The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 235
(5)
8.
Late night, outskirts of the eastern jungle.
A pitch-black darkness suddenly surged like a wave in this place that was close to Sulfern..
After a while, a being wearing a bear mask appeared in the center of darkness. A monster holding a huge sword with its grotesquely bent arms hanging down.
It was Rakkul, the judge of the family of the immortals..
【so perfect.】
A satisfied smile bloomed on his lips..
Rakul, the second most powerful of the 12 clans, was currently following Asteban's command to open the labyrinth and wait for enemies..
『pitch black labyrinth』
If you step into this labyrinth that covers the surroundings with darkness, the curse of jet-black, which temporarily blinds you, will be activated..
In addition, the labyrinth could be moved according to the owner's will, so the ways to use it are endless..
But Rakul didn't move hastily..
【wait for them to come.】
He resembled Asteban and was cautious..
So, after borrowing the darkness of the night to hide the labyrinth, he planned to deal with only the enemies who unknowingly entered the area of the labyrinth one by one..
But when the night got dark.
A sudden change happened.
【hmm? what is that?】
A group of lights that suddenly light up the night sky.
The light, which gradually grew brighter, eventually shone as dazzlingly as the sun. In an instant, the eastern jungle became as bright as day, and the darkness quickly dissipated..
Then the meaning behind the labyrinth disappeared..
This is because the darkness of the labyrinth became much clearer as the world became brighter..
【Did you even notice?】
That a jet-black labyrinth is spreading?
Even if it is, it doesn't matter.
It's because you can move to another place, not here, and open the labyrinth again. But after a while, the composure that appeared on his face disappeared..
It was because the starlight that had brightened the night sky was falling toward the ground one by one..
【──!?】
Not only that.
With the first falling starlight as a signal, all the starlight fell to the ground like a downpour..
7star cluster magic, meteor shower.
Not just once, but several meteor showers were used at the same time. As a result, an enormous amount of starlight struck the jungle..
Wow! Kwajik! peweoong!
In the blink of an eye, countless trees were broken and burned. After a while, the meteor shower swept the whole area into complete ruins..
【what the hell…….】
Rakul was at a loss for words at the horror before his eyes..
A forest that has disappeared without a trace. All that was left was a pile of ashes that had been trees. When I was looking at this blankly, something suddenly crossed my mind.
【I hope to clear the forest entirely?】
It doesn't make much sense.
If they really knew the existence of the labyrinth, it would be safer to blow up the entire forest like this before entering..
【but still this is too…….】
inefficient.
The eastern jungle was wide enough to be called vast. No matter how powerful the meteor shower is, it is unreasonable to destroy the entire forest..
Truly an ignorant and radical choice. Rakul's blue eyes shook for an instant as if he was shaken..
But that's only for a moment.
【I need to move from place to place.】
there's nothing here right now.
The darkness of the night, the bushes, and the trees to hide the darkness of the labyrinth. In response, Rakul pulled out a small black bead from her bosom..
It is the core of the labyrinth).
He used it to quickly retrieve the labyrinth spread around him. After that, the moment I was about to move to find a good place to spread the labyrinth.
Shehehehehe! puck!
Something flew quickly from the direction Rakul intended to travel and landed at his feet..
【arrow?】
To be precise, it was a silver-plated arrow..
The peculiar thing is that the arrow shaft has an unknown amulet wrapped around it. The moment when a strange light bloomed in Rakul's eyes.
Aaaaaaaang!
A sudden explosion engulfed him..
but there was no damage.
The power that makes up the explosion is pure magical power. Because there was no divine power or spirit power anywhere..
【Looks like you've already come close.】
The attack was evidence.
Rakul, who was watching the direction the arrow flew from, gripped his core tightly. She headed to the enemy and opened her labyrinth with the intention of hunting..
But at that moment.
creepy!
For some reason, I felt an ominous feeling.
Instinct gave a warning, and Rakul hurriedly swung his greatsword in response..
this choice was the right one.
Something huge suddenly appeared from the direction the arrow had come from. And Rakul's greatsword met the ax he wielded..
