Chapter 154 - 154 Despair.

It's been several hours since they inspected the items in Soma's possession. Currently, the three of them were exploring the other side of the door, which brought them into this wide hallway that stretched in a straight line filled with intricate paintings that contained a major history along with its unknown text on each wall, accompanying them in their journey.

Soma, as usual, who led ahead, witnessed another massive hole with another hallway and a stairway ascending to the sky stretched in the black path, with a rugged paved stone carved from ancient rocks. The three of them exchanged looks before a sheer determination plastered on their eyes and began to lift their first step to reach the top.

After ascending the stairs, that feels like a long and, at the same time, short. They are currently facing a flat wall with no door and no other passageway, leaving only a huge symbol of a black diamond. Making the three of them stiffen their faces in shock.

"Eh? What happened?".

"...There is no door?".

Hina and Xiao Lian approach the wall, tracing the flat wall and searching for a way for them to pass. Soma, who felt that the situation had worsened, noticed a faint dark light from his left palm, which made the flat wall transform into something magical. The wall began to form an intricate line before it dissipated into thin air, revealing a new room across it.

The three of them walked away to the other room, looking and welcomed by a destroyed place. The air was thick with dust. There was also a lot of small debris from the stone that was once a pillar and walls scattered across the floor.

"What a mess".

"...".

Hina and Xiao Lian looked toward the scene with knitted brows, but also sigh in relieve for they finally found a way out. Soma who stood behind them notice the change that happen to the wall.

"Hm".

The passage behind them began to reform into its original state with a flat wall without decoration, leaving an untraceable path.

"Let's proceed. But, be wary about…".

""...?!"".

"Oink?".

Soma and the girls stiffened their bodies upon catching the familiar snort that came from a bipedal pig reverberating across the room. They turned their sight to the source and found another passage with a flickering light from the torch that reflected huge shadows that loomed over the room they were currently in.

The looming shadow from the torch became much more prominent before it revealed the actual monster disguised in green skin while sniffing its snot.

"Tch!".

Soma swiftly kicked the ground where he stood and accelerated, approaching the still-oblivious Orc. He leaped forward before putting all of the momentum of his movement to his sole feet aimed at the orc's face.

The sound of an unnerving crunch of cracking skull and torn flesh echoed in the room as the orc head received Soma's kick head-on before embedding itself into the wall, painting it with tangy blue paint.

[You gained Exp!]

"Soma".

"You okay?".

"Yeah, no problem. Let's get out of here first. I have a bad feeling about this place".

***

In the heart of the tranquil forest, the sky was a basked in the light of oranges, indicating that the Sun would soon be replaced. Despite the tranquil silence of the weather, chaos, and conflict happen in the innermost forest, where a group of students forms a tense circle. Blood drained from their faces but still retained some of its determination in front of the two figures that loomed over them.

The form of those two was horrendous, with ugly pig faces letting out mucus and saliva, looking at the girls in the groups with their lustful gaze, making them shudder in disgust. The orcs with towering bodies and bulky appearance let out a loud cry that shook the student core, making their knee tremble.

"...Kuh, don't falter, everyone. Keep the formation intact".

Leon, who was the strongest and standing in front of the other students, stood out from the rest. Despite receiving that roar, he still manages to retain his voice to keep the morals on the battlefield.

However, the reality is Leon was also shaking. He couldn't get a good grip on the handle of his sword, his eyes darting all over the place between wary or frightened about the incoming ambush from the other orcs.

The stance he tried to hold off shook as he gazed at the other student behind him, who was trembling in fright upon the figure of the monster.

One of the orcs seemed desperate as he charged forward while raising its club, stiffening the student's face. Leon, who stood in front, faltered slightly as he loosened the grip on his sword.

"..Tch, move away. Gravity manipulation".

Eri, who held a towering shield that covered her whole body, stepped forward. Using her unique magic to manipulate gravity at will, he lightened the shield mass, and then she planned on the ground before doing the opposite of it. The ground around the shield cracked open because of the sheer mass it contained.

The orc who noticed it lifted the corner of his lips, seeing a girl approaching him. But there was an annoying shield that blocked his way, so he swung the club vertically, but upon making contact with the shield, it made a cracking sound before the club was blasted into bits. The other orc also stood stupefied, watching it happen.

"Oink?!".

The orc who saw his club being shattered blanked for a moment before the clear shout from Eri awoke him from his stupor.

"Eiji, your turn".

"...Fuuu. Dark magic".

[Dark Magic Level 2 Blind]

Above the two orcs' heads, two magic circles twenty centimeters in diameter appeared with strange eyes that opened in their middle, giving it an eerie sight. Then, after the eyes were opened. The two orcs' vision started to flicker before it went dark.

"Oink!".

"Oink?!".

Realizing that the spell was successful. Eri, who stood in front, once again manipulated the shield mass and lifted it up before using every strength in her body. Before the shield makes contact with the ground, Eri manipulates the mass, making it super heavy until the ground on her feet cracks.

"Everyone, Run!".

As the shield made contact with the ground, a thunderous boom resounded, creating a huge spider web and tiny crater that shook every student's ear—raising a cloud of dust that disturbed the orcs' eyes and smelled further.

"Hurry up and run!".

Eri, with an irritated voice, issued her command, which every student followed in fright and ran toward their back like their life depended on it.

She shifted her gaze toward the blonde kid who stood still, watching the fight unfold with gritted teeth, but she didn't have a concern for him as she turned her gaze at Eiji, whose breath was erratic because of the usage of magic that drains all of his mana tanks.

"Eiji, let's get out of here".

"Thanks, as usual, Eri".

With the manipulation she had, she reduced Eiji's weight before she put him on her shoulder, and then when the time came, she wanted to dash from the place.

"Kyaa".

"Help us!".

"I don't want to die!".

A wailing of despair echoed in front of her, making her steps halted as she saw the retreating students come back with terror-stricken faces, glancing at their backs. Upon witnessing the scene, Eri and Leon felt a slight tremor on their feet, and their face stiffened upon the source it came from.

Another four orcs with clubs in their hands chase after the students while circling to ensure they do not escape their grasp. However, there was one orc that stood tall from the other with its bulky appearance and broadsword in his back, with a daunting aura, strolling approaching them.

"You're kidding me!".

"That was?"

"...".

Eri, Eiji, and Leon, who saw the impending disaster, could only swallow the bitter fate that came knocking at their door.
