Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 90

Johanna lightly removed the pipe from her mouth. White smoke flowed from her mouth like a haze.

‘This is no joke.’

She frowned.

When I received a call from Bae Seung-ju, I thought it was not a big problem, but when I came in person, the situation was different.

‘The size of the obelisk is huge, but it’s a barrier that covers this size.’

To others it might look like a gray mist, but to her it was different.

Johanna inhaled deeply.

‘Necromancer… It’s a magic I really don’t want to get involved with.’

An unpleasant, intrusive feeling unique to necromancy swept through her body.

‘I wouldn’t have come if it wasn’t for Mr. Kang.’

Kang Tae-min was in this.

A man who possesses two different types of mana, but does not know the cause.

However, Johanna knew that Kang Tae-min lied.

‘The mana of a person whose memory is unclear is not that dark.’

Spirit and mana are closely related. And the growth of the soul is made up of experiences and memories.

Therefore, saying that Kang Tae-min did not remember well was an obvious lie. However, she did not ask Kang Tae-min the truth on the spot.

‘What do you know? What is it that you are hiding?’

Other than that, it was because even Johanna could not know.

If he really came from the same dimension as himself, how did the soul come over, or if the separation between the body and the soul was made for another reason.

As Johanna, who pursues knowledge, there was no way to find out other than Kang Tae-min.

‘If I help him this time, he’ll open his heart a little more.’

Johanna was determined to take her time.

The distance had to be close enough for Kang Tae-min to reveal his secret or answer her question honestly. It was the reason she came here after a month.

‘… But the problem is that the situation is more serious than expected.’

Yohanna tried several breaking techniques, but the barrier didn’t budge. No matter how you think about it, this wasn’t a normal barrier.

“Johanna!”

An urgent voice distracted her. But Johanna was not offended.

There are not many people who can call her name carelessly.

“It’s late.”

“How, how can I open it?”

She shook her head at Pyo Ji-hoon’s question, which became contemplative.

“Something different. I have tried everything I know of, but nothing works.”

“Well then? Should I just watch it like this?”

“I need more time.”

“Time, how long? Is there anything I can do to help? yes?”

“Pyo Ji-hoon, calm down.”

“Calm down… ! Suho, Suho is inside!

Despite his desperation, Johanna’s facial muscles did not budge. She glanced around to make sure no one was there.

“… I still don’t get it. Isn’t that your child?”

“Johanna… !”

“You know that I can see mana, right? I’m sorry, but it still doesn’t look ‘human’.”

Pyo Ji-hoon’s face was distorted. He gritted his teeth and glared at Johanna.

“… Suho is my responsibility, my ‘son’.”

“I respect your decision. But don’t force me.”

“But Suho, you… .”

The moment Pyo Ji-hun tries to say something more in response to Johanna’s determined voice.

“I came out… !”

“I live!”

“Whoaaa!”

The barrier split and a series of people hurriedly ran out. The two turned their heads in surprise.

“… father?”

“Suho!”

Seeing his son behind the survivors who ran out, Pyo Ji-hun ran. He hurriedly checked the condition of the Pyosu Lake.

“Are you okay? Where, where are you injured?”

“I’m fine! No, support sooner than that… !”

Pyo Soo-ho hurriedly shook his head and explained the situation.

“Mr. Kang?”

“You mean alone?”

“Yes… ! So come on… !”

Pyo Ji-hoon entered the room with a firm expression on his face.

“Suho, go out first. I will not bring the teacher.”

“I will go too.”

Johanna also came in after him. Rather than canceling the barrier, it would have been better to help Kang Tae-min directly to clear the debt.

But before long, her expression changed as she looked inside.

“… such crazy.”

“Johanna?”

Pyo Ji-hoon looked away in surprise as she did not usually use a radical tone.

“I’ll explain as I go. Don’t rush.”

“I will go too!”

At that time, the Pyosuho entered. The barriers that split with him were repaired in an instant.

“what… ! Hurry up and leave!”

“No, Father.”

Pyo Soo-ho flatly refused.

“I am the only one who can open the barrier right now. There is no point in looking for a teacher without me!”

Pyo Ji-hoon was dumbfounded.

‘Is Suho rejecting my words?’

He was always an obedient son. Most parents get into trouble when their children don’t listen, but Pyo Ji-hoon was rather delighted.

