“Well, look who’s here,” a Fourth Year student from the Darkmoon Academy, Gregory, said with a smile. “It’s the sheep from Brynhildr Academy that are up for slaughter.”
Gregory was the Captain of the Darkmoon Academy students. He was the kind of person who wouldn’t hesitate to use any means to overcome his opponent, even if it meant playing dirty.
“Well, look who’s here,” Henry replied with a devilish smile of his own. “Another dead person that will soon be added to my list.”
The Head Prefect of Dud Manor unleashed his killing intent, which made almost all the students shudder due to how intense it was.
Even Gregory’s smile faded after sensing the killing intent coming from one of the High-Profile targets of their academy.
As a Magic Knight himself, Gregory knew that the only people who had killed hundreds of people could release such powerful killing intent.
Even so, with the numbers completely on his side, he remained confident that he would prevail in an all-out battle. Henry couldn’t even fly and had to rely on Rowan’s flying broom to remain afloat.
“Nice bluff, Mage Slayer,” Gregory said as he raised his hand. “But your notoriety ends here.”
Immediately, the Wizards and Witches numbering over thirty spread out and encircled Henry’s group, leaving them no path for escape.
Rowan sneered after seeing that they were surrounded. He wasn’t the least bit worried in the slightest, even if they were supposedly trapped.
Even Nicole, who was the youngest of the four of them, had a fearless smile on her face as she eyed her enemies. She wasn’t someone who would go down easily in a fight, and she was confident in her ability to escape, if she was pushed into a corner.
Garnet still looked calm on the surface, but deep inside, she was feeling anxious.
Although she was confident about dealing with three Wizards and Witches at the same time, fighting against this number was not going to be easy.
“Friends from Nightfall Academy, it will be best for all of you to stand aside,” Gregory stated. “You don’t want to be involved in this conflict, do you?”
Cedric glanced at Gregory and then at Henry before signaling his group to pull back. He didn’t want his people to be caught up in the all-out battle between the rival academies.
The handsome teenager was more worried about the King Manticore who was on the ground and watching this scene with amusement.
As a sentient creature, Cedric knew that if they didn’t subdue the monster quickly, it would be able to recover its strength and flee.
But given the current situation, he really had no choice but to take a step back for his and his members’ safety.
“Nicole, listen to me,” Henry said in a volume that only she could hear. “You and Garnet head to Janga Valley. We can handle ourselves just fine.”
Nicole frowned when she heard Henry’s words, but in the end, she nodded her head and gestured to Garnet.
The Scarlet Witch nodded her head in understanding and waited for Henry’s signal.
“Rowan, I trust that you’re not going to kick the bucket with only this many opponents, right?” Henry said in a teasing tone.
“If they wanted to kill me, they would have to surround me with at least a hundred people,” Rowan snorted. “Just this much is only a warm-up for me.”
Henry chuckled and eyed Gregory with a smirk on his face.
Without any warnings, the Head Prefect of Dud Manor threw two silver daggers in two opposite directions.
One was headed for Gregory, and the other was headed behind him, where a Witch was barring the way of their escape.
Gregory sneered at the sight of the silver dagger that was flying towards him.
“I already know your tricks, Mage Slayer!” Gregory shouted. “It won’t work on me!”
Summoning a sword, Gregory swung to deflect the silver dagger that was aimed at his head.
However, just as he was about to hit the dagger, Henry swapped places with it and reappeared in front of the Fourth Year, who still had a sneer on his face.
“Titan’s Strength,” Henry said as he punched forward, meeting Gregory’s sword that was covered in purple flames.
The moment his punch hit Gregory’s sword, the latter felt as if he had swung against a train that was going at full speed.
The collision was so strong that his sword broke in two, and Henry’s punch collided with his face, making it explode like a watermelon!
Everything happened so fast that everyone was shocked, including Cedric who was seeing the Mage Slayer fight for the first time.
Right after killing his opponent, Henry disappeared from where he was and reappeared where the dagger that he had thrown towards the Witch was.
Without even a shred of mercy, Henry punched forward with the intention of killing the Witch as well.
However, the Witch was one step ahead of him and broke the Escape Rune in her possession.
She instantly turned into particles of light and disappeared from the Legacy Domain.
Unlike Gregory, who was too full of himself, the Witch felt death the moment the dagger was thrown in her direction.
Trusting her guts, she didn’t hesitate to take out her escape rune and break it instantly, barely escaping with her life.
“Now!” Henry shouted.
Nicole and Garnet moved in his direction in order to escape through the path that he created.
The pink-haired beauty even summoned her shield and raised it above her head.
She did this to give Henry a platform that he could step on.
A devilish smile appeared on his face as he threw more silver daggers in different directions, with the intention of killing as many as he could.
When Gregory died, the enemy team had lost their commanding officer, leaving their group disorganized.
Henry and Rowan took advantage of the confusion to attack the opposing Wizards and Witches, who had come to kill them. This would show them what the Executors of Brynhildr Academy were capable of.
Henry and Rowan were always sent to deal with rogue Wizards and Witches, so their fighting experience was very rich.
How could a disorganized mob form any threat against them??
Cedric and his teammates could only look in horror as a one-sided massacre took place.
Because of how shocked they were, they were late in noticing that the King Manticore had started to run away, using the battle as its cover.
‘Damn it!’ Cedric cursed internally. “Everyone, follow me!”
Cedric took a nosedive from the sky in order to avoid the dogfight that was growing more intense with each passing second.
He made sure to dodge any stray spells that were being hurled towards Henry and Rowan, who seemed to appear and disappear in the skies.
One would swap places with his dagger.
The other would transform into a purple comet, annihilating everything in its path.
‘These people are crazy,’ Cedric thought as beads of sweat formed on his head.
He understood that Henry was strong since even he had heard of his Mage Slayer title in Nightfall Academy.
However, he didn’t expect that Luna’s older brother, Rowan, was quite powerful as well.
In that short amount of time he watched, Cedric was sure that if he were to fight Rowan in a life-and-death battle, his chances of winning were low.
Of course, there was a chance that he could win, but unless it was a last resort, he wouldn’t dare to fight with a person who could easily end a person’s life with a smile on his face.
