The Barbarian of the Academy - Chapter 372
74page. the end) (6)
10.
Countless hands attacking from all sides.
The moment they faced their hands as black as the darkness of the abyss, the warriors instinctively felt it. That you will never be able to get caught in that grip.
So all at once they left.
Even so, the guy persistently pursued the party, and eventually the chase stopped only after Ulan stepped out and cut off all the hands..
The momentary leeway created by it.
Ulan spoke to Noah..
“what can i do now?”
“…….”
But no answer came back. Noah was also taken aback by the sudden situation..
After a while, she managed to come to her senses and suddenly bit her lip. Then she looked at Ulan and she suddenly lowered her head..
“……I don't know either.”
“what?”
“In the original, this did not happen. No, this is the first time I've ever defeated all six lords of the abyss.…….”
Noah's voice trembled.
I was taken aback by a completely unexpected situation. I thought I was almost there, but I never thought this would happen.
Noah lowered his head again and again with a feeling of helplessness covering his chest..
“……sorry i couldn't help.”
What kind of expression is Ulan making??
He must have been disappointed.
A prophet who does not know the future is useless. Around the time when I constantly blamed myself for the gloomy mood that surged like a wave.
“Noah.”
Suddenly Ulan called his name.
Noah shrugged, but then slowly raised his head to look at him. Ulan's expression reflected in his blue eyes was calm..
Reaction without disappointment or anger.
Ulan spoke again.
“Trust your experience so far.”
“……yes?”
A strange sound that suddenly flew in.
Noah asked blankly, and Ulan revealed the reason for uttering these words..
“No matter how unknown it is, if you believe in the experiences you have faced so far, you will surely find a breakthrough..”
“ha, but…….”
“you are my colleague.”
A word that came out after interrupting Noah's words.
Ulan continued talking with a serious face..
“It's not just me. We all think of you as a colleague, and so should you..”
Of course. Noah also considers everyone, including Ulan, as a valuable colleague and friend..
So, as I nodded softly, Ulan brought up the main topic as if he had waited..
“Everyone is by your side right now, so you don't have to worry about your problems alone..”
“Ulan…….”
Noah's eyes trembled slightly..
As if surprised by the unexpected comfort.
After a while, she took a deep breath. With her stuffy feelings that she kept in her heart.
He then stretched out his palm and patted his cheek. Then he nodded her head with a sad face..
“all right. I'll look for it.”
how to win against it.
When Noah's eyes, which had been dimming powerlessly, returned to normal, Ulan grinned..
“Alright, if it's time, I'll earn it.”
After answering, Ulan revealed all the strength he had suppressed. Because the opponent in front of him had already experienced the realm of transcendence once..
Eventually, the moment the battlefield became Uhlan's territory, he moved faster than a flash and fired his ax at the source of the abyss..
Quagga gaga go! Quaang!
After exchanging several loud battles, a familiar voice was heard from beyond countless hands..
【It's definitely a force out of the box.】
【However, it is only the standard of mortals.】
【Your blows will not reach the abyss.】
talk that goes on indifferently.
Ulan was sneering at the sight of him dismissing Ulan's power as if it were nothing..
“You speak well to the subject who ran away in the desert..”
At that time, he took control of the giant king Largtan's body and confronted Ulan. And in the process, he disappeared as if he was embarrassed by the transcendent realm and ran away..
When Ulan mentioned this, his voice sank even lower..
【don't be mistaken.】
【At that time, there was a physical limitation.】
【On the other hand, it is different now when the door is open.】
【Let me feel the difference in class, human!】
At the signal of a loud roar, countless hands stretched out to aim for Ulan. With him, the field of fierce battle opened..
Meanwhile, at that time, Noah looked at the source of the abyss with a calm face. He was trying to figure out a way to win against him..
‘All beings have a source.’
But he is the source itself.
Right now, Ulan also called him by the name of the source of the abyss..
So what should I do to get rid of him??
The solution is surprisingly simple. It would be enough just to get rid of those countless grips themselves..
