The feeling of ascension faded as the fog in front him slowly disappeared. The castle, those eyes and he never ending universe was also gone.
Ray found himself in the air. In front of him was the ground and trolls that flooded he whole place were almost gone. Ray knew that it was thanks to Sirius and the others. They all had bravely killed the trolls.
He landed on the ground and looked forward. The lightning still lingered around him and mana in the surroundings was also unstable. Ray understood that what he just experienced was something different whatever it was, this was not the time to think over it.
"Ray, hurry out of here," Aurora's tense voice sounded.
"Why?" Ray asked back in confusion.
"Just do so, I will tell you later. Just get out of the academy as fast as you can," Said Aurora. He voice was tense and uneasy. Listening to her, Ray understood that something might have gone out of control and that a great danger was incoming.
"Okay," Ray nodded and stopped playing. He knew that the trolls up ahead were not too strong and the only reason he delayed the matter this much was to allow everyone else gain some experience and fighting skills.
"Sirius," He called out through his bond.
"What happened?" Sirius asked back.
"We need to hurry. Something dangerous is on the way," Ray told Sirius.
"Hmm... we have a whole ground to clear and also a hallway. I would say we need thirty minutes more if the strongest join forces and attack together," Sirius calculated the whole thing and gave an estimate.
"Okay, gather everyone," Ray said.
Sirius nodded and the slashed his spear. The troll in front of him was instantly killed as it's body was cut into two. Sirius did the same with every troll around him. The shadows gathered as he moved from one point to another.
He went to every person on the battlefield and asked them to gather. He didn't even consider if a person was weak or strong. He just went to them and told them to regather.
Within minutes, the whole fight had stopped. The battlefield was empty as everyone had hurried to finish their battles and get back together.
They all stood on one side. Clothes all bloody as they looked like an army of demon that had been raised in hell.
Ray stood in front of them all as he addressed them at once.
"The situation is getting dire and things would only get worse. If we don't hurry, more portals would open up as the spatial barrier around the academy is weakening by the second and it's only a matter of time before it's breached. Therefore, I request you all to hurry," Said Ray.
"What do you mean by hurry? We are fighting the hardest we can," A student spoke. His eyes were red from the bloodshed as he barely held himself standing. He had multiple wounds on his body as blood poured out of them.
"I understand. That's why, I have made a decision to ask you all to rest and then march back to the infirmary. Group everyone there and lead them back to the portal. As for the remaining trolls, don't worry about them. The leaders would handle it," Said Ray calmly. His visage and the confidence that oozed out of him made them calm down.
They all believed him and whispered around with each other. After sometime, they all nodded and finally fell to the ground.
They had all been tired due to the insistent fighting and now that it wasn't their job anymore. They all felt tired and exhausted.
"Everyone, it's not the time for rest. Even though the fighting is over for you, there are other things to do. Therefore, I urge you all to do a bit more and call everyone from the infirmary. Also, don't worry about going there on foot. I will open a portal to the infirmary," Said Ray.
He turned around and walked to an empty space. Pulling out a couple of purplish stones from his inventory. He placed them on the ground and made a symbol around them.
It was the eye of a strange draconic being as something murky swirled in it. Placing the last stone on the symbol, the stones pulsed and glowed a purplish light.
In the middle of the eye, a small dot appeared as it spread outwards and formed a whirling starlight pattern. Ray stepped back and turned to everyone as he spoke, "This is a portal that connects to the infirmary. Just walk through it and you will reach the infirmary. Also, this portal will remain open for half an hour only. So I ask you all to hurry up before the portal closes,"
Listening to Ray and seeing the portal in front of them, the students nodded with some fervor as they started to walk into it.
Ray grabbed his academy badge and tried to contact the head nurse but all he could do was send a message and wait for her to hear it.
"Mam, I have opened the portal using the Void Stones in my possession. It will be open for half an hour, please evacuate the infirmary as fast as possible and walk into the portal. Also, I have sent a lot members back to assist you all," Saying this, Ray cut the message. Seeing the others, only a few remained as within minutes, everyone was gone.
"Good, now let's have some fun," He said with a smile. Only his team members and other leaders were left. They were all those who stayed back willingly and were strong enough to not be a burden.
"Everyone, I thank you all for staying behind. Let's finish this once and for all," He spoke with zeal and lifted his sword.
The mana around the air hummed as multiple strong individuals charged their attacks. This time, Ray's team was almost complete as only Noah, Aliya, Aella and Emma were missing.
But it didn't put much of a dent on the overall strength of the team as Kashish, Nia, Adrian and the others were here.
In total, eleven individuals were left behind. These were the strongest individuals and Ray was confident hat with their help, he would be able to clear the following path.
Ray readied his sword and stood on the ground. Lighting arced around his body as shimmering scales appeared on his skin. He had decided to use his transformation and end this as fast as he could.
On the other hand, Sirius also resided himself. His spear whizzed in excitement as strange veins appeared on it. Blood flowed in them as Sirius raised the spear and held it in front of him.
Along with him, the rest also got ready. Nia used her element to cover herself in an armor of light while Hailey transformed into her werewolf form. Elina used her powers as a dark halo appeared above her. Her eyes were pitch black while a dark hazy cat sat on her shoulders.
Adrian used his element and controlled the darkness around him as he turned his surrounding into a swamp of darkness.
Soon, everyone had resided themselves. They were all utilizing their full strength and were ready to crush any opponent that came their way.
Ray planted his feet on the ground and pushed it back. The ground got scorched as immense heat was produced by his body. The air whirled as Ray turned into a blur.
His sword flashed as it cut through the air and an arc was released from it. The arc travelled forward as it cut the walls and travelled to the next hallway.
Behind Ray, two shadows flew by. One was Sirius and the other Adrian. Sirius swung his spear as two dark eyes appeared behind him while Adrian had darkness converging around him. He raised his hands and punched the trolls while Sirius cut them in half.
Nia raised her sword as light illuminated the place. Her element burned the trolls as she threw balls do light on every troll she saw and burnt them to the ground.
Hailey paired up with Elina as she acted as Elina's sword. Elina made the way using her powers and Hailey killed the trolls with her superior physical abilities.
The others also got themselves involved. Tim used his shield to act as the tank while Kashish lead the rest of the leaders into killing every troll in sight.
Within minutes, the hallway was cleared. Ray stood in front of the entrance. The next and final ground was in his view. He raised his sword as electrical arcs crackled over it. His eyes turned deep blue as he activated his domain.
The lightning around him converged as he jumped in the air and swing his sword. A huge ball of lighting was formed on the tip of his sword as he forcefully pushed it inside the entrance of the ground.
*Boooooooooom* A huge explosion occurred as a thick stench of blood and burnt corpses spread in the air.
Suddenly, Ray's eyes constricted as he felt the aura of a Calamity Ranked expert.
"Guys, get ready. The final boss has finally appeared," he muttered and entered the ground.
