Chapter 191: Chapter 191
Back at Sylphid Academy, the armoured woman let out a battle cry. She ran towards a blue-haired female soldier with full speed, “Go, commander”, the blue-haired female soldier said while swinging her wand. “Rargh!” the armoured woman shouted. She leapt forward right at the same time the blue-haired female soldier waved her wand. Mana particle glistered around the armoured woman, empowering her. “Die!” the armoured woman shouted, brandishing her sword right at the gigantic monstrous creature’s head.
The armoured woman’s sword was coated with wind magic earlier, making her sword sharper than ever before, managed to cleanly cut the gigantic monstrous creature’s head. The armoured woman landed with a roll before panting hard, “Is that it?” she observed her surroundings. After seeing that all the monstrous creatures were all dead, the armoured woman breathed a sigh of relief. After that, the armoured woman straightened up her posture; she raised her sword up high, “Victory!” she shouted triumphantly. The armoured woman’s soldier, along with the adventurers and Sydney plus her two bodyguards, all cheered in unison, “Hurrah!” they raised their weapon in the air.
Principal Helga watched all of this with a smile on her face. Then, she looked at the sun that was rising over the horizon and sighed, “I hope all of this goes to plan”, she muttered while remembering the talk she had with a certain raven-haired young man.

A few days ago,
Right after Eru and Sydney finished their training with the armoured woman, Eru met with Principal Helga on his way back to his room. “What are you doing here, so late, young man?” Principal Helga asked with her hands on her back. “Just a late-night training”, Eru replied nonchalantly. Principal Helga nodded, “Seeing that you’re awake, can I grab you for a second?” Eru shrugged his shoulders, “Sure.” Principal Helga flashed a gentle smile, “Okay, follow me.” After that, Principal Helga led Eru around the Sylphid Academy’s corridors until, eventually, they arrived at the entrance of a secret chamber in the basement.
“What is this place?’ Eru furrowed his eyebrows as he calmly observed his surroundings. Principal Helga smiled slightly while gently touching the door, “You will know when you walked in.” Right after Principal Helga said that the door towards the secret chamber opened up. “Come in”, Principal Helga gestured with her hand. Eru walked into the secret chamber, followed by Principal Helga before the door to the secret chamber closed on its own. Once they were inside, Eru’s eyes opened wide as he saw a familiar white space greet him. “This place—” Eru turned his body around, observing the surrounding white space.
“Welcome to the trial ground, Fate Master”, a familiar mechanical voice resounded in the entire white room, assaulting Eru’s ear. “As I thought. A Fate Master”, Principal Helga smiled while nodding towards Eru. Eru immediately became warry of Principal Helga as he summoned his black sword into his hand while Eru’s raven-coloured aura rose. “Who are you?” Eru tensed his whole body. Principal Helga just smiled at Eru’s reaction as she walked past Eru. Then, Principal Helga crouched down; she put her hand on the floor, “Bypass trial, password, Aelgh”, she muttered. Then, the familiar mechanical voice resounded once again, “Password accepted. Trial bypassed. Welcome back, Administrator Aelgh.”
After that, both Eru and Principal Helga were transported into somewhere else. Like what Eru experienced before, as soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself somewhere different. Eru found himself in a middle of a garden, filled with a plethora of different plants species and flowers. “Welcome to my garden”, Principal Helga said to Eru while spreading her arms wide. Eru became even more wary as he gripped his black sword tight, “Who are you?” Eru asked once again. Principal Helga smiled, “I will tell you in a second. But, before that, please follow me.” Eru furrowed his eyebrows; he watched Principal Helga was walking away, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to follow her.
Principal Helga led Eru through her beautiful garden until, eventually, they arrived right in front of a humble house near the edge of the garden. Principal Helga opened the wooden door to her house, “Please, after you”, she gestured. Eru slowly entered Principal Helga’s humble house. After that, Principal Helga closed the door gently before leading Eru to her living room. “Please, sit”, Principal Helga gestured, “Do you want anything to drink? Water, tea?” she offered. Eru did not reply, however. Eru closed his lips while observing his surroundings. Principal Helga slightly shook her head with a small smile, “Tea it is, then”, she said as she headed towards the kitchen.
After a while, Principal Helga came back with two cups of tea. Then, Principal Helga put one cup on the table near Eru while she held the other cup. Principal Helga sat leisurely before Eru, sipping her tea, “Now, what do you want to ask?” Principal Helga asked with a smile. Eru furrowed his eyebrows even more as the smile of the principal in front of him seemed mysterious and scary.

