The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 223

(5)

8.

In the heart of the eastern jungle.

The residence of Asteban, the king of the immortals.

Abyss worshipers gathered in this place filled with countless undead soldiers. And suddenly an urgent message came to them.

“yes? “I was wiped out?”

The leader of the Abyss Cultists.

Estelle Outra widened her eyes.

It was because of the news that the undead army that had been dividing and advancing in three directions according to Asteban’s orders had been completely annihilated.

“Are you saying that the Kingdom of Endrak and the Duchy of Arpen are second to none, and the legions heading to Sulfern were also annihilated? “You can’t even capture the castle?”

“According to reports, yes.”

Charon Vartezan, Abyssal Worshiper.

He is the sworn brother of Regens, Estelle’s teacher, and is like an uncle to her. He is not a person who will ever talk nonsense.

“I can’t believe it so easily. I never thought Schulfern would have that much power left… … .”

Estelle bit her lips tightly.

It was natural. To be honest, I didn’t know what happened to the other two kingdoms, but Schulfern was their original target.

Around the time I looked nervous.

“Still, there is one good thing.”

“In this situation? “What is it?”

“The brothers on the outskirts of the jungle witnessed what happened at that time.”

“… … !”

There are witnesses among the worshipers.

Estelle’s eyes widened at those words. At the same time, the reason for the annihilation of the undead army was revealed.

“Every culprit is the Holy Kingdom.”

“Seo, Seongguk?”

“okay. “It is said that the Holy Knights and Heresy Inquisitors from the Holy Kingdom invaded the battlefield of Schulfern, and as a result, the army was annihilated.”

Estelle makes a blank expression.

Why is Seongguk suddenly?

These questions arose for a moment, but quickly subsided. It was because I had an idea.

“No way, because of the killing of the priests… … .”

“Maybe that’s the cause.”

Charon also nodded silently.

In the past, they had defeated a group of priests who were looking for Sven Isaac.

Estelle, who remembered that time, bit her lip with a thoughtful expression on her face.

‘You shouldn’t have touched the priests either.’

No matter how Lacus’ orders are, they touch the priests of the Holy Kingdom. I felt regretful later, but it was already too late.

‘If it continues like this… … !’

There is a huge setback to the plan.

Perhaps the Holy Kingdom might send additional reinforcements. Then the situation will escalate, which is not what the worshipers want.

A situation where there is no solution in sight.

When I was stomping my feet with a nervous look on my face.

【No need to make a fuss.】

A strange voice emerged from the darkness of the jungle. Those who soon appeared were strange beings wearing the heads of beasts.

【The guys who sent out the military ahead of us were novices.】

【I expected it to be like this.】

【The king’s true army is here.】

They were the descendants of immortals.

The moment three of the twelve family members revealed their presence, the arms of numerous corpses rose up through the damp soil.

Wow! Knock knock!

An undead army numbering three thousand.

However, there was something a little different from the undead that had previously invaded the three kingdoms with the demonic beasts.

‘The magic power of the abyss… … !’

It felt much stronger and deeper.

Each undead felt a power comparable to that of any knight. In addition, there were many high-ranking undead presumed to be lichs.

It was a moment that made sense as to why he called the undead who had started ahead of him mischievous.

“Are you finally dispatching troops?”

“Then perhaps the king… … !”

At that time, several worshipers shouted with excitement. But it didn’t take long for the excitement to cool down.

【Do not climb, mortal.】

A voice as cold as ice.

The immortals flashed a sticky, murderous glow in their eyes at the worshipers who mentioned their king, Astevan.

【You have no right to know.】

【Do not wonder about our king, do not raise any questions.】

【If you ever mention the king’s existence again, you will pay with death.】

The fierce and ferocious threat froze the worshipers like stone statues. After making such a fuss, the family members turned around.

Jump, jump, jump!

Following the three, an army of 3,000 undead soldiers also marched. The destination was outside the jungle, the three kingdoms the advance team was heading to.

Some time after that.

When the power of the abyss scattered by the household members completely disappeared, Charon and Estel, who had been bowing their heads all along, slowly raised their heads.

“You’re gone.”

“Luckily there were no victims today.”

Estelle breathed a sigh of relief.

The immortals are arrogant, self-righteous, and even vicious beings.

On the other hand, no one had their head exploded like last time, so considering the actions of the immortal family members so far, it was as if they showed the utmost mercy.

“S-sorry! Charon! Estelle!”

“We just… … .”

Meanwhile, the two worshipers who had frozen the atmosphere fell flat on the floor.