‘but…….’
That's easy to say, but never easy to put into action. Because he didn't have a clear form in the first place.
The current appearance of the creature can be defined in one word: darkness transformed into the shape of the hand. This means that physical attacks are almost impervious..
‘That doesn't mean magic works.’
In fact, Dillia poured star cluster magic several times to counterattack. But the guy looked fine, as if he hadn't been hurt at all..
The same goes for divine power and spirit magic..
It felt like looking at a monster that was immune to all attacks..
‘On the other hand…….’
Ulan was an exception..
Unlike the other champions, Uhlan's blow seemed to be effective against him..
The proof is that the guy who received all other attacks with his body only blocked or avoided Ulan's axe..
So, maybe there's a clue to victory here? Noah pondered over and over again.
But soon his face darkened.
‘……I don't know.’
No matter how much I think.
The only thing I found out was that there was some special power in the realm of the transcendent, but this is a guess that anyone can come up with..
So when I sighed again.
“Noah.”
A familiar voice tapped in my ear..
It was Dillia, a silver-haired girl who used magic and assisted Ulan. She reached out her finger and tapped Noah on the forehead..
“Alone, don't worry.”
“dilia……?”
“Rely on us more. If you need it, whatever it is, if you like it, pamper it to your heart's content.”
Dillia spreads her tiny palms.
At this, Noah looked blankly at the golden eyes filled with strong faith. She heard unexpected words from him that she had never thought of..
and as a signal.
Other companions also added their words..
“that's right. Did Ulan do that too? you are not alone I mean we are by your side.”
“So please count on us.”
Isabella and Laurea.
They both looked at Noah with eyes full of faith. It was the look of faith toward Noah, not anyone else..
“Please tell me if there is anything I can do.”
“Just like it used to be.”
Plus Ian and Sven.
Noah, who had a dazed look on his colleagues' reactions, soon smiled lightly..
“……yes thank you all.”
Noah nodded slowly..
After meeting everyone's eyes, she turned her gaze back to the battlefield. After she was about to resume her guess from the beginning, she met her eyes with Ulan..
and at that moment.
Ulan pursed his lips. Faced with this, Noah involuntarily opened his eyes wide..
「Don't be in a hurry. 'cause I'm fine.」
It was because the silent message he evoked accurately read Noah's mind..
As the saying goes, the moment Noah first encountered the source of the abyss, he judged that the longer he dragged on, the more he would be at a disadvantage..
‘so i was in a hurry.’
In order to come up with a way to lead to victory as soon as possible. As a result, my mind naturally became impatient, and many worries arose..
Furthermore, it seems that this was buried in the face as it is. Even Ulan, who is usually clueless, could guess Noah's intentions..
‘yeah let's not rush.’
Take your time and observe the battlefield.
After clearing his mind, Noah cleared his mind..
After that, after repeating a slow, deep breath, he gazed at the battlefield with a more comfortable face than before..
how long has it been like that?
As he watched the tense battle, Noah's eyes suddenly widened a little..
‘uh?’
While watching the battle between Ulan and Abyss, there was something that caught my eye..
the very movement of the abyss.
Of course, since the battle took place within the realm, Noah, who was not a master, could not observe the exact movement of the abyss..
However, there was something to know.
‘Why don't you dodge the attack??’
Currently, Abyss did not avoid Ulan's offensive and continued to block it..
Why do I keep blocking things that could be solved by avoiding them like before? When he was in doubt, he found something that caught his eye..
‘wait for a sec! there is obviously…….’
Behind the battlefield where Ulan and Abyss collide.
That is the place where the door to the abyss had been there just a little while ago. But now I could not find the door to the abyss even after washing my eyes..
‘I hope the door is closed?’
A sudden thought came to mind, but Noah shook his head violently. Because it couldn't be.
So where did the door to the abyss disappear to? Around the time when I was calmly worrying over and over again at the question that came back to the starting point.
‘Or did he hide the door itself??’
It was a valid guess at least..
