150 Chapter 150: Let's not waste time

Silence resumed in the night as Liz and Jinha made their rounds. They were the only ones remaining inside the academy premises while the rest of the Council members scouted the city.

Liz knitted her brows as she walked around as she felt something amiss. She looked at Jinha who had his hands behind his head as he walked with her, boredom evident on his face.

She shook her head as she remembered how he protested against staying inside the academy.

"No fair... Why should I stay out of the fun?"

Liz asked him, "Who said you will stay out of the fun?"

"Isn't that what it means? Guard the academy!" He looked at the rest and pointed at them while looking at her and screamed, "They are going to have fun. They are getting some action while I get only leisure walks. "

Everyone rolled their eyes at him before proceeding to their duties.

Liz sighed for the millionth time and said, "If you are that itching for a fight, then go with them. I can scout the academy on my own."

Jinha raised his eyebrows when he saw her walk forward without any care. He chuckled softly before striding towards her and said, "I don't want to hear that I am negligent with my duties."

Liz glanced at him through the corner of her eye before a sigh escaped her lips.

Suddenly she stopped when she heard loud footsteps from inside the building. She exchanged gazes with Jinha who was also looking at the direction with his eyebrows furrowed.

He waved his hand towards the students guarding some distance away and directed them towards the direction. He nodded at Liz and walked back to the main entrance. 

They knitted their brows when they saw the empty front yard. They walked around the building, stopping at the entrance. 

The sound grew louder as if a cluster of people were running towards them. Liz gripped her hands around her sword while Jinha stomped the spear on the ground.

Soon, he saw dark shadows emerge from the door making the students gasp in shock.

'How did they enter?'

Jinha furrowed his brows as he pointed his spear at the demons collectively gathered by the door. Pursing his lips, he slowly pressed the bracelet around his wrist but to his surprise, it didn't light up.

A chuckle was heard, "There's no point in clicking that."

Jinha looked up and saw a figure step out from the darkness, with his hands in his pockets. The figure raised his head, his silver hair falling on his face as he smirked, "We made a little adjustment to it."

Liz widened her eyes in shock before her eyes shifted towards her bracelet.

'How can that be?!'

The guy laughed softly, "Let's not waste time, shall we?" 

He lifted his hands in response and waved it. Instantly the reapers rushed towards them and sounds of swords clashing filled the air. 

She immediately summoned a wall of fire as she separated the reapers from them. Her sword shone in blue light while her other arm was covered with ice.

She moved forward hitting the reapers scythe back and forth with her sword and arm. When she saw the reaper lift its scythe in the air, slashed its waist. She touched its body and said coldly, "Blackout"

Instantly, ice spread throughout its body, freezing it, and shattered into ice shards.

Liz let out a sigh before she turned towards the students and said, "Inform the rest"

The students nodded their heads immediately before their eyes widened. Liz knitted her brows but before she could ask them, she felt it. 

She felt the power behind her.

She turned around instantly trying to avoid the attack but failed to dodge it completely. She flew backward and slammed against the wall. Her hands shook as she grasped the wall beside her for support but instantly the silver-haired guy appeared before her. Liz glanced up at him and saw him smirk as he raised his foot to kick her. 

Liz rolled on the ground as she dodged the attack.

'Damn this guy! It was taking all of her strength to move her body.' 

Her lips trembled as she looked up and saw the guy smirking at her amusedly. That kick took her breath away, she was even sure she had some internal bleeding.

'Who was this guy?'

She couldn't feel his aura but she knew at a glance that she was no match for him. His one attack would finish her off. 

Liz snapped out of her thoughts when she saw him appear before her and stomp on her. He curled his lips as kicked her stomach and bury his feet. 

Liz's face paled as she groaned in pain. She heard her bones cracking under his pressure. Blood lodged on her throat making her able to taste its metallic taste. She glared at the man as she held his feet with both of her hands. Ice-covered his feet which made the silver-haired guy chuckled in amusement.