Estelle waved her hand and responded.

“That’s Okay. “Because it’s not your fault.”

“What Autra said is correct. However, please be more careful when speaking from now on.”

“Yes, old! “I will!”

Is it because of the relief of being forgiven?

Worshipers repeatedly bowed their heads. With that, Estelle’s lips softened again.

“Oh, right. And to answer the question I asked the immortal family earlier, the immortal monarch is currently building a labyrinth.”

“yes? If it’s a labyrinth… … .”

“I don’t know the exact details.”

Because I only heard that it creates a labyrinth.

Still, I had a guess.

I heard from Lacus that it is not easy for the Lords of the Abyss to operate in the world now that the gates of the Abyss have not been opened.

There was only one reason.

‘Because the magic power of the abyss is insufficient.’

For the Abyss Lords, the magic of the Abyss is the source of power that helps them maintain their existence.

So, he explained that unless the gate opens one day and the world is covered with an abyss, the monarchs will not be able to demonstrate their full power.

‘So Lacus… … .’

He hides his real body in a secret place in the Count of Dermore’s mansion and acts as an alter ego. Only then can the magical power consumption of the Abyss be reduced.

In other words, it was assumed that Asteban created the labyrinth for a similar reason. It is clear that they are trying to create a shelter to save on magic power.

“Anyway, sooner or later, when the labyrinth is completed, the Lord of the Undead will dispatch his troops, so let us focus on our own mission.”

The worshipers have a task left to do.

It is to destroy a boy named Sven Isaac, who will become a hero in the future. Estelle, recalling her initial purpose, looked at the southern sky.

It was where Sven’s base, Schulfern, was located.

9.

Meanwhile, at that time.

Contrary to Estelle’s expectations, Sven was roaming the eastern jungle, not Schulfern.

“Whoo, whoo!”

The sound of breathing rising to the bottom of one’s chin.

A sweet smell wafts from your dry mouth.

I wanted to sit down and take a break, even if it was only for a minute or even 10 seconds. But there was no time for that.

There is only one reason.

This is because the pursuers are following behind them.

An eyeball monster floating in the air. Furthermore, there are unidentified men who each have the skills of a high-level magician or higher.

‘I barely escaped, but… … .’

The speed of their pursuit was fast.

If you slow down even a little here, you will be caught up immediately. So Sven kicked the ground again and again with all his might.

How long has it been like that?

The endless game of tag has come to an end. This is because people presumed to be reinforcements for the pursuers appeared.

“… … !?”

A spear of fire magic flying from the front.

Dozens of flaming spears flew towards Sven. Fortunately, he was aware of this in advance and avoided it altogether, but soon a new problem came to him.

‘… … ‘We’re surrounded.’

The pointed ears twitched.

This is because the sound of a large number of people approaching while forming a siege was detected.

‘Should I climb a tree and run away?’

I suddenly thought about that, but I couldn’t put it into practice. Because he found an eyeball monster hanging like fruit on a thick branch of a tree.

【Now there is no way to escape.】

【Give up obediently, mortal.】

Monsters doubled.

In addition, the number of men wearing gray robes increased noticeably. It was a truly bleak situation, but Sven did not give up and rolled his eyes.

It was to find a way out.

Then, I soon realized the reality.

‘I can’t see a hole to get out of.’

I tried predicting the situation several times, but there seemed no possibility of a successful escape.

It was because of an invisible attack that the eyeball monster often used.

An attack whose existence can be recognized only through instinct. If you hastily show a gap, you will be defeated without even being able to fight a trivial fight.

“Whoa.”

In a cornered situation, Sven fiddled with the object in his arms. It was a signal given by Milena before coming here.

“If you need help, just shoot.”

Milena said this as she handed it over.

If you fire a flare, she will come to your rescue no matter what. The Milena Armadin that Sven knows is that kind of person.

But Sven didn’t do that.

‘These monsters are strong.’

So much so that even if they attacked with Schulfern’s troops, there seemed to be no chance of victory. If I had hastily asked for help, I could have put Milena in danger.

In that case, it would be much better to just fight and die alone. After making his decision, Sven grabbed the arrow instead of the flare.

“Whoa.”

While calming my rough breathing.

The slightly trembling eyes gradually subsided.

Soon the eyes began to glow softly.

It was the look in the eyes of a hunter who had given up on running and giving up on surviving.

‘They are one of the demonic beasts.’

The proof is that it moves with the talking eyeball monster. And if this guess is correct, it means that they are enemies of Milena and Schulfern.