Just a moment ago, the place where the door to the abyss opened was now wrapped in a dark abyssal curtain like pitch black..
‘if my guess is…….’
There must be a door in the abyss beyond.
It would be best to go and check it out for yourself, but I couldn't do that right now..
Because the space between the current warriors and the place was full of monsters from the abyss..
but there was no need to worry.
“laurea.”
Because Noah was not alone now.
So I immediately called.
“I can do just one favor?”
“sure. what can i do?”
“Please look over there through the projection eye. And check if there is an abyss door.”
“all right. wait a minute.”
At Noah's request, Laurea gazed at the veil of the abyss without hesitation. After a while, the long-awaited answer came back..
“Yes, there is a door to the abyss.”
Noah's eyes lit up at those words..
As I speculated earlier, the door to the abyss is currently covered in darkness. So Noah continued to speculate..
‘Then why did you hide the door?’
The answer to this question is two.
One is that there is some reason why the door must be guarded, and the other is that the door is the weak point of the abyss..
Meanwhile, Laurea, who had been keeping an eye on the Abyss Gate, spoke again..
“And I see something a little odd.”
“it's unusual?”
“Yes, the guy fighting Uhlan and the Abyssal Gate are connected by a thin thread..”
The two beings are connected by a thin thread.
The moment he heard those words, something flashed through Noah's mind. It was an explanation about the door to the abyss that I was tired of hearing in the original work..
‘……Abyssal Gate.’
The passage that connects the world of light and the abyss.
The opening of the door means that a passage is created between the two worlds, and through this, all kinds of beings from the abyss cross the dimension and come here..
‘And the beings of the abyss use the magic of the abyss flowing from beyond the door as a driving force, so they can operate smoothly here too..’
In other words, the identity of 'thread' is highly likely to be a kind of bridge that supplies the magic power of the abyss. Noah's eyes twinkled at this fact..
‘then if…….’
Destroy the Abyss Gate itself?
So, what would happen if the mana of the abyss was not properly supplied? Noah added another guess to the thought that suddenly came to him..
‘Maybe it will be isolated as it is?’
You won't even be able to return to the abyss. Because the passageway connecting the two dimensions has disappeared.
After that, you will not be able to receive magical power supply, and your power will naturally weaken as time goes by. Noah, who recalled this far, brightened her eyes strongly..
‘then you can win!’
The clue to victory that I finally remembered.
Noah clenched his fists with a brightened face. Then, after recognizing this expression, Dillia asked in an unbelievable tone..
“Maybe, something, found out?”
Noah immediately nodded..
Then he conveyed to the party the speculations and plans he had conceived from the beginning until now..
some time after that.
The warriors who listened to the explanation of the whole thing chewed on Noah's words with carefully changed faces..
“well, that means…….”
“Does that mean his weakness is the door to the abyss??”
“Yes, it's just a guess that destroying that door will weaken the power of the abyss..”
Noah nodded..
It was with the word speculation to the end.
On the other hand, the party seemed to have already accepted her guess as a fait accompli..
“Then I'll have to break it right now.”
“but how to break?”
“that…….”
Sven, speechless for a moment, glanced at Noah. Noah shook his head at this..
“It's hard even with my strength. But if it's Ulan, maybe it's possible.”
The proof is that you only block or avoid Ulan attacks while ignoring all attacks from other heroes of the abyss or receiving them with your body..
In addition, when he got close to the abyss door, he did not avoid the attack, but only blocked it. This means that Uhlan's attack will work through the door as well..
The other warriors nodded as if they understood the situation at Noah's explanation..
“Then I'll have to make a gap somehow.”
“I'm going to break through the road.”
Ian and Ibella ignite their fighting spirit.
The other warriors also flashed determined eyes as if they were aware of their respective tasks. Faced with these warriors, Noah spoke in a calm tone..
“Then I'll start the operation from now on.”
As a signal from Noah's word, the six warriors kicked the ground in unison. To achieve victory in what may be the last battle.
