Chapter 382 Strength Of The Enemy
The teachers in the main academy had flocked to the scene of the beasts, and they were quick to act. It was quite clear that they had been through drills for this occurrence, or it was something that had happened before.
The teachers spread out and headed to their respective areas where the students were. The beasts from the portal had already reached all of the areas, and they weren’t average beasts either.
The smaller beasts that crawled, jumped, and had powerful fangs had to be at least level 3. It was something that most of the students were unable to handle, which is why there had already been a few deaths.
Their bodies lay on the ground, and the students huddled up in the courtyard, being protected by their respective teachers.
“This is too much!” The Blue Headband teacher shouted out. “We can’t handle them just with us; we need one of the senior staff to help us out.”
“I think Gunther went to the Yellow Headband group; maybe we should head over there for protection.”
The teachers agreed, but that meant they needed to move. While moving, it was slightly harder for one to protect themselves and for the teachers to continue to protect the students, but if they stayed, then they could all very well be dead.
“Everyone, do your best to stay close to us and use your Qi to attack. Right now, for the situation we are in, attack is the best form of defense.”
The teachers thought the death in the academy was over, and now they were going to see it again, only this time it would be firsthand.
At the Red Headband base, the students had managed to escape out to the courtyard, and they saw the Principal appear, landing in the center. His foot lightly touched the ground.
The beasts were still chasing after the tail end of students who were trying to exit the courtyard. Murkel looked their way. His eyes started to change color slightly. The color of his iris was almost impossible to see as it had turned black.
The Qi around him started to activate, and it was changing the air around him. It was visual Qi, but the shadow next to his feet grew outward. The colors in the air had changed, covered in a thick smoke.
‘This is intense,’ Raze thought, watching from the sideline. Even where he was, he could feel small bumps raising all over his body. He knew the other students felt the same way, as some had even fallen to the ground.
‘This Qi, why does it feel so sinister? This is the first time I’ve witnessed such strong Dark-based Qi energy before.’
The feeling was different from Dark Magic that Raze had used. When using Dark magic, it brought up the feelings from within, the darkness that Raze had harbored.
The death of others increased his affinity with Darkness. But this, it felt like his Qi was trying to drag everyone around and into it.
‘I thought there was a chance that the skills the Principal would use would be close to that of the Noctis clan skill, since he is practically the current head of the Dark Faction, but this seems completely different.’
The question was raised in Raze’s head: was it possible that the current Principal had something to do with the disappearance of the original Dark Faction founder, and if that was the case, just how strong was this individual?
The beasts kept up in the air, and immediately, Murkel turned his head towards them. The visual Qi shifted, facing toward the beasts, but there was no increase in the Qi, nor did it touch the beasts.
Immediately though, the beasts backed down. They didn’t move an inch forward. Their bodies were hunched as they bared their teeth.
“Get rid of them all, and find the source of this mess,” Murkel ordered.
Teachers followed, seemingly appearing from above. These were ones that Raze hardly ever saw, those that would stay in the main base of the academy and weren’t part of the headband teachers.
They came in with their solid steel weapons and struck the beasts. Even when being cut apart, the beasts were still too afraid to move, all while Murkel still had his Qi out next to them.
However, from the building itself, more and more beasts were pouring out from the top. It truly did look like a spider’s nest.
‘I’m starting to understand a bit more why everyone fears these portal breaks so much,’ Raze thought. ‘The beasts, they are flooding to the portal.
‘It’s as if they have found a way to escape from their world into the other, or something is drawing them here. They keep appearing one after the other non-stop. In this case, it’s even more dangerous when entering dimensions.
‘At least in a dimension, the beasts are spread out through the world.’
All of this led Raze to think of another thing: why didn’t portal breaks occur on Alterian? If they were attracted to magic, then surely portal breaks would occur all the time on Alterian.
“It would be best if all of the students head out from here and head to the main courtyard.”
The voice, it was a familiar one. It was none other than the Vice Principal Amir who had arrived at the scene as well. Heading to one of the side walls, Amir then rushed forward, pushing off the ground.
The stone flooring was destroyed beneath his feet, and then with the side of his foot, he bashed right into the wall, tearing part of it down leading into the main courtyard.
The students could see it; they could see that the other students had gathered in the main courtyard, and the teachers from all over were there protecting them. It was an open area, but it was easier for the teachers now that they had teamed up.
“Hey, you guys protect the kids; I’m going to try to get rid of as many of them as I can,” Gunther claimed as he pulled out his two swords and raged forward.
He ducked under the first beast and slid under the ground, raising one of his swords up, he slashed the belly of one of them right in half. When he stopped, he spun and slashed several of the beasts around him.
He continued to swing his arms, taking beast after beast down like a madman obsessed, but the truth was Gunther was in his element. He regularly before this entered dimensions after dimensions, and his tactic was to just kill whatever he saw in sight until he would get the dimension boss to come out.
The students were in awe as they witnessed beast body after beast body falling to the ground. It was scenes like this, which made one want to become a Pagna warrior.
Back at the base itself, the Red Headband students were starting to evacuate, and Dame was ready to lift Raze out of there, but before he did, he shook his head and then pointed to the Principal.
Raze wanted to see the power of the enemy he was going up against; he wanted to see just what it would take to bring him down.
