The Jiaolong was 30 meters long and as thick as a water tank. A human would look tiny in front of the Jiaolong, let alone a pair of chopsticks.
It was so small that it was almost negligible.
However, this pair of chopsticks easily pierced through the Jiaolong's scales and accurately grabbed the tendon under the Jiaolong's scales.
Gluttony, who was holding the chopsticks, shook his hand and the 30-meter Jiaolong was lifted up like a noodle. Then …
Slurp, Slurp!
The Jiaolong was sucked into Gluttony's mouth.
Gluttony looked like he was really eating a noodle.
"Stop! Shut up! "
Smith, who was in Kieran's face, shouted loudly. He gathered a ball of fire in his hand and hurled it at Gluttony.
Fuung!
The ball of fire flew towards Gluttony like a comet but before it could get close, Principal Romuse stopped it.
Bang!
Principal Romuse raised his hand and a formless force field crashed onto the ball of fire. The fire burst out in all directions but it didn't fall to the ground. Instead, it flew towards Gluttony's mouth. Gluttony's mouth opened wide and it didn't just devour the Jiaolong, it devoured the fire as well.
"What a scary Ghost of Appetite!"
"Monster!"
"He really is a monster!"
Everyone who saw this scene was incomparably shocked.
Under the bright lights of the gymnasium, they had a clear look at Gluttony's face. Gluttony looked similar to Kieran but his aura was completely different. It reminded everyone of the Ghost of Appetite.
After all, rumor had it that Kieran could see Renata's Ghost of Appetite. When everyone heard the rumor, they were curious as to how Kieran could see the Ghost of Appetite of the 4th year First Seat, but now, the question was solved.
This was because Kieran also had the Ghost of Appetite.
It was obvious that his rank was higher than Kieran's.
Even Renata shared the same thought.
"I see!
He also has the Ghost of Appetite! "
Renata looked at the life-like Gluttony with an unconcealable shock on her face.
'Ghost of Appetite' wasn't an ordinary talent.
Even among the many rare talents, it was one of the rarest.
It was difficult for a Eater to possess the Ghost of Appetite in every generation of Eaters. Moreover, there might not even be a Eater with the Ghost of Appetite in several generations of Eaters.
But now!
However, in the same era, two Eaters with the Ghost of Appetite appeared.
"Is it fate?"
The fourth year's top student muttered to himself, and his eyes couldn't help but shine with a strange light.
They already had a strong first impression of Renata. Now that they saw her and heard her words, everyone thought they had found the answer.
Smith was no exception.
"Is this the backup plan you've prepared?"
Smith's expression was dark as he looked at the half-devoured Aquatic Dragon and the old academy director, who had broken free from his predicament.
He had always thought that Kieran would be a big problem.
And the truth was just as he had expected.
His plans were destroyed again and again.
He was forced to lure Kieran into the Mystic State, hoping to divert Kieran's attention, but he never thought Kieran's talents would include the Ghost of Appetite.
The more shocking thing was that the Ghost of Appetite before Smith's eyes had reached an extremely high level. It wasn't just powerful, it even had its own consciousness.
It had become an ambush!
"You are really lucky."
Smith looked at Principal Romuse and said coldly.
"Luck?
I'm afraid so. "
Principal Romuse glanced over Gluttony, who was engrossed in devouring the Aquatic Dragon, and nodded with a smile.
"Let's hope you can still smile after this."
Smith's voice grew colder when he saw Principal Romuse's smile.
Senile jumped down the ring from the audience seat. Not only him, but at least a fifth of the professors, teachers, and staff went to Senile's side.
"Senile, why?!"
Leonard couldn't accept his friend's betrayal, so he shouted at Senile, but Senile had no intention to answer.
After he chose to work with Smith, he knew what he would have to face.
Any questions, questions, or insults, he had already expected it.
But …
What did it matter?
As long as he could achieve his goal, everything would be worth it.
"So many people chose you?"
Principal Romuse couldn't help but sigh when he saw the crowd leave the audience seat and gather on their own.
"Because they know I am the right one!"
Smith said as he pointed at the men under his command.
"The right one?
The dead can't be revived!
No matter what kind of effort you put in, in the end, it will all go to waste! "
Principal Romuse shook his head.
"Romuse, you really have gone senile!
