Chapter 178: A Big Gift

Chapter 178: A Big Gift

By now, many other students and teachers had tried to approach this area once they realized that the attacker had left, and the threat passed.

Of course, some had run away farther to distance themselves, as they were still overwhelmed by an instinctual fear, but more were curious about what happened, and were driven here by that curiosity.

This was especially the case for the senior professors and the like, who believed they had the right to look into the situation and be briefed on the details.

Of course, they were all blocked by a thin, transparent film far away from the tower of solitude, and before long, the transparent film turned cloudy and opaque, obscuring both their vision and hearing.

Some of the senior professors were obviously a little dissatisfied. "What's going on? Is no one going to explain to us how we managed to anger someone who could shoot through all those barriers?"

"I think maybe we'll get an explanation later. The pillars must still be dealing with the situation"

The situation inside the barrier remained unperturbed regardless of their discussion, and Evelyn continued to look at Aurora with a slightly teary and imploring gaze.

While Aurora was clearly resistant to her interference in a matter that she considered beyond her ability to handle, her student's insistence was too much, and in the end, she could only give in.

The platinum blonde sighed in defeat. "Fine I'll tell you, but since I'm trusting you, shouldn't you also listen to your teacher?"

Evelyn nodded, feeling both relieved and a little ashamed. "I'll of course listen to you, as long as you're not going to get hurt unreasonably."

Aurora shook her head with a helpless smile. "Alright. The situation isn't as dire as it looks. If our academy was so weak that he could wipe us out on a whim, he would have long done so. So"

The pink-haired girl frowned. "But he clearly managed to do this right? If he wanted to kill someone in particular"

Obviously, her meaning didn't escape her teacher, and she shook her head with a smile. "It's not so simple. Our main defensive array covers such a wide area, and is best at preventing entry. When it comes to blocking attacks, although it's slightly worse, but it's still good enough to handle such things for a long time."

Evelyn bit her lip nervously. "Then"

Aurora sighed. "This attack, I believe, was not as simple as it looks. He made it sound like he just passed by and shot us offhandedly, but it clearly is very different from what he used back then."

The pink-haired girl blinked. "Back then?"

Aurora nodded. "Mhm there are records of the Lord of Bones fighting, though they are ancient and scarce, and I've studied them for a long time."

Whether the source of it was the 'Thousand Eyed God' or Bree's inheritance, they could both be considered to be things that existed at the pinnacle of this world's strength, perhaps only slightly below the two thrones.

If there was another type of energy that those high-level beings used, then it made sense for those who were close to that threshold to be able to use the same, even if it was to a lesser extent.

Seeing her student almost jump in excitement, Aurora couldn't help but give her a weird look. "Don't tell me you want to keep this spear for yourself?!"

The thought almost sent her mind reeling.

Aurora had always known how greedy and cheeky her student could be, but this was really too much!

After all, this wasn't an artifact, or an object that could be moved at will, but an attack that seemed to be formed purely from energy!

Although that bone looked solid, Aurora knew that every time the Lord of Bones attacked, he only used some of his physical essence to form the bone outside, and didn't actually pull it directly out of his body.

Just looking at the size of this spear, which was twice as tall as her little student, there was no way it came out of any part of the physical body of the Lord of Bones. His stature wasn't much different from a human, after all.

Evelyn coughed in embarrassment. "T-Teacher, I know this will be a bit hard to believe, but if you let me bring my little puppy here, then this thing she'll eat it up in one go!"

Her teacher was silent for a while before she shook her head in amusement. "What kind of ideas are going through that head of yours? Just because she's a puppy and this is a bone"

The pink-haired girl looked at her with an extremely offended expression on her face. "H-How come you make it sound like I'm stupid? I obviously never said it's because she's a puppy No, to begin with, she's not actually a dog?!"

Aurora coughed. "Well, no matter what, this thing is just a stain on our reputation. No need to put your dear puppy into danger just so"

Evelyn quickly shook her head. "No no, you don't understand, teacher. This thing it's actually good for me! I can take this energy for myself using Bree!"

The amount of chaos energy this thing contained was probably many times that of the tentacle from the 'Thousand Eyed God', and thinking about being able to absorb it for herself, Evelyn couldn't help but feel a little giddy.

Even if it wasn't in terms of tens of thousands of points, it would still at least be over a thousand, right?! In total, how many points of spirit power would she gain, and how much would her comprehension of chaos shoot up? It had to be worth dozens of levels!

Although the Lord of Bones had done this to shame and disgrace them, and she would definitely count it on his head in the future while bashing it in, of course Evelyn actually felt it was pretty good.

After all, wasn't this just an express delivery of spirit power and speed comprehension package for chaos energy?!

Evelyn couldn't help but giggle at that thought. 'If that Lord of Bones guy knew he was just sending me a big gift, I wonder how angry he'll be?'
