It took Ziner ten whopping minutes just to accept the reality with gritted teeth. All the students escaped unscathed! They even took the beast with them!
His eyes darted around the room and landed on the broken pieces of the table. A vein bulged out in his forehead as he waved his hand and all the pieces started hovering.
Among the pieces, Ziner eyed the small broken square-shaped container that was used to store the excess blood spilled on the table.
He grabbed the container it was broken and only a few dribbles of blood were left inside.
Ziner cursed under his breath and put it inside his storage ring. With a loud exhale, he turned around to look at everyone when he sensed a weak breath under the debris.
With a frown, Ziner waved his hand and the large rocks around the room started floating. His eyes narrowed at the barely alive red-haired man lying under a boulder.
“Larry..?”
He didn’t care if the people working for him died but Larry was not weak that’s why he gestured for one of the men to give Larry a high-grade healing potion.
Aoky eyed Larry’s bloodied figure with gritted teeth. He was leaning against a wall and weakly gulped down a healing potion he took out from his storage ring. Anger flashed through his eyes when he recalled what happened a while ago.
‘I swear I am going to dissect those kids with my own hands! Just once let me get my hands on them!’
At a side, one of the men who followed behind Ziner stood in front of the caved-in broken platform with a sweaty forehead.
He gazed at Ziner and shook his head with a serious expression.
“There’s no way I can track the coordinates of this Array. Not just me even a person well versed in Arrays won’t be able to track the coordinates. The one who designed this Array made sure nothing was left, it was designed to self-destruct after the first usage.”
Ziner clenched his fist. No one informed him that one of the kidnapped students had knowledge regarding Arrays and from the look of it the student wasn’t a beginner in this field.
He took a deep breath and waved his hand to gather everyone’s attention.
“Now that the kidnapped individuals ran away we can’t stay in this place any longer. Sooner or later the people from the Royal Academy will come for our heads. I am leaving for another Kingdom. Just pack every important stuff and things that can expose your identity and leave this place.”
“Go far away and stay low for a while. I will find a new base and after a few months when the Royal Academy stopped their search and everything calmed down I will contact you all.”
Ziner gazed at the group of men standing opposite him with a solemn expression. Today he lost a lot of manpower. After a few more instructions he looked around his room but because everything was broken and destroyed he gritted his teeth with anger. He shot a deadly glare at Aoky and disappeared from the room without saying anything further.
After he left the other men gave a sidelong glance to the injured cyan-hair man and disappeared as well while dragging the unconscious Larry.
Aoky cursed under his breath because he was the only one left. Now he had to clean the whole building. After resting for a few minutes some of his injuries healed because of the many healing potions he gulped down. He staggered inside the whole building to look for everything of value.
When he cleaned the storage room his eyes darted to some storage rings lying in a corner. He didn’t think much and tossed all the rings in a cloth bag. However, this was a grave mistake he would regret soon.
After he was done, he left the building heading to an unknown place where no one would disturb him for a while.
…
Meanwhile, inside a village present at the edge of Kingdom Tersia. The village nestled deep within a forest, where some old elves couple lived harmoniously.
The area was adorned with shimmering treehouses, lush waterfalls, and large green trees, creating a beautiful and serene environment.
Two white-haired elves talked about their daily life as they walked around the street present between the various treehouses.
After a while, they stopped walking and basked in the sunlight.
One of them sighed with a peaceful expression.
“What a beautiful day.”
The moment this sentence left his mouth, a lot of individuals dropped from the sky, directly landing in front of the two dumfounded elves.
“Agh.. so heavy get down!”
Blane groaned in pain as he pushed the huge weight that landed on his back.
A few more students cried out in pain when their heads banged with a hard surface.
The elves duo finally snapped out of their daze when they smelled blood. A few more old elves stepped out from the treehouses and gathered around the uninvited guests who appeared out of nowhere.
“Who are you humans? How did you appear in this place?”
One of the elves wearing white robes questioned with a solemn expression as he could see that the uninvited guests didn’t belong to the elf race. He gestured for the other elves to stay calm.
Alec rubbed his head with a painful expression. He cursed in his mind because Kyle didn’t tell them they would crash land after they used the Array.
He gazed at the other students and eyed Oliver’s injured figure.
‘Professor Oliver is unconscious what should I do now?’
Alec sighed and looked at the individuals standing around him. He blinked his eyes, it took him a while to register that the old individuals standing around him were all elves.
He patted his clothes and stood up. Carcel arrived beside him and the remaining students stood behind the duo. Mia hid Bia’s presence as much as possible and stood between all the students.
Alec cleared his throat and looked at the elf who questioned them previously.
“Umm… hello Sir. I am Alec and these are my friends. We just accidentally stepped in a damaged Array and arrived at this place. Could you please be kind enough to help us a little so we can return home?”
The elves narrowed their eyes at Alec with suspicion. How can so many people step in a damaged Array all at once and on top of that you are saying you all stepped in the Array accidentally? How ridiculous!
However, the white-robed elf nodded his head. He could sense the kid’s rank they were no threat to them. Instead of a threat, the kids looked like they were running for life.
