The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 344
70page. different from back then. (1)
1.
After Syrupi and the others disappeared.
As the light that illuminated the battlefield gradually disappeared, the battlefield was once again covered with darkness..
but that's for a while.
saaaaa─!
A faint ray of light rose with the sound of the wind blowing. It soon emitted a soft light and revealed the darkness of the abyss..
[Grrrrr!]
It is the light emitted by the white wolf.
The guy who stayed by Ulan's side revealed his teeth to the giants surrounding him on all sides..
On the other hand, the giants who were aiming for Syrpy and the group of warriors sniffed as if they were looking for a target that suddenly disappeared..
some time after that.
I turned around and moved up the crack, as if I had found the direction the other party had disappeared..
Eventually, the moment I stepped out.
──────!
A dazzling flash that suddenly poured down without a sound split the darkness of the abyss in half..
Then there was a terrifying sound of tearing skin and breaking bones, and the heads of the giants who were trying to chase Syrpi and the others flew into the sky..
“no one can go beyond this.”
a calm voice.
It was none other than Ulan's voice. Holding the two axes crossed, he stood tall where his party was and gazed at the battlefield..
and at that moment.
With Ulan at the center, the fierce momentum that overwhelms the battlefield blew like a gust of wind..
“As long as my breath is attached, never!”
Fighting spirit, fighting spirit, intent to kill, etc..
The giants flinched at the spirit of the person who was called the giant killer in their past lives, determined and unable to move..
Around the time a brief confrontation ensued.
A loud laugh suddenly resounded from beyond the army of giants..
【hahahaha! It's the same this time.】
Giant King Largtan's Laughter.
He just watched the situation without doing anything while Ulan bought time to evacuate the warriors..
As if it had nothing to do with how far Sylphy and the warriors escaped..
【you did the same last time I stayed alone behind enemy lines and fought for my life and luggage. Before that, and long before.】
Largtan Appears From Beyond the Darkness.
A satisfied smile bloomed on his lips. As if satisfied with Ulan's decision to remain alone.
【Only Jim knows. You're not here just to save your comrades.】
An unknown word that followed soon.
Ulan tilted his head..
“what does that mean?”
Because I couldn't understand Largtan's words.
Then the answer came back.
【Don't be fooled. Are we of the same kind??】
he shrugged.
Soon after, he licked his lips and said.
【Only fighting against the strong is the joy of life, and a being born with the destiny of a warrior who can prove his existence only through fighting! that's us!】
The guy who beats his chest and screams.
Seeing Largtan speak confidently, Ulan involuntarily burst into laughter..
“That's not very wrong..”
As Largtan said.
The reason Ulan remained here was to prevent the giants from chasing injured comrades, but there were other reasons as well..
“Just because it's destiny to fight dozens of times and always face the same outcome, I don't think it's going to be the same this time either..”
Ulan's lips twisted up.
A ferocious smile bloomed above him. It was a smile like that of a wild beast in front of its prey..
“I'm different than you remember.”
Of course, this also applies to Largtan..
Because he has received an unknown power from the source of the abyss and is much stronger than he was in his last life..
Even so, Ulan was confident of victory..
I don't know why.
I just felt that way. I'm sure this time I'll never lose.
therefore─.
“I will take the victory.”
Now is the time to win or lose.
Ulan took a step forward.
In order to put an end to the countless repeated battles, in order to break the fixed destiny that Noah said.
and at that moment.
The realm of uhlans swallowed the battlefield.
The area that stretched out coolly in an instant was soon blocked by a huge wall..
【hahahaha! okay! should come out like that!】
Giant King Largtan's Realm.
Spreading an area several times wider than Ulan, he kicked the ground..
【Break the load! Ulaanbaatar!】
Eventually, the moment the two areas overlap.
Two battle-crazed monsters collided.
To sit in the seat of the one and only winner.
2.
Meanwhile at that time.
When Ulan and Largtan clashed.
A sudden change occurred some distance from the battlefield of the abyss. Seven men and women came out of the shadows..
“Heck!”
“Woo-wook! I think I'm going to vomit.”
It is Syrupi and the warrior party..
Rising out of the shadows, each of them grabbed their stomachs and heads and rolled on the ground. It was because of an intense headache and an upset stomach..
but that's for a while.
“……Holy Ghost.”
After recovering his condition by reciting a prayer, Ian hurriedly turned around. It was to check the condition of Laurea and the other warriors..
“How are the other guys?”
“Fortunately, it seems to be unharmed.”
Ian replied with a sigh of relief..
It was because breathing was somewhat rapid, but other than that, there were no particularly serious changes. Later, around the time of checking the condition of Dillia and Perticia.
“poetry, sirpy?!”
Suddenly an urgent scream was heard..
Isabella's voice. She supported the fallen Sir Py with her bewildered face..
Blood flowed ceaselessly from the nose, ears, eyes, and mouth. At first glance, in a serious condition, Ibela shouted in a puzzled tone..
“Go, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?! It was clear earlier……!”
you said it was okay I meant to say that.
However, Syrpy's answer took precedence..
“sorry. it was a lie.”
“what, what?”
I asked, as if it were absurd, but there was no answer. Syrpi coughed continuously, and blood and pieces of flesh came out of his mouth..
Ibela, who was watching this blankly, immediately shouted as if she couldn't understand..
“why……!”
“……'Cause you said you were my friend.”
In a situation where blood was filling his mouth, Syrupi barely continued to answer. Then he smiled as much as he could and said.
“so i wanted to help to the best of my ability that's why.”
