But is Chang Yan being too quiet, or is he just tired from tearing down the wall? Oh well, never mind him.
After thinking about it for a moment, Hyoudou Issei continued to talk to Legre about other things.
"By the way, Legrassan, Yu Chuan just said that this is only the second worst-case scenario. What about the worst-case scenario?"
"The worst-case scenario would be terrible. As Nako mentioned before, this school building has been assimilated by the barrier, so the caster can manipulate the floor and walls. What if we think about it from a deeper perspective?"
"Deeper? Um (⊙o⊙)... I can't think of anything."
"That's space!"
"Eh?! Manipulating space?! Σ(っ°Д °;)っ That's terrifying!"
"Ah, don't worry. Although it's about manipulating space, even moving a pen would consume a huge amount of magic power. You might as well use that magic power to cast a few more fireballs. Besides, with the quality of the building materials in our school, the limit is that we can only move one person at most. If we do anything more, the building will collapse and the barrier will break on its own."
"Magic is truly amazing!"
After hearing the answer, Hyoudou Issei couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Yes, it's really amazing."
Legre echoed this sentiment before continuing on his way.
Why are these people suddenly so quiet?
Looking at the crowd that had been silently moving forward ahead, Chang Yan felt that something was wrong.
"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"
The familiar voice broke the silence of the darkness, and then—
"..."
"..."
"..."
......
No response
The crowd acted as if they hadn't heard anything and continued to move forward in silence.
"Hey, give me an answer!"
......
Silence remained.
Something wrong
This is so wrong.
Chang Yan could sense that the atmosphere here had become strange.
(What's going on? Why can't they hear me? Are they all under some kind of illusion? But the Annihilation Eye isn't reacting. Anyway, let's get them to stop.)
"Hey, all of you, stop right now! If you don't stop, I'll get physical!"
......
"Looks like I'll have to resort to force. Sorry, Legre."
Chang Yan's tone gradually turned cold. He decided to stop the mage Legre first, since it would be difficult to make a move with Yu Chuan Naoko in front of him.
A bright red cross-shaped magic circle reappeared, accompanied by strands of black threads that vanished in an instant, imperceptible to anyone.
Reach out, press down, and then make him turn around.
The instant Legley turned around, Chang Yan kicked him hard.
Because, after Legre turned his head, what appeared
It is a
Rotten human face
Today is my birthday, I'm finally an adult!
Chapter Thirty-Three: Headless Corpse
When Chang Yan saw Legre's rotting face, he admitted that he was horrified.
However, some people get scared when watching horror movies or visiting haunted houses, and may then engage in extreme behaviors.
For example, punching a computer screen and smashing it.
Or, kick away the staff member dressed as a ghost to scare you.
And this is the kind of person Chang Yan is.
What would happen if a mage was kicked hard by a warrior?
Legre was kicked flying, knocking down Hyoudou Issei and Yatogami Tohka in front of him.
Then, something terrifying happened.
The three of them swayed as they stood up and continued walking forward in silence.
(Damn it, my kick should have incapacitated him, and I didn't sense any magic protecting him. Did it not activate?)
Chang Yan took a deep breath, then ran over and pressed Legley's body to the ground, placing his hand on his chest to feel his heartbeat.
One second
Ten seconds
Thirty seconds
Chang Yan silently stood up.
Subsequently,
Monopod
He crushed Legley's head.
The eye-annihilation technique failed to take effect, so it was swallowed.
A dead body with no heartbeat and already decomposing is outside the capabilities of the Extermination Eye.
"I don't know if you're really dead or just hallucinating. I won't apologize for crushing your head. In a godforsaken place like this, who knows if you'll get up again a second later?"
After coldly uttering a few words to the headless corpse, Chang Yan rushed to the front of the group and looked back at everyone's faces.
The faces of all the people and the cows were rotting, and a strange horror spread once again.
"Ha, how stupid. I really don't know which idiot came up with this idea to scare me."
Seeing this, Chang Yan laughed, making sarcastic remarks as he laughed.
"I'd believe it if other people's faces were rotting, but for that zombie Ayumu Aikawa's face to rot too? I don't believe you're stronger than Eucliwood. If you had that ability, you would have rendered us incapacitated long ago. You idiot!"
