The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 215

(2)

3.

Coo coo coo coo!

A strong vibration felt from afar.

Ibella Elead jumped down the castle wall after Ulan and grabbed her sword without saying a word.

A cloud of rising dust was reflected in the sparkling blue-green eyes. At the same time, countless swarms of demonic beasts were also seen.

“Whoa.”

Ibella caught her breath.

A situation where battle is just around the corner.

Whenever you face a situation like this, a tight feeling of tension dominates your body. However, I wasn’t that nervous this time.

This is thanks to the sweet singing sound heard in real time from the castle walls.

‘… … ‘Perticia.’

The daughter of the Lapidis family who uses a mysterious ability called elemental magic. She can spread the spirit’s power in all directions through song.

Is it because of these abilities?

Ibella felt the tension disappear and her entire body become lighter. So she was able to regain her composure faster than usual.

When we were preparing for battle like that.

This time, dozens of amulets were spread out from the castle wall onto the battlefield.

Babababababaak!

The amulet flying towards the demonic beasts soon stopped in midair. Like waiting for a signal. Ibella, seeing this, glanced at the top of the castle wall.

‘Noah.’

A girl from the same tribe as the Ulan.

Possessing the power of witchcraft, she did not take her eyes off the battlefield as if waiting for the right moment.

After a while, as soon as the soldier being chased by the swarm of demonic beasts passed the boundary of the amulet, Noah immediately dropped the amulet and smashed it into the ground.

A bluish barrier rose up immediately.

This quickly isolated the group of demonic beasts in the middle of the battlefield. Thanks to this, the gap between the fleeing soldiers and the herd of demonic beasts widened significantly.

‘Perhaps to ensure the safety of the soldiers… … .’

They must have used this technique.

However, even though sufficient distance was secured, Noah did not lift the barrier. He even suffered a nosebleed and desperately maintained the barrier.

It was a simple reason.

Because there was another purpose.

And at this moment, Noah has achieved his desired goal even at the cost of shedding blood.

“That… … .”

An extraordinary event covered the sky full of dark clouds.

Suddenly, countless stars twinkled all at once in the gray sky where not even the sunlight was visible.

That’s when Ibella opened her eyes wide.

Ulan, who was also looking at the sky, grinned as if he knew what that was.

“Meteor shower.”

A fragment of a star wrapped in magical power.

A 7-star strategic magic, a meteor shower struck the demonic beasts trapped in the barrier without mercy.

Quaaaang! bang! Kwaaaaaaaa!

The barrier caught up in the bombardment of stars was shattered in vain, and the battlefield was instantly devastated.

[Gaaaaaa!]

However, not all enemies disappeared.

Large demonic beasts of 7 stars or higher and those who were lucky enough to survive began to advance again.

Now all that’s left is about half of the demonic beasts.

If we used the Meteor Shower one more time, we could greatly reduce their numbers, but we couldn’t.

‘It’s too close to the castle wall.’

If the meteor shower was used again, there was a high possibility that even the walls of the castle would be caught in the bombing. So all that remains is single magic support and close combat.

In response, Ulan and Ibella kicked the ground.

Receiving firepower support from the top of the castle wall, the two began hunting the demonic beast at high speed.

A melee unfolded in an instant.

However, there was no attack anywhere that could threaten Ibella. Because she was within Ulan territory and was indirectly protected.

Ibella felt grateful for this fact, but she was also dissatisfied.

‘If only I had been a little stronger.’

Ulan wouldn’t have to worry about me.

With that thought, Ibella clenched the fist holding the sword tightly.

It was because I felt resentful for no reason.

‘I also want to help Ulan.’

Rather than being protected by him, I want to be a comrade who fights by his side.

But the qualifications were lacking.

Just thinking about my colleagues who were thinking of providing fire support on the castle wall right now made me compare too much.

Delia Arpen went beyond being a mage and held the title of youngest archmage.

Noah also assists and supports Ulan’s battles with magic and magic. Plus Perticia, who can control the spirits at will.

‘On the other hand, I… … .’

The state of a senior knight.

There is nothing else. Compared to other friends, it’s not enough. In this way, instead of being Ulan’s comrade, he becomes nothing more than a burden.

‘I’m not good at anything else.’

She did not receive Mana’s love like Delian or Noah, nor did she possess the mysterious ability called elemental magic like Perticia.

There is only one talent given to her.

‘Sword.’

A talent that even Ulan recognized.

In that sense, this is an opportunity.

It is said that the more battles you fight, the faster your growth becomes noticeably faster.

‘so that… … .’

I brushed away all the distracting thoughts.

I poured all my remaining mental power into the sword.

I didn’t think about anything else and focused everything on defeating the demon beast.

‘A little faster.’

Ibella has a weakness.

Its physical strength is significantly weaker than that of Ulan.

So, in order to compensate for her shortcomings, she tried to achieve maximum results with minimum actions. She swung her sword consciously.

‘More precisely.’

To destroy a vital point with one blow.

To achieve the highest efficiency.

Ibella’s sword created the closest and most accurate path to the correct answer.

And the result.

One demon fell with one blow.

Breathing, stride length, sword strike, etc.

There was no wasted energy. As if I had learned how to get the maximum benefit using the minimum amount of movement.

It is truly a completely different sword technique.

Until now, it had been a sword used to fight against enemies who were aiming for one’s life, but from now on, Ibella’s sword began to aim for the enemy’s life.

Then, Ulan, who was fighting the large demon beast at the front, also noticed a change.

‘That… … .’

A scene where swordsmanship continues to evolve.

A merciless yet beautiful sword that changes according to the situation and pierces the enemy’s vital points.

