The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 90
(3)
5.
Near the north gate of Arsene Academy.
There was a wagon parked on the forest road. Workers busily moved the goods to the wagons, and the work was over before long..
“Has confirmed. that's perfect.”
After carefully checking the luggage on the wagon,.
The middle-aged man grinned..
Then, he respectfully bowed his head towards the gray-haired girl in front of him..
“Thank you for your hard work, Miss Sirpy..”
The man's true identity is Alrond.
The butler who manages the mansion of the Earl of Dermore, and the Count's faithful confidant..
And today, he was also the person in charge of transporting the Phosphate Stones and Deep Water collected from the Magic Fountain to the mansion..
“Oh, just in case, I'm sure you haven't noticed that you use witchcraft.?”
“Yes, I acted differently..”
“haha, well done.”
Alrond smiled again in satisfaction at Sirfi's answer..
“The Master will be in trouble if the Shirpy lady's origins are revealed. Then we can't protect you either..”
“…….”
Shirpy kept his mouth shut..
a fact you already know.
Her place of origin is the Southern Desert. Among them, it is the Desert Church that is currently hostile to the Empire..
If his origin and identity were revealed, it was clear that Count Dermore would abandon Syrpy without hesitation..
‘Maybe even if it was me.’
I heard that colluding with the Desert Church is the second most serious sin after treason. So Syrpie thoroughly hid his identity..
“This is a tribute from the owner.”
Then Alrond held out something..
pure white envelope. Accepting this, he bowed politely again..
“We will contact you again by letter later. Until the day we meet again, please stay healthy.”
Last respectful greetings.
Alrond climbed into the carriage and quickly disappeared over the forest. Syrupy, who was left alone, sat down with a sigh..
“haaa.”
It was because of the relaxation.
With another sigh of relief, she opened the envelope from Alrond..
Inside are five gold coins..
That's too much money for a student..
‘But the more money the better.’
Rudrick's family, now that he has failed in his original purpose of taming the white wolf hiding in the mist, Syrupi's future is quite uncertain..
So, I was thinking of getting as much money as possible. To prepare for an uncertain future.
‘oh, that's right.’
Speaking of money, I suddenly thought of something..
Prior to coming here, the highest quality magic stone found in the 3rd area of the spring of magic.
At the time, I thought it was only an object that Professor Direk had installed for research..
‘But if you think about it now…….’
It was most likely not Professor Direk's item..
Because I heard that he, too, cooperates with Count Dermore due to lack of research funds..
‘However, he said he had not one, but six of the highest quality mana stones.?’
common sense makes no sense.
Six of the finest magic stones would be enough to buy a three-story mansion in the downtown area of the Imperial Capital..
In other words, the owner of the magic stone is not Direk..
right after thinking about it.
She licked her lips regretfully..
‘If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn't have told you.’
Then I might be able to intercept it.
Shirpy let out a heavy sigh..
But the water has already been spilled. That's why she brushed off her thoughts, leaving only lingering feelings..
‘it's okay. Whatever it is, it's over.’
Let's go back to the dorm.
It's because the tension came and fatigue came..
When I silently turned my body toward the dormitory.
creepy!
Goosebumps all over my body in an instant.
A feeling of suffocation with a visceral fear. Furthermore, I felt uneasy..
The moment we encounter a sudden change.
Shirpy hurriedly turned his head..
Towards a place where I feel uncomfortable. Then I opened my eyes wide.
“……!”
Her gaze is heading south.
The direction of the spring of magical power where I stayed until now. Syrupy murmured with wide-open eyes..
“the sky…….”
split exactly in half.
That's only the sky near the fountain of magic.
Then she instinctively felt.
that something terrible has happened.
6.
Frost Demon Dragon).
One of the six lords of the abyss, a monster that completely stops the flow of magical energy by freezing the surrounding magical energy just by existing.
Stopping the flow of magical power means that the magic will not be activated. So, in the original work, the Frost Demon Dragon was called the natural enemy of wizards..
But that wasn't the point.
‘just what……?’
Noah's eyes shake violently.
She looked at Ulan with wide open eyes. It was momentary, but it was definitely there.
What Ulan just shouted.
「frost dragon―!」
With a resounding voice that seemed to shake the battlefield.
Ulan must have shouted that.
