The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 229
(4)
7.
Labyrinth of Gluttony.
Suddenly, a shadow rose in this terrible place that gnaws away at the magical power of those who are imprisoned..
Kuduk! Wooddeuk!
Bone-twisting noises and beings rapidly taking shape. It was the six members of the family wearing the masks of beasts..
【I can't understand.】
The first to speak is the new masked monster.
When his muttering, which had a chain scythe wrapped around his body, ended, the monsters wearing wolf and crocodile masks each opened their mouths this time..
【From what the Watcher said, I didn't feel that dangerous..】
【What is the king thinking?.】
The reason the family members visited the labyrinth was to annihilate the existence of 'strangers' according to the order of Asteban, the lord of the undead..
However, the family members who had just expressed their opinions had doubts about this order. It's because I decided that it was not going to be mobilized in groups of six..
Of course not all.
【But the king's name is the king's name.】
【As long as you are commanded, you must follow.】
【Because that is the duty of the family.】
Unlike the three who complained, the servants wearing pig, sheep, and horse masks were ready to faithfully fulfill Asteban's orders..
so divided opinions.
When the strange silence continued, the crow mask spoke as if offering a proposal..
【You don't have to move everything?】
A word that sounds meaningful.
The people who decided to follow the king's order asked with their eyes narrowed..
【what does that mean?】
【Does that mean you won't obey the king's command??】
【No, let's split the crowd in half.】
【let's split it in half?】
When asked about the family in the horse mask, the family in the wolf mask revealed their intentions as if they had waited..
【Seek ye strangers according to the king's command..】
【We will deal with the other remnants, including the Star Agent..】
It is not efficient for all six members to move. So let's split it in half and hunt all the prey trapped in the labyrinth.
this was their suggestion.
After a not short time has passed since then, the six members have finally come to an agreement..
【i get it. don't do that.】
Accepting the offer to divide the group.
Instead, it was a condition to join another group immediately after eliminating the agents and remnants of the stars..
Thus, the crow, wolf, and crocodile masks disappeared in an instant. Then, the three remaining members of the family burst out with their long-suffering complaints..
【How dare you refuse the king's name?.】
【Today's matter will be reported to the king..】
An agreement was reached, but in fact it was safe to say that it was a reluctant agreement. He backed off to stop wasting time..
But complain for a while.
【Anyway, the die is cast.】
【We focus on our mission.】
The three families quickly recalled their purpose and moved to carry out the king's order..
black haired stranger.
To annihilate Noah Darshen. The moment I tried to search for the location of the target like that.
【wait, what is that?】
Presence was detected from the front.
A very clear presence. Judging by the momentum, it seems to be running here..
After a while, the figure of the opponent was confirmed..
A giant golem with an ax in each hand. At first glance, it seemed far from the goal..
【no strangers.】
【If so, is it one of the remnants?.】
Then you don't have to deal.
But that doesn't mean I won't fight. All who were trapped in this labyrinth were enemies of Asteban, even if they were not strangers..
【deal with and move.】
The three clans raised their magical powers.
In order to get rid of the moth that rushes at me with the momentum to wield an axe at any moment.
8.
Meanwhile at that time.
Ulan, who discovered the Immortals, rushed after leaving the word to ask Sven for cover..
Meanwhile, I checked the spirit..
It was to estimate the number of times the transcendence area could be used prior to the battle..
‘The transcendent realm cannot be overused.’
Not only is it a huge burden on the body, but also the spirit is terribly consumed..
Excluding the burden on the body here, if you look only at the spirit, you can use two transcendental realms per full spirit..
And Ulan's perfect spirit is three.
‘Then the maximum given to me is…….’
That's a total of six times.
However, three of them have already been used in the previous battle against the immortals..
So the number of times remaining is three.
Coincidentally, there are only three immortals.
‘there's no problem.’
If you use up all the remaining counts and use the transcendental realm, it won't be a problem to get rid of the three clans..
But Ulan had no intention of doing that..
Because there was no guarantee that those three were all members of the family who entered the labyrinth. So, it was necessary to leave at least one spare time.
‘If so, it would be more efficient to deal with them all at once rather than one at a time..’
Ulan's eyes shone coldly..
Then, without hesitation, he swung the ax..
Fuck! Aaaaaaang!
But it was quickly blocked. As if expecting an attack, the clan wearing a horse mask raised a shield to block it..
In response, Ulan reversed his intention to throw an attack, redirecting the ax blade toward the creature's head..
【───?!】
Eyes flickering as if in bewilderment.
Aiming for the gap created by that moment, Ulan opened up an onslaught. But he was a little short of delivering the fatal blow..
Thanks to that, the horse mask managed to escape..
Then, this time, the pig mask's attendants took turns approaching and brandishing clubs..
Whoo! puck! kwaaang!
Similarly, uhlans who do not dodge but face.
In an instant, the two exchanged dozens of attacks. By the time the ongoing workshop was briefly finished without any concessions.
【Right. now i get it.】
【It's you, not a stranger..】
【The one who killed the priest and the gladiator!】
All three members of the family flashed their eyes at once..
Ulan, on the other hand, did not respond..
It was pointless to talk to the monsters that would soon turn to ashes and scatter anyway..
“woo woo.”
When I was preparing for battle while controlling my breathing.
A rain of arrows suddenly fell.
baba baba bak!
A skill to fire multiple arrows with explosive momentum, it was Sven's check shot..
Of course, Sven hadn't reached the level of a master yet, so he couldn't do threatening damage to his followers..
