The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 373

Episode 374, Chapter 74. End (7)

11.

Meanwhile, at that time.

At a time when Noah was working with his warriors to find a solution that would lead to victory. Ulan continued to engage in fierce battle with the Source of the Abyss.

Let’s go! Kaang!

A battle involving at least dozens or as many as hundreds of attacks and defenses in a split second. It was already a fight that was beyond human scope.

When the situation was tense without giving even an inch, the abyss suddenly spoke up.

【Anyway, it’s really amazing.】

A guy who moves slowly clockwise while saying something out of nowhere. At the same time, Ulan’s gaze also shifted according to his movements.

【You always meet the same fate─.】

【How on earth did you become a transcendent?】

【Is that stranger the trigger?】

【Or is it the power of this strange piece?】

A strange tone in a gloomy voice.

He thought it was strange that Ulan, who had always faced the same fate over a period of dozens or hundreds of times, had a different outcome.

On the other hand, Ulan responded bluntly.

“I just did my job.”

Of course, Noah’s help played a part, but the reason why I was able to achieve a different result from my past life was because I ran toward only one goal.

In order to recreate the realm of superhumans that I encountered at the last moment of my life, just before I died.

Ulan left the plains and entered the academy just for that purpose, and in the process, he defeated the Lord of the Abyss and became stronger.

“I also have something I want to ask you.”

At that time, Ulan, who had finished answering briefly, suddenly looked into the abyss and opened his mouth. Then she burst out laughing as if the abyss was fun.

【good night. I will allow it.】

【Because you have qualifications.】

Ulan is a being who has overcome his given fate.

Furthermore, in the abyss, it is nothing short of a mortal enemy. That’s why Abyss happily answered, and Ulan’s words continued.

“Lacus, and Largtan.”

The true names of the two monarchs suddenly appeared.

Ulan noted the similarities between the two.

“The two guys I met in this life seemed to remember everything that had happened over and over again. But not in my last life.”

Lacus and Largtan, whom I had encountered in my past life, did not know anything about the strange events and had never uttered the word “outsiders.”

If you remember all the times that have happened repeatedly, it is normal for you to have reacted the same way in your past life as well.

“What’s the difference here?”

So Ulan asked a question.

To resolve your curiosity. Meanwhile, Abyss, who was asked a question, responded with an indifferent tone.

【It’s a simple question.】

【Of course you won’t remember.】

【Because I didn’t choose it in my last life.】

“select?”

【The flow of time repeats countless times.】

【Only we are aware of this.】

【In other words, if it is not our choice, we cannot perceive the time that has passed.】

Only then did I understand.

Only the abyss knows that time repeats, and if this fact was not conveyed to him, the monarchs, like the warriors, would not have recognized that time repeats.

“Then why didn’t you choose it then?”

If he had moved, if this fact had been reported to the monarchs, the warriors, including Ulan, would not have been able to subdue even a single monarch.

To Ulan’s question, Abyss immediately answered as if asking something so obvious.

【Because it is meaningless.】

【Because there is no meaning in recognizing the passage of time in a world that will continue to repeat itself until a new stranger arrives.】

Time repeats itself anyway.

So the abyss remained silent until this phenomenon ended. This was the reason why Noah had no choice but to know the guy’s identity.

“Right. “Is that what happened?”

Ulan also shook his head as if he finally understood this fact. Then, the voice of the abyss was heard again.

【On the other hand, this time is different.】

【Now time doesn’t repeat anymore─.】

【The door to the abyss has opened.】

【There will be no reason to hesitate any longer.】

A cold word scattered into the air.

With this as a signal, Abyss launched an onslaught against Ulan again. Her countless hands tightened around his neck from all directions, and his battlefield was quickly covered in darkness.

Of course it didn’t last long.

Quaaaaaaaaaaa!

With a powerful explosion, the darkness that had covered Ulan was shattered. With that, Ulan’s counterattack began.

“I also have no hesitation.”

The six monarchs representing the abyss have been subdued, and now all that remains is the abyss in front of you. If they could get rid of him, victory was within reach, so Ulan did his best without any hesitation.

Thus, the realm of transcendence unfolds.

However, this time, unlike before, it was not at a level that could be defined in a few steps.

Ulan’s transcendental area went beyond hundreds of steps and easily swallowed up the battlefield itself. Then, two axes flew in, tearing through the space.

