The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 235

(5)

8.

Late at night, on the outskirts of the eastern jungle.

Suddenly, pitch-black darkness swept in like a wave in this place, which was close to Schulfern.

After a while, a being wearing a bear mask appeared in the center of darkness. A monster with grotesquely bent arms and a huge sword.

It was the judge Rakul, a member of the immortal family.

【Very perfect.】

A satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

Rakul, the second most powerful being among the twelve clans, was currently waiting for his enemies by unfolding the labyrinth under Asteban’s orders.

『Pitch-black Labyrinth』

If you step into this labyrinth where the surroundings are covered in darkness, a pitch black curse will be activated that will temporarily blind you.

In addition, since the labyrinth could be moved according to the owner’s will, the ways in which it could be used were endless.

But Rakul did not move hastily.

【Wait until they come.】

He was cautious, like Asteban.

Therefore, the plan was to hide the labyrinth using the darkness of night and deal with only the enemies that unknowingly entered the labyrinth’s territory one by one.

But as the night deepened.

Suddenly something strange happened.

【Hmm? What is that?】

A cluster of lights suddenly brightens up the night sky.

The light grew brighter and brighter, and eventually it shone as dazzlingly as the sun. The eastern jungle instantly became as bright as day, and the darkness cleared quickly.

Then the hidden meaning of the labyrinth disappeared.

This is because as the world became brighter, the darkness of the labyrinth became much clearer.

【Did you even notice it?】

That there is a pitch-black labyrinth unfolding?

Even if that were the case, it doesn’t matter.

Instead of going here, you can move to another location and open the labyrinth again. But after a while, the composure on his face disappeared.

This was because the starlight that brightened the night sky fell one by one toward the ground.

【──!?】

It’s not just that.

Using the first falling starlight as a signal, all the starlight fell to the ground like heavy rain.

7-star star cluster magic, meteor shower.

And not just once, but multiple meteor showers were used simultaneously. As a result, an enormous amount of starlight struck the jungle.

Kwaaaaang! Kwasik! Fuuuuuuu!

In the blink of an eye, countless trees were destroyed and burned. After a while, the area swept by a meteor shower turned into complete ruins.

【What on earth…? … .】

Rakul was speechless at the devastation before her eyes.

A forest that has disappeared everywhere. All that was left was a pile of ashes that used to be wood. As I was looking at this blankly, something suddenly crossed my mind.

【Are you really going to destroy the entire forest?】

It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.

If they really know the existence of the labyrinth, it would be safer to blow up the entire forest and enter.

【But still, this is too… … .】

It’s inefficient.

The eastern jungle was so large that it could be said to be vast. No matter how powerful the meteor shower is, it is impossible to destroy the entire forest.

A truly ignorant and radical choice. Rakul’s blue eyes also wavered for a moment as if she was agitated.

But that only lasts for a moment.

【I need to move my seat first.】

There is currently nothing here.

The darkness of the night, the bushes, and the trees that hide the darkness of the labyrinth. In response, Rakul took out a small black bead from his bosom.

This is the deep core of the labyrinth.

He used this to quickly retrieve the labyrinth spread out around him. Afterwards, I was about to move to find a good place to unfold the labyrinth.

Shhh! puck!

Something flew quickly from the direction Rakul wanted to move and stuck at her feet.

【arrow?】

To be exact, it was an arrow plated with silver.

What is unusual is that an unidentifiable amulet is wrapped around the arrow shaft. The moment when a mysterious light bloomed in Rakul’s eyes.

Quaaaaaaaaaaa!

A sudden explosion engulfed him.

But there was no particular damage.

The power that makes up the explosion is pure magical power. Because there was no divine power or spirit power anywhere.

【Looks like we’re already close.】

The evidence was that there was an attack.

Rakul, who was watching the direction from which the arrow came, tightly grasped her core. He heads to where the enemy is, opens the labyrinth, and hunts him.

But at that moment.

Creepy!

For some reason, I had an ominous feeling.

