Again Asfil was the first to wake up, this time she sat near Mart and told him:
-I'm sorry, I shouldn't impose my whim on you.
-Don't worry, you didn't, I am the leader and given the situation I considered it the best decision.
Mart, who was not sleepy after having seen those notifications, continued stoking the fire.
-What's the matter? You are usually more cheerful. -Asfil expressed after seeing how Mart poked the fire with a deep and distant look.
-Asfil, who are the most talented students in the S class? -This time Mart was direct.
Asfil looked at him and knew Mart wasn't joking, still it was inevitable that the question seemed strange to him, but after several seconds, he answered:
-The student with black hair and blue locks, Nirian Arcaris; Meleic Asfent; Eriant Lizérit; and Sara Veniac; they are four prodigies considered the future of the country"
Hearing that, sent chills through Mart's body. They were 4 prodigies, they were 4 threats, most likely the prodigies were in danger as he and she spoke. Mart looked at Asfil and said firmly and sincerely:
-I need you to trust me, take Selis, and tell Professor Helen that we feel the power of a being in the fifth rank. Just trust me, at least this once.
Be cautious when you return, I don't want to lose them.
After those words Mart walked away and disappeared into the dark distance.
"System, can you detect the source of the 4 signals?"
[Demon system detecting...]
[Demon god energy: at 30 degrees and 4.3 kilometers, from the host's location, run or fly straight ahead]
[Demon god energy: 97 degrees and 5.2 kilometers, from the host's location, run or fly straight ahead]....
Mart infused demonic energy into his eyes, so he could see what was happening ahead, he was running, while the cold, damp night air threatened to destroy the thermal barrier of the coat he was wearing as it was not made to be exposed to constant cold air, after several minutes of running he reached the edge of a ledge and saw an abominable being whose appearance was difficult to distinguish from a distance without using a sufficient amount of demonic energy, but he knew that doing so could expose him, so he just watched and saw a student standing next to the abominable being.
"I knew it, there are infiltrators; it's dangerous, but if I want to change the end of the story, I must risk it, but I will only do it if they are worth it," thought Mart, who continued to watch, all the students who were in danger were standing around a tall, athletic young man with bright green hair neither short nor long, unobtrusive in appearance.
When the abominable being took a step, the green-haired student used demonic spells to fly and accelerate, while escaping he ordered:
-Everyone escape, use whatever resources you have, inform the teachers!
"I can understand you escaping, and even abandoning everyone, because he was the first to escape, but trying to save face by giving directions at the end; maybe my approach is wrong, after all I'm not A class or S class."
Mart did not hesitate, he wanted to go to the next area, but he did not want to let those, but he also knew that without power little he could do, and it was not the place to spend the resources he bought with almost 500 gold coins, in the end he walked away without looking back, in the next area he reached was a valley, he watched stealthily, between some bushes and saw the beautiful Nirian with a purple jewel with gold edges in her hands that created a barrier that protecting her a She y a her five companions from the attacks of the abominable being.
-You thought you were so beautiful, I'm going to ruin your beauty, you pathetic arrogant. Expressed a young, slightly wavy brown-haired, but average looking girl.
"An envious woman," Mart could not help but smile, as he remembered one of her traits, it was obvious that if she had activated three capital traits, she must also have the other four.
-That barrier won't resist much, it would have been better
if you had used its power to escape. -Said the infiltrated student, with malice
and mockery.
Nirian looked at the three mages in his group and the two
warriors, the composition was good, the problem was that the enemy exceeded the
capabilities they possessed.
"Am I going to die here?" Nirian thought with resignation, her hands sweating at the thought of death, a void and chills running through her body, but she didn't want to give up until the end.
Bang!
A deafening roar made them all shudder. The infiltrated student had stopped talking.
Shortly before, Mart had taken out a spiral-shaped metal blade and used the three diagrams, as they were all composed of basic demonic formulas and a few intermediate formulas that served as links to ensure the stability of the spells, it would not be easy to trace unless the enemy was a professional, and that student did not seem like one. When everything was ready, he sighed and thought, "I am a demon, this is the way to survive, I must kill the enemy, help the allies. In the end, it would be best if that thing lost control, that way there would be more chances to escape." Mart took a deep breath, focused on the student, and activated the last of the three diagrams.
The abominable creature began to let out chilling guttural screams. It seemed to have freed itself from the control of the student who lay dead on the cold floor with a wound to her temple.
Thud! Thud!
The abominable creature, with gray skin covered in black spots and yellow lumps, pounded with its four arms on the barrier, which was about to break.
"Who are you?!" exclaimed Nirian, who felt that there was still hope.
Mart, who was watching the events unfold, did not dare to answer, not knowing if this unpleasant-looking creature would attack him. After a few seconds, he took out a notebook, wrote a message on a page, tore it out, and made a paper airplane that he flew around the perimeter of the valley so that it would then head from a place distant from him toward Nirian's group. She let the airplane pass and hurriedly ordered:
"Check it out."
One of the young magicians, with brown hair and beige skin, who was pretty and curvaceous despite not being very tall, read the note, and her expression turned somber and her face paled. Then she said in a trembling voice:
"You must escape, Nirian. You can avenge them if you survive." That's what the note says.
The faces of the six turned somber. Although she knew that fleeing was the right choice, her heart would not allow her to continue living in peace if she did so.
