The students watched as their Instructor was held back by the three magic beasts. She was even forced to use a potion to elevate her power and they know that such a potion has severe side effects. If they still don't realize the severity of the situation, they would be fools
Rezen was among these students and his eyes suddenly squinted as he threw a small vial of potion as fast as he could
This potion slammed against a fox-type magic beast and the glass immediately shattered causing its content to land on that fox's body
"Hiss!"
The fox immediately hissed and it stopped on its tracks. Its body shuddered before it violently opened its mouth to puke out a mouthful of black blood. It staggered on its feet as its vision turned hazy. Surely, it wouldn't be long before it will lose its consciousness
Seeing that, Rezen heaved a momentary sigh of relief but his face soon became grim. That magic beast might not be as strong as Senior Rank entities but it was still at the peak of the Junior Rank!
None of the students here have reached that rank and even Rezen is powerless against such an enemy. Only by relying on magical items will he be able to defeat or kill such a powerful opponent
However, while Rezen was able to take care of one such magic beast using the poison he concocted using the strange moss that grew while absorbing contaminated stones from the Krome Underground there are many more such magic beasts
It was fortunate that his farm was upgraded until it has the ability to grow Spirit Plants at the 9th cycle of the Junior Rank. If not and the Strange Moss that Rezen used is a level lower, the effect might not be this good. That magic beast might have been able to harm him before it was rendered immobile
Even a single attack from such an entity is fatal to a mage at Rezen's level and he definitely cannot afford to suffer even a single attack
The gymnasium now looks like a den of magic beasts and more and more students are dying
"Should I use more poison? But it could expose me" Rezen contemplated. Fortunately, although the situation is dangerous, as long as Rezen is willing to show his trump card, it shouldn't be enough to kill him
"Quick! Come here!" A woman's voice entered Rezen's ears and he immediately went to the source to see Porenz tearing a magic scroll
As soon as the magic scroll was torn, the ground in front of her immediately softened, trapping the magic beasts that were chasing them
After seeing that, Rezen's eyes lit up. Right! How can he forget about this? He has a rich 'friend'
Porenz came from an influential family inside the Outer Walls. She should have life-saving treasures and now is the time to use them
That magic scroll alone gave Rezen and the other nearby students a breather. If the situation had developed naturally, they might have been dead by now. Fortunately, the magic beasts are delayed and it is not only Porenz who uses such precious magic scroll
If there is only one, two, or three of them then that is not a problem. However, what if there are tens or even hundreds of them?
The attack from these magic beasts forces Rezen's ground to move around to dodge but there were too many of such attacks for them to have a dodge rate of 100%
As a result, the wolf they were riding on was hit by some of the attacks. Since the wolves are not real lifeforms, they didn't shed blood nor were they injured. However, this affected their speed. In fact, they even started turning translucent as if they would dissipate soon
The wolves should last for quite some time but since they were hit by magic, their duration and speed have suffered greatly
"When will the other Instructors arrive?" Theon questioned with fear on his face
Since this is inside the academy, the Instructors should be coming soon. However, in this kind of battle, even just a minute is a long time
Mages and magic beasts have already broken the limits of normal lifeforms. Even a hundred meters can be traversed almost instantly. A lot of things can happen even in just a minute of time!
Even if the Instructors arrive here in five minutes, who amongst the students can be a hundred percent confident that they can survive?
Even if the Instructors already arrived, are they the ones that will be saved by the Instructors first?
Rezen and the others watch as more and more of their batchmates are dying, their blood and flesh dirtying the ground
These people were completely alive and well just moments ago but now, they are as dead as they can be. Their bright futures were mercilessly severed by the magic beasts
Even Rezen's group only managed to survive now all because of the magic scrolls that they used
"Damn these magic beasts!!" Porenz cursed. Her eyes turned bloodshot after seeing the deaths of her classmates. While she is always a free person that does whatever she wants it doesn't mean that she is emotionless. She naturally would feel something after seeing the deaths of her classmates
Unfortunately, she cannot take revenge for them as even now, their own survival is still unknown
Fortunately, being rich has its perks as Porenz used another magic scroll and she gave a warning before she activated it
"Close your eyes!" She shouted as she threw the magic scroll behind that was immediately activated
Rezen and the others did as they were told and they hurriedly closed their eyes to brace for the effect of that magic scroll that Porenz just used