‘It’s changed.’

The education entrusted to Kang Tae-min showed results. Moreover, since he knew his son’s intentions during the consultation with Kang Tae-min, the change was all the more welcome.

“… I get it. But never step forward.”

“Yes!”

So the three of them moved quickly. The undead came out again from everywhere made of corpses, but they could not be their opponents.

“I knew it.”

Johanna, who had turned a huge troll zombie into ashes in an instant, opened her mouth.

“Johanna?”

“This is not simply a place where the undead haunt. The undead are just byproducts of the magic circle nestled in the obelisk.”

“What does that mean?”

“… This is the sacrificial tower.”

“A sacrifice? Wait a minute, please… .”

Pyo Ji-hoon’s expression became serious. Pyo Soo-ho looked at the two and asked with an anxious face.

“father? What are you doing?”

“There is only one tribe that desires a sacrifice.”

“This is a place for summoning demons.”

devil.

Beings who manifest in exchange for sacrifices.

“Probably, if you go upstairs, the demons who ate the sacrifices will be waiting for you, not the undead.”

“That word… .”

Pyo Soo-ho’s expression darkened.

I’ve never encountered a demon, but I’ve heard enough experiences.

“Devils are difficult to deal with without magical help.”

“I hope Mr. Kang doesn’t climb high.”

No matter how highly the two people rated Kang Tae-min, their worries preceded them.

* * *

“Sal, save me!”

“Ouch… !”

“how… ?!”

A pitiful scream echoed from all directions.

‘Die… ! really die… !’

It was an unexpected situation.

I came to play with a light heart like usual.

‘Oops, I didn’t expect a monster like this to appear… !’

Cruel martial arts.

Countless lives were lost at that merciless touch. Overwhelming and irresistible violence.

In front of him, any resistance was meaningless.

‘That’s the devil, the iron devil… !’

With a keying noise, blood and flesh splatter in all directions. A group of men in steel suits were slaughter.

Among them, it was the thought the devil felt when he saw the iron man approaching him.

“I will give you strength! If you sign a contract with me… .”

The iron man, Kang Tae-min, silently wielded a rip-and-tear. Like a chimera, the jumbled demons separated and fell to the floor.

‘What kind of strength does such a weak guy give me?’

Kang Tae-min quickly scanned the surroundings. His clones have finished wiping out the other demons.

‘It took a little longer than I thought.’

The undead he dealt with on the lower floors could be crushed in an instant. But at some point, the landscape changed.

Previously, the corpses had been crumpled like bricks, but now the corpses were entangled and pulsating as if they were all united.

‘I can’t believe the demons are there.’

At first, just like the Goblin King summoned, there were only demons without intelligence. However, the higher the floor, the more intelligent and magical demons appeared.

It wasn’t just force, but various destructive magic and mental magic were rampant.

‘If the other hunters had come, the damage would have been great.’

However, it was a power that did not work at all for Kang Tae-min, who was capable of metallization and restoration.

In the end, even if he had intelligence, it was the same that he would become mush in front of Kang Tae-min and the clones’ inaction.

The iron man corps broke through to the top floor in an instant and stood in front of the boss room.

“Coming all the way here will make a good quality sacrifice.”

A grotesque voice echoed along with a sullen laugh. Along with him, the flesh walls pulsated violently.

Before long, the ceiling cracked and a skeleton covered in soggy blood came down.

“Rejoice in being born again into a greater being.”

It was the ‘Demonic Lich’ who built this obelisk and made a contract with the devil. It was a mighty monster that could use necromancy as well as demonic magic.

“You will be my master and the pinnacle of demons… .”

It was before he could even conclude his words, exhaling the glow of the red skull. The steel needles that flew with the sound of a bang went through the eyes and went into the skull.

“You guys… !”

The demonic lich made a sound like a scream over Kaga’s voice. However, the iron needle did not stop and dug into the inside.

The light in his eyes, which he had formed with him, became blurred, and the demonic lich’s body lost its balance and collapsed.

“How could… ?”

The demonic lich received magic power through the 7 magic circles drawn inside the skull.

It was the same concept as the Life Vessel of ordinary riches, but the difference was that the magic power source was the devil.

Each of the seven magic circles had a different size, and even if only one of them functioned, it could be revived.

