The fact that he had escaped death so many times before wasn't due to his ability to hide in plain sight; rather, it was due to the attackers' apparent underestimation of him. He would have been killed long ago if he had fought them head on. He required some sort of advantage. He had to take advantage of every opportunity that came his way.
When they finally started attacking in earnest, Zavier easily dodged and avoided every blow. He almost seemed to be dancing around them, which irritated them because he refused to focus on them. When he was about to charge forward again, he heard a loud cracking sound and a chunk of stone fell to the ground beside him.
It turned out that his opponent was still casting a spell to slow him down, but the spell had now failed.
He saw the rock in front of him shatter into smaller rocks as he looked at it. He shook his head and turned to face the four opponents, who had retreated to a ten-meter distance from each other. He was curious how much mana they had left to keep attacking.
———————————
Nadia and Kacie snuck out the back door.
The two did not dare to enter the battle because the killer was too quick, and if they released the spell and were unable to hit the enemy, they would become the target of the opposing side. If the enemy found out them and blackmailed Zavier, they would become a liability.
They were both afraid that if they joined in, something would happen to them, but they also wanted to help him, but what could two young girls possibly do when the enemy had already formed an alliance with the professors?
The girls' most terrifying discovery during their escape was that they hadn't seen anyone else coming from the North Building.
However, they soon discovered Zavier and the group of five inside the east building.
As they stepped outside, they discovered that they were surrounded on all sides by thick walls, indicating that this was a fortified castle made entirely of concrete blocks. At least twenty-one towers of similar design rose throughout the city, implying that the entire structure was a fortress. They were most emphatically not alone.
Nadia's face became paler. This structure was much larger than she had anticipated, and the enemies were formidable. Even if they couldn't fight all of them, it should have taken at least a dozen people to bring them down if they'd joined forces. She shivered as she realized how powerful they were.
Fortunately, the main building was still standing.
They took deep breaths and made their way inside, their bodies drenched in sweat.
"I guess we'll die today, huh?" Kacie, clearly shaken, asked.
Nadia didn't respond, instead remaining focused on the doorway.
Her gaze was drawn to the east building's door, a portion of which had been blown open. A woman with short silver hair and sharp blue eyes emerged from the hole from a distance.
Although the Kekkaishi had a strong layout ability, the majority of them were also the easiest to kill.
The Kekkaishi's combat power was undeniably the weakest in a one-on-one fight.
They were secretly pursuing Kekkaishi.
"I'll sneak up on him with the dagger to draw attention, and you handle it," Kacie explained quickly.
Nadia jumped a little, knowing she couldn't help Zavier, but crossing the line was always an option.
"Don't be soft, make sure you kill her," Kacie said quietly as she was about to do it.
Nadia froze for a moment, but she quickly realized that this was not a simple matter, and that the most important thing was to save her life.
'What are they used for?'
No one cared anymore; a boundary of this size was used to attack, and even if the wrong person was killed, it could only be considered bad luck for these attackers.
Kacie controlled a dagger shot at the Kekkaishi with speed.
The fast flying dagger pierced the air, leaving a long trail of air behind it.
"Boom!"
Just as the ordinary dagger was about to strike the Kekkaishi, it exploded in the air.
It sounded like it had struck something.
Several more daggers flew towards the Kekkaishi from behind the tower.
These daggers could attack from multiple directions due to their multi-threaded control.
The Kekkaishi turned her head to look at the daggers for the first time, and the green glow they emitted drew her attention.
"I was blessed by the forest God," the Kekkaishi said softly.
Her voice, like the voices of those talented singers, was lovely.
A small tree root was seen growing out of the ground. The root grew bigger and bigger as some kind of magic worked on it, and it eventually turned into a huge tree man.
"A seed of a tree-man warrior has been catalyzed!"As she stared at the tall tree man in front of her, Kacie exclaimed. Only to see the tree man stumble towards Kacie and Nadia's hiding place.
The ground started shaking violently.
However, the Kekkaishi abruptly turned her head back in the direction of the high tower's entrance.
"Pooh!" Two of those four extremely skilled fighters were instantly killed.
The paladin returned to Kekkaishi immediately and reported, "The information is incorrect, his flesh possesses at least B-rank strength."
"The blood blade magic mastery proficiency is very high, even my power is restrained against him, he doesn't care about blood consumption at all."
The paladin and Kekkaishi both looked at Zavier in front of them.
