Chapter 498 Encounter with Death
It was dark, and the stars were shining in the night sky like countless bright white pearls in the black sea.
At a time when most of the creatures preferred to rest and sleep to recover from all the exhaustion and stress their bodies had gone through throughout the day, the campus was full of people.
Students were still moving around as if their sleep cycle was different and night had different meaning for them.
It was not their fault; all the students here were already at the peak of the Elite stage or already on the Epic stage.
The importance of sleep was different for them. There was no need to sleep for them if they were not injured or mentally exhausted.
They could go on sleepless nights without feeling anything, but not many practiced this as it harmed the brain.
At this time, in good weather, everyone was enjoying their time.
In the night canteen, which was full of students, a group of students could be seen laughing.
Looking at each other's faces, it was as if they were trying hard to control their laughter. The group had two girls and four boys.
Occasionally, they were looking at the back of the boy sitting before them.
"Stop it; you might anger him," said one of the boys.
"He is right; I think you should stop. Why are you bullying that cute-looking guy? Is it because I complimented him?" said the blonde-haired girl as she took a sip of her drink and looked at the troublemaker.
The boy laughed and said, "Why would I do that? I was having fun. Aren't you already enjoying it?"
Others were silent, and while they were telling him to stop, it was only for show.
"Give me that aluminium foil," said the boy with the hat with a smile.
His friend passed him that; he crushed it and created a ball. He then aimed and threw the ball at the boy; others looked with anticipation.
A gust of wind meets the ball halfway and excels at it further. The silver ball tears through the air like a meteor and approaches the silver-haired boy's head.
However, to the group's surprise, the boy ducks while taking a bite of his burger.
"Shit," said the boy, fixing his cap. He didn't expect that a ball would come at him and enter his mouth.
'Vomit,' he was forced to vomit it out as if it was clad in something that made his body uncomfortable.
Others laughed at him before helping him.
He looked at the ball that had come out of his mouth with teary eyes and clenched his fists.
His vision shifted toward the place where the silver-haired boy was sitting, but he could see no one sitting there.
He looked around and saw a boy with silver hair leaving the café.
His friends laughed at him, especially the blonde girl who mocked him. "I think you messed with the wrong guy."
This further fueled his anger. "Follow me," he said as he started moving toward the exit.
Others looked at each other for a moment before following him.
The moment they came out, they saw their friend moving quickly, and they followed him.
All of them appeared in the park, which was silent right now. The capped boy halted his steps when he saw the silver-haired boy looking at him, sitting on the bench like a boss.
Others also appeared and looked at the show; even they were surprised that the temper of this boy was totally different.
They could sense an eerie presence coming from him; the way he looked at them was not how other humans looked at each other.
It was as if a terrefying beast was looking at its prey. The moment the girl looked at him from the front, she found him even more charming, but the cold look he gave them was not friendly.
The boy turned his cap backward and looked at the boy; he had already seen his friends appearing from behind, which gave him some confidence.
"You think you will scare me by acting tough? It looks like you don't know me," he said.
The opponent just kept looking at him; a crimson glow appeared in his eyes.
This was enough to make the whole body of the opponent shake; he could feel shivers all over his body.
'Cough'
The boy cleared his throat. "What are you watching? Help me; let's teach this guy a lesson."
However, before they could do anything, they saw a big, vertical eye behind the boy sitting on the bench.
Its Iris Started spinning, its triangular pupil expanded. Thick killing intent was released, and it hit all six of them.
They felt as if they had died several times in different ways. The eyes expanded in their heads, and they all fainted.

Rishi shook his head before disappearing from that place.
He returned to his room and started reading the other book about magic circles. With this break, he was ready to go for a full-nighter.
Timpe kept passing as he kept turning pages. This book talked about the different types of magic circles.
It was short, so he finished it in just two hours. He took a small break before moving on to the third book.
This was about advanced concepts of magic circles; with time, he was feeling a slight headache. It was something he was familiar with; this was called memory overload.
His limit was way higher than others, but he also had a limit. He decided to take some rest and go to bed.
The following day started with a strange rumor: six students were found in a fainted state inside a park.
They all appeared shocked; the doctor tested them and found that there was no issue with their bodies.
They were completely healthy; however, none of them awoke, no matter how hard the doctor tried.
It was as if they had all gone into a coma. This was concerning, so the college asked for the help of a specialist.
With the help of specialists, they came back to their senses one by one; all of them screamed and started crying.
Trying to hide, the doctor asked them what happened to them.
The strange part was that they didn't remember anything; they only remembered being looked upon by a giant eye placed vertically with a red iris.
The trauma they felt made them unable to sleep; every moment they felt as if someone was staring at them from shadows.
