The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 370

Chapter 74 End (4)

8.

An army pouring in with darkness.

Numerous monsters and abyss worshipers rushed towards the warrior and his party.

Of course, they are not the heroes’ opponents.

Even if Ulan and Noah were absent, there were two strong masters here, and in addition, there was an archmage and a saint.

But the reality was different from expectations.

“Whoo, whoo!”

After cutting off the monster’s head, Ian calmed his rough breathing. She then addressed Bella, who was back to back with her.

“… … “Don’t you think it’s a little strange?”

“Yes, my body is quite heavy.”

Ybella nodded immediately.

As she said, her entire body was as heavy as cotton soaked in water. That’s not all. Her floor also turned into a swamp and her feet were sinking.

Ibella frowned and muttered because she had never felt anything like this before.

“Did abyss erosion have this effect?”

“I do not know. “The saint is struggling, so for now, all we can do is wait.”

Ian, who cut off the head of a worshiper who attacked him by surprise, glanced back.

Laurea’s eyes shine brightly.

She was currently trying to find out the opponent’s weaknesses using the power of the projection eye, an eye that penetrates the essence.

How long has it been like that?

Laurea, who was looking alternately at the darkness of the abyss, the monsters, the worshipers, and Lacus, soon let out a short sigh.

“How are you feeling?”

“Did you find out anything?”

“Yes, first of all, the darkness surrounding us is a bit different from the darkness of the abyss that I have seen so far.”

“What, how, is it different?”

“The darkness before was literally as dark and empty as the darkness of night, but the darkness now is like a swamp with no end.”

Laurea swallowed her dry saliva. Then he muttered with trembling eyes.

“… … “It’s to the point where I believe it’s the abyss itself that my old self briefly stepped into.”

It feels as if the abyss beyond the gap has poured out. In response to Lau Lea’s response, Delia narrowed her eyes.

“That means that this is not a simple abyss, erosion, phenomenon.”

“Is it possible that when the door to the abyss opened, a little of the darkness of the true abyss leaked out?”

Then Perticia made a guess.

Since it made some sense, Delia also nodded in agreement.

But Laurea shook her head.

“Probably not. If that guess is correct, a phenomenon similar to the present must have occurred even before Lacus appeared.”

All of the strange events that have hit the group began with the appearance of Lacus. In other words, it meant that there was a high possibility that Lacus was the culprit of the situation.

“and… … .”

Laurea closed her mouth for a moment.

She turned her gaze and focused on Lacus in the distance. Soon after, her eyes began to flutter violently.

After a while, Laurea could no longer see Lacus and looked away. Then he muttered as if letting out a short sigh.

“That’s different from the monarchs I’ve encountered so far.”

“yes? “What do you mean?”

“The Lords of the Abyss we have faced so far each had something in common. “It means that we were able to observe the power that creates existence.”

The power that forms existence, the source.

It was the same when dealing with Farus, the ruler of the swamp, and when facing the giant king Largtan, Laurea clearly felt the existence of the source.

On the other hand, Lacus couldn’t see it.

Delia refuted these words as if she was saying something out of the blue.

“That’s because the source is hidden somewhere.”

“that’s right. What Noah said, right? Lacus hides his origin in an unrecognizable crevice of space.”

Perticia added detailed reasons.

And one more thing. He mentioned a being whose origin could not be seen other than Lacus.

“Also, if you were a being without a source, Astevan would be the same. “Because he fought us not with his original body, but with his alter ego.”

Astevan, Lord of the Immortals.

When dealing with him, the warriors went through considerable hardships. This is because he drove the warriors into a corner while hiding the source.

The current situation is similar to then.

So I spoke as if to rebut, but Laurea shook her head.

“I said something wrong. “What I was trying to say was not simply the presence or absence of a source.”

“huh? “Then what is it?”

“I’m talking about the essence.”

All things have their own essence.

The essence of Parus, the ruler of the swamp, was a swamp that one could endlessly sink into, and the essence of Asteban, the lord of the immortals, was a desert that would never rot.

The nature of Largtan, the giant king whom I had recently faced, was also a huge mountain and rock.

“In this way, similar essences to each monarch’s nickname have been observed so far.”

So Laurea guessed.

Lacus is also called the Eye of the Abyss, so it must have an essence related to eyes.

But the expectations were completely wrong.

“However, the essence of Lacus was different.”

“How was it different?”

“That… … .”

Laurea looked at Lacus again and hugged his trembling shoulders. Then he muttered in a voice that was shaking as much as his shoulders.

“… … The abyss itself.”

“what?”

“To put it bluntly, I think it was as if I just lifted the entire abyss beyond the gap and brought it back.”

Laurea trembled once.

As if I was remembering the time I fell into the abyss.

Perticia gently hugged Laurea with a worried face, and Delia frowned and summarized her words in one word.

“Anyway, it’s not an easy, difficult opponent.”

