Chapter 70. It’s different from back then. (4)
6.
A fierce battle continues.
As Ulan and Largtan were exchanging frantic attacks against each other, the giants looked for an opportunity to attack Ulan.
It was just a futile thing to do.
In the first place, there was no way that Ulan could have been attacked by that level of surprise, and above all, Ulan currently had a strong ally behind him.
[Kaaaaaaaa!]
The roar of the white wolf that resonates throughout the battlefield.
Because of his presence, the giants could not easily target Ulan. Thanks to this, Ulan was able to fully focus on the battle with Largtan.
After a fierce battle.
The two widened the gap between them again to take a deep breath. After catching his breath, he was about to focus his mind to fight again.
【Tsk, I never thought I would have so much free time to think about other things while fighting with my luggage.】
Suddenly Largtan spoke up.
An uncomfortable face. He twitched his loudly opened eyeballs and growled lowly.
【I could feel some idle thoughts from your attack. Did you think Jim wouldn’t know?】
Ulan, on the other hand, did not respond.
Because what he said was true. Largtan twitched his lips as he looked at Ulan like that.
【It would be better to focus more on combat. If you want to save your comrades who fled to the surface due to Jim’s curse.】
A word thrown to provoke him.
But Ulan did not succumb to provocation.
Because there was a corner of me that believed.
It was Noah who was right here somewhere.
If the runaway companions could join Noah, even the curse could definitely be lifted.
Therefore, Ulan remained unfazed and only tried to fulfill the mission given to him.
‘In order to do that… … .’
I needed to recall memories of my past life.
Although they met their end together, he clearly won a clear victory over Largtan.
A time when I continued to reminisce in silence.
Soon, Ulan remembered the biggest reason for his victory at the time.
‘Berserker.’
Ulan’s unique characteristic that appears when he loses his temper and his entire body is covered with fighting spirit and fighting spirit.
When you turn into a berserker, you lose your sanity but gain extreme physical abilities and senses.
Transforming into a monster that cannot even feel pain and moves to destroy all enemies around it. That was the berserker.
‘Thanks to that, I was able to defeat him.’
However, in the process, Ulan also shed a lot of blood and met his end together.
Still, it would be different now. Because Ulan is clearly stronger now than in his past life.
Especially since I drank the elixir, if I turn into a berserker now, the battle will be much easier.
‘But I can’t do that this time.’
You must not turn into a berserker.
The reason Ulan thought that way was because the reason for fighting was different from in his past life.
The reason he remained alone in the Giant’s Cave at the time to block Largtan was to buy time for his comrades to escape safely.
‘Whereas now… … .’
Like in the past life, it was to buy time for his comrades to escape, but it was also to win against Largtan.
To distinguish between winners and losers who were unable to decide in their past lives, and to confidently achieve victory. That’s why he’s here now.
‘And Largtan isn’t the only enemy.’
We must find and kill Lacus, the Eye of the Abyss who is collaborating with Count Dermore, and we must also subdue the source of the Abyss, the culprit of all sins.
Even if it meant death, the goal was to definitely thwart the threat of the abyss.
‘So you must win without dying.’
After organizing all my thoughts.
Ulan’s eyes sank coldly.
However, winning against Largtan without turning into a berserker was not an easy task, even if you think about it briefly.
‘Think.’
After entering the academy.
Ulan learned one thing.
If you think about the problem in front of you and think about it again and again, you will definitely find the answer someday.
‘So I have to keep thinking about it.’
Largtan said this was just a random thought, but Ulan didn’t think so.
This is the only way to find a path to victory. That’s why I continued to worry even during the fierce battle.
But at that moment.
An incident occurred that shattered my thoughts.
“… … !?”
Suddenly, Ulan opened his eyes wide.
This is because during the battle with Largtan, I suddenly felt intense pain near my waist.
Ulan instinctively flinched and left the battlefield as soon as he caught his breath. And she soon checked her wounds.
‘This… … .’
Traces of cuts from sharp blades.
It was a sword wound.
Of course, it’s not strange. This was a battlefield, and injuries were common. There was another part that Ulan felt puzzled about.

‘I didn’t feel any presence at all.’
Currently, this place is within the territory of Ulan.
Although it partially overlapped with Largtan’s territory, there was no way he wouldn’t have noticed the attack coming from here.
The moment I felt doubtful about this.
【You, ■■―!】
Largtan, who had stopped attacking, looked into the empty sky and let out a loud scream. With words whose meanings are unintelligible.
Next, he growled lowly with a distorted face as if expressing strong anger.
【Don’t get involved in Jim’s fight!】
Where the angry eyes are directed.
Immediately after Largtan’s roar stopped, something even darker than the darkness suddenly emerged from a place where there was only darkness.
【I refuse. There is no reason for that.】
Countless voices echoing throughout the hall.
The moment Ulan heard this, his eyes widened.
Because it’s a voice I remember.
‘The source of the abyss!’
A monster encountered beyond the abyss in the past.
The true enemy mentioned by Kazan Rudrik.
This guy who only exists in the abyss somehow appeared here. And the moment I saw him, I realized something new.
‘Then the thing that attacked me earlier… … .’
Guessing it might be that one.
