Chapter 144 An Horrible Invasion
The red light started to get brighter, and in an instant, all the books covering Kye were burned down.
"What's that?"
The light came from under Kye's shirt. It was glowing and it looks like a symbol started to appear on it.
*Kiaaaaargh*
The monster seems to whin in pain as tried to hide away from the light. Kye could see it behind shelves as he was trying to get farther away from the light.
'No, I can't leave it alone!' He readied himself and decided to think about the light later on. He couldn't let the monster escape or more people would die without a doubt.
Kye started to chase after the monster, his heart racing with adrenaline. The light seemed to make him more vigorous.
He could hear the creature's heavy footsteps echoing through the aisles as it tried to escape from him. Kye was determined to catch it, no matter what.
As he ran through the library, Kye noticed that the monster was leaving a trail of destruction in its way. Books were ripped from shelves and tossed aside, and furniture was overturned in its path. It was clear that the creature couldn't care anymore about what was around it and wanted only one thing: escape from the light Kye's body was emanating.
Kye caught sight of the monster up ahead, its back turned towards him as it tried to escape through a window on the ceiling. Kye flapped his wings and quickly came behind the monster. He knew that he had to act fast. Kye pulled out Lightbringer and swung it toward the monster, determined to take it down.
The monster turned around just in time to see Kye coming at it with his magnificent sword. It let out a deafening roar and lunged toward him, its razor-sharp claws bared.
Kye dodged the monster's attack and slashed at it with his sword. Strangely enough, the red light swirled around the blade and flame started to burn the bug.
*Kiaarrghhhhhh*
The monster roared in pain and cut its shoulder before the flames could go further. However, while he did so, Kye's blade made contact with the creature's other arm, causing it to let out a pained howl. The light moved once again and started to burn the bug again.
Nonetheless, Kye didn't stop there. He lunged forward again and again, each time striking the monster with his sword. The creature tried to fight back fiercely, but Kye refused to give up. He was determined to defeat it, no matter the cost.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Kye landed a final blow on the monster. The creature let out a final scream before collapsing onto the ground, motionless.
Kye stood there for a moment, panting heavily, Lightbringer still in his hand, covered with green blood. He had done it. He had defeated the monster.
[The quest has been accomplished]
[Instant level up]
Kye was now level 10 again. He thought he would have to undergo another transformation, but thankfully it didn't happen.
Once his head was cleared a little, he lifted up his shirt and saw the symbol on his chest shining. It was the symbol of a phoenix. The friend seal Ras gave him when he met him with Aria.
'Did I unlock the fire attribute of Ras?' Kye thought in shock. He never expected it to be so quick, yet it awakened itself when he needed it the most. If this burning fire wasn't present, he wouldn't have been able to cut down the monster.
"I should thank him for the next time I see him." Kye smiled as he remembered the kind Ras.
As he was about to retract his wings and get back to his human self, he suddenly heard noises coming down from the broken window.
He flew toward it, and the scene unfolding in front of his eyes was disastrous.
Monsters.
There were hundreds of monsters like the one he had fought just a moment ago killing the other students. The fire started to spread in the building because the monster destroyed part of it. He could see blood on the concrete and people fighting the monsters.
'No don't tell me..." Kye rushed outside the library and flew as fast as he could.
He had sent his friends to search for help earlier. But if the situation outside was worse than here, then they were in greater danger. "Please tell me they are alive." He prayed as he take right and left turns to go outside the building.
His eyes kept scanning the hallways to try and find them, but he could only see the students' shocked faces as they saw him.
However, he couldn't care less about them right now. Even if he had to reveal his identity, he wouldn't mind as he needed to find his friends as quickly as possible.
ye flew faster and faster, his heart pounding with fear and worry for his friends. He could hear the sounds of battle in the distance, and he knew that he had to get there as soon as possible.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Kye reached the entrance of the building. However, he had the impression his eyes were tricking him.
He didn't find his friends yet, however, there were so many dead students on the ground that his heart pound loudly.
"W-what happened?" He said under his breath, and as if to answer him, the same giant bug from earlier flew toward him and tried to attack him.
Kye looked at it briefly before cutting its body in two with a single slash embodied by Ras' friend's seal.

The message of the system couldn't reach his ears as Kye started to get anxious. He knew his friends were strong, but deep down, he felt like there was a problem. Earlier when they flew after his order, they were all exhausted.
And if they were to fight under such a state, then they would...
Kye couldn't believe in what he was thinking and didn't want to finish his sentence.
"Please help me!"
Kye was brought out of his thought as a girl was being chased by another type of insect. It had a giant body and eight giant legs.
Kye gulped down seeing such a disgusting spider but still went to protect the girl.
He flew down toward the spider and managed to cut off its two front legs.
*Hiahhhhhhhh*
The giant spider growled in pain and stared at Kye with bloodshot eyes. It was ready to rush toward him when Kye suddenly threw a cosmic arrow toward the monster.
The latter was surprised and thought it was a normal arrow and didn't try to dodge it, yet the moment it was touched by the arrow, it was torn apart and burnt down into ashes

Once Kye received the notification, he turned around to face the crying girl he had just saved.
"Do you know what happened?" Kye asked her in a hurried voice, but the girl was too in awe to answer. She was blinded by the angel's beauty in front of her. She was so blinded that she fainted.
"Useless." Kye said under his breath before taking the girl and evacuating to a safer area. He then returned back but was met with an even fiercer situation.
"Why are we so pushed back by the monsters?" Kye stared at the field. Since he was in the sky, he had a clear view of what was happening around them. The military's staff was being pushed back, and if it continue this way, it was only a matter of time before their side will lose.
*Phewwww* 𝒇𝐫e𝑒𝔀𝒆𝚋no𝐯𝘦𝘭. c𝑜𝗺
Suddenly, Kye's ears rang loudly as he felt an ominous feeling.
The moment he turned around, he could see a spear flying straight at him. It was so fast that it traveled the distance quickly.
Even though Kye managed to see the spear in time, he didn't have the speed to block it. It came so quickly that it was frightening.
So frightening that the spear was already in front of Kye's face.
At this moment, numerous thoughts traveled through Kye's head.
Who attacked him? Was it strong? Would he win against such a being? Would he even survive the spear coming at him? Would he...? Would he...?
And at that moment, Kye's vision was completely covered.