"If I'm really aiming for the illusory goal of resurrecting the dead, why would they follow me?"
Smith showed a sense of mockery on his face. The bald, one-eyed, crippled professor took a deep breath and said word by word, "What we want is … to destroy the Mystic State!
To destroy the Mystic State that devoured countless of our family and friends! "
Smith almost roared out the last sentence.
Principal Romuse, who had been calm all this while, finally changed his face.
It wasn't just because of his old friend's words, it was also because he heard a series of explosions in his ears.
Naturally, Ol 'Amos knew very well what the rumbling represented.
"Smith, do you know what you are doing?"
Principal Romuse's aura skyrocketed rapidly. It was heavy, tenacious, and as heavy as a mountain. Principal Romuse, who was floating in mid-air, looked like a floating mountain. The unrivaled gravity from before fell down again, causing Senile and the others to wobble.
However, at the next moment, the gravity disappeared.
Smith, who had returned to his original appearance, stood in front of the gravity.
He looked at Principal Romuse, widened his mouth, and revealed a row of yellow teeth.
"Romuse, your opponent is me!"
Scorching flames gathered in mid-air again.
Smith turned into a flaming giant in an instant.
He opened his mouth wide and roared at Principal Romuse.
"Romuse, you and your old rules will perish together with me!"
Kaboom!
A pillar of fire as thick as a train was fired out from the flaming giant's mouth, grazing Principal Romuse's body and crashing into the gymnasium wall.
Immediately, a huge hole was melted into the wall, and the remaining flames splashed in all directions. The audience members ran around in panic, but soon, they realized that before the flames fell to the ground, they were already flying towards Gluttony's mouth.
"T-Delicious!"
Gluttony mumbled and continued to devour the Jiaolong.
Gluttony was much more tenacious and delicious than he thought.
He swore he had never tasted anything so delicious other than that snake.
"You are as annoying as your master!"
Smith, who had turned into a flaming giant, saw the scene, his eyes twitching rapidly. He then punched Gluttony with his right fist.
Wung!
Before the punch landed, a scalp-numbing roar sounded. Principal Romuse appeared in front of Gluttony without a second thought, blocking the punch for Gluttony.
The Ghost of Appetite's injury or death would affect its owner, and as the Ghost of Appetite's level increased, so would the effects.
According to Principal Romuse's speculations, given Gluttony's level, once it was injured or died, its owner, Kieran, would be heavily injured as well.
It was something Principal Romuse would never allow.
Kaboom!
Principal Romuse raised his fist and clashed with the flaming giant's fist.
Formless ripples burst out from the two fists, one big and one small. The flaming giant, who should have the upper hand in terms of size, fell into a disadvantageous position. Not only was its body pushed back, even the flames that formed its body were scattered. Of course, the flames that wanted to return to its body didn't even have the time to react and were sucked into Gluttony's mouth. Together with the Jiaolong that was being swallowed, crunching noises sounded.
"Damn it!"
Roars came from the flaming giant's mouth, it was punching Gluttony again and again like a madman. As expected, all the punches were blocked by Principal Romuse.
Gluttony, on the other hand, was devoured by Gluttony.
Kakrooom!
Strong gales clashed, and the sturdy gymnasium started to shake.
When Principal Romuse and the flaming giant clashed again, the huge ceiling of the gymnasium cracked open. A crack as wide as a palm started to spread across the ceiling, swiftly forming the shape of a spider web. Then, the whole gymnasium started to collapse.
"Leave now!
Everyone, leave now! "
The guards shouted loudly.
Because of the sudden turn of events, half of the audience seats were gone, and the rest of the audience hastened their steps to leave the gymnasium.
Even the teachers, including Leonard, were no exception.
However, Leonard, who had been paying attention to his friend, realized Senile wasn't moving at all.
"What are you doing?
Leave now!
This place is going to collapse soon! "
Leonard shouted at Senile in the passageway.
Even though Senile had betrayed him, Leonard couldn't bear to see him die in the ruins.
"I'm sorry."
Facing his friend, Senile's lips curled up with difficulty. He showed an extremely ugly smile and waved at his friend.
Although he had a lot of things to say to his friend, but …
He couldn't say them out loud.
All that was left was an apology.
After apologizing, Senile's face returned to its usual calm state.
