During that moment, suddenly, the momentum of the monsters took a drastic turn.
[Krrrrr!]
Simultaneously, all the monsters turned their attention in this direction; to be precise, their gazes were fixed on Dilia. Perhaps they sensed the massive mana reaction as Dilia's Meteor Shower spell was created.
Soon enough, they lunged for her with terrifying murderous intent; however, the monsters forgot one thing
Kaaaaaah!
the fact that Ulan was now standing in front of Dilia. Axe in hand, he unleashed a merciless onslaught, tearing and shredding the monsters.
Did the monsters realize that they wont be able to achieve their goal as long as Ulan was there? They screamed as if to break Dilia's concentration.
[Kaaaaaaaah!]
[Keehhhhhhh!]
Truly horrifying voices. It was similar to the sound of a blade scraping against a steel plate, akin to rasp, and the horror wasn't just because of that.
"Ugh! My, my ears..."
The creatures' voices were composed of mana. Was it because of that? Even the act of merely screaming approached like magic; a pain similar to needles piercing the ears.
Noah, furrowing her brows, took a step toward Dilia. It was to experience the sound-blocking effect of the tactical formation together; this choice was a move of divine wisdom.
"Bring it on! Come ooooon!"
A battle cry echoed through the battlefield.
In response to the warrior's shout, aiming to counter the threat of the monsters, a powerful shockwave occurred.
Kwagga-kwagga-kwagga!
A scream imbued with the spirit of a master; the resulting shockwave was powerful enough to tear the monsters' bodies apart. However, Ulan was not satisfied and shouted with all his might.
"Not a single one! Will be left behind!"
The monsters near him could not withstand the shockwave and exploded. The force was so great that even a massive, upper-grade Corcus staggered back.
Noah was genuinely relieved.
'I'm glad I laid down the formation.'
She nearly lost her eardrums, just like at the entrance ceremony. If it weren't for the formation, Dilia's magic would have been cut off midway.
As she was patting her chest in relief
Flash!
the spell carved in the air shone; the spell was complete.
Along with it, an enormous amount of mana was absorbed as if it were sucked into the spell. At that time, Ulan turned around and shouted something.
Noah! The monsters are running away.
After understanding the general meaning by lip reading, soon, Noah saw the monsters scattering in all directions in her field of vision. It seemed like they were dispersing to prepare for the falling Meteor Shower.
"We can't let that happen."
This situation was anticipated and preparations were already made. Noah took out all the amulets from her pocket and threw them towards the battlefield.
Pababababat!
The amulets scattered, chasing away the scattering monsters.
Soon after, Noah's magic manifested.
The Chain of Species.
A Rank-6 spell that weaves a chain between monsters of the same species and draws them together. In the original game, it was a staple skill for the Shaman class, and was so popular that it was even called its existential value.
'It's an essential skill for hunting in groups.'
especially when the Gates to the Abyss opens, it shows its true value.
That's because, according to the setting of the original work, all the monsters of the abyss belonged to the 'abyss' species.
Shhhrrrrrrrrr! Clink!
A chain composed of mana wrapped around all the monsters present on the battlefield. Then, it began to pull them all towards the center.
'Although I couldn't catch Corcus...'
Except for it, none of the monsters escaped the Chain of Species. By the time the monsters were unable to move,
"............."
Dilia's lips moved.
And at the same time, the sky was covered in starlight.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
Kwajik! Kwajik! Kwajik!
With a loud noise, the air was torn apart. At the same time, from beyond the now much larger gap, nine eyes flashed; eyes of different colors.
At the moment they met each other
"......!"
an indescribable horror gripped her.
She couldn't even scream; as if unable to accept even being engrossed in thought, the mind turned completely white.
A moment later, the owner of the eyes appeared.
Nine eyes.
Two pairs of wings.
Menacing horns and claws.
Tough, protruding white scales from the body.
A being so imposing that even the massive upper-grade monster like Corcus would feel cute.
Seeing the despair that emerged from beyond the abyss, its presence was etched into Noah's mind.
Ruler of the Abyss
One of the six lords who rule the Abyss.
The moment she recognized it, an overwhelming sense of dread crushed her body; her breath was cut off. It was as if someone else was holding her lungs in a vicious grip.
Thump! Thump!
Her heart pounded as if it would burst.
The fear and despair that she thought had disappeared enveloped Noah's entire body.
Dilia's reaction was no different from hers; the despair was evident in her complexion.
'Even if it's Ulan...'
it will be impossible to win against that thing. It would take all seven warriors to defeat the Ruler of the Abyss unscathed.
So, by now, Ulan's expression would have hardened. It must be a situation where victory seems impossible.
However, the moment Noah looked at Ulan
"......?!"
she couldn't help but widen his eyes; his complexion didn't stiffen in the slightest, just the corners of his mouth twisted into a smile.
'Uh, is he smiling?'
Just as the words implied, Ulan was indeed smiling; his face twisted into a smile from the moment he spotted the being. His heart was beating wildly. The intense feeling of excitement blossomed along with the wave of relief.
From the moment he found the being, Ulan couldn't stop his laughter of joy.
'He...'
A monster that freezes mana; the nightmare of all mages.
The Ruler that he couldn't defeat in his previous life.
That's why Ulan, with a face full of murderous intent, bellowed the beings name loudly.
"Frost Dragon!"
A face blooming with the emotion of ecstasy.
Once again, given the opportunity for revenge and redemption, Ulan chuckled. It was the most aggressive smile he had shown since entering the academy.
