| Collapse of Xyrus Academy(2) |

POV: Ráel

I took my sword out of the dimensional ring as threw it directly at the red haired boy with a speed that no normal mage would be able to dodge just as the sword was near him out of instincts the boy tried to dodge but he was a slow so the attack was able to cut his right arm.

"ARGHHH, Who did this come out" he screamed in anger and pain from the attack.

With a swift movement I arrived before him as I took the sword in my hand putting it over my shoulders and letting out my demonic intent and mana fluctuation.

—————————————————————

The air seemed to get heavier giving a suffocating and unbearable experience to all around him, air itself seemed to avoid his presence as the earth beneath him crumbled under his might, as students and beasts alike started to fall down unconscious, most of them could not even breath as the aura that was just released was one of pure destruction and craziness.

—————————————————————

"I did it so what are you going to do about it" I responded as I looked the boy right in the eyes,making him even more scared of me I could see the fear in his eyes but his pride would not allow him to succumb to fear.

"YOU WILL PAY I AM THE GREATEST DRANEEVE." he screams as he send multiple fire attacks at me.

"Big words coming from a soon to be dead man" I responded as I easly cut through his attacks and send fire bullets at his shoulder knocking him back as he fell to his knees from the pain.

"WHAT ARE YOU IMBECILES WAITING ATTACK HIM" he screams at the top of his lungs as he order his gang to attack me.

"No one will save you from death today" I responded as I watched the group of dumb people attack me.

I was easily able to dodge their measly attempts at attacking as one by one I slashed them down.

"What bunch of weak people,here I though you guys were strong" I taunted as I looked directly at Draneeve.

"Was it fun playing with those people" I asked him as I slowly started walking towards him along the way killing all the people coming at me.

"Stop him" he yelled as he finally stood up.

"Lukiyah go" he yelled once again as Lucas let go of tessia to fight me.

The other robed figures decisively released their grip from their prisoners and was about to collectively rush towards me, but for some reason, Draneeve stopped them, Draneeve seemed to be almost pleading,oh right I remember now Elijah,I thought as I turned around to see a dozen of mana beast impaled by black metal spikes all around Elijah.

Should I kill him now or, Meh I will kill him later after I am done with them,just as I was deciding what to do with him, he shot a black spike towards Lucas and slowly lost consciousness.

The attack was fast enough and Lucas could not dodge he stumbled back as the attack hit his right shoulder, piercing right through it.

Draneeve took Elijah in his arms and began walking towards the back of the stone platform where several robed men were fumbling with what looked like an oddly shaped anvil.

"Lukiyah. Change of plans. You will take care of the ones ignorantly approaching and dispose of these—" he glanced down at the students captured, his eyes stopping at our Student Council President, "— trash."

"I will be heading back first. I expect you to follow us through the gate promptly after," Draneeve continued, the pompous expression he once had nowhere to be seen.

"Were are you going guys the party just started" I said as i slowly let out a smirk on my face.

"Fall" I slowly muttered as I used gravity to pressure them down as I slowly made my way towards Lucas

I grabbed Lucas by the face and with a swift motion I smashed him on the ground not bothering to kill him, Arthur will be here soon enough for him, I directed my attention towards the group of people trying to escape.

I decided this has gone long enough and put my hand forward as I summoned fire chains and directed them towards them the heat coming from the chains burning them up and restrain everyone of them.

I made my way towards them with a quick dash activating my demonic eyes and imbued my sword with fire mana and tried to influence as much Aether as possible in my slash the little purple ball of aether in the atmosphere started to slowly come towards the sword slowly changing the color of my flames from a black-blue to purple-black fire.

The heat emanating from the fire was immense even the ground around me started to melt at an incredible speed creating molten lava.

With just a flick of my hand the slash was send directly at the group of people trying to escape,completely eradicating everything that came on its way the slash finally reached its target as it enveloped them not even leaving time for them to scream as nothing was left behind even the stone platform was completely destroyed.

Afterwards I started killing all the mana beasts remaining, it didn't take long for a pile of dead mana beasts to be created.

I sat on top of it as I gently started cleaning the sword from all the blood just then a black blur appeared in the sky as a black mana beast landed on top of the platform most of the students were in awe at the unmistakable figure of a winged beast that every adventurer—every person—had once hoped to catch a glimpse of, a real Dragon.

