Chapter 78: Chapter 78
Meleic and Sara found it hard to breathe, they felt suffocated by the intruder’s presence, but they also felt disgusted by him.
"Damn it why am I so weak," Meleic asked himself in his mind, as he felt helpless and powerless.
Sara was trembling, it wasn’t uncontrollable fear, it was just du survival instinct telling her to run, to run with all the strength she barely had left, as she was on the verge of fatigue.
The other five students were scared, their faces varied due to the different appearances of the demons at that moment had a similarity, they were drenched in sweat.
Only Isirid, who despite having felt the pressure, did not feel so affected. "A sixth rank? At the starting point, probably," Isirid thought without letting her guard down for a moment, as she was confident in the power of the high-ranked wand in her hands, however, it discouraged her to see the blue scythe of the intruder, because that meant she had to face a warrior, worst of all, a warrior with a higher rank than hers.
For wizards the main rule was to keep the distance, the distance was the advantage of the wizard, if to the distance you added the time, a wizard became a fearsome being. However, the rule said, that a warrior was a fearsome opponent, there was a dilemma between which profession was better, but it was known, that without time and distance, a warrior could finish in an instant with an average wizard, now, all the factors that could have been against increased exponentially, since the intruder was not only a warrior, but his rank was also superior. Those were facts that Isirid took finds by exclaiming firmly, and irrefutably:
-You, leave now! Find a teacher at once!
Isirid extended his demonic energy toward the seven students to help them endure the presence of the blue scythe intruder.
Meleic gritted his teeth, grabbed Sara and ordered immediately:
-You heard, let’s go!
Twelve mud-green demonic spears appeared in the air above Isirid.
The intruder swung the scythe in front of himself and then stopped it with a bang, creating a shockwave of magical power.
Isirid who suspected that the shockwave was targeting his classmates swung his wand creating a barrier that managed to contain the advancing shockwave allowing the seven students to escape with ease.
-That’s a good wand, it will be a great acquisition. -said the intruder.
Bang!
A spear exploded against the ground on which the intruder had been standing and the intruder jumped up and swung his scythe to cut down in an instant the next three poisonous spears that approached him.
At that moment, the sky over the entire city was covered by a sea of dark clouds, which made the night darker and colder.
Isirid had already understood, after seeing how the intruder dodged and slashed her spears, she didn’t stand a chance. Even so, willing not to give up, she threw spear after spear, watching every movement of the enemy who nimbly dodged or destroyed the spears in the air. When her eight spears were gone, she was going to summon more spears.
Bang!
The intruder approached in an instant and delivered a kick to Isirid’s abdomen that sent her flying through the air until she crashed into the wall of one of the buildings in the proving ground. The wall had cracked from the impact, as Isirid used her demonic energy to shield herself from the impact, but even so she was not unharmed.
Isirid was on her knees, her vision was blurred, she was coughing blood, and she heard the intruder’s footsteps approaching.
At that moment, deafening lightning flashes resounded over the sky, specifically over the area where Isirid was.
••••
In the corridors of the building where the barrier control room was located, everything in the surroundings, the ceiling, the walls, the floor, was stained with blood.
Professor Arxier Desten had lost one of his arms, where pieces of skin were now hanging from which blood was dripping, on his face there was a deep vertical wound that had severed his right eye, and the rest of his body had multiple cutting wounds, but in spite of that, his look was confident and determined, and he still held his crimson and black sword tightly.
-You are a real monster, old Kariz, there are many who want you dead, now I can understand the reason. -Arxier said, then clicked his tongue three times, he had understood, after a long battle in which he had not even brushed a single purple hair of Kariz, that she was on a higher level in which similar rank mattered little.
At that moment lightning flashes were heard outside, and Kariz was quick to understand the nature of the boisterous lightning, "Damn What’s happening to you, Persec?" thought Kariz whose slight disturbance was perceived by Arxier who said to him:
-Yes, we will make Persec despair, he will lose everything, and after that he will fall, and with him will fall one of the greatest obstacles that still keep alive the legacy of the cursed emperor Acad. Only then will the demons be able to begin again.
"Crazy bastard, I must kill him quickly," thought Kariz, who could not hide her steady gaze.
Seeing the look on Kariz’s face, Professor Desten had understood that she had decided to kill him, so he waved his sword, and all the blood on the walls, floor, and ceiling of the hallway exploded partially knocking down the upper floor above them.
-Do you think you can stop me with something so basic? -Kariz said a question without waiting for an answer, around her she had created a barrier that protected her completely.
Kariz waved her hand, all the debris and powder dispersed and she watched as Professor Desten had finished drinking a dark blue potion.
After drinking the potion, in an instant, protrusions appeared in the wounds on Professor Destan’s body in which sinister eyes or jaws with sharp teeth emerged, and his previously lost arm regenerated as a reptilian arm with long, sharp red and black claws.
Professor Destan’s rank went from the starting point of the seventh rank, to the midpoint of the seventh rank. Seeing Professor Destan’s increase in power, Kariz brought her delicate hand to the translucent pendant on his neck, she was going to take out her staff, while thinking:
"I’m sorry Persec; I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m very busy."
••••
In the surroundings the stormy winds gave off unpleasant odors, but even though the mountains looked like barren and eroded rocks, the environment around the intruder was pure due to the power of the elemental sphere that neutralized the cursed energy to protect its user.
-I will kill you all, I will not allow the lineage of any of you to escape, you can be sure of that. -Said Director Persec.
Persec’s golden eyes were focused with an uncontainable fury, the clouds allowed him to perceive what was happening in the whole city, it was a way to extend with the power of Abkabram his own demonic perception.
It began to rain. At that moment Persec waved his staff, launching hundreds of spears of concentrated cursed energy, but they all exploded and destroyed the tornadoes created by the intruder. But, when the tornadoes dispersed, others had already appeared, and Persec who was not holding back and was only attacking without defending himself, began to suffer cuts from the cutting blasts launched by the intruder just when a tornado was dispersed.
"With this rain, you will all be marked, when you are found you will be cursed," thought Persec increasing the intensity of his attacks more and more, still holding out hope of finding a weak spot in the huge tornado that surrounded the mountain range, so that he could return to the academy.
The intruder, not wanting to allow Persec to regain his composure increased his slashing taques and said in a malicious voice to provoke him:
-Persec, which do you prefer, that your granddaughter becomes a cursed artifact or a prostitute who pacts with humans?
The white snakes that formed Persec’s hair focused on the intruder, opened their jaws and hissed with hatred after Persec heard those words.
••••
At the top of the wall on the west side, while the rain had begun to fall, and lightning flashed in a place nearby, but unreachable for the executive Senjar, the four-meter tall abominable being made a chilling scream with its trunk. Senjar understood that this action was a warning.
"If I leave, you will attack, won’t you?" thought Senjar, then shook his head and stayed in place.
Senjar also realized that something was going on with Director Persec, but at that moment his hands were also tied due to the situation they were in, because if that four meter abominable being attacked, the wall would most likely fall, and in the end it would all be death and misery, a complete defeat.
