4.
Noah and Delia participate in the war.
The battle resumed, but there was no change in the situation.
The reason was simple.
Because the number of monsters pouring out of the abyss was much greater than the number of enemies defeated.
“Ugh, it seems like there are more and more of them.”
“… … “I can’t see the end.”
Noah and Delia muttered with tired faces as they looked at the flock of black monsters.
Ulan also nodded silently.
As if he agrees with both of their opinions.
An abyss that shows no sign of closing.
Plus, there are endless monsters. In this situation, it is not best to fight randomly.
‘If it were my past life… … .’
He probably didn’t care about tactics or anything.
I guess I just focused on defeating the enemy in front of me until I collapsed from exhaustion.
But after meeting other warriors.
Furthermore, as they fought alongside them, the Ulan’s fighting style gradually changed.
‘Of course, I still don’t know tactics.’
Still, we can now consider efficiency.
Ulan scanned the battlefield with cold eyes.
The first thing that came into sight was a monster as big as a building.
‘Large superspecies, corcus.’
A warrior is better at dealing with that than a wizard.
Because Corcus leather has the ability to reduce magic effects.
So, for a wizard to kill it, a much greater amount of magical power is consumed than other monsters.
This is an inefficient fighting method.
‘But I am different.’
Ulan can tear through tough hide and split a corcus in half simply by swinging his spirit-enhanced ax with all his might.
Therefore, it is correct for warriors to deal with entities that are resistant to magic, such as Corcus.
‘On the contrary, dealing with monsters… … .’
The Ulan side is inefficient.
Monsters are magical creatures born from magical power.
Therefore, they appear relatively weak to magic, but since they are intangible, they have considerable resistance to physical attacks.
Of course, Ulan tears it apart with force.
‘But there are a lot of them.’
Just counting the ones on the battlefield right now, there are close to a thousand of them. Even though some of them headed to Zone 1, this is a large number.
In other words, Ulan must swing the ax as many times as possible to destroy the monster. Compared to Corcus, its efficiency is excessively low.
Right after I finished thinking.
Kwasik! Ugh!
Ulan easily split the Corcus in half as it reached the nearest point. Then he spoke to the two girls who were preparing magic in the rear.
“Divide the roles.”
“yes? how?”
“I will protect you as I do now and take charge of the giant guys. So don’t worry about anything else and just focus on reducing the number of monsters.”
As soon as Ulan finished speaking.
Noah and Delia nodded.
It was a proposal so simple that it was embarrassing to call it a strategy, but it was still better than fighting without a plan.
After canceling the magic that was about to be activated.
Delia looked back at Noah.
“Roughly, if we take on half of each, it will be okay, right?”
“Ugh, I’m sorry, but that might be a bit difficult.”
“why?”
“Well, I’ve barely learned any tricks that would be useful in a situation like this.”
Noah’s teacher, the shaman Azuh.
One of the named characters in the original
And Noah, who was taught by Azuh, also possessed only support-specific skills.
‘So I entered Arsene Academy and tried to learn offensive spells.’
Even this failed.
The magic that Noah wanted to learn was because it was possible to sign up for the course starting from the second year.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there are no ways to attack. Because Noah has various curse skills.
‘but… … .’
Monsters are magical creatures that have no substance.
That’s why curses don’t work on them.
Meanwhile, after Noah finished answering, Delia frowned and sighed.
“… … “Noah, really, you’re incompetent.”
“Well, I still know how to break the enemy’s formation or block their escape route! Or gathering the enemies in one place… … .”
Noah keeps talking as if making excuses.
But Delia had already lost interest in her for a long time. Afterwards, she looked at the battlefield again and muttered as she pursed her lips.

“A number like that is a bit daunting… … .”
“Why not use a meteor shower?”
Then.
Ulan, who had cut down the third Corcus, said as if he was throwing it away. Delia asked back with a very surprised face.
“Well, Ulan, how do you know that?”
“I heard it before.”
Did I say that?
Delia tilted her head.
It was worth it.
The meteor shower was one of her concerns that she never told anyone about.
‘But judging from what Ulan knows… … .’
I probably said it before without realizing it.
Otherwise, he, who is unfamiliar with magic, would never have brought up the topic meteor shower first.
After finishing organizing my thoughts.
Delia nodded.
“that’s right. “If that were the case, it would be possible.”
Meteor shower.
This is a 7-star star cluster magic, and as its name suggests, it is a strategic magic that rains down meteors.
However, because the magic technique is difficult and consumes a lot of magical power, it is also a very difficult magic among star cluster magic.
