The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 314

Chapter 65. face to face (5)

8.

After Ulan and his group disappeared.

Noah stamped his feet impatiently and looked at the place where the other warriors had disappeared.

There is only one reason.

A considerable amount of time has passed since it was wrapped in light and disappeared, and there was no sign of it returning.

“… … “When is it coming out?”

Noah wasn’t the only one feeling frustrated. Muak Rudrik also couldn’t take his eyes off the place where his group disappeared.

“It’s already been a week… … . Surely something happened?”

Sirpi also showed a nervous reaction.

As she said, it has already been six days since Ulan and his group disappeared in the light.

As the week passed, there was no news and I felt worried.

“No, that won’t happen.”

Meanwhile, in response to Sirpi’s concerns, Noah shook his head without showing his nervousness. She was anxious, but she had her trust.

It’s a system message.

If something had happened to Ulan and his party, a system message would have provided information as it had done so far.

“So let’s wait a little longer.”

In fact, there was nothing else to do other than wait. At that time, I was preparing for another indefinite wait.

“Noah.”

Someone called her name.

This is Ibella Elead. As she failed to undergo the trials of being a warrior, her qualifications were not recognized and she remained here with Noah.

“Do you have a moment?”

“Yes. That’s okay, but why?”

“I want to talk about something.”

After answering, Ibella pointed to the temporarily installed barracks. It means that you want to talk only with the two of you. Noah nodded silently.

After a while, she took out the amulets and placed them around the barracks. It might be a secret story, so I wanted to block out the sound.

“You can talk now. what’s the matter?”

“Oh, it’s not that important, I just wanted to ask you something, so I called you.”

“Which one?”

“I’m curious about what my future self will be like out of the many lives you’ve experienced so far.”

A somewhat unexpected question.

Noah tilted his head.

“Why is that suddenly… … .”

“Can you tell me?”

Judging by the fact that he asked again without giving a reason, it appears that there is no particular reason. Or maybe I don’t want to talk about it.

“Yes, of course.”

Still, it wasn’t something I couldn’t tell, so I nodded willingly. Then, she began to tell her story, tracing her past memories.

“Future Ibella, that is, you who joined the warriors were called the Masked Swordsman.”

In the original, Ibella always wore a mask.

There were many reasons for this, but the biggest reason was that he had many scars on his face due to wandering around the battlefield for a long time.

She dropped out of the academy at a young age and lived in the battlefield, gradually developing her own skills and honing her swordsmanship.

“Then I met Ulan.”

“On the battlefield?”

“Yes, according to the flow of the original work, Ibella is always the first to meet Ulan.”

First you meet Ulan.

Perhaps because she liked those words, Ibella smiled faintly. Noah looked at her and continued to tell her story.

“Anyway, after that, I traveled around the battlefield with Ulan and did a lot of great work. Then, whenever the conditions were met, the hero’s ordeal was activated, and you overcame it and proved your qualifications as a warrior.”

Furthermore, one reaches the level of master.

From this point on, she was called the Masked Swordsman instead of the name Ibella. Noah closed his mouth for a moment and was about to tell the story after that.

“I want to hear that part in more detail.”

“Yes? “What part?”

“The conditions for the hero’s ordeal.”

Suddenly, Ibella spoke up.

“Of course, I told you last time that you didn’t have to worry so much, but for some reason, it still bothered me… … .”

Noah realized something from the answer he received.

Why did Ibella suddenly ask this question?

‘I guess it was because I was nervous.’

It has been six days since Ulan and his party disappeared.

Since I have been here alone, away from my other colleagues, it seems like I have thought a lot. Noah, who guessed the general situation, nodded his head.

“As I’ve said before, there are two conditions for activating the trials you undergo.”

first. Go beyond the level of expert and reach the corner of the wall leading to the level of master.

second. Overcoming a crisis that can be called a disaster, gaining enlightenment, and becoming a master.

Based on his experience so far, Noah gave an answer that was clearer and more specific than any other words.

However, despite this, Ibella’s dark complexion showed no signs of brightening. After a while, she revealed her true feelings.

“… … “To be honest, I don’t know when the diagonal line you’re talking about will occur, and I’m not even sure if I have the strength and talent to overcome it.”

So I felt anxious.

