Chapter 73: Chapter 73
The night had arrived, and the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic, because after the first conspiring students drank the blue potion in front of the teachers who were hunting them; the few remaining conspiring students, with a few exceptions, in the rest of the school also drank the blue potion, which caused about 11 abominable beings to roam the surroundings of the school looking for prey to hunt. That increased the teachers’ suspicions that there were teachers, servants and maids infiltrating and giving orders, what worried the teachers the most was to see the rank that the abominable beings were capable of reaching based on their original rank, which indicated that if a teacher drank it there would be big problems. Still, despite the setbacks the teachers felt they could manage to resolve the situation, until they felt a wave of powerful corrosive energy.
At the moment the powerful wave of corrosive energy was felt, in the western area was Professor Dervet who headed towards the two-meter-high walls that were at the edge of the western area of the Academy, and shortly after five other professors followed him, and the sight was disconcerting, there were hundreds of abominable beings like the ones he had read in the report and something similar to the conspiring students who were partially transformed, since he did not give them the opportunity to completely transform either.
"These beings move with the power of demonic energy? Some of them have absurd anatomies," thought the professor as he saw the abominable beings approaching, he was calm because he trusted the academy’s barrier, but soon after the barrier inexplicably disappeared.
The faces of the professors darkened, but Professor Dervet, with a firm look in his four eyes told them using demonic energy in his voice:
-Get ready! Destroy them quickly, do not let them pass!
The 5 teachers were willing to comply with Professor Dervet’s order, although since two of them were only at the midpoint and the other three at the peak of fifth rank, when the five teachers saw hundreds of abominable beings at the fifth and dozens at the initial sixth rank, they could not help thinking that they were going to die horribly.
And to make the situation more discouraging at that moment, a huge abominable being came out of the forest and gave off a large amount of corrosive energy, that being was 4 meters tall, had hawk eyes, from its mouth emerged a trunk that sometimes raised to show its jaws with thousands of sharp teeth, the arms of that being were long grayish gray tentacles with red spots of different shapes and sizes, that abominable being was covered by a heavy black metallic armor, and each of its steps shook the ground, but it stopped after taking ten steps out of the forest.
The abominable beings were about to arrive and at that moment....
-Ji ji ji ji
The laughter of an elderly demon was heard, it was Professor Descar Ametz, who approached walking calmly, his grayish wizard robe fluttered in the breeze, he removed the scarf from his neck, showing his long and wrinkled neck, however, what caught everyone’s attention was to see how the scarf became a simple wooden staff, no gems, no cores, just a simple wooden staff.
-Don’t be frightened youngsters. I will do my best to contain you for a while. -Professor Descar said calmly.
- We will follow your wishes, Professor Black Turtle. -Professor Dervec said respectfully.
Professor Descar nodded and tapped the floor of the two meter wall, in front of them and along the entire western boundary of the Academy rose a 14 meter high wall of compact earth, it was an impressive sight and one that lived up to the name of Professor Descar who in the past was known as General Black Turtle, the wizard of impregnable walls.
-Go to the two ends of these walls, not a single one of these monstrous beings will pass the wall, but many will try to surround them, take advantage of the fact that these beings will be divided, do not waste time and look for reinforcements so that they manage to finish with these beings.
-As I ordered! You heard him! Tell the professors that are near and go to one of the two ends of the wall, do not let a single one of those monsters pass. -Dervec exclaimed and went to the left end of the wall.
The other five teachers nodded in relief and went to report Professor Dervet’s orders to the professors nearby.

The Academy had raised its barrier, but it was deactivated, because in a large room, with white walls, with demonic artifacts, and with a huge demonic stone embedded in a pillar in the middle of the room, around which pillar there were several empty seats that had in front of them some metal tables with several demonic gems embedded, a professor with green eyes, gray skin and dark blue hair tied in a tail, who was wearing a dark green shirt and black pants, held a thin and sharp silver saber in his hands with which he killed the fourteen wizards in charge of maintaining the barrier of the academy, using powerful demonic cuts of corroded demonic energy. But soon after the victorious smile that he had shown, was disfigured when he heard the voice of a demon woman that he had seen and heard few times, but she was a demon woman that wherever she went left a strong impression, so it was inevitable that he remembered her.
-Professor Delox, what a surprise! Long time no see.
-Please be quick. -Implored the conspirator Delox who knew the playful wickedness attributed to Mrs. Kariz.
The corner of Kariz’s lips turned upward and she waved her hand which was covered by a black lace glove and three slashes of pure demonic energy cut Delox’s right arm in three places which did not bleed.
Delox tried to resist screaming, because they said that screams of pain in their enemies only amused the executive Kariz who liked to torture enemies.
-Wow, wow, you do a good job, but you know my demonic spells target the nerves, eat away at them and heal them, the nerves send you signals over and over again to realize something is wrong. It hurts, doesn’t it?
Delox listened to Kariz’s playful voice as he gritted his teeth hard and his face was sweating.
Kariz brought one of his black gloved hands to the level of his mouth and yawned, then he let out a chuckle and waved his hand again and three slashes opened Delox’s back who screamed, screamed and tears sprang from his eyes.
-I’ll tell you anything you want! -Delox cried out in despair.
-I don’t think you know much. You think an organization would leave someone with vital information in enemy territory. They don’t care what happens to you. -Kariz said and waved his hand again.
Now Delox lost a foot, as there was no bleeding, he did not faint, and as the wounds ate away at his nerves and healed them, his brain was in chaos and sent only pain signals.

Principal Persec had left the instant the barrier fell, he had sensed a presence at the peak of the seventh rank in the commercial area of the city that was near the Academy.
At the moment Principal Persec left the Academy 4 subjects in black robes and hoods entered the Academy and started to roam around. At that moment, near the entrance of the Academy two teachers at the midpoint of the fifth rank were facing a conspirator turned abominable being that was long and had 10 long insectile legs on each side, with long horns like antennae and a round doughy head with several large nasty eyes. The abominable being resembling a monstrous humanoid worm launched poisonous projectiles of corrosive energy towards the teachers who blocked the attacks with demonic barrearas reinforced with the magic of their demonic staffs to then attack with fire spells and demonic spears, as they were two fifth ranks at the midpoint, they were attacking until they weakened the abominable being little by little.
The robed and hooded subjects saw the two professors fighting the monster, and one of them jumped towards the teachers, and only one of the professors who had flour-white skin, pointed ears, a spiral horn on his forehead and double pupil eyes caught sight of him, but it was too late, the robed subject had pulled out a dark blue scythe that emitted a red and black energy with which he decapitated them both.
The subject of the scythe looked in the direction of the abominable being. The abominable being naturally understood with the few senses he still had left, that he was before a superior being, so he fled to look for new prey.
-Disperse! Accomplish the objectives without delay! -ordered the man with the scythe.
Without saying a word the other three robed subjects moved off in an instant in different directions.
