Chapter 802 Splitting Off
Tempo jumped into the cavern and landed beside Arad now that the barrier had fallen. He glared at the abomination with a passive face, "So this is the monster we've been hearing about?"
"You aren't a fire titan, are you? You're a mixed blood of earth and fire." The abomination smiled.
As Tempo inspected the abomination with his eyes, he could feel a sharp shift in magic, the being standing before them wasn't something that should exist. Tempo could feel the air cracking around them by just looking at the monster as if the world didn't want that thing to be standing there.
"The name Tempo, a volcanic Titan, what are you?"
"I don't have a name. Our lord Nyar never had time to name me before I got sealed here. But I'm an abomination, a being of the outer world."
"That means you shouldn't be standing here." Tempo pulled his sword, "Is there a way to send you back to the outer world? I'd rather have a peaceful end to this."
"You're a na?ve one, aren't you?" The abomination took one step forward and suddenly disappeared, landing a fist at Tempo's guts. But Tempo didn't budge; he instead looked forward with a surprised gasp.
"As I expected." The abomination smiled, "You're the problem here." His eyes shifted toward Arad who had caught the punch before it hit Tempo's stomach.
"I'm not letting you kill anyone, monster. I've already faced abominations before, and I know for a fact you must be killed on sight."
"Like I would..." The abomination head's upper half disappeared, and Betty appeared standing behind him with a blade of light in her hand, "I've sensed a massive wave of magic, to think a bug like you appeared."
"The speed of light?" The abomination spoke despite the injury, "And a damned Halfling, what a pain." He sighed, remembering the magic goddess Yog; she was a half-Halfling half-elf which terrorized the abominations, using them as her lab rats.
The abomination's head regenerated in the blink of an eye. "It seems. I'm not getting out of here without a fight. I would rather recover after finally getting free,"
CLAP! CLAP! He clapped his hands, "Let's the blood bath start."

Back in the university, Lucia was sitting inside Betty's office with several other teachers inspecting the area for magic as per Betty's orders. Once she sensed the abomination, she put the whole university on high alert and flew to eliminate the threat.
"An unidentified magic source of over S-class monsters has appeared within the university's perimeter! Send all the teachers to eliminate it before the students are hurt."
Just before the teachers could fly out, Lucia cried again with a terrified face. "Wait! Another signal showed up..." She was sweating, "It....that can't be..."
He looked back, barely managing to shield his neck before Merida's second swing.
^This feeling, that she's an absolute demon, a creature born of the abyss's will of destruction and death. Just like him, the god slayer Kayden, to think a second monster like him was born in the past thousand years.^
He lunged away, his eyes finally getting used to Merida's blinding speed. ^But, she is nowhere as mature or strong as him. If he was the one I was facing, I would've already died without him needing to drag me here. She is a threat, I must eliminate her and prevent her from growing any stronger.^

Maria Ringbell, the witch pretending to be a teacher at the university ran across the hallways, sending a message to Anansi, the mother spider. ^Don't fight any of the intruders, you'll die. Stay still like the other students until the fight ends.^
^Got it, but don't you dare die and ruin the plan.^
Maria stopped, ^I have to cut out. I found one.^ She was sweating as she stared, another clone of the abomination stood before her.
"A dark elf woman? No, you don't feel like one, I don't sense that dancer's blood in you." He lifted a finger; his nail grew into a spike and flew forward, piercing her shoulder.
She gasped. ^This bastard, what did he do? That was too fast to see, did he cast a spell, no, that wasn't it, I couldn't see mana moving.^
The abomination laughed, "Now this is fun! To think someone like you is here, are you trying to plan something bad? I'm certain you could use an evil being to sponsor your endeavor." He could tell she was a witch disguising herself, as a being of his level of existence, he couldn't tell the difference between people's faces but could identify them by magic with a glance.
But, the abomination wasn't the only monster around, and Maria wasn't the only being hiding her identity and power. A hand landed on Maria's shoulder, "Your polymorph is about to fade, fix it before you get exposed." Gojo walked past her, his eyes glowing blue as a smile filled his face.
"I don't care who you are, but it won't be fun if you get exposed before it's time, won't it."
"What are you? Your magic is weird." The abomination mumbled, tilting his head as he looked at Gojo, unable to determine what he was.
Maria looked at Gojo's back, the mana flinching in front of her eyes. ^That's Aron's older brother, and Aron is a void dragon. Don't tell me...he's an even older void dragon?^ Now that thought crossed her mind, she noticed that he was indeed covering his true nature alongside enough magic to make her puke at the spot.
The abomination giggled, "Humans are indeed too weak. She can't even stand long in my aura before puking and dying...
how pathetic."
Maria looked at the abomination with a pained face, ^You're wrong, I can handle your magic all day long, it's this bastard's magic that's too disgustingly twisted.^
"You asked who I am." Gojo smiled, "I'm nothing, I'm your death.^
