4.
Meanwhile, at a time when Noah was panicking.
Ulan silently looked at the cloudy ash. Unlike when he defeated the Frost Demon Dragon, his face looks quite peaceful.
It was worth it.
At that time, I faced the Frost Demon Dragon alone, but this time I fought with my friends. Therefore, fatigue is bound to be relatively much less.
It was then.
“This… … .”
I saw something sparkling under my feet.
Sphere split in half. Contains all the power and essence of the swamp ruler.
It is the source of the swamp.
Afterwards, he gathered the broken sources in one place.
When we collected the sources that Ian and Ibella had destroyed, there were a total of six.
“That’s a good thing.”
Ulan grinned.
Including him, there were six colleagues who fought against the swamp ruler. In response, Ulan gathered everyone and distributed the broken sources.
“Take one each.”
Noah, Ibella, and Delia.
And even Laurea.
The five companions accepted the piece of origin handed to them by Ulan. Then they all asked back with puzzled expressions.
“huh? This must be… … .”
“Isn’t that monster’s weakness?”
“Why are you giving me this?”
The group asked questions as if they were puzzled.
Ulan responded immediately.
“In our tribe, all members who participate in the hunt share the body of the prey.”
The answer was insufficient to resolve the question.
Of course, I understood the concept of dividing the body of prey, but the problem lies next.
“Look, I know what you mean.”
“What are you asking me to do with this?”
It was worth asking a question.
That’s because the broken source didn’t seem to be particularly useful other than sparkling.
As soon as everyone’s questions are over.
Ulan answered without hesitation.
“Eat.”
“… … yes?”
Laurea has a blank expression.
She wasn’t the only one surprised.
Not only Ian and Ibella, but even Delia, who had quite an unusual eating habits, widened their eyes.
“Eat this… … ?”
“No matter how you look at it, it’s not food, is it?”
“Why on earth?!”
When the response came back that they couldn’t understand, Ulan revealed the reason why he had to eat the root.
“good for health.”
“… … .”
Everyone was speechless.
No matter how good it is for your health, you’re eating by-products from monsters of the abyss. This is because they could not understand it with their common sense.
Is that why?
Even Ibella, who had accepted Ulan’s words without question, refuted in confusion.
“No, other than these, there are plenty of foods that are good for your body.”
“For example?”
“Hmm, representative examples include eel, octopus, oysters, and chives.”
Why are these foods so nutritionally biased to one side?
Noah narrowed his eyes. Ulan, on the other hand, shook her head and said:
“It’s a little different from those.”
“How is it different?”
“If you eat this, you can become stronger.”
Ulan clearly felt this incident.
It is impossible to completely defeat the Lord of the Abyss alone.
Of course, he defeated the Frost Demon Dragon alone, but this time, without everyone’s help, even Ulan would not have been able to do it on his own.
‘So we must become stronger together.’
That’s why I gave away the fragments of the origin.
Only when all seven warriors become strong will they be able to overcome the failures of their past lives. Meanwhile, contrary to Ulan’s thoughts, his colleagues reacted negatively.
“Okay, but this is a bit…” … .”
“I think it will actually do more harm than good.”
It seems quite unpleasant because it is a by-product of the Lord of the Abyss.
If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do.
We have no choice but to show it through actions rather than words.

After making his decision, Ulan put the fragment of the source of Dajjagojja into his mouth.
“… … !”
“Ji, you really want to eat it?!”
“And then I get an upset stomach!”
Colleagues are surprised.
On the other hand, Ulan paid no heed and munched on the fragments of the source. He then swallowed it, closed his eyes, and concentrated.
The enormous magical power of the source.
The purpose was to convert this magical power that entered the body into one’s own. After some time, Ulan, who had finished absorbing her magical power, opened her closed eyes.
‘Is it about half?’
Before defeating the swamp ruler.
There were a total of three completed Ulan spirits.
And now, about half of them have been added. This is an instantaneous leap over the time that would have taken at least 5 years using a normal method.
At that time, someone poked him in the waist.
“Ooh, Ulan.”
“Just now, that was… … .”
It was Noah and Delia.
Since the two could see magical power, they were the first to notice Ulan’s change.
“Did you see a change in magical power?”
“Yes, I saw it.”
“What on earth did you do?”
The two asked back with surprised faces.
Ulan answered simply.
“It is just as you saw it.”
By eating a piece of the origin and absorbing the magic power within, it became stronger than before.
That was all Ulan did.
Meanwhile, when Noah and Delia seemed agitated, there was someone who willingly stepped forward.
It was a girl with turquoise eyes.
“Then I’ll eat it too.”
“Hey, Ibella?!”
“Ulan showed us a demonstration. And I will do anything to become stronger.”
To stand confidently next to Ulan.
Ibella made up her mind.
Afterwards, he opened his mouth slightly and pushed in the piece of origin he had received from Ulan. A hard feeling on the tongue. It feels similar to an apple.
I don’t think it tastes particularly good?
The moment I pursed my lips at that thought.
“Wow!”
Nausea soared reflexively.
