At this moment, Zephu Kano was in no mood to waste time with Kaiya. She only knew that the situation was urgent. Even if the principal was not at the academy, she had to let an experienced elder take charge.
Kaiya's status was indeed very high, but his experience was too shallow to command the respect of others.
"Hmm?" Zephu Kano's peripheral vision suddenly noticed something strange about the score tracker in her hand.
"Is there a problem, Teacher Zephu?"
Zephu Kano stared intently at the numbers on the score tracker, speechless.
The focus wasn't on how terrifying the number was, but that the number was currently rising frantically like it had gone mad, with no intention of stopping.
Zephu Kano subconsciously thought the score tracker in her hand was malfunctioning, but everyone else's points were normal.
Only that first-place entry appeared exceptionally abnormal. It was still climbing even now!
200
300
500
...
"What on earth?" she said in disbelief.
Several other teachers crowded around, and only then did the first-place points begin to show a slowing trend, finally freezing at 2,990 points!
"2,990 points? He's cheating!" a teacher blurted out in shock.
...
The wind whipped through the residual sand, charging recklessly across the empty plains, swirling dead grass and bloodstains into a mess.
The corpse of a wild wolf lay slumped over a pile of rubble, its limbs twisted and its head drooping, connected to its torso only by skin as thin as a thread.
And such gruesome corpses were everywhere in this desolate wasteland. The world was utterly silent at this moment, save for the howling wind, which sounded like countless dying whimpers.
A young girl stood on the only high ground in the wasteland. Her face was cold, without a single ripple of emotion.
She stood there quietly, unmoving, as if she were the sole ruler of this world.
However, beneath this surface, the real Grinya was still shaken.
After killing the dagger goblin, the Lord Evil God had controlled her body to walk out of the forest. The journey had been smooth, and they hadn't encountered any danger.
Until they came here and were hunted by the wilderness wolf clan.
This pack of wolves had gone mad, risking their entire clan to hunt her down.
If not for the Lord Evil God's exquisite skills repeatedly leading her out of danger, she probably would have been eliminated long ago.
But even so, because the number of wolves was simply too great, she had still been injured.
Fortunately, in her puppet state, she felt no fatigue or pain.
The bad news was, she didn't know how far she was from death.
"I've discovered a very serious problem."
A flat voice echoed in her ear. Grinya froze, her heart leaping into her throat at those words from the Lord Evil God.
If even the Lord Evil God considered it a serious problem, could it be that this accident on Wuxin Island had already exceeded the Lord Evil God's control?
No way. If even a god found it troublesome, what was a weak human like her supposed to do?
Just as Grinya was fraught with tension, the Lord Evil God's next sentence followed immediately.
"I'm lost..."
In front of his computer desk, Lu Xun supported his forehead with both hands, his face full of agony.
Although he was used to this game making its maps huge, he had clearly still underestimated the madness of the game designers.
And damn it, it was one thing for this dungeon to have no map, but why wasn't there even a quest guidance route!
He was going to complain, complain!!!
At this thought, Lu Xun huffily took out a small notebook and jotted down a point:
The main story dungeon lacks map prompts and quest guidance.
"Sigh, nothing for it then. I'll just have to wander around blindly."
As he muttered to himself, he opened his inventory and consumed a health potion.
The health bar at the very bottom, which was almost empty, instantly surged upward by a large margin.
Grinya returned to her senses and found a faint green light emanating from her body. All her wounds began to fade away as if they had never existed.
This miraculous scene stunned her. She stared blankly at the potion in her hand, which looked so ordinary that it seemed like a mysterious little drink one could buy anywhere on the street.
This thing was actually so powerful?!
However, the Lord Evil God didn't give her more time to think. She leapt down from the high ground and, after randomly picking a direction, began to walk forward.
After killing hundreds of wilderness wolves, the character's level was only one step away from Level 10.
As the level increased, not only was more experience required, but killing low-level magical beasts also yielded very little experience.
If he wanted to continue leveling up, Lu Xun felt he might need to find a way to track down a higher-level monster.
...
A black-robed man stepped onto the cool stone slabs. The sunlight overhead spilled onto the tree-lined avenue, feeling as warm as the sun in reality.
But the black-robed man was in no mood for a sunbath. From his hurried footsteps, one could feel that his mood was currently very unpleasant.
That feeling of being coerced, of being forced to do things he didn't like, made him feel miserable as always, yet he had no ability to resist.
He was like a scrap of paper wrapped in a current, with no ending other than drifting along, being constantly worn down until he vanished.
With that terrifying fellow on Wuxin Island, how could the plan possibly succeed?
The black-robed man gave a bitter smile as his thoughts suddenly returned to a few days ago.
He remembered it was still morning. He had just finished a mission and then went to a hidden stronghold to meet Moen.
But the state of the secret room at that time—a complete mess—left him dazed, as if some horrific explosion had occurred.
Unfortunately, at that time, everyone including Moen and the other bishops were unharmed.
"Moen, what are you doing?" he asked.
Moen patted the dust off his body, his face covered in large patches of blood.
"Don't worry, it was just a small attempt. Unfortunately, it failed." Moen didn't look at him, his gaze remaining fixed on the magic circle in the center of the secret room.
"You're going to awaken the God of Chaos now? That's too reckless!" There was a faint hint of anger in his words.
"Morai, haven't I taught you?" Moen suddenly snapped his head around, glaring at him fiercely. "If your heart does not hold the proper respect for the gods, do not speak the Divine Name!"
Just as he finished speaking, an ancient and profound voice echoed from somewhere, appearing to come from the void itself:
"How interesting..."
The moment this voice sounded, everyone's expressions turned to terror before they hurriedly knelt on the ground.
He was trembling with even more fear, with only one thought in his mind:
Did Moen and the others succeed?
The secret room fell silent. Everyone knelt, quietly waiting for further guidance from that voice.
"Hmm... I can sense that an interesting existence has appeared nearby..."
The voice seemed to let out a light chuckle, causing everyone's hearts to skip a beat in fear.
"To my surprise, although your ritual failed to fully awaken me, it unexpectedly awakened something quite unanticipated."
Everyone was stunned, especially Moen, whose heart was currently in a state of turmoil.
The God of Chaos's meaning was already very clear!
They had tried to revive the God of Chaos and failed, but because of that, they had revived another being of the same tier of existence as the God of Chaos!
Without a doubt, that was a god!
As for whether that being was a righteous god or an evil god, no one knew.
At the thought that the ritual they prepared had not only failed but had also awakened an even more terrifying existence, everyone's hearts were trembling with fear!
