The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 239

(4)

8.

A white wolf suddenly appears.

The guy circled Ulan a couple of times and suddenly ran forward. Then he nodded his head in the direction where his companions were.

[Grung! purr!]

As if I wanted to say something.

But there was no way I could understand what he was saying, so I just stared at him blankly.

Suddenly Perticia opened her mouth.

“They ask me to follow you?”

“You mean him?”

“Yes, I know the way.”

Come to think of it, Perticia was able to freely communicate with spirits, phantom beasts, and spirits.

Ulan nodded.

However, I had a few questions.

How did they know where the group’s destination was, and even if they did, how did they know the route to get there?

“Just follow along.”

But the worries did not last long.

It would be better to chase after him rather than circling the same place over and over again.

At Noah’s words, Ulan immediately ran after him, and only then did the white wolf seem to be satisfied and accelerated his steps forward.

[Sniff! Grrr!]

A white wolf finds its way by smelling things.

While following him, a voice suddenly struck Noah’s ear.

“Cadet Noah.”

A profound voice with deep resonance.

It was the voice of Cadel, the paladin who guards Laurea’s side. He continued his speech with a curious expression on his face.

“I just want to ask you something.”

“yes? “Which one is it?”

“You said earlier that you were divided into groups to ensure smooth instructions. Is there a role for each group?”

“Oh, that’s right. “It’s accurate.”

Previously, Noah created three groups.

At the time, it was explained that the reason for creating the group was simply for smooth and efficient command, but the real reason was different.

This was because, as Cardell had just said, each group had a given mission.

“First of all, the most important thing is 1 trillion.”

The core force of this battle.

This is the group comprised of Ulan and Laurea. Additionally, Noah, who was in command, was also included.

After explaining the members again, she briefly summarized the mission of Group 1.

“It has the role of reaching the source of Astevan and destroying it.”

“Right. Then, group 2… … .”

“It’s role is to determine the location of the source. “There are two warriors who specialize in tracking.”

Cadel, Sven, Perticia.

Not to mention Sven, the hunter, Perticia also shares senses with spirits. Thanks to her she has tremendous vision.

So it would be suitable for finding the source.

“Finally, Group 3 has the role of assisting other groups. Its role is to attract the enemy’s attention or disperse the enemy’s attacks.”

This mission is mainly suitable for Delia.

Ian and Ibella’s main role is to protect Delia. After Noah’s detailed explanation, Cadel silently nodded.

As if the question was finally resolved.

“So when we face Asteban, everyone has to remember their roles and fight.”

“i get it. “Keep that in mind.”

When Ulan nodded, the other party members also agreed to Noah’s words. At that time, the white wolf that had been walking for a while suddenly stopped walking.

[Grrr!]

A white tiger growling into the air.

After a while, the guy looked back at Ulan and cried again as if he was saying something.

Ulan reflexively looked back at Perticia, and soon the correct interpretation came out.

“From now on, we will speed up the pace.”

“Increasing the speed? The reason is?”

“Astevan noticed that we escaped the repetitive maze. So, it is said that there is a high possibility that he will resort to trickery again.”

I was amazed at how he found out that fact, but I didn’t bother to ask.

The important thing was not to resolve the doubt, but to prepare for Asteban’s plans.

It was then.

“… … “The roads are changing.”

As soon as Perticia’s interpretation was finished, Sven spoke as if warning. Just as he said, the structure of the road quickly changed and Noah opened his eyes wide.

“That… … .”

A phenomenon in which space becomes distorted.

This is a phenomenon that appears when Asteban intervenes in the Demon Palace. Likewise, Ulan, who saw this scene, silently nodded.

“I guess that’s the right answer.”

This is proof that Baekrang’s words are correct.

Soon the white wolf kicked the ground. The intention is to break through the path at once before the distortion of space ends.

At the same time, Ulrin’s group quickly followed after him. But at that moment, a new disruptor appeared to block the way.

