Chapter 245: 245 The scene in the space-time tunnel was as awestriking as it was terrifying .
A never-ending sea of monsters of all the shapes and forms roaring and screeching in rage and hunger .
The terrifying scene was enough to freeze the bravest warrior . Fortunately, both Evelyn and I were experienced enough to know how to keep calm in any situation .
Evelyn waved her hand . Instantly, three magic circles appeared behind her . The magic circles then fused together in a giant three-layered magic circle shining with an ominous light .
"Fire, curse, and lightning . Descent and burn my enemies, [Fallen Heaven Burning Fire]!"
*BOOOOM!!!*
A giant sea of burning black fire and ominous lightning exploded . The sea of fire surged towards the army of monsters with unrelenting ferocity, burning hundreds of creatures instantly .
But–
*RAAAAAA!!!*
A monster roared . A giant Aligator-like monster opened his mouth and let out a powerful shockwave! The shockwave clashed against the fire and lightning pushing it away and stopping it from spreading!
Evelyn snorted and pointed her finger forward . Two small superposed magic circles appeared in front of her finger, rotating slowly . Then–
"[Heaven's Judgement]!"
The blinding ray of fire and lightning was shot at lightning speed, breaking through the sea of monsters and hitting the alligator in the chest!
*BOOOM!!!*
*ROOOOAAAAAARRRR!!!*
A scream of pain let the alligator's mouth . The ray of fire and lightning pierced its chest and crushed its heart, turning it into ashes .
But the alligator did not die . It roared again and extended its right claw, breaking through space and bringing with itself a heaven-destroying power!
The attack was so powerful and fast that Evelyn was unable to react . Moreover, the fact that a beast managed to use space laws was a shock towards her .
But even if she was unable to react I was different . With a grunt, I appeared in front of the alligator's claw, stopping it completely! Then, I pulled my other arm back before unleashing a powerful punch .
"TROOOOOOOONNNGGGGG!!!*
The punch compressed space, releasing its entire power on the alligator body .
Next, there was not next .
The alligator simply disappeared in a rain of flesh and blood .
"Focus in attacking, I'll take care of the defenses!"
Evelyn smirked . "So manly . " However, she obeyed my words .
Forgetting completely about defense, Evelyn put her entire focus into attack spells . Fire and lightning rained upon the monsters, killing hordes of them with each second .
But her efforts seemed useless . It was as though her attacks were unable to make a difference when a sea of monsters was advancing towards us .
At that moment, the people of the academy teleported through the portal . When the teachers saw the immense horder of monsters, their expressions paled .
"God…!"
"So many!"
"W-We need to fight this!?"
"What are you doing!?" Shouted Evelyn harshly . "Get a hold of yourselves! Katherine, Rose, stay behind and kill the straggles . The others, help me to kill the monsters!"
"""Yes, headmistress!"""
"What about the old man?"
"He stayed behind to stabilize the portal!" A teacher replied .
Headmistress Evelyn nodded . With the current state of the portal, it was true someone had to stay behind to stabilize it, and her teacher was the most appropriate for the job .
The monsters' attack intensified . Serpents, birds, wolves . The terrifying monsters moved towards the humans crazily, as though they wanted to drown them under a sea of claws and teeth .
"Dammit!" Evelyn cursed . Spell after spell were cast successively, attacking the zones where the monsters were the most concentrated .
Unfortunately, it was not so easy to kill them . Each time Evelyn used a relatively powerful spell, a powerful monster would appear to stop it from causing further damage .
The number of powerful monsters was staggering . Ninth and Tenth-layer monsters were common, and eleventh-layer monsters were not uncommon . Sometimes, a twelfth-layer monster would appear and attack the teachers furiously .
In fact, the teachers were unable to interfere when a monster stronger than the tenth layer appeared . Even although it was a team of ninth and tenth-layer powerhouses, in front of eleventh-layer or twelfth-layer monsters, they were unable to make a difference .
The ten teachers were unable to cause as much damage as Evelyn alone .
So, they put their entire focus in the weaker monsters, using their spells and attacks to thin their numbers and let Evelyn and I concentrate on the stronger monsters .
It was not a bad idea, save by the fact that ten teachers and two students were unable to face thousands of monsters by themselves .
Not to speak that Katherine and Rose had been relegated to only observing . Sometimes, they would throw and spell or two, but the powerful monsters would shrug them easily .
Yes, this battle was practically being fought mostly by Evelyn and me alone!
"Clark, my mana will not last long at this rate!" Evelyn shouted .
I frowned . "Focus in the twelfth-layer monsters and below and try to use your mana sparingly . I'll take care of the strongest monsters!"
"I understand!"
Following my suggestion, Evelyn started to focus on the monsters I asked her to . She used individual spells to shot these monsters down and tried to kill them without using more than one spell!
But that meant that I had to take care of the stronger monsters by myself . Moreover, I was also in charge of defending the group .
… I wonder what headmistress Evelyn would have done if I'm not here .
Unfortunately, I did not have time to think that question .
At that moment, I felt the presence of before .
The strong one that attacked us in the portal, the owner of the arm .
With a roar, a humongous one-eyed and one-armed giant charged towards us . The monster charged through the horde of monster, crushing hundreds of monsters below its feet before reaching towards our position .
*ROOOOOAAAAAARRRRR!!!*
The angry one-eyed monster roared . It raised its remaining arm and punched towards me!
"Hmph!" I snorted . With a wave of my hand, a barrier appeared and stopped the punch of the monster . Then, I raised my feet and kicked towards the giant's head .
But before my attack could reach it, a premonition of danger hit me .
I did not hesitate . My body tensed up and flashed away .
The next instant, a pillar of fire hit my position!
When I reappeared, I looked in front of me .
At some point, a giant serpent had appeared behind the one-eyed monster and snarled to me .
Then, I hear a voice reverberating through the space-time tunnel .
