With a sneer, a man with hollow eyes appeared right before Mogan startling him and making him step back.
Laughing at the naive boy in his heart, he extended his fist to grab him.
However, in an instant, the hollow man who was pouncing on Mogan suddenly felt his vision becoming dark.
'Why did it become dark all of a sudden?'
The man wondered for a moment.
Unfortunately, before he could find the answer, a huge palm emerging out of nowhere slammed him onto the ground.
BOOM!
A layer of dust rose along with fierce coercion sweeping away the dust and debris.
The ground crackled forming a large pit inside which the man was crushed into meat paste by the swat of the palm.
As the layer dissipated, an image of a humongous humanoid creature appeared terrorizing them.
Mogan body swelled up.
Leaving the stretched pants, his upper clothes tore up exuding his bulky muscles. His arms bulged as thick as a log and his pinkish hair stood up erect and his pupils became blank.
A dense pressure radiating from him and just a glance from his black eyes was enough to make you feel goosebumps.
A fierce breath filled with manliness exuded from him startling the enemies wondering how this sissy pants turned into a World BodyBuilding Champion in an instant.
"What kind of weird bloodline do people have nowadays?"
Let alone the enemies, the students who were on the run were so shocked by Mogan's transformation, that they halted on their steps for a moment as their legs became petrified.
Mogan slammed his chest creating a small ripple and pointed his thumb at the enemies.
"You all. Come at me together, I am gonna crush all of you into pieces."
Letting a hoarse manly voice, Mogan rubbed his huge broad palms.
"Shut up, you are still sissy pants.''
Two enemies after getting out of their bewilderment joined the fray.
Soon after that a flash of light with a deafening roar creating sonic booms shot at Mogan.
Seeing the wave of pulsating energy moving straight toward his heart, a sneer appeared on his lips.
Leaving behind a devastated cracked ground, Mogan leapt into the air, jumping straight towards the attack.
Extending both his arms towards the other side, he brought them together to make a clap.
CLAP!
A concentrated mass of pressure created by the clap collided with the flash of lightning.
BOOM!
The ground cracked forming a rift and the magical energy in lightning was dissipated and thwarted like smoke sending tremors of shockwaves.
The power of shockwaves sent back the enemies hurtling backwards and crashing onto the ground like rag dolls.
Letting out a groan, they tried to get up on their feet but the moment they raised their chin, their eyes met with the blank white eyes of a huge bulky man blocking the light.
Even before they could react, they saw a huge fist hurling their way making their vision become blurry.
BOOOOOOOM!
...
Calvin who was playing with Julian suddenly saw the dimming number of the men he brought and clicked his tongue.
"Tsk! Useless!"
"Each one of them is useless."
CLANG!
Julian's eyes flashed as suddenly a black smoke hovered around Calvin shrouding him in a sea of mystery.
Julian, feeling an unusual burst of energy from the attack, raised her black greatsword to defend but as soon as the burst of energy struck, her figure bounced back like a comet.
Sending Julian's eyes, Calvin turned back with an annoyed expression.
"Cannon fodders will always be cannon fodders."
He turned around at the 80 people who were carving a magical circle of blood for the ritual.
If he sends them, they can naturally take care of these kids but it may end up with these kids dying if they fail to control themselves.
Initially, he planned to kill all of the students but he was ordered by headquarters to restrain from killing them as all of them are noble heirs of major families.
As they still can't afford to have a frontal war with an Empire.
They allowed that boy to kill the son of the Duke because that boy took a huge risk for them and managed to complete the task successfully.
As for this girl, she was going to end up comatose for the rest of her life and this may also divert the attention of the Royals in searching for a cure for her which might buy some time for them.
"Arise my fellow mates and cast your deadly skills."
As soon as his words ceased a dark green mist emerged from his body after which many ghouls appeared surrounding him.
Then he raised his staff and chanted.
A huge arcana magic circle covered the sky bursting out into a radiant greenish light.
"Illusion Aracana."
A greenish wave of light illuminated the whole place engulfing everyone into its shine.
