The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 364

6.
Imperial Castle of Ruben Empire.
Having swallowed Chartrand's body, Lacus sat on the throne and gazed into space..
Where his gaze reached, a completely different landscape unfolded. It was none other than the fountain of magic, the scenery of District 5..
“Hmm.”
What was reflected in the eyes of Lacus, who was touching his chin in an interesting way, was the figure of Demuel Ron Dermore confronting Uhlan and the others..
The reason you can see such a sight at a considerable distance from the Well of Power is due to some kind of 'device' that the worshipers have placed in the Well..
“It'll come to an end soon.”
Through this, Lacus, who overheard the conversation between Demuel and Ulan, slightly raised his mouth..
At that moment, Demuel's voice, as if he had given up on everything, was clearly heard..
「Please do your best. I want to see the power of those who have reached the realm of the transcendent..」
「i get it. not trying.」
Ulan's answer followed.
Lacus opened his eyes wide when he heard the words of the transcendental realm between the two. It's like he's not going to miss a moment..
The moment when expectations are getting higher and higher.
Suddenly, an intruder appeared. Someone moved like a flash and cut off Demuel's head..
“this.”
Lacus' brow wrinkled..
Ulan's Unknown Power.
I tried to collect information about the transcendental realm, but it all turned into nothing..
Moments later, through a conversation overheard after Demuel's death, Lacus figured out what was going on..
“I am also a stranger. quick-witted.”
It would be natural.
The stranger who is with the heroes now is a monster who has lived through countless lives in the flow of countless times..
Kuduk! Wooddeuk─!
Just as I was about to let out a sigh of regret, an object resembling mud suddenly rose out of nowhere..
It took shape gradually and soon changed into a familiar appearance. Demuel Ron Dermore. This is the apostle of Lacus who was at the fountain of magic until just now..
“······sorry, master.”
“Okay. it's not your fault It's just that the stranger's intuition was sharper than I thought..”
Watching Demuel lower his head as if he had no face, Lacus waved his hand lightly as if he didn't care at all..
“suffered anyway Allow her to stay with Yu Lepe until her body recovers..”
“thank you master.”
Demuel turned around with a greeting.
Lacus heard everything Demuel had just said to Ulan and the others. But he wasn't particularly agitated. because he already knew.
‘I can't understand.’
But that's why I was even more suspicious..
Yurpe is nothing more than a mere spirit that will soon dissipate in futility. No matter how bloody it is, is it necessary to endure so many sacrifices for just such an existence??
If Lacus were in his position, he would never have chosen him. Just wondering for a moment, Lacus shook his head lightly..
‘Well, it's fine now.’
It is enough to faithfully carry out one's command until the day it disappears. Because Yurpe and Demuel are nothing more than tools, nothing less.
And now, more important than anything else, there was another business. After finishing his thoughts, Lacus spoke to De Muel, who was quite far away..
“Come to think of it, Demuel.”
“yes sir.”
“Did you leave what I gave you?”
“of course. I threw it right in the center of the fountain of magic, and it should start working soon..”
“good. Good job.”
Lacus gave me two devices.
As mentioned before, one of them was a device for observing the fountain of magic, and the other was a kind of tool to open the door to the abyss..
However, this is only a tool. In order to completely open the door to the abyss, Lacus must visit the fountain of magic himself..
In order to open the door to the abyss, he needs the source of the abyss he has obtained..
‘but nothing to worry about.’
I already finished all the preparations.
The only important thing from now on is to figure out when to visit the fountain of magic..
Besides, even that was almost ready by now. Shortly after Demuel disappeared, the scenery from another point of view appeared in the air as proof..
“It's finally starting.”
The scenery in Lacus's field of vision.
It was the imperial army advancing towards Arsene Academy in line with Oh..
Conversely, Ulan and his party at the Magic Fountain seem to be unaware of this situation yet. Lacus laughed again, lifting the corner of his mouth..
“now what are you gonna do?”
Their choices determine Lacus's future. In response, Lacus calmly waited. The moment the warrior party makes a decision.
7.
Meanwhile around that time.
Noah, who was keeping an eye on the imperial castle, patted the cheek once with the palm of his hand. It was to get rid of the random thoughts that suddenly popped up..
‘let's focus the important thing is not this.’
The priority now is to close the gap in the abyss opened by Demuel and his followers..
Noah drew the magic circle needed for the spell before the gap in the abyss. I had a similar experience the other day, so it was to immediately close the gap..
some time after that.
“what?”
Noah's eyes widened slightly..
After all the necessary preparations were completed, the magic method was activated, but nothing changed. Then, when she put on a puzzled expression, she started talking to people around her..
“why? there's something wrong?”
“If you need help, tell me.”
Voices of Ybela and Dillia.
Noah nodded slightly and tried once again to close the gap in the abyss..
However, the situation did not change this time, and after realizing that it was not a problem that could be solved by worrying alone, he confessed the truth to the party..
“what, what?!”
“I can't close the gap?”
Evela and Laurea opened their eyes wide..
A look of surprise. Ian also asked back as if to retort with an incomprehensible face..
“But was it possible last time??”
“It was. but not now.”
Noah scratched his nails.
It was the same for her who was frustrated because she didn't know the reason. As she pondered why she couldn't close the chasm of the abyss, she came back with an unexpected answer..
“This is not a gap in the abyss.”
It was Ulan's voice..
At a word that came out of nowhere, everyone's eyes, including Noah, turned to him..
“Yes? What are you talking about?”
“Anyone can see that this is a gap in the abyss.”
The gap where the monsters of the abyss poured.
If this ain't a gap in the abyss then what is it??