He had bid his final farewell to his friend.
Senile looked at the like-minded people around him and was the first to walk to his spot: the center of the ring.
The rest of the people also began to move.
They either jumped into the ring or walked to the audience seats.
When everyone was in position, small knives appeared in their hands. They aimed at their wrists and slashed them hard.
Puk Puk Puk!
Blood gushed out, splattering on the walls and the floor.
However, the strange thing was, the blood didn't flow. Instead, it was absorbed by the walls and the floor.
Kakrooom!
The tremors in the gymnasium grew stronger.
Principal Romuse frowned when he saw the scene.
He noticed something was wrong, but he couldn't do anything to stop it. One needed to know Smith's strength was almost on par with him.
Fortunately, it was just Smith. If Bolt was here as well …
Hold on, Bolt?!
Principal Romuse's face changed when he thought of something.
Bolt and Smith were almost inseparable.
At first, when Smith pretended to be Kieran, Bolt had to hide, but now that Smith exposed himself, Bolt didn't have to hide anymore.
More so, Bolt's help to Smith in battle was self-explanatory.
But … Bolt wasn't here!
"Where's Bolt?"
Principal Romuse stared at the fiery giant.
"Why don't you take a guess?"
The fiery giant mocked Principal Romuse again, and at the same time, it hurled another punch.
This punch was the same as the previous attack. It was powerful and full of scorching heat. However, the difference was that this punch suddenly dissipated after it was thrown out halfway.
More precisely, the flames that formed the giant's body started to vanish into thin air.
A breath's time later, the fiery giant's core was revealed.
It wasn't Smith!
It was an unfamiliar middle-aged man!
The man's body was almost charred, like a piece of charcoal.
"Where's Smith?"
Principal Romuse asked in a heavy tone.
"Cough, cough, cough, why would I tell you where the lord went?
What a pity. I tried my best to use the power of the Seed of Fusion to make the lord's power stay on me for a while longer.
But … "
"I'm still too weak."
The stranger was coughing blood as he spoke, but his face was fanatical.
"Soon! Soon! "
"Everything will end soon!"
"Our lord's and our wish will come true!"
"These damned secret realms and beasts will never appear in this world again. Everyone will be able to return to their original peaceful and stable lives …"
Before the stranger could finish, his voice stopped abruptly, and he lost all signs of life. His eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to see the peaceful scene.
Ol 'Amos sighed softly.
He took a step forward and caught the man who was falling from the sky. He placed him steadily on the largest arena and closed his eyes.
"You're all wrong.
"I was wrong from the very beginning."
Ol 'Amos looked at Senile.
Senile, who was the most unreliable teacher among all the students, allowed the blood on his wrist to gush out, his face pale.
"You still haven't forgotten what happened back then?"
Principal Romuse asked.
"I'm not a fish, how can I forget what happened back then?"
Senile pouted in a self-mocking manner.
"Em."
Principal Romuse nodded.
He didn't need to ask anything else.
They were a bunch of pitiful people.
They fell into the past, unable to pull themselves out, and then … deceived.
Deceived by his old friend, willingly becoming a sacrifice.
No!
From now on, he no longer had that old friend!
All he had were enemies!
"Smith!"
Principal Romuse shouted angrily, raising his right hand up high and smashing it down on the ring beneath his feet.
Kaboom!
The punch shook the whole of Theorate, and after the punch, the big ring made of reinforced concrete crumbled instantly, revealing a secret passageway inside.
Principal Romuse jumped in without a second thought.
The secret passageway then quickly closed up.
Kak!
A clear crack later, the secret passageway closed up tightly, as if it was a real floor.
On top of that, the shaking gymnasium that felt like it was going to collapse stopped as well.
After the secret passageway closed up, a fire the size of a palm appeared out of thin air on the biggest ring.
Inside the fire, people were moving everywhere, crying, laughing, wailing, and cheering ceaselessly.
Bolt carried a big claypot on his back, jumping through the cracked ceiling of the gymnasium and nimbly landing beside the fire.
Then, Boulder shook his body and the clay pot on his back landed firmly on the fire.
Gulp, Gulp.
The moment the claypot touched the fire, a dense aroma spread out.
Not far away, Smith limped over.
His eyes were glued to the big claypot.