“Yes, we have no chance of winning with our strength alone. I have to summon Ulan somehow… … .”

Even that is difficult at the moment.

Because of the curtain of the abyss that rose up with Lacus, not even spirits can escape.

Perticia, who was listening to the conversation between the two, moved her lips as if she was about to say something.

“Well, actually… … .”

“why? “Do you have anything to say?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

But then he shook his head. Then he silently glanced at Lacus. Meanwhile, Perticia was not the only one keeping an eye on Lacus.

Ibella, who was swinging her sword at the forefront with Ian, also suddenly turned her attention to Lacus.

“That… … .”

This was because while the monsters and worshipers of the abyss were pushing the warriors, Lacus approached the gate of the abyss.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the size of the door began to grow little by little. The moment I saw this, what Noah said suddenly flashed through my mind.

“The good news is that the Abyss Gate is not yet complete.”

He said that three conditions are necessary to make an incomplete door complete, and in the current situation, both conditions have already been met.

There is only one condition left.

It is only the true abyss that manifests its power.

And according to the group’s guess, the being currently closest to the true abyss is Lacus.

‘If you put all of this together… … .’

I was able to quickly figure out what Lacus was trying to do by ignoring the heroes.

Immediately after completing self-awareness.

Ibella took a deep breath.

Then, I awakened all the senses in my body one by one and raised all the remaining aura.

“Ibella?”

Ian noticed this and looked at her in surprise. It was natural. Even if you use your strength as sparingly as possible, you can’t help but be surprised when you suddenly pour all your power into a situation where it is not enough.

“Why are you doing this? Even if it’s suspicious… … .”

Ian tried to guess the reason for Ibella’s behavior in his own way. But Ibella’s actions went much further than that.

“Ian, please take care of the back!”

“yes? Oh no! Wait!”

Ian shouted with a bewildered face as he saw Ibella kicking off the ground and running like a flash.

But Ibella did not stop.

‘It’s definitely dangerous.’

As I narrowed the gap, I had a strong intuition.

We have to stop him right away. Otherwise, something irreparable will happen. So, I expanded my territory without hesitation.

‘Reach!’

Finally, the moment Lacus entered the area, he put all the power he had gathered into his sword. Then he extended his sword, aiming for the guy’s left chest.

Sigh! Kwasik!

A dull sound followed.

The sensation of a cold weapon piercing my skin was felt through my fingertips. Is it a success? Bella’s complexion brightened for a moment, but she quickly hardened again.

“Years and now, you are always the one who stands in my way.”

Lacus’s reaction was dry.

At that moment, Ibella realized.

What his sword pierced was not Lacus’ heart, but only his palm.

No, it would be more accurate to say that Lacus was aware of Ibella’s attack in advance.

“But I didn’t reach it this time.”

At that time, a mocking whisper was heard.

And with this as a signal, Ibella opened her eyes. This was because Lacus, who was quite far away, arrived right in front of him without any sign.

Pow!

What followed was a harsh blow.

Ibella managed to block it, but was unable to absorb the immense power.

“No!”

And the result. With a short moan, Bella rose into the air and was thrown into her corner.

“Ibella!”

Ian and Laurea, who witnessed this, hurriedly approached her. Lacus coldly muttered to those heroes.

“A time of cataclysm is approaching, so do not interfere. “After I open the door anyway, I’m going to swallow it all up without leaving a single one behind.”

Afterwards, he turned away without paying any attention to the warriors. He just looks at the door of the abyss and looks filled with joy.

But even for a moment.

A new disruptor has appeared.

[Kaaaaaaaa!]

A white object flew in for a split second.

It was none other than a white wolf.

The guy exposed his teeth aiming for Lacus’ nape, but unfortunately he couldn’t reach it.

“Is it you this time?”

This is because Lacus, who was aware of the attack in advance, pulled back. Then he suddenly made a strange expression. As if he had just realized something new.

“Ah, now that I think about it, you are also one of the victims of this strange incident. “In the past time, I have never confronted Jim.”

A smile flowing from your lips.

After some time, Lacus returned with an expressionless face, as if he had never smiled before.

“It’s just pointless.”

The sacred beast of the Desert Church.

A demonic beast outside the standard. Ludric’s family, etc.

Although it is called by various names, it is still only one group. The weight of a monarch is not light enough to be attacked by someone of his size.

[Grrr! Wow!]

On the other hand, the White Wolf did not stop its offensive.

Perhaps because it thought that its power alone was not enough, it soon split into numerous entities and began to strangle Lacus.

“Tsk, after all, an animal is an animal. Do you think that increasing the number of people will solve the problem?”

Lacus coldly laughs as he faces a pack of wolves coming from all directions. Finally, when he blinked, countless eyes sprouted from the curtain of the abyss that enveloped all around him.

──────!

As soon as the eyes opened, the movement of the wolf pack stopped. After a while, Lacus held out his hand and all the wolves shattered like smoke and scattered in the air.