“But I’m still immature.”
All types of magic and witchcraft.
From 7th star onwards, it is the domain of mages.
This means that it is not a level of magic that Delia, who is still at the level of an advanced wizard, would use.
‘Of course, I understand it in theory, but… … .’
If you were to ask whether it was possible to perfectly implement magic, that would not be the case. So Delia repeatedly let out a weak sound.
“And, the magic power is a bit lacking… … .”
“ah! “If it’s magical power, don’t worry.”
Then Noah suddenly intervened.
It was accompanied by a blue glowing amulet.
“I prepared it in advance to prepare for any unexpected situation. Now, take it.”
“What is this?”
“It’s the magic department. It’s literally an amulet containing magical power. “If you put this in your mouth and breathe in, you can absorb the magic power stored inside.”
In other words, an ability similar to a magic potion.
Delia, who understood Noah’s words in an instant, looked at her with new eyes.
“Noah, it’s strangely useful.”
“Uhuhu, right?”
“When it comes to combat, you are incompetent.”
“Ugh, stop calling me incompetent.”
Noah makes a sound of pain with a sad face.
Facing this, Delia burst into light laughter. But after a while, she spoke again with a serious face.
“Ulan. “I’ll be honest.”
“Say it.”
“Actually, I’m not confident.”
While holding on tightly to the hem of her skirt.
Delia bit her lip.
“I never succeeded.”
After answering, she lowered her head.
As if he was sorry for not being of help. I was willing to take any criticism that came my way. But what came back was an unexpected answer.
“Know.”
“Yes?”
“Because if it were you, you wouldn’t have even tried.”
Since I’ve never tried it, it’s inevitable that I’ll never succeed. Hearing Ulan’s words, Delia opened her eyes wide.
“Uh, how could that… … .”
“I heard it before.”
Ending with the same answer as before.
Ulan quietly remembered. A story she heard from Delia in her past life.
“When it comes to dividing realms by level of magic, an ordinary wizard is the standard. “Those who receive Mana’s love are a little different.”
One night, the day the battle ended.
After building a bonfire, Ibella and I talked about our past regrets.
At that time, Delia immediately said this.
“In other words, regardless of the level, if you fully understand the theory of magic and have a sufficient amount of magic power, even an advanced wizard can use 7-star magic.”
Delia was suddenly giving an explanation about the state of magic. She immediately looked depressed and muttered with a sigh.
“That makes me regret it even more. If I had at least tried using a meteor shower back then, I could have saved more soldiers… … 」
I blame myself for not being able to save more lives through hindsight. Ulan ended his reminiscence by recalling the regrets that Delia had in her past life.
And then he opened his mouth.
“Okay.”
“… … what?”
“It doesn’t matter even if I fail.”
“why… … ?”
“Regardless of whether the magic is successful or not, the fact that we will win this battle does not change.”
It just takes a little more time.
After blowing off the head of the monster that repeatedly attacked, Ulan spoke calmly.
“So give it a try.”
“… … .”
“So that one day, when I need to use a meteor shower, I can use it without hesitation.”
Then, you will be able to relieve some of the regrets you have kept from your past life.
Right after I finished everything I wanted to say.
Ulan focused on the battle again.
Meanwhile, around that time.
Delia looked at Ulan’s back with trembling eyes. She then clenched her fists.
‘Ulan is right.’
She didn’t challenge the unknown.
If I had to give a reason, it was because of the expectations of those around me and the burden of failure.
The expectation was that a genius wizard from the principality would naturally succeed. And the resulting burden was pressing heavily on his shoulders.
‘however… … .’
Ulan was the first person to tell me that it was okay to fail. The moment I heard this, the burden that had been weighing on my body melted away like snow.
Shoulders feel lighter.
Delia smiled faintly.
For some reason, I felt like it was possible now. After a while, she opened her mouth with a look of determination on her face.
“… … “I need some time.”
“I will earn as much as I can.”
“I’ll help you too!”
Ulan and Noah answered simultaneously.
As if he was just waiting for those words. Afterwards, Noah spread an amulet around Delia.
“What’s this?”
“It’s the true law.”
With a short answer.
A detailed explanation followed.
“It’s a method that blocks surrounding sounds and the flow of magical energy. To put it simply, you can think of it as a technology that helps you focus solely on magic.”
I don’t know the exact effect, but I definitely felt the desire to help myself. Delia nodded her head wordlessly.
“Whoa.”
Starting with inhaling and exhaling.
Delia concentrated.
After mentally calculating the calculations needed to complete the spell, I prepared the magic step by step.
