2.
At the height of the battle in Area 3.
There was a person who found a fountain of magic.
A wizard with a young face. It was Diphlin Chernio, Dean of the Magic Department at Arsene Academy.
“ha.”
A sigh escapes from one’s lips.
The reason was simple.
This was because I had once again set foot in a fountain of magic that I thought I would not visit again for a while.
After opening the abyss and leaving Area 3, I returned after a full day.
‘I originally didn’t plan on coming.’
A large amount of swamp protruding from a crack in the abyss.
Plus, an unknown mud monster.
Currently, District 3 is full of things that make me feel uncomfortable. That’s why I originally planned not to come until the gap in the abyss was closed.
However, things in this world do not go as planned.
She sighed repeatedly and remembered the reason she came here.
‘… … Baruch Celestine.’
A senior mage of the Magic Tower and an aide to Count Dermore, who leads the empire’s investigation team.
As soon as Baruch became aware of the disappearance of the Count and his students, he requested assistance from the Academy.
The problem is that he nominated Deflin.
And the point was that this request for support was a public affair involving the Empire and the Magic Tower. This meant that it was a very difficult request to refuse.
‘If I refused hastily… … .’
You will be at odds not only with the Empire but also with the Magic Tower.
If that happens, even if you are a free-spirited Deflin, it will be a blow.
Let alone the Empire, the moment you lose the Magic Tower, you become no different from the Abyss Worshipers.
After sighing again.
She patted her cheek.
‘No, but it’ll be okay now.’
The fact that the imperial investigation team safely escaped from Area 2 meant that the strange phenomenon that occurred near the abyss gap had disappeared.
After gathering his courage, Deflin took a deep breath and stepped into Area 3.
And to conclude, visiting the Fountain of Magic again was the best choice. Thanks to you, I was able to see a scene like that.
‘That… … !’
A monster as huge as a mountain.
It was a monster that looked like a combination of all the mud monsters that were last seen before leaving Area 3.
‘I think it’s bigger than the last dragon!?’
It is so enormous that it is overwhelming just by looking at its size. Dee Flynn opened her mouth wide.
‘Is that also a member of the Abyss?’
Suddenly, I had that question.
Just looking at its size, I thought it might be the Lord of the Abyss, but that wasn’t the case.
Because there were people currently fighting against that monster.
‘Ulaanbaatar and Dilia Arpen.’
Plus, the next saint, Laurea.
Although they were all prominent figures, they would not be enough to fight against the Lord of the Abyss.
On the other hand, the battle in front of us continues to be quite tense. So much so that it is difficult to predict who will win.
‘Then he must be a member of the Abyss.’
Deflin was sure of that.
The Lord of the Abyss is a truly moving disaster that can destroy a nation just by existing.
It is not at a level that a few students, including Ulan, can deal with. So, Deflin concluded that the mountain-like monster was a servant.
‘For now, let’s keep watching.’
Because you don’t often see this kind of scene.
Deflin’s violet eyes twinkled as he kept his distance far enough to avoid being seen.
The original purpose of finding the leader of the investigation team, Count Dermore, was completely forgotten.
3.
Ulan acquired the twin axes.
He literally went crazy.
As if to vent his anger at not being able to deal with the swamp ruler in his last life, he chopped up the creature’s body at random.
Of course, the swamp ruler did not remain silent. Utilizing his enormous size, he launched an onslaught against Ulan from all directions.
The problem was that everything was blocked.
【Hey, you bastard!】
In this situation, the swamp ruler was unable to disperse the attack. So in the end, he gave up on targeting the other party members and focused all his attacks solely on Ulan.
Only then did the battle become equal.
The swamp ruler did not miss this and pushed Ulan even harder.
And during this process, he happened to be able to see the engraving on Ulan’s back.
【───!】
【That engraving!】
【You guy! You were a descendant of Ludrick!】
Descendant of Ludrick.
Ulan twitched his eyebrows at those words. Because it was a word I had heard before.

‘For sure… … .’
When dealing with the Frost Demon Dragon.