"You all take on the ones who manage to get out from the illusion. Dont kill them. You can play with them as long as you like."
Calvin ordered the ghoul who screamed excitedly as if they were going to have a feast.
GRRR!
SRRRE!
SCRREE!
The ghouls let out piercing howls as if they were filled with happiness for getting the freedom to play.
His gaze then turned towards Julian who was gasping heavily.
"Come on, girl. Fight me with everything you have got as this might be the last fight of your life."
Julian raising her chin stared into the man's hollow eyes and scoffed.
"Last fight?!"
"Certainly not."
Julian snorted and dived forward with great momentum.
....
Cough....Cough....
Humphrey coughed to snap Monica's thoughts who blushed for a moment.
Averting her gaze with a shy expression, Monica shook her head.
"Hey, what do you mean by that?"
Humphrey who was enjoying the moment of his own because of being supported and helped by Monica to walk to the safe zone suddenly felt sour seeing Monica staring at Mogan intently.
Seeing Humphrey's piercing gaze, Monica calming down turned her face towards Humphrey.
At that time, a greenish light blinded her vision.
The moment her vision became normal, she gasped in shock and pushed away the skeleton figure that had an arm around her neck.
"Kyaaaaaaaak!"
"Who are you? Where is Humphrey?"
Monica shouted with a pale expression seeing the skeleton getting up.
"Monica it's me, Humphrey."
"Why did you push me down? Is it me, Humphrey!!"
The skeleton opened its jaw to emit words in Humphrey's voice making Monica panic.
Meanwhile, Humphrey, who was pushed by Monica, stood there rooted with a dark expression.
"Don't come near me. You disgust me."
"I don't like you. In fact, I hate you."
"Monica...what are you saying?"
Humphrey's face turned ashen and his heartfelt stabs and Monica's words started ringing in his ears.
He took a step forward but stopped seeing Monica preparing a spell to hit him.
Soon his vision was covered with a huge magical circle encasing his whole vision.
...
"It's my fault."
"I am an idiot."
"I should have quit instead of dreaming of getting a good rank and being delusional that I have grown up."
Drops of tears oozed out from his eyes thinking about his pathetic situation. His heart was gripping tightly by fear and he felt as if he was just few inches away from death.
Roan who was crawling down and wriggling slowly towards the safe zone in fear of being hit by a shock wave suddenly felt his surroundings changing and everything became dark.
A white light flashed and many people appeared crowding with him at the center and started mocking him.
"You are useless."
"You are just surviving by hugging other's thighs."
"You are dead weight."
"Baggage that can be thrown away at any moment."
"Dead weight...No, I am not a dead weight!"Roan refuted immediately but everyone just sneered and laughed at him.
"You are an idiot."
"You are a mere bottom feeder. You can never climb up the ranks. You are weak and rely on others. You take advantage of your friendship to get safety. Heck, you aren't even worthy enough for us to even spit on you."
"Shut...Shut up!!"
Kneeling, Roan closed his ears and started screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Why are you looking down instead of looking at us? Isn't it because you are just sub-par and don't deserve to be friends with them? Soon you are going to lay in the dust and stay behind."
"No...I will not!"Roan screamed with a trembling voice. His body quivered and even though he tried to cut his hearing, words were still pouring into his ears.
"I can move forward. If Lucas can get stronger, I can too!"
"Hahahahah!"
"Hahahaha!"
A burst of laughter rang all around.
"Stop being delusional."
"You are not Lucas. Soon, very soon the same people who stay close to you will discard you and try to stay further and further away from you."
"And then like this, you will just be a poor, lonely pathetic soul with no one to look after you. Even your own family would be disgusted at you."
"Stop...Please stop..."
Drops of tears started to slide against his cheek.
He knew he was living in vanity.
He knew it was useless for him to get stronger, unlike others who could move forward faster than him and get stronger.
"Roan....leave...."
"There is still time...Get away from them."
"Don't delude yourself further."
A loud voice rang all around Roan and unable to bear it, Roan hugged his body and cuddled, unable to find the strength to refute the voices ringing in his head.
