Philip jumped back and moved closer to Priscilla even before Terrence noticed the appearance of his senior.
Vale also noticed his presence as he conjured his Ghost Hands once more and allowed them to hover around them…
It doesn't just protect him but their whole group.
"This is bad news… That guy isn't like these ordinary students." Philip whispered as he observed the newly arrived student.
He wasn't much older than Terrence. Perhaps just a year or two, but he was definitely on a different level.
The aura around him was quite terrifying… It was as if they were looking at the Assassin Zombie they have seen in the battle recordings. However, because they're seeing it in person, it feels more terrifying as if he could simply teleport in front of them and cut their necks.
"Don't worry… I won't allow him to sneak in any elemental attacks within a five-meter radius around me… so stay close." Vale said in a whisper which made Priscilla and Philip a bit surprised by how confident he was.
'So this is a guy who had challenged an elite Necromancer student… As expected, he's really special.' Priscilla commented in her mind.
Although Vale might be bluffing, it allowed her to concentrate on her Phantasm State and remain vigilant.
She observed the 'senior' carefully and aside from his terrifying aura, he seem to have an ordinary look with a short, trimmed hair parted in the middle.
He was wearing a knee-length frock coat and holding a cane in his left hand. He seem to have copied most of the adults or he was trying to look like one… Nevertheless, it doesn't seem weird with the way he carries himself.
The senior looked at Terrence with disdain but he didn't speak. It was as if he was disgusted at them for being defeated by a bunch of freshmen students from another school.
That was certainly humiliating so Vale and the other two can somehow relate to the senior's expression.
"Who are they?" He asked coldly.
Terrence was, of course, unaware of their names so he wasn't able to answer.
He only knows that they were students of the Dark Arts Academy…
This irritated the seniors even more since they didn't even know the people they were messing with.
"Tsk…"
With another grunt, the senior looked at Vale's group…
"I'm Brylle Genio, a seventh-year student at Rakmiths Academy… I'm not sure about the origin of this conflict between my juniors and your group, however, I can see that none of you are hurt while our side has suffered injuries… Seeing that you're younger and outnumbered, I'll let you off this time if you just apologize and leave your Mystical Items here… Got it?" Brylle spoke coldly as he tried to make himself a benevolent person.
However, Vale and his group were simply disgusted by his attempt to settle the situation in such an unfair method. fr(e)ewebn(o)vel
"Dream on… Our Professor is already rushing here. You're the one who should leave your belongings if you want to be spared." Priscilla bluffed as she held her Corruption Whistle tightly. f reewe bnovel
If she noticed any strange movements from them, she'll swiftly activate this mystical item…
"Two more times. I can only blow the whistle two more times…" Priscilla whispered in a tired voice… It seems that each use of the whistle takes a lot of her stamina.
Vale and Philip heard this and gently nodded.
It's normal for mystical items to have limits so Vale wasn't surprised.
He was even impressed that she could still use it two more times. After all, Vale had seen her use it about five times already to dissipate some sneaky wind arrow attacks from the enemies.
"My sword can still work for five more minutes. This should be enough." Philip also added in a soft voice.
In the meantime, Brylle looked sighed as he felt disappointed by how they disregarded the kindness he was willing to show them.
"You've made your choice… Don't regret it." Brylle coldly spoke…
He was about to make his move so Terrence and his group immediately cleared his path and went to the sides.
Then, in a blink of an eye, three Flaming Sparrows flew out of Brylle's hands… The blue and red fair on it makes the spell beautiful yet dangerous… Furthermore, this attack was quite tricky as the Flaming Sparrows were agile… Their trajectory is unpredictable and Philip would surely have a hard time catching them.
Preeeep~
Priscilla blew the whistle hoping that it was enough to stop the Flaming Sparrows.
However, Brylle simply snapped his fingers a strong shockwave occurred… It seems to be a type of Wind Spell as it disturbed the power that was released by the whistle.
"Your whistle's corruption power is strong and it can eliminate weaker Elemental Spells. Unfortunately, you've met me today so that Mystical Item of yours is useless." Brylle said proudly as he intended to show the huge gap between their group…
"I'll handle this…" Philip said as he stepped forward to face the three Flaming Sparrows.
However, Vale immediately stopped him as he already has another plan…
"Ignore the flame spell… Deal with Terrence's attack!" Vale warned him as he didn't let his guard down and continued observing what Terrence and the others are doing.
As soon as Brylle released his flame spell, Terrence actually gathered his strength to fire a Wind Arrow.
However, this Wind Arrow was conjured using most of his strength so it was on a different level. If they were hit by it, it could certainly threaten their lives.
Philip's eyes widened as he also realized the Wind Arrow that was traveling really low and was almost out of his notice. Thankfully, Vale warned him as he shifted his attention.
He decided to trust Vale this time… In any case, he still has a way to survive this ordeal in case the Flaming Arrows hit him.
With a wave of his Corruption Sword, he hit the Wind Arrow who arrived first and he was shocked by the force behind it…
Boom!
The collision broke his sword and the wind arrow!
At this time, the Flaming Sparrows arrived on top of his head but they simply dissipated like they were doused with water!
Before Philip could even celebrate, he noticed something terrifying happening on Brylle's side!
'W-what's that?!'
A dark evil spirit seem to have been summoned and was restraining the man from making any moves!
