Meanwhile,

In another block littered with dead bodies all over the ground, the dean stood with his rapier. A happy to go smile sported his face, making it hard for anyone to think that the easy going person standing there with a smile was the bringer of this massacre.

“Are you okay?” The dean asked the man behind him. The man was an instructor from the academy and had wounds all over his body. The light in his eyes was no less than a small flame on the verge blowing out.

The intervention of the dean was what had saved him and if not for that, he was ready to blow himself up and die along with the enemies.

“Just a little tired,” He replied with a chuckle and fell to the ground. The exhaustion got to him as his consciousness darkened and he fell to the ground.

“Sigh..” The dean turned, picked him up and flew towards the care center set up by the military.

This was the sixth person he had saved in the last hour. As for the rest, they had already died when he reached or killed themselves in a bid to bring down the enemy with them.𝑜𝒱𝐿xt.𝑐𝐎𝓜

“The situation is getting out of control,” The dean thought as he walked out of the care center. His thoughts were in a mess as he tried to find some way to stabilize everything as soon as possible.

There was still the concern for the academy and even though he had full faith in Ray and the head nurse, he couldn’t help but worry. After all, who knew what was going on in there.

As he mindlessly walked out, he bumped into someone, “Oh.. Sorry,” He apologized and looked up at who he bumped into.

“Abraham!” He spoke. His eyes lit up as a smile came upon his face. His friend was there. He has met him again, “You don’t know how much I missed your assistance,” He spoke and then hugged the man.

“Well, I missed you too,” Abraham hugged him back. The reunion was a sweet one as both of them simply smiled.

Though to some it didn’t look like much as they were away for a few days only but to both of them, it mattered a lot. After all, Abraham and the dean had been the best of friends for the last century and helped each other through thick and thin.

“So, how did it go? Did you clear it?” Asked Abraham. Looking in the sky.

“Well, you could see for yourself. The portal is gone for now,” The dean answered.

“Did anyone get hurt? Where is Amanda? Is she fine?”

“Yeah she is fine. Don’t underestimate her strength,” The dean smiled and started walking along with Abraham.

“So, how is the situation here?” The dean asked.

“Not too good. The monsters aren’t stopping. They keep on coming like cockroaches. We need to find a way to stop the portals from opening up everywhere because if this continues to happen, the celestial might have to interfere for sure,” Answered Abraham and although they had already interfered, they were merely using a small percentage of their power.

“Is Inferno right? I heard that he was on the verge of losing it,” Asked the dean.

“Well, he was. Thankfully I was with him and helped him clear his mind. That maniac fought for three days straight and that affected him. Also, he single handedly took down dozens of Calamity Realms and when I tried to step in, he even stopped me,” Told Abraham. His expression was filled with melancholy. He truly knew how bad he situation was.

“Hmmm… let’s go,” Said the dean as he flew in the air.

Abraham followed behind him as he also unfurled his wings and flew in the air.

High in the sky, the dean and Abraham stopped and looked down. They saw the whole city in ruins as various fights still went on in many parts of the city.

“I am thinking of using a spatial blocker in the city,” The dean spoke.

“A spatial blocker?” Abraham asked in shock, “But wouldn’t that be too much. You know that the city would be blocked completely and even we will have it hard to get inside or outside the city,”

“I know but listen to me first,” the dean spoke. Closing his eyes, he breathed out. Making his mind, he continued, “I want to build a tribunal spatial bridge. Connecting the city, military headquarters, the academy and my old mansion,”

“I understand the headquarters and the Academy but why your old mansion? Didn’t you sell it already?” Asked Abraham.

“I sold it to Ray and there is a reason for that. You see, right now; the academy is littered with trolls and the students can’t fight them all as the experts are in the city. Therefore, I handed Ray a mission and that was to rescue as many students as he could and lead them to the old mansion through the portal room,” The dean explained.

“But why the mansion?” Asked Abraham. He couldn’t quite understand the reason behind it.

“Well, currently the mansion is much safer than the Academy,” The dean finally opened up.

“Why is that?” Abraham asked, feeling even more confused. After all, wasn’t the academy the strongest? It even had a sentient consciousness of it’s own and had one of the most powerful defensive capabilities that rivaled the military.

“Well, the academy defense was breached. Someone from the higher ups, most probably a director betrayed us and corrupted the sentient life form. That a*shole even compromised the defense by leaking the blueprints to the enemy,” The dean spoke. As he continued, his voice became harder as his anger started for resurface.

“Well, I might know who it was,” Abraham replied.

“What? You know who it was?” The dean asked, a bit shocked as his mind churned. He thought of why Abraham didn’t tell him this right away.

“Well, even I got to know about it after everything went down. After you went into the portal, I stayed on the skyscraper and overlooked the city. Well, that’s when I found Moore spying upon me and we had a fight. I had to use my divine form,” Abraham sighed and explained everything.

Hearing the whole story, the dean’s eyes constructed as his face turned red from anger. However, he held himself in and controlled his anger.

“So it was Moore,” He sighed, “I always had suspicions on him and was even sure that he had defected but to think that he would attack you so brazenly. Also, what I am most shocked about is him being able to push you to the extent that you had to use your divine form,”

“He had the powers of a vampire,” Abraham added.

“Hmmm…Interesting,” The dean muttered, “So the dark forces have also started to join,” He spoke and then clapped his hands.

He looked down at the city once again and made his mind, “So my decision is final. We are making a trigonal spatial bridge. Let me inform master,” The dean said and took out his emblem.

The scythe on it reflected the light as he injected his mana into it and connected with the Commander General’s emblem.

After all, the Commander General was also one of the seven pillars that would stand besides the chosen one.

“Yes, Prometheus. What happened?” The Commander General’s voice sounded in the dean’s head.

“I need your permission to form a spatial bridge,” The dean asked right away. There was no time to waste on greetings and all those formalities.

“Are you sure?” The Commander General confirmed.

“Yes, I am sure,” The dean replied. His voice was stern and filled with unyielding conviction. It showed his intent and how serious he was.

“Okay, you can do so. I will transfer the materials in your inventory,” The Commander General agreed. He didn’t even ask for any reason for the dean’s decision.

This was the blind trust the Commander General had in his student whose decisions had proved to be right at various times.

“Sure. I will be waiting and thank you. Over and Out,” The dean said and cut the connection.

He turned to Abraham and smiled, “Be ready. We have a spatial bridge to construct,”

“Hopefully it works,” Abraham sighed.

“It will. This way, we will block the whole city and all the portals would be blocked too and the only path out will be through the spatial bridge,” The dean said.

“If the city and it’s space will be blocked, then where will the opening be?” Asked Abraham.

“Hehehe…” The dean chuckled and kept silent.

“Sigh… go on, be as secretive as you want to be. It will be common knowledge once the spatial bridge is formed,” Abraham pouted and turned around.

With that, the duo flew off around the city and decided to finish the remaining monsters that still rampaged before newer portals opened and more monsters spawned.

This way, it would not only ease the already fighting warriors but also allow them to regroup and rethink their strategy against the invading monsters.