And in between.
Noah, who had completed his formation, looked at the abyss in the distance.
‘How long do you plan on coming out?’
Monsters that have no intention of shrinking.
Looking at these black people swarming around like a swarm of ants gave me goosebumps.
But I wasn’t worried.
Ulan was still alive and well, and Corcus, which was one of the concerns, was easily defeated.
‘Surely there won’t be a monarch?’
Then an ominous thought suddenly occurred to me.
Noah hastily shook his head. It was to shake off the anxiety that suddenly came upon her.
Then.
Suddenly, the spirit of the monsters changed.
[Crrrrrr!]
At the same time, all the monsters were glaring at us.
To be precise, the gaze was fixed on Delia.
This is probably because as the meteor shower magic was created, an enormous magical power reaction was detected.
Soon, they rushed towards Delia with terrifying murderous intent.
However, they forgot one thing.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Currently, there is Ulan in front of Delia.
Holding an ax in both hands, he tore and destroyed the monster with a merciless attack.
Did he realize that he could not achieve his goal as long as Ulan was there? The monsters screamed as if trying to break Delia’s concentration.
[Quaaaaa!]
[Kihyaaaa!]
It was truly a terrible voice.
It was similar to the sound of a blade scraping mercilessly on an iron plate. And that wasn’t the only reason for the horror.
“Ugh! Ears, ears… … .”
Their voices are made of magical power.
Is that why? Even the simple act of shouting seemed like magic.
The pain is like piercing your ear with an awl.
Noah frowned and took a step closer to Delia. She wanted to be affected by the sound-blocking method.
This choice was a godsend.
“However much! Come!”
A cry that resonates throughout the battlefield.
The warrior’s shout uttered to counter the threat of monsters created a strong shock wave.
Quagga-ga-ga-ga-ga!
A shout filled with the spirit of a master.
The resulting shock wave was powerful enough to tear the monsters’ bodies to pieces. However, Ulan seemed not to be satisfied and shouted as loud as he could.
“Not one! “I won’t let you go!”
The monsters nearby were unable to withstand the shock wave and exploded. It is so powerful that even Corcus, a large upper species, stumbles.
Noah was truly relieved.
‘It’s a good thing I laid out the strategy.’
My eardrums almost blew out like at the entrance ceremony. Also, if it weren’t for Jinbeop, Delia’s magic would have broken off midway.
A time when I was relieved and my heart was pounding.
Flash!
The magic spell engraved in the air shone.
It means that the magic is complete.
At the same time, an enormous amount of magical energy was absorbed as if through a magic trick. Then Ulan looked behind her and shouted something.
‘Noah! ‘They run away.’
After figuring out the general meaning from the shape of the mouth.
Soon, Noah saw monsters scattering in all directions. They are probably spreading out to prepare for the upcoming meteor shower.
“We can’t leave it like that.”
This situation was expected.
So I made preparations. Noah took out all the talismans in his pocket and threw them toward the battlefield.
Pababababat!
A talisman that scatters to chase away the scattered monsters.
Soon, Noah’s technique was revealed.
‘Chain of species.’
It is a 6-star high-level spell that links monsters of the same type together and pulls them to one place.
For your information, in the original work, it was famous enough to be called a skill that provides food and value to the shaman class.
‘It’s an essential skill for sheep hunting.’
In particular, it is a skill that shows its true value only when the door to the abyss is opened.
Because, according to the setting of the original work, all monsters of the abyss belong to the type called ‘abyss’.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Slam!
A chain made of magical energy wrapped around all the monsters on the battlefield. Then they all started pulling towards the center.
‘Although Corcus was not captured… … .’
Except for this monster, no other monster could escape the chains of the species. Around the time when the monsters became unable to move.
“―――.”
Delia pursed her lips.
At the same time, the sky was covered with starlight.
It was almost noon, but the brightly shining starlight obscured even the sun. And at Delia’s fingertips, they all fell to the ground.
Huh! Coo coo coo coo!
A flash of light splits the sky and tears apart the clouds.
Countless star fragments were engulfed in flames and headed toward the battlefield. The monsters struggled to break free from their chains, but it was a futile struggle.
Finally, the moment the first star arrived.
A one-sided massacre began.
Quaaaang! Bang bang bang! Quang!
A fragment of a star being thrown down mercilessly.
Meteors poured down like rain and swept the battlefield with the force of destroying the world.
“It’s been a while since I last saw you.”
The sight of the battlefield being completely devastated is always a sight to behold. Ulan grinned.
