Mist reached out, her fingers grasping at nothing but air. The rage in her eyes was unmistakable to everyone who saw her. Her roar echoed through the entire arena and reverberated across the continent, her aura shooting straight into the sky.
The people across the continent felt as though a monster had descended from the heavens. Even the leaders of the nations in the Western Continent felt the suffocating sensation.
The professors around Mist remained silent, well aware of the danger in provoking her wrath at a time like this. They watched her leave, disappearing into the unknown, seemingly to find her daughter.
Even after Mist left, the people did not feel relieved. The entire day had been overwhelming. First, someone with the abilities of the first hero had appeared. Then, the Devourer had shown up, and now Mist's daughter had been kidnapped?
They could only imagine the consequences if Sera were harmed. Furthermore, if news spread that Mist's daughter was kidnapped right before her eyes, she might even become a laughingstock in the other continents.
They knew that they couldn't let this news spread out. The Professors were never going to leak this news but the same couldn't be said about the students who saw everything.
"Take them to her. Let her erase their memories of the last few hours," one of the Senior Professors said, sighing. "The exams will be delayed for now."
"She can remove most of their memories but what are we going to do about him? Doesn't he have Magic Nullification?" Another Professor chimed in, casting a glance at Eldric who was the only person that was completely unaffected by everything that happened.
Even the Professors were covered in cold sweat, their face pale with the constant pressure of an Overlord that they could still feel. Eldric, on the other hand, couldn't even feel it.
Many of the Professors even felt jealous of his Magic Nullification.
"Leave him be. I doubt he will fail the exams in any case. He will be staying at the academy. I'll personally make sure he understands," the Senior Professor said while jumping down to the ground floor.
Normally, in this situation, the Vice Dean should have taken control of the situation. However, recently everyone found out that the Vice Dean had been long dead.
The position was completely vacant so many people wondered who was going to take that position. It all depended on how they performed at a time like this.
'Did he say his name was Devourer?' Eldric thought, looking at a small ball made from paper.
No one saw it but just before he disappeared, he tossed this ball of paper towards him. At first, he even though it was an attack but he was able to easily catch it. There was nothing special in it.
He had to raise his head a little to look at Sera who was lying there with her eyes closed, unmoving.
Looking at her like that, he wondered if she was actually fine or not. When even he was in such a mess with this chaotic mode of travel, it made sense for her to not be fine.
Still, he really hoped that she hadn't just died. Mist was going to be really furious if that happened.
He placed his ear over her chest as he was already in the perfect position for that.
"It's beating. She is alive." He sighed in relief as he pushed his body up. "She really scared me. Then again, it's good that she didn't see it. She really must have misunderstood me."
He moved away from her body, scratching the back of his head.
As long as Sera was alive, it was fine. Although he had infuriated Mist, he really didn't want to imagine what that monster might be like if she actually lost her daughter forever.
If anything, he was already planning to return Sera a few days later when everything in the Sect had settled.
He looked down at Sera, wondering if he should wake her up. If anything, it was much easier to keep her asleep. He was sure she was going to do something stupid if she woke up.
"I suppose I should keep her in the Spirit Realm where she will be safe. But I can't let her see the Spirits involvement. For that reason, please sleep for three more days," he said, bringing out a pill that could put a person to sleep for three days without causing any adverse effects.
If anything, the pill was only going to improve their body, strengthening it even more. As he was using her, he thought he should give her some benefits as well so he didn't owe her anything.
Bringing out the pill, he stepped forward. He went down on his knees next to her, opening her lips.
"What are you doing to that girl?! You bastard, release her!"
Before Eren could place the pill in Sera's mouth, a voice came from the distance, belonging to a man.
"It has nothing to do with you," Eren said, slowly looking back towards the source of that voice, only to be shocked as he saw the person.
'The fck? How is it him? Does that mean I am in...'
