Chapter 203 The Battles End; Princess Infiltrates The Academy
The dean's slash cut through the air as it halted the burly man's assault.
As Ray and Sirius sighed in relief, they remembered the other members of the team. Turning to Inferno, Ray spoke, "The others, they are battling the lackeys,"
"Don't worry. Just tell me where they are. I will handle the rest," Inferno reassured as Ray told him where the others were.
"Okay," Inferno nodded as the fire around blazed as he shot through the air.
On the other hand, the dean stood in front of the man as he looked right into the man's eyes and noticed that the man was overcome with rage.
"To think that two kids could make you go berserk. I wonder if you all are celestials or not?" The dean spoke. Raising his scythe in the air, the dean slashed it down.
"Hmph.." The burly man snorted, raising his arms, his muscles swelled as he punched at the incoming arc.
"Banggg!!!" A small explosion occurred as dust flew everywhere. The man skidded along the ground as the arc disappeared in the air.
"Seems like you have some power. Though only having physical strength doesn't make you strong," The dean said and transformed. A hooded cloak draped over his body as two hideous wings opened up from his back.
The scythe took on a darker tone while the aura around the dean turned even more terrifying, "Let me reap your soul as well," The dean spoke in a husky voice.
Listening to him speak, even Silent Sword had goosebumps all over his body. Not to mention what Ray and Sirius felt. Well, both of them had the color drained from their faces as if they had seen death itself.
In reality, they had, as the dean was the supposed death on Earth. He was the soul reaper who had killed so many that even he couldn't count.
The dean flew in the air, a dark air looming around him as he raised his hand. A fire formed over his hand as countless souls revolved within it.
Putting his hand near his mouth, he blew onto the fire. As he did, the fire blazed as the souls within it howled even louder.
The fire flew by as it engulfed the burly man. Trapped within the curtain of soulfire, the man's screams resounded everywhere as the souls swallowed him alive.
"That's his finishing move. I wonder if there is anyone to ever live after he uses this move," Silent Sword muttered.
"What is he exactly?" Sirius asked, in awe of the dean's strength.
"He is the living definition of death," Silent Sword replied.
"Let's go," Ray stood up and said. His transformation was over by then and he was completely worn out.
"Let's go kids. It's been a long day now," The dean landed and spoke.
With that, the four of them left the battlefield and went towards where the others were.
"How did it go?" The dean asked Inferno as he saw the fire maniac sitting on a stone throwing around fireballs for fun.
"Nothing much. Just killed them," Inferno answered as he stood up. Behind him was everyone else as they had horrified looks on their faces.
"What happened to you guys," Noticing their strange behavior, Sirius asked.
"Nothing," they shook their heads in denial as they got moving.
"Ray!" Aella ran out as she came and hugged Ray.
"What happened?" He asked, now sure that something had happened for sure.
However, seeing her deny it; Ray let it be and planned to ask about it later. Right now, even if he asked; he wasn't sure if he would be able to understand anything as, with every second that passed, his consciousness blurred as the fatigue got to him.
While they made their way back to the academy, Moore welcomed his long-awaited guest,
"Welcome princess," Moore greeted as he saw the black-cloaked woman approach the academy gates.
Seeing the man greet her, the princess nodded as she pulled the hood down and hid her face. Ignoring her reaction, Moore turned around and signaled her to follow.
With the guards gone, the two moved under the cover of darkness as Moore took her to his office.
"Creakk…" Opening the door of the office, Moore walked in and turned as he said to her,
"You will have to stay here for tonight. Though it might not appease your tastes as a princess. I must remind you that you are here on a mission and will have to work with what you have,"
"Okay," The woman nodded as she walked inside.
As she did, Moore let her be and left the office. With the door shutting down, the woman finally took off her hood and revealed her beautiful face.
Instead of the usual characteristic purplish-colored skin of their race, her skin was pristine and pure as if jade itself with no blemishes on it.
Wiping the beads of sweat over her milky forehead, she breathed in relief. Taking a small device out of her cloak, she put it over her ear and spoke into it,
"Mission update. Infiltration successful, awaiting further orders," Saying that, she put the device back and started taking off the cloak. As she did, she revealed her beautifully crafted figure hugged by leather battle armor.
"I should check this place before," She thought and inspected the whole place.
On the other hand, Moore walked out of the academy building and stood at the academy gates as he saw the dean and the others approaching the gates.
"What are you doing here?" Reaching the gates, the dean questioned.
"I heard of an attack. I was just coming to assist you but from the looks of it, you seem to have dealt with it," Moore replied.
Listening to his story, many would have believed in him and would have gotten fooled but the dean knew better and remained skeptical as the venomous snake named Moore.
"Okay. Though, I haven't dealt with it entirely. A lot of buildings were damaged and some clues are still to be found while the reason for the attack is known," The dean spoke. Taking a pause, he rubbed his chin as if contemplating something. Then gazing at Moore, he spoke,
"Why don't you go and handle the cleaning and asses the damages. Though, don't worry about investigating the cause of the attack. Abraham and Amanda will be there to do that," As the dean spoke, he slowly saw Moore's widen slightly while anger flashed in his eyes.
However, who was Moore? He was a clever fox himself. Therefore, controlling his anger and stabilizing his overflowing emotions, Moore spoke,
"Sure. I will happily comply with your orders,"
"Wonderful. This will take a lot of load over my shoulders," The dean smiled as he waved him goodbye as Moore flew away in anger.
"Are you sure of it," Ray asked.
"More than sure. It will keep him busy for quite some while. Thus, bringing us some more time to prepare," The dean replied as he walked inside the Academy.
As they walked, the Moore flew in the air as he continued to gain altitude, "F*cking A*shole!" He cursed, and thought, "To think he would order me around and I would happily comply,"
"I will make sure to kill him with my own hands and then show him his place," He swore to himself as he finally reached the battlefield.
Looking down, he saw multiple corpses on the ground. Squinting his eyes, he looked closely and noticed that the corpses on the ground only consisted of the lackeys as the corpses of celestials were missing.
"Bastards, they cleared of the corpses. I am sure that a*shole wants to dissect the corpses and find out the differences between humans and them," Moore cursed and then descended as he tried to search for any things left behind and hide any clues.
"You guys continue working," Descending, Moore spoke to the cleaners left behind and started searching on his own.
"Yes sir!" The cleaners saluted as they recognized Moore and kept their heads down in respect.
As Moore started searching the area, he felt an eerie presence and smiled with a grin plastered over his face.
"So she sent you as well," He spoke as he turned around and looked at the eerie shadow hovering there.
"Wanna have some fun haunting students?" He asked as a revenge plan formed in his mind.
