Chapter 831: No Life King
[Silhouette] was a more advanced form of [Marionette].
The latter was an Exclusive Skill that Justin had prior to his evolution. It allowed him to manipulate threads made of Mana, utilizing them for a variety of purposes.
However, as [Silhouette], the skill's nature slightly changed.
[Marionette] could be used to control objects by attaching the threads to them, but [Silhoutte] went deeper than that.
It could control Mana itself.
The dark threads were connected to everything around Justin, allowing him to control the Mana in the air, or the Mana of his enemies. Most of these threads were so thin that they were practically invisible, and the dark ones that could be seen were an amalgamation of hundreds, if not thousands of threads.
Thanks to this ability, Justin could rip apart a Spell or attack directed at him—not that he would normally need to-by simply attaching his threads to them and then controlling it. Of course, this all depended on the scale and intensity of the Spell being directed at him.
However, considering the fact that [Silhouette] was an S-Tier Skill... there were only a few things that could cause him trouble.
Kar'eena's Spell wasn't one of them.
****************
Pure silence filled the entire space as the massive Dragon corpse fell to the ground.
The heavy thud created a bit of noise, but everything went still immediately after. As her decapitated head lay a small distance from the rest of her body, and the thick blood oozed out, no one said a word.
The terrified students watched all of this in silence.
They were too stunned to speak. Their Instructor-one of the strongest people they had ever met in their whole life-was so easily killed by a human.
Not even taking into account the absurdity of the situation, the consequence alone was enough to make them all shiver.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Kar'eena was the only reason they were alive, and with her death... came their own assured demise.
'We're going to die...' They began to think.
One after the other, the sentiment began to ring in the head of everyone who watched the swift execution take place.
'We're all going to die! We're going to-!'
"YESSSSS!!!" A loud cry echoed from Justin as he raised his fist into the air, displaying excitement which ran in direct contrast to the despair being shown by the students.
"I did it! I finally got a Class Upgrade!"
There was no way these Dragons could have known this, but the whole reason Justin wanted to fight Kar'eena was because she had turned into a Dragon General.
And the only reason he was interested in a General was because of this upgrade.
Despite his increasing power, as well as his near invincible body, he had been shackled so much by his A-Tier Class.
'No more...!' Justin grinned as he looked at the System Notification before him.
[Congratulations! You Have Advanced To A New Class]
Before they could move from their respective positions, though-
-B00000000000000000000000000000000MMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!~
Two surges of white electricity descended from above in heavenly judgment, landing
perfectly on the two who stood there.
Pained screams echoed out of their lungs, and that same instant, Justin completely blacked
out while Belle clung to her consciousness.
"Oh? Looks like we have rather durable ones here..." A surprised voice came forth, just as soon
as the noise of the lightning receded.
"Indeed." Another voice, this time calm, responded.
Two Dragons-both of them Generals-suddenly appeared in the sky as they watched the entire scene with surprised and calm expressions respectively.
They were dressed in pure white, with designs of light blue and hints of gold on their attires. Their styles were different, but it was clear that the two Generals were donning some kind of
uniform.
"No matter... they won't be able to hold out for too long now that reinforcements are here." The calm one spoke again, his gaze resting on the crater where Belle was now holding the
unconscious Justin.
It was clear at that moment that the tide of battle had completely changed. Every student's eyes brightened up the moment they laid eyes on their savor, instantly
forgetting the despair they experienced after the death of their Instructor.
The reason for their relief wasn't merely because more Dragons had shown up.
It wasn't even because they were Dragon Generals.
A single look at the glowing insignia branded on the chest pockets of their uniform, and their
easily recognizable faces told every single student watching what they needed to know.
Why?
Well... these were the esteemed members of the strongest Squad of the Dragon Empire.
-The First Squad of the Frost Dragon Lord.
