Chapter 69. clash (5)
6.
“Why is this guy here?”
Sirpi Ludric.
Ulan and the others gathered around her as she fell unconscious. At that time, Delia seemed to have remembered something of hers and added a guess.
“Hmm, I guess I got caught up in it while playing the role of a guide.”
“Still, it looks like there are no injuries.”
“of course. “I thought it was Noah, so I gave it magic as meticulously as possible.”
Delia responds softly.
The group, including her, have all passed the ordeal and gained power comparable to that of a master or archmage.
On the other hand, Noah was an exception.
Even though he passed the ordeal, he only possessed the power of a mage at best. So Delia used more magical power to protect Noah.
“But, I never thought it would be him.”
Because this place is underground, it is difficult to receive star magic. Delia frowned at her, thinking that she wasted magical energy for no reason.
That was when the conversation came to an end.
“Wait a minute, didn’t you say there were eight people?”
“huh. that’s right.”
“Then where is Noah?”
Ibella looked around and asked curiously. Delia looked at her as if asking why she was asking such an obvious question.
“Yes, it must be up there.”
“I think the same thing. “If it hadn’t been swept away when it fell, it would have been left on the ground.”
Ian also agreed with Delia.
In other words, the only ones who have fallen here now are the seven heroes from the original and Sirphy Ludric. This means that the rest were not caught up in the fall.
When I finished understanding the situation.
“Uhmmm.”
Suddenly, Sirpi turned over.
She let out a low moan and soon her eyelids fluttered. Then her tightly closed eyes opened little by little.
“… … uh?”
After a while, a dazed voice came out from Sirpi’s lips. She blinked her eyes a few times and then looked perplexed.
“W-Where am I? Why do I… … .”
“Calm down. “I’ll explain everything.”
To Sirpi, who was surprised, Ulan briefly explained the current situation on behalf of the group.
“It cracked and crashed.”
“… … hey. “You summarized it too much.”
Sven glanced at Ulan in bewilderment.
Next, Delia spoke about the current situation on behalf of him who was not used to explaining.
After explaining the whole story.
Sirpi nodded as if he finally understood. The evidence was that much of the confusion on his face had disappeared.
“Then ask again.”
“yes? What?”
“Do you know where this is?”
After seeing that Sirpi’s condition had improved, Ulan asked about the identity of this place. But sadly, Sirpi shook her head.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not sure. “It was so dark in the first place that I couldn’t see anything.”
It may sound like an excuse or an excuse, but what Sirpi said was true. In reality, it was strangely dark here.
“And I don’t know if I’m mistaken.”
“Tell me.”
“Don’t you feel like darkness is approaching little by little? “Like a swamp filling up.”
“Darkness is coming?”
“Yes, even now, when I look over there… … .”
Sirpi pointed ahead with his finger.
Then I saw a scene where the darkness was truly writhing. Like a living creature.
When I felt a strange sense of déjà vu at this sight, I suddenly heard a startled voice.
“Wait a minute, that can’t be…” … !”
The blue-green eyes grew wide.
It was Ibella. Seeing his shocked appearance, Perticia asked curiously.
“Have you noticed anything?”
In response to Perticia’s question, Ibella slowly shook her head. As if that were the case. She then looked back at her group, recalling her old memories.
“Isn’t that a similar situation to back then?”
“yes? “When did you say that?”
“A long time ago, when Laurea came to the Academy for an exchange event. “She was like this when we went to the Fountain of Magic together.”
Ibella explains passionately.
Perticia just tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
Of course, it would be natural.
She wasn’t there at the time.
On the other hand, Delia’s reaction was different.
She thought back to the time when she and Ibella had struggled together and faced the abyss, and asked back as if checking if this memory was correct.
“When Laurea fell into the abyss?”
“that’s right. At that time, darkness came from Area 3 just like it does now! Also, torches and magic could not illuminate the darkness.”