"You think your ice can stop me?"

Liz widened her eyes when she saw the ice melt under her hands. Smokes arose from his clothes making her gasp.

'Just who the hell is this guy?'

The silver-haired guy smirked, "You don't have to know that." He crushed his feet on her stomach making her groan. Blood seeped through her lips as she clutched her stomach in pain. The guy laughed as he kicked repeatedly on her, enjoying how she was trying to hold herself from screaming.

Liz was reduced to a bloodied mess as she laid there unmoving with her whole body covered in blood. She could feel the wet sensation on her face and wondered whether she would be able to live through this day.

She didn't have the energy to lift a finger when she heard him mumble under his breath, "Well, this was no fun. Maybe I should kill all the Heroes and crush their hopes"

Even if she wanted to shout at him, she just couldn't find the strength in her. Then she heard him say, "Then, let's start with you."

Liz smiled in her mind, 'Ah!! finally, she's going to be relieved of this torture.'

As she waited for the final strike to end her life, she heard a bloodcurdling scream and a kick to her body as it moved backward and hit the wall. Liz knitted her brows as she slowly struggled to open her eyes.

The vision in front of her was blurry making her blink repeatedly. Finally, the vision before her become clear making her smile weakly.

'This guy...'

Before her eyes stood Jinha who was covered in lightning all over, with his spear caught by the silver-haired guy's hand. Sparks flew from his body as he glared at the demon in front of him. 

He pushed the guy away and moved back. His eyes drifted towards Liz who was lying there motionlessly. He gritted his teeth in anger before his eyes drifted towards the silver-haired guy observe him curiously.

They stared at each other for a second and the next second they were exchanging blows. Jinha was furious as he summoned his lightning and attacked the guy, who calmly dodged every attack. It was as if he was testing his power making Jinha snarl. 

He rotated his spear in his hand as he attacked him continuously, increasing his speed madly. Jinha saw the guy dodge each of his attacks making him gather lightning at the spear tip and throw it at him.

The silver-haired guy moved back as the lightning ball hit the ground and a loud explosion occurred. Before the guy turned to look at Jinha, his eyes widened when he saw the spear right in front of his face. He tried moving back but found his feet being stomped by Jinha. His blade slashed his face and Jinha punched him in the stomach hard.

The silver-haired guy stumbled backward in shock. His hands shook as he touched his face and looked at the black blood on his hand. His eyes glowed murderously as he yelled, "How dare you ruin my face?"

Instantly both of them crashed against each other. Sparks flew as they fought recklessly. Suddenly both of them took their fight to the air. Jinha floated high up from the ground and lifted his spear towards the sky. 

Thunder and lightning echoed loudly across the sky as dark clouds gathered above him. Jinha pointed his spear at him and abruptly, the lightning from the sky attacked him. Flowing through him to his spear, gathering at its tip into a huge lightning ball.

"Lightning bolt"

He lifted his spear and swished it towards him. The huge ball of lightning attacked the silver-haired guy who protected himself with his hands forward. A blinding light spread widely across the sky followed by a loud explosion.

Jinha panted as he looked at his spear which was broken due to the massive energy he summoned. His eyes shifted to Liz who was laying on the ground. He flew towards her and landed beside her.

"L-Liz"

Liz tried to muster her smile, "At the least, you got your fun now."

Jinha's hands trembled as he slowly held her. 

"Come on, let's get you to the ward"

Liz shook her head, "Don't move... it hurts"

He pressed his lips into a thin line and murmured, "Sorry"

Liz tried to open her eyes again but failed, so she patted his hand and comforted him. 

"Looks like you got the time to worry about your partner"

Instantly both of them froze before they turned to look up. The silver-haired guy was floating in the sky with his eyes glowing red. His hands had turned into claws and his face was half-covered with black marks. 

He glowered at Jinha, "I won't die by the hand of a puny demon."
