24 Chapter 24 (Killing off the weak again)

The deafening roar rumbled everything that is within its path... overturning many trees and boulders as if nothing could resist it.

Even though the whole Barren Land had been brushed through by its sheer momentum alone but the continuous consequence that It brings is still there... lingering about into the next area.

Minutes departed by and eventually, the commotion gradually settles down as the group of students and teachers began to get back up on their feet.

Some had collapsed due to the explosive amount of exposure from the roar and some are even bleeding from their eardrum.

"Check those who are wounded and start counting for our number! make sure everyone is here! hurry!"

After gaining her senses... Senior Weyn immediately ordered them to act and try to save those in need.

If she's alone then that's fine... since she can defend herself from any danger. But now she's currently escorting a group of talent from her academy... if anything were to happen then she won't be able to explain to the headmaster.

"Yes, Senior!... quick!"

"Over here! someone is bleeding!"

"There bring him up and patch his ear..."

"Yes!"

The noises of hurried footsteps could be heard tiptoed about in the area while the other teachers that had recouped began to protect the group.

"Senior... so far we had confirmed over 2 students that went missing... "

Elder Li slowly came to her side and whispered...

"What!... who is it?"

She asked with disbelief... If some students were to die under her watch... her reputation will surely blacken when they got back. She is a Noble 10-star Magician! Reputation is a part of her life!.

"It is a young man named Eli and Ren"

"You said what? Ren?!"

"U-uH... yes senior..."

"Quick! we need to find him... he's a good talent for our academy! he's one of the few that possess the talent to reach 8 stars and above!"

Hearing Elder Li's words... her eyes immediately magnified in alarm as she hurriedly fled the area trying to search for these two students' whereabouts... mainly for Ren. As for the other one... she doesn't care.

-

Somewhere near a cave entrance that is directly connected to the mountain.

A frightening scene currently unfolds itself in front of it as a cold and handsome young man is wringing the neck of another person with his right arm and lifting him up.

"C-curshe! you TRASH!!"

Ren attempted to scream towards Eli while his face is coming to be more purple while getting suffocated.

He gritted his teeth heavily as blood started to seep out from his mouth.

"Ren..."

"You see I never bothered to chase after that woman that you liked so much..."

"I never bothered talking to others..."

"I never even tried to shine myself within the class..."

"I had been constantly and constantly... trying to stay invisible..."

"But..."

"You... you just don't know when to stop... "

Eli coldly whimpered these words as the gust of death began to inundate Ren perspective.

"You were the only one that had been constantly... trying to stop me... from staying invisible..."

"How about I tell you a secret?... the so-called (invisible)that I'm trying to reach... is the only path of the strong"

"The path that guarantees calmness as I orchestrate a melody of death towards others from behind the line..."

"Remember those 5 missing students? oh, I wonder what happened to them... "

Eli slowly muttered as he started to screech a small arc of a smile. His eyes shined with killing intent.

"Y-You!!! it- was you!!!"

As if to come into a realization... Ren pair of pupils immediately dilated in shock!...

It is him the one who had slaughtered those students!...

"Haha yes, it's me!... how about you joining them? I think they are having fun there in the underworld! hahaha"

"N-Nooo!"

*Cracked!*

*plop*

Without giving him a chance... Eli immediately tightened his grip and broke Ren's neck... instantly sending him off to the afterlife.

"I should continue on deeper into this cave..."

Having said that... He slowly paced his path into the darkness as behind his back stood a motionless corpse with desperation on its face.

*Steps* *steps* *steps*

The sound of his footsteps was gradually engulfed into the darkness as the cave zoomed out from the perspective.