Moreover, while all his other colleagues took on the challenge of the warrior’s test and passed it, he was the only one who was still like this, which made his confidence even lower.

When I lowered my head like that.

Noah’s words suddenly continued.

“Then let me tell you my experience.”

“uh? Noah’s experience… … ?”

“When I lived as you.”

With the answer that came back, Ibella’s eyes shone with pure curiosity. Of course. If I were told that someone completely different from me lived my life, I couldn’t help but feel interested.

Facing the sparkling eyes, Noah stretched out three fingers.

“I have lived your life a total of three times. And two of them I tried and failed, and the other time I barely made it through after the door to the abyss was opened.”

Even the other time, right after the door to the abyss was opened, he managed to get through it with the help of Ulan and other colleagues.

“On the other hand, you were different.”

“That means… … ?”

“Because I never once failed the test while it was repeated dozens or hundreds of times.”

It was the moment when I realized that playing as another character was much more helpful to my power than playing as Ibella.

“That means he is a much greater person than me. “You have such strength and talent.”

“Talent… … .”

“okay. You can believe what I am saying because I have lived my life over hundreds of times. “You will definitely pass the test, so don’t worry.”

Noah smiled brightly after answering.

Is it because of her sincere comfort? Ibella answered in a much brighter voice than before.

“Yes, thank you. “I feel better.”

“I’m glad it helped.”

Noah finally felt relieved because it wasn’t just empty words, his complexion actually looked much better. Immediately afterwards, Ibella suddenly scratched her cheek and laughed.

“I also remembered the insurance I had forgotten.”

“insurance?”

“Yes, I once said that if I don’t reach the level of master even after I turn 30, Ulan will take care of me.”

“Oh, that’s… … .”

Perhaps what those words mean is that Ulan will take responsibility and raise Ibella to the level of a master.

However, when I saw Ibella smiling with blushing cheeks, I couldn’t bring myself to tell her the truth. So she decided to keep her mouth shut.

“Thank you for comforting me. Now… … .”

Now that our concerns are resolved, let’s go outside.

Ibella wanted to say that. But at that moment, a loud roar was suddenly heard.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A barracks shaking with a roar.

In an unexpected situation, Noah and Ibella went out without anyone taking the first step. Then his eyes widened.

“Well, that… … ?”

“what? “Did the ceiling collapse?”

As Ibella said, the ceiling leading to the headquarters of the Desert Church has collapsed. That time when I looked at the cloudy dust rising up.

[Caw! Knock!]

[Surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ludric’s family members, monsters and poisonous snakes, who had been quiet until now, unleashed their ferocious energy.

Soon, he looked at the place where the ceiling had collapsed with clear hostile eyes. Suddenly, Ibella grabbed the hilt of the sword.

“… … Noah, come behind me.”

This was because he realized it one step later than Ludrick’s subordinates. The most powerful presence felt in the place where the ceiling collapsed.

Some time after that.

Whiiiiing!

A strong wind blew and the dust cleared all at once. The moment Noah faced the four men and women who appeared later, his eyes widened.

“… … !?”

Their identities are the masters of the empire, including Seoric al-Ghorphant. In addition, Count Dermore, who was presumed to be an apostle of the Abyss, was also there.

The appearance of completely unexpected people.

But at that moment, an even more unexpected situation colored Noah’s eyes.

[alarm]

▶The Trial of the Hero – Challenge Begins

▶Challenge: [Ibella Eleaad]

[Time remaining until trial completion]: TBC

Notification that Ibella’s ordeal has begun.

This means that this place becomes a death line for her. In other words, the crisis of death is right around the corner for her.

The moment Noah realized this fact, Noah’s face became paler than anyone else.

9.

Meanwhile, after confronting Kazan Rudrik.

Ulan walked deep into the tomb, following White Lang and Kazan in the lead.

How long has it been like that?

Just as the ordinary passageway was getting wider, Kazan and the white tiger stopped in place. This was because a dead end space appeared.

“This place… … .”

Ulan, who also stopped walking, gently opened his eyes wide. It was because of the objects that filled one side of the space.

A total of nine stone statues.

Perhaps because this place had been kept for a long time, the statue was full of cloudy dust. Kazan carefully shook off the dust, and soon his exterior was revealed.