[Crook! Shut up!]

[Quaaaa!]

An undead army armed with armor and shields.

Hundreds of dead people increased in the blink of an eye, blocking the passage. Of course, it had no particular meaning.

Push! Quad Deuk!

No matter how powerful the undead were, they were not enough to block an ax imbued with the power of the spirit.

“Move again.”

After pulverizing all the dead, Ulan and his party continued their journey. Then, suddenly, the white wolf’s steps became much faster than before.

At the same time, Perticia’s cry was heard.

“They say they’re speeding up!”

According to the explanation, the white wolf said this.

You have to move twice as fast as you do now to escape the distortion of space.

However, there was a problem.

The point is that Noah and Delia’s physical strength is significantly lower than that of others. So, instead of speeding up, it was getting slower.

‘If it continues like this… … .’

In all likelihood, you will be caught up in the distortion of space and end up wandering through a repetitive maze. Such a situation had to be prevented, so Ulan came up with special measures.

And then I immediately put it into action.

“Ouch! Uh, Ulan?”

Noah, startled, screamed.

It wasn’t just her. Delia also looked embarrassed for a moment.

This was because Ulan suddenly grabbed the two girls and dragged them away. Furthermore, he carried the other three girls on his shoulders like luggage and spoke in a whisper.

“Hold on tight. “Because we will expand our territory.”

At those words, the group realized.

What are Ulan’s intentions?

The group each grabbed the magic armor’s exoskeleton with all their might to prevent it from falling.

And soon the territory unfolded.

Forty-nine steps.

In the blink of an eye, the gap narrowed.

At the same time, Cadel and Ian also expanded their territory and followed behind Ulan. Around the time I barely managed to stop myself from being left behind by the white wolf.

[Gaaaa!]

A group of undead appeared again.

The ship is larger than before.

But this time, I couldn’t swing the ax hastily. If he entered the battle incorrectly, the companions on his shoulders could have been injured.

However, the worry did not last long.

“I will clear the way.”

“I will join you too!”

There were two masters by Ulan’s side.

Cadel and Ian quickly took the lead and swung the sword of light wrapped in divine power.

Whoa! Suddenly! Crack!

A sword strike as indifferent as cutting down weeds.

The undead were unable to withstand the divine power and were turned into powder and scattered. As soon as the obstacles disappeared, Ulan ran at a furious pace.

“They say you just have to go a little further!”

Perticia, who was listening to the white wolf’s words, announced that they would soon arrive at their destination. On the other hand, Laurea looked embarrassed for a moment.

“Um, is this really the right place?”

“yes! “Yes.”

“No matter how you look at it, it’s a blocked road… … .”

Laurea’s reaction was not strange.

In the direction the group is currently heading, there is a thick-looking wall blocking their path.

But there was no problem.

“Then, just pierce it and that’s it.”

Delia has already finished chanting magic.

Without hesitation, she stretched out her hand towards the wall, and soon a 7-star star cluster magic was activated.

Starlight bombing.

A magic that fires extremely concentrated star magic in a straight line. It is a strategic magic that is powerful enough to change the terrain.

Of course, but…

It was too much to just break down a wall.

Quagga-ga-ga! Quaaaaaaaaa!

A wall that disappears in the blink of an eye.

The white wolf was the first to jump through the billowing smoke. Subsequently, Ulan and his party also arrived at the space beyond the wall.

Soon a new scenery unfolded.

“This place… … .”

It was a very bizarre space.

A black swamp with a foul odor spread across the floor, and the walls were decorated with skulls of both humans and animals.

Is that all there is?

There was a sight of numerous corpses hanging from the ceiling, tied with ropes. However, there was something else that caught the group’s attention more than anything else.

A throne made of human bones.

A red-robed wizard sitting alone in a grotesque space.

As I was facing the blue eye light that burned quietly like a will-o’-the-wisp, a creepy voice like scraping metal came from the other person.