The onslaught that tore through even the sound penetrated the body of the abyss, and as a result, countless hands were crushed to the point where they were unrecognizable.

Of course, as time passed, it returned to its original state as if it had never happened.

【Tsk, this will never end.】

【It’s just a waste of time.】

The abyss, which had recovered its form, clicked its tongue lowly.

After a while, the guy looked at Ulan intently and suddenly stretched out a hand towards him.

【Part of the incident. I will make an offer to you.】

【Become the only monarch of the abyss.】

【Then, I will allow you to keep all beings around you as your subjects.】

What the abyss offered was sweet appeasement.

But what came back was a bitter flash of light.

Huh! Quagga-ga-ga-ga-!

The storm-like blow tore the abyss apart again, dividing it into countless fragments.

However, the talking did not stop.

【Think about it carefully. This is an opportunity.】

【An opportunity to become the ruler of a new world.】

【We just want to cover the abominable world of stars with an abyss.】

I could roughly guess why he was suddenly making this suggestion. This may be because there is precedent.

A thousand years ago from now.

Ten heroes who faced the abyss in the desert. Among them, three have a history of accepting the abyss, so they would probably make a similar proposal this time.

“It’s not worth listening to.”

On the other hand, Ulan’s response was cold.

For Ulan, who had served as the chieftain of a grassland tribe in his past life, the position of ruler was nothing but a headache and a headache.

So, it was time to prepare for battle again.

『Ulan.』

The voice I had been waiting for was heard.

Noah’s message. In response, Ulan reflexively tried to look towards where Noah was.

『Don’t look, just listen.』

However, I immediately stopped my actions when I heard the words that followed. This is probably to prevent drawing attention to the abyss.

『I found a solution. However, if I explain in detail, he might notice, so I’ll just keep the main point brief.』

Right after taking a deep breath.

Noah’s message soon followed.

『We must break down the door to the abyss.』

Why does the Gate of the Abyss suddenly appear?

Ulan suddenly had such a question. The moment I reflexively rolled my eyes and scanned the battlefield, a new question arose.

‘what? The door to the abyss… … .’

This is because I noticed that the Gate of the Abyss, which was in the middle of the battlefield until now, had disappeared from nowhere.

Then came the answer that resolved my doubts.

『Currently, the Gate of the Abyss is hidden by a curtain. So, once the curtain is lifted, from now on, no matter what I say, please break down the door first.』

Ulan did not answer.

Noah told me to just listen. However, he proved his answer with his actions. That was what drove the abyss into the abyss by swinging the ax wrapped around the aura.

『Then let’s begin!』

A voice signals the execution of the operation.

The warriors kicked the ground all at once. Among them, the first to take action was Perticia, a half-human, half-spirit bard.

“─────.”

A singing voice created by a pure tone.

As I was listening to the sweet song that gently wrapped around my ears, my body, which was suddenly full of fatigue, gradually began to feel lighter.

Is that all there is?

Strength surged throughout my body, and my mind became much clearer than before. In addition, with the help of the spirits, the magical energy that was seemingly at the bottom was filled.

【You’re doing something useless.】

【Are you going to make one last struggle?】

【In that case, I will respond accordingly.】

At that time, Abyss noticed this.

The guy who glared at Perticia stretched out his countless hands and tried to snatch her.

Huh! Quagga gaga!

The speed is fast enough to penetrate even the master’s domain. But he failed to achieve his goal.

“Your opponent is me, monster.”

Because Ulan blocked the way.

Then the abyss crumpled its face and guided the monsters on the battlefield to the warriors.

As a result, a huge army of monsters rushed in, but there was nothing to worry about. Because there is currently a witch here with the ability to kill on a large scale.

“Everyone, prepare for shock.”

A wizard with brilliant golden eyes.

The star witch, Delia Arpen, raised all her magical power and deployed a large-scale star cluster magic.

Meteor showers, novae, and star strikes.

The highest level of star cluster magic she had shown so far was engraved in the darkness of the abyss.

Soon after, merciless bombing began.

Kwaaaaang! bang! Quaaaang!

A battlefield that is devastated in an instant.

The large-scale magic that Delia poured out was so powerful that it even changed the topography of the arena.

When the cloudy dust cleared, most of the monsters on the battlefield disappeared without a trace. There was some remnants left, but this was within the expected range.

“Now it’s our turn to step forward.”

A shield that is responsible for the vanguard of the warrior party.

