With the pair of shadowy wings behind him making near soundless flaps, Aiden's gaze tilted downward, in search of the origin of the massively released surge of energy."That.." suddenly recognizing the volatile and berserk nature of the released surge of energy, a look of shock appeared across Aiden's face. "Overdrive transformation!" "I have to admit, I did not expect you to counter my Blut Grenze technique, considering I did not hold back this time." as this sentence left Jean-Bernard's lips, the powerful aura that was previously released, suddenly vanished. Like a black hole, the released aura was completely sucked into Jean-Bernard's body. Hovering above ground level, Aiden's expression went solemn as he witnessed this development. The ability to release one's energy signature and retract it at will. That level of internal energy control was something that not even he could manage. Thanks to the aid of the System, Aiden's energy signature was always concealed twenty-four seven.

Sensing Jean-Bernard's rising dissatisfaction, Henri-Michel calmly continued. "If you join us in the chase, you will only end up holding us back." "You.. bastard! although you might be powerful, you were not appointed as the leader. Cleopatra was!" while lashing out, Jean-Bernard glanced towards the direction of one his fellow Merit Scholars. "Indeed I was appointed as the leader." the Merit Scholar with a rabbit mask acquisced with a small nod. "However I have to agree with Henri-Michel's decision. From what you have proven so far, sticking with us any longer will only prove to be detrimental." ' What?! ' Jean-Bernard momentarily felt his head go blank when he heard Cleopatra's words. She was siding with Henri-Michel?! Although it was not public knowledge, all Merit Scholars knew that there existed some kind of friction between the top two Merit Scholars; Henri-Michel and Cleopatra; among those from the Shaman Department, Henri-Michel was regarded as the undisputable number one

—[!! WARNING !!]—[!! YOUR BLOODLUST GROWS !!]—[Bloodlust: 10/100] "Shit!" once this series of system notifications made their appearance, Aiden released a low cuss. It's been quite some time since he got this notification from the system. Bloodlust. This state had previously been a serious pain in the neck for Aiden when he recently obtained the System. The only cure for this state was through consuming blood . Unfortunately for Aiden, his system in-built blood bank just happened to completely wiped out. ' This is bad! ' with his back kissing the dirt while his bowels were wide open for all to see, Aiden stared blankly at the multicolored skies above him, ignoring the drop of blood that was currently drawing a trail down his lips. With his HP nearly halved, stamina currently at zero and hid blood bank completely empty, the arrival of the bloodlust state caused despair to take root in Aiden's heart — adding the unknown Fiend Beast that had just attacked him, Aiden had no idea ho

Although information regarding Fiend Beasts past the Spirit Beast level was not included in the learning curriculum for freshmen students back at Nightshade Academy, Aiden was currently an Exchange Student at Three Crowns Institute as well as in possession of the Blood Monarch's memories. This was why he knew that what he was currently battling was not the true form of the King-Scaled Vasuki. According to what Aiden recalled reading back when he spent days 'buried' inside the library at the main campus of Three Crowns Institute, Feind Beasts were capable of unlocking a unique transformation once they reached the Demon Beast level. In addition to developing sentience, it was said that Demon Beasts were capable of achieving humanoid form. However, Demon Beasts in humanoid form could be easily recognized by the unique bone mask that was wrapped across their face. If a Fiend Beast had a bone mask that was completely covering their entire head or face, that meant they had just recently

—[Temporary Counter Measure Obtained; Arash Arrow ] Following this system notification, Aiden sensed a sudden eruption of volatile energy materialize in front of him, condensing into an arrow. Possessing a golden colored sheen, the mere presence of the arrow resulted in a resplendent burst of golden brilliance. The sheer intensity of the halo being exuded from the arrow easily rivaled that of the sun. Before the brilliant halo, the surrounding death Qi in the surrounding area of over a hundred meters barely put up any resistance before they were instantly vaporized. Weng! Suddenly adopting the properties of a makeshift blackhole, the halo of golden brilliance were suddenly sucked into the golden colored halo — the sheer concentration resulted in the tip of the halo pulsating with small strands of golden colored lightning. Fwoomb! Without warning, the golden arrow streaked towards the sky like a shooting star. The speed at which it moved was over a dozen times greater than light
