Chapter 267 - Breakthrough (2/2)

But then the True infected lifted his hand and at the same time, a wall of black shadows appeared covering the entrance. The students closest to the entrance were suddenly grabbed by the shadows and pulled into the wall.

Their screams were heard for a brief moment and then never again after.

”What do we do, we can't leave now?”

”It looks like the only way is to defeat that man.” The young professor Flynn said.

He stood forward and suddenly the aura around his body started to change. A faint light glow could be seen surrounding his body.

”Breakthrough!” Flynn shouted.

A burst of energy left his body and his hair was now floating in constant motion as magic had surrounded and entered his body.

”Oh did the professor just Breakthrough?”

”I've never seen a mage do that before, I can feel the magic coming off him from here.”

Even Ray who was standing quite a distance away from Flynn was able to feel the magic surrounding Flynn's body.

”So that's a breakthrough.” If there was one major difference between the upper class and the middle-class it was this. You weren't considered a real mage until you were able to break through and looking at Flynn, Ray felt like he knew why.

”Here, take her,” Springett said as she pushed Norah over to Ray. ”You guys get out of here.”

”But how are we men to get out, there's that huge shadow wall blocking the only entrance!” Max cried.

Springett didn't give an answer but simply looked at Ray. It didn't matter what her suspicions of Ray were but she felt like he was on their side and right now she needed his help.

”I can give it a try,” Ray replied.

As Ray walked up to the wall, he was busy thinking about what to do. With the professors there it seemed like they were powerful enough to deal with a true infected. Especially with two of them and after witnessing the Breakthrough Ray was hopeful.

The problem was the teleportation circle. It had already started its activation and would take some time before it would fully activate and when it did it would teleport all the students to who knows where but it definitely wasn't going to be a regular hunting ground.

Then a loud scream was heard.

”Springett I need help!” Flynn shouted. ”You know my abilities aren't really suited for combat.” He said running towards Springett and the others.

The true infected was right on Flynn's tail-chasing after him. Springett drew out her sword and sliced the shadows face.

Success.

Or so she thought. The shadows reshifted and just reformed the face once again. Then the shadow continued to move forward and floated right past Springett and the others, when it was close enough it lifted its hand and from its palm releasing a dark energy ball.

The attack wasn't aimed at Ray or any of the Professors though. The ball was heading straight for Van.