Lets just enjoy the show for now I thought as observed Arthur's every move every step he took, just for a brief moment we made eye contact as he nodded at my direction understanding that I left Lucas alive for a reason.

He made his way towards tessia as he gently embraced her as he ordered Sylvie to protect her the dragon took tessia and arrived in-front of me.

"Don't worry everything will be over soon" I said as I gently patted her snout her scales were soft but the defence they provided were anything but that.

"You should hurry the big shots will be here soon" I said to Arthur knowing full well because of mi intervention the barrier that was in the story is already broken so the lances will be here sooner.

He nodded at me, surprised by my words but he understood most of it, and the only thing that could be described as torture started.

Directly going to his second phase Arthur started by slowly freezing his arms with white fire wich he could only use with the help of his beast will , after that he used black lightning to do even more damage at Lucas laying in the ground.

Next he used a gravity spell same as mine and started to crush Lucas legs.

Lucas spat out a mouthful of blood, his leg crumpled into a mess of crimson. Shattered bone fragments dotted the pool of red as it seeped through the cracks in the ground made by the increased gravitational force of his augmented foot.

Another bone splitting crunch echoed through the surrounding atmosphere before a shrill howl of pain promptly followed as he did the same to his other leg.

Arthur slowly lifted his leg up again aiming between Lucas legs the only place he could have any attachment left.

"W-What are you doing?" Lucas asked his voice was tinged with a trace of fear.

"Taking measures to ensure your filth won't spread to the next generation."Arthur replied.

His eyes widened at the impending realization as the stubs of his arms flailed. He opened his mouth to say something but...

"May your suffering last onto your next life," he recited indifferently as the foot started slowly making his way down.

The firm, mana-imbued stamp of his foot against Lucas' pelvic region created a cacophony of snapping bones, squelching flesh, and splintering gravel, accompanied by a mind-numbingly shrill screech.

At this point, Lucas, an accomplice responsible for so much havoc and death—the one that drove Arthur to this point—was now nothing more than a dying body. His mouth frothed, with only the whites of his eyes showing, as he continuously mumbled incoherently.

The disaster that had befallen them was over. The perpetrators that had killed three professors and was responsible for the deaths of many more were now dead.

Yet no one rejoiced. There was still fear in everyone's eyes, except, when it was once directed toward Lucas and the group of attackers, it was now directed toward me and Arthur. In the midst of this silence was a palpable tension radiating from everyone present, student and staff.

But I did not care that much anyway those people fears and opinions ,about me doesn't change a thing in the grand scheme of things.

3RD PERSON POV:

Just as people started relaxing another immense pressure came down on them from the sky looking up the people saw three figures descending towards the masked man and Arthur at an impressive speed.

The Lances.

——————————————————————

POV:Ráel

"...ther," a strained, gurgled gasp escaped from Lucas.

Looking down, I noticed Lucas' eyes fixed toward the Lances; he spoke again, this time more distinctly.

"B-Brother…"

Before Arthur could even react to what he had said, a sudden surge of light struck him in the chest, barreling him straight into the bell tower with such force that he broke through the mana-enforced wall, buried underneath the rubble.

"Don't attack Sylvie" I said to the dragon as she was ready to throw a ball of fire towards him the Lance that attacked Arthur.

Just then a ice spell was used towards us I slowly jumped back and let out a stream of black-blue fire disrupting the spell.

"Death is not enough for you two. To do something so atrocious to a Wykes, to my brother..." He didn't speak loudly. In fact, it almost sounded calm, yet his voice carried an alarming clarity that felt as if he had spoken directly into my ear. A storm of electricity trailed around him, dancing like restless cobras craving to be released as he made his way towards Arthur.

Another ice spell was released towards me and Sylvie, I was easily able to counterattack but Sylvie got trapped in an ice cage.

I decided for this fight I should stop the gravitational force that is is always pressing my body against the ground all the time,I have never stopped this magic spell since I unlocked gravity magic.

The moment I stopped it my body felt light like a feather I felt I could destroy everyone with psychical strength alone and that is just what I will do I though with a crazy smile on my face as I took dragon slayer in my right hand ready to fight.