【You guy―.】

The moment I heard that voice.

Furthermore, the moment Ulan encountered its burning eyes, he felt it instinctively.

That guy is none other than Asteban, the undead lord, the number one monarch.

9.

A similar time.

Astevan, the lord of the immortals, happily watched Ulan and his party wandering through the repetitive maze through a video floating in the air.

【Okay, struggle even harder.】

Even as he watched hundreds of undead being turned into powder, he did not lose his composure.

There are too many dead people anyway.

Therefore, his goal was to persistently harass them in this way and drive them into a corner both physically and mentally.

【Then the fatigue will accumulate, and eventually you will lose strength and collapse on your own.】

But the smile on his face did not last long. This was because an unexpected being appeared next to Ulan and his group.

【That… … .】

A huge wolf with white fur.

The moment he spotted the wolf circling around Ulan and his group, Asteban’s eyes narrowed.

It’s because I was somehow familiar with it.

Where did you see it? When I was looking back for a moment, a memory from a long time ago came back to me. It was a memory from before he turned into an immortal body.

【- Kazan Rudrik’s descendants.】

Memories of the past came to mind like a thunderbolt.

As I bit my teeth persistently, I soon remembered its exact identity. One of the three clans under Kazan Rudrik.

【White wolf of Mimu (迷霧).】

From its appearance to its presence, it was clearly the white tiger I remembered from long ago. As soon as I remembered such a clear identity, doubts arose.

【Why is Ludrick’s dog here?】

The blue eyes were tilted to one side.

As if you can’t understand the current situation.

It was natural. Astevan knows, Rudrik’s family only follows Kazan Rudrik or the successor who inherited his mission and will.

【Wait, successor?】

Asteban’s eyes shone fiercely.

There is no way Kazan could have been revived, so the only possibility left is that there is a successor to him.

Immediately after recalling this speculation.

I felt like the puzzles that had been scattered around in my head were coming together.

【Could it be the variable that Lacus hid…? … .】

Is he the successor to Kazan Rudrik?

Then it makes sense for the white wolf to follow.

Furthermore, it is understandable that the twelve families within that group suffered. If he is Ludrick’s successor, he is a threat powerful enough to surpass the Star Agent.

That’s when I faced the truth.

Suddenly, his blue eyes flickered as if he was agitated. This is because they noticed that the warrior and the white wolf had escaped from the repeating maze.

【───!】

Moreover, I even made eye contact with the white tiger beyond the space. At that moment, Asteban had an intuition. That his location was discovered.

【That damn hound!】

A harsh roar that shakes the intestines.

However, this is not something that can be solved by just venting anger. After assessing the situation, Asteban began to actively intervene in Magung.

It distorts the space from where Ulan and his party are to where they are and turns all the terrain into a repeating maze.

At the same time, he awakened elite troops from among the dead sleeping in the magic palace. It was to tie up the feet of Ulan and his party.

However, Ulan’s power was too great for that, and in the end, all Asteban’s moves were in vain.

【then-!】

I will separate the space itself.

Astevan raised the magic power of the abyss.

I was planning to hide deep in the palace to avoid the Ulan group that had come a short distance away.

But at that moment.

The Ulan group, united as one, expanded their territory and quickly narrowed the gap.

Quagga-ga-ga! Quaaaaaaaaa!

Furthermore, the artificially created wall to separate the space collapsed, and at the same time, a strong presence was felt from beyond.

【… … .】

With that, Asteban’s mouth closed.

This is because I realized that it was already too late.

Is that why? Asteban looked at the group that had arrived here with calm eyes.

But then.

There was someone who particularly caught my eye.

【You guy―.】

A being wearing huge armor like a golem.

A warrior looking towards us with a white wolf, each holding an ax wrapped in a spirit in each hand.

The moment Asteban met the bright red eyes visible through the helmet, he had a hunch. That he is the successor to Kazan Rudrik.