‘still not pointless.’
Sven's arrows are silver plated.
In addition, in the previous battle, the priests were endowed with divine magic. If you get hit by an arrow like this, even the immortals will have a gap..
A small gap created in an instant.
It's big enough to stick an ax in..
‘now!’
Ulan did not miss the opportunity.
An ax that flies with terrifying momentum. What he was aiming for was a member of his family wearing a horse mask..
puck! Quadduk!
body flying at an angle.
A large mass of flesh turned to ash and flew away. However, it was not completely cured. It was because I didn't use the transcendental realm..
【Ugh! odd number!】
Eyes blazing with anger.
However, unlike the words that were spoken, the horse mask did not approach it hastily. It's because I realized it only after about half of my body had turned to ash..
Ulan is no ordinary guy.
At that time, the three members, including the horse mask, quickly exchanged glances. Then, without saying who came first, they scattered in three directions..
Sven narrowed his eyes at this..
‘Are you thinking of running away??’
When I was closely watching the movements of my followers.
Suddenly, the hair all over the body stood up..
“……!”
The feeling that instincts are fiercely warning.
Sensing a crisis, Sven followed his instinct and stepped back. Then, in the blink of an eye, the club of the pig mask razed the cheek..
【You're as quick as running away!】
A fierce offensive soon broke out..
It was so fast that the eyes couldn't follow it, but it avoided all attacks with animal senses..
Then I figured out his intentions..
It's probably because they want to get rid of themselves, who are relatively easier to kill than uhlans..
‘I wish I could help you.’
Deep down, he hoped for Ulan's help, but he didn't seem able to afford it. Because the horse mask and the sheep mask were driving the uhlan fiercely..
Sven crumpled his face..
‘then what to do?’
It's something that can't be avoided forever. As I was thinking about ways to overcome the current situation, something suddenly caught my eye..
‘uh?’
Ulan with the right ax at the waist.
He faced the two gangs with the ax in his left hand while holding his right hand behind his back. He then waved his index and ring fingers alternately..
‘that…….’
Hunter's hand signal.
It means climb up the tree..
It is a signal used mainly when a dangerous beast appears or when attracting prey..
Meanwhile, Sven is surrounded by doubts..
Aside from how Ulan knew the hunter's hand signals, there were no trees around here..
‘no, wait.’
It's not really a tree, but there was one that was as tall as a tree. Ulan wearing sorcery armor was exactly that..
If you climb up your back to your shoulders, it's about the same height as climbing a small tree. In other words, the meaning of the hand signal is to get on the body..
‘But to do that…….’
You have to break through the pig mask that oppresses you by wielding a club..
Sven was troubled by this fact..
Because simply avoiding an attack and breaking through the subject of the attack have different levels of risk. But the trouble didn't last long.
‘……I have no choice but to break through!’
there is no other way.
Sven started sprinting, hoping that he had correctly interpreted Ulan's signal..
It was for a frontal breakthrough.
【Have you given up on running away?!】
savage baptism of clubs.
Even one hit would lead to instant death beyond just crushing the bones, but Sven didn't care and tried to break through..
Hung! Whoa! Huung!
The sound of the wind cutting was fierce..
But it was good. Sven did not rely on his eyes and ears, but only trusted his own experience and instincts and moved his body..
【this rat bastard!】
Did Sven, who avoids all attacks, be mean? pig mask roar.
Sven, who showed off such a dangerous evasion, rolled all the way to the floor and finally succeeded in breaking through the attack range of the pig mask..
Ulan, who confirmed this, grinned..
‘It's quite the same.’
Sven's movement and evasion ability are by far the highest level among the seven heroes. It should be possible enough to break through the immortal family..
and one more.
There is a reason why Sven was able to break through the ranks of the Master and succeed in breaking away..
‘'Cause they ain't masters.’
They can fight on equal footing with the Master, but it is wrong to say that they are Masters..
This is because the immortals can move by interfering with the master's realm, but they cannot directly expand the realm..
‘If you knew how to expand the area…….’
Sven's breakthrough must have failed.
No matter how good your evasion ability is, everything is meaningless within the master's realm..
However, Sven confidently broke through the ranks, which is proof that Ulan was right..
“whoops, whoops!”
Meanwhile around that time.
Sven, who managed to join Ulan, rode on his back and climbed up to his shoulder at once..
Then, around the time I took a rough breath.
The three families rushed at once..
【drove both into one!】
【I can't run away from this anymore.】
【don't get rid of it all at once!】
The followers who close the distance from three directions.
The retreat did not exist. There is no room or gap to dodge an attack..
crisis of despair.
While Sven was making a puzzled expression, Ulan whispered to him..
“jump in place.”
“what, what?!”
“with all one's might.”
Questions arose at the sudden words, but I was not given time to resolve them..
Sven bit his teeth hard..
‘oops, i don't know!’
What were you thinking, you did it?.
Quickly crouching down, Sven jumped from the spot at Ulan's command..
dig!
Thanks to the excellent leaping power unique to the Myoin tribe, Sven's body soared upward three or four times, and the three members of the family took advantage of this and arrived at a distance..
【face death, mortal!】
【for our king!】
A fierce blow from all directions.
However, the relatives did not know.
That Ulan wasn't cornered, he was hoping this would happen. The moment they stepped into Uhlan's attack range.
The transcendent realm unfolded.
and―.
No more grating voices, no more menacing sounds cutting through the wind..
The only thing I heard after.
Awesome! Kwajik! Wooddeuk!
It was just the sound of victory..
