The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 321

Chapter 67 Eighth Champion (1)

One.

Albaric, a descendant of Largtan.

In the original work, he is an assault leader in charge of the vanguard of the giant army, and is a strong man who has reached the level of a master in the body of a giant.

Just thinking about what other players in the original had to say about Albaric made it clear just how difficult of an opponent he was.

‘It was said that he possesses a fighting power similar to that of all twelve clans under the Immortal Lord Asteban gathered together.’

Is that all there is?

Albaric in the original is a monster that even Ulan has struggled with several times. Perhaps that’s why Albaric boasted an intimidating presence just by appearing.

‘Of course it’s a little different now.’

Ulan at this point is stronger than any episode of the original. So, unlike the original, you will be able to defeat Albaric without struggling.

‘But the problem is… … .’

That Ulan is not here.

The point is that you have to fight against Albaric in a situation where there are no other heroes.

Therefore, Noah swallowed his dry saliva while keeping an eye on Albaric who suddenly appeared. Meanwhile, Noah was not the only one surprised by his appearance.

“Uh, giants?”

“Why are those who are supposed to be in the canyon… … .”

Seorik and Rimmer also had expressions of bewilderment on their faces, just like Noah.

When all eyes were gathered together.

The one-eyed giant opened his mouth.

【Tsk! Who would have guessed that they were huddled together and hiding in a place like this out of fear that they were rats?】

A voice filled with contempt.

Just as he was casting his one and only eye coldly, someone suddenly stepped forward.

[Caw! Knock!]

[Shhh!]

Monster birds and poisonous snakes.

They were Ludrick’s descendants. Albaric frowned as if he was shocked at the sight of the two letting out threatening cries.

【Where do these beasts, bound by a pact with a mere ghost, dare to raise their teeth?】

Albaric, who was letting out an angry voice, suddenly lost his anger. Then he snapped his fingers and the corners of his mouth twitched into a grin.

【But there is no need to worry from now on. My king has shown me the mercy of death, so now I can finally be freed from my long-standing covenant.】

As soon as the mocking provocation was over, the monster and the dog snarled, baring their teeth even more.

At a time when such a tense standoff continued.

【This is the end of the trivial chatter.】

Suddenly, Albaric’s mood changed.

He stepped forward with his ax and shield in front of him. Then he let out a loud cry that made the cave echo loudly.

【Assault leader, Albaric! According to the king’s command, I condemn the enemies who invaded the sacred desert!】

As soon as the loud roar stopped, the area centered around him covered the battlefield.

An area of ​​about twenty steps.

However, since the pace was based on the giant race, the range was indeed considerable. Enough to swallow up the cognitive realm of an ordinary human being.

And that moment.

In the blink of an eye, Albaric rushed towards the monsters and poisonous snakes. It was a move so agile that it was hard to believe it was so huge.

Quagga-ga-ga-ga-ga! Quang!

The ground was split open and a loud explosion swept through the hall. The monster and the poisonous snake immediately began a counterattack as if they had no intention of being taken lightly.

A fierce battle soon began.

In this process, Ibella also joined Shinsu and tried to help in dealing with Albaric.

And Albaric, who noticed this, snorted with a cold expression.

【under! Humans don’t even know the subject!】

Albaric, who had fought a fierce battle with his subordinates, swung his ax at Ibella, who was approaching him.

An ax flying through the air.

At that moment, Noah realized what Ibella was trying to do and shouted in an urgent tone.

“You can’t accept it! Ibella!”

“… … !”

Immediately after recognizing Noah’s warning.

Yvela instinctively twisted her sword, and as a result, Albaric’s ax and her sword narrowly passed each other.

However, during this process, a strong shock wave was generated, and Ibella, who had no place to escape, was swept away by the wind pressure.

“Ah!”

The body floating in the air was bounced by the repulsive force. But fortunately she was able to avoid being pushed into a corner.

[Caw!]

It was thanks to the monster receiving Ibella.

Ibella, who managed to maintain her balance thanks to this, took a deep breath and glared at Albaric. Meanwhile, he checked his own condition.

‘… … ‘I can’t stop shaking.’

