This place had transformed into a grand underground throne room, creating a bizarre scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large man dressed in a neat robe sat on a throne adorned with skulls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Calgart the Necromancer. The demon who led the Undead Legion and was once called the King of the Dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resurrected with a skeletal body, Calgart gradually regained his strength and gained flesh over his form, transforming into a muscular man with copper skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long, curved horns protruding from either side of his head and his entirely black eyes proved that he was definitely not human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounding him, the Undead Legion, imbued with dark mana, stood in formation. As a white-haired man suddenly entered the underground throne room, they all assumed a defensive stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the acrid stench of decay filling the air, the white-haired man continued unperturbed and stopped before the throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calgart glared at the man standing before him with emotionless eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired man, with skin so pale it appeared eerie, was an adult male.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had eyes on his cheeks, giving him a grotesque appearance typical of demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scoffed and locked his mysterious silver eyes on Calgart’s pitch-black ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[How dare a mere demon judge where one of noble birth should stand.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calgart extended a long finger toward the white-haired man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Kill him.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the command, the Undead Legion directed black magic circles toward the white-haired man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with an array of magic circles that unleashed dark magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwagagagang!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark magic raged like a flame, storm, and shower, assailing the white-haired man, tearing at him relentlessly, leaving nothing but shreds of his form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the white-haired man stood still, smiling, absorbing all the attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the massive undead warriors charged at him, swinging fists and weapons the size of human bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the relentless assault finally ceased, a dark, dusty cloud formed from the remnants of dark mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired man’s body, mostly gone, swayed like a reed in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saaaaaaa!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a sacred light, a divine power, swirled like a vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead warriors who had approached the white-haired man quickly retreated, instinctively reacting against the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Power dispersed the dark dust and instantly restored the white-haired man to his original form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwaak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Gwaaaa!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired man extended his long arm and grabbed the head of an undead warrior who had swung at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Power surged from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead warrior groaned and writhed in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What a barbaric welcome.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired man laughed leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calgart’s expression remained unchanged. Rational thinking made it clear that this man could not be killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t due to a lack of firepower. The enemy was simply an immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this was a heavenly being blessed with the power of immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[…Who are you?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Calgart asked, the white-haired heavenly being threw aside the undead warrior and made a gesture as if to sit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Divine Power coalesced in the air, transforming into a chair emitting a gentle sacred light from the divine realm. The white-haired heavenly being sat down and crossed his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the underground throne room, he alone shone serenely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I am Vuel.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavenly being, Vuel, extended his arm forward and pointed at the ground with his index finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To achieve his goal, Vuel had something he must accomplish in this world\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Summon Mephisto, Calgart. We have matters to discuss.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ropenheim Barony was located in the opposite direction of Märchen Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a pleasant pastureland on the outskirts of the Empire. However, contrary to the peaceful scenery, sinister and dark events frequently occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human trafficking organized by Baron Adrian Ropenheim was conducted across various regions under his control. Many children had yet to be transported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac had dispatched his minions to various branches involved in the trafficking under Baron Ropenheim’s jurisdiction. These locations were all disguised as taverns but were actually secret hideouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using his [Clairvoyance], Isaac had already identified the locations of the captured children. He intended to rescue them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One such place was a small village directly on the route from Märchen Academy to Ropenheim Barony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac entered the tavern to gather information and rescue the children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanying him, Alice Carroll waited patiently, leaning against the tavern’s outer wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tavern had a clean exterior. The two-storey establishment was bustling with men enjoying the night. It was unusually crowded for a tavern in a remote area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was thick with the smell of delicious food and alcohol. The loud, boisterous laughter and rough conversations of men filled the tavern continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welco…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young waitress caught her breath upon seeing Isaac. He was a rare handsome sight in this village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled slightly, tucking her hair behind her ear as she approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome, Sir. Are you alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, can I sit over there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac smiled and pointed towards the bar where the middle-aged tavern owner was standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waitress smiled and led him to the table in front of the tavern owner, where he pointed. Isaac took a seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tavern owner, pouring drinks, spoke to Isaac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A young face I’ve never seen before. You look like you’re still in your teens. Are you a traveler?