At the same time, Noah woke up..
I was so surprised that even the fear that surged with the appearance of the Frost Dragon disappeared..
That's right.
Until the door to the abyss opens in the future.
For people, 'the abyss' is just a legend. All I can think of is Abyss Worshipers.
‘however…….’
How the hell do you know the frost dragon??
I just don't know at this point?
A maddening question. Noah's mind quickly became confused. At the same time, her eyes looking at Ulan became confused..
Meanwhile around that time.
Ulan frowned..
It was good until the frost demon dragon appeared, but it was because I felt a sense of incongruity when I looked closely..
‘why so small?’
The frost demon dragon I encountered in my last life was truly enormous. It's like a giant mountain is moving..
On the other hand, it wasn't that big now..
To put it bluntly, it is similar in size to the auditorium building we saw at the entrance ceremony..
Can't compare to the mountains.
‘Oh, I see…….’
There was information that suddenly came to mind.
Some information I learned while battling the Frost Dragon in my past life..
Among them, there was a reason why his body grew bigger and bigger every time he met. Ulan, who recalled this, nodded his head as if he finally understood..
‘Right. Is it before you escape??’
The Frost Demon Dragon is characterized by growing in size and strengthening its strength as it repeatedly sheds..
In fact, when he was at a slight disadvantage during the battle, he fled into the abyss and came back stronger through shedding..
‘So in the end I couldn't subdue.’
The Frost Demon Dragon, which has shed countless times, has become so strong that it can't be helped. That's why he couldn't be treated in his past life..
‘But this time it's different.’
The Frost Demon Dragon just came into the world.
That means it hasn't escaped even once..
It sounded like a voice saying that I wasn't as strong as I struggled in my past life..
The moment I remembered this far.
I finally realized what I had to do.
‘today, here.’
by all means must!
With determination engraved in bright red eyes.
kicked the ground without hesitation.
In order to fulfill the mission of the warrior, which was not accomplished in the previous life.
But then an intruder appeared..
Whoo! whoops!
The sound of flapping wings through the air.
Dozens of monsters appeared from beyond the gap in the abyss with the sound of strong wind. Monsters that look like miniature frost dragons.
‘flying dragon).’
Literally a flying dragon.
He is a member of the Frost Demon Dragon and is slightly smaller than the Corcus he faced earlier..
The power itself is similar to the higher species, but they were somewhat difficult to deal with..
‘Because it won't come down from the sky.’
They fly high in the sky, breathing a breath of frost that freezes everything..
Unless it's a dire situation, it never comes down to the ground. So I needed a sniper, Sven or Dillia, to deal with them..
‘but…….’
it is impossible now.
Sven was gone, and Dillia was on the verge of running out of magic. Of course, even if you have magic power left, you won't be able to use magic as long as the Frost Demon Dragon exists..
But at that moment.
Suddenly they descended to the ground.
as if it had a purpose. Seeing this, Ulan quickly realized their goal..
‘Are you aiming for Dillia??’
same as last life.
The Lords of the Abyss were obsessed with Dillia. To be precise, it seemed that the purpose was to obtain the 'one who is loved by mana'..
‘Then this time…….’
Noah will be targeted too.
As soon as the speculation was over, the drake that rushed in first stretched out its claws at Noah..
Of course, the goal could not be achieved.
puck! Quadduk!
Shattered Drake's Head.
It was the result of Ulan, who quickly closed the distance, swinging the axe. That wasn't the only thing that happened. The other drakes also faced a similar fate..
and the result.
The remaining flying dragons soared into the sky again..
Perhaps it was because he felt threatened after seeing what his own people had suffered. Against the sky-high flying dragons, there was nothing Ulan could do..
That was then.
“Joe, be careful. Ulan!”
Noah throws a warning with a pale face.
As if you found something out of the ordinary. Before long, the identity of the warning was revealed..
oh oh oh!
All drakes open their mouths wide.
Soon, a spring of mana spouting cold air welled up, and soon it poured towards Ulan..
‘breath of ice.’
A pesky ability to freeze everything.
In the past life, avoidance was the only solution, but now it is different. So instead of dodging, I drew an ax and swung it..
wooooooooong!
Explosion with collision.
Soon the situation changed drastically.
saaaaa!