Their weapons only slightly brushed against each other, but Ibella’s hands were shaking like aspen trees.

What would have happened to him if he had recognized Noah’s warning a little later and clashed weapons with Albaric?

Ibella trembled.

‘But that doesn’t mean… … !’

There is no way not to fight.

So, just as I was catching my breath to join the fight with Albaric again, the sound of Muak and the desert warriors’ conversation suddenly struck my ears.

“Great, Captain!”

“The Empire is gone!”

The desert warriors clearly looked embarrassed.

As they said, Seoric and Rimmer, who had been across from them just a moment ago, were nowhere to be seen.

It wasn’t just the two of them.

Both Count Dermore and the fainted figure of Barca disappeared from nowhere. In response, Muak muttered as if swallowing his low moan.

“It looks like he ran away.”

“Tsk! “Cowards!”

“Running away from the monster of the abyss… … !”

The desert warriors could not hide their anger at Muak’s guess. Ibella, on the other hand, had different thoughts.

‘It’s not cowardly, it’s wise.’

Masters of the Empire.

Their purpose was not to achieve victory over the Abyss or the giants, but to save Perticia and eliminate the heretics.

In other words, he decided that it would be difficult to achieve his goal here, so he left.

‘And it’s better not to have anything.’

Of course, it would have helped in some way if we had been together on the battlefield. Aside from Barka, who fainted, there were two masters.

But the problem is Count Dermore.

Now that it was clear that he had become an apostle of the Abyss Lord, his remaining would do more harm than good.

‘So now… … .’

It’s time to focus on the battle at hand, not them.

After completing her judgment, Ibella shook off the distracting thoughts floating around in her head and took a deep breath.

At the same time, he did not take his eyes off Albaric, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Ludric’s family.

“Whoo, whoo!”

The plan was to keep an eye on the guy, find an opening, and then immediately expand the area and launch a barrage of sword attacks.

Then.

A familiar voice came from beside me.

“Ibella, are you okay?”

A girl with black hair and blue eyes.

It was Noah Darshen.

Ibella silently nodded as she looked worried and asked about her condition.

“huh. “I can still fight more.”

Now the tremors in my hands have subsided.

I also knew that I shouldn’t clash swords hastily, so I planned to fight cautiously from now on.

Noah, on the other hand, shook his head.

“No, you can’t fight.”

“what? What does that mean… … .”

“Never think about fighting. In particular, it is best to give up any thoughts of striking with a sword.”

I know that because I have already experienced it.

But why don’t we fight? Ibella asked a question in a puzzled tone, and the answer soon came back.

“Our goal is not to win the fight, but to buy as much time as possible.”

“Buying time?”

“Yes, you and the giants are not compatible.”

Geomhee, Ibella Eleaad.

Her sword is fast and accurate. Above all, the sharp sword that flies through space is more threatening than any warrior’s strike.

‘But it doesn’t work on giants.’

The most important thing when dealing with giants is not the sword of insight or the sword of speed. Overwhelming power that can counter the mighty power of a giant.

If that’s not enough, it’s difficult to win a battle against a giant. This is especially true against a strong enemy like Albaric.

“So the only one who can fight against that and win is Ulan.”

The owner of unbelievable strength.

Furthermore, through repeated use of the elixir, Ulan has become so strong that it can be safely said that he has power equivalent to that of a giant.

Therefore, all Noah and Ibella had to do was keep Albaric in check and buy time until Ulan arrived.

“Yes, I understand what you mean.”

Fortunately, Ibella followed Noah’s advice.

But unfortunately, the situation has changed so much that even simply buying time is not easy.

Kwasik! Quaaaaaaaaa!

A loud roar made by the wall collapsing.

It was the sound of a monster and a poisonous snake being thrown into a corner. Muak and Sirpi’s eyes grew indescribably wide at this sight.

“Three, oh my… … .”

“The denomination of the church… … !”

A monster and a poisonous snake fell without even a single movement.

On the other hand, Albaric suffered burns all over his body, but appeared relatively fine.

He fixed the ax and activated the domain with a roar again, and changed direction. At that, Noah and Ibella’s eyes widened.