The strong paladin, Ian Marcus, kicked the ground with the holy sword and holy shield in front of him. And a flash of gold followed him.

“Cut them down without leaving a single one behind!”

The swordsman Yvela Eleaad, the being closest to the pinnacle of the sword, pierced even the space and advanced to clear out the remnants.

Right after all the disruptors disappeared.

Noah let out the cry he had been holding back.

“Laurea, now!”

A signal announcing the core of this operation.

With him, Saint Laurea, the agent of the noble star, joined hands. He then recited a prayer pouring out all his divine power.

“… … Holy Ghost. Let the starlight shine on the firewood piled with the faith of the Lamb. “Please kindle the fire of purification and light up the darkness of the abyss.”

This is the saint’s unique prayer.

It is a sacred spell that changes pure divine power into the light of godhood. It was also a dangerous spell that consumed enough mental power to put even one’s life at risk.

However, the effect was clear.

Because it can instantly eliminate the darkness of the abyss that cannot be removed with normal methods.

Thus, a pure white flame rose up.

The moment the primordial star fire containing divinity was created, the curtain of the abyss that had wrapped around the fountain of magic was lifted in the blink of an eye.

Good luck! Grumble!

Along with the curtain that quickly turned to ash, the Gate of the Abyss, whose existence had been hidden by the darkness of the Abyss, was revealed.

【─────!?】

And at that moment, the abyss was shaken so loudly that a huge hand swayed. As if only then did he realize what the warriors’ purpose was.

A sharp sound was heard at the same time.

It was the arrow of wind created by Myoin hunter, Sven Isaac, using a shrine. At the same time, Noah shouted so loudly that his voice seemed to explode.

“Run after the arrow, Ulan!”

Before the loud cries had even stopped, Ulan had already begun to take action. Then the abyss stretched out her countless hands with her angry roar.

It was to stop Ulan.

But at that moment, the arrow flying toward the door suddenly changed direction and shot toward the abyss.

Bababababaak! Parbat!

A rain of arrows covered the Hand of the Abyss.

Although it did not cause a direct hit, it was able to create a momentary gap. A gap large enough for the Ulan to pass through.

“There is no law that says the arrows a hunter fires will only target the prey.”

Sven grinned at the sight of Ulan breaking through in a split second. As if she had achieved her goal. And this was the same for Noah.

When I delivered the message to Ulan earlier, I told him to break down the door to the abyss first, no matter what I said, because it was all for this moment.

【Mortal bastards that won’t hurt even if you chew them!】

【I’ll swallow every last bit of it!】

Although he narrowly missed Ulan, there was still enough time to prevent him from breaking down the Abyss Gate.

In response, Abyss poured out all his strength and stretched out his hand to aim at Ulan. But then, a variable that had been overlooked until now blocked his path.

[Kaaaaaaaa!]

A descendant of Ludric, a sacred beast of the Desert Church.

Divided into hundreds of white tigers, they threw their entire bodies to block the abyss.

Of course, the time it took to stop the abyss was only a moment, but thanks to White Lang’s assistance, Ulan was able to reach his destination one step ahead.

The moment we reached with everyone’s help.

An opportunity created with everyone’s support.

We cannot let this go to waste.

Therefore, Ulan stared at the gate of the abyss and poured all his energy into the two axes.

Then at that moment.

The world surrounding Ulan expanded.

It is not just the area that has expanded, but the entire space of Ulan. Furthermore, the world centered around him came within the scope of cognition.

To the point where you can slowly see the abyss reaching out its hand urgently towards you.

‘Right. This is truly… … .’

The state of superhumanity. The realm of the transcendent.

Ulan was filled with a feeling of exhilaration and even brought unprecedented power to the axe. Then, he poured out all his strength and struck a blow.

──────!

The space was distorted for an instant in a single blow that transcended time, space, and dimension. And this had a huge impact on the Gates of the Abyss.

Clink!

With the sound of glass breaking, the door to the abyss was shattered so easily that it felt like nothing. Along with that, a scream like a scream rang out.

【No──!】

The scream from the abyss.

This was a very timely response.

Because Ulan’s ax that broke the door to the abyss flew straight toward the abyss.

Kwasik! Crack! Pow!

In a blow that transcended even dimensions, the abyss was torn apart beyond recognition. And this time she couldn’t get back into shape.

It was a natural result. Because the door was broken, the magic power of the abyss was no longer supplied.

