Chapter 75 74. A Couple’s Fight!

The next moment Shane opened his eyes was when he returned to the open ground, lying under the wide sky without anyone around. Not a single soul, not even Echo was there except for the students standing there in silence.

It seemed as if the exam just now affected everyone's mental and emotional statuses. Shane sighed and covered up his face. He knew that he would fail this mission, but he didn't think he would fail so miserably.

Just who was that demon?

That person seemed powerful enough to stop him from appearing. If he could control the body of that girl, he wouldn't have failed.

That's right. He never got a chance.

But despite thinking like this, Shane knew that he desperately lacked when it comes to power. He only had one spell and one power-sucking technique to deal with the monsters.

He had smugly thought that he could defeat anyone as long as he attacked with the energy balls. Even if he couldn't use energy balls, he could deal with the demons using his power-sucking ability.

But this exam opened his eyes wide.

So what if he had unlimited cosmic energy? He still couldn't defeat that demon.

Shane sighed as he pushed himself off the ground. He glanced around, but he couldn't find either Frank or Tess. His brows raised at that.

They still weren't out?

Just as he was thinking about whether he should approach Echo, a familiar robot with his master towing behind walked out of the building. The bald man still looked cold as ever, glancing around without any expression on his face. Only when he saw Shane, he paused for a bit before nodding as if nothing happened.

After reaching the portal, he raised his head and said, "There has been a mishap inside. As you had all seen, killing the last demon was particularly impossible because he wasn't supposed to enter this portal at all."

For some reason, Shane could detect a mocking tone in Ed's words. He frowned. It seemed his master knew more things about this situation than he had expected.

He continued to hear the man's words without opening his mouth.

"Echo didn't do her job properly," Ed said with a deadpan expression on his face, "I was ordered to replace her while she was sent to the detention center for letting someone hack the server without any hindrance."

He glanced around and said, "Two people are still inside," he turned toward his robot sideways, "Do something about it."

"On it," said Dirt as he opened his menu. He tapped something on it before raising his head, "I can't get them out in an ongoing job. They're still fighting one another."

"Fight?" Shane spoke all of a sudden as he looked at the robot in surprise, "What're you talking about?"

"You heard me right," Dirt opened a shared window of a livestream and showed it to everyone else, "Take a look. Their hosts are fighting one another."

Shane was surprised. He knew that it was basically impossible to know who the other system was unless they texted you. So it should be that both Tess and Frank probably have no idea that they were fighting one another.

At this time, Tess, who was inside her host's mind, couldn't help but be angry. Her goal was to kill the destroyers, and her luck was so bad that she ended up finding only one enemy who was strong enough to fight shoulder to shoulder with equal strength.

They were fighting with normal swords at present as their hosts clashed with one another. It seemed even the hosts knew one another as they clashed.

"You will never win!" A woman with specks uttered those words as she clashed with the other person dressed in black. The man's hair was pushed back with gel, looking like a cold CEO.

The man looked coldly and spat, "You're a shameless woman! How can I be blind enough to fall for you? You're clearly a snake!"

Shane, who was watching all of these things, raised his brows. Even though he couldn't tell whose system was Tess, the coincidence that those two hosts also had an ambiguous relationship was too much.

He continued to glance at the scene.

The woman with specks shouted as she attacked the man. Tears brimming in her eyes, but she didn't back away, "I had loved you, and I still do! What changed is your perception toward me, you b*stard!"

"I changed?" The man attacked her again, "If you can just die peacefully, I'll be able to live. You're my wife. You're supposed to willingly give your life to me! Isn't this how a woman should do?!"

"You still don't understand, do you?" The woman chuckled and wiped her face. Her chuckle was filled with a lot of pain throbbing in her throat, "I wanted to do the same, but the moment you uttered those disgusting words, we fell apart, and I thought it was better to save myself rather than choose some piece of sh*t."

"You chose? No, I think you showed your true colors!" The man was extremely angry after hearing the woman as he clashed with her sword with more power, "You were always like this, little selfish witch!" He paused for a moment and said, "System, give me a boost! I'll end this right here!"

