A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 498



Asura (3)

Lize tried to prepare for every possible situation, because the situation in the East was very unstable.

It doesn’t matter if war breaks out as predicted, and it’s better if it doesn’t. War is a fight in which many people die and are injured.

No matter how chaotic it was, I did not like the loss of life. But ironically, there is no word that is as close to chaos as war.

So, even if we can’t stop the war, let’s save the lives that will fall in it. I had that kind of thought after meeting Danjucheon.

But as the teachings of chaos say, life doesn’t always go as planned. She recalled her original goal.

‘I knew there were traces of the devil, but······’

She glared fiercely at the purple demon, Asura, who was confronting her.

A demon with three heads and six arms. As a purple demon, it possesses terrifying power.

While normal humans can freely use their two arms, Asura has a whopping six arms, which is a pain in the ass.

It wasn’t like I was blocking an attack. The moment I blocked it, other arms would attack and take advantage of the gap.

You might say that it’s such an obvious tactic, but it’s a headache because it works. No matter how strong you are, it’s hard to overcome your physical limitations.

-Chiieek!!!

As Shivar was, demons are very vulnerable to divine power. Rize narrowed her eyes and glared at Asura.

One of Asura’s arms was burning away. The demon’s extraordinary regenerative powers were of little use.

That’s because it’s a purple demon, but if it was a demon below that, it would have burned like oiled paper as soon as it touched the divine power.

The fact that it can inflict this kind of damage on Purple shows exactly what kind of ‘natural enemy’ it is.

“As expected of a saint. She’s become much stronger than when I saw her last time.”

-Crunch!

Asura evaluated it as such and lightly cut off the arm that was burning with divine power. It was a clean cut using the blade of his hand.

Then, a new arm sprouted from the severed arm, revealing just how remarkable the demons’ regenerative powers are.

Instead of answering, Lize glanced behind her. The place where Shivar and Danyerin had fled. Now, the terrain was open.

‘Another barrier has been struck.’

But the outside scenery that should have been visible was all bright purple. Someone had set up a barrier.

There is a high chance that Asura hit her, but she knows very well who Asura is. First of all, she is the type of person who finds it annoying to put up barriers.

Maintaining a barrier beyond just creating it ultimately means using only one head, but would an Asura who is crazy about fighting really do something like that?

Not at all. Moreover, he did not understand why Asura insisted on holding him back.

‘Even if the target is the Shivar brothers, it will be burdensome to have two purple ones appear.’

That must mean there was another purple out there, or at least a blue one. Lize was sure of that.

If two purple ones appear, the gods won’t stay still. It’s practically a declaration of war.

‘If Brother Shivar falls to the devils······’

It’s not a hopeless ending. Instead, a series of not-so-good situations will occur, whether it’s Shivar or someone else.

Especially, women who are in love with Shivar will be the most heartbroken.

“Stop wasting time. Are you not going to show me your skills?”

“I am being sincere, Saint.”

“Your words are as good as lies. I know your abilities. It seems like you plan to tie me up and take Shivar away.”

“You already know everything.”

Asura snickered and then spat out a mocking remark.

“So, Saint, what can you do?”

“··· ···”

“Will you knock me down, or will you just obey?”

As soon as Lize heard that, she snickered. She thought it was funny.

While Asura made a puzzled expression, Lize stepped back with her right foot.

-Wooo!!!

At the same time, a strong energy began to gather from her right fist. It was powerful enough to cause a slight vibration.

Asura immediately took a defensive stance as soon as he sensed the ominous energy. He raised all his arms to block, not just two.

“Kill you.”

At the same time, Lize said with a sly smile.

“I will take Brother Shivar with me.”

-Crack!!!

A crack appeared in the space near the fist that had not yet been struck. And······

-Kwaaa …

A huge flash of light engulfed Asura.

*****

I can only describe my feelings right now in one word: hopeless despair.

The only being that could barely stick with Lize was the purple demon, but right now she was being marked by Asura.

To make matters worse, I have people I have to protect. It’s more than a dilemma.

From noble mtl dot com

“Poem, Shivar. I, the author······”

“··· ···”

Dan Ye-rin must have sensed the ominous atmosphere. She held onto my arm tightly and leaned on me.

But, despairingly, there is little I can do now, for the gap between the lie and me is as wide as heaven and earth.

If I didn’t know the power of lies, I would have just charged in. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

However, when the Academy collapsed, I felt the power of lies deeply. From the beginning, my instincts were refusing to fight.

What if Dan Ye-rin gets hurt like Lord did in a fight for no reason? What if she gets hurt and someone precious to her gets sacrificed?

Wouldn’t it be better to just go along with his wishes? This could be a good thing for both of us.