After you have finished what you want to say.
Shirpy felt his consciousness fade away. It must be that his life force is rapidly depleting because he forced his magic technique unreasonably..
Just when I thought that if I closed my eyes like this, I would never be able to open them, I suddenly felt a warm feeling wrap around my body..
‘This……?’
A strange feeling that I feel for the first time in my life.
At that moment, Ian's face was visible through the blurred vision. Apparently, he was probably using a divine spell of healing on himself..
‘This is something to live for a long time.’
I never thought the day would come when the heirs of the Desert Church receive healing spells from the Holy Knights..
Still, the effect was clear..
It was because I felt that my consciousness, which had been fading away, was slowly returning to clarity. As a result, my confused mind soon returned to normal..
‘what?’
then.
A sudden question arose.
‘why am i here?’
Originally, she planned to evacuate everyone and remain on the battlefield alone. But how did she open her eyes and she was with this Bella.
Could it be that the magic trick failed??
No, it can't be. If so, your body wouldn't have been so damaged..
‘then why…….’
The moment when doubts continued to arise.
Suddenly, there was a voice that passed through my mind..
「go first.」
With an army of countless giants in front.
The voice of a man who spoke indifferently as if whispering while showing his broad and strong back.
Holding two axes and fluttering auburn hair, he surely whispered:.
「Somebody has to stay anyway.」
Ulan. It was Ulan's voice..
The moment he remembered this, Syrupy's eyes widened. It was only then that I realized the situation..
Afterwards, she raised her head, struggling to suppress the pain that seemed to break her body..
“Lee, Isabella.”
“Sirpy! come to your senses?”
“Yes. I'm okay.”
Syrupy nodded slightly towards Isella, who was crying and asking back. Then she put the words out of her mouth that she had to say immediately..
“That, more than that, Ulan……?”
“……!”
The moment Syrpy's words echoed.
Everyone's faces hardened..
Because that's when I remembered it. A fact he had forgotten for a while while treating Syrpy. That Ulan was left alone on the battlefield.
“shit! that fool!”
Sven was the first to react.
He crumpled his face and pounded the ground with his fists..
“What are you going to do by repeating the battles you failed in your last life?!?”
It was accompanied by a cry of strong anger..
Ian just bit his lip in silence, and Ibella stared blankly down the crack. Then he suddenly grabbed the sword and kicked out of the seat..
“……have to go.”
“what?”
“i have to go back.”
“Evela! please calm down!”
Ian grabbed her arm as she was about to jump off the seat and run away..
In response, Ibella shook her arm vigorously to shake off Ian's hand..
“let go of this!”
“It's not possible!”
“I can't leave Ulan alone. At this rate, it's the same as the past life I heard from Noah!”
“I know that but still can't!”
Ian shakes his head repeatedly.
Sven also stood in her way..
“Ian is right. Even if we join, in our current state, it will only be a lump of baggage..”
“but……!”
“More than anything else, the reason we were able to escape safely was because he risked his life to activate a spell. I'm about to blow it up?”
Sven pointed at Sirpy..
In response, Ibella bit her lip..
It was because I realized that there was nothing wrong with what Ian and Sven said. But apart from that, she continued to feel a sense of foreboding..
there is only one reason.
It's because of the words I heard from Noah in the past.
「Staying alone to save the other warriors, fighting Largtan and dying. This is Ulan's fixed fate..」
Fate repeated dozens or hundreds of times.
death never escaped.
So, it was natural to feel uneasy. So, just as she was about to move her steps again, she heard a voice grabbing her feet..
“Of course, Ulan will be saved as well..”
Ian speaks again.
It was with seriously shining eyes.
“However, in order to do so, the curse on the saintess must first be lifted. That way you can heal your wounds too..”
Furthermore, if you can lift the curse on Dylia and Perticia, you will be able to help Ulan..
“Perhaps Ulan also told me to prioritize this. Because this is the only way everyone will survive at this point..”
“that's right. So trust Ulan for now and let's do what we can.”
Sven also supported Ian's opinion..
Listening to the two's soft answers, Ybela suddenly felt the last whispers of Ulan come to mind..
「do not worry. win this time.」
Ulan said that with a smile.
It was as if he was asking to believe in himself, not someone who was prepared to sacrifice..
Remembering this, Ibella patted her cheek vigorously. After a while, she managed to regain her composure and immediately nodded her head..
“……Yeah, sorry for pushing you.”
“it's okay. Because I understand.”
Ian grinned as if in relief..
“Then what can I do?”
“As I said earlier, we must first lift the curse on the saintess. That way you can heal your wounds too..”
what needs to be done right now.
Briefly explaining this, Ian turned to both Sven and Syrpy and continued..
“To do so, once…….”
You have to join someone who can solve the current crisis the party is facing. As I was about to say that, I suddenly felt a presence..
[shruck?]
A being that flicks a long, thin tongue.
It was a snake with a huge body that came close to me before I knew it. Noticing their presence belatedly, everyone in the group opened their eyes wide..
“you, you……!”
“Rudric's family?”
Serpent, one of the gods of the Desert Church.
When everyone was making puzzled faces at his sudden appearance, a familiar voice was heard from beyond the place where the poisonous snake had appeared..
“haha, i finally found it.”
“……!?”
The voice everyone has been waiting for.
Soon, in the place where the party's gaze was headed, there was a black-haired girl wiping sweat from her forehead. She made eye contact with the group and then smiled..
“Everyone waited a long time?”
A being that can overcome this crisis.
It was the appearance of Noah Darschen..
