{Space Wrap}
The space around me twisted with an unbalanced intensity as I arrived at my destination.
Standing at the top of a burned-down building at the corner of the center of the city, I looked around me.
The scene in front of me unfolded as I observed the destruction that was happening.
Geilna and Sophia were facing a masked guy, and they were slowly overpowered him.
"How much time left before the second explosion, Edda?"
[5 minutes, give or take.]
’They should be able to handle him in this much time, right?’
I thought as I noticed that even in a two versus one situation, the guy was holding his ground quite well.
Well, it’s not that surprising, as both Geilna and Sophia are mages, while he is a knight; all he needs to do is avoid getting hit by the bombardment of spells.
I took out a bow form the inventory and knocked an arrow in it, coating it with star energy. I aimed it at the masked guy.
_Swish_
With a quick speed that ignored logic and space, the arrow quickly got stuck inside his shoulders.
"Argh!" His scream was so loud that I could hear him from here, and the surprise look on the teachers’ faces didn’t last long as they quickly took advantage of the situation.
"That should do it."
Observing them for a while, I shifted my attention towards the rest of the students.
Most of them were having a hard time facing the assailants, but due to the larger number, they were still having the upper hand.
while some were noticeable for their skill in fighting.
Although there were some casualties among the students, most of them seemed to be safe.
Then, my gaze moved towards a particular group: Angelina, Aeloria, Grace, Emily, and Fatima. It was quite an unusual team - two [Main Heroines] two [Sub-Heroines], and one [Villainess].
Surprisingly, their teamwork was commendable.
’Her bloodline has awakened, huh?’ I thought as I observed the black flames covering Grace’s entire being.
Her bloodline appeared to be a double-edged sword, capable of consuming her if things went out of hand.
’I need to do something about that,’ I pondered, turning my attention towards Emily.
’How the heck did she get this stronger?’
I pondered, furrowing my brows as I watched her fight.
I knew she had talent for hand-to-hand combat, but that was supposed to blossom later in the story. Right now, she shouldn’t be at this level of proficiency in combat.
Did her story also change?
I bit my lip lightly as I thought about it. I never made contact with her or her mother, so how could her story have changed?
’Now that I think about it, she did mention once that I looked like someone from her childhood.’
I stopped thinking about it; maybe the best thing to do would be to ask about this directly.
Then I shifted my gaze towards Aeloria.
’And where the hell did the gentle Sprite go?’ I couldn’t help but think about it.
In the game, Aeloria wasn’t good in combat; her main strength was buffs and enhancements with the help of spirit.
’Let’s stay with them for a while,’ I thought as I took quick steps towards them.
"Eden!"
As soon as I arrived in their viewing zone, Emily was the first one to greet me.
I waved at her as I arrived in front of them, ignoring the chaos that was happening around me.
Now that I think about it, most of them are quite abnormal.
Even after death is happening here and there, they were still able to be mentally strong.
’Well, we will know about that after their adrenaline rush ends.’
"You guys are doing well, aren’t you?" I said as I lightly arrived in front of them.
"And are you going to come out or not?"
I said as I looked towards a certain direction.
"Huh?" A strange voice came out of nowhere, and before he could understand, I quickly jumped at him and swung my sword horizontally.
"Argh."
An leg fell off on the ground from seemingly nowhere.
"Argh... How?" He let out a confused voice as he looked at me. "How did you notice?"
Ignoring his words, I quickly swung my sword while covering it with Aura, attacking his abdomen.
He tried to dodge the attack but was a step too late as my sword cut his stomach open.
’Why is he so weak?’ I thought as I looked at his dying body.
He should be around Sophia’s level, and even then, he died with a surprise attack.
’’Why is he so weak?’ I thought as I looked at his dying body.
He should be around Sophia’s level, and even then, he died with a surprise attack.
’Now is not the time.’ Quickly shifting my gaze, I looked towards Sophia and Geilna.
And as I expected, they were about to subdue the guy.
"Fall back!" But as if waiting for this moment, he ordered, and all the assailants quickly started to run away, including the leader himself.
"What’s going on.." I heard Sophia’s startled voice as she tried to intervene in their retreat, but I quickly ran towards her to stop her.
"Wait! There is another bomb in that which is about to explode." I said as I blocked her way and pointed towards the first king big statue.
"How do you—"
"We can do that later, Sophia. Tell the students to move away from here!"
Before she could inquire more, I cut her off and gave orders.
"ALL STUDENTS, RUN TOWARDS THE TELEPORTATION BUILDING!"
Thankfully, she didn’t ask any more questions as she ordered the students to move, and they didn’t take much time as they listened to her and started to run away.
’That should do it.’ I thought as I looked at them running away.
But in the crowd of all the students, one stood still.
Her blood-red eyes looked at me as she waited for me to come towards her.
*BOOOOOM!*
I looked at Grace with a small smile, and just like that, the ground beneath us crumbled, and another explosion occurred turning the city up side down.