Some time after that.
The battlefield was filled with cloudy dust.
Afterwards, the wind cleared it away, and the terrible scene was immediately revealed.
There wasn’t one.
The monsters had already turned to dust and dispersed, and even Corcus, who was known to have strong magic resistance, turned into a rag and died.
Destruction of over a thousand enemies.
Noah swallowed dry saliva.
‘This is it…’ … .’
Star Witch, Delia Arpen.
A great wizard who will later rise to the top of the continent.
I trembled involuntarily, feeling as if I had caught a glimpse of a great warrior.
“haha!”
Meanwhile, the protagonist who created this overwhelming scene was breathing heavily, as if he was going to run out of breath at any moment.
Magic power that is on the verge of depletion.
Although she must have felt painful, Delia’s mouth was filled with a bright smile.
“I really succeeded.”
It was a proud smile.
As if he was thrilled with his own accomplishments. Delia looked at her Ulan with a still bright face.
“It’s all thanks to Ulan.”
“okay. Good job.”
Ulan also smiled softly.
With this in mind, if the day comes to use a meteor shower someday, I will use magic without delay.
Then you will regret less than your past life.
After thinking, Ulan patted Delia on the shoulder and turned around. To make sure the dying monsters breathe.
“Leave the rest to me.”
“… … huh. please.”
Finally, a weak answer.
Delia collapsed.
Fortunately, Noah, who was next to him, helped him, so he avoided falling to the floor.
After carefully laying her down.
Noah shouted bravely.
“Ulan! “Don’t worry about Delia.”
“i get it. “Please.”
“yes! I will be protecting… … uh?”
Noah, who continued speaking, let out a blank exclamation.
With a quite surprised expression. Ulan, who discovered this, asked back with a puzzled look.
“What’s going on?”
“Ma, the magic power isn’t moving!”
“what?”
Noah screams like he’s screaming.
That’s not all.
Aside from the fact that the magical power in the body simply stopped moving, all magical energy flows in the surrounding area stopped at once.
As if it was frozen solid.
‘Wait, frozen?’
Noah’s eyes widened.
It was because something suddenly occurred to me. Regarding enemies who possess these very abilities.
Among them, as far as Noah knows, there is only one being that can freeze the flow of magic power in this range.
“S-No way… … !”
Trembling eyes looked into the abyss.
Then at that moment.
The gap widened further.
Quad deuk!
The gap is twice as large as when it first appeared. But the real change started now.
Kwasik! Oh my!
The air was torn apart with a loud noise.
At the same time, nine eyes flashed from beyond the much larger gap.
Eyes of different colors.
The moment I encountered this.
“… … !”
I was gripped by an indescribable fear.
There wasn’t even a scream.
My mind turns completely white, as if I can’t even allow myself to be lost in any kind of thought.
After a while, the owner of the pupil appeared.
Nine pupils.
Two pairs of wings.
Menacing horns and claws. Pure white scales that stand out firmly. It is an intimidating being that makes the large higher species, Corcus, seem cute.
Seeing the despair emerging from beyond the abyss.
His presence was engraved in my mind.
『Lord of the Abyss』
One of the six monarchs who rule the Abyss.
The moment I recognized this.
A tremendous sense of intimidation pressed down on my body.
Tight breathing. It feels as if someone else has violently grabbed my lungs.
Exciting! Exciting!
A heart pounding like it might explode.
The fear and despair that he thought had disappeared overtook Noah’s entire body.
Delia’s reaction was no different from hers.
The evidence was the face tinged with despair.
‘No matter how Ulan… … .’
It would be impossible to win against that.
To win without damage against the Lord of the Abyss, you must have all seven heroes.
So, Ulan’s expression must have hardened by now. It would be like facing an opponent with no chance of winning.
But the moment I looked at Ulan.
“… … ?!”
Noah couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
His complexion was not stiff at all. He just twists the corners of his mouth and smiles.
‘Ooh, are you smiling?’
As he said, Ulan was smiling.
At the same time, my heart was pounding violently.
An intense feeling of uplift that blooms with excitement.
From the moment he discovered the bastard, Ulan couldn’t stop laughing with joy.
‘That guy… … .’
A monster that freezes mana.
Every wizard’s nightmare.
A monarch that he was unable to subdue in his last life.
That’s why Ulan loudly spat out that guy’s name with a life-threatening expression on his face.
“Frost Demon Dragon—!”
A feeling of joy spreads across your face.
Ulan grinned at the opportunity to seek revenge once again. It was the most belligerent smile he had worn since entering his academy.
