Novel Full Chapter 214: Nathan’s Promise
“What? Teacher Dikkleus is the bad guy?”
“But he is the only remaining teacher…”
Obviously, the truth would be hard to accept. Vivian wasn’t supposed to be on the island.
However, Rudeus picked up the signal and immediately said out loud, “I want you guys to think. The principal is here. He is the strongest person on this island, so why would he not appear?
“And with the principal here, you surely wouldn’t feel it weird to find out the vice principal is here as well, right?
“With his strength, why does the principal not come out? Take another look at Teacher Dikkleus’ familiars.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but you surely find something amiss, right?
“If the principal and the vice principal are the bad guys, we’ll be dead. There’s no need to come up with such a trick, since both of them can defeat all teachers easily. Besides, you should have heard the rumor about the Forest Queen being his teacher. Is that correct, classmate Nathan?” Rudeus squinted his eyes.
Nathan smiled wryly. Rudeus actually took advantage of this chance to confirm that rumor. If Nathan admitted it, the way these students treat him would change. Then again, Vivian had told him to expose his identity as her disciple, if that was necessary.
Hence, Nathan nodded his head. “That is correct. You can think of me as a villain or whatever you want, but do you think my teacher will kill me here? She is outside the barrier, and there are still at least five thousand aliens coming toward us.”
The students sucked a cold breath.
“Did we just offend the Forest Queen’s disciple?”
“Are we doomed?”
Nathan simply pointed toward everyone. “Do you remember what the principal said during the opening ceremony? Those in front of you are your enemies. Those besides you are your rivals and friends. Those behind you are people you have to protect.
“The situation has changed. Those who are usually in front of you are now standing by your side. Let’s start anew and point our weapons at the aliens.” Nathan lowered his head. “And my power alone is not enough. Unless everyone here is working together, none of us can survive.”
With Nathan confirming his identity, the people felt moved. Even the proud disciple of Vivian lowered his head, so why could they not lower their ego?
“That’s right. Let’s fight together!”
“We have to survive first.”
All of them nodded their heads.
Rudeus knew that Nathan and Selena had known the secret hidden in that cave. Even he didn’t know about it as well as the leader of those aliens.
He wasn’t foolish enough to argue with them so that they could take down the most important enemy.
“Leave this place to us.” Rudeus nodded.
Nathan’s expression turned solemn and immediately extended his hand to Selena.
Selena hurriedly reached for his hand and hopped onto Nidhogg’s back.
“May fortune bless you with its presence,” Nathan shouted as Nidhogg flew toward Dikkleus as if he was planning to challenge him.
Selena couldn’t help but ask, “But who is the leader of the alien? How strong is it?”
“I don’t know. In fact, this is just my speculation. I’m afraid Dikkleus’ wife is hidden on this island. And if there is indeed a place to hide her…”
“The cave?”
“Yes.” Nathan nodded. “I need you to enter the cave by yourself and try to find the queen.”
“By myself? You’re not going?” Selena tilted her head in confusion.
“I will assist you once I’m done with my task.”
“Alright.” Selena trusted Nathan without hesitation. Nathan dropped her off at the entrance’s cave before flying back toward the cave where they gathered their resources.
He had to leave Selena for a bit because he had a more important job.
…
A few minutes ago.
“You want to know more about the barrier? Even I don’t know much about the barrier. That’s why I’m trying to decipher it.”
“No. It’s not about this barrier, but the barrier in general. Maybe like whether the barrier can still function if there is no Ena to operate it or something. Depending on the foundation of the barrier, I might be able to do something… I’m not confident enough to destroy it, but creating a hole might be possible.”
Both the high elf and the dryad were stunned. Never in their wildest dream would they think Nathan was strong or knowledgeable enough to create a hole in this complex barrier.
However, Nathan knew the students wouldn’t be enough to fight several thousand aliens, so they needed the dryad.
With that thought in mind, Silvania explained, “There are three cores of a barrier. The first one will be the Ena acting as a fuel. If you look closely at this barrier, you will notice the second thing, which is the strengthening link.
“This barrier is pretty complicated because the barrier has a lot of complex strengthening links. If I decipher one and remove it, there are at least tens of them still standing in my way. That’s why I have to remove it one by one. ƒrēewebnovel.com
“The third one will be the program of the barrier. What kind of things do this barrier block? From the looks of it, the barrier is stopping even Ena from flowing inside and outside.
“With these three foundations, the barrier manages to isolate the island completely. If you want to help, there are ways, such as finding the fuel of this barrier. I also don’t recommend it because it’s like finding a grain of sand on the beach.
“Or you can beat up the caster to tell you about the barrier. You’re satisfied with this explanation, right? Do you think you can do anything?”
A smile appeared on Nathan’s face. “Yes. I’m satisfied. You can continue deciphering it, and I’ll also open it from the inside. We’ll create a small tunnel and let the dryad enter.”
“You’re so full of yourself. If you really can do it, I’ll acknowledge you as the young master.”
“It seems I have to work hard for it.” Nathan smiled. As soon as he landed on the ground, Nathan lifted his arm and said, “Can you leave me alone for several minutes?”
“Hmm? Why?”
“I want to relieve my stress, so I’m embarrassed if you are staring at me.”
The dryad’s eyebrows twitched. She knew it was just a joke, but the meaning was clear. It must be related to Nathan’s secret.
“I will wait outside.” In the end, the vine jumped off Nathan’s arm and hid inside the ground.
Nathan smiled and turned to the cave, specifically the cores. “Time to swallow more cores. I’ll lose a lot today, so they have to compensate me after this.”