In other words, to remove the demonic lich, you have to remove all 7 magic circles at the same time.

“So frustrating… .”

But how the heck did that iron man know that? Demonic Lich had to face the death he had avoided so much in doubt and sorrow.

Kang Tae-min silently stepped on the disorganized bloody skull and crushed it.

‘Did I become Necrod’s minion here?’

Taemin Kang had already dealt with Demonic Lich while chasing Nekrod. It was quite difficult at the time, but now he had a clear understanding of the strategy.

He stood at the door leading to the boss room. Like the rest, it was a door made of pulsating flesh.

Taemin Kang kicked in the door without hesitation. The door slammed open with a slap and spewed dark red blood.

‘Something different.’

The inside of the boss room was completely different from before. There were no corpses to be sacrificed, no walls made of flesh.

A space surrounded by a black rock, the same material as the obelisk.

A scarecrow was placed in the middle. Of course, it was no ordinary scarecrow.

‘core.’

A dungeon core was embedded in its chest. Kang Tae-min immediately threw a metal blade, and the clones slashed their bodies after that.

But nothing reached the scarecrow.

The scarecrow’s body seemed to be shaking, but it was because a huge wave of flesh surged from the inside.

The blade was buried in the flesh and was invisible, and the clones were shattered with the collision.

‘As expected, the boss had it.’

The reason Taemin Kang came here.

The effect of the ‘Abyss Fragment’, an artifact that became Necrod’s power like the blood jade, was evident.

‘Without this, he can’t move easily.’

The fragment of the Abyss was the key to opening the huge subspace. Nerod kept his undead in a subspace and took them out whenever needed.

It was an essential artifact for Necrod because it didn’t have a corpse in every battle.

＜This… the sacrifice… not… ＞

The flesh that was pushed out went back into the scarecrow in an instant. Along with that, a strange voice came into my head.

＜My Advent… More… You need a body… ＞

It was ironic.

Before returning, if Necrod hadn’t visited this place, the Great Devil would have manifested.

Perhaps something worse than what Nekrod had done could have happened.

But to Kang Tae-min, whether he is worse or less bad.

“Your nanny is already dead.”

The opponent to be dealt with did not change.

* * *

“… What do you think?”

“To think he could have dealt with so many demons by himself… .”

To Pyo Ji-hoon’s words, Johanna answered as if muttering. Pyo Soo-ho only opened his mouth slightly as if he was surprised.

“Is it really possible to do it alone? If there were any other hunters left… .”

I couldn’t believe I was alone when I thought of the number of demon corpses I found on my way up the floor.

But Johanna shook her head.

“I don’t believe it, but it’s not a wizard’s job to deny the reality right in front of them.”

“Then really… ?”

“yes. It must have been done by Mr. Kang alone.”

“her… I thought it was unusual, but this is not enough to say that.”

Pyo Ji-hoon and Johanna also had the confidence to deal with demons. That’s why I didn’t go back right away and came up to find Kang Tae-min.

However, he did not have the confidence to win such an overwhelming victory alone.

“Ah, anyway, hurry up. If you can see demons, doesn’t that mean the top floor is close!?”

Pyo Soo-ho urged the two of them. The moment I try to move my steps again.

“Wait, what are you talking about?”

“This… .”

At Pyo Ji-hoon’s words, Johanna also frowned. A faint whining noise tickled my ears.

Pyo Soo-ho, unable to hear anything, shook his head. This allowed him to identify the source of the noise more quickly.

“father! Overlapping space… !”

At Pyo Soo-ho’s cry, the two soon noticed a change. The appearance of the shopping mall was returning from the outskirts of the obelisk.

“Was that sound a drone… !?”

The space where the three of them were was an indoor garden prepared as a shelter in a shopping mall. Through the collapsed window, I saw several drones that detect magic waves.

“The release of the overlapping space… !”

Pyo Soo-ho clenched his fists and tried to raise his voice, but then stopped suddenly.

At the end of his line of sight, a man leaning against the railing on the top floor smoking a cigarette.

“Teacher!”

“Sensei Kang!”

“Are you all right!?”

Three people called him at the same time. Unlike them who were so surprised, Kang Tae-min exhaled smoke and opened his mouth with a calm face.

“What are you all here for?”

It was as if we met during a break from work.
