Chapter 129 - Confrontation

Eventually, people started calling her names, especially the loved ones of the students that always lost their children's lives to the sudden attack of those unknown creatures.

It was because of this very reason that she came to the eastern district to escape the people in the western district calling her a witch that killed her students and blamed it on a monster. 

The questionable thing was that whenever those monsters or strange things happened, it was always at the schools that she happened to be situated, at the time. 

And those schools that she used to teach were nothing but a commoner schools in the western district. They were unlike the noble or prestigious institutions renowned in the western district and thus, they received less attention from the royal families.

And also, when people started calling her a witch and a jinx, she could not refute their claims since these events happened almost at every commoner school that she had transferred to after every incident. 

However, upon coming to the eastern district and landing a teaching job at a prominent academy such as Sky Rise Academy, she thought that she had escaped the tragic fate of losing her students all the time without being able to get there in time.

This has frustrated and caused her to despair for a long time. But who would have thought that same tragic fate would once again follow her new teaching institution in this eastern district?

Thinking about what is to come after this, she did not hesitate and quickly grabbed the three students and instantly cast a body enhancement spell, and quickly ran away from the forest without looking back. 

After she left the place, a pair of glowing yellow eyes belonging to a vile-looking creature glanced at her departing figure while showing its razor-sharp fangs and its long tongue that hangs from its mouth as it drips with sticky saliva. 

After leaving the forest with the three frozen students in her arms, who at this point looked like stone statues, she immediately shouted outwards: "Run! Run! We need to run!"

Hearing her incoherent and senseless remarks, everyone was bewildered and glanced at Instructor Ava, who was carrying the three females who did not appear harmed just by looking at their bodies.

"What is going on, teacher Ava?" The students from her class asked.

"Yeah, instructor Ava, why are you out of breath? What happened out there?" One of the instructors asked her. 

"We need to get out of here right now! Something is coming!" She shouted once again with a scowled expression, confusing everyone.

"What are you talking about…"

"Ahhhh!! What the fuck! Something bit my arm!!" A student suddenly screamed in pain while grasping at his amputated right arm that was spilling blood everywhere. 

Looking at the marks left behind, it looked as if something with razor-sharp teeth bit his arm off in one bite up to his elbow.

A second later.

"Arghhh!! My leg! Help me! Somebody… T-Teacher, save me!!" 

Everyone gasped in shock when they heard the screaming pained voices, including the instructors who failed to heed Instructor Ava's warning words.

Within the next few seconds, various screams of the students reverberate throughout the surrounding. 

Some lost their legs, others lost their arm, and some also had their chest slashed by a sharp claw, revealing the skin underneath. 

But the strange part was that the wound inflicted on their bodies were not deep with the exception of those who lost their arms and legs, so as long as it was treated right away, the students' life would not be in danger. 

This situation looked like whatever attacked the students was only playing with its food before ultimately consuming them.

"Shit! It's too late, it's already here! We need to take the injured and get out of here as soon as possible! Somebody, make a call to the military for reinforcement! There is a terrifying monster lurking in the forest, and now, it is targeting us!" Instructor Ava impatiently said to the dazed-out instructors who had no idea what was going on with their students.

Due to their carefree mindset they had until now because of how smooth the journey was thus far, they did not expect to encounter any dangerous monsters or beasts at this point in time.

But then what was happening in front of their eyes? Are they being attacked? If so, then where is the attacker? Where is the creature that was attacking them? They were confused about this matter. 

Looking at the bewildered instructors who were not responding to her words, she emphasized: "We need to leave right now! What are you all doing? Do you want to watch that creature finish killing your students before you act?!"

Immediately upon hearing these words, the other instructors snapped out of it and quickly moved and tried getting their students back into the bus. Since the school bus was reinforced to withstand up to B-Rank attack power.

But it was too late!

"Urhghh!" One of the male instructors who got close to one of his students, suddenly screamed as he was impaled from behind by a clawed arm. 

"Cough! Cough! Ugh!" He coughed up a mouthful of blood shortly after.

He frantically tried to stop the bleeding by grabbing his stomach, but he was met with a green-clawed arm that was still impaling his stomach. 

At this point, the creature that impaled him with its clawed arm abruptly raised him up with blood flowing along its scaled clawed arm as it dripped down on the ground. 

This caused the other instructors and the students to freeze on the spot in fear due to how huge the creature they were witnessing was.

They did not even dare to make any noise, afraid that they would be next if they had screamed at this time.

At this moment, everyone could see the creature with their own eyes, but no one could guess what sort of creature it was at a first glance. 

It was a ghastly creature whose identity could not be confirmed, rather it seemed like the amalgamation of other creatures, thus having many different body parts.

But the odd part was that it was humanoid, too human-looking due to some part of its skin looking like that of a human's body. Nevertheless, its body composition might not be human at all, just by looking at its humongous figure. 

If one observed closely, they would see that it had scaled right arm, furry left arm, lizard-like head, razor-like fangs, its legs were also hinged but they seemed to belong to some unknown creature.

At this point, if anyone were to take a guess at its identity based on these features alone, they might not be able to conclude with confidence since no one knew about every creature that came over to this world. 

However, if one took a look at the creature's body closely, they would find out that it had stitches all over its body as if those body parts were sewn unto its main body. 

If one couple that with the other discovery, then they would either assume that it was some sort of mutated creature, which was very unlikely, or a chimera creature which seemed more plausible.

And if it really was a chimera, then who created such a monster, and what was their motive for creating such an inhuman thing?