Kagagakak! caang!
A collision so intense that a shock wave is generated.
Rakul swung his greatsword to deflect the opponent's attack, then opened the distance. Then the appearance of his opponent came into sight..
【Golem?】
Magic dolls created by wizards.
The opponent had no choice but to think so, boasting a gigantic size..
But no matter how good the golem's performance is, can it move so fast??
As he pondered such a question, something suddenly crossed his mind. Before coming here, it was a warning from the watcher..
「Among the warriors, the one you need to be most careful of is the one wearing huge armor..」
It was with the explanation that he was the monster who destroyed the Labyrinth of Gluttony and eliminated the six families..
And now, the opponent who appeared in front of Rakul exactly matched the watcher's description..
【Right. you are the one…….】
Rakul, who grasped the identity of the opponent, immediately wanted to open the labyrinth. Only then will future battles be more advantageous..
However, the raid was far ahead of that..
quagga gaga gaga!
An angry ax cutting through the air.
The blow was too threatening to ignore, so Rakul raised his greatsword to block the attack..
The fierce battle that began with this signal.
Rakul blocked the fierce offensive, but on the other hand, he waited for a gap to form. He was in order to activate the core and open the labyrinth..
some time after that.
The long wait has paid off.
‘now!’
Immediately after discovering a momentary gap.
He wanted to inject the magic of the abyss into his core. But it was a bit strange. It was because the hand that held his core was weak..
What's going on? Just as the question arose, the landscape in front of me suddenly turned upside down. Then, a huge body was reflected in the blue eyes..
It was his own body that had lost its head..
【……uh?】
Only then did Rakul realize.
What I thought was a momentary gap was a trap, and I was caught in a good way.
【uh, at what point―.】
Realizing that his head and torso had fallen off, he widened his eyes in amazement. But he couldn't even keep up with his words..
Quadruped! perseok!
It was because the ax that flew while breaking Rakul's body split his head in half. So Rakul met her futile end..
“I have two left.”
The main character who has completed subjugation to the transcendental realm.
Ulan swung his axe and shattered the core that had fallen from Rakul's hand. Then he remembered the rest of the Immortals..
Agent Kalex and Watcher Bergot.
As Ulan, whose eyes flashed fiercely, brushed off the ashes from his axe, a hidden helper in this battle appeared..
“It's over in an instant.”
Sven Isaac, Sniper of the Warriors' Party.
He had the widest field of vision and senses of all the warriors. So he was assigned the role of moving ahead of the uhlans and searching for the enemy..
“where are the other two?”
“I guess I'll have to dig a little deeper into that. at least not around here.”
Sven finished answering Ulan's question.
He wrapped the amulet around the arrow. This talisman received from Noah has the effect of exploding the moment it senses the magic of the abyss..
Of course, it didn't do much damage, but it was meaningful nonetheless. This is because it serves to inform Ulan of the exact location of the enemy..
After a while, after a quick reorganization.
The two looked at the road leading to the heart of the jungle. At that time, the black night sky was once again dyed with bright light..
“that…….”
“The second raid has begun..”
Ulan's eyes sparkled..
As soon as his murmur ended, countless starlights fell toward the forest..
Wow! Perong! kwaaang!
A forest devastated with a loud roar.
Moments later, a path was made that led to the heart of the jungle, and the two kicked the ground again..
to continue hunting.
9.
Meanwhile at that time.
It wasn't just Rakkul who was taken aback by the sudden bombardment of stars. The two remaining members of the family also couldn't hide their embarrassment..
【what the hell is this…….】
Lion's Mask, Agent Kalex.
Falcon's Mask, Watcher Bergot.
Following Asteban's order, the two spread the labyrinth throughout the jungle and waited for the enemy to arrive..
However, I never imagined that they would attack using such an ignorant method..
But it wasn't long before something even more embarrassing happened..
【what? Rakul got hit?】
Shortly after the second bombing.
It was because Bergotte, who was with me, told me that Rakul had been attacked..
