Chapter 257 Ray's Solution To Food Scarcity
Along the Academy Hallways littered with blood and intestines, walked a team of nine students as they carried heavy bags on their back.
Their bodies were covered in blood and dust as the aura of immense bloodlust gathered around them. They looked at their surroundings warily and had their hands on their weapons at all times.
They walked and walked until they reached a large building painted in white. The outer walls were stained with blood as a group of students were standing guard.
“Who is it? Stop right there,” The students shouted as they pointed their weapons at the incoming students.
This was the infirmary and the students standing guard were part of the team that Ray had previously set for observing the situation around the infirmary.
As for the leader of the team, it was a member from Nia’s group and Ray had even added a member from his team in there to keep things in check and that was Kid.
“Hey, it’s us,” Jason said and waved his hand.
“Oh… Hey Jason. How was the expedition?” Asked the student on guard as he put his weapon down upon recognizing James.𝓷𝑜𝒱𝓔𝐿𝗇𝓮xt.𝑐𝐎𝓜
“Let us through first,” Jason said and walked ahead.
“Yeah… come on in,” The student waved his hand as the others also lowered their guard.
As Jason and the others started walking, Kid suddenly appeared. His eyes emitted a cold his as he raised his hands and shouted,
“Stop right there,”
“What happened kid?” the student on guard frowned. He had rarely seen Kid act like this. Instead, he knew that Kid was a quite person and didn’t jump to conclusions nor did he have a beef with anyone.
“That isn’t the team that went out,” Kid said as he stomped his feet on the ground. A pillar of ice rose into the air as a vague shadow formed behind him.
Gusts of cold wind surged as Kid’s eyes turned red. Frost covered his feet as he roared into the sky.
“Roargggghhhh,” His body expanded and aura changed. It became much more fearless and it seemed as if a predator had appeared.
“Leave,” Kid roared at the incoming party.
“Hehe…” The person imitating Jason giggled.
“What is happening?” All this while, the student guard just looked at everything in confusion. If seeing Kid show such strength was a surprise, James changing into someone else was even more so.
“Jason” body changed as he grew taller, his skin sunk inwards as his body became weak to the point that it seemed that he would be blown away by the wind.
“Ring the emergency bell,” Kid shouted at the student at guard.
“Yes,” The student subconsciously nodded and ran back to the huge bell hanging above the infirmary entrance.
“Ring….Ringgg….Ringg…” The bell chimed thrice as it’s voice alerted everyone at the infirmary.
“Now, all of you. Show your real face,” Kid said. An axe appeared in his hands. The axe was made of ice as its sharp edges released a frosty aura that froze the surroundings completely.
“Hehe… it’s no use to us anyways,” Said the one who had transformed into Jason said as he giggled eerily.
His hands elongated as they turned into two sharp blades. Kicking the ground, he disappeared and appeared above Kid as he slashed at him.
“Bangg…” Kid put his axe in front as he blocked the attack.
The force of the attack pushed him back as Kid tapped the ice pillar with his heels and extended the ice pillar further.
Frost gathered around his knee as Kid sneered. Stomping the ice pillar, he extended it further upwards and jumped in the air. Doing a backflip in the air, he thrust his knee forward as a sharp icicle formed over it.
“Spurttt…” A line of blood appeared over the strange man’s face as he looked at Kid with anger burning in his eyes.
“I won’t leave you,” The man shouted. His eyes turned yellow. His body grew longer and sleeker. It seemed as if he was a stick with sharp edges all over.
“Just what is it?” Kid thought to himself as he saw a sharp blade coming at him.
“Hmph…” Hacking the axe horizontally, Kid tried to break the blade but to no extent. The blade was hard as it could be. Instead, Kid felt his arms tremble from the force behind the attack.
“Huh?” Kid’s eyes constricted. Throwing the hammer on the ground, he put his hand sideways as an icicle was shot outwards.
“Clanckkk…” The icicle hit something hard as it was deflected by someone.
Kid extended his other hand outwards as well. His eyes seemed to be ablaze as he shot out another icicle but even that was deflected. However, Kid didn’t stop. He kept on shooting icicles as they were deflected one after another.
