From MC’s perspective:

After appearing outside, I saw there was a hidden door that was half opened. Seeing that I quickly entered the hidden passage and started walking forward. ．

Walking, I started to come across a broken body part of a centipede-type monster on the ground. The numbers seem to be increasing as I go further inside.

A look of understanding dawned on me. Earlier, I had cleaned those centipede-type monsters by using the domain spell.

But now it looks like the monster is coming from a different place. A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.

The monster doesn’t seem to be ordinary. And I hadn’t heard of this monster before. So the crown forest was indeed home to many unknown monsters.

After pushing down these thoughts, I started walking forward. Not long after, I heard a terrifying scream from ahead.

Hearing that I paused my movements and looked around. There was indeed a low scream sound. But it was low.

The only person I could think of was Mark. What happened to him? A hint of apprehension appeared on my face.

I stood in the same spot for a few seconds. But there was no warning from the system. So whatever it is, it’s not coming for me.

What could make him sound like that? Then I calmed down my heart before making a firm decision.

If there is any danger ahead, I can always use the Gregor Mansion to hide inside.

On the other hand, Mark was in terrible condition. The Giant Centipede monster took a bite of him. Including his right hand. Mark’s lower body was gone.

“Pfff”

Blood is gushing out from the body. At this moment, he was simply dying. The vitality was slipping away fast. But Mark still has traces of clarity in his thoughts.

Yet the overwhelming pain is making his number sense. He opened his eyes and looked at the monster. Even after ripping apart the body, the monster is still locked in his position.

His upper party remained frozen in the middle of the air.

The Centipede monster is simply playing with the enemy. Seeing that the enemy is dying slowly. The monster wide opened its mouth.

The next moment, it swallowed the upper part of the body.

“No!” Mark let out an unwilling sound. But it can’t be helped. His remaining body was swallowed up by the monster.

“Pfff”

The Giant Centipede crushed the body with its sharp tooth. The next moment, a torrent of blood filled its mouth.

It’s the blood and organs of the level-6 wizard. For evil wizards, it’s an extremely important resource.

But here the 8th-order monster is simply chewing the wizard’s corpse.

Meanwhile,

Meteor Academy:

At the same time, a loud alarm bell sounded in the Meteor Academy. The Bell continues to ring 6 times. Which means a level-6 wizard was dead.

Which immediately caused alarm and panic among the wizard students. Very rarely do they get to hear the ominous sound.

Because no one dares to offend the Meteor Academy. Which is a National Academy and part of the government.

Right now, everyone is curious to know what happened.

On the other hand, one of the Meteor Academy’s black airships is getting closer to the academy.

People are standing on the deck. Rosy and Daisy are talking while enjoying the view. The Remaining 2 group leaders are resting in their room.

While the level-5 wizards are resting in the main room. The space of the main room was wide. There is no problem accommodating 50 people.

This airship is specifically customized for the academy for travel.

Beep~

The 4 level-6 wizards on the ship received an emergency response to their communication watch.

Rosy and Daisy stopped talking and looked at their messages. But when they read the whole message.

Both of their expressions change drastically.

“Mark is dead!” Rosy’s expression turned pale with fright. They are returning from the Crown Forest. Then what could have caused Mark’s death?

Daisy’s body starts trembling. The news has caused a huge blow to them. Mark is the most cautious among the group. To think he was gone now.

Daisy and Rosy’s state of mind has hit hard.

Creak~

The other 2 male wizards walked out in fear as well. Both of them are scared by the news.

The next moment, the black airship starts to move at full speed towards the destination. The death of the level-6 Meteor Academy is not a small thing.

They knew Mark refused to come back because of a mission. So Mark died during the mission.

Back in the academy, the Meteor Academy’s dean has called for a high-level meeting. Unlike the neighboring country with a huge population.

For Meteor Country, every awakened person is valuable to the country. As long as they joined the National Academy. They are considered as part of a government.

Especially those wizards who are at level 6 and above are considered the backbone of the academy.

So the Meteor Academy has a strict policy to guarantee their safety. Soon the high-level force would be dispatched.

Meanwhile,

Crown Forest:

I don’t know what is going on. But I’m walking forward slowly. Not long after, I saw a bright light ahead. Their light seems to be small. But I know it’s daylight.

The light is coming from the surface. The next second, I felt a huge weight have lifted off from my shoulder.

But still, the sense of crisis is not gone completely. Mark’s status is unknown. After taking a deep breath, I continued to walk forward.

Along the way, I came across splattered body parts of centipede monsters. Looks like Mark had slaughtered his way towards the exit.

I have to leave this place. Otherwise, if the time goes on the weird gas coming from the corpses might fill the tunnel.

Soon, I reached closer to the bright light. As I got closer, I saw it coming from the surface. A faint smile appeared on my face.

The bright light is illuminating the surroundings. The state of the tunnel can be seen clearly.

Then I started rushing forward. After arriving at the spot, I used the flight ability to appear in mid-air.
