Chapter 756 A Plan From Afar

Chapter 756 A Plan From Afar

The mother spider felt a shiver run down her spine as Arad stared at her with a sad face, his head tilted to the side as he slowly lifted his hands. "It's a mixture of four poisons, a nerve one, a muscle one, a blood one, and a hallucinogenic one that causes illusions." He started explaining how her poison worked as his skin started healing.

"The nerve poison disrupts the signals from the brain to the organs, causing them to shut down. The muscle poison starts digesting the flesh, causing paralysis and muscle spasms. The blood poison destroys it and causes it to turn into a red sludge swimming in a yellow liquid, this is bad as it can no longer carry air and nutrients to the body, leading to an even faster death. The hallucinogenic causes illusions and hallucinations, the victim won't even know they are dying." Arad took a step forward, "How sad, the only thing interesting about it is that I need to know how much of each poison type I ingested to create different dosages of antidote to deal with it."

Right in front of the mother spider's eyes, Arad healed from her poison and threw an antidote potion that he just made toward Aella, "Use this on Selina. I doubt she's in danger with the antidote you had on you, but this is more custom-made."

"Wait! Wait! I still have more." She cried, taking a few steps away from Arad. She knew he'd catch her even if she tried to run away.

STAB! At that moment, blood splashed everywhere, and Arad slowly turned.

Lucia looked down, seeing a silver sword poking out of her chest. "What's the meaning of this?" She gasped. Latest novels at novelhall.com

"I always hated your ass. If you just didn't butt in and teach him earth magic." Sylvany said with a smile.

BAM! Arad lunged at them, but a blinding light quickly engulfed the whole room. Aella fell headfirst up in the forest, and so did Selina and the bleeding Lucia at her sides. "What happened?!" She cried.

"Sylvany is behind this. That's the only explanation..." Lucia growled, with blood gushing out of her mouth as she quickly lost consciousness. The stab has cut a massive artery above her heart.

Aella pulled a healing potion and shoved it down her throat. "You wait here. I need to help Arad." She stood and stared at the ground. But she quickly noticed something, a double-sided barrier locking the dungeon.

"It's locked?!" She gasped.

Thud! She heard a faint sound behind her. She turned and saw those two glowing blue eyes standing behind her. Gojo smiled. "They locked the dungeon so no one can enter, so I locked it so nothing can get out."

"Arad is still stuck with them." She cried.

"Come on, you know they are stuck in with him." Gojo looked at the ground. "Good luck escaping."

Sylvany and the mother spider were busy dealing with Arad inside the dungeon, thinking he was the only threat. But they couldn't even begin to guess that an even bigger monster was lurking just outside. A being outside their realm of comprehension.

Tempo rushed in with a chest full of healing potions, Sylvany had also teleported all the trapped students outside. As all of the students were badly poisoned, he had wished Arad and the university would focus on saving them, and give up on retrieving Ganta and Matilda.

"What did you do?!" The mother spider cried.

Sylvany sighed, looking at the unconscious Ganta and Matilda in the back. "Saved your ass. You were supposed to finish everyone else, capture those two, and leave."

"No! You fool, what did you just do?!"

"I teleported everyone outside beside us and them. And locked the dungeon shut so they can't come back in." He pointed at Ganta and Matilda.

"NO! You don't understand. That monster you brought can't be..." She cried, and Arad could be seen standing at the room's entrance.

"For real?!" Sylvany gasped.

"For real! Real!" Arad said with a smile. "I knew you smelt fishy, never talked about feet once even though you have those long ears."

"I'm a half-elf, not an elf."

"And you were unmotivated as hell. Lucia and I were trying to get us out of the hole, and you just wanted to wait and wait like a chicken sitting over its eggs." Arad took a step forward. "Elves are proud. They would try to stand out even. It seems you wanted me and Lucia to remain locked down in that hole with you until this bug finished her work."

Sylvany pulled a wand to use alongside his sword. "Even if he's that strong, together we can beat him."

"But that dragon, you said he's a void dragon. The real deal." The spider replied.

"Yeah, strong aren't they? Do you understand why I wanted the body of one." The witch smiled.

"Then can't you catch him?" The spider asked.

"Catch him? He blasted an S-rank dungeon with a single breath, there wasn't any cage out there that could keep him chained. I probably have better changed to beg him to be my test subject than to try catching him." She stood and walked toward the counter. "Let's plan again, we must catch those two girls."

"And without the dragon noticing as he'll stomp our plans in the blink of an eye." The spider looked with the witch at the papers they already had laid on the table.

"I need a new guise now. Preferably a hot young man..." The witch smiled.

"Just pick a woman, you'll have an easier time moving in such a body. And you'll be able to pull even more power." The spider growled at her.

"But that's boring..." The witch sighed, "Well, I'll do it if you come with me this time."

"Why would I want to do that?" The spider turned around.

"Don't you want to mess with that dragon? I doubt he'll harm a student or a teacher without being provoked." The witch smiled.

"Hmmmm." The spider considered the offer.

*****

Literally the next morning.

In Aella's class.

"Due to Sylvany's disappearance, this is your new teacher." A teacher walked in followed by a large-breasted, black-haired dark elf with golden eyes.

"My name is Maria Ringbell. I was a private teacher in the dark elf capital until a month ago, from today, I'll be your herbalist teacher." She said with a smile, and all the guys in the room started screaming their lungs out.

"A new teacher this quickly..." Ganta sighed.

"This is the best university in the continent, they won't let us stay without a teacher." Aella replied to her. Thanks to the faith class, everyone seems to have recovered quickly.

Maria stared at them with a smile. "Aella, Ganta. Stand in the back of the room for speaking in class." She said with a smile.

"Heh?!" Aella and Ganta gasped. "Not fair! Everyone was screaming."

"You'll stand for longer." Maria looked at them with a smile. ^How dare you be married to my void dragon. I've spent decades looking for them, and to think a little girl like you married one and I'm here with nothing...^ The witch was mad.

In Arad's class, Lucia walked a new girl into the room.

"She sadly wasn't able to make it into the entrance exam due to a snowstorm that blocked the path from the north, but as that wasn't in her hand, the university gave her a second test and she managed to pass it." Lucia looked at the class.

"Please treat her well."

Half the class started complaining, and most of the students made a lot of sacrifices to make sure they didn't miss the entrance exam. Now, it felt unfair that someone who missed them got a pass.

Arad looked at the new girl, inspecting her. She was almost as tall as Aella with short black hair, pale skin, green baggy eyes as if she hadn't slept in days[probably due to the stress of missing the test], a face full of freckles, and a decent build. Unlike most of the students, she wore a pair of enchanted silver earrings and painted her long and sharp nails black.

Her eyes met Arad's.
