Chapter 114
Yates became almost frozen . It was as if he had hit an invisible wall upon seeing what Glenn had accomplished . Sam was too shocked to flap his wings to stay in the air and fell, crashing down hard on the ground . Kyrie and the mouse on his shoulder appeared mesmerized by the sky . Bionna was blown backwards into a stone pillar, and the sharp pain at that moment reminded her that everything going on was real . Nina had stayed on that stone pillar, screaming, but her voice was drowned out by the surrounding noise .
Mina was standing right in front of her elder sister to keep her from any danger . She stared blankly at the person in the sky ——"the enemy dictated by fate . "
At that moment, all of the students were staring at the student in metal armor, and they all had the same question in their minds .
"Is this real?"
These people even stopped fleeing out of instinct . Instead, they just rubbed their eyes hard and looked more carefully at the ice cave and the student from section 15 inside it . They then shifted their gaze to the metal armored man again to make sure that he was actually the winner .
In that moment, a dismissive laugh sounded from the sky . "Is this all that a monster from can manage?" Glenn asked in his mind .
The dark emotion of arrogance began to grow in Glenn's heart . But as he was about to cast another sorcery and completely finish off the so-called monster from section 15, his body suffered a shock .
The transparent Ashen Mask on his face broke and then he threw up very badly .
The vomiting was followed by a jarring buzz in his ears, and he felt as if every cell in his body was being affected by high-frequency shock waves . His head became full of the clashing sounds of dagger and sword from before . Every cell of his body was vibrating in a certain frequency .
Glenn's body continued trembling and his face became so pale that his newly gained arrogance disappeared completely .
In a quivering voice without a hint of pride, Glenn murmured . "Was it some sort of sound wave sorcery Mille had talked about? It reminds me of what Fake Faceless Nilmar did back on the ship!"
As Glenn trembled, blood started oozing out from the pores of his skin and he was soon soaked in blood .
Meanwhile, the ends of his limbs began to break up and became flexible as mollusks, and soon some even morphed into uncanny tentacle shapes . They had broken away from the control of Glenn's brain and become a certain sort of independent creatures .
He could feel that he had been reduced into a horrible condition . His pupils even constricted a little, and his heavy, panicked breath revealed his inner fear . He would never, ever forget what the subjects had experienced on the tables of that laboratory as their Life Codes were fiddled with .
"Oh, no! That's what is happening to me! My Life Code is cracking?"
Once Glenn's Life Code crack started widening infinitely, then his whole body would certainly be torn piece by piece into innumerable self-independent creatures . Then Glenn would meet his fate——a tragic death .
In his hurry, Glenn threw a look at the insanely morphing arms and tried his best to control one of the tentacles that were spawning off from it . Finally the tentacle managed to locate a leaf in his underwear and dragged it up to his mouth, which Glenn immediately grabbed with his teeth . Afterwards the tentacle fished out a vial and poured the liquids inside into his mouth .
This leaf was no other than the high grade Life Leaf Glenn had bought on the fourth floor of Black Tower, and that vial of potion was a precious medicine to increase body constitution temporarily .
His cell strength and activity increased fast subsequently after the quick consumption of energy . And his constitution grew to somewhere between 15 to 20 points which meant that Glenn could hang in there for about minutes . With the improvement of physical activity and vitality, the morphing tentacles in Glenn's arms began to retract slowly and soon he had recovered, and the blood covering his skin was swallowed by the tentacles as they retracted .
Glenn let out a relieved breath as he calmed down . Pride flickered on his face .
"Somebody who was labeled monster by Mina, and who won against Mille, he must be no ordinary student . He would stand somewhere between less-gifted legendary student and the school's protectors . "
At this moment, Glenn suddenly felt excited .
"That's it . There are geniuses out there on the Sorcerer Continent, people who are way more powerful than me . In this case, I won't feel lonely and won't get bored at all along the way because there would be quite a great deal of students like him who would never cease aspiring to greater heights!"
A sound of movement echoed in the ice cave, and soon a man in the black robe flew up, and now his overbearing arrogance was nowhere to be found . Only the bells in his chest kept ringing .
The corners of his mouth were stained by blood and his body was showing the color of metals, except for his face which was ghastly pale . But like Glenn, his eyes were gleaming with excitement .
Two strangers who had never met before looked at each other and found that they felt a connection with each other, not least because they had caused mutual, serious damage .
"Great! It's been so many years and, finally I see another self, a reflection of me . May I have your name, student from section 12?" Hill Woods masked the conceit in his expression .
It seemed that one would only grow too contented with themselves when there was no enemy coming their way .
Since Hill's power was so formidable, it could be assumed that he was a high IQ student who distinguished himself from those aliens existent on the foreign worlds whose hubris was fragilely-grounded .
It could also be presumed that Hill might not have been his present self several decades ago .
When he found that no one from section 15 could ever come close to posing a threat to him, and as people even crouched before him with terror, he became increasingly self-centered and respected no one . The students back on the ship addressing Lafite by "Her Majesty" partially accounted for her now surreptitious behaviors .
