7.
Meanwhile, at that time.
The battle that took place in Schulfern was coming to an end due to the intervention of Laurea and the Holy Knights.
Let’s go! Sigh!
The train carrying the Ulan group tried to slow down. This was because a group of undead were seen coming from the engine room onto the tracks.
However, there was no need to worry.
[alarm]
*Shortcut skill #25, activated
*Advanced Spell: 【Spirit Barrier】
―Using the magical spirit contained in the amulet, a barrier is created that isolates a specific area.
This was because Noah’s preemptive attack, which spread amulets in all directions, caused the undead group on the track to fly out all at once.
She then dropped all enemies that might have climbed onto the tracks down the gorge, allowing the train to come to a safe stop.
“Next, it’s my turn.”
A girl wearing purple magic armor.
Delia Arpen raised her magic power. Perhaps because it was closer to evening, the star’s magic showed a stronger response than usual.
Some time after that.
Delia used the highest level star cluster magic against the enemies that Noah had neatly gathered into a barrier.
『Extreme New Star』
7-star strategic magic.
It is an attack magic that strongly concentrates the magic power of stars and explodes it all at once, devastating the battlefield.
Unlike the meteor shower, which deals extensive damage over a wide area, it was also a magic that inflicted greater damage over a certain range.
Meanwhile, the extreme nova that caused the explosion of light soon subsided and created a strong gust of wind.
The power to tear even rocks apart. There was not a single surviving demon beast to be found within it.
Of course, the Immortal Army was an exception.
“As expected, you are a difficult opponent.”
Delia frowned.
He also tilted his head as if he was puzzled.
No matter how strong his resistance to magic was, he felt doubtful about the fact that a single undead soldier could withstand a 7-star star cluster magic.
‘Well, it’s worth it.’
If the opponent were the undead that appeared in the southern desert, they would not have been able to withstand even the 5-star star cluster magic and would have been reduced to dust.
But this time was different.
That is an army created by the Lord of the Undead using the magic power of the abyss. Because it is a monster so powerful that it is on a different level from ordinary undead.
‘But there’s nothing to worry about.’
No matter how different a monster was, it couldn’t be sane in the face of divine power and elemental magic.
And just then, someone with a spirit wrapped around his entire body left the train. A large sorcerer armored with a large ax in each hand.
He was a barbarian warrior, Ulan.
“I will go first.”
After leaving a short message.
Ulan immediately jumped down the ravine.
As I went down through the pitch-black darkness to the bottom, I saw a battlefield full of undead.
[Geuaaah! Wow!]
[Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!]
Corpses crying with strange voices.
Ulan looked around the battlefield with indifferent eyes. He wanted to understand the scale of the enemy.
‘First of all, it’s over a hundred.’
There was no need to count further than that.
I was planning on tearing it apart anyway. After making his decision, he adjusted his axe and swung it violently.
In front of Ulan, who was rampaging like an angry lion, the undead were like mere fallen leaves. This is because it crumbled to pieces without even being able to resist.
There was no need to use the area.
‘A little faster.’
One more thing here.
Ulan used a fighting method that he often used when dealing with undead in his past life.
The method was to cross each ax and grab it, then enter the enemy camp and quickly rotate the body to grind down all the enemies.
“huh? what? Why are you spinning round and round?』
『Suddenly you want to dance?』
『Ahaha! It’s dizzy but fun!』
Hearing the spirits’ laughter, Ulan spun around like crazy with his ax outstretched.
And the result.
Wow! puck! Kwasik!
The undead were literally torn apart.
The undead were quickly reduced to dust without even having time to approach Ulan’s body. Meanwhile, there was someone who followed him late.
“Ulan! I want to help too… … .”
It was Ibella wearing light magic armor.
She ran to support Ulan, holding on to a specially crafted rapier.
But it soon stopped in place.
This was because the canyon that was thought to be full of undead was found to be empty.
“uh? Okay, are you done?”

“okay. “I just finished everything.”