As soon as he touched the ax, the breath of ice disappeared so easily that it was futile. Where is that? Even the mana that made up the breath was sucked in..
Ax of Gluttony, Gula.
It was thanks to the ax that ravenously devoured all existing magic power..
[―――!]
Am I taken aback by the sudden sight??
The dragons all shut their mouths..
As if he had no intention of exhaling any more.
Then, hovering in the sky, he looked down at Ulan warily. Ulan was also unable to leave..
‘I can't leave you two alone.’
Now that the use of magic and sorcery has been sealed.
Noah and Dillia aren't great wizards, they're just powerless girls..
So if Ulan leaves, the two will be captured by the drakes in the blink of an eye..
‘If only there were other guys…….’
Colleagues who fought together in past lives.
At least, if only Sven had been there, I would have left this place and went to face the Frost Demon Dragon. Ulan acutely felt the absence of his comrades..
But I didn't have time to think for a long time..
Because the flying dragons rushed to the ground again.
Whoo! whoops!
This time the group split in two..
One group attacked Ulan from all sides, while the other targeted Noah and Dillia..
‘It's a shallow operation..’
Watching the gap get narrower.
Ulan activated Master's Realm once again. The ruthless massacre that began at the same time.
Kwadeuk! Wood deok! puck!
The head exploded and the torso was sliced..
The angry ax did not miss its prey, and gave certain death to the drakes..
But at that moment.
“……!”
Ulan's eyes widened..
It was because I found it belatedly.
out of his reach.
I saw three drakes with their mouths wide open..
A breath of ice soon poured out..
quagga gaga!
Aiming for Noah and Dillia.
Ulan hurriedly retrieved his axe, trying to block his breath. However, he couldn't because the flying dragons blocked his way..
‘no, it's late!’
Breathing ahead by a short distance.
Still, there was a way to stop it..
『transcendent realm』
Warriors' unique skills that transcend time and space.
You can barely block it with this.
Of course, as the enormous spirit is consumed, it puts a considerable strain on the body, but it is still better than losing Noah and Dillia..
So, at the moment of stretching half a step.
For an instant, a fierce flash flashed..
The flash that broke through the realm, along with the breath of ice, cut through even the flying dragon..
squeak!
starting with an eerie sound.
The three dragons were divided into dozens of pieces..
A clean cut, as if cut with a sharp blade. When the dismembered torso rolls on the floor.
I heard a familiar voice.
“I came here because I felt uncomfortable.”
A calm, low-pitched voice.
Soon after, a middle-aged man with blue hair and a bushy beard appeared..
“I think you did well to hurry up.”
One of the Five Masters of the Empire.
Thousand Sword, Theoric Al Gorfant.
Noah's eyes widened at the appearance of reinforcements who were reassuring just by their existence..
“Gye, how is this place?…….”
“I heard that students are isolated in District 2. I came to save you while I was free.…….”
As he continued to answer, he slurred his words..
After narrowing my eyes, I gazed at the frost demon dragon in the distance..
“……Judging by the situation, I guess I'll have to call in Dean Dipplin..”
The moment I found the Frost Demon Dragon.
Theoric had a hunch.
Fighting that monster is inevitable.
A sense of tension that I felt for the first time since I reached the level of a master. When I fixed my sword while feeling my body stiffen.
“I have a favor.”
Suddenly, Ulan spoke up..
Then he said with a serious face.
“run away with the two of you.”
“……what?”
Seoric asked back a beat late..
Of course, I was going to run away even if I didn't tell him to run away. He had no intention of fighting a monster he couldn't even see winning..
However, Ulan's words sounded a little different..
So I asked again to check if I had heard it correctly..
“Are you going to fight that monster??”
“exactly.”
Answer without hesitation.
I was momentarily speechless..
Ulan probably knows. The odds against that monster are slim. That's why Seoric said with concern.
“no matter how you…….”
“That's right, Ulan.!”
Then Noah interrupted.
face turned pale. Holding onto Ulan's forearm, she shouted as if to dissuade her..
“Fighting alone is suicidal!”
“For now, let's step back.”
Dillia also offered to retreat..
For some reason, desperate eyes.
But Ulan shook his head..
“no, it can't be.”
“what, what?”
“Defeat the Frost Demon Dragon here.”
