Novel Full Chapter 216: Dispel
Selena looked around the cave. “There doesn’t seem to be anyone in this place.”
She had returned to the previous cave. And as she expected, the guy they were supposed to help earlier had died.
Sadly, there was no time to mourn them.
Her familiars scattered around the area, searching for any clues about the so-called ‘wife.’
Risa reported, “There is no living being here. At least I don’t feel the blood of the living.”
Sasha also looked at the corpses, specifically on the mountain of corpses that had turned into aliens. “I can’t find anything.”
Yin Zhen was knocking on the wall, checking whether there was another path. “Nothing here. The walls are solid. I don’t know about the ceiling, but I don’t sense any empty area underneath us. Does he predict it incorrectly?”
“I’m not sure. I don’t know how he knows the wife is here, but he is not someone who easily makes such a mistake. Maybe there is something we don’t know yet…” Selena looked down, falling into deep thought.
She was recounting all the information regarding the humans who had turned into aliens.
Most of them had changed in a way that they couldn’t be called humans anymore. Some parts of their bodies should have deformed, which might be a clue.
But Selena remembered Nathan mentioned the alien being Dikkleus’ wife. If she were Nathan’s wife, what would Nathan expect from her?
Knowing Nathan, the answer was clear. She needed to be pretty.
She smiled wryly but soon noticed why Nathan specifically mentioned his wife.
“That’s right. Pretty!” Selena gasped.
“Huh?” Risa, Sasha, and Yin Zhen were confused, wondering if Selena was flaunting her beauty.
Selena simply shouted, “All of you! Find the corpses that don’t have any blemish on them. That might be the queen of the aliens!”
“!!!” They didn’t know what was going on, but all of them hurriedly searched for such a corpse.
And that was it.
“Is this…” Yin Zhen gasped, looking at the woman before him. In this place, all corpses had dirt, blood, or other things smearing their bodies and clothes, but only this woman didn’t have any of it.
When Yin Zhen approached her, the woman opened her hollow eyes.
*Bam!*
“!!!” All of them turned around and saw Yin Zhen blown away, his right arm getting scratched by something sharp.
They had found her.
…
Outside.
In the sky, Dikkleus kept getting attacked from all directions. The branches and the roots forced him to be on the defensive.
“Tsk.” Dikkleus clicked his tongue, looking at the progress of the entire island. His ogre was gaining the upper hand, but Rudeus and August were persistent enough to ensure that the ogre stayed in that place.
He thought the ogre would be enough to defeat them easily, but as one would expect from the current ranked 1st and 2nd among the students.
They were strong.
On the other hand, the aliens were in a complete stalemate. They still had a lot of aliens to spare, but he didn’t have the time to wait for the students to exhaust all their Ena.
Still, there was a fight where he would definitely win. It was inside the cave.
Seeing another branch coming toward him, Dikkleus clapped his hand. A huge translucent screen appeared in the branch’s path, blocking the branch.
However, this branch was unlike any other. It pierced through the barrier effortlessly and made its way toward Dikkleus.
Dikkleus’ finger twitched, folding the barrier. And with slight movement from the barrier, the branch snapped.
Several other branches were coming, but there was a long barrier that hit their bodies, crushing them one by one.
The dryad maintained control over the tree while the druid continuously used his Ena to regenerate the branches and roots to maintain the offensive.
As a result, Dikkleus was unable to do anything.
“It seems only your ogre has been turned into an alien, Dikkleus.” Vivian shouted from the top of the dome.
Dikkleus clenched his fists. As Vivian said, not a single one of his familiars knew about his experiment. He only asked them to do things, starting from traps to their respective abilities, like teleportation.
Besides, once they got taken over by the aliens, they stopped unleashing their ability. That was why only the ogre was turned into an alien. The ogre had good physical ability, so it was perfect for the experiment.
However, if he summoned his normal familiars at this time, they would realize what had happened and turn against him. That was why he had no other choice but to summon only the ogre.
For Vivian, Dikkleus held a different meaning. He was a competent teacher. In the academy, he would have been the best barrier user, and his teleportation ability had helped a lot, whether it was an event or something else.
That was why it was sad that she had to capture him or kill him, if not possible. He simply never thought the situation would become this way.
“You should surrender, Dikkleus. Nothing will change, no matter how much you struggle. No matter if they’re the students or my familiars, you can’t defeat them in the little time you have,” Vivian warned him, trying to break his heart. freēwebnovel.com
Dikkleus shouted, “You don’t know a single thing, even though you are the vice principal. And do you think the students can hold everything? Even if all the students here are able to stop, it will soon change.”
Dikkleus grinned as if knowing that his ‘wife’ would soon defeat Selena. And there would be nothing that could stop her from wreaking havoc on the island.
“You’re the one who doesn’t know anything. Even if I’m here, unable to do anything to you, you shouldn’t have underestimated my disciple.” She had a smug smile on her face.
It was because she was staring downward that she could see the dragon that flew to the sky, carrying the person that carried the hope of all students.
“!!!” Dikkleus noticed his presence soon and turned his head. “Nathan?”
It was clear Nathan was planning to do something to the barrier, but he was sure that no one was capable of harming the barrier in a short amount of time. Even the high elf might need an hour to break the barrier.
Nidhogg flew toward Silvania as Nathan made the last jump. With his hand facing her, Nathan smiled. “Dispel.”
