There were a lot of questions in his mind, but the priority remained. They needed to deal with this terrorist in one way or another.
"Gaelion." Gaelion hopped on top of Rhys's head to get a better view. "22 people, only 10 of them are humans." "You can speak?" Riva was startled for a second before shaking her head. "That doesn't matter. Can you identify them? Find all the humans!" Gaelion smirked and inhaled as much air as possible and held it on his belly. After that, he let out a cute roar befitting his current form. "Waaf!" Despite such a cute roar, Riva's felt an intense killing intent that made her feel like she was just a prey before him. "Those who don't stop are humans!" "!!!" Riva snapped back, realizing that precisely ten people continued moving as if they were completely unaffected by it. With a wave of her hand, a strong gale flowed toward four terrorists: two humans and two familiars. The two familiars were clasping their hands. The left side formed a wall made of rock, while the other one created a curtain of water. The rock managed to block the gale completely, but the water curtain got pushed back, albeit didn't completely crumble. However, this was just a distraction. A bow appeared out of thin air as she aimed at the human that these two familiars protected. The moment she released her arrow, it flew so fast that it created a small shock wave behind it. The arrow pierced through the curtain of water and disintegrated the human's head. As if realizing her power, two other familiars halted their steps. A firebird flew off the hand of one of them. Meanwhile, the other familiar rushed with an axe. Riva clapped her hand as a burst of wind expanded in all directions, neutralizing the firebird. However, the muscular familiar closed the gap between them and swung his big axe. She extended her hand to the axe, forming a swirling wind that the axe couldn't cut. "!!!" The muscular familiar was shocked, never expecting that there would be such a strong familiar right at the front gate. However, there were still several people around the main gate. "Kyaaa!" "Help!" Two students screamed from the right side, which slightly distracted her. She had to save them, but at the same time, she had to protect Rhys. The situation went from bad to worse the moment she sensed a clash on the opposite side. "Blood Spear." 'That's the girl from the Ashton family.' Riva bit her lips. She waved her other hand, trying to hit the muscular familiar with her bow, but to no avail. The muscular familiar blocked it with its big arm, stopping her completely. Meanwhile, Maeve was getting attacked by a familiar. She had summoned her own familiar, who happened to be a woman with bat wings on her back. Three spears made of blood floated around her as she shot them one by one to stop the familiar charge. This unknown familiar was as big as the one that attacked Riva, but there was a pair of bull horns on top of its head, which couldn't be completely covered. The blood spears hit the charging familiar as the latter smashed it one by one, gradually closing the gap between them. The vampire's eyes turned bloodshot as it waved both hands at the same time. All of a sudden, a tornado appeared on each hand, pinching the familiar from two sides. The familiar actually caught the blood tornadoes with its bare hands. "!!!" The vampire tried to apply more pressure, but the enemy was the one gaining an upper hand. At the same time, there was a man's voice echoing from behind them. "Got you, little girl!" The vampire was distracted by that voice since it must be the enemy. Now that she lost control over her tornadoes, the enemy familiar ripped apart the blood tornadoes. "Moo!" The familiar charged at full speed. At the same time, the enemy human grabbed SelMana from behind. "Let go of me!" Maeve struggled as she was being dragged away. "Maeve!" The vampire turned around, only to find Rhys coming from the side and punching the guy in the face. On the opposite side, Gaelion had pounced on the familiar and bit the back of the familiar's neck before tearing it with his sharp teeth. The blood spurted off from the back of its neck as the familiar fell down. The vampire wanted to take down the human, but Rhys pointed his finger at the muscular familiar that kept Riva in check. "Help her!" The vampire hesitated for a second, but Rhys looked at her with a sincere gaze as if telling her that Maeve would be fine. The vampire noticed that both the man and the familiar didn't manage to react to their attacks as if everything went according to their plan. It was as if these two were waiting for the right time where the enemies didn't suspect an attack to take them down. The vampire chose to trust Rhys this time and turned around, pointing her palm at the muscular familiar. Multiple bats made of blood emerged from her palm and flew toward the muscular familiar. They bit the muscular familiar, which caused him to get distracted a little bit. Seeing the gap in his defense, Riva spun her body and sent a back kick on the familiar's stomach. The wind burst out the moment of impact, pushing the familiar back. With such a distance, Riva turned around and aimed her arrow at whatever the enemy left around Rhys, only to find him pointing his finger at the girls that were about to be kidnapped by the terrorists. Riva hurriedly turned around and shot one of the terrorists. When she was about to take down the second one, the muscular familiar approached her again. This time, she didn't fight alone. Two blood tornadoes flew toward the muscular familiar. It didn't push him back like Riva's kick, but it forced the familiar to halt and block them. As a result, Riva managed to shoot the second terrorist, saving the two girls. After that, she formed an arrow with more Mana than the previous shots, aiming it at the muscular familiar. Out of desperation, the muscular familiar pushed its axe to the very limit, breaking free from the blood tornadoes. After that, he slashed downwards to chop the arrow that came straight to his head. To his surprise, the arrow actually curved as if avoiding the axe. It then returned to its original trajectory and obliterated the head. Even though she had neutralized the immediate threat, Riva immediately turned around and saw the human terrorist trying to beat Rhys from behind. The vampire was taken aback, wanting to help but too late. Maeve didn't even realize what was currently happening. There was Mana gathered in that fist, so Rhys would definitely be heavily injured if that fist hit him. Yet Rhys just smiled. "You are a clever brat… if you are normal." Gaelion's voice echoed as he leaped into the air and snapped the human's neck with his powerful jaws.Latest Chapter

