Chapter 416 Stuck In Another Dimension
The Red Headband students that had returned were told to be on standby back at the base. What Dame did notice was after entering the Red Headband sleeping quarters, just outside guarding the entrance to the main courtyard, there were a lot more teachers.
There weren't just new Red Headband instructors, but also a number of guards including more men with masks on their faces, members of the Erupting Fist Clan.
Right now, on the second floor, everyone was stationed in one room, and that included Mada and Ricktor.
"It's clear that they are keeping an eye on us, that they don't want us to leave," Dame commented. "Although we have bought some time, the situation is a bit more difficult than what I imagined."
"And what exactly is that situation?" Mada asked. He was sitting in a seat, picking off parts from the corners of the wooden desk and throwing them onto the floor, frustrated by everything that was going on.
"We had agreed to help your damn friend to go up against the academy, so where is he, what is he doing? The academy has already targeted us!" Mada claimed.
"I thought you were on the fence," Simyon commented.
Mada stayed quiet after that, not sure what to say. Even he was undecided, whom to trust, what was best. The one thing he would do is keep his mouth shut because he did feel slightly indebted to Raze for the food back then and ending the dreaded assessment early.
"I would like to know, where is the young leader that I agreed to follow. In this tricky situation, is there some type of plan?" Ricktor asked.
Dame didn't want to say it, but right now, they were in the plan. He expected them to go out and search for Raze, but he never expected the Vice-principal himself to go out and check.
'When they get no word back from the Lethal Bite Clan, I wonder what their actions will be then? If a fight does break out, I wonder how the Crimson Crane will handle it as well.'
Amir had entered through the portal; he continued to be in the same pose with his hands behind his back. He looked around at the sand-like world to see if there was anything he could notice.
The first thing that came into his sight was the building structures in front of him, and how they were partly destroyed. Jumping from his position, he landed right by one of the destroyed structures.
"It's quite clear that there was a battle in this place, but the wind, it's moved the sand all over the area. Any tracks and such will make it quite hard to come by. I wonder if there's still anyone alive."
Amir looked around the nearby area even more to see if he could find anything at all, but either the place had been cleaned up, or it was long lost.
"There is a way I can confirm if anyone is inside here or not, without having to search the entire dimension."
The Vice-principal jumped a large distance out from the normal structure and landed in the sand. Soon, he could feel a large rumbling underneath his feet. The sand was shaking, and it was getting darker right beneath his feet.
The sand sunk slightly and popping right out from underneath it were large razor-sharp teeth. Lifting his foot up, he swept it down, letting out a large strike.
His body hovered in the air for a few moments before he kicked the air, moving him to the side, and the beast, the sandworm he had struck, had been killed just like that.
"Let's speed things up a bit!" Amir stated as he lifted his leg and swung it through the air. The giant mounds of sand in front of him disappeared.
The sand flowed, moving like a wave in the completely opposite direction, revealing underneath the large mounds of sand more earthworms with their large bodies.
They started to wiggle and tried to burrow themselves deeper into the sand. Before one could, though, Amir was already standing on top of them, with his foot ready to strike.
"Let's see how many of you it takes until your boss comes out," Amir smiled.
Going from one earthworm to the next, it only took a single technique to get rid of them. He was killing all of those that were hidden, and then finally he had gotten what he was looking for.
The entire landscape was changing in front of him. Sand was swirling around the areas and were uplifting into the sky creating a type of sand vortex.
The giant beast looked like it filled the entire sky. Slowly, the sand was falling off leaving a larger body. A sandworm, but this one had four large limbs on its side pointed and sharp like a spider.
"So you're the dimension boss of this place. This will be a loss for the academy, but what I will gain out of it will be a lot more favorable."
Shaking occurred throughout the dimension, and it was felt by the Crimson Crane. They had moved from their position in search of another area that was built up with buildings.
At the same time, the body of Feebie was placed in the river, with heavy rocks to stop it from floating up, making it harder for anyone to find the body.
Meanwhile, Raze's body was placed on the cold floor, but he looked peaceful as he slept away.
"It's still hard to believe, this is the Dark Magus that we were searching for, right?" Alba said to the rest of the group that was practically staring at him. "He's just a kid."
"I don't find it hard to believe that this is the Dark Magus," Reno replied. "What I do find hard to believe is that he is just a kid. The way he talks, the knowledge that he has, and the conviction to his goal, it is beyond that."
"And that's why he's still a good ally to have."
Right then, dropping down from above on the outside, Froma, who was on lookout, had entered.
"Alba, I think you should come out and have a look at this."
Alba rushed out and jumped to the rooftop. As they did, they looked in the distance and from afar, they could see the giant beast in the sand.
Both of them knew what it was straight away, without a doubt that was the dimension boss.
"Wait, what summoned it, does that mean someone is in here with us?" Alba asked.
Just then, they witnessed the large giant creature that could be seen from afar like that of a tornado, get hit by something. It was too small but its entire body squashed down.
The body of the giant beast wavered in the air before it fell to its side on the floor.
Right in front of their eyes, the dimension boss has been killed.
"The dimension boss, it was just killed!" Froma stated. "That means the portal on the outside, it's now closed, right!"
"Not just that," Alba replied. "Most people think that the dimension gate from this side doesn't close until everyone exits it, but that's not the case."
"There's just a large window. If we stay here too long, the portal from the inside will close as well."
Now all Amir had to do was stand by the dimension portal, and whoever was inside would come to him.