The woman looked at the man she had called her husband for a while and shed a tear before gripping the sword tightly in her fist, "System, I think we should use it."

Her system seemed to have said something as the woman shook her head and continued, "I didn't want to, but we should. This is the best solution."

As soon as she said that, a window appeared in front of her with a spell written in the center. It was a spell attack that cost her quite a lot, but she didn't back away because this was all the woman could do. She took a deep breath and uttered the spell under her breath and thrust her sword to the ground.

The ground cracked as fire sparked up from the sword and entered the ground.

It was clear that the woman's attribute was fire, making Shane realize that her system might be Tess. He narrowed his eyes as he stared at her.

Soon after this, the ground started boiling. Before the guy in black had a chance to use his spell, his eyes widened when the ground beneath his feet started trembling and boiling, "You…. Stop the spell!"

"I can't!" The woman whimpered in pain as she gripped the sword tightly. Then she let out a chuckle and looked at her husband with a trace of longing in her eyes, "Let's die together, Alan."

Just then, the ground blasted, creating a huge impact. The entire livestream also ended at the same time.

Soon after that, two bodies were thrown out of the portal, landing on the ground like what Shane had experienced. He immediately dashed toward the red-headed girl who whimpered.

This test was special because they all got to experience a taste of death. He knew his sister might be in a daze at the moment. He crouched and pulled the girl up, "Tess, are you alright?"

The girl blinked and moved as she glanced at the person holding her, ".....Shane?"

After staring at him, tears formed in her eyes. Drops continued to drip from the corner of her eyes, making her look pitiful. The two stayed like that for a moment until they heard another whimper from the side.

Shane glanced beside him to find Frank staring at Tess with a complicated expression on his face, "I was fighting you?"

Tess immediately got up on her feet and glared at the boy, "So the other damned system supporting a b*stard of a man was you. Hah!"

"No, I was just doing my job."

"Doing your job?" Tess's lips twitched as she leaned toward Frank, "More like you were supporting him! I never realized you were like that!"

"...." Frank stared at her for a while before getting up on his feet and walking away without saying a word.

Tess got even angrier at that. She didn't look like someone who was just crying her eyes out when her brother was holding her. Her entire face turned into that of a ruthless lady who couldn't wait to beat someone up.

Shane, who was left behind, silently got up on his feet and brushed off non-existent dust from his body, and walked over to Dirt, pretending as if nothing happened.

Ah, it was so embarrassing. He shouldn't have butted in his sister's matters. She was perfectly fine!

The red-haired girl kept running after a certain boy, who ran away from the girl.

Shane shook his head.

What he didn't know was that serious conservation was going on somewhere closer to this place. The demon who had dealt with the final blow while fighting with Shane was also the one who had killed Noah. He hid on the branch of a tree as he stared at the open ground and clicked his tongue, "That guy disappointed me."

Another person in a hood appeared behind him, "The boss said you should hide. Don't reveal yourself. Ed is standing right here."

That sentence seemed to have poked his critical nerve. The demon's face, which was not visible in the dark, twisted as a ruthless expression appeared in his dark, red eyes, "That damned bald man. I still have to do something about him. He has caused enough trouble for me for the past few years!"

"I've watched everything. You did a good job," the man in the hood spoke in a cold tone, "We have concluded that Shane is really not the king of darkness. He's just an unworthy little soul who happened to have this power. So our evaluation is to get back what belongs to us. For that, we still hope you will cooperate."

The man waved his hand, "Whatever. As long as you can give me what you want."

The demon said those words as he stared at a certain bald man with a twisted smile on his face, "I need that man's head fallen at my feet and my mercy. Do whatever you can for that. Get it?"

The hooded man sighed as his body flashed away, without leaving a single trace behind. The demon saw this and snickered. He also vanished from the branch without a trace.

At the same time, Ed, who was busy a moment ago watching his students making rukus, darted his glance at the tree, specifically the branch that was hiding the demon just now. The bald man's eyes narrowed as if he had just realized something, and the corners of his lips curved up, "Interesting. I didn't think he would come himself."