【okay. presence has completely disappeared.】
【Does that mean they have already broken through the pitch-dark labyrinth??】
【No, the labyrinth did not unfold.】
【……what?】
The labyrinth did not open.
This could also be interpreted as meaning that he was attacked without even having time to open the labyrinth. Kalex's eyes burned fiercely at the sudden sad news..
【where are the bastards?】
【I can not know. missed the mark.】
Bergotte shook her head..
Granted the Power of the Beholder by Asteban, he can share his vision with all undead under the command of the Undead Legion..
However, for some reason, undead do not exist in the current jungle. So, when I was in trouble, something came to my mind out of nowhere..
【for a moment. Come to think of it…….】
In the jungle, besides Bergot, there are beings who can observe opponents from afar..
However, immediately after recalling this existence.
A new question arose as well..
【Where is Lacus' family??】
Eyeballs that can't be seen from any moment.
Furthermore, the Abyssal Worshipers who lived and worked in the heart of the jungle disappeared..
When I questioned this fact.
Sudden suspicious speculation came to me.
【I hope you know it will be like this?】
Did you leave the jungle one step ahead??
It was a highly probable suspicion.
They were famous for being the most cunning among the Abyss's..
When Kalex's eyes glowed with anger.
【I would like to move first.】
Bergotte opened his mouth again..
Now that the forest has turned into ruins, there was nowhere to hide the labyrinth..
【To agree. let me reap the labyrinth.】
Kalex also nodded..
The moment when both of them were about to leave the labyrinth and move to the intact forest.
Shehehehehe! puck!
An arrow flew out of nowhere.
It was an arrow entwined with an amulet..
【This…….】
The moment you become aware of the attack.
The arrow that fell at Bergotte's feet exploded with ferocious force. So far, I haven't had any issues with it. No one was injured in the explosion.
but at that moment.
Upon the explosion, Kalex instinctively sensed a terrifying threat. Feeling as if death was approaching, he shouted urgently..
【Bergotte!】
It was to tell them to hurry back.
However, before Kalex's cry stopped, Bergot's mask split in half. Of course, so was his head and body..
What followed was a giant golem.
It was Ulan wearing magic armor..
“now there's one left.”
Agent, Kalex.
Looking at Asteban's one and only apostle, Ulan laughed fiercely. Then Kalex shouted with angry eyes..
【You bastard! dare something like a mortal!】
Kalex growled with the momentum to crush Ulan at any moment, but he did not attack recklessly..
Rather, I pulled myself back..
Because instinct keeps giving warnings.
But I couldn't get out completely. It was because Ulan was tenaciously catching up..
‘It doesn't matter though.’
He had a trump card.
The Infinite Labyrinth received from Asteban.
Those who get caught up in this labyrinth are locked in a labyrinth with no exit and wander the labyrinth until they die..
‘If you aim for a gap and open the labyrinth…….’
Not only can you successfully fulfill the king's command, but you can also win a victory. So Carl Rex opened the infinite labyrinth aiming for his gap..
No, I was trying to open it.
But for some reason, the mana of the abyss injected into the core continued to flow out..
‘what?’
what happened?
Feeling puzzled, he slightly moved his eyeballs to look at the core. And at that moment, the blue eyes shimmered as if they were shaken..
【……?!】
What was reflected in Kalex's eyes.
It was an arrow that was not only plated with silver, but also engraved with divine incantations. Furthermore, the arrow had accurately pierced the heart core..
【at what point…….】
Around the time when I was reciting in a desolate tone.
I saw the person who shot the arrow in the distance..
A cat-human hunter aiming an arrow at this direction with his nonchalant eyes shining..
It was Sven Isaac..
【that fucking bug―!】
Realizing the situation, Kalex was about to let out a roar, but an ax that flew through the transcendental realm crushed his jaw and smashed his head..
Kwajik! Wood deok! perok!
The head that made a loud sound soon said goodbye to the body. Furthermore, the relatively intact body was quickly split in half..
It was the moment when the last of Asteban, the lord of the undead, faced an empty end..
54page. Lord of the Undead