“Whoa.”

Thus, the source of the abyss was revealed.

Ulan took a deep breath and stepped on an object that looked like a black bead, looking down at him.

Then at that moment.

The voice of the abyss knocked in my ears.

【─Don’t think this is the end.】

The voice was a bit weak, but that didn’t make it funny. Because I felt strong hatred towards Ulan from beyond.

【The abyss is the shadow of this world.】

【Everything in the world has a flip side.】

【As long as the star world itself does not disappear, the abyss is also immortal.】

The voice of the abyss, whispering faintly like a dying ember, became clear for an instant.

【So be afraid.】

Just like burning the last flame.

The abyss, which had turned into ashes and scattered, glared at the warriors, including Ulan, and spoke as if cursing them.

【One day, a new abyss will be born.】

【At that time, your world will be—.】

However, the words of the abyss did not continue.

This is because Ulan, who trampled on its origins, brought an ax to the surface of the bead.

“The sea I hoped for.”

Ulan responds calmly.

He growled fiercely, making eye contact with the true source of the abyss that existed beyond the black orb.

“If you want to come, please come. “I will give you the same results no matter how many times you get it!”

Ending with a resounding roar.

puck! Quack!

The source of the abyss was shattered.

With a crunching sound, like a castle made of sand collapsing, the abyss eventually turned into ash and scattered in the air.

It was the same end as other monarchs.

As we broke down the door to the abyss and destroyed the abyss, the scenery in the hall quickly changed.

With the disappearance of the abyssal erosion, the fountain of magic also regained its original appearance. However, no one was interested in change.

“Uh, Ulan!?”

This is because Ulan, who broke the source of the abyss, suddenly fell towards the floor. The startled warriors hurriedly approached him, and soon they checked his condition and breathed a sigh of relief.

“are you okay. Because Ulan is safe.”

“I guess I’m probably exhausted.”

Perticia and Laurea’s response.

Well, I guess that would be worth it.

When Ulan broke down the Abyss Gate, he put all his strength into it. At the gathering where everyone was like that, Ian looked back at Noah.

“So is this all over?”

“Yes, everything is finished.”

Noah nodded silently.

At the last moment, the words that Abyss left behind like a will were heartbreaking, but that was in the distant future.

It was a problem to be solved by future warriors.

Then, a familiar message appeared.

【Hidden achievement achieved.】

【Hidden achievement achieved.】

A message of victory that always appeared when subduing the Lord of the Abyss. This was like a signal that everything was over.

So, I leisurely looked ahead.

【Achievement】: Eye Stealer

【Conditions】: Defeat ‘Lacus’, the Eye of the Abyss

[Reward]: Elixir of Observation

【Achievement】: Star Warrior

【Condition】: Stop the Abyss Invasion

【Reward】: Elixir of Glory

Blue and red elixirs respectively.

Since all tasks have been completed, there is no need to have any elixirs, but there is no need to hesitate to give them.

Noah put the two elixirs in his arms.

Then I quietly looked at the sky.

‘Now really… … .’

It’s all over.

Noah recalled the past as he watched the breath that came out of his lips and dispersed hazily.

The first time I defeated the Lord of the Abyss.

The moment when he revealed his identity to Ulan and was recognized by him as a colleague. Just when she learned the truth about Kazan Ludrik and was overcoming her fate, etc.

The many things I had experienced so far were a series of miracles that could not be achieved even in the original work.

‘It’s all thanks to Ulan.’

This was a fact that no one could deny.

If it weren’t for Ulan, I wouldn’t have even dared to get this far.

Therefore, Noah looked at the unconscious Ulan with eyes filled with various emotions.

‘From now on, I will continue to be by Ulan’s side… … .’

Let’s create a new story that we haven’t experienced in the original. It was a time when I held such a hope in my heart and smiled faintly.

Suddenly a new message appeared.

【You have passed all the star trials.】

【Special rewards will be given.】

“Yes?”

Special reward?

Do you want to give me some elixir again?

Noah burst into laughter at a sudden thought. But the moment she checked the message that followed, her face hardened like a stone statue.

“… … uh?”

A system message appears before your eyes.

The content of the message projected onto the surface of the sea-blue eyes was very short and concise.

【Special Reward】: Return to Earth

【Remaining Time】: 14 days 23 hours

The moment one day’s concern turned into reality, Noah’s mind turned completely white. So empty that she couldn’t even think about anything.
