Chapter 381 The Portal Break
Chapter 381 The Portal Break
Raze had experienced three portal openings during his time in Pagna. The first was when Simyon’s earring was unsealed. At the time, using her massive amount of power, Charlotte from Alter was able to close it.
This was something that Raze could most likely do now that he was a 4-star mage. He was actually above Charlotte, who was a 3-star mage the last time he had seen her, but he was unaware of the method.
When this occurred, it was the first time Raze had learned of a Hybrid. Those who are trapped in the other dimensions undergo a transformation, turning them into part beast, part human.
He had yet to meet one in the other dimensions, or see such a thing, but he knew they were dangerous creatures.
The second time a portal had opened up was when the statue was unsealed. Although in this instance, it wasn’t a portal break but more of a portal opening.
And now, the third time a portal had opened, this time, it was quite clear it was a portal break. Almost immediately after the portal had opened up, the claw of a giant beast burst through.
Reacting fast, Raze could have fired off another Dark pulse or one of his many spells in his arsenal. Dame even looked over, wondering if he was about to do such a thing. Instead, all he could see was a smile on his face.
“This was part of the plan, this was planned!” Dame thought.
The beast’s claw ripped through, and coming out, a large disfigured face with six eyes and four horns atop its head had appeared. It was odd because as the claw reached out, it was large in size.
It crashed onto the ground and had already torn up the wooden floorboards. It was as if the moment its body got out of the portal, it would warp into its real size.
The beast let out a screech that was both low and high at the same time, shaking the room, and almost immediately, Dame had rushed forward to grab Safa.
“I’m sorry, but we’re going to have to get out of here. There won’t just be one beast coming out of that thing, but quite a few of them.”
The beast’s hind legs had come out into the room and nearly filled it entirely. Its body was already crushing the side of the room’s walls.
“I’m sorry, Raze, but it looks like I’m going to have to grab you because you need a little help!” Dame rushed over and held Raze under with one arm.
Right after that, Dame didn’t hesitate as he jumped backward, powering his body with Qi, allowing him to break through the wall. He had broken the barrier of the second floor and landed right in the center of the Red Headband base.
Some of the students were currently present and startled by the sudden appearance. “If I were you guys, I would start to run!” Dame exclaimed.
When the students looked up at where Dame had come from, they could see several almost tiger-sized beasts run out from the room. They had hardened black skin, moved on all fours, and had six eyes.
What was frightening was how they had scurried out of the place. It was as if a nest of spiders was disturbed as the beasts were climbing out of the walls and storming out of the room.
Immediately, some of them had even jumped down from the second balcony. One had landed right on top of a student who was unprepared, and opened its mouth, digging its two pincer-
like fangs right into his neck.
Blood squirted out, and the student had died on the spot. Another one had come toward Raze and Safa; Dame had placed them both down and spun his hand, hitting one right in the face with the back of his fist, sending it flying in the other direction.
“These beasts, they’re not the strongest, but their numbers… it’s crazy, the amount coming through the portal break, and we still haven’t dealt with the first one we’ve seen yet.”
From outside in the courtyard, they could hear the shouting that was occurring, and right after, the roof broke off from the building. Tiles went flying in the air and then slid off the roof itself before crashing onto the ground.
Right after, their eyes were glued to the rooftop like a volcanic eruption, as they could see hordes of beasts pouring out from the top. They were climbing down and heading for the rest of the academy, while some were coming from the courtyard.
The doors from the Red Headband sleeping quarters burst open, with a beast flying out from the doors, and now those from outside could witness what was going on from within, seeing the students fighting back against the creatures that had broken out from the portal, doing their best to attack them.
“Something serious is going on right now!” Simyon stated. “We need to make sure Safa and Raze are safe.”
“Make sure they’re safe!” Liam replied, running after Simyon. “You know, when I see something like this, I can’t help but believe that he might have been involved, so I’m pretty sure he’s safe.”
he’s safe.”
Dame was playing guard for both Safa and Raze, especially with him in his state. They were slowly moving out of the building, only attacking those that came toward them and were aiming for the courtyard.
While doing this, he couldn’t help but think about what Raze had done.
‘I knew something was up. That day when the portal had opened up, I had an inkling about this. He can create portals that lead to other dimensions; he can create portals that lead to other areas on the continent.
‘And when he told Safa to do what she did, he knew that it would cause a portal break. With a portal break, it wouldn’t be unusual to state that the Physicians had died, and the same with the instructor.’
‘It was the perfect cover-up, the perfect excuse for no one to ask any questions. Because no one would be able to believe that a portal break was possible.’
It made Dame start to wonder about all portal breaks. Were they done by those like Raze, those who weren’t really from their world? Maybe it was the Pagna martial artists who were ignorant of the real things that were going on everywhere.
‘I will say one thing though, I like your style, with a portal break being activated within the academy. I’m sure you have a lot of ways to take down this academy.’
The fighting had spread, and the beasts had entered the open air courtyard, and were now breaking down and infiltrating the other headband bases; the fighting was occurring all over.
Seeing the number and level of the beasts, it didn’t take long for others to react. Before the beasts had infiltrated the Yellow Headband group fully, Gunther had landed and swung his two blades, slicing through around four of the beasts on each side, killing them on the spot.
As for the Red Headband band base, where the portal had even started, landing down in the courtyard, Dame, Raze, and Safa were staring at a figure that lightly touched the ground with his feet. With his long dark ponytail hair, the Principal had arrived.