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, you could say that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the tavern owner, Isaac, the bespectacled boy, seemed very gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his neat clothes didn’t appear particularly expensive. The hands sticking out of his sleeves showed signs of hard labor. He certainly wasn’t raised in luxury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversations of the burly men in the bustling tavern gradually quieted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your order?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before that, I have a question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac asked calmly with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are all these people your men?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tavern owner’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That answer is good enough on its own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac used [Psychological Insight] to get the answer he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And do you know how many children have been sent to Ropenheim Barony? I thought you might know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac couldn’t penetrate the barrier in the basement of the Ropenheim Barony mansion with his [Clairvoyance]. Calgart’s power was undoubtedly involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing how many children were in the basement could help gauge how long it would take for Calgart’s curse to activate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying directly to Ropenheim Barony on the Frost Dragon, Hilde, and raiding the basement was a prudent move. It was too conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Calgart, whose location was still unknown, detected the Ice Sovereign’s approach, he might flee with the children or prepare for an ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tavern owner stopped moving and silently stared at Isaac for a while\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere grew tense. The owner could no longer let Isaac leave unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waitress watched the scene with a frightened look. She felt the same as the tavern owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muscular man at one of the tables stood up, drew an axe from his belt, approached Isaac, and sat next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac met the burly man’s gaze with his own dark red eyes. The man placed his hand, gripping the axe, on the table and raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Up close, you’re even younger than I thought.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You seem to already know what this business is about, but since you’re asking about the number of kids already shipped, it looks like you’re not one of us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laughter and chatter in the tavern died down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension in the air thickened as everyone’s hostile gaze focused solely on Isaac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, who sent y-”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You haven’t answered my question yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac cut him off in a nonchalant tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man next to him laughed in disbelief, and the other large men in the tavern smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha! Hey, look at this oblivious kid… I was just as fearless when I was your age. Back then, I couldn’t tell the difference between courage and recklessness. Kid, you should know your place, don’t you think so? Well, how about I teach you a lesson about the harsh realities of life?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked mockingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men in the tavern roared with laughter, making jokes like, “Did you really have a childhood?” and “That kid looks like he’d break with a tap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Isaac became the target of the men’s ridicule, the young waitress whispered to the burly middle-aged man who could be described as rugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked him to subdue Isaac, finish their business, and then lock him up in a back room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, understanding her lustful intentions, grinned and replied, “Sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the expression of the man next to Isaac hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No more talking. If you want to die painlessly, speak up now, kid. Who sent you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you know how to answer a question?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh, you little punk. Fine, let’s see if you can say the same thing after losing an arm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man swung his axe at Isaac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a split second, Isaac lightly ducked backward to dodge the axe and unsheathed a dagger with a cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp tearing sound rang out. Isaac drove the dagger into the burly man’s hand, pinning it to the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man let out an ear-piercing scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kaaaargh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t move his hand that was holding the axe, and the laughter from the others in the tavern ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s wrist was pinned to the table by the dagger, blood gushing from the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Arrrgh!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac twisted the dagger, causing the man to scream even more desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man tried to swing his other fist, but Isaac easily caught his thick wrist and held on to it tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a crunching sound as his bones broke. The man’s wrist turned dark with bruises and was deformed, before finally crumpling like a sheet of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strength was ruthless, unmatched even by a beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop, please stop…!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man collapsed on the table, begging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll ask one more time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isaac asked cynically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many children are there right now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of chairs scraping the floor echoed from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the men drew their weapons and approached Isaac \u002Fgenesisforsaken\u003C\u002Fp>",1685,"2026-06-05T21:55:37.927Z",1,"novelbin.me","427a6066ea673abb87d51a11fc179ca76c8ed3fb21bcde19e999fd95f63c120b","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-238","the-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-chapter-236",377,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-academy-s-weakest-became-a-demon-limited-hun-cover.jpg"]
