Chapter 268 - Taken away (2/2)

”Should we help out the professors?” Loot asked.

”No just leave them be.” Blake said, ”The exit's blocked and it's not like we can go anywhere, the professors should be able to deal with it soon.”

The group looked at the circle, the crystal in the middle was no longer shining brightly but was now black in colour and shadows were swirling around the whole thing.

”Yeah, perhaps the best thing to do is not act and just wait.” Loot replied.

But suddenly one of the shadows from the crystal reached out, it took the shape of a hand and came at lightning speed grabbing Blake by the head, then it started to pull him towards the circle.

More hands started to appear form the crystal, it started to reach out and grab several students around it, pulling them all into the magic circle.

”It's like it's alive and why does it one us to go in the circle so bad?” As a hand came out to reach for Loot, he started to do a chant and at the last second a circle portal appeared. The hand went into the portal and when it closed, the shadow hand was chopped off and half of it had disappeared into the portal.

Blake, on the other hand, was struggling against the shadow, he tried his best to resist and bought himself some time, but the shadow continued to drag him in and when he had finally reached the circle part of the magic circle, it lit up and after a few seconds Blake was nowhere to be seen.

The hand's continued to drag the other lower-class students into the circle and the same thing was happening to them, each of them were being teleported one by one.

The Professors could no longer take their time dealing with the true infected. Springett drew her sword.

”Breakthrough.”

As the energy around her got stronger and entered inside her body, a faint outline was seen and her hair had started to move about like a snake.

She lunged forward and swung her sword out once again, this time when the attack had hit the infected, a large screeching sound was heard with it. When looking closely at the sword, small vibrations could be seen with it.

The True infected had been completely sliced in half by her sound wave attack.

”Look the professors did it!” Max shouted.

”No!” Ray said, ”They need to get rid of the heart.”

Just then the shadows started to reform and attach itself. It pulled the two halves of its body together until it was once again whole.

With the last attack, it seemed like the True infected was filled with anger and at the same time, the shadows surrounding the Crystal reacted. Thousands of large and small black hands came shooting out from the crystal grabbing the remaining students and pulling them in.

”There too many of them!” Loot said, ”Not even my space magic can save me.”

Then before he knew it, he and the rest of the lower class students had been pulled in and teleported to someplace else.