I expected it to be tasteless, but the taste was so terrible that even that expectation was shattered.
I feel like I want to spit it out right away.
But when she saw Ulan, she couldn’t bear it anymore, so she tried to swallow the source.
gulp!
Even after it went down my throat, the horrible taste continued to linger in my mouth. Ibella let out a rough breath.
“haha!”
It was so excruciating that I even had tears in my eyes.
Meanwhile, Laurea asked back with a slightly frightened face at Ibella’s reaction.
“Uh, how do you feel?”
“… … “It’s so tasteless.”
“Compared to a spider?”
“I’d rather just eat spiders all month long.”
Oh my god, that much?!
Laurea’s face turned pale.
However, the pain in her senses of taste was momentary, and Ybella, who was catching her breath, suddenly opened her eyes wide.
“… … !”
The moment the source went down my throat.
This is because an enormous amount of magical power suddenly swept through my entire body. At the time I felt as if all my blood was boiling hot.
Someone placed their palm on my back.
“Concentrate, Ibella.”
It’s none other than Ulan’s voice.
He let the spirit flow straight away.
It was to help Ibella better absorb the magic that entered her body.
“Don’t miss a thing and absorb it.”
With Ulan’s help, Ibella calmly absorbed the magic power. Afterwards, she succeeded in absorbing all of her magical power.
“Whoa.”
Ibella sighs heavily.
She managed to absorb all the magic and wiped the sweat that had formed on her forehead.
“Are there any changes?”
“Yes. “I feel somehow full of power.”
It feels like my whole body is full of magical energy, like a fully inflated balloon. Nodding her head, Bella soon smiled brightly.
“I want to swing the sword right away.”
The fatigue that was weighing down my body completely disappeared.
Meanwhile, Noah and Delia, who were seeing Ibella’s change, widened their eyes again.
‘Oh my god, what magical power… … !’
Until a little while ago, the magical power was only that of a mid-level knight, but now it has surpassed that of a high-level knight and is approaching expert level.
A truly enormous increase.
The moment they saw Ibella’s change, determination appeared on the other party members’ faces as well.
“Wow! What does it taste like… … !”
“I feel like I’m going to throw up.”
After each person overcomes one hurdle.
With Ulan’s help, the four men and women safely absorbed the magic power of the source into their bodies.
Some time after that.
The first to notice the change was Delia.
“The magic vessel has grown.”
“That’s fascinating. Even so, I would never have thought that it would extend to a vessel of divinity.”
Ian had a similar reaction.
If I were to be honest, I felt like I reached the end from the beginning of Expert in one go. The change was also true of Laurea, whose expression looked like she was about to vomit.
Looking at the three in wonder.
Noah nodded.
‘Of course it is.’
Magical power and divine power are only different in nature, but in fundamental terms they are equal energies.
‘Also, in the original work, both magical power and divine power were written as MP.’
That means there isn’t much difference.
The only thing that has a different notation is witchcraft.
Based on the original work, the shaman’s main power was expressed as AP, not MP.
‘I don’t know the exact reason.’
It wouldn’t be that important anyway.
So, after shaking off the distracting thoughts, I carefully observed the changes that had occurred in me.
‘I think it went up by about 50%.’
At this level, it can be called an elixir.
At the same time, I felt strange.
The fact that absorbing the monarch’s source has this effect was something I couldn’t find even after looking through all of the strategy bulletin boards for the original.
‘That’s not the only difference from the original.’
Noah looked at Ulan.
To be exact, the white ax he was holding. This is the very ax pulled out from the swamp ruler.
I couldn’t even see that in the original.
Because the swamp ruler has never had a weapon in the first place.
‘And one more thing.’
There are differences from the original.
The position of ‘Eighth Hero’ given due to the achievement of defeating the swamp ruler.
‘If the number decreased from seven, it decreased, but it never increased.’
Why did this happen?
Noah had a puzzled expression.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer, so I shook my head and shook off the distracting thoughts.
‘finally… … .’
There was something that bothered me.
These are the words the swamp ruler uttered just before he met his end. He cried out someone’s name, saying he had tricked him.
Noah remembered the name.
‘… … Lacus.’
Lacus claman duratus.
This is the true name of the Howling Eyeball, one of the Lords of the Abyss and the 6th highest ranking Lord.
Noah continued to be concerned about why that name came from the swamp ruler and why he cried out that he had been deceived by Lacus.
But the worries did not last long.
There were simply not enough clues to resolve the question. So, when I had no choice but to come out of my thoughts, Ian muttered as if relieved.
“Anyway, this is all over.”
The group nodded at those words.
Because the monster has been eliminated, and the gap in the abyss has been closed.
That was when I breathed a sigh of relief.
“No, it’s not over yet.”
Ulan shook his head.
It was with eyes overflowing with fighting spirit.
Meanwhile, not only Ian but also the other party members tilted their heads at the unexpected remark.
“yes? “What does that mean?”
“It’s not over, are you?”
“Are you saying there is another enemy left?”
Laurea asked as if she was surprised.
Ulan immediately said yes.
“There is a hiding rat.”
“If you’re a rat… … .”
“The culprit behind this incident.”
Bright red eyes sparkling fiercely.
The moment the word culprit came out, there was a name that was clearly engraved in everyone’s minds.
And that moment.
Ulan maximized the spirit of his entire body.
After adjusting my posture, I quietly looked at the sky in the direction of Area 4. Then he threw the ax with all his might.
Whoa!
A white ax flying at high speed.
The Ax of Destruction, Oseda.
Ose, who flew through the air with terrifying momentum, immediately circled the sky and returned to Ulan like a boomerang.
Eventually, it was time to capture Ose again.
A black object fell to the floor in the empty air.
“Ouch!”
A girl with a young face who fell with a scream.
At that moment, everyone’s expressions hardened.
Because the girl was Diphlin Chernio, the culprit of this incident that Ulan had mentioned.
5.
Before the swamp ruler was subdued.
Deflin, who was watching the battle from afar, looked exhausted.
‘It’s not the first time I’ve seen a fight… … .’
It’s truly incredible every time I see it.
No, it would be correct to say that he is ignorant.
A fighting method that seeks to destroy only the enemy in front of you, without caring about yourself getting hurt.
What was even more surprising was that even if a wound occurred, it was quickly healed due to its amazing resilience.
‘Maybe that’s magic too.’
Unless you are a giant from legend, there is no way your wounds will heal that quickly.
In other words, Ulan is currently continuing the battle while healing his wounds with magic.
Then.
Suddenly, the magic power of Area 3 vibrated. At the same time, Deflin’s gaze turned to the sky.
‘That… … !’
A strategic magic that only the chosen can use.
It is a 7-star star cluster magic, ‘Meteor Shower’.
‘They’re already using the meteor shower?’
Deflin’s eyes widened.
It was worth it.
Because using 7-star magic means you have reached the level of a mage. At the age of seventeen, he has already reached the level of a mage.
Even I, who was once called the greatest genius in the Magic Tower, wasn’t this fast.
The moment I realized this.
A hint of emotion passed through Deflin’s eyes. It was an emotion called jealousy.
But even for a moment.
I saw a new sight that caught my eye.
‘… … !’
The appearance of Ulan avoiding the crazy bombardment of starlight. No, it would be more accurate to say that the meteor shower was deflected away from Ulan.
How?
Curiosity sparked in her eyes.
‘Could it be that he is wearing a protective shield?’
The best guess at the moment is that it has a protective shield covering its entire body that repels even meteor showers.
But this doesn’t make sense.
This is because deflecting a 7-star cluster magic was impossible even for the Archmage Diphlin.
‘Do you happen to have two bowls?’
If so, it might be possible.
If Diphlin also had two bowls, it seemed theoretically possible. After finishing her guess, she pursed her lips.
‘Ugh, it’s a waste after all.’
I really wanted to research why I was able to stay safe even if I had two vessels in my body.
But that can’t be done anymore.
Because Ulan has become a huge tycoon.
‘If I had known this would happen, I would have rushed.’
I feel like I was saved and turned into shit.
Deflin was in tears.
Meanwhile, around that time.
A tearing sound was heard from afar.
It was a sight of a huge mountain-like swamp monster turning into ash and collapsing.
‘I subdued it faster than I thought.’
Well, I guess that would be worth it.
Ulan already has similar experience.
After completing her illusion, her eyes sparkled as she looked at the ash coloring Area 3.
‘Ashes in the world.’
That is a helpful material for experiments.
Because it contains powerful thoughts.
So, if you combine it with the dragon ash you obtained last time, you might be able to artificially create an abyss creature.
‘I’ll collect that later…’ … .’
I have to deal with the original purpose.
The task is to find Count Dermore, the leader of the empire’s investigation team. So, just as he was about to turn around and leave.
‘huh?’
For a moment, I felt eyes on me.
He made eye contact with Ulan.
‘Oh, no way.’
It’s probably an illusion.
Because the distance is so far away.
In addition, Deflin is currently hiding his appearance using stealth magic. So he thought there was no way he would ever be caught.
Until the ax came flying.
“… … !?”
Diphlin, startled, hurriedly used flight magic. But just as his body was floating to a certain extent, something unexpected happened.
Support! pop!
The flying magic technique was destroyed.
That’s not all. The hiding spell that covered Diphlin’s body was also shattered.
‘W-what suddenly… … !’
A time when I was taken aback by an unexpected event.
Deflin, who was floating in the air, fell straight down.
“Ouch!”
A significant impact felt when hitting the ground.
Naturally, a short scream came out.
“Ugh, butt… … .”
Deflin is crying.
However, the cruelty did not last long.
It was because I spotted Ulan approaching this way. D. Flynn smiled and waved his hand awkwardly.
“Ahaha, hello.”
“… … .”
No answer came back.
Ulan simply approaches with a fearsome force. Perhaps sensing an unusual atmosphere, she hesitated and retreated.
“Seeing you in a place like this, by coincidence… … .”
Deflin gives a firm greeting.
But at that moment.
She had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. It was because an ax suddenly flew at me.
