The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 89

(2)

4.

Noah and Dillia's participation in the war.

The battle resumed, but there was no change in the situation.

the reason was simple.

The number of monsters pouring down from the rift of the abyss was far greater than the number of enemies to defeat..

“Ooh, it seems like more and more.”

“……I can't see the end.”

Noah and Dillia murmured with tired faces as they watched the hordes of monsters rushing in..

Ulan also nodded silently..

As if I agree with both of them.

A chasm in the abyss with no sign of closing.

Plus endlessly pouring monsters. Fighting at random is not the best way under these circumstances..

‘If it was the past life…….’

I wouldn't have cared about tactics or anything..

He must have focused only on defeating the enemy in front of him until he collapsed from exhaustion..

But after meeting other warriors.

Furthermore, fighting alongside them, Ulan's fighting style gradually changed..

‘Of course, I still don't know the tactics.’

Still, it is possible to measure the efficiency.

Ulan surveyed the battlefield with a cold eye..

The first thing that came into sight was a monster as gigantic as a building..

‘large superspecies, corcus.’

It's better to be a warrior than a wizard to deal with that..

Because Corcus' hide has the ability to reduce magic effects..

So, for a mage to kill him, a much larger amount of mana is consumed than other monsters..

This is an ineffective way of fighting.

‘but i'm different.’

Uhlan can rip through the tough hide and rip Corcus in half with just a mighty swing of his spirit-enhanced axe..

Therefore, it is right for a warrior to deal with an entity that has resistance to magic, such as Corcus..

‘Conversely, dealing with monsters…….’

Ulan side is ineffective.

Demons are magical creatures born from magical powers..

That's why they are relatively weak against magic, but they have considerable resistance to physical attacks because they are insubstantial..

Of course, Ulan tear it by force, but.

‘Still, there are many of them.’

Even if you count only those on the battlefield right now, it's close to a thousand. This is the number even though some of them went to District 1..

In other words, Ulan had to wield the ax a lot to get rid of the monster. Compared to Corcus, the efficiency is too low..

immediately after contemplation.

Kwajik! oh oh oh!

Ulan coolly cut the corcus that had reached a close distance in half. And he talked to the two girls who were preparing magic in the rear..

“share the role.”

“yes? how?”

“I will take on the giants while protecting you as I am now. So don't worry about anything else, just focus on reducing the number of monsters..”

As soon as Ulan's words are over.

Noah and Dillia nodded..

It was an embarrassingly simple proposal to even call it a strategy, but it was still better than fighting without a plan..

After canceling the magic you were about to cast.

Dillia turned to Noah..

“Roughly, half by one, if you take it, it will be fine?”

“Ugh, I'm sorry, but that sounds like a bit difficult..”

“why?”

“Well, I've barely learned how to use it in situations like this..”

Noah's teacher, Shaman Azuh.

As one of the named characters in the original, she is one of the 'supporters' that can be counted among ten fingers across all continents..

And Noah, who was taught by Azuh, only possessed skills specific to supporters..

‘So I entered Arsene Academy and tried to learn offensive magic..’

Even this failed.

The witchcraft that Noah wanted to learn was because he could register for the course from the second grade..

Of course, that doesn't mean there's no way to attack. Because Noah has various curse skills.

‘but…….’

A monster is a magical creature with no substance.

That's why the curse doesn't work on them.

Meanwhile, after Noah's answer, Dillia frowned and sighed..

“……Noah, really, incompetent.”

“That, but I know how to break the enemy's formation or block the retreat! Or gather enemies in one place…….”

Noah talking as if making excuses.

But Dillia had already turned her attention away. Afterwards, looking at her battlefield again, she licked her lips and muttered..

“A number like that is a bit heavy…….”

“Can't we use meteor shower??”

then.

Ulan, who had cut down the third corcus, said as if tossing it. Dillia asked back with a very surprised face at his question..

“that, that, uhlan, how do you know?”

“heard before.”

did i say that?

Dillia tilted her head..

I deserved it.

The meteor shower was one of her worries that she had never told anyone about..

‘But from what Ulan knew…….’

Maybe I said it before without even realizing it..

Otherwise, he, who is unfamiliar with magic, would not have brought up the word meteor shower first..

After organizing your thoughts.

Dillia nodded..

“that's right. If that's the case, it's possible.”

meteor shower).

This is a 7-star star cluster magic, and like its name, it is a strategic magic that rains down meteors..

