Chapter 52 Mysterious Beast



A student from D class yelled, "WHAT IS THAT?!" Which then immediately attracted the beast's attention.

It launched an attack on them. The students in his group burst into a pulp of blood, including him, leaving their body parts all over the ground.

They died instantly without having a chance to even scream. The creature approached the students' corpses and ate each one as it approached.

Meanwhile, in a certain location close to the area where those students just got killed.

"Who do you guys think would come in first on the ranking, by the way?"

"From the A class, it should be Fiona or Celestia, Goren, Chloe, and Zoh."

"Yeah, I don't think any students from other classes would stand a chance; only students from A classes should be able to be ranked at the top."

"Their strengths are just too monstrous, I've watched that battle between the academy clown and Fiona."

"Nevertheless, we must at least…" This student noticed that his group members had stopped as he was about to speak.

This group of students was conversing while they were walking when they abruptly stopped. Their facial expressions change a split second later.

The student who was about to speak was perplexed and cast a glance in their general direction before his expression changed.

They could make out a beast at a distance devouring the body parts of their fellow students.

When the group's leader regained his senses from his shock at seeing such a scene, he said, "RUN! and tell the professors about what just happened."

The beasts noticed them, it stopped what it was doing, and immediately appeared in front of them as they prepared to retreat and seek out the professors.

They were so terrified as they stared at the beasts that suddenly appeared in front of them that their knees weakened, and one of them even peed her pants.

Its desiccated skin was pulled tautly over its bones, making it gaunt to the point of emaciation. With its eyes pushed back far into its sockets, its ash gray, deathly complexion, and its bones pressing out against its skin.

Its eyes were sunken in and glowed red, and it had long limbs, teeth, and long, sharp claws.

A student screamed, "We're done for!" as he collapsed to the ground, as if there was no hope of their survival.

Due to the academy wanting them to use their individual survival skills rather than relying on devices to train them, they couldn't use any device to inform them, so they could only try and find them. Their Tritonic device's functions are suppressed aside from using it to record the information they gather and other things.

Suddenly a professor appeared to protect them.

The professor who came goes by the name Adika, and is a C-class professor. The fact that he had a shiny egg on his head was more noticeable than the suit he was wearing. It could reflect light from the sun, giving the impression that it was a mirror.

He was hiding in the shadows, protecting the students, when all of a sudden, he noticed some of the students vital signs disappeared on the device they were using to monitor them.

He was deeply contemplating the fact that a few students die in this circumstance, which is actually quite common, so he did not really take it seriously at first.

But then, as he was lost in thought, he felt a strong pressure coming from a certain direction, prompting him to investigate.

Anyway, that's how he showed up here. He approached the students and turned on the Tritonic functions back before sternly warning them, "Hey students, hurry up and turn on the emergency signal in your devices, and retreat back as quickly as you can! I won't be able to hold this beast."

"I won't be able to hold off a Tier 1 Wendigo, I'm afraid. Worse, I could die at any moment. Hurry up! I have no idea why it showed up here."

The moment they heard his words, the students faces turned horrified; however, they soon became composed and began to withdraw.

This creature is actually about as strong as a Great Magister and a Heavenly Swordsman.

You would need to have at least the rank of a Royal Swordsman or a Magister in order to be a professor at the academy. This Adika was one of the lowest ranking professors in the academy but he was still a Royal Swordsman.

Like a predator watching its prey struggle before devouring them, the Wendigo found that it was entertaining to watch the scene in front of it.

It moved with lightning speed and charged at the students who were fleeing, but to its surprise, Adika blocked it just as it was about to kill those students. But he was unable to withstand the force of the attack and was sent back half a mile, destroying the surroundings and paths he was sent to.

Finally, he stopped, and with a loud 'bang' his body was fixed onto a huge ancient tree, and his bones broke from the impact.

The students were also caught in the attack by the beasts and were reduced to a bunch of corpses. They simply could not withstand the pressure of its attack.

'KREKRAKRAKA' the beast's divilish laugh, as it killed them ruthlessly.

Adika vomited a mouthful of blood from his mouth. Other than his bones getting broken, his internal organs were also messed up.

'AHHHHHHH'.

When the Wendigo appeared in front of him again, it reached out its hands, grabbing him by the neck, lifted him into the air, and then reached out with its other hand to rip Adika's heart from his body by penetrating it. He screamed in pain until he died, leaving splatters of blood all over the ground.

This beast is too ruthless, killing him without even giving him a chance to fight back.

The heart that it grabbed out of Adika's chest was devoured by it, and it started slowly gobbling his body parts like it was a delicacy. Blood dripped from its mouth as it ate his body, and an unclear expression appeared on its distorted face that looked like a menacing grin, which shows that it was satisfied with this Royal Swordsmans corpse.

After detecting a few strong auras approaching its location, the wendigo vanished from sight.

The emergency signal sent out by the retreating students who ended up dying was received by the other three professors. So they started moving in the direction where the signal was sent out.

They arrived on the scene and carefully examined the surroundings. The entire two-mile radius around this place was destroyed, leaving no trace of what had occurred here.

Previously, there were four professors, but after one of them passed away, only three remained.

Usually, four professors in Magister and Royal Swordsman rank were enough for the Twilight Zone expedition, so the academy did not send more than that.

One of them exclaimed, "What in the world just happened?! Everything is destroyed!"

Hawkin replied, also confused, "It looks like we have to cancel this exphidition. Inform all students that this expedition will be cancelled."

"Start informing the academy also to send back up. This incident seems to be serious."

"Ok!" a professor said, turning and leaving to where all the ships were stationed to inform the academy.
