I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot-Chapter 1021: 16.67 First Red Star - Small Village
The golden egg wrapped by Keylan Light's hand had an evident heartbeat. It was obviously alive and it isn't an ordinary egg at first sight. Randall Ruid, a Warden that hardly left the Netherworld hadn't seen this kind of strange egg in his life and didn't even know what it was.
Annoyed, Randall Ruid commented as he saw the golden egg in Keylan Light's hands, "What's with the egg? Did you lay it?"
This question just earned him a smack in the head from his lover.
Randall Ruid at this moment: (QAQ)I'm just joking!
Luther D'Arcy, the instructor, examined the golden egg in Keylan Light's palm without touching it. This is certainly an elemental egg, although a young one. It even has a link to Keylan Light, who gave it life. Its existence is now linked to Keylan's, and it will guard him until the end. What was even more astonishing was that this egg was linked to the Heavenly Laws. Actually, it's more like the Heavenly Laws themselves get a soul as a result of Keylan Light.
Luther D'Arcy squinted his eyes as he observed this young priest who didn't have anything exceptional about him except for his clean spirit. He didn't tell him anything since it would ruin his enjoyment in the future.
Luther D'Arcy said, "This is an Elemental Egg born thanks to your energy and it is connected to your soul. It would protect you when it was born and be with you all the time. It would never hurt you. Just treat it as a child that has a fate with you. Why don't you give it a name? It would be born if you gave it a name."
Keylan Light paused for a time after learning what an elemental creature is. After all, he'd never seen an elemental before; all he knew was that elements existed, but not that they could take physical form. But, as he feels the heartbeat emanating from the egg, he realizes that this tiny one is actually alive and cannot help but develop a connection to it. After all, he'd been an orphan his entire life. He accepted a disciple, but the nasty youngster killed him out of greed. That's why he can't trust anybody save the Holy Rules, which have always saved, healed, and protected him.
Randall Ruid commented as if reading Keylan Light's thoughts, "Elemental born from the energy of its master can never betray him. It can live and die for you but will never pull you upon its death. It will only be loyal to you right from the beginning to the end. Since they are something born from your soul. He is the one holding the short stick. Why are you even hesitating?"
"I only..."
"But keep in mind that once you begin giving him energy you cannot stop until he is born. Or else it would just die before it comes out. Be sure you are completely ready and decide if you are willing to give your all for it to come to life. At some point when your energy is enough, plead for Lord Fenrir to help you. He can also use light elements and transfer some to you." Luther D'Arcy said.
Fenrir Skoll's ability to handle light elements surprised both Keylan Light and the students. Fenrir Skoll is the Black Wolf Tribe's lone existence for the werewolves. He is exclusively skilled in dark and space components. He is an outsider who is famed for being an awful God, according to Keylan Light. This is the first time he has heard that an evil God may use light components.
"Why can he...?"
"Who told you a werewolf can't use light elements even if the Princess of the Vampires can?" Retorted Randall Ruid but in reality, he just didn't want to explain more things about their real world. After all, Keylan Light knew a bit more than that was allowed.
Yet, as the class goes on, more students gain mastery of their abilities. Once the evening classes concluded, the students were forced to rely on one another to go home. Their energies were nearly drained throughout their training to produce their elemental energy. Conri Lycaon and Mayonaka Yoru are two of them that have an excellent command of their abilities. Nobody could have imagined that they'd both be werewolves.
The students resumed their training as Keylan Light focused on his egg, and Fenrir Skoll took over, casting Time Element Magic on the training field. He cast a Time Reversal spell, which would trigger if a student died. Instructor Luther and Instructor Randall invited the students out for a practical assessment after they had easily killed a lesser devil on their own. A month had passed since the three teachers first began instructing them. Now that the practical examinations have begun, they must kill at least 5 undeads outside the institution.
After becoming a demon, Kenan Light directed his undead to overrun the zones surrounding them. This undead would be divided into groups, with only the most significant group headed by Undead Commander Lemuel. Some undeads were divided into little groups with no leader and simply that order in mind. Even if these undeads are not like the ones in the movies, they are nevertheless a mindless group incapable of thinking or speaking for themselves. It would be simple for them to be ambushed.
With the assistance of the two systems, Yue and Yang, Luther D'Arcy and Randall Ruid determine the nearest location where the undead group without a leader will strike next. They intended to utilize them as target practice for the Elite Class students' practical tests.
It's been a month since these students began training. They can now eliminate weaker demons on their own.
In some small villages on the outskirts of Genus Academy's Territory...
With Luther D'Arcy and Randall Ruid guarding them, Keylan Light chose not to go with them. His egg has recently grown to the size of a human, and he has been unable to leave his small church ever then. Fenrir Skoll also assisted him in increasing his affinity with light elements, which increased his soul strength and brought his cultivation almost to Godhood.
With the two systems watching over the region, they can point out where the undeads are coming from and keep an eye out for unexpected ambushes. The two systems seldom left their small world, where they almost became farmers and hunters. They could scarcely protest if Lord Hei did not control the Lord God. After all, save for his family and the other half, the Lord God is usually frigid to others. Even towards friends and subordinates, their manner is one of apathy and coldness.
While the children couldn't see it, a miniature sun and a small moon were floating above them, keeping an eye on the area for their protection. If an unexpected creature came, Luther D'Arcy and Randall Ruid were likewise permitted to employ their God State. Like the mastermind behind the devilish Kenan Light. Fenrir Skoll knew that some outside variable was becoming involved with this reality after witnessing Kenan Light's present appearance in the recordings recorded by System Yue and Yang, albeit he didn't know if this unknown opponent was coming for him or his wife.
At first, Lord God Ye didn't believe there was someone else out there that was coming for them. After all, he had killed Ye Mo and eradicated the Ye Gui Race after his resurrection. Their souls would now forever be imprisoned at the deepest layer of the Nether Prison with the Abyss Creatures guarding them as wardens.
The students had divided into groups in the little settlement. Asher Light's squad of four was entrusted with leading the other groups and focusing on the strongest group of undead among the opponents. Mayonaka Yoru, like Asher Light, was charged with leading, and Esther Dawn joined him along with two other classmates. Their objective is to obstruct the escape path and kill any undeads that deviate from their group. The other squads had likewise dispersed to different areas in a certain formation, waiting for the massive group of undead to arrive.
Luther D'Arcy and Randall Ruid were hovering in the skies, looking down on the entire event.
If a perilous scenario arose, they would instantly plunge below. They must keep all of these students alive, whether they lose a limb or are injured. That didn't matter because they might be cured after the Practical Test. Randall Ruid looked at the oncoming swarm of undeads and realized that the students would be lucky to kill all of them.
"Honey, the incoming undead seems to have two Demon Infants and a Demon Soldier. They don't have a commander but do you think those brats can kill them all?" Randall Ruid asked.
Luther D'Arcy thought for a moment before making a decision, "Let's restrain the Demon Soldier for a bit. Once they finished eliminating the rest we would release it to test how they would react during an ambush."
"Well~ I expect that a lot of them might die if this thing ambushes them." Randall Ruid said as he controlled the wind elements to restrain the black spider that is as large as a house. He also blocked its mouth to avoid the rest from noticing.
"If they don't die a few more times would they gain instincts to feel danger? Let them die a few more times. The Lord God left us his Time Scroll for this event." Luther D'Arcy said.
He also made sure to inform the two Systems of the change in plans. Even if the students can see Yue and Yang, they may still tell them in other ways. After all, voiceless transmission is a possibility for them. The students took their positions within the town while carrying their guns. They don't need to conceal because the undead can smell any live things in the vicinity, especially humanoids.
From the students within the town, Asher Light seized charge, while Mayonaka Yoru led his party waiting outside. When the first batch of undead reached the settlement, Asher Light's voice boomed throughout the region, and he bellowed his order, drawing the attention of the undead.
"Take out your weapons. Surround them and kill them!" Asher Light commanded.
The students moved in unison as they heard the command. The undead were encircled by the students and initiated a fight. The numbers of the undeads were almost five times their current number and a quarter of them were outside watching out for ambushes. Now the students had to kill 6 to 8 undeads on their own to eliminate the undeads. To lessen their burden Conri Lycaon let the same undead escape. He knew that the other group led by Mayonaka Yoru would be able to eliminate it.
As for why he agreed to let Asher Light lead, it was because he needed to become the eyes of the whole battlefield. He would inform Asher Light of any changes that might cause big changes in their plans. Undeads were mindless monsters after all, they are unpredictable. Athan Vladimir was by his side helping him block the enemies while he watched the field. Asher Light and Amber Dawn were in the midst of the battle surrounded by the other students as they led the fight.
Conri Lycaon noticed that more than a quarter undead had fled. They intentionally left a gap in their formation to allow these undead to leave and lessen the burden during the battle.
"Close the gap in the Formation!" Conri Lycaon yelled.
Asher Light nodded his head and once again commanded the students to close the gap in their battle formation.
"Close the gap! Eliminate them all. Don't leave even a single one alive!"
"Yes, leader!"
Amber Dawn commanded the forest around the town and locked their little village in a wood cage as Asher Light spoke the command. This keeps the other undeads from fleeing and adding to her elder brother's group's adversaries. After all, the group led by her brother-in-law and eldest brother was too small compared to the bulk of the class.
Randall Ruid and Luther D'Arcy were observing the spectacle below the town from above, just as the students were finishing the zombies imprisoned within. These students were overjoyed at how effortlessly they dispatched such a huge bunch of zombies. Nevertheless, they have yet to see the Devil Infants hidden in the shrubbery. Waiting for the precise moment to eliminate the opposing side's leaders.
Randall Ruid was dissatisfied by the scene and muttered, "Too complacent."