However, since the magic technique is difficult and the amount of mana consumed is large, it was also a very difficult magic among the cluster magics..

“But, I'm still immature.”

Through all kinds of magic and witchcraft.

7Starting from the castle, it is the realm of the mage..

It means that Dillia, who is still at the level of a high-level wizard, is not at the level of magic that can be used..

‘Of course I understand in theory…….’

If you ask me if I can perfectly implement the magic, that's not the case. So Dillia let out a weak sound again and again..

“And, the magic power is, a little, lacking…….”

“ah! Don't worry if it's magic.”

In the meantime, Noah suddenly interrupted..

It was with the amulet shining blue.

“I made it in advance in case of an unexpected situation. come on, take it.”

“what is this?”

“It's magical power. It's literally a talisman containing magic power. If you hold this in your mouth and breathe in, you can absorb the magical energy stored inside..”

In other words, an ability similar to magic potion.

Dillia, who instantly understood Noah's words, looked at her with new eyes..

“Noah, strangely, useful, there is.”

“Whoops, that's right?”

“The battle is incompetent.”

“Ugh, stop saying incompetent.”

Noah with a gloomy face screaming in pain.

Facing this, Dillia burst into a light laugh. But even for a moment, she continued with a serious face again..

“Ulan. I'll be honest.”

“tell me.”

“Actually, I don't have.”

While holding tight to the hem of the skirt.

Dillia bit her lip..

“Never, ever, never made it.”

After answering, she bowed her head..

Like sorry for not being helpful. I was willing to accept any criticism. But what came back was an unexpected answer.

“Know.”

“Yes?”

“Cause you wouldn't even try.”

I've never tried it, so of course I've never been successful. At Ulan's words, Dillia opened her eyes wide..

“uh how did you do that…….”

“heard before.”

With the same answer as before.

Ulan quietly searched for his memory. She told the stories she had heard from Dillia in her past life..

「Dividing the realm according to the class of magic is the standard for ordinary wizards. Those who are loved by Mana are a little different.」

The night of the day when the battle was over.

I once lit a campfire and talked about past regrets with Ybela..

At the time, Dillia immediately said:.

「In other words, regardless of the level, as long as you understand the magic theory perfectly and have enough magic power, even a high-level wizard can use 7-star magic..」

Dillia, out of nowhere, gave an explanation about the realm of magic. She soon put on a melancholy expression and murmured with a sigh..

「So you will regret it even more. If I had tried using a meteor shower then, then I could have saved more soldiers.……」

Remorse for not saving more lives with belated realization. Recalling the regrets Dilya had in her past life, Ulan finished his reminiscence..

and opened my mouth.

“Okay.”

“……what?”

“Even if it fails, it doesn't matter.”

“why……?”

“Regardless of whether magic succeeds or not, the fact of winning this battle doesn't change..”

it just takes a little more time.

Ulan blew off the head of the monster that attacked repeatedly, then spoke calmly..

“so try it.”

“…….”

“So that you can use it without hesitation when you need to use meteor shower someday..”

Then you'll be able to relieve even a little of the regrets you've kept in your past life..

Right after I've finished all I wanted to say.

Uhlan again focused on fighting.

Meanwhile around that time.

Dillia looked at Ulan's back with trembling eyes. She then clenched her fists tightly..

‘ulan is right.’

she did not challenge the unknown.

If I had to add a reason, it was because of the expectations around me and the burden of failure..

The expectation that a genius magician in the principality would of course succeed. And the burden of this was pressing hard on his shoulders..

‘however…….’

Ulan was the first to say that it was okay to fail. The moment I heard this, the burden that had weighed down my body melted away like snow..

lighter shoulders.

Dillia smiled lightly..

For some reason, I felt like it would be possible now. After a while, she opened her mouth with a face full of her determination..

“……need some time.”

“I will earn as much as I can.”

“i'll help you too!”

Ulan and Noah answered at the same time.

As if I was waiting for that word. Afterwards, Noah spread the amulet around Dillia..

“What's this?”

“It's true.”

with a short answer.

A detailed explanation followed.

“It's a technique that blocks the surrounding sounds and the flow of mana. To put it simply, you can see it as a technique that assists you to focus exclusively on magic..”

I don't know the exact effect, but I definitely felt the will to help myself. Dillia silently nodded her head..

“woo woo.”

Begin by inhaling and exhaling.

Dillia focused..

