Meanwhile,

Ray stood amidst the countless corpses, his body bathed in blood made it seem as if he was a demon of garbage that had just finished its rampage.

The strange spear in his hand had a reddish glint shining upon it as the Void Shards that made up the spear had absorbed the blood from the trolls.

With his blood-red eyes, Ray scanned the surroundings as a small spatial right opened up.

"Grhhh" Seeing the spatial rift, Ray growled in an inhumane manner as his figure blurred. Appearing in front of the spatial rift, he slashed his spear.

"Zhinggg" The air trembled as the Void elemental energy destabilized the spatial rift. Due to this spatial rift collapsed from within.

"Boooomm" An explosion occurred as the disruptive elemental energies exploded the very structure of the spatial rift.

Ray overlooked the explosion as his body appeared back in its initial position. Then, his left eye changed. The pupil turned greyish as small spirals swirled within it.

Looking around, he saw numerous spatial rifts in another hall. Then, kicking the ground, his body flew towards the hall full of trolls.

As his figure vanished, from under the troll bodies, Kashish staggered out. Her breathing was ragged as fear shone in her eyes. With her body covered in blood and grime, the outer world princess didn't care and instead ran to the opposite hall.

"He is a demon for sure," She thought in fear and ran away.

Previously,

After defeating the huge troll, Ray had continued to fight the trolls without a break. As he fought, he got more and more aggressive and his fighting style turned even more brutal.

Then, after various fights, Ray had finally lost. He had gone crazy, his blood had boiled to the extent that the blood thirst had taken control over his mind.

Due to this, Ray had also unlocked a special title,

[Berserker],

[Description:- The bloodthirst of the host judges the title. The more blood thirst, the more levels are unlocked. Currently, the host's body could unlock up to three levels.

Level 1:- 25 percent blood thirst; Allows the host to use his bloodthirst and gain strength temporarily in exchange for rational thinking ability. The host gains a ten percent increase in overall strength while his rational thinking ability is decreased by twenty percent. Also, the host's other attributes are increased by 5 percent.

Level 2:- 30 percent blood thirst; Allows the host to use his bloodthirst and gain strength temporarily in exchange for rational thinking ability. The host gains a 15 percent increase in overall strength while his rational thinking ability is decreased by twenty-three percent. Also, the host's other attributes are increased by seven percent. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Level 3:- 37 percent blood thirst; Allows the host to use his bloodthirst and gain strength temporarily in exchange for rational thinking ability. The host gains a 17 percent increase in overall strength while his rational thinking ability is decreased by twenty-seven percent. Also, the host's other attributes are increased by fifteen percent while certain immunity from curses and illusions is obtained]

Throughout the increased bloodthirst, Ray would gain strength and lose his rational thinking, and right now, that was what Ray was experiencing. Although he could fight and think enough to not endanger the innocent, he didn't care for the consequences of his actions or of his fighting style.

Also, as he got more and more brutal, his body worked more efficiently with his various abilities and magical affinities. But due to this, he burned more mana and stamina.

As Ray stabbed his spear through the heart of a troll, he felt his head throbbing. A vein pooped over his forehead as his body started telling him to stop. However, the blood thirst ruled his mind, he clenched his teeth and continued on with his carnage as he dismembered every single troll in front of him.

On the other hand,

Kashish reached another long corridor. Fortunately, the corridor seemed to be unaffected as there was neither a single troll nor a drop of blood there, indicating that the place had stayed away from the chaos caused by the merge.

Running through the corridor, a shadow emerged from below her feet and extended behind her. This shadow was the same that Moore had caught at the invasion site in the main city and yesterday night, he had released the shadow.

Unbeknownst to Moore, the shadow chose a close ally of his as its target. The shadow had eerie-looking ruby-like eyes while a row of sharp greyish teeth opened up as a retching stench came from within its mouth.

As the stench made it to Kashish's nose, she retched and turned around. Only to see the shadow grinning at her.

Looking at the shadow, she found very familiar and after a second, she remembered what it was.

"Depressing Horror" was the name of the shadow. It was an existence found in the dark plane and its very purpose was to scare any sentient being to depression and later feast upon its soul. To control this shadow, one had to be in the Calamity Realm and she also remembered that one of the invading captains sent down by her mother along with her had this as their contracted spirit.

Looking at the shadow, she gulped as she knew that the shadow didn't recognize anyone other than its master and right now she didn't who had contracted it. The shadow only needed souls. However, she also knew that if she showed any signs of fear, the shadow would only gain more control over her consciousness. Therefore, what she had to was remain calm and try to think of a way to get out of its domain.

While Kashish was trying to think of a way to get rid of the shadow, Sirius and the rest made their way to the corridor where Kashish was. Apparently, they had formed a huge team consisting of dozens of students, and right now, they were making their way towards the place with the least troll density as indicated by the badge in Noah's hands.

"Stop, don't move forward," Sniffing the air, Sirius raised his hand and halted. His ears twitched as he felt something strange in the area in front of him. Looking at the clean corridor that seemed to remain unaffected, Sirius lifted his arm as a shadow wolf extended out of his shadow.

Commanding the shadow wolf, he let it go forward while he himself connected the shadow wolf to his brain,

[Telepathic Summon], this was an ability of his which allowed him to telepathically control his shadow summons up to the range of one kilometer, and at one time, he could control up to five summons and share their vision, hearing, and smell.

As the wolf rushed forward, Sirius shared its senses and saw the wolf heading deeper into the corridor. As it did, Sirius saw the corridor turning darker and darker as two rubies illuminated within the corridor. In a corner, a female student crouched on the floor as a blackish mist formed upon her head.

"I don't want to… I don't want to… Plzz…Leave me alone," The student kept on crying while muttering incomprehensible sentences.

"What is that fog?" Sirius thought to himself as he made shadow wolf proceed further. Since the whole place was covered in darkness, the shadow wolf integrated within it very well and even the eerie existence was unable to sense it.

Approaching the existence from behind, Sirius decided to study it but as soon as the wolf sprang out from the shadows, the existence turned. The ruby-like eyes made eye contact with the wolf's shadowy eyes as the wolf evaporated in a puff of smoke while Sirius clenched his head in pain.

"Arghhh" He groaned in pain and looked pepper into the corridor and felt a pair of amused eyes staring at him.

"What happened," Noah stepped forward and asked in worry. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

After all, it was very unusual for Sirius who was just weaker than Ray to feel pain in such a way.

"There's a very strong existence in the corridor. Most probably a dark spirit or demon and also, it seems to be feeding upon the negative emotion of a girl," Sirius spoke.

Listening to Sirius, Elina frowned and said, "What type of existence? Explain it to me and also, what about the girl?" She asked, not only was she intrigued by the existence but also concerned for the girl. After all, as a girl, she still shared some sympathy for other girls.

"It had ruby-like eyes and…." Sirius started explaining as Elina stood there and listened to him. Then, within her consciousness, she told it all to the demon residing within it.

"I know what it is. It is "Depressing Horror," A rather mid-ranked demon that feeds upon negative emotions by putting the one it feeds upon in various kinds of depressing illusions from their own memory," said the demon in disdain, as if disgusted over the mention of the demon.

"Do you know how to defeat it?" Elina asked with enthusiasm.

"Defeat? It shall bow down to my presence," The demon replied.

Although Elina felt a bit strange over the demon's narcissistic remarks, she didn't care as long as there was a way to defeat the demon.

"I know how to defeat it. Let's go," She took the lead and spoke with courage.

"Okay, After you," Sirius didn't mind as he was sure that Elina having control over curses and dark energy must have some plan or she might never take the lead in such a way.
