"Headmaster, if this continues we will not be able to hold on!" One of the teachers said while he was reinforcing the barrier.
It took seven teachers just to form this barrier but they're just barely holding on. This was bad news. They needed at least an hour or two to fully evacuate the students of their school. So, all they could do was hold the fort until everyone was in safe zone.
"Where is Song?" The headmaster asked. He was talking about Teacher Song.
"He is still under calculation process, so I bet he won't be out until he finishes his job." A teacher answered with sweat running down his face.
"Dammit." The headmaster couldn't help but curse under his breath. He needed Song for something right now, yet he was still unavailable even during this crisis, "Have those alumni that we sought for help answered the letter?"
He was talking about the three alumni who reached the of peak level of this world.
"They haven't." A lady teacher shook her head, "But the past graduates will be coming for sure even if you don't ask for them."
This didn't make him relieved even a bit. The enemies this time were very powerful and they needed people who would stand with them battling these monsters.
"Activate the dark crystal!" The headmaster gritted his teeth and said. They couldn't just wait here for someone to save their asses. They needed to do something.
The two remaining people who were idle immediately acknowledged this order and went a hundred meters back.
"Activate!" Then, they touched the sky. Soon, it revealed a big crystal filled with darkness inside. The dark crystal was in diamond shape and if you look at it, it was like a precious gemstone.
"Open!" The two shouted, and the dark crystal glowed up with black light. Afterwards, it shot a beam of black light towards where First Cloud was!
"Boom!" Unfortunately, the hit didn't reach First Cloud as a barrier had been formed.
"Futile resistance." First Cloud shook her head and said, "You know the outcome of this battle will be resulting to your deaths, yet you are still fighting back needlessly."
She paused, laughed, and added, "I know that you're just buying time for your students to escape, but please don't underestimate the power of Black Cloud. It's more than you can imagine."
Hearing this, the headmaster was a bit terrified. Though he knew that their plan would soon be in the light, he didn't expect it to be this soon!
"Increase the energy of the dark crystal! It's okay to run everything out of it!" The headmaster said in a hurry. He knew that increasing the energy consumption of the crystal would make the effect time be shortened by a great deal. But he had no choice either.
If he didn't do everything, the academy would soon fall down.
"I told you that this is all useless. Resistance is useless. Your academy is doomed to fall tonight." First Cloud smiled like a devil and said.
"I doubt about that." Suddenly, a voice rang out everyone's ears which got the attention. Soon, four figures emerged from the void.
All of them were men and wearing the same clothing, a black robe. Though their appearances were different with each other, their looks were still on top.
Their auras exploded like a wildfire, giving everyone the impression of their power.
"Fireland Progenitor, Yellowstone Progenitor, Soulstice Progenitor, and Goodchild Progenitor!" An spectator exclaimed in surprise, "The four top progenitors of the previous batch has came!"
"Oh? An eternal and myriad progenitors have joined the fray. Now this is interesting." First Cloud chuckled and said.
Fireland and Soulstice, the two myriad progenitors, positioned themselves opposite of the Second Cloud, who was attacking by the Buddha.
"Second Cloud, is it?" Fireland Progenitor smiled and cupped his fists, "We'll be your opponent."
This act of respect towards enemies even they would fight to the death earned the admiration of others. If it's any other people, they wouldn't be able to be this polite like Fireland.
"Amithaba." The Second Cloud chanted, "Your fate and ties have already been severed by Buddha to this academy. You shall have not come here."
"While it's true that I'm no longer a student, the fact remains that I was a student nurtured by the academy." Fireland shook his head and said, "So if the academy dies, so will I."
"I understand your point, yes." The Second Cloud nodded, "But you shall know that I am way stronger than you two."
"That's true." Fireland laughed a bit, "But it doesn't matter at all. So please excuses us."
"Whoosh!" Fireland and Soulstice dashed towards the Second Cloud in a very fast manner. They activated everything they had, revealing millions of oceans above their heads. Fireland created a sea of fire, waving like a tsunami. Soulstice created a land of tombs, empowering the attack of Fireland.
"Amithaba." The Second Cloud opened his closed eyes, and golden lights had been emitted from it. The Buddha statue waved its hands and pierce them towards the two progenitors.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The ocean of fire clashed with each other creating thousands of fluctuations all around. The wind scattered into all directions annihilating every living organism nearby.
"Ugh!" Fireland took a step backward because of the force from his enemy. Though he already expected that the Second Cloud was very strong, he didn't expect him to be this strong even after two myriad progenitors going at him!
"Truly an immortal progenitor." Fireland was thrilled. Though he was only a myriad progenitor, it didn't mean that he would back down in a fight against a stronger individual.
"Soulstice!" Then, Fireland gave a signal to his comrade.
"Activate." Soulstice immediately acknowledged this signal and released all his chaos energy. Thousands of souls lingered around him and circulating. The souls cried with wrath as if they died in indignation.
Then, the souls emerged with each other, creating a gargantuan sword above Soulstice's head.