It was a scene he missed.

That was the sword of Yvela Elead, the swordsman that Ulan remembered. At the same time, Ulan also noticed changes in Ibella.

‘You’ve crossed the wall.’

At some point, Ibella crossed the threshold of being a senior knight and reached the level of expert.

Of course, it was expected.

When she defeated the swamp ruler in the past and absorbed the source, she already obtained a spirit that was close to expert level.

‘Still, I never thought it would be this fast.’

As expected, he is a colleague that he recognized.

Ulan grinned.

As if he were truly happy with Ibella’s growth.

[Gaaaaaa!]

Then, suddenly, a strong roar was heard.

Then, large demonic beasts scattered everywhere suddenly began targeting Ibella.

It was a simple reason.

As Ibella climbed over the wall, her magical power fluctuated, and the demon beasts that sensed this regarded her as a threat.

Demonic beasts rushing towards you.

But this was a meaningless raid.

Kwasik! Crack! Whoops!

Soon there was a frenzy of ax cutting, and their bodies were cut in half.

“Do not disturb.”

Ibella is still growing.

I have surpassed the level of expert and am still in a trance. So, we excluded risk factors so that we could save anything.

Some time after that.

After all the demons disappeared.

“haha!”

Ibella took a deep breath.

As he was constantly swinging his sword, he must have reached his limit. Now I didn’t even have the energy left to hold a sword, but I felt relieved.

‘like… … .’

Because it felt like everything inside me was brought out.

And based on this, I realized that I had overcome the wall. Smiling faintly, she stumbled and slowly fell to the floor.

But it didn’t collapse.

There was a hand supporting Ibella.

“Congratulations, Ibella.”

“… … Ulan.”

“Leave the rest to me.”

A reassuring answer just to hear.

Relieved to have a trustworthy colleague by her side, she quickly lost consciousness.

Ulan carried Ibella on his shoulder, then turned and walked toward the castle gate.

It was to announce the end of the battle.

4.

Meanwhile, around that time.

Owen, who was on the castle wall, even forgot about his command and stared blankly at the battlefield.

“W-what… … .”

From the meteor shower that cut hundreds of demonic beasts in half at once to the present, amazing scenes unfolded one after another.

However, there was something else that caught my attention.

A barbarian man who unilaterally hunts demonic beasts beneath the castle walls. It is the Battle of Ulan.

Ulan swings his ax across the battlefield as if in an instant. Owen, looking at this, quickly realized what it was.

“… … “Master’s domain.”

Now that I think about it, I’ve heard of it.

The youngest master on the continent was born at Arsene Academy. But it was so absurd that I just ignored it.

‘But I never thought it was true.’

Eyes filled with astonishment and admiration.

Then, as he was following Ulan’s back like he was possessed, Owen’s eyes suddenly turned to a blonde girl not far from him.

‘what?’

It has changed from when I first saw it.

What has changed? At a time when I was worried, a change began under his watch.

“… … !?”

Her sword changes rapidly.

The process of one swordsman breaking down walls and growing up was vividly captured in his eyes.

The body trembles as if struck by lightning.

Owen immediately clenched his fists.

‘Why am I here?’

I also want to fight on the battlefield.

Rather than just watching from the castle walls, I want to go into battle as a swordsman. The desire for power that I thought I had forgotten burned like wildfire.

Some time after that.

Thump thump!

Suddenly there was a knock on the castle door.

When I got out of my thoughts and looked down, I saw Ulan carrying Ibella and a soldier on his shoulders.

“The battle is over.”

As the saying goes, it is a magical beast that is no longer visible.

Under the direction of Owen, who came to his senses, the soldiers immediately opened the castle gate. After coming inside, Ulan left the unconscious Ibella in the care of Noah and laid the bloodied soldier on the floor.

“The wound is so bad!”

“Damn it, get the potion first!”

He is in critical condition, as if he will stop breathing at any moment.

But there was no need for the potion. The spirits that responded to Perticia’s song attached themselves to the soldier’s body one by one.

Saaaaa!

With a halo of light visible only to Ulan and Perticia, the soldier’s bleeding stopped. This was thanks to the healing power possessed by the spirits.

‘but… … .’

It is not as effective as divine power.

All I could do was stop the bleeding and relieve the pain. Still, thanks to that, the soldier managed to regain consciousness.

“Ugh! omg! “Huh!”

A soldier wakes up in pain.

Owen spoke immediately.

“This is Owen Herreis, commander of the Flute Guard.”

“Heh, Captain Herace.”

“What happened on the northern border? Why did you leave the fortress and come here… … .”

Even before he finished speaking.

The soldier suddenly grabbed Owen’s hand tightly.

Then, he opened his blood-lined eyes and spoke in a voice that seemed as if he would die at any moment.

“… … “The enemy is not just demonic beasts.”

“what?”

“The fortress and the northern border will soon be breached. Before the enemies reach the flute, you must somehow block them to minimize damage… … .”

The soldier, who continued speaking while out of breath, eventually lost consciousness. Fortunately, he survived and was immediately taken to the ward.

Meanwhile, those left behind pondered what the soldier had said.

“What on earth were you trying to say?”

Professor Melt tilted his head, but there was no one who could answer the question.

However, this much was certain.

Enemies other than demonic beasts have appeared, and the northern border will soon be breached. Professor Melt, realizing this fact, muttered with a dark look on his face.

“An emergency meeting will be called.”

Some time after the professor finished speaking.

A summons was issued to all flutes. This was because the testimony of a soldier from the northern border was reported to superiors, making it urgent to prepare countermeasures.

Chapter 50. Everything is according to plan.