Immediately after Ibella’s story ends.
Delia, recalling the situation at the time, immediately drew up a magic trick. It was a 1-star star cluster magic that brightened up the entire area.
Paaaaat!
The magic that was activated quickly brightened the surroundings, but it soon disappeared. Delia, who was observing this phenomenon closely, frowned.
“I guess it’s the correct answer.”
“Right. Was it an abyssal erosion phenomenon?”
Ulan muttered, rubbing his chin.
Somehow, even as time passed, my eyes couldn’t adjust to the darkness.
“That means… … .”
“It means that a chasm in the abyss has opened.”
With the feeling that all the doubts had been resolved, the expressions on the group’s faces became serious. It was because I realized that the current situation was not good.
But it couldn’t continue like this.
Since they had to discuss what to do next, the group decided to continue the conversation again.
But at that moment.
[Awww!]
Suddenly a wolf howl was heard.
A familiar figure followed.
It was the appearance of a white wolf, a huge wolf with pure white fur. Ulan asked back with a slightly surprised face at his unexpected appearance.
“Did you fall too?”
[purr! That’s it!]
As soon as Ulan stopped asking questions, the white wolf spoke as if answering something. Then Perticia interpreted it and delivered it.
“no. “I was resting in the shadow of Ulan, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself here.”
“I was caught in it unintentionally.”
Ulan burst into laughter.
The white wolf looked at Ulan with disapproval and then looked back at Perticia.
[Grrr! purr!]
As if trying to convey something.
Perticia listened to the white wolf’s words with a serious expression and then looked back at the group again. Her purpose was to interpret and deliver the message she had just heard.
“I just heard that other members of the family are guiding the people left above here.”
“Are you talking about monsters and poisonous snakes?”
“Yes, it will take quite some time. “Because the space itself is as complex as an anthill.”
“Whew, I’m glad though.”
Ian breathed a sigh of relief.
The other party members also nodded in agreement.
Now that the abyss erosion has occurred, the problem of how to meet Noah again seems to have been somewhat resolved.
“Then what should we do from now on?”
“First of all, we have to start by joining.”
If it takes time for that side to get here, it’s okay if this side moves first.
Then the time will be much shorter.
After making her decision, Delia immediately left her seat and stood up. Then, just as she was about to ask the white wolf to guide her to where Noah was.
[Grrr!]
Suddenly, the white wolf’s eyes became fierce.
The guy who jumped up from his seat quickly looked towards the outskirts and growled. Just as Delia was puzzled by the sudden reaction.
“I think joining will be a bit difficult.”
Sven also narrowed his eyes.
Having fired arrows at the protest, he looked back at Delia, who was full of questions, and added the reason.
“I feel hostility nearby.”
As soon as Sven finished whispering, there was suddenly a sound of pounding on the ground.
Then, gigantic monsters emerged one by one through the darkness of the abyss.
“Ugh! “They’re giants.”
Ibella frowns.
With this as a signal, the Ulan group gathered in one place.
Delia, Perticia, Laurea, and Sirpi took their places in the center, while Ulan, Ibella, Ian, and Sven took charge of the outskirts.
It was a defensive formation assuming a battle with giants. However, as time passed, the giants seemed to have no intention of approaching the group.
“what? “Why are you still?”
“Couldn’t we be waiting for reinforcements?”
Ian muttered with a puzzled look on his face.
So, I was seriously considering whether I should attack here first. Perticia, who had been summoning the spirits, suddenly tilted her head.
“Ulan? “Where are you looking?”
This was because Ulan was not staring at a space full of giants, but instead staring at a place filled with darkness.
Meanwhile, in response to Perticia’s question, the other party members also looked at Ulan one by one. Ulan, receiving everyone’s attention, gently opened his mouth.
“He’s watching us.”
“yes? What do you mean by guy… … .”
“The Giant King Largtan.”
A short, heavy word as a signal.