Long leisurely strolled along the dark corridor inside the bunker third underground floor, following Eru’s energy structure. On the way, Long was met with resistance as there were still many undead monstrous creatures around. However, to Long, the resistance of the undead monstrous creatures was nothing to him. Long even found that the undead monstrous creatures’ attacks were starting to get boring. “Roar!” three undead monstrous creatures emerged from the ground below, behind Long, trying to sneak-attack him. Long shook his head, “This is getting annoying now”, Long muttered before instantly destroying three undead monstrous creatures.
After a brief distraction, Long continued to stroll along the dark corridor. Eventually, Long arrived at a dark corridor where the wall was crashed. “I guess brother Eru went this way”, Long said while he followed Eru’s trail. After walking for a while, Long came across a huge door. Behind the door, Long could hear the sound of fightings. Long smiled; he put his hand on the huge door before sending out mana pulse, opening the large door in an instant. Long squinted his eyes when he felt the massive amount of dead energy inside the room. Immediately, Long knew the one responsible for this massive amount of dead energy. “Lich”, Long muttered.

The fight between Eru and the black-cloaked, blonde-haired armoured lady was still underway. Eru’s raven-coloured aura was flying everywhere, killing every undead monstrous creature that the black-cloaked, blonde-haired armoured lady summoned. “This is useless”, Eru killed another undead monstrous creature, “Just come out here and accept your death”, Eru said while crushing the head of an undead monstrous creature with his bare hand. The black-cloaked, blonde-haired armoured lady chose to not reply. Instead, she stayed patient, opting to do a battle of attrition. After all, the black-cloaked, blonde-haired armoured lady could sense that the raven-coloured protective membrane around Eru was something dangerous and incomplete.
If something incomplete was able to pressure her so much, even causing her entire body to tremble, the black-cloaked, blonde-haired armoured lady did not dare to imagine if Eru was to complete his transformation. The black-cloaked, blonde-haired armoured lady knew that her energy was endless as long as she stayed on the third floor. So, instead of facing Eru head-on and risking death, the black-cloaked, blonde-haired armoured lady prefered the strategy that she used now. However, every time she came out to attack Eru, the black-cloaked, blonde-haired armoured lady could feel that death was close approaching, making her body shiver slightly.
Just as the black-cloaked, blonde-haired armoured lady entered one of her summoned undead monstrous creatures, a voice reverberated across the massive oval room. “Need any help, brother Eru?” Long asked while taking out his iconic red staff. Eru looked in Long’s direction while casually killing one of the undead monstrous creatures, “Did you finish your battle? How’s your body?” Eru asked with concern. Long shook his head, “Don’t worry about me, brother Eru. Our race is born with a freakishly tough body, with me being no exception.” Eru smiled, “Then, help me take care of these undead bastards. My abilities aren’t suited in these kinds of battles.”
Long let out a massive grin, “Sure. Leave it to me” right after he said that, Long leapt into the air before landing right at the centre of the horde of undead monstrous creatures. Then, Long twirled his red staff, sending fire everywhere, burning the undead monstrous creatures that were in its path. While Long was busy dealing with the rest of the undead monstrous creatures, a smaller undead monstrous creature was standing right in front of Eru. Eru let out a mocking smile, “Now, what?” he taunted with a cheeky grin on his face. The black-cloaked, blonde-haired armoured lady tore apart the body of the undead monstrous creature with her bare hands as she came from inside the creature.
Anger rose from within the black-cloaked, blonde-haired armoured lady as she scoffed with disdain, “You bastard!”