After mentally calculating the calculations necessary to complete the formula in my head, I prepared the magic step by step..

and meanwhile.

Noah, who had completed the teaching, looked at the gap in the abyss that could be seen far away..

‘When are you planning to come out??’

monsters with no intention of diminishing.

Watching them crowd like a swarm of ants, it gave me goosebumps..

just wasn't worried.

Ulan was still active, and Corcus, one of the worries, was easily dealt with..

‘Hopefully the monarch won't come out?’

Then, an ominous imagination suddenly came to my mind.

Noah shook his head hurriedly. It was to shake off the sudden anxiety.

then.

The spirit of the monsters suddenly changed..

[r r r r r r r r r!]

At the same time, all the monsters glared at me..

To be precise, the gaze was fixed on Dillia..

It is probably because the meteor shower technique was created and it sensed an enormous magical response..

Soon after, they rushed at Dillia with terrifying intent to kill..

But they forgot one thing.

Aaaaaaaang!

That now, Ulan is in front of Dillia..

With an ax in each hand, he tore and smashed the monster with a merciless assault..

Did he realize that he could not achieve his goal as long as Uhlans were there? The monsters screamed as if trying to break Dillia's concentration..

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!]

[Kihyaaaaa!]

It was a terrible voice indeed..

It was like the sound of scraping an iron plate with a blade. Besides, that wasn't the only reason for the horror..

“Ugh! ears, ears…….”

Their voices are made of magic.

Is that why? Even the simple act of shouting came like magic.

The pain of piercing the ear with an awl.

Noah frowned and took a step closer to Dillia. It was to receive the effect of the jinbeop that blocks the sound together..

This choice was a godsend.

“However much! wow―!”

A cry that reverberates through the battlefield.

In response to the warrior's shout to counter the threat of the monsters, an intense shockwave arose..

quagga gaga gaga!

A shout imbued with the master's spirit.

The resulting shock wave was strong enough to tear the bodies of the demons to shreds. However, Ulan seemed not satisfied and shouted with all his might..

“Not even one! I won't send―!”

The monsters nearby could not withstand the shock wave and exploded. Its power is so great that even a large, higher species, Corcus, stumbles..

Noah was sincerely relieved..

‘You did a good job laying the groundwork..’

My eardrums almost blew off, like at the entrance ceremony. Also, if it wasn't for Jinbeop, Dillia's magic would have been cut off midway..

When I was relieved and stroked my heart.

flash!

Spells engraved in the air shone.

means the magic is done.

Along with that, a tremendous amount of mana was absorbed as if being sucked into a spell. Then Ulan looked back at her and shouted something..

‘Noah! the guys run away.’

After figuring out the general meaning by the shape of the mouth,.

Soon, Noah saw monsters scattering in all directions. It must be spreading to prepare for the meteor shower that fell soon..

“can't let it go.”

This situation was expected.

So I prepared it. Noah took out all the amulets from his pockets and threw them towards the battlefield..

baba babat!

A talisman that disperses after the spreading monsters.

Soon after, Noah's sorcery was manifested..

‘chain of species.’

6It is a high rank magic, and it is a magic method that makes monsters belonging to the same type weave chains and pull them to one place..

For reference, in the original work, it was famous enough to be called the value of existence as well as a skill to feed the shaman class..

‘It is an essential skill for hunting..’

Especially when the door to the abyss opens, it is a skill that shows its true value..

Because according to the setting of the original work, all monsters in the abyss belong to the type of 'Abyss'..

charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! clap!

Chains composed of magical power wrapped around all the monsters on the battlefield. Then they began pulling in unison toward the center..

‘Though Corcus could not be captured…….’

Except for him, no other monster escaped from the chain of species. By the time the monsters got stuck.

“―――.”

Dillia pursed her lips..

At the same time, the sky was covered with starlight..

It was noon soon, but the brilliant starlight obscured even the sun. And, following Dillia's fingertips, all at once poured onto the ground..

Whoo! coo coo coo!

A flash that splits the sky and tears the clouds.

Countless star fragments were engulfed in flames and headed for the battlefield. The monsters struggled to free themselves from their chains, but it was futile..

Eventually, the moment the first star reached.

The one-sided slaughter has begun.

Kwaaang! Bang bang! Quaang!

Fragments of stars that are thrown down without mercy.

Meteors pouring down like rain swept across the battlefield with the momentum to destroy the world..

“Long time no see.”