Soon, instinct gave a warning, and Rakul hurriedly swung his great sword accordingly.

This choice was the right decision.

Because something huge suddenly appeared in the direction from which the arrow came. And Rakul’s great sword came into direct contact with the ax it was swinging.

Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak! Kaang!

A collision so intense that shock waves were generated.

Rakul swung his great sword to deflect the opponent’s attack and widened the distance. Immediately, his opponent’s appearance came into view.

【Golem?】

A magic doll created by wizards.

He boasted of such a huge size that the opponent had no choice but to think that way.

But no matter how good the golem’s performance is, can it move this fast?

While pondering such questions, something suddenly crossed Rakul’s mind. It was a warning I heard from a watcher before coming here.

“Among the warriors, the one you have to be most careful with is the one wearing huge armor.”

It was explained that he was the monster who destroyed the Labyrinth of Gluttony and eliminated the six clans.

And now, the person who appeared before Rakul’s eyes exactly matched the observer’s description.

【Right. You are… … .】

Rakul, who figured out the identity of the opponent, immediately tried to unfold the labyrinth. Only then will future battles become more advantageous.

However, the attack went much further than that.

Quagga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

An angry ax flying through the air.

It was a blow too threatening to ignore, so Rakul raised his great sword to block the attack.

With this signal, a fierce battle began.

Rakul blocked the fierce attack while also waiting for an opening to appear. He wanted to activate the deep 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 power of the abyss into the core. But it was a little strange. This was because the hand holding his core did not have any strength.

What’s going on? Just when doubts arose, the scenery before my eyes suddenly turned upside down. Then, a huge body was reflected in the bright 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 found myself caught in it.

【Uh, at some point】

When he realized that his head and torso had fallen, his eyes widened in shock. But he couldn’t even continue his words.

Quad deuk! Push!

This was because the ax that flew in broke Rakul’s body and split her head in half. This is how Rakul met her vain end.

“There are two left.”

The main character who completed the subjugation to the Transcendent Realm.

Ulan swung his ax and broke the core that fell from Rakul’s hand. Then he remembered the rest of his immortal family.

Agent Kalex and Watcher Bergott.

As Ulan, his eyes flashing fiercely, was shaking off the ash from his axe, a hidden helper in this battle appeared.

“It was over in an instant.”

Sven Isaac, the sniper of the warrior party.

He had the broadest vision and senses of all warriors. So he took on the role of moving ahead of Ulan and searching for the enemy.

“Where are the remaining two?”

“I think we need to go a little deeper into that. At least not around here.”

Sven finished answering Ulan’s question.

He wrapped the amulet around the arrow. This amulet received from Noah has the effect of exploding the moment it detects the magic power of the abyss.

Of course, it didn’t cause much damage, but it still had meaning. This is because it informs Ulan of the exact location of the enemy.

A little while later, after a quick reorganization.

The two looked at the road leading to the heart of the jungle. At that time, the pitch-black night sky was once again colored with bright light.

“That… … .”

“The second airstrike has begun.”

Ulan’s eyes sparkled.

As soon as he finished muttering, countless starlight fell towards the forest.

Kwaaaaang! Pow! Quaaaang!

A forest being devastated with a loud roar.

After a while, a path to the center of the jungle was created, and the two hit the ground again.

To continue the hunt.

9.

Meanwhile, at that time.

Rakul was not the only one who was taken aback by the sudden bombardment of stars. The remaining two family members also could not hide their embarrassment.

【What on earth is this…? … .】

Lion’s Mask, Agent Kalex.

Falcon Mask, Watcher Bergott.

Following Asteban’s orders, the two spread out a labyrinth throughout the jungle and waited for the enemy to arrive.

But I never imagined that they would attack using such an ignorant method.

But soon something even more embarrassing happened.

【what? Rakul was harmed?】

Some time after the second bombing.

This was because Bergotte, who was with him, first told him that Rakul had been harmed.

