Chapter 322 Another One



Charles and the Thunder Emperor watched as Jean's body shattered into glass, falling to the ground.

"What?!"

They gasped in shock, realizing that it was a trap. They knew that no human dies like that! It must be a Spell or Technique that they weren't aware of.

"Where?!"

Charles grunted as he knew that Jean was still alive and hiding somewhere. They looked around, trying to find him as they spread out their Magic Zone to sense any fluctuation of energy around them.

Then, they sensed his dark energy, but they couldn't accurately pinpoint his location.

Headmaster Jean was using a Dark Spell to conceal himself, and most likely, he was waiting for the right moment to strike.

'If you're going to play like this, then so be it!'

The two decided to stick together and cover each other's backs. They already knew that Jean was more powerful than them and that they had to work as a team to defeat him.

Of course, they had to act fast before Jean could recover from their previous attacks.

Whoosh~

They cast their spells, hoping to hit him by chance.

Charles released his Night Blade, a spell that could manifest a blade of darkness to slash the target.

On the other hand, Thunder Emperor used his Fire Wave to sweep the area. Well, this is also the only spell that he got that he could cast in just a second or two.

Boom!

Their spells clashed in the air, creating sparks and smoke. They hoped that their combined attack would be enough to break Jean's defense and reveal his position in the process.

But they were wrong. Jean was not affected by their attack!

They didn't see one figure but six figures from the shadows.

"Clones?!" Thunder Emperor gritted his teeth as he wasn't good at these illusion-type spells.

"No, they're Shadow Soldiers..." Charles said as he gripped his cane tightly and was prepared to shatter the Shadow Soldiers with his spell.

Although there were five clones and one real Jean Hoffman, he didn't plan on attacking them one by one but to destroy them all simultaneously!

Charles waved his cane and released his Cane's Gloom Force Spell, aiming to hit all the six figures rushing at them... However, as he did this, he felt the air on his left side move!

"Y-you!"

Jean emerged from the shadows beside Charles and the Thunder Emperor. The six figures were all Shadow Soldiers!

The real Jean had only appeared now!

Jean smiled wickedly and spoke with a soft voice.

"Too late. You've lost."

He raised his hand and cast Eternal Doom! It is a dark spell that could create a void that destroys everything in its range.

Charles and the Thunder Emperor felt a surge of fear as they saw the eerie darkness looming over them. They realized that they had no escape. This spell wasn't just Light Absorption or Darkness Manipulation. This spell could really kill them if they entered this void!

Realizing that they couldn't flee, they faced the Spell and shouted.I think you should take a look at

"Let's die together!" Charles shouted as he cast a Tier 2 Spell, Dark Nova!

"I won't die with you two!"

Thunder Emperor roared as he cast a quick Lightning Strike/

Their spells collided with Jean's Eternal Doom Spell, creating a massive explosion of light and darkness. The hall shook violently as the blast rocked the foundation of the building.

The fate of the three magicians was unknown.

***

Vale had been watching the battle from the Library, using his Phantasm State and Spirit Vision to project his vision outside. He had seen the fierce fight between the three Arcanists, who had used various spells and techniques.

He had seen the twists and turns of the battle and the final explosion that had engulfed them. He didn't miss a thing in that fight, as he realized that the Headmaster was truly unfathomable.

It wasn't that surprising that he managed to replace Charles Blackwood as the Headmaster.

Unfortunately, the last explosion activated the Library's final defense, which forcefully blocked his Magic Zone from reaching outside the Library.

He didn't know how the fight ended.

"Hmm?" Vale raised his brows as he realized that Lisa was clinging to him. He didn't notice this till now since he was too focused on observing the battle outside.

He had to fully concentrate just to follow the movement of the three high-level Arcanists so he was quite defenseless just now.

Of course, he didn't call her out as she seemed afraid after the building started shaking. Furthermore, it was followed by the Formation Arts activating to its full capacity, so she probably thought that the Academy was in a dire situation.

It must be scary for her, considering she had no idea what was happening outside.

Vale helplessly smiled at this as he let Lisa cling to his arm.

'Oh... The door is opening...' Vale thought as he felt the gears of the door start moving...

Everyone inside the Library also noticed the changes as they nervously looked at the door.

ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Soon, a familiar figure appeared with the usual smile on his face.

They all sighed in relief after realizing it was their Headmaster.

"We've settled the infiltrators inside the Academy... However, you guys can't leave yet as the Masked Devil must still be inside the Academy." Headmaster Jean said as he held the Thunder Emperor's Staff while looking at Vale with a wide smile on his face.

Vale had a stiff smile as he bowed slightly to the Headmaster.

Jean was about to say something, but suddenly, his smile vanished as he looked behind him. To be exact, he was looking outside the Academy.

"He's finally here..." He muttered.

Vale was curious about his words, so he also spread his Magic Zone to the limit.

To his surprise, he saw a familiar person facing off against Isaac Vermont!

It was Sherman, an Elite Bounty Hunter who almost killed him that time when he was escaping with Philip!

"Don't leave this room... I need to help a friend outside." Headmaster Jean said as he closed the door once again before disappearing to help Isaac deal with Sherman!