He said that he was a descendant of Ludrick and that he could never be left alive.
And one more thing.
The frost demon dragon and the swamp ruler also called the white wolf Rudric’s hound.
‘What on earth is Ludrick?’
In an instant, my curiosity soared.
But I quickly brushed it off. The important thing right now was not to satisfy curiosity, but to subdue the guy in front of me.
On the other hand, unlike Ulan, it seems to have been quite important business for the ruler of the swamp. To the point where he stopped attacking for a moment and screamed.
【Kazan Rudrik! You damn human!】
【It’s already been a thousand years】
【Are you still planning to defy the abyss!】
A guy who talks nonsense.
But the screaming did not continue.
Because Ulan found an opening and resumed the attack. Afterwards, the two repeatedly fought fierce battles.
Meanwhile, at that time.
Noah was given some leeway.
It was thanks to Ulan’s ability to focus the opponent’s attention solely on himself. So, not wanting to waste this time, he called all his colleagues together.
Information about the Swamp Lord.
Just to share the strategy.
“… … “This is the only way to get rid of him.”
After a long explanation.
The expressions of the group changed subtly.
The first question that came to mind was ‘How do you know that?’
But no one said this out loud.
Because right now, overcoming this situation was more important than resolving the question.
“Well, to summarize the story… … .”
“You’re saying that you can only defeat that monster by destroying three hidden weak points at the same time.”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
Noah nodded.
In addition, I also relayed the location of the source that was revealed when the meteor hit him earlier.
Furthermore, even the fact that each of the three sources is far away.
“So this time, it is difficult to defeat Ulan alone like last time. “We really need your help to take him down.”
Noah’s expression turned serious.
So, just as I was about to ask for help, the three’s answers were one step ahead.
“Then, of course, I have to help.”
“I will cooperate too.”
“What should we do?”
An answer without any hesitation.
Noah smiled slightly, feeling reassured just by hearing it. Then, he pressed his lips again to share her roles.
“First of all, it is urgent to determine the exact location of the source, so I would like to ask Delia to use a 6-star or higher area magic like before.”
The goal is to simultaneously clear away the swamp that hides the source through large-scale tactical magic.
“However, since the swamp is spread out over a wide area right now, I think a spell with a wider range would be better than a meteor fall.”
“Okay, I get it.”
Delia nodded.
Afterwards, Noah continued his explanation again.
“Once the location of the source is revealed, he will definitely try to hide it by regenerating the swamp. At that time, I will use a technique to slow down regeneration.”
Noah said as he unfolded the amulet.
With this, the roles of the two are decided.
The only ones left are Ibella and Ian.
“Then what we have to do is…” … .”
“Please take care of this guy’s origins one by one.”
Noah answered with a solemn face.
In the original, this is what Delia, Laurea, and Perticia did together.
However, now there were not enough people, and there was not enough solidarity to work together.
‘therefore… … .’
This method cannot be used this time.
So I thought of an alternative.
The plan is for Ulan, Ian, and Ibella to each take charge of one source and destroy it. To make this successful, they must work well together.
However, there was no need to worry.
‘Because Ulan remembers his past life.’
It would be quite possible to combine them.
Together with other warriors, he will have intact the experiences and memories of fighting against the abyss for more than a dozen years.
After finishing all my thoughts.
Noah shared the plan of action. It was about the mission that Ibella, Ian, and Ulan would undertake.
Some time after the explanation was over.
“But that is a weakness.”
Ibella slightly raised her hand.
With a face that somehow looks unsure.
“Can I really break it? I can’t even make an Auror yet… … .”
It doesn’t really matter.
The source, which is the weak point of the Lord of the Abyss, can be easily destroyed with just the Mana Sword.
On the other hand, there was a different problem.
The question is whether the current Ibella has the physical ability to follow the moving source.
So, I was thinking about it for a while.
“I will help.”
“… … !”
“Seo, saintess?!”
A familiar voice entered the conversation.
It was Laurea.
Ian looked surprised at the sudden appearance. Delia then tilted her head and asked back.