Ulan replied, brushing off the rotten flesh and bone dust from the axe. She then patted the shoulder of Bella, who was standing blankly, and said,
“Let’s go back.”
“Yes. okay.”
She smiled awkwardly and turned around.
However, there was no need to return to the train. This was because, taking advantage of the Ulan fighting, the train had already crossed into the ravine on the other side.
After joining the group, Ulan described the sights down the canyon that he had personally seen and experienced. Then he added his own opinion.
“It was different from what I saw in the crystal sphere.”
The size of the undead was smaller than expected.
Of course, we stopped counting them after 100, but compared to the thousands we saw in the crystal sphere, the number was still significantly smaller.
Delia also nodded at this.
“Yes, the number is too small.”
Just before arriving at the canyon, she used her star eyes to see the size of the enemy in advance. She and she said even back then she was outnumbered.
Why did the enemy scale decrease?
As I was thinking about the reason, Perticia, who was talking to the spirits, opened her eyes wide.
“oh! “There are traces over there!”
Beyond the canyon, a small forest on the way to the northern border. There, numerous footprints were seen chaotically engraved.
All the footprints were largely divided into two directions, and Noah, seeing them, quickly figured out where they were.
“It’s the Principality of Arpen and the Kingdom of Cerne.”
Footprints divided into east and west respectively.
According to the map, if you move along this road, the border between the two kingdoms appears.
Meanwhile, at Noah’s guess, the complexions of the group, including Professor Melt, visibly hardened.
“It’s not just Endrak… … .”
“Are you planning to attack other places as well?”
It would be reasonable to think so.
When everyone had serious expressions, Ulan looked at Delia. This is because the Duchy of Arpen was her homeland where she was born and raised.
Did he notice Ulan’s gaze?
Delia answered, shaking her head.
“You don’t have to worry about the principality.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“huh. Because Arpen’s rangers are strong.”
Eyes shining with strong confidence.
It meant that he trusted the rangers that much.
And one more thing. There was a reason to show such confidence. The point was that Arpen’s rangers were accustomed to fighting against the undead.
“Undead often come over from the desert.”
The Principality of Arpen is a country that shares part of its border with the southern desert, like the Leuven Empire.
So he even had silver-plated arrows, swords, and holy water. This meant that they were prepared for battle with the undead.
“Then what remains is the Seren Kingdom.”
“Probably, if you keep moving in this direction, you will reach the border town of Schulfern.”
Schulpern. At those words, Ulan and Noah’s eyes lit up. This is because it is where one of the heroes, the demon hunter Sven Isaac, is located.
“We need to move quickly.”
“yes? “You’re going to Sern?”
“exactly.”
Although it is Schulpern to be exact.
Ulan nodded. On the other hand, Professor Melt and engineers reacted skeptically.
“Is there any reason to go?”
“you’re right. “Anyway, you blocked all the enemies heading towards the flute, right?”
“There is no need to take risks… … .”
“No, I have to go.”
At that time, Noah strengthened his voice.
Of course, it was a decision to save Sven, but even without this, there was definitely a reason to chase after the demon beasts and undead.
“If Schulfern falls, the place closest to it will be the enemy’s target next.”
The closest place to Schulfern in terms of distance.
It was Flute, the border city of the Kingdom of Endrak. Engineers also recognized this fact, but were still skeptical.
“Okay, is that really true?”
“If you go a little further south, you will reach Murkaga, but there is no guarantee that you will turn around and head this way… … .”
“They are not human.”
This time, Ulan stepped forward.
He said, recalling memories of his past life.
“The undead do not attack while distinguishing between kingdoms. “It just follows its instinct and attacks the closest living creature.”
“Yes, just as Ulan said.”
“If Schulpern falls again, the number of enemies will be much greater than now.”
Delia and Ibella also added their opinions.
After repeated discussions, it was Professor Melt and the engineers who ultimately raised the white flag.
“Yes, I know what you mean.”