“Ulan!”
I tried again and again, but it was futile..
Meanwhile, Seorik, who had been watching this quietly, spoke up to see what he was thinking..
“If so, please answer me.”
with very serious eyes.
his lips twitched.
“why are you fighting so hard?”
The reason to fight is full and overflowing.
There was also something to accomplish the mission as a warrior that I couldn't fulfill in my previous life..
It was also because I was convinced that the future would be convenient only if I got rid of it before escaping..
‘but…….’
That's probably not the answer Seoric wants to hear..
he wasn't a warrior.
So I silently grabbed the ax.
Soon after aiming his ax at the Frost Dragon, he gave a more substantive answer..
“simple reason.”
Demonic dragon without even a slight movement in the gap of the abyss.
Ulan glared at him and ignited his roaring fighting spirit..
“'Cause there's a monster in front of me.”
No other reason needed. Ulan's eyes seemed to say so..
Theoric looked blank..
Because it was a much simpler answer than I thought..
“That's your answer.”
After bursting out laughing.
he silently nodded.
“Got it. leave the back to me.”
“thank you.”
As soon as the answer he wanted to hear was over, Ulan immediately turned around. He then kicked the ground with a face freed from all hesitation and regret..
dig!
Sprint across the battlefield.
I heard Noah and Dillia shouting something, but I didn't care. The only thing Ulan had in mind was the Frost Demon Dragon..
[―――!]
Meanwhile, right after Ulan leaves.
The flying dragons hovering in the sky rushed towards Noah and Dillia as if they had been waiting for them..
I just didn't have to look back.
The man next to them now is a Master recognized by Ulan and one of the Five Swords of the Empire..
The result was obvious.
Awesome! Quadduk!
Seoric's sword strikes poured like a flash and literally shredded the drakes..
Accompanied by the sound of leather ripping and bones breaking, Ulan rushed forward without hesitation..
‘frost dragon!’
An unfinished battle in a past life.
To seize the opportunity given once again, to put an end to the dreaded battle.
When Ulan's eyes flashed fiercely.
Whoo! quagga gaga gaga!
Suddenly, a strong wind gusted like a gust of wind, and an intense shockwave hit him..
The power to blow away even pebbles.
The moment you hesitated for a moment.
【something like a worm that crawls on the ground.】
I heard a creepy voice.
It's not a knock on your ear, but a voice that goes directly into your head. Nothing else, it was the voice of the Frost Demon Dragon..
【Does a bug without hard scales, sharp claws, or even the ability to fly dare to stand up to Jim??】
A mockery with a clear feeling of ridicule.
However, Ulan did not react..
I just face the wind created by him head-on, and I just move on steadfastly.
【feel the difference mortal.】
It flapped its huge wings again..
This time the cold wind blew like a storm. A cold blow that freezes everything. But even that couldn't stop Ulan..
Awesome! pududeuk!
Breaking the ice that clings to your skin.
I finally narrowed the distance to twenty paces..
“finally reached.”
After moving to the edge of the realm at once, Ulan grabbed the tail of the Frost Demon Dragon at once. Then he twisted the corner of his mouth and smirked..
“I can't escape this time.”
As if you won't let go a second time.
Meanwhile, did you understand this? The frost demon twitched its nine pupils..
【Are you running away? I?】
The Frost Demon Dragon let out a laugh..
as if it's absurd.
Moments later, he let out a terrifyingly menacing murder, and let out an angry roar..
【I don't even know the topic of bugs―!】
The Frost Demon Dragon immediately twisted its body..
I swung the tail that Ulan was holding on to, with the intention of hitting him in the head..
But strangely.
The tail does not move. As if crushed by a huge rock.
【what―.】
So I rolled my eyeballs.
What came into sight after that was the figure of Ulan stepping on his tail with his big paws. And Ulan, too, was staring at the Frost Demon Dragon..
“i said clearly.”
A calm voice followed.
Ulan's eyes flashed eerily..
“that you won't be able to escape.”
As soon as the clear notice is given.
Without hesitation, he swung the ax in both hands..
With all my strength,.
with all one's might.
and the result.
Aaaaaaaang!
A loud noise engulfed the battlefield..
It was the sound of a giant frost dragon flying through the air and crashing into a corner..
