The Devil's Trail Reappears Chapter 22: The Wind Fades and the Rain Disperses
The blast of the explosion swept through the Academy.
Near the center of the explosion, trees were bent and then broken, and finally shattered and disappeared, large swaths of buildings collapsed like dominoes, bricks and tiles flew to pieces, and continuous screams rang out in the area near the college, one after another, figures emerged from the broken and dilapidated buildings, wandering.
Directly below the center of the explosion, in an instant, a hemispherical crater was impacted, and the lake adjacent to it was cut off by the waist, half of the lake water vaporized on the spot, and the remaining lake water overflowed the gap and poured into the huge crater.
In all directions, the flames soared into the sky, and the whole scene was like hell on earth.
"I said ......" the dean stopped in flight, looked at the direction of the explosion, and muttered to himself, "you have to pay!"
The dean withdrew his gaze, no longer staying, and continued to fly out of the academy. Not far away, an incomparably huge palm appeared out of thin air and pressed down towards the dean.
"I've done so many good things......" was the voice of the Great Elder, rolling like thunder, like a heavenly might, "Do you still want to go?"
The giant palm grabbed the dean and clenched it fiercely.
However, a shadow flowed out of the giant palm like liquid, and then one shattered, turning into countless black filaments, shooting out in all directions.
"I'm leaving......" The dean's voice came from every strand of black filament, and it was impossible to tell the specific source, "no one can stop it!"
"Wishful thinking...... "The Great Elder's voice sighed. With a wave of the giant palm, almost half of the black silk filaments disappeared on the spot. The giant palm swung again, and nearly half of the black filaments were wiped out.
But there are still a few black filaments that are spared, and they are about to flee the academy in an instant. At this moment, four figures rose into the air from the four directions of the academy, facing the flying black filaments.
"'Four Envoys of the Holy Guard'!" the dean's voice came from the black filament, startled and angry, "Hugh is going to stop me!"
The four figures didn't say a word, they flickered in a roundabout way, and directly wiped out all the remaining black filaments.
......
In the distance, the Great Elder conjured up a giant palm that gradually dimmed and dissipated. The four figures, known as the "Four Envoys of the Holy Guard" by the Dean, turned back and flew towards the location of the center of the explosion - they still had something to do!
......
No one noticed that a strand of black filaments as delicate as a hair had just been attracted by the other fleeing black filaments just now, and it instantly burrowed into the ground and disappeared in a flash.
......
The next morning, the sun slowly rises over the horizon, unveiling the old night's sleep. With refreshing warmth, the sun shines on the world, as usual. The sky is like a huge dome covering the whole earth, blue and pure, and it cleanses people's hearts. A few flawless white clouds wander in the sky, fluttering and light, like a new tulle.
The morning breeze is melodious, sending a fresh breath, and everything looks so beautiful.
However......
Full-time college, but overnight, underwent a drastic change!
It was a sleepless night, and the college was in turmoil. Originally, the Grand Elder instructed the chief law enforcement officer and the chief judge to secretly eradicate the president, and the matter was not publicized. As a result, almost the entire academy has witnessed this incident with their own eyes, to a greater or lesser extent! Some of the students have even paid the price with their lives in this accident.
The area near the island in the middle of the lake was completely blocked by the academy, and from a distance, I could only vaguely see a piece of scorched earth, broken walls, and no life. In those areas that have been affected to a certain extent but are relatively not serious, the academy's mage teams have come and gone one after another to carry out aid and restoration work.
The haze is pressing on the hearts of every student!
When he returned to his room after yesterday's match, he was completely restored by the academy's mage. He lived far from the island in the middle of the lake, and was not affected by the explosion last night, and the loud sound of the explosion did not wake him from his sleep.
In yesterday's game, the opponent's abstention allowed Galaxy to advance. Today, Galaxy went to the square as usual, full of hope, to meet his next round!
......
The square, which should have been crowded, was empty, and the eight competition rings stood alone in eight directions of the square. A light breeze blows, and the dust is lifted up and rolled into the distance......
"What's going on?" Faced with such a situation, the second monk of Xinghe was puzzled, "If you don't compete today, you should also notify me......"
Looking around, Xinghe's gaze finally fixed on a corner of the edge of the square. There, a small group of students gathered around, and a notice tablet was faintly seen.
Xinghe was full of doubts and walked forward.
......
Underground, a strand of black filament as thin as a hair swam at a rapid speed, rushing towards the intended destination. It was one of the countless black filaments that the Dean had differentiated, so much so that now its ability was only a trace of the Dean in his heyday, and it could not even restore its human form.
......
In a certain mountain range, a blood-red stone gate stood quietly, exuding a terrifying aura.
A strand of black filament, as thin as a hair, approached here at great speed.
"Who is it?" suddenly came from inside the blood-red stone door.
A river of blood gushed out from inside the stone gate and swept towards the black filaments.
"It's me, it's me!" the black filament said in horror. Exactly the dean.
But the river of blood was deaf to the ear, and it surged one by one, directly submerging the black filaments entirely.
An idea was forced out, rising from the river of blood and gradually crumbling, but when it was dying, the thought was shaken, forcibly pulling out the black filament, completely erasing, and at the same time, the voice came out, "Sure enough, you are the mastermind behind the scenes-True Demon ......" The voice did not fall, and it dissipated!
It was the voice of the Great Elder.
"Interesting......" The voice inside the blood-red stone door seemed to reveal a strange feeling.
The river of blood dispersed and rolled back to the blood-red stone gate, "My puppet, if you want to get rid of it, you can get rid of it......"
In the place of the Blood River, the slightly illusory figure of the dean was revealed—the black filament had not been erased, but had been given the power of its master, and had been able to regain its human form.
"Thank you, master!" said the dean as he bowed down and trembled, "After the division, my strength was too weak to detect the possession ......."
"Master, I'm ......" the dean trembled with great fear.
"Needless to say, this time, when I was enveloping you just now, I already knew it through your mind......" The voice inside the blood-red stone door was low, "Since the other party knows the location here, it will come sooner or later." ”
"What should I do, master, the chess pieces I planted in the full-time academy are now all gone......," the dean's words were half hesitant, "and...... Now my strength ......"
"Hehehehe...... Don't worry, I'll give you more power, I just have an interesting plan in mind!" The blood-red stone door sounded like a beast staring at its prey, "Come on, I'll wait here...... Better have more!"
......