The identity of the stone statues is that they are each carved in the shape of a human being. At that time, I thought that the appearance seemed somehow familiar.

“What you think is right.”

Kazan came to the side.

He stood next to Ulan, faced the statues, and muttered that he missed them.

“This statue was sculpted in memory of my comrades who faced the abyss with me. “I feel lonely being alone in a place like this.”

Kazan, who revealed the identity of the stone statue, once again showed a wistful expression. He then explained another reason for creating the statue.

“He also knew that this would repeat itself for an indefinite amount of time, so he created a stone statue to keep his mind intact.”

An empty place with nothing.

In a place like this, he created stone statues so as not to forget that he was Kazan Ludrik and to prevent his colleagues’ memories from disappearing.

Some time after that.

Kazan, who had been looking at the statues for a while, opened his mouth as if he remembered something he had forgotten.

“Oh, now that I think about it… … .”

“… … ?”

“I haven’t even asked your name yet.”

It certainly was.

Ulan, who realized this belatedly, nodded his head once and immediately turned to face Kazan. Then he put his fist to his chest and said.

“I am Ulan Bator. A warrior born and raised in the grasslands and one of the seven warriors.”

“Ah, the name was Ulan.”

Immediately after Ulan’s introduction.

Kazan mumbled Ulan’s name several times as if trying to remember it. After a while, he looked at Ulan again and spoke.

“Then I will ask you, Ulan. “What do you think the abyss is?”

“An enemy that must be eliminated.”

Ulan answered without the slightest hesitation.

Meanwhile, Kazan’s eyes widened at the answer that came back almost before the question was finished. Then she immediately burst into laughter.

“haha. The same goes for me, but what I want to ask is about the meaning and identity of the abyss itself.”

Kazan corrects the question and asks again.

Ulan shook his head.

“I do not know. “I’ve never even thought about it.”

This was true.

The only thing Ulan knows about the Abyss is that they are the ones who want to lead the world to destruction, as mentioned in an old prophecy.

When I told this to Kazan, he stroked his chin and shook his head.

“Well, strictly speaking, that’s not wrong either. However, I can say that it is wrong to try to lead the world to destruction.”

“… … “It’s wrong?”

Ulan’s eyebrows twitched.

Because the words Kazan just uttered were words that denied the prophecy about the abyss itself.

“So are you saying that the purpose of the Abyss is not to destroy this world?”

“okay. When this world is destroyed, the abyss will naturally disappear. “The goal they truly pursue is not destruction.”

“Then what is it?”

“It’s simple. “To throw off the role of shadow, which has always existed as the other side of the world, and turn the abyss into a true world.”

With the answer that came back, Ulan suddenly felt an old memory come to mind.

I remembered something similar to this being said when fighting the Lord of the Abyss in my last life.

“Now the time has come! Next time, the abyss will become the true world!”

One of the six lords of the Abyss.

The last words spoken by Lacus, the 6th-ranked monarch, when he was subjugated by Ibella’s sword.

At the time, I just passed it over, but when I heard from Kazan that it was a real world, I thought there might be some connection.

Meanwhile, Kazan’s repeated voice broke Ulan out of his thoughts.

“However, for that purpose, the magical power of the abyss must cover the world, and furthermore, all life in this world must become a being of the abyss.”

“what? That means… … .”

“that’s right. From our perspective, it is not much different from destruction. “So I think that’s probably why such a prophecy was delivered.”

It was a reasonable guess.

At that time, Ulan nodded, feeling like the scattered pieces of the puzzle were coming together.

“Cluck, cluck!”

Suddenly, Kazan let out a strong cough.

His body began to shake, and soon it turned into fine sand-like fragments and dispersed.

A body slowly collapsing.

Kazan, who realized his condition, immediately muttered with a dark look on his face.

“… … “It looks like the time for leisurely chatting has just come to an end.”

A body that is broken as a result of being sealed for a long time.

However, no fear or fear of death could be seen on his face. All you can find are brightly shining eyes.

As he gazed intently into the intense eyes full of silent determination, Kazan’s eyes turned to Ulan again.

“Now let’s get to the point. “I will tell you everything I know.”

The reason why Kazan decided to seal himself.

The reason why Ulan alone was brought here.

Finally, in order to uncover all the reasons why the world’s time keeps repeating itself, Kazan began a long story.