Zavier gave them a cold stare and said, "Who is interested in my life? Your lives will be saved if you can provide me with answers to my questions."
He used a remote control to send his illusionist clone rushing towards this place. Judging by how well this paladin and the other killers worked together, the power behind them was not small.
Not to mention being able to call a Kekkaishi who could use the Tree Boundary and the Hunter's specially trained tree-human warriors.
The majority of former Kekkaishi served in the Hierarchy's special departments, where their very powerful supporting abilities allowed them to make the most of their abilities in group combat.
The latter breeding tree warriors typically required B-class Hunter Department professionals, and Hunter Department professionals were more commonly found among the elves, as tree warriors were the elves' unique skills.
There were humans, but not many of them were powerful. After all, living in the elves' ancient forests provided a decidedly advantageous position in the Hunter Department of occupation due to the quality of magical potions and ease of collection.
The killer, who collaborated closely with the rigorous and close, was able to casually take out the valuable tree-man warrior seeds as well as the sealing object, which allowed them to freely travel through Caesar's College.
The mastermind behind the scenes really laid down a lot of money to kill him.
They didn't say anything and just stood there quietly.
Kekkaishi made a sudden gesture, and the paladin charged at Zavier desperately.
The hatched treeman warrior was standing in the middle of Kekkaishi, Kacie, and Nadia.
"Are you attempting to flee?"
These guys now knew a part of his strength, and he didn't want Kekkaishi to go back and report on it.
Zavier's hand was no longer held back, and two blood arrows shot straight at the paladin in front of him as soon as the hand was free.
The paladin raised his hand to block, a massive bloody scythe slashed out of nowhere. The paladin didn't have time to consider the direction in which the surrounding blood would appear weapons, and the scythe's sharp blade severed his head.
Zavier's speed had not slowed at that point, and he had already arrived behind Kekkaishi in three or two steps. He raised both of his hands and slammed them down on Kekkaishi's back! As a loud sound echoed in the air, the Kekkaishi felt something hit her from behind.The pain caused her to drop to one knee, but she recovered quickly enough to stand up without missing a beat. The blood-red eyes glared at Zavier, a surprised expression on their faces.
She was astounded that she had been injured by a single hit from Zavier. But it shouldn't matter because he was able to defeat those men before they even got close.
"Impossible," she grumbled.
Suddenly, an invisible force appeared around Zavier's feet, and he vanished in a split second, leaving only faint footsteps behind him.
"How does he do this?" Kacie exclaimed in amazement. "I couldn't react because he was moving so fast; I'M GONNA DIE HERE! NEEEEEAAAHHHHH!!!"
"You should concentrate on what the enemy is attempting to do instead!" said Nadia harshly.
"Yeah... but-"
The earth rumbled beneath their feet again before Kacie could finish speaking, and the giant tree man advanced once more. The Kekkaishi, on the other hand, did not wait patiently for him this time. She dashed away from the wall, straight for the massive tree behind which Zavier had vanished.
Zavier emerged from the corner she had been running past a few moments earlier as soon as the woman got close enough. He brought his right arm forward and slammed it hard on her neck, then lifted it slightly up, giving the impression that he wasn't holding her neck at all. The tremendous force exerted by his muscles increased the pressure on her windpipe to the point where Kekkaishi's mouth was filled with blood.
"Pooh!" The long knife pierced her heart in an instant.
"Eh, eh!" The skull and half of Kekkaishi's body had already passed through the boundary.
But her body was out of her control, and as she looked down, the long bloody blade penetrated her chest, and her brain lost consciousness instantly.
The bodies of the Paladin and Kekkaishi were taken into the storage space by Zavier, and a cold blaze burned directly over the rest of the bodies.
The bodies of the graduates and the two Macefield idiots were left in place.
Zavier also promptly removed the skull that had fallen to the ground.
It was a good thing, because even his Time Space Eye couldn't see through the holder's true face, and it could also help owners cross the boundary, but he didn't know if this skull had a negative impact.
The boundary in the sky, which was made entirely of interconnected roots, vanished quickly.
Those roots quickly turned into dead branches that lost moisture and fell to the ground in pieces.
Outside the boundary, it was empty, and there was a lot of noise, but no one came to look.
Zavier could sense the gravity of the situation.
Kacie and Nadia rushed to his side after confirming that he had suffered no injuries, putting their minds at ease.
