Chapter 293 - Power unleashed
Chapter 293 - Power unleashed
Bliss and Van were outside with the rest of the students peacefully waiting. The young professor Flynn had decided to come over to ask Bliss for advice. He knew she was a top student and had good insight when it came to these sorts of things.
"Do you think we have travelled far enough?" Flynn asked. "Perhaps we should turn and head in another direction."
"To be honest, even though I said moving might be our best option, looking at the students now I see I made a mistake," Bliss replied. "They can't handle it, the travelling is too stressful for them. We can either stay here or head back to where we originally started and wait for the other group to find us."
The fact that Nes, and Springett wasn't with them, most likely meant they were in their own group out there somewhere. They had a lot stronger fighters on their team than their current group. Bliss felt like the best thing would to wait for them to journey out and find them.
"Energy blast!"
Just then, a loud explosion was heard. As Bliss and Flynn turned their head, they could see a student with their palm out looking at something horrifying.
"What is that?"
"It looks like a skinless spider?"
"Have you ever seen a spider that big, it's the same size as a small dog. That's obviously a beast."
Just then though, out form the houses that surrounded the centre area. Spiders started coming out from them one by one. At first, there weren't many but soon more and more followed.
A girl screamed in fear as she fired out energy blast after energy blast, but then the Spiders had seen her as a target and fired out Red goo tying up her hands and a few moments later she was dead eaten alive.
"Everyone around the well!" Bliss shouted.
The group quickly did as Bliss said with their back towards the well. Each of them firing at the creatures. This way all their backs were covered and they only needed to focus on their front.
The problem was the Red goo, with them all close together, the students feared they had no room to dodge and had just made themselves into a big target.
"Don't worry about that," Bliss said as if she could read the student's thoughts. she then pulled out a wand from behind her waist and started to close her eyes to concentrate.
As the spiders got closer to the students, they fired the red goo from their behind.
"Energy blast."
Just then from her wand, four energy blasts were released, each one hitting the red goo and knocking them away.
"You guys kill the damn things, I'll stop the goo from hitting us."
However, Bliss was only able to protect half of the students from the goo, she didn't have eyes on the back of her head and it was nearly impossible for the students behind.
As goo was shoot out at them, suddenly, a lightning strike came out hitting the pieces of goo and burning them to a crisp.
"I will protect you."
As the students looked up they could see that Blake had made a path from the outside directly to the students. A path of dead spiders.
With the protection of Blake and Bliss the group was faring well. The other students would continue to fire and kill the beast all incept one.
"Hey, are you going to do nothing again!" Blake shouted at Van. "Are you going to let us all die, like you did Amy. I know you might be scared but do something."
But unknown to everyone there, he couldn't, if he did, they would be in worse trouble then they were in now.
The group continued to fend off the spiders successfully, but they were quickly getting tired. Bliss had finally missed one of the red goo's and it had hit a student right in the face, covering her eyes.
"I can't see, I can't see, where am I!" She cried.
The student standing next to her could see the spiders now incredibly close, he was now the only one shooting energy blast at the Spiders. They now started to concentrate around his area. He looked at the blind student.
"I'm sorry." He then pushed her into the group of spiders and started firing his energy blast at her body as the spiders climbed on top of her.
"How could you do that, she's one of us." Bliss complained, "But as she looked up another army of spiders were quickly emerging again.
"I can't keep this up, there's nothing we can do."
And just then Blake too had run out of energy.
As Van looked at the already two dead students on the floor, and the spiders getting closer and closer he was left with no choice. If he didn't use his powers now, they would all die anyway.
Van then held out both of his hands in two directions, he concentrated his mind.
"Breakthrough!"
Van's hair was now floating, an aura could be seen around him.
"You can breakthrough!" Bliss said surprised, it was something even she hadn't achieved yet and Van was still only a lower class.
"Burst!"
As soon as Van spoke those words, a loud popping noise was heard. Then there was silence, no longer where their sounds of beast's legs scurrying and coming over to them, that was because every single one of the spiders had exploded and all that was left behind was there black blood.
***
At the same time in different places, something had happened as soon as Van had used his powers. Max and the others who were riding on top of Noir. She had felt the strong magical energy and suddenly changed the direction she was heading.
"I think she found something!" Max said.
Ray who had finished killing the lion had felt it too.
"What was that? It like something is calling to me."
And finally, inside one of the fortresses of the shadow continent. An old man with a robe above his head, his eyes suddenly opened as he felt something jolt inside him.
"it's finally here."
