High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 1706: Chapter 450 Hidden Danger

”Report!!”

”The monitoring team has confirmed that two Outer God descendants have intruded into the battlefield. One is a prisoner of the Black Prison World, detained in the Extreme East Abyss, provisionally codenamed ’Black Goat One’; the other recently broke in through a shattered interdimensional passage, provisionally codenamed ’Black Goat Two’!”

”Both Outer God descendants belong to the Mountain Goat of the Forest, Your Highness Shub-Niggurath! Based on their appearance, characteristics, and aura, it can be determined that they both evolved from black goat cubs!”

”Report!!”

”The liaison team has already contacted the hunting team that is pursuing the two Outer God descendants!”

”The Kunpeng Hunting Team under the Xianqin Hunting Group detected the X factor affecting the Divination Group’s plan during a timeline pre-operation, thereby beginning to hunt Black Goat Two when Lin Zhong Lake’s White Tower passage shattered and returned to the Black Prison.”

”It has been confirmed that Black Goat Two possesses high-level registered wizard capabilities, and compared to ordinary black goat cubs, it possesses higher intelligence and stronger mobility, classified as a special descendant.”

”The hunting team chasing Black Goat One was temporarily formed from elite assistant professors selected by Principal Yao of Jiuyou Academy, originally planned to investigate the abnormal magic fluctuations at the ’White Rainbow Entrance’, and collect information on the number, targets, and other specifics of illegal entities invading the Black Prison.”

”The hunting team cannot accurately assess Black Goat One’s strength.”

”As for the failure to report this attack in advance, it’s because both hunting teams suddenly encountered an evolving Color of Star during their pursuit, subjected to its widespread attack magic interference, losing their target’s traces...”

”Why wasn’t the loss of the target reported in time!”

A short and fat Great Diviner waved the divination tokens in his hand, interrupting the communication wizard angrily: ”When confirming the battlefield situation earlier, didn’t they say everything was normal, and there were no casualties?!”

The communication wizard was silent for a moment.

Then he weakly replied: ”Indeed, there were no casualties... When confirming the battlefield situation, both hunting teams explicitly stated they were ’still in pursuit’, but did not explicitly say ’everything was normal’.”

”Ha?!” The short and fat Great Diviner was so angry that he laughed: ”So they played word games with the Divination Group just because they lost track of the target?”

”That’s enough.”

The Divination Group Leader, standing in front of the sand table, waved the feather fan in his hand with his back to everyone, and the communication wizard quietly withdrew after saluting.

”Let the wizards on site handle the matters on-site, we should not interfere too much.” Zhuge turned around, his gaze sweeping over the other Great Diviners present, slightly intensifying his tone: ”As for post-war recriminations, those are matters after the war... Right now, we need to consider how to deal with these two descendants of Nicolas.”

”The Kunpeng Hunting Team is under your Xianqin, so naturally you’ll defend them at all costs.” The short and fat Great Diviner muttered sotto voce.

”So, does your Holy Tang Hunting team have any issues with the Xianqin Hunting Team?” Another long-bearded Elder Wizard turned his head expressionlessly towards the short and fat wizard, tapping several badges on his chest with a flick of his fingers: ”... You are also the vice leader of the Divination Group, feel free to voice any opinions.”

The short and fat wizard gave an awkward smile.

”Master Li, Mr. Room has no other intentions.” Zhuge rubbed his temples wearily, hard-pressed to please everyone, attempting to soothe the situation by changing the topic: ”... As for Black Goat One, since the hunting team couldn’t provide a specific strength assessment, do you have any views?”

As one of the few Great Diviners directly under the First University, Professor Yi hoped everyone would work together and immediately chimed in with a response: ”Registered level and above, but not fully there yet.”

”Sounds like a ’Giant’ in the making.” Another Great Diviner laughed.

The so-called ’Giant’ refers to those whose magic has surpassed the limit of the Big Wizard but has not yet achieved the Legendary Rank, with classic examples like the ’Three Dark Behemoths’ rampaging in the Black Prison World, Leviathan, Ziz, and Behemoth.

The atmosphere in the room finally relaxed.

”It does seem a bit like that.”

Professor Yi exhaled lightly, smiling as he added: ”You who spend most of your time outside might not be too familiar with the situation inside the Black Prison. As far as I know, the black goat cub in the Extreme East Abyss—let’s still call it a cub—is trying to escape the bondage of Nicolas, taking shelter in the school and hiding in the Black Prison.”

”Mr. Ruo Yu has mentioned that if the cub attempts to move further, breaking through to the Great Wizard Rank, it will be immediately detected by Shub-Niggurath... Therefore, it has consistently behaved quietly and low-key.”

”This time, with other descendants of Nicolas breaching the Black Prison and sensing its presence, it is nothing short of a life-and-death adversary, so it’s no wonder they ended up fighting.”

”Are you suggesting that we can ignore their impact on the battlefield?”

Mr. Room questioned, then immediately shook his head: ”Everything in the world is interconnected; even a casually discarded nail can destroy a nation, let alone two maddened starry descendants.”

”Their presence on the battlefield makes it difficult for our wizards to fight at full strength.” Another Great Diviner similarly reminded: ”The pollution from the starry sky can unconsciously spread... Those demons may not care about such distortion, but our people cannot afford it.”

”Remember those ’MiG King Bugs’?” The long-bearded Elder Wizard fiddled with the old grass floating in mid-air, frowning: ”There’s no doubt that those monsters are demons after starry sky pollution—perhaps ’hybrid’ is a more fitting term—if the starry sky suddenly joined the Black Prison battlefield, I wouldn’t be surprised.”

This speculation was heavy.

So much so that all the Great Diviners in front of the sand table fell into thought and silence.

Professor Yi quietly walked to Mr. Zhuge’s side.

”What’s Zheng Qing up to?”

He asked in a low voice.

As a professor at the First University, Yi JiaZi was particularly focused on the ’X factor’ within the school. Undoubtedly, Zheng Qing, who stirred up a lot of trouble on campus, was the biggest variable in his sight, and now, suddenly appearing on the Black Prison battlefield, made him even more concerned: ”Why is he in the Black Prison?”

The Divination Group Leader sighed deeply: ”Would you believe me if I said it was an accident?”

Professor Yi had a rather skeptical expression.

Mr. Zhuge impatiently waved the feather fan in his hand, vaguely nodding upwards: ”I suspect some big shot intervened, and relevant departments have been drawn in...”

”Relevant departments?”

Professor Yi blinked, somewhat puzzled, pointing towards the battlefield in front of the outer fort: ”Didn’t they already step in a long time ago? Although publicly they claim not to intervene... otherwise, why have their nine guardians stationed outside?”