“… … !”

This is because they figured out that Albaric, who had cornered Ludrik’s family in a corner, was coming this way.

Immediately after quickly recognizing the situation.

“Noah! Dangerous!”

Ibella hurriedly pushed Noah away.

However, as if he had expected even that, Albaric’s ax changed its trajectory and flew in.

The moment Ibella saw this, she had an intuition.

‘I have to accept it!’

Of course, it was obvious what would happen if an ax loaded with tremendous power was struck.

However, if you do not respond or dodge the attack, Noah will suffer. I couldn’t see something like that happening.

‘please… … !’

I hope I can take the axe, just once. I don’t mind getting my wrists crushed, I hope I can save Noah!

Ibella gritted her teeth and struck straight at Albaric’s axe.

Quaaaaaaaaaaa!

After the momentary collision, a huge explosion broke out. Afterwards, Albaric’s ax bounced halfway and flew away from Noah.

Ibella’s intention was successful.

However, the price was terrible.

“… … !”

The scenery revealed after the cloudy dust cleared.

Facing this, Noah widened his eyes.

This was because Ibella, who had taken Albaric’s attack for herself, was thrown into a corner like Rudric’s subordinates.

“Hey, Ibella… … ?”

I called his name in a trembling voice, but there was no answer.

However, it was clear that Ibella’s condition was serious, as dark red blood continued to flow from her nose and mouth.

“Ahhh… … .”

A neutralized member of Rudrik’s family.

Even Ibella fell unconscious.

Noah slumped down in his seat, left alone in the worst possible situation.

At that time, a huge shadow appeared.

【Right. Are you a stranger?】

A voice that weighs heavily on the air.

It’s Albaric’s voice.

He approached Noah with an ax on his shoulder and immediately spoke to him with a grin.

【If you meet Kazan in the afterlife, say hello to him. All the tricks you used have become meaningless!】

It ended with a cry mixed with hatred.

Albaric’s ax fell on Noah.

Quagga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

An ax flying with fierce force.

The vicious attack unfolding within the area was so fast that it could not be perceived. That’s why Noah closed his eyes tightly without realizing it.

Thinking that this might be the end.

However, Noah’s head was not split open. Just before Albaric’s ax reached Noah, a pure white shield blocked the way.

“Holy Ghost! “Guard your servant!”

A voice I heard somewhere said a loud prayer. The pure white shield that rose up at the same time deflected Albaric’s axe.

【What is happening all of a sudden】

Is it because of the sudden interference?

Albaric’s eyes distorted.

However, it is still too early to express anger. Because there wasn’t just one disruptor.

Parbat! Bababababaak!

A barrage of countless arrows decorating the sky.

Each arrow imbued with aura penetrated various parts of Albaric’s body, leaving scars.

That wasn’t all.

A magic spell that appeared on Albaric’s head.

The magical power of the star, which had never been felt before, suddenly swirled like a storm, and soon turned into a huge explosion that engulfed Albaric.

─────!

A silent explosion followed.

Noah saw this and opened his eyes. This is because I know the identity of the magic that was just used.

“Extreme new star… … !”

Cluster magic classified as strategic magic.

This is the same magic as the symbol of Delia Arpen, one of the seven warriors. And that magic being activated means only one thing.

It meant that those who had been waiting had returned.

“Get behind me!”

“I’m here to save you, Noah!”

Ian blocked the way as if protecting Noah.

Soon after, Perticia also guarded Ian’s back with the spirits. Suddenly, a brilliant light burst out and enveloped Ibella.

“Please leave Ibella to me.”

“Laurea… … .”

A miraculous divinity that heals everything.

Ibella’s seriously broken arms and legs quickly returned to normal.

Noah’s face finally regained its color after seeing this. Just when I thought it was all over, it was thanks to my colleagues who miraculously joined us.

“From now on, it’s our turn to pay back.”

Then, Delia came to Noah’s side.

She engraved numerous magical techniques into the air and infused them with the magic power of the stars. Then, countless star cluster magic struck Albaric like a bombardment.

As if announcing the beginning of a counterattack.