‘Then let me hunt you one more.’

Until my heart stops beating.

Sven, with a desperate resolve, immediately kicked the ground. At this, the eyeball monsters surrounding them sneered.

【Both foolish and foolish.】

【There is no longer a place to run to】

It seems like he thought Sven was running away again.

But this time it was wrong. Sven hit the ground and headed towards the back of the huge tree. As soon as he hid himself in his hiding place, he drew his bowstring.

Bababababaak!

A rain of arrows pouring down like heavy rain.

It was a sudden surprise attack, but the gray-robed beings responded without panic. However, it was not possible to respond perfectly.

“… … ?!”

“Step back!”

“He’s coming!”

As soon as he fired the arrow, Sven hit the ground and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.

He drew his dagger as fast as lightning and cut out the wizards’ hearts. Starting with an unexpected attack, Sven’s hunt soon began.

“Get back! “Keep your distance from him!”

“Let’s keep the distance and then attack all at once!”

Of course, they didn’t just suffer.

In cooperation with the eyeball monster, it attacked Sven tenaciously, inflicting injuries both large and small.

A tense battle.

When about six wizards were hunted, Sven faced a crisis.

“… … !”

Dozens of intangible attacks.

It’s an attack by an eyeball monster. Although they instinctively avoided the attack, the problem was that an unexpected attack was hidden.

‘On the floor… … !’

This intangible surprise attack, which had been hiding its presence all this time, waited for Sven to float in the air to dodge and then flew at him.

It was a very fatal blow.

“Ugh!”

Sven, who was hit in the stomach, rolled to the floor and fell in front of an old tree. Pieces of internal organs were also visible in the dark red blood that was splashing out.

“Cluck, cluck! “Keueuu!”

Sven keeps spitting out blood bubbles.

Beyond my blurred vision, I see eyeball monsters and wizards approaching. I tried to hold on to the bow to resist somehow.

But it couldn’t be done.

‘Mo, my body has strength…’ … .’

Was it because the unexpected blow was too strong?

I couldn’t move my arms, legs, or even a finger. Meanwhile, the monsters that had arrived right in front of me opened their eyes wide.

【It’s over, Sven Isaac.】

【With this, the stars are covered with darkness.】

【Glory be to our King!】

The mouth is wide open.

Tiny teeth were visible.

However, strangely enough, I felt another emotion before the fear of impending death.

It was just regret and regret.

‘If I had known I would die like this… … .’

I would say thank you to Milena.

I should have come and said thank you for saving me from being almost sold into slavery and for loving and caring for me like family.

A time when I was blaming myself with regret and regret.

The monster’s mouth swallowed Sven’s head.

The shadow of death fell on a face full of regret. Just as the monster’s sharp teeth were about to tear Sven’s skin.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

A sudden explosion that occurred out of nowhere.

Soon, a blindingly bright light drove away the darkness and took over Sven’s vision.

“… … uh?”

what? What happened?

As I was blinking blankly, a strong voice suddenly rang out in front of me.

“Holy Ghost! “Guard your servant.”

The main character of the voice is a boy knight with navy blue hair. With his pure white sword and shield in front, he blocked Sven as if to protect him.

An intangible attack that flies at the same time.

Sven instinctively sensed this and wanted to shout that it was dangerous, but there was no need to.

Suddenly!

This is because the intangible attack disappeared completely along with the sound of the blade cutting the rope. When I looked at this blankly with startled eyes.

“Sven Isaac, is that right?”

An unfamiliar voice was heard.

A much more profound and heavy voice than the boy I heard before. What appeared soon after was a middle-aged knight dressed similar to a boy.

“All of you… … ?”

“We are the paladins of Eloden.”

“I have come to rescue you by order of the saint.”

Eloden? Paladin? Saint?

Is it because unfamiliar words came out one after another?

Sven looked confused. Meanwhile, the middle-aged knight who was examining Sven’s wounds spoke as if giving instructions to the navy blue-haired boy.

“Ian, recite the healing prayer.”

“All right. To Master… … ?”

“I am going to fulfill my duties as a Holy Knight.”

One final word.

The middle-aged paladin, Cadel Dune Shanktus, turned around. Eventually, his steps lead to a place where there are monsters and wizards.

“Holy Ghost. “My star.”

As I kissed my lips, a calm voice came out as if I was praying. However, unlike his voice, his spirit was overflowing with murderous intent.

“I offer you victory.”

The moment the victory was declared, the realm of judgment and condemnation unfolded, centered on Cadel.

It was the domain of the Paladin Master.