“So this man is the Dragon King.” Rhys kept that thought in his head while trying to steady his breathing. The pressure coming from the man in front of him felt instinctive, like standing too close to a predator that had already decided whether you were worth ignoring or crushing. Still, Rhys forced himself to relax his shoulders, then gave a proper bow.“It’s an honor to meet you, sir Dragon King. I’m Rhys, disciple of the Forest Queen Wyndia.”He reached into his pocket and handed over the letter of recommendation. “This is the principal’s letter.”The Dragon King took it, a faint smile forming as he looked at Rhys. Even though Rhys’s hands were clearly unsteady, he had managed to pull himself back together quickly.Maeve, standing beside him, followed his lead after a short pause.The Dragon King tilted his head slightly. “Since you’re here, I assume you’ve agreed to my conditions?”“About that…” Rhys scratched the back of his head.The Dragon King’s eyes narrowed just a little, hi

“This is Fern City,” Maeve muttered while her gaze moved across the surroundings, trying to take everything in at once. The place felt unlike any city she had seen before.It was a strange blend of civilization and living nature. Massive trees rose high into the sky, and at different heights, houses were built directly into their trunks and branches. Wooden bridges and rope ladders connected everything together, forming a network between the treetops. On the ground level, between the roots of those enormous trees, stood sturdier brick buildings and stone structures.Most of the buildings were simple box-like shapes, but that simplicity allowed people from many different races to live there without issue.A man with cat ears ran across one of the wooden bridges. A group of harpies relaxed on thick branches overhead, chatting casually. Humans and other races stood together along the streets, some talking, others drinking as if they had known each other for years.“This is a place where

Just as Wyndia had predicted, news about Rhys spread quickly. It didn’t stay within the academy for long. Nobles began talking, then entire regions, and soon even other kingdoms had heard his name.Among all of them, the one who reacted the most was the king of the Virelith Kingdom, Julian Roderick.After more than forty years on the throne, Julian carried himself with the calm presence of a ruler who had seen everything. He sat alone in the quiet hall, his crown resting steadily on his head, a faint smile forming on his lips as he spoke."Did you hear that, Cage? Your daughter lost to a freshman."Standing nearby was Cage Harold, vice captain of the royal guard and one of the finest swordsmen in the kingdom. Despite his position, his appearance remained gentle, almost unassuming. His hand rested lightly on the hilt of his sword as he bowed his head slightly."My apologies, Your Majesty. My daughter has disappointed you."Even so, his posture didn’t change much. His hand never left hi

“So you felt that much pain…” Wyndia nodded slowly, as if the result matched something she had already expected. She looked at him for a moment before asking, “How long did it take before you passed out?”“I didn’t,” Rhys replied, shaking his head. “I stayed conscious the whole time.”Inside, he couldn’t help but think about all those cultivation stories he had read. In those, losing consciousness usually meant failure, sometimes even death. That idea had stuck with him, so he forced himself to endure everything without letting go, no matter how bad it got.Wyndia’s reaction caught him off guard. She actually looked surprised. “You didn’t pass out?”“Yeah. Is that a problem?” Rhys frowned slightly.Instead of answering right away, Wyndia walked over to the blackboard and picked up a diagram of the human body. She tapped the illustration near the mouth with her pointer.“When you swallow a core, it dissolves and turns into Mana,” she began. “That Mana flows into your body. As you alrea

“Aaaahhhh!” The scream tore out of Rhys before he could even think to hold it back. He had braced himself for discomfort. When he absorbed a Common class core before, the sensation had been unpleasant, sharp enough to make him grit his teeth, but still manageable. This time, he expected something worse along the same line. What he got instead was pain so intense it didn’t even feel real. His eyes rolled upward until only the whites showed, his body jerking as it arched off the bed. A moment later, he collapsed back down and began thrashing, his hands clawing at his chest. The pain centered there, tight and suffocating, as if the core had lodged itself in his throat and refused to move. It wasn’t a normal kind of pain. He had been stabbed before and endured it. That had been brutal, but this was different. This felt like something was tearing him apart from the inside, piece by piece. The scream that came out of him now was raw and uncontrolled, louder than anything he had let out
Chapter 107
“I got you!” The words came out through clenched teeth, almost like a dare thrown at death itself. For a split second, Anubis and Gaelion could only stare, both of them realizing just how far Rhys had gone with this plan. It wasn’t just risky anymore. It crossed into something reckless, something that could have easily gotten him killed if even a single step went wrong. The alien reacted immediately, trying to jerk its blade free. It twisted and forced the weapon up and down, then tried to pull it back altogether, but Rhys held on with everything he had. His hands refused to loosen their grip, even as the strain tore through his body. Seeing that it couldn’t free the blade, the alien made a quick decision. Its other arm shifted, forming a second blade meant to finish Rhys off in one clean strike. Before it could act, Gaelion lunged forward without hesitation and clamped his jaws down on that arm. The alien hadn’t expected that kind of interference. Gaelion tore into it with brutal