“But, you lack divine power, don’t you?”
“are you okay. “Because I just filled it with prayer.”
Laurea, holding her hands together, responded as if it was no big deal. As the saying goes, she had fully recovered all of her divine powers.
Furthermore, the blood color returned to normal.
Meanwhile, after finishing answering, Laurea looked back at Ibella and smiled brightly.
“Among the prayers, there is a sacred spell that strengthens the bodies of others. So don’t worry and follow Noah’s plan.”
Ibella had also heard about prayers that strengthen the body. Is that why? Her complexion brightened slightly.
“And since that monster happened to me too, I want to give it a good beating.”
Laurea ground her teeth in exasperation.
That would be natural.
Being covered in unpleasant mud and being dragged into the abyss and almost dying were all caused by the swamp ruler.
And so it ends with Laurea joining.
Delia conveyed Noah’s plan to Ulan through magic. Then, during the battle, he responded by lifting his ax once.
I meant to understand.
“Then let’s start the operation!”
As long as everyone agreed, there was no hesitation.
No sooner had Noah’s cries stopped.
Delia held a top-class magic stone in one hand and quickly drew a magic formula. At the same time, Laurea also focused on reciting prayers.
“… … “May the Holy Spirit bless you.”
The first to be completed was Laurea’s prayer.
As soon as she finished her prayer, a dazzling white light enveloped Ibella’s body.
Paaaaat!
A heavenly sword, divine blessings, and even sacred armor. Ibella was blessed with all kinds of blessings that Laurea could use.
After a while, Ibella said as if she was surprised.
“Wow, my body feels incredibly light.”
“That is the blessing of the next saint.”
Laurea smiled slightly.
Next is Delia’s turn.
The procedure was completed with beads of sweat forming on the forehead and running down the cheeks.
“───.”
After that, the moment when small lips trembled.
Saaaaa!
The sky was covered with stars. A halo of light that illuminates the entire 3rd area. Then, following Delia’s hand gesture, all the starlight fell to the ground.
It is a 7-star cluster magic that can only be used by selected wizards, and is the strongest wide-area magic classified as strategic magic by each country.
『Meteor Shower』
A rain of starlight poured down like rain and swept the battlefield with the force of destroying the world.
Quagga-ga-ga-ga! bang! Quaaaang!
The power to turn the hall into ruins in an instant.
There was nowhere for the swamp ruler to hide.
And the result.
The hidden source has been revealed.
“Ian! Ibella!”
Noah, who confirmed this, hurriedly shouted.
Of course, there was no need to do that.
The moment the source is revealed,
The two rushed towards the source they were each responsible for without any regard for who was first.
【───!】
Meanwhile, the swamp ruler could not hide his embarrassment. Because the people in front of me seemed to be moving with a clear understanding of their weaknesses.
However, I couldn’t be completely surprised.
Since the location of the source was revealed, the swamp had to be regenerated as quickly as possible to hide the source.
So, when I tried to rush the playback.
Blue amulets covered the remains of the swamp.
【─This!】
This is the same amulet that blocked the escape route earlier.
And this time, rather than blocking the escape route, the effect seemed to be preventing the regeneration of the swamp.
The moment I saw this far.
The swamp ruler finally realized.
The purpose of these mortals is not simply to deal with them, but to subdue them.
【Don’t be funny!】
【How dare you damn bugs!】
I felt ridiculously belittled.
The swamp ruler was angry at the very fact that those he thought were worse than scum were trying to eliminate him.
At the same time, the swamp shook violently.
He unleashed an angry attack on Ian and Ibella, who were attacking his source.
Quagga-ga-ga-ga-ga!
The swamp attacks with fierce force.
If it were the usual Ibella, she would have been caught up in an instant, but Hyunjae, who received Laurea’s blessing, was able to avoid it by a narrow margin.
The moment the two approached the source.
Perhaps because he thought he might be defeated, the swamp ruler tried to gather all the resources back to the center.
And along the way.
Ibella found a momentary gap.
‘now!’
