A buzzing sound echoed in Hyberlian's ears, making the space around her seem distorted.

She only saw the silvery, liquid alien form hurtling through the classroom like a cannonball. Every impact sent a wave of silver and blood swirling, as if iron was rampaging through cake.

The five-layered demon teacher who was originally standing at the classroom door, had now been swallowed by a silver, otherworldly form, consuming a large portion of his body. Tearing wounds ripped open on his flesh, blood gushing like a spring from between his bones, staining the grass crimson. What remained of his body was severed in two, like a broken marionette, twitching faintly as it lay still on the ground.

All traces of life had vanished from him, leaving only those hollow eyes staring helplessly at the conservatory's dome.

Just moments ago, the botanical garden was a tranquil paradise. Now, in an instant, it has been transformed into a scene of utter chaos. The serenity has been consumed by a swirling cloud of scalding black mist, and the air is filled with the horrifying cries of those caught within its poisonous grasp!

A sense of impending doom, like an invisible claw, gripped Huberly's heart. A chilling wave seemed to crawl from the base of her spine up to her throat, making each breath feel heavy and labored.

Her heart pounded in her chest, threatening to burst out.

"Miss Huberley, I've found you at last."

Accompanied by that hoarse voice, the shadowy figure stepped out from the far doorway, its outline growing clearer with each step. It radiated an intense malevolence that sent shivers down Huberly's spine.

Her limbs also became stiff and immobile, as if bound by some kind of magic.

The poet, a fragile first-stage being of great love, seemed unable to bear the erosion of this toxic mist. He quickly dissipated into orange fluorescence.

This rare, limited-time viewing paradise has now become a bloody botanical garden of chaos and fear.

The screams of the demon students gradually weakened, and the silver alien bodies wreaked havoc among them. They soon devoured them all like a reaper mowing down weeds.

And the silver alien's body grew increasingly larger.

Hubert can just leave the great poets alone for now.

When a summoned creature is slain, it automatically returns to its owner's hand as a card and has a longer cooldown period than normal before it can be summoned again.

Now she has to worry about herself!

The dense botanical gardens were shrouded in black mist, a product of the toxic magic that permeated the air. Between gnarled tree trunks stained with crimson blood, shadowy figures stalked closer to Huberlia, like predators locking onto their prey.

The shadow's cloak rustled in the gentle breeze that swept through the botanical garden, resembling a grim reaper walking with a steady and cold demeanor. Every step was filled with the palpable menace of approaching death.

... now.

Then, Huberlian finally saw the true face of the visitor.

She is a woman with a ferocious scar on her cheek, and behind her follows an attendant-like dark mage.

Although this woman would be quite beautiful if not for the scars, her eyes, chaotic and filled with aggression, seem to have absorbed countless murders.

Fifth-tier challenger

A suffocating pressure from the powerful being seemed to threaten to consume Huberlyan.

She immediately cast 【Purification Magic】 to dispel the control on her, then entered an invisibility state, creating distance.

Even though Huberlian had temporarily concealed herself at this moment, the classroom exit was blocked by a silver, alien form, as if it had sealed her last glimmer of hope, leaving her with no chance of escape.

"Originally, you only needed to die naturally within this shadow world according to the mechanism."

Women are like being forced to do something they don't want to do, such as handling a Huberlian issue with their own hands.

She wasn't sure if she had successfully hit the duchess with her carriage.

But along the way, after interrogating quite a few demon students, they finally managed to get word on where Hypberlian might be.

I did indeed see a tall girl with silver hair and amber eyes at school.

The woman controlling the silver alien seemed to know that Huberlian had already hidden her form, leaving behind a decoy. It was a waste of effort to attack the fake body.

"This time, the Shadow World should have matched two masters, which successfully triggered the protection mechanism of the Demon Academy's principal and achieved the mission objective of the Shadow World."

The woman spoke slowly,

But for you, such luck won't come again.

Although I don't know where Hubble's teammates went at this time.

But I imagine he's probably spending his time now in some corridor or room at school.

According to information received from their contact in the royal city of Icerath prior to participating in the matched sniper engagement against Huberlian--

Entering the void gate structure with Hubrian was the chief freshman of the Wise House at the Ikerite Academy.

Iron-tier registered challenger.

Second-order assistant.

Entrance exam battle information is being hidden by Loren, the headmaster of the Wise Academy.

Has potential but the current threat level is low.

"...."

Hubleyan remained hidden, holding her breath.

If she hadn't been empowered to the fourth rank by the limited-time dish from the Demon King's Restaurant, she wouldn't even have the confidence to face this fifth-rank opponent.

Even so, she's not sure how long she can hold on!

"Duchess, come out willingly. I can make your corpse look less hideous."

The shadowy woman's words dripped with menace, her voice laced with certainty as she addressed the surrounding air.

"No one can save you."

……

At half past four in the morning, at the Ictère Academy.

The open-air giant screen at the Jera Memorial Square still blazes, projecting the live feed of the Shadow World under the moonlight.

The surrounding buildings stood silent and imposing in the night, only a few windows glowing with light.

On the stairs, students began to slowly get up, stretching and yawning, chatting sleepily with each other. Although classes during the day might have been tiring, watching such a fantastical film world made staying up all night worthwhile.

After Lan Qi successfully passed through and cut off the screen, students began to leave the plaza steps like a movie ending.

The crowd in the square thinned out, leaving behind some students still watching the healing time of the great poet in the botanical garden, like a closing theme song, or slowly packing up and preparing to leave.

"Next time, I'm going to watch Lanchi's shadow world."

However, for the fourth-tier Shadow World, the cooldown period is two months. By the time he can challenge it again, half of the term would be over.

Suddenly.

The warm and peaceful open-air screen's brightness suddenly surged again, as if something dramatic had happened in the painting.

It brought not a surprise, but a bone-chilling scream of terror.

The screen suddenly changed, causing many students who were picking up trash nearby to shiver involuntarily and look up.

"Attackers in the Shadow World"

The students who remained on the steps were the first to cry out in surprise.

Their eyes were glued to the screen, captivated by the shocking and sudden turn of events!

(The End)
