Chapter 312 - Entering the Competition (9) (1/2)

Luke cut the ends of my hair with his sword before pushing me inside the room after opening the door. He panted as his back was on the door. While we had the time, I messaged all the others to come back to their rooms. We needed more help as Ben and Alex were unable to faze him on their own.

”Is he even a human being?” I wondered.

”I don't know,” Luke began to close all the windows again.

”I think he's related to the notes. He's saying the same things that were written,” I pointed out.

I got a call from Shelly as she was outside the rooms. The scene showed how everyone was working together to take the person down. Lucius created another barrier to keep that person inside. Meanwhile, everyone else focused on attacking that person from trying to get inside Ben's room.

”It's like he can't feel any pain,” Shelly frowned at the scene.

The person used heal, something that consumed a lot of mana while trying to fend off their attacks. This continued for ten minutes as if that person didn't have a limit in how much mana he could use. After he finally collapsed onto the ground after exhausting everything he had, everyone began to fortify the barrier with Lucius to keep him from escaping.

”We should call the authorities,” Lucius shouted.

”I already called for them,” Alice showed them her marble.

”The people will be teleporting here within a few minutes,” she read out the message.

Like Alice announced, the workers from the first district retrieved the barrier and teleported with that person to another place. However, most of our surroundings were trashed from most of our failed attacks. Luke and I decided to stay in this room as everyone else began to repair the area.

When we finally left Ben's room, the barrier was put up in our rooms again, much more fortified than before. Everyone had exhausted their mana to increase the security inside the rooms. We couldn't trust the authorities after everything we have been through.

”But weren't there two of them?” I recalled inside my bedroom.

”You're right,” Shelly sighed.

I hoped the other one left once since that person was defeated. I opened my closet door, about to change into my pyjamas. I screamed as I found another person, who resembled the one taken by the authorities. He squeezed into my closet, crouching this entire time. His dull eyes looked into my pupils, ”help me. Find me.”

”I'll take you to me,” he got up to hold a knife against my neck.