My intuition was that I would definitely hit the mark.
Then, with the golden Mana Sword, she swung the sword with all her might.
A sword strike that flies through space.
The moment I saw this scene.
“Holy Ghost!”
As if he had been waiting, Ian raised all his divine powers to the limit.
So, the one step taken.
Although it was only one step, it was clearly the realm of mastery. And the source of the thing is exactly within Ian’s domain.
Now all that’s left is Ulan.
However, there was no need to worry about this.
The moment the two warriors approached the source, he had already reached the final source.
Area of thirty-nine steps.
Furthermore, after activating the transcendental area.
Just before Ibella’s sword pierced the source, Ian and Ulan each swung their weapons.
Sigh! Suddenly! Quack!
The sound of stabbing, cutting and breaking.
It was the sound of the three warriors’ strikes simultaneously destroying the creature’s origins. At the same time, a loud howl was heard from the center of the swamp.
【────!?】
A source completely split in half.
At that moment, the swamp that covered the entire District 3 began to quickly turn into ash.
It was the moment when the monarch met his end.
【no! no!】
【It can’t be like this!】
【The fate granted to me is still…】
A time when I was struggling.
The bright red eyes at the center of the swamp trembled as if struck by lightning.
【Yes, you! Why are you-.】
A startled reaction, as if he had seen a ghost.
The area where the wide-open eyes were directed was Area 4, a fountain of magic that exists beyond the border.
The guy who was staring at that place gathered all his remaining strength and burst into anger.
【Okay, now I understand!】
【You tricked me!】
【Lacusuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!】
Finally, a scream that sounds like a deathly scream.
Bright red eyes cracked. Eventually, the pupils turned into ash and scattered in the air.
4th in monarch order.
That is how the swamp ruler was subdued.
And that moment.
In the ash-filled air, a message visible only to Noah appeared.
【Hidden achievement achieved.】
【Hidden achievement achieved.】
The same situation as when I defeated the Frost Demon Dragon before. So I wasn’t surprised this time.
After a while, the achievement reward was given.
【Achievement】: The one who conquered the swamp
【Conditions】: Subdue the swamp ruler ‘Farus’
【Reward】: Elixir of Balance
The elixir of all-purpose, elixir.
Among them, the elixir named Balance had slightly different effects from regular elixirs.
A regular elixir doubles a character’s characteristics or characteristics, but an elixir of balance only slightly improves all characteristics.
‘If I had to guess, it would be around 20%.’
Just looking at it this way, you might think it is backwards compatible with regular elixirs, but in some ways, it may be better than that.
This is because the Elixir of Balance has no effect on the penalty. In other words, it means that it is a consumable product that is beneficial to take unconditionally.
‘I’ll have to save this.’
At the time when I was making a decision in my mind.
The following notification appeared:
【Achievement】: A warrior who faces the abyss
【Conditions】: Defeat additional Lords of the Abyss while holding the ‘He who rebels against the Abyss’ achievement.
【Reward】: Trial activated
‘Ordeal activated?’
what is this sound?
Noah tilted his head.
Then, a small map unfolded before my eyes. A map showing locations across the continent, centered around Arsene Academy.
There was a place that particularly shined within.
‘That place… … .’
A desert in the southern part of the Leuven Empire.
Among them, it is the place where the capital of a desert kingdom that once boasted its splendid glory was located.
When I was quietly looking at this.
A new message appeared.
[alarm]
*The Hero’s Trial is activated.
*Among characters who are not candidates for a hero, the one with the highest contribution to subjugating the Lord of the Abyss will be granted the qualification of the eighth hero.
Noah looked around.
Ulan, Ibella, Delia, Ian, Laurea.
All five are warrior candidates.
The only person who is not a candidate for a hero is himself.
‘That means… … .’
The bright blue eyes widened.
That time when I looked like I couldn’t believe it.
【Eighth Hero】: Noah Darshen
*Take on the trials of a warrior and prove yourself worthy of becoming a warrior.
“… … !”
The moment I saw the last message.
Noah’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