【okay. The presence has completely disappeared.】

【Does that mean they have already broken through the pitch-black labyrinth?】

【No, the labyrinth did not unfold.】

【… … what?】

The labyrinth did not unfold.

This could also be interpreted to mean that the labyrinth was attacked without even having a chance to open it. Kalex’s eyes burned fiercely at the sudden news.

【Where are they?】

【I can not know. I missed the sign.】

Bergotte shook his head.

Granted the power of the Watcher by Astevan, he can share vision with all undead existing under the Legion of the Undead.

However, for some reason, there are currently no undead in the jungle. So, when I was in trouble, something suddenly occurred to me.

【for a moment. Come to think of it… … .】

In the jungle, besides Bergott, there are beings who can observe others from afar.

However, immediately after recalling this existence.

New questions also arose.

【Where are Lacus’ family members?】

Eyeballs that are invisible from some point on.

Furthermore, the Abyss worshipers who lived and worked in the center of the jungle also disappeared.

At the time I was questioning this fact.

A suspicious guess suddenly occurred to me.

【Surely you knew this would happen?】

Did you leave the jungle one step ahead?

It was a very plausible suspicion.

They were famous for being the most cunning among the Abyss family.

When Kalex’s eyes lit up with anger.

【It would be best to change seats first.】

Bergotte opened his mouth again.

Now that the forest has turned into ruins, there is nowhere to hide the labyrinth.

【To agree. Let’s take down the labyrinth.】

Kalex also nodded.

Just as they were both about to leave the labyrinth and move to the intact forest.

Shhh! puck!

An arrow flew out of nowhere.

It was an arrow wrapped with an amulet.

【This… … .】

The moment I recognized the attack.

The arrow that fell at Bergotte’s feet exploded with fierce force. Up to this point, there were no particular problems. No one was injured in the explosion.

But at that moment.

As soon as the explosion occurred, Kalex instinctively sensed an eerie threat. He shouted urgently, feeling as if death was approaching.

【Bergot!】

It was to tell them to quickly retreat.

But before Kalex’s cries stopped, Bergotte’s mask was torn in half. Of course, the same was true of his head and body.

What appeared next was a giant golem.

It was an Ulan wearing magic armor.

“Now there’s one left.”

Agent, Kalex.

Ulan smiled viciously as he looked at Astevan’s only apostle. Then Kalex shouted with angry eyes flashing.

【You guy! How dare a mortal!】

Kalex growled, ready to crush Ulan at any moment, but did not hastily attack.

Instead, I pulled my body back.

Because my instincts kept warning me.

However, it was not possible to escape completely. This was because Ulan was persistently following along.

‘But it doesn’t matter.’

He had a secret trick.

This is the Infinite Labyrinth given to me by Astevan.

Anyone caught in this labyrinth is trapped in a maze with no exit and wanders the maze until they die.

‘If you take advantage of the gap and open the labyrinth… … .’

Not only can you successfully carry out the king’s orders, but you can also achieve victory. So Carl Rex took advantage of his opportunity and opened an infinite labyrinth.

No, I tried to unfold it.

However, for some reason, the abyssal magic injected into the core continued to flow out.

‘what?’

What happened?

Feeling puzzled, he slightly moved his eyes and looked at the core. And at that moment, the blue eyes flickered as if in agitation.

【… … ?!】

Reflected in Kalex’s eyes.

It was an arrow that was not only plated with silver but also engraved with sacred spells. Furthermore, the arrow had accurately pierced the core.

【Where on earth…? … .】

At the time I was muttering in despair.

The person who shot the arrow was seen in the distance.

A Myoin hunter aiming an arrow in this direction with shining indifferent eyes.

It was Sven Isaac.

【That damned bug—!】

Just as Kalex realized the situation and was about to let out a roar, an ax flew through the realm of transcendence, crushing his jaw and smashing his head.

Kwasik! Crack! Pow!

The head, which was making a loud noise, soon said goodbye to the body. Furthermore, the relatively intact body was quickly split in half.

It was the moment when the last descendant of the immortal monarch, Astevan, met a vain end.