Noah tilted his head as if he didn't understand what Ulan was saying. To this, Ulan responded with a grave tone..
“As far as I know, there is only one gap that cannot be closed. coincidentally the place.”
“······ah!”
A gap that cannot be closed. and place.
Hearing this, Noah's eyes widened. Only then did Ulan realize what he was trying to say..
“Are you talking about the door to the abyss??”
“is the correct answer.”
Ulan gave a refreshing smile..
Noah, on the other hand, looked confused..
“Of course, the location is the same, but the door to the abyss is not open yet..”
“If that's the case, isn't it time for the monarchs to come out of the world yet?.”
Noah shuts up.
It was because I was speechless at the reasoning that was not like Ulan. If you deny that it is definitely different from the original, there will be no way to explain the variables you have experienced so far..
‘then really······.’
This is the door to the abyss?
When such a family came to mind, Noah's expression hardened at once. Because if the guesses are true, things are much worse than expected..
When I was shaking my head furiously.
“by the way.”
Sven, who had been silently listening to the conversation, tilted his head with his brow furrowed. Then she asked in a puzzled tone.
“What is the difference between the door of the abyss and the chasm? There is a difference other than the size of the hole?”
“yes, there is a significant difference.”
It's really different.
Noah shook his head and explained the difference between the two to everyone, including Sven..
“First of all, when the door to the abyss is opened, the surrounding area is swallowed up in the darkness of the abyss, just as happened in the desert oasis a thousand years ago..”
This means that abyssal erosion occurs.
However, a phenomenon of erosion occurs on a scale that is incomparable to that experienced by the party..
In terms of range, it is large enough to swallow the entire area of the Magic Fountain, as well as Arsene Academy and the surrounding villages..
“Moreover, the bigger problem is that the moment the door to the abyss is complete, the gaps in the abyss open randomly across the continent..”
In other words, the monsters of the abyss appear randomly all over the continent. Then the deaths of innocent people will be much more frequent..
At Noah's explanation, Sven's face hardened like a stone. Only then did I fully understand the seriousness of the situation..
“Afterwards, when the world is covered by the abyss, Lacus's power will only grow stronger, making it even more difficult to find its source..”
After Noah's story is over.
The atmosphere quickly froze..
At the same time, there was a common thought that came to everyone's head. That the door to the abyss should not be left as it is.
“Rather than that, why did the door suddenly open??”
“There's no reason to guess?”
“······I honestly don't. What is certain, however, is that the state of inquiry is not yet complete..”
Noah answered with a sigh..
Then, Dillia's eyes twinkled as if she had just found something to worry about in the answer..
“Well, now, incomplete, I mean?”
“Yes, even in the original work, there were several conditions required for the door to the abyss to be complete..”
After answering, Noah explained the conditions..
First, all the Lords of the Abyss will come into the world.
Second, the magical power of the abyss will reach the reference point.
Third, when the above conditions are satisfied, the true abyss must activate the door by expressing its power..
“Probably the first and second conditions are already satisfied. Lacus is the only remaining monarch, and he must have already secured a considerable amount of magic from the abyss..”
“Then all that's left······.”
“That's the third condition.”
Ulan muttered softly..
Along with that, Sven's question followed..
“But what is the true abyss??”
“It means the only Lord of the Abyss who has been recognized by the Abyss. So for now, it's safe to say it's referring to Lacus..”
As I said before, the only remaining monarch is Lacus..
In other words, if Lacus comes here and expresses his power, the door to the abyss will be complete..
And to put it the other way around, it was like saying that if Lacus was subdued, the door to the abyss would not be complete. Immediately after realizing this fact, Ulan's eyes shone grimly..
“After all, it would be best to go to the imperial castle.”
“that······.”
Even Noah couldn't deny it this time.
Of course, directly infiltrating the imperial castle was the last resort, but the only place where you could face Lacus directly was the imperial castle..
When the atmosphere gradually became heavy.
Suddenly, a loud vibration shook the hall..
thud! cooooung!
A roar came from District 4. After a while, what appeared in front of the party was a gigantic golem that was eight meters tall..
“what? Is that also the monster of the abyss??”
“no. that······.”
Guardian of the Fountain of Magic.
A magical golem that is in charge of the entrance to each area. Meanwhile, the golem that arrived in District 5 stopped and looked around..
[Guys! are you there now?]
Soon a familiar voice was heard..
It is Professor Stella's voice..
It seemed that he was controlling the golem remotely and conveying his voice. Noah responded to Stella on behalf of everyone..
“yes, professor we are here.”
[ah! it's noah It's all right?]
“Everything is fine. I'm not hurt anywhere.”
[really? phew, good luck I'm so glad.]
A breath of relief through the golem.
After a while, Stella's voice began to be heard again..
[More than that, there are no more monsters coming out from the direction of the fountain of magic.······.]
“that's right. I got it all done.”
[Ahaha, that's great too.]
Stella laughed awkwardly..
Well, it would be natural. Right now, Dillia alone is powerful enough to slay hundreds of monsters with a single spell..
some time after that.
Unexpected words came back from Stella.
[good. Then go to the shelter.]
“······yes?”
Noah, who understood the words a step later than the others, asked with a puzzled face. He subdued all the monsters, so why did he have to go to the shelter??
Afterwards, when he asked back as if he couldn't understand, Stella mentioned the true intention of what he just said..
[It's not because of the monster. The reason I told you to go to the shelter is because of the Imperials..]
“the imperial army?”
[Yeah, the Imperials are coming here.]
towards Arsene Academy.
Immediately after Stella's answer stopped, Noah and everyone's faces hardened like stone..
