Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 383 A Suspicious Dragon

The creatures were continuing to pour out in large numbers, crushing the tiles from the Red Student base completely. It was looking bare, and now the beasts were barely hanging onto the structures underneath before they leapt off them.

Large parts of the walls had been destroyed, looking as if they had almost been eaten away, allowing one to see the inside of the student base and the dead students who didnʼt make it from the portal break.

There were more beasts than students, but the teachers were able to put up a good fight. After all, they were selected to train the future generations, so they needed to have some skill.

If the current main clan leaders were still present, then there would be no problem at all, but they had to do the best they could.

One of the creatures had come right next to Raze and Safa, but Dame quickly shifted, dodging its long legs that snapped, crashing into the floor. He then twisted his fist as he hit it right under its belly. A hole was made through the beast, causing it to fall on his fist. Then, with his strength, he hurled it away to the side.

”I donʼt think protecting you in all of this mess is the hard thing, but doing so without seeming so suspicious is going to be a problem,” Dame said.

Right now, they were at the back of the Red Student base courtyard. There was a broken wall to the side where all of the others were, but they had remained because Raze wanted to take a better look at the Principal.

So far, the other teachers and Amir were the only ones doing the fighting, but they hadnʼt turned around or seemed to notice them just yet. In the end, after giving the order for the students to get out of there, they didnʼt care what happened to them, but for how long.

The more Dame used his Qi, surely someone would recognize them. However, that was when something large had occurred. Large chunks of the roof exploded off, flying all over the place, and escaping out from the top, standing there larger than the other beasts, were the first that the group had encountered.

It looked identical to the beasts they had been fighting, with its hard black exoskeleton and sharp fangs, only it was around three times bigger compared to the rest.

”Do you think thatʼs the one in charge?” Murkel asked.

”Thereʼs only one way to find out,” Amir claimed.

With his hands behind his back, he rushed forward and jumped up. When he did, his foot landed on top of the smaller beastʼs head. From each beast Amir kicked down, jumping from one to the other. When he would kick off their heads, a large explosion of Qi would occur, sending the beastʼs head crashing to the ground and splattering across the floor.

It looked like he was simply walking on top of their heads, but with each kick, he was able to kill the beasts underneath him. He continued to do this and then pushed with both of his feet, jumping off one of their heads and heading right up to the rooftop.

”It looks like the Principal isnʼt the only person that we really need to worry about; the Vice Principalʼs strength canʼt be underestimated either,” Raze thought.

He would soon see his strength. At a guess, if the other beasts were at level 3, then the larger one had to at least be at the fourth level.

Now stood on the rooftop, Amir was face to face with the large creature. They stared at each other until Amir made the first move. Leaping up into the air, he lifted his leg up until it had reached the top of his head. Then, before the creature could even react, he swung it down. The visual Qi from above made it look like a giant sword was rushing through the sky. As the bottom of his foot hit the creatureʼs head, the large sword Qi had sliced right through the center of its head.

The body wasnʼt chucked to the ground or crushed like the others; it was a clean cut that had killed the beast. Its body leaned to the side and smashed on the remaining tiles that were available before it continued to slide and fall onto the floor, lifeless like all of the other beasts.

”I donʼt think that was the boss, but I have managed to at least find where they are coming from!” Amir shouted, turning around to look at the Principal.

When he did, in the distance he could see Raze, Dame, and Safa sticking together. It was only for a moment, but his eyes had lingered on them longer compared to other areas.

Hearing these words, the Principal seemed to waste no time, and unlike Amir, he had jumped from his position and had entered right through the broken front door of the Red Student base. His Qi still lingered, making it so the beasts wouldnʼt approach him, and the other teachers continued to attack them away. After that, he looked up and leapt to the second floor.

Raze, who had been staying at the back so far, then hit Dame from behind and pointed to the building.

”You want me to take you in, donʼt you? You want to get a closer look. I donʼt think this is such a good idea, but itʼs your plan in the first place,” Dame stated as he grabbed him and rushed in, doing his best to avoid being seen and avoid the rest of the beasts.

Murkel had entered the room, the room where the portal was meant to be. It wasnʼt hard to find; nearly all of the second-

floor walls had been destroyed by the beasts. The Principal slowly walked up to the portal, where beasts were still coming out.

When they did, though, they would scatter around the sides of the walls, heading in every direction apart from where the Principal currently was, and thatʼs when he had finally entered the room.

He looked down at the floor; there were blood parts all over the place, having been mostly torn apart by the beasts, but one of the faces and the clothing he could see on the ground.

Picking it up off the floor, he knew the symbol.

”This is from one of the Physicians, one of the ones I sent.” His head scanned around the room, and he could see several arms around the area. He had no clue whose they had belonged to, but he had come to a conclusion.

”The Physicians, did they die in this room? All three of them were sent to try and heal the boy, and then a portal break occurs. I can assume most likely that all of them are dead.

What are the chances of that? The boy ruined the plans of the assessment, and now a portal break of all things, at a time like that, is it really such a coincidence? But is it even possible for a simple student to do such a thing?”

Walking closer, the Principal had a smile on his face as he approached the portal.

”It seems I need to speak with the boy directly.”