As Ulan narrowed his eyes at this, countless palms suddenly popped out from the floor. Afterwards, the hands started doing something unexpected.
【The reason I lent you my strength in the first place was】
【To destroy all the stars.】
【This is also not a violation of the contract.】
The point was that it surrounded Largtan, not Ulan. At this sight, Largtan wrinkled his face as if he realized something for a moment.
【■■, no way, to Jim—!】
Largtan tried to blurt out the realization that had just occurred to him, but he couldn’t. Because the source of the abyss attacked him first.
Quad Deuk! Wow! Whoops!
A strange sound was heard as countless hands wrapped around Largtan. After a while, when the inexplicable action ended, the numerous hands disappeared like smoke.
【It was a contract that assumed this from the beginning.】
Some time after that.
With a voice that sounded like a whisper, many palms disappeared all at once. Largtan’s condition afterward was somewhat strange.
Black smoke covered his entire body, and his eyes were blurry as if they had lost focus. However, she seemed somewhat familiar to Ulan.
‘It’s similar to back then.’
A member of the giant that we faced at Kazan Ludrik’s tomb not long ago. It was the same as when Assault Leader Albaric was imbued with the magic of the abyss.
Immediately after realizing this.
Ulan asked with narrowed eyes.
“Did you eat Largtan?”
As Ulan’s question ended, Largtan’s eyes slowly moved. Soon, various mixed voices came from his mouth.
【I’m just borrowing your body for a while.】
【There was hardly an end in sight.】
【We have no choice but to settle the matter instead.】
After finishing the short answer.
Suddenly Largtan disappeared from sight.
“… … !”
No, it hasn’t disappeared.
They rushed towards Ulan at a much faster speed than before. Ulan, who recognized this, hurriedly crossed his axes to block his rush.
Kwak-ga-ga-ga-gak! Kwaaaaang!
They collided with each other for a moment, and Ulan, who was blocking Largtan’s attack, was thrown back, feeling a force he had never felt before.
【Accept fate, part of the extraordinary events.】
A brutal offensive began soon after.
With strength and speed that were on a completely different level than before, Ulan was only focused on blocking the attack. At that time when we were fighting so hard.
Suddenly, Ulan’s appearance disappeared.
In order to prevent them from being put on the defensive like this, they activated the transcendent realm and escaped the battlefield.
“Whoop! “Whoa!”
After calming down for a moment.
Ulan stared intently at Largtan, who was preparing to charge again.
It’s definitely different from before.
In fact, even Albaric, a member of the clan, was incredibly strong when he was in that state, so Largtan, the Lord of the Abyss, would naturally be incredibly strong.
‘If things continue like this, we will lose.’
My arm starts throbbing just from receiving an attack. Moreover, the only way to block attacks was in the general area, not the transcendental area.
However, if you overuse the transcendental realm, your body will not remain. Ulan, caught in a dilemma, bit his lip gently.
‘… … ‘I can’t help it.’
If you can’t win like this, there is only one way.
All you have to do is leave everything to your will and become a berserker. And since the sooner the decision was made, the better, Ulan’s eyes soon became colored with determination.
But at that moment.
Suddenly, a voice crossed my mind.
“Don’t just think about fighting alone.”
A word that Noah once whispered.
Just before heading to the desert, she, who knew everything about Ulan’s past life, said these words to him as if asking for advice.
“Unlike my past life, I am by Ulan’s side. So, if the time comes for you to prepare for the end, please think of me before you move.”
Is it a coincidence or was it intentional?
Immediately after preparing for the end, Ulan recalled what he had heard from Noah. The determination that had dominated his body just moments ago was quickly disappearing along with him.
‘Okay, let’s hold on just a little longer.’
Because I decided to trust Noah.
Even if it means using the Transcendence Realm one after another. If you end up overloaded because of that, you can just choose to become a berserker.
That was around the time Ulan changed his mind.
【I don’t understand.】
The source of the abyss that had taken over Largtan’s body suddenly spoke to Ulan.
【If you leave everything to the battle like you did in the last episode, you might be able to win, but why don’t you do that this time?】
He mentioned the time when Ulan met his end with Largtan. Faced with these questions, Ulan responded calmly.
“Because the purpose has changed.”
At that time, he had a reason to sacrifice his life to stop Largtan. So he willingly chose to become a berserker and achieved his goal.
But there is no need for that now.
Although he is not here, he has reliable colleagues. That’s why Ulan pointed his ax at Lar Gtan and grinned.
“Above all, you, other than Largtan, are not that much of a threat to me.”
A provocative word.
This is half right and half wrong. Largtan, swallowed by the source of the abyss, was of course a threat, but only in terms of strength and speed.
In terms of combat experience and water fighting, Largtan was originally superior. Meanwhile, at Ulan’s provocation, the guy frowned slightly.
【You’re bluffing.】
【You were not allowed to win.】
A subdued answer, as if he was uncomfortable.
Ulan chuckled and responded.
“We’ll have to wait and see.”
Did that attitude seem arrogant?
The opponent’s momentum suddenly became fierce.
【If you refuse to follow fate】
【I will force you to comply!】
A loud roar is the signal.
Ulan and Largtan clashed again.
