Chapter 46
The Sharp Knife Squad had just finished mopping up the last of a demon patrol when Rocco spotted two figures descending from the sky. His sword was halfway raised before he recognized them—Marco, and floating beside him with wind magic, the rotund form of Dean Harrison."Dean?!" Rocco's weapon clattered to the ground. Behind him, the exhausted students erupted into cheers."We're saved!""The Dean came for us!""We can finally get out of this hellhole!"Dean Harrison landed gracefully despite his bulk, his face radiating paternal warmth. "My dear students," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "I cannot express how sorry I am for arriving so late. These past days must have been a nightmare for you all."Several students openly wept with relief. A young mage named Jennifer collapsed to her knees, trembling. "We thought... we thought we'd die here.""Never." The Dean's expression turned solemn. "You are the only surviving students of Kensington Academy, and I swear on my honor that I
CHAPTER 45 PART 2
"It's fine." She straightened her shoulders, composing herself. "I should go. My power's mostly restored, and staying near you is dangerous for both of us."She turned to leave, then paused. "One question before I go. Do you want to kill me? Claim the glory of defeating a Hell Sect Vice Hierarch?"Marco's hand tightened on his sword, and for a moment, Lydia thought he might actually draw it. Then he shook his head."Get out of here. Before I change my mind."A genuine smile crossed Lydia's aged face—warm and real. "Thank you, Marco. For everything."She walked away, her form gradually fading into the crimson mist of Hell. Marco watched until she disappeared completely, then cursed under his breath."Why do I keep getting into these situations? I just wanted a simple life with Isabella. Is that too much to ask?"Shaking his head, he headed toward a nearby stream to wash the blood and grime from his body. The water ran black with demon ichor as he scrubbed his skin clean, trying not to
Chapter 45 PART 1
The golden light of Marco's bloodline evolution faded, leaving him standing amid the carnage of shattered demon corpses. His chest heaved with exertion, but power thrummed through every fiber of his being. He could feel it—the fundamental change that had occurred deep within his cells.Marco rolled his shoulders experimentally, feeling the enhanced density of his muscles. The wounds that had covered his body moments ago were already sealed, pink scars the only evidence they'd ever existed."Thank you," he said grudgingly, glancing at Lydia. "For the save."But Lydia wasn't listening. She had moved closer, her eyes roaming over his exposed torso with unabashed fascination. Her fingers reached out to trace the line of his shoulder, following the curve of newly enhanced muscle."Incredible," she breathed, her voice almost reverent. "The way your body has transformed... the density of your musculature, the distribution of power..." Her hand pressed against his chest, feeling his heartbeat

He slammed his sword into the ground. The earth erupted in a massive spray of razor-sharp particles, engulfing all four demons. They screamed, clawing at their eyes as the sand tore into their exposed flesh.Marco was already moving. His blade swept in a devastating arc, catching the first demon across the throat. Black blood sprayed as the creature's head tumbled free. The Darkblood Demon Sword pulsed, and Marco felt a surge of vitality flow into him—the weapon's Blood Drain ability activating.The second demon lunged blindly, claws extended. Marco sidestepped smoothly and drove his blade through its chest, twisting viciously before ripping it free. Two down in as many seconds.The remaining demons, still half-blinded, tried to flee. Marco's lips curled into a savage smile. "War Challenge!"His voice boomed across the battlefield, infused with Fighting Spirit. The skill forced enemies to focus their aggression on him, overriding their survival instincts. Both demons spun and charged
CHAPTER 44 PART 1
Marco pushed through a thicket of twisted hellish vegetation, Lydia trailing behind him with surprising determination for someone who'd nearly died hours ago. The oppressive heat of Hell's atmosphere made every breath feel like inhaling smoke, but Marco had grown accustomed to it over the past days.A sharp whistle cut through the air—three short bursts followed by two long ones.Marco's hand shot up, signaling Lydia to stop. He cupped his hands around his mouth and returned the call: two short, one long, three short.From behind a cluster of obsidian rocks, Rocco emerged, followed by a dozen weary-looking students. His face broke into a genuine smile when he saw Marco."The purple elephant dances at midnight!" Rocco called out.Marco's eyebrow twitched. "The grandmother's socks smell like victory."Rocco visibly relaxed, lowering his weapon. "Thank god. You're really you.""What the hell was that?" Marco asked, shaking his head.Rocco's expression turned grim as they approached. "Cod
CHAPTER 43 PART 2
"Damn right I hit you!" Marco's face burned crimson with embarrassment and rage. "I wake up to find some creepy woman groping me! What's wrong with you?!""Creepy?" Lydia's eyes flashed dangerously despite her weakened state. "I'll have you know I'm—" She caught herself, remembering she needed to hide her identity. "I mean, I wasn't groping you! I was checking if you were alive!""By feeling me up?!" Marco grabbed his discarded shirt and yanked it on furiously. "That's the worst excuse I've ever heard!"Lydia pushed herself to her feet, swaying slightly. "Listen here, you ungrateful brat. I just fell from the sky and nearly died. The least you could do is show some compassion!""You fell on me!" Marco jabbed a finger at her accusingly. "I was minding my own business, taking a bath, and you crashed into me like a damn meteor! I could've died!""Well, excuse me for not controlling my trajectory while falling unconscious from a dimensional rift!" Lydia shot back, her voice dripping with
