As the crystallized blood figure tore through the school, it destroyed everything in its path.
Its bloodshot eyes saw nothing but destruction in its path.
Nicholas, who had been poisoned, was barely on his feet as he fought the monster.
He was still drained, but he managed to fight. The one making the most impact, however, was Eldrich.
Although their attacks seemed insignificant, they landed several blows. Some students fought from the ground, while others stood frozen.
Aiden and his friends fought alongside Lyra and the student council members.
'Such promising students,' Vale thought to herself as she descended toward the battlefield.
"Fold"
A barrier of light crushed on top of the figure as it groaned in pain
As all eyes turned to the one who cast such power, the despair that once gripped the students vanished.
"Headmistress Vale!" everyone echoed
"Sorry I'm late," Vale said, waving her hand.
"Students, you will help me and the teachers defeat this thing."
"Yeah!" everyone shouted in unison
Vale charged forward before chanting
"Lium Franimus."
Dozens of light spheres gathered in the sky before charging at the figure.
The figure had been trying to put up a fight but it was overwhelming.
"Lium franimus: Thousand folds"
The light spheres split into thousands of floating orbs.
The orbs pierced the figure as it shrieked in pain but the pain did not stop there
Attacks from each side as students chanted arcana spells from all sides.
The figure which was still enduring under the immense pressure Vale's fold had put it under
"Crimson Slash!" Nicholas slashed the figure across the chest, opening a deep wound.
"Snow land: Minimum Thirty Percent" Eldrich charged his bows with snowland arcana aiming it for the same slash that Nicholas had opened
It inflicted more pain on the figure.
"Ready, Kael?" Aiden said
"Yeah, dipshit"
Kael and Aiden turned towards each other nodding
"Overdrive" Kael said as his hair stood while Aiden charged his arcana smiling
Kael and Aiden ran through the chanting students.
"Glacial Shard barrage" Aria chanted
Two massive balls of ice fell directly into the figure's open wound.
Nyra, Ymir, Selene, and the others cleared a path for them as both Kael and Aiden charged
Arwen and Lyra jumped ahead of Kael and Aiden as they both charged towards the monster
"Tilki"
Lyra's blade was cloaked in light as she slashed the figure as the wound, which had begun closing, tore open again.
"Rapid slash!"
Arwen charged straight at the figure using wind slashes inflicting the pain
"She has always been reckless" Vale said
"Yeah" Nicholas and Eldrich shouted in unison
As Arwen and Lyra cleared the path
Kael and Aiden jumped in unison, slashing the figure as it was brought to its knees
As the figure was close to destroying, Vale threw a black orb at it
"Say hello to those bastards in hell."
The black orb absorbed the monster into the orb and destroyed in the air
The students fell into panic, some began questioning if the academy was safe, if anything was worth their lives despite the monster being destroyed
"I think this is what Genesis wanted to achieve headmistress" Nicholas said in a whisper to Vale
Vale nodded before speaking up
"Calm down students"
"I know you are having something to say and answers will be provided"
"Why don't I drop out?" the whispers echoed round the hall as Vale tried desperately to quiet everyone down
"I know you are all scared, so am I" a student stood up bringing a halt to the chaos that was getting out of control
"I am Aiden Cross, a first-year student, and I promise you all that I will bring an end to this cruel world."
"I cannot do it alone, so I would like you all to stay and help me" Aiden said as he bowed his head
"Who is he?" Nicholas asked Vale.
"He is Aiden cross, strongest first year and a beacon of hope" Vale said as she smiled
'Where are you, Elior?' Arwen said as her thoughts screamed in anger
"Elior, the executioner, don't make me laugh" Rispero said laughing at Elior
Elior walked towards him before sighing in annoyance
"Professor Moren, you thought I would not figure it out" Elior said as he removed Moren's mask
Moren was visibly shaken hearing what Elior said
"How did you know?" Moren said as he struggled to get his body away from Elior
"Is that the important question professor" Elior said walking towards Moren
"I need you to talk Mr Moren"
"Talk about what?" Moren asked
Elior drove Kurotsume into Moren's thigh making Moren scream in pain. The pain had been piling up due to his fight with Nicholas which he had been suppressing all along
As Moren screamed in agony, Elior looked down at him indifferently
"So, what was the point of all of these"
Moren struggling to speak finally spoke up
"It was to show the students the truth" Moren said as he coughed up blood
"What truth?" Elior asked coldly
Moren looked into Elior eyes before speaking up
"I rather you kill me than I tell you"
"If that is your wish" Elior said as he pulled Kurotsume off Moren's thigh at but it on his throat
As Elior prepared to slash Moren's throat, a flicker of hesitation ran through him
Reflecting on who he had to kill this night, Elior wavered a little
"Oh, you have killed tonight right and now that conscious weighs on you, am I right" Moren said laughing mockingly
In a split second, Moren held Elior hand and dragged Elior's hand across his own throat
"Wha" Elior who was in deep shock could not explain what was happening
"Now, I will weigh on your conscious and you would se-"
Those were the last words of Moren as he passed away.
All that was a Elior who stood there in horror before an interruption came