And the main body of the white wolf hidden in the self-immolation also rolled around on the floor like a doll with its strings untied.

“It is truly a meaningless result.”

Even though he did this, the white wolf couldn’t even graze the tip of Lacus’ fur. It was around this time that Lacus once again expressed deep ridicule at this fact.

Suddenly the smile disappeared from my face.

“… … !”

Eyes that change little by little.

It had to be that way. While I was paying attention to the white wolf for a moment, someone who wasn’t there until a moment ago arrived within a stone’s throw of Lacus.

However, there was a real reason why Lacus’ expression had to change.

“haha!”

The sound of heavy breathing coming from behind.

Drops of sweat ran down my pale cheeks and down the tip of my chin along the blade. Soon, the sweat drops reached the upper body, which was spreading red.

It was none other than Lacus’ chest.

“Sword of Perception… … !”

Lacus’s eyes were shaking slightly.

What forms on its surface is a golden aura that shines elegantly even in the darkness of the abyss.

It was the sword of Geomhee (劍姬).

A momentary gap created by a white wolf.

The flash of light that passed through his teeth created a hole in Lacus’ left chest. Ibella, who succeeded in the surprise attack with all her might, took a deep breath to calm her pounding lungs.

“Whoa! Phew!”

Areas and areas. Boundaries and boundaries.

Furthermore, it is a sword of insight that pierces even the thinnest moments of space and space. Red blood spurted out from Lacus’ chest, which was properly pierced.

The eyes of Ibella, the person who created this result, sparkled brightly for an instant. But at that moment, Lacus’ hand suddenly moved like a flash of light.

“… … ! “Wow!”

A single word that came out without my knowledge.

Ibella felt momentarily suffocated and tried to pull Lacus’ arm away.

However, Lacus was steadfast and instead slowly lifted Ibella into the air.

“indeed. “This was quite a blow.”

Lacus nodded as if it was fun.

The feeling of embarrassment on his face disappeared completely. As if the surprised expression earlier was just entertainment.

“But this is a bit difficult. “The human body is inherently weak, so it is not easy to repair.”

Lacus covered his hole-filled chest with torn clothes and laughed humorously. Then he glared at Ibela with cold eyes.

“Originally I was going to deal with it after opening the door, but I changed my mind. After all, it would be better to get rid of the eyesores all at once.”

“Wow! “Ugh!”

“Hey, Ibella!”

At that time, Ian, who belatedly recognized Ibella’s crisis, urgently kicked the ground. It was to rescue Ibella, who was being held by Lacus.

But I couldn’t.

“shit! Move!”

Because the monsters of the abyss and the worshipers noticed his approach and blocked Ian’s path. Then Laurea and Delia also added their strength.

But unfortunately, their help did not reach Ibella.

gulp!

This is because the descendants of Lacus, who emerged from the veil of the abyss, consumed the holy spells and magic. By the time I blocked out all distractions.

“Bwak! “Ugh!”

Ibella’s face became increasingly pale.

Lacus whispered softly as he looked at Ibella, who was in pain because she couldn’t breathe.

“Farewell, my nemesis.”

Of course, I could have immediately tightened my grip and broken his neck. However, it would be more enjoyable to strangle him like this until he dies.

A smile bloomed on Lacus’ lips along with the cruel thought. After a while, the focus of the turquoise eyes was about to slowly disappear.

“… … ?”

Lacus’ eyes widened slightly.

question. surprised. Eyes colored with embarrassment. That’s because Bella, who was about to lose her breath, suddenly fell to the floor.

“Cluck, cough! Ugh!”

Ibella is in pain on the floor.

Lacus, on the other hand, was in a puzzled mood. Because he never let Ibella go. But how does he get free and start coughing?

When that thought suddenly occurred to me.

Lacus’ eyes grew a little wider.

“… … !”

I finally realized it.

The arm that was holding Ibella was cut off with a single knife. Lacus muttered blankly at the strange change that came before he even realized it.

“When on earth…” … .”

Who did this?

That’s what Lacus wanted to say.

However, before I could utter a word, the landscape split into two.

Crack! Kwasik!

The body was split in two by a red flash that fell from the sky. Lacus’ body, cut in two, collapsed, and Ibella, who had been coughing violently, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Cough! “Huh, ha!”

If he had been strangled just a little longer, he would have died for sure. Ibella barely returned from the end of the line of fire and grabbed the sword again.

Then, just as I was about to say thank you to Ian, who helped me just in the nick of time.

“Sorry for late.”

An unexpected voice was heard.

Ibella’s eyes widened for a moment at the voice she never expected to hear here.

“Uh, Ulan…” … ?!”

“Now rest easy. “Because I came.”

Along with a voice that made my heart feel strong just by hearing it, bright red eyes brightened up the darkness of the abyss.

It was the arrival of the long-awaited reinforcements.