“F*ck… they have all joined the fight,” He cursed and started retreating. Every second or so, blades were slashed at him as he tried to dodge them and counter attacked as well.
“Awoooooooo,” Starting to lose hope, Kid was about to use his full power when he heard the how of a wolf.
In the middle of the infirmary, a pair of yellow eyes opened up as they looked in the direction of the fight.
“So they are here,” A coarse voice spoke as a person stood up. Hair seemed to be growing out of his body she seemed to be changing. Fangs extended out of his face as his claws extended further as a dark shadow covered the whole room.
The shadows around him swirled as they bowed down under his command. The shadows converged as the man disappeared into the shadows.
Outside the infirmary, Kid sighed. He wasn’t afraid anymore. He could use his power freely without any care now.
“Hehe… it’s been quite some time since I got the chance to use it,” He chuckled.
A strange insanity appeared over his face as he looked at the man resembling a stick and felt pity for him. After all, the man was going to face one of the most dangerous onslaughts to ever exist.
“Roarggghhhh,” Cold wind was stirred as Kid was covered in frost. His body enlarged. His muscles tensed up and bulged.
Looking down at the men staring at him, Kid laughed like a maniac. Raising his hand, the frost surged and gathered as a blade was formed.
It had crooked edges and a large surface. The frost condensed further as the tip was formed and shone a dangerous glint. Slowly, the blade was completed as it took the shape of a Giant Bastard Sword.
“Hmmm…” Kid seemed to contemplate the blade as he looked at it. He felt something missing. His eyes lit up as he finally remembered what he was missing.
It was missing blood.
Yes, that’s what Kid needed. He needed to swathe the sword with blood and what better time than now. He had a whole team to butcher.
His bloodlust increased as the redness of his eyes surged. Looking down at the people invading, Kid laughed again and stomped his feet on the pillar of ice.
The pillar of ice cracked as icicles were released from it. Jumping down, he raised the sword above his head and slashed it down at the ground.
“Bangggg!!” A huge shockwave burst through as the ground was torn open from the force.
Dust rose as two red eyes gleamed in the blurry environment. Kid looked at everyone and started running. His huge figure made it hard to be sleek and fast but it didn’t matter.
The others weren’t able to move. His aura was just too intimidating.
On the other hand, shadows gathered outside the infirmary gate as they condensed to form a figure.
It was Sirius and he was in his transformed form. His body as covered in fur, his eyes were yellow as the aura of an Alpha surrounded him.
Looking at Kid rampaging up ahead, he smiled and kicked the ground. His figure blurred as he disappeared. Appearing besides Kid, he glanced at him as Kid glanced back.
They both nodded at each other as Sirius took to right while Kid slashed at left.
“Boooommm….” Kid slashed with such force that the sword broke the sound barrier. Multiple after images were formed as the person on the other end was unable to figure out what was coming at him.
“Spurttt…” Even though it lacked finesse, the attack smashed the person into multiple pieces as the sticky figure as obliterated completely and only dark brownish mush was left behind.
Within minutes, both of them had singlehandedly annihilated the nine person team as they stood in the middle of the carnage with maniacal smiles on their faces.
“That was fun,” Sirius laughed. He felt greater than ever, it had been such a long time since he last fought with such destructive moves.
Turning to look at Kid, he asked, “What about you? I never thought that you fight with such brutal moves. Weren’t you more of an assassin type who used daggers?”
“Hehe… that was before,” Kid laughed. His voice was hoarse and thick as he was still in his transformed form.
“By the way, what is this ability of yours?” Sirius asked.
“A Yeti. The only one on this plane,” Kid replied. His expression had turned serious all of a sudden as a dark glint shone in his eyes.
“Okay, calm down,” Sirius said.
“Hmmm…” Kid nodded and suppressed the urge to kill. If not for Sirius standing before him, he would have gone on a rampage and might have even attacked the infirmary.
It was strange for him. Kid didn’t even know what would happen and destruction would be everywhere. That too within seconds.
His body gradually turned to normal as the frost receded and the dangerous aura around him was gone.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you,” Sirius said, “Ray contacted me. He is on his way and has found a way to combat the issue regarding food scarcity. He says that he has found a wonderful alternative,”