“I also understood the reason for eliminating the remnants.”
“But in order to move to Schulfern, the fundamental problems have to be solved.”
“What is the problem?”
“There are no tracks.”
Schulfern is a city in the Kingdom of Cerne.
There was no way the track could have been installed in a place other than the territory of the Kingdom of Endrak. So, when I tried to explain that it was realistically impossible.
Delia raised her hand.
“Then, if you make it from now on, you can do it, right?”
“I beg your pardon? From now on?”
“I’m saying that because I don’t know anything. “It takes a lot of time to build a track.”
Rather than building a track to move, it would be much faster to walk from here to Schulfern.
The engineers each burst into laughter.
Delia, on the other hand, did not laugh.
“I was talking about horsepower and tracks.”
“yes? If it’s a horsepower line… … .”
“The professor said so. “If you arbitrarily place a magic track, you can move a train even in places where there are no tracks.”
When I was touring the flume workshop.
He definitely said something like that. It was theoretically possible.
But this time too there was a problem.
“Of course, like you said, there is a way to arbitrarily place magical power lines, but… … .”
“The horsepower consumption is enormous.”
“I’m sure it won’t last.”
It takes a considerable amount of time to get to Schulpern from here. In other words, you have to keep creating a magic power line until you get there, which would require a ridiculous amount of magic power.
“You don’t have to worry about magical power.”
“What do you mean?”
“If I supplement, it’s okay.”
After answering, she touched the train’s power source and something surprising happened.
The magical power that was on the verge of running out was replenished in the blink of an eye. The engineers who figured out the identity of the horsepower were surprised.
“Rice, the magic power of stars… … !”
“yes. “I use the magical power of the stars.”
As long as there are stars in the night sky.
As long as she can receive starlight, Delia’s magical power will never be depleted. This is why she was called ‘the witch of her star’.
Horsepower problem solved in an instant. On the other hand, Professor Melt’s face was still dark.
“But there are still problems.”
“Tell me.”
“First of all, the ground must be flat to lay a track. But the terrain in this area is rough. So there is a risk of the train derailing… … .”
Professor Melt cited the problem of rough terrain.
As he continued to explain why the mess of the terrain was a problem, he was momentarily speechless.
Coo coo coo coo! Quad Deuk!
The uneven ground moved on its own, and all of the ground became flat in an instant. Even the holes were filled.
When I was blankly looking at this scene.
“This problem is also solved.”
Perticia smiled brightly.
It seems that he asked the earth spirit to make the ground level.
Ulan grinned silently, and Professor Melt, who did not know the whole story, asked back with a surprised face.
“Uh, what did you do?!”
“Uhm, it’s a secret.”
Perticia gave a vague answer.
With the terrain issue neatly resolved, there is only one problem left. This is what creates a magic power line.
“Horsepower lines have complex configurations.”
“Although we have the necessary horsepower, we alone do not have the power to create a track that matches the train’s moving speed.”
This means that Delia and Noah, who can use magical power, also have to build tracks.
And to make them understand, even two days and nights would not be enough time to explain it. So the engineers were at a loss.
But the two girls’ reaction was calm.
“Oh, if that’s the case, it’s okay.”
“I already understood how to make it.”
“… … yes?”
Engineers blinking their eyes blankly.
With their eyes filled with distrust, Delia and Noah created a magic track in the blink of an eye.
Not only was it faster, but it also seemed more solid and sturdy than what engineers had created.
“… … !?”
“What is this… … !”
“What on earth did you do?!”
The answer is simple. This is because Delia and Noah are ‘those who are loved by Mana.’
The ability to observe the flow of magical power with the eyes.
So, I was able to naturally understand and implement the structure and operation of the horsepower line.
“If the problem is solved, let’s go.”
Leaving behind the engineers with shocked faces, Ulan and his group boarded the train.
Where the immortal army headed.
It was to move to Schulfern, the border city of the Kingdom of Cerne, where Sven is located.