“Did you get a new girlfriend while I wasn’t seeing you? Last time she was a Tatar, and this time she’s an Oriental.”

“··· ···”

“As I said last time, if you want, you can go with me. It’ll be better that way.”

A lie suggested by a kind grandfather. But consider that his name is ‘Lie’.

It’s not a friendly suggestion at all. It’s probably on par with, or worse than, telling you to go to hell.

Besides, he had already revealed his true intentions. He said he would take me by force and use me like a stallion.

If you hear that and go along thinking, “Oh, really?” then you’re an idiot. The problem is that even if you know all this, you have no choice but to follow along.

“I know what you’re thinking. It must be so frustrating, you can’t see any way out.”

“··· ···”

“They say it’s easier to give up, kid. I······”

-Phuk!

As my mind was becoming increasingly complicated, a hairpin suddenly appeared in the false eye.

It was even more noticeable because it was a normal eye, not a blindfold. I couldn’t help but be startled the moment I saw it.

There was only one person here who used a hairpin like a magic wand, and I felt a strong force in his hand.

“Run away! What are you dawdling for?”

“Yes, Yerin?”

“You were the one who taught me to fight till the end, so why are you giving up already! You have to do something to find a way to survive!”

Dan Ye-rin grabbed my hand and shouted. I couldn’t help but be dumbfounded when I heard her shout.

It’s as she said. I was the one who gave hope to her when she had half given up on life, and I was the one who made that hope come true.

It may be difficult to compare Dan Ye-rin’s situation to mine, but the situations themselves are similar.

“What a charming woman. You’ll make a great couple.”

While running away, I heard the sound of Lie clicking her tongue behind me. The hairpin that had been stuck in my eye was now in my hand.

Yes. Dan Ye-rin is right. It didn’t suit my personality to just stand still and give up.

Lizeda. Let’s just hold out until Lize can come to our aid. Fighting lies head on is suicide.

-Kwaruruk!

As soon as I had that thought, the ground began to move as if it were alive. It was the same attack I had seen during the collapse of the Academy.

In fact, the entire palace is nothing more than a weapon of lies. At this point, there is only one thing I can do.

-Phew!!!

Shooting a death beam at the liar. This is the only long-range deterrent I have.

Of course, Lie swung her staff and easily blocked the death beam, but it was obvious that she was annoyed.

‘Now that I think about it······’

As Lize mentioned before, purple can be neutralized with red.

It is possible because the magical powers are contrasting. This is not at a disadvantage at all.

Moreover, since we could bring lightning with us, we could buy some time.

When I was thinking about it over and over again and devising a strategy to counter the lies,

“Where are you going in such a hurry?”

“!!!”

Suddenly, a lie appeared right in front of us. It was moving at a speed that we couldn’t even keep up with with our eyes.

It must be a space-related magic. It’s a demonic magic that deals with spatial limitations and such.

I reached out my hand urgently, but my next move was impossible.

-Two-wook!

My wrist was cut cleanly off and fell to the floor, out of sight.

-Quadduk! Quadduk!

“Kwaaak!”

Not only that, thorns sprouted from the floor and pierced my body all over.

I, who possess the Steel King trait, easily broke through. I was completely subdued.

“He, he······!”

“You be quiet.”

Dan Ye-rin approached urgently, but Lie struck first. She waved her hand and trapped him in a barrier.

Dan Ye-rin tried various methods to break the barrier, such as striking it with her fist or using a weapon, but it was useless.

“Tsk tsk. I wish you had just followed along.”

“Ugh······ Ugh······ Kkuluk!”

“I didn’t mean to hurt you······ Well, you’re sturdy, so I guess you’ll be fine.”

As I was starting to feel dizzy from the thorns binding my body, the lie slowly reached out and spoke.

“Well, let’s go back home now.”

“··· ···”

“You have a lot to do, so please bear with it for a little longer.”

It was the kindest speech in the world, but to me it was the whisper of the devil itself.

I tried my best, but it was all meaningless. Lize, who was supposed to help me, is still fighting Asura.

‘No······ No······!’

The hand of lies was getting closer. I shut my eyes tightly in fear that I might lose everything.

Please, anyone can help me get out of here······ Please help me······

“That’s amazing.”

“hmm?!”

“······?”

Would my earnest request, or rather prayer, be granted? A familiar voice was heard behind the lies.

Dan Ye-rin, who was trapped in the barrier, looked at him with a blank expression, as if she had heard it.

“At first it was just a curiosity. But now I’ve seen something annoying.”

“you······”

“Get out of here. The man you’re holding.”

Did chaos answer my prayer, or did it come directly to answer my prayer?

“She is my wife’s companion.”

The Heavenly Horse has revealed itself.