The sight of them refreshingly devastating the battlefield is a wonderful sight to see at any time. Ulan grinned..

some time after that.

The battlefield was filled with a cloud of dust.

Afterwards, the wind blew it away, and soon the ghastly landscape was exposed..

there was none.

The monsters had already turned to dust and scattered, and even Corcus, which was said to have strong magic resistance, turned into a rag and died..

Destroy over a thousand enemies.

Noah swallowed dry saliva..

‘this is it…….’

Star Witch, Dillia Arpen.

The archmage who rises to the top of the continent in the future.

As if I had caught a glimpse of a piece of a great warrior, I involuntarily trembled..

“haha!”

On the other hand, the main character who created this overwhelming scene repeated his breathing as if he would run out of breath at any moment..

Magic power that has reached the point of depletion.

It must have been painful, but Dillia's mouth was filled with a bright smile..

“I, really, made it.”

It was a proud smile.

As if they were thrilled with their achievements. Dillia looked at her uhlan with her still bright face..

“All thanks to Ulan.”

“okay. Good job.”

Ulan smiled softly as well..

With this, if the day comes to use a meteor shower someday, I will use magic without delay..

Then you'll regret less than you did in your past life.

After thinking, Ulan patted Dillia on the shoulder and turned around. To make sure the dying monsters stop breathing.

“leave the rest to me.”

“……huh. please.”

Finally, a weak answer.

Dillia collapsed as it were..

Fortunately, thanks to the support of Noah, who was by his side, he was spared from collapsing to the floor..

After carefully laying her down.

Noah shouted bravely..

“Ulan! don't worry dilia.”

“i get it. please.”

“yes I will be guarding... … uh?”

Noah, who continued talking, let out a blank exclamation..

with a very surprised expression. Upon discovering this, Ulan asked with a puzzled face..

“what's going on?”

“Hey, the magic doesn't move!”

“what?”

Noah screaming.

Not only that.

Apart from the fact that the mana within the body simply did not move, all the flow of mana that existed in the surrounding area stopped at once..

as if frozen.

‘wait, it's frozen?’

Noah's eyes widened..

It was something that suddenly came to mind. Regarding enemies with these abilities.

Among them, as far as Noah knows, there is only one entity that can freeze the flow of magic in this range..

“stand, no way……!”

The trembling eyes turned to the gap in the abyss.

Then at that moment.

The gap widened even more.

quadruple!

A gap twice as large as when it first appeared. But the real change is now.

Kwajik! oh oh oh billion!

The air was ripped open with a loud noise..

At the same time, nine pupils flashed from beyond the much larger gap..

eyes of different colors.

The moment I face this.

“……!”

I was seized with an indescribable fear.

Didn't even scream.

As if I can't tolerate being immersed in any thoughts, my head is dyed white.

After a while, the owner of the eyes appeared..

nine eyes.

two pairs of wings.

Menacing horns and claws. Pure white scales that sprouted firmly. An intimidating presence that makes the large upper species, Corcus, feel cute.

Looking at the despair that appeared from beyond the abyss.

His presence was imprinted in my mind..

『Lord of the Abyss』

One of the six lords who rule the abyss.

the moment you realize that.

An overwhelming sense of intimidation oppressed me..

tight breathing. It feels like someone else has violently grabbed your lungs..

pounding! pounding!

heart beating like it's about to explode.

Fear and despair, which he thought had disappeared, ran over Noah's body..

Dillia's reaction was no different from hers..

The despair-stained complexion was the proof.

‘no matter how much…….’

It would be impossible to win against him..

To win unscathed against the Lord of the Abyss, you must have all seven warriors..

So Ulan's face must have hardened by now. It's like facing an opponent with no chance of winning..

But the moment I looked at Ulan.

“……?!”

Noah couldn't help but open his eyes..

His complexion was not hardened at all. He just twists the corner of his mouth and smiles.

‘ooh i'm laughing?’

Like he said, Ulan was laughing.

At the same time, my heart was beating violently..

Intense uplift that blooms with excitement.

From the moment he found it, Ulan couldn't stop laughing with joy..

‘that guy…….’

A monster that freezes mana.

It's every wizard's nightmare.

A monarch who could not be subjugated in a previous life.

That's why Ulan uttered his name loudly with a bloody face..

“frost dragon―!”

Feelings of joy spreading across the face.

Uhlan smiled at the chance of revenge given once again. Since entering his academy, it was the most warlike smile he had ever worn..