Ulan twisted the corners of his mouth and grinned.
“He’s over there.”
“… … !?”
The group’s eyes widened at those words.
And that moment.
Creepy!
The warriors suddenly felt the hair on their entire bodies stand on end. This was because a terrifying magical power was felt beyond the darkness where Ulan’s gaze was directed.
A truly intimidating presence.
Soon a low voice was heard.
【That’s correct. A bit of an accident.】
2nd place in the order of Lords of the Abyss.
A powerful enemy who always faced death with Ulan over countless periods of time.
It was the appearance of the giant king Largtan.
7.
After Largtan’s appearance.
The hall was suddenly filled with silence.
However, for a moment, the sound of rough shaking of the ground broke the silence. It was the sound of him approaching where Ulan and his group were.
thud! Coooooo!
Largtan, who soon appeared, was twice as large as the other giants. It’s like believing the mountains are moving.
“… … .”
The group, except for Ulan, swallowed their dry saliva without anyone saying anything first. It was with an expression of half-daunted by the magic power emanating from Largtan.
On the other hand, Ulan was different.
He looked at Largtan with a bright smile, as if he was very familiar with it. And this was the same for Largtan.
【It’s been a while since I’ve seen these faces.】
A smile blooming on a huge face.
It wasn’t ridicule or ridicule or anything like that. It was a sincere smile, like the joy of meeting an old friend.
【Nice to meet you again. Warriors who challenged and faced Jim countless times in the repeated whirlpool of time.】
Largtan’s gaze was especially fixed on Ulan. After exchanging glances for a moment, he spoke again.
【Then, let’s leave the nonsense aside and get started.】
After a low murmur as if announcing the start of a battle, something large and heavy suddenly fell from the air.
thud! Coooooo! Kwasik!
An object that looks like a thick wooden pole.
What was a little unusual was that unidentifiable letters were engraved on various parts of the pillars.
“That… … .”
It looks like a totem.
Just as I was thinking that, Ulan suddenly kicked off the ground and ran away. Then the Auror shouted, smashing her totem with his coiled axe.
“Everyone scatter in all directions!”
“Uh, Ulan?”
“The curse is revealed!”
Everyone’s faces hardened at those words.
This is because it reminded me of the terrible curse called the chains of the abyss that I heard from Noah. Accordingly, the group followed Ulan’s words and dispersed in all directions.
Watching this scene.
Largtan muttered in a puzzled tone.
【curse? Ah, the chain of the abyss?】
Largtan silently shakes his head.
After roughly assessing the situation, he spoke with a cold sneer.
【I didn’t prepare anything like that in the first place. Because you remember your past life just like Jim. So I created something completely new.】
Right after he finished speaking.
The fragments of the totem that had been destroyed by Ulan were wrapped in gray magic. Then it soon started to sink into the ground.
And that moment.
An unexpected surprise struck.
“… … !?”
The three warriors trembled and fell to the floor. Ian and Ibella’s eyes widened at this sight.
“Stand, saintess!”
“Delia! Perticia!”
Laurea, Delia, and Perticia.
They fell to their seats with fresh blood spouting from their noses and mouths. I don’t know what happened, but at a glance it looked like he was in serious condition.
“Ugh! Oh, my head… … .”
Sirpi also stumbled in his seat.
On the other hand, Ulan, Ian, Ibella, and Sven only felt a slight headache, but were fine. When I was unable to understand the situation, I suddenly heard a vibration.
thud! Coo! Coooooo!
It was the sound of the giants surrounding us on all sides approaching. The moment he was about to swing his ax at them, who were approaching with a vicious force.
【Your opponent is a burden.】
Largtan blocked Ulan’s path.
He came a short distance away and looked at Ulan’s crumpled face and grinned.
【Now the time has come to decide. Who will be the winner in this battle that has been repeated countless times!】
A ferocious force surging like crazy.
In a desperate crisis, the battle with a certain fate has begun.