After making a series of sarcastic remarks, Chang Yan looked at his "teammates" with a look of disgust.
"A bunch of disgusting bastards, why don't you just die obediently? Why do I have to do it? It's so annoying."
One punch, and another.
One kick after another.
In that brief minute, Chang Yan smashed the heads of all those repulsive creatures, including the minotaur.
"It dirtied my hands, disgusting."
Chang Yan casually wiped the dirt off his hands with the school uniforms on the animals, found a clean spot to sit down and rest, and pondered how to leave this place.
He was forced to separate from the main group, and he didn't feel anything unusual when he was separated.
If he was moved underground by the floor, he would have been able to detect it with his reaction time, but according to Yuukawa Naoko, the caster can only manipulate the floor and walls.
(This is really troublesome. How do you solve a mystery when there are absolutely no clues? Hmmmm...)
The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became, and in his frustration, he slammed his fist on the ground.
Boom!
A dull sound rang out.
"Ugh, this is so annoying. Let's just smash the floor. This is the third floor, let's get to the first floor first and then talk about other things."
Without further ado, Chang Yan immediately half-lay on the ground and unleashed a flurry of Ora Ora punches at the floor.
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
Because of the force exertion posture and the thickness of the floor, the floor was bombarded for quite a while before it was broken.
Rumble
Broken stones fell onto the second-floor floor, raising a cloud of dust.
"Cough cough, I miscalculated, this smoke is so pungent."
Chang Yan covered his nose, quickly walked out of the smoke and dust that blocked his vision, and frowned deeply.
It's even darker here than on the third floor.
If the third floor is simply a dark, unlit night, then this place is a darkness shrouded in mist.
Cell phones are practically useless in this kind of place; the electrical flashes they emit are negligible. In this situation, they can only serve as a source of psychological comfort.
"There's fog here? Oh well, now that we're on a new map, let's look for clues first."
I turned off my phone to save battery, and as usual, I strolled into the darkness.
It was like stepping into an abyss.
--------
Led by the Minotaur, the others slowly made their way forward. Even the silent shifting of walls and floors could not stop the Minotaur's advance.
"Wait, look ahead! Something's happened!"
Ayumu Aikawa, who was standing at the front, saw something on the floor ahead and quickly called out to the others. Legre also ordered the Minotaur to stop, since it was their only hope now, and it would be difficult if it died.
"Aikawa-kun, Hyoudou-kun, after I cast a shield on you, come with me to the front to take a look. Changyan-kun, please look after the others."
Upon seeing the situation, Yuukawa Naoko immediately called Aikawa Ayumu and Hyoudou Issei to go up and check it out, but before that, she needed to cast a shield and buff.
Shield Spell x3
"Group protection against evil"
"Alright, let's go. Aikawa, you go first."
Aikawa Ayumu nodded and walked slowly forward with a solemn expression, with Hyoudou Issei and Yuukawa Nako following behind him side by side.
"This...this is a corpse? It's headless? And it's wearing our school uniform."
Aikawa Ayumu stared at the group of headless corpses with a grim expression. He was, after all, a zombie, and the urge to vomit only lasted a moment before disappearing. His biological instincts suppressed the psychological effect, and his stomach, still capable of digesting food, only trembled slightly.
"This is terrifying! So many people died at once. Could it be the work of that monster?"
Looking at these headless corpses, Hyoudou Issei immediately connected them to the monster that had just brought them indescribable fear.
"Could it really be...?"
"No, it shouldn't be that monster."
While examining the body, Yuukawa Naoko refuted Hyoudou Issei's guess.
"The heads of these corpses were smashed open with fists and feet, and look, the faces on the remaining skulls are already rotting, so they've probably been dead for a while. But... these corpses give me a strange feeling. Hmm, what's this...?"
Yuukawa Naoko seemed to have discovered something; she carefully pulled a hair from a pile of white, flesh-colored, and red viscous lumps.
"This is... hair?"
"It's so dark. Let me take a look with my phone. Hmm, it's hair, and it's purple hair."
Upon hearing about the purple hair, Yuukawa Naoko seemed to remember something else and went to look for something at a headless female corpse.
"Aikawa-kun, could you please use your phone to take a picture and tell me what color this strand of hair is?"
"Let me see, hmm, it's green."
