"Here you go," Elina said, handing Kashish a health potion.

Taking the health potion, Kashish gulped it down. Her haggard face regained some clarity as her eyes stabilized.

"Take your time. Until then, let us deal with it," said Elina as she stood up and walked to Sirius's side.

"Elina, do you have some plans for it? Or should I handle it?" Asked Sirius.

Strangely, looking at Sirius; Elina felt his reaction a bit too much. Right now, he acted rather excitedly and eager.

"Do you have some use for it?" she asked, pointing at the demon with a disgusted expression. After all, she already had a demon residing in her consciousness, and looking at the one in front of her, she despised or for it's disgusting abilities.

"Well," Sirius said, rubbing his hands together as his eyes shone in the darkness, "It's just that I want to eat it," he said.

"What?" Stupified by his response, Elina blurted in shock.

"Well, I am a werewolf and I can gain strength by eating. As for this demon in front of me, its powers align very well with my powers. Therefore, if I can eat it; I will get stronger and might as well unlock new powers," Sirius justified as he looked at her expectantly.

"Ohh, sure go ahead. I have no use for it," Hearing his rather long explanation, Elina let him be as she understood that strength came before everything.

"Thanks," He nodded and then stepped forward. His mouth changed as his eyes turned blood red. A row of sharp teeth appeared as he opened his maw.

As for the demon, it was constantly trying to flee when it saw the terrifying maw of death open to it.

"What?" the demon thought in shock as it realized, "My end is nigh," Thinking, the demon resigned to its fate and gave up any resistance.

"Crunch.." Sirius closed his maw as he chewed the demon. Crunching noises came from his mouth as he closed his eyes and started assimilating the demon.

On the other hand, Kashish saw as the two in front of her took over the demon in a rather calm manner and one of them even ate the demon whole.

"Just what are they?" She thought to herself.

Then, thinking back to how they were related to Ray, she sighed as she knew that the ones with that person were monsters themselves, so no wonder he was even stronger. The bloody face still reflected in front of her eyes as she remembered how Ray slayed the trolls left and right.

"Gulp," Sirius gulped as he had eaten the whole demon. Then, turning to Elina he spoke,

"Only absorbing it is left. That should take some time, so let's get moving,"

"Okay," Nodded Elina and then turned around as she looked at Kashish and asked,

"You all right? If so, lets move,"

"Yes, I am better," Kashish spoke as she stood up rather weakly. Although she was better, her strength hadn't recovered completely, and aligning with them was the better option.

Nodding, the three left the corridor. Arriving in front of the students who still stood at the entrance of the corridor, Sirius spoke, "Let's move forward. The corridor is safe,"

Meanwhile,

In the middle of the academy building. A huge open space remained, and in the open space were various trolls littered all around. Blood filled the floor and in the very middle stood a man whose whole body was covered in blood.

The man's breathing was ragged while his eyes filled with the ferocity of a beast. His blood-drenched hair covered his eyes as he looked absolutely intimidating.

The person was Ray, under the effect of his title Berserker; he had brutally killed every single one of the trolls present. In total, he had singlehandedly killed more than five hundred trolls and destroyed dozens of spatial portals.

However, as the blood thirst calmed down, so did the effect of his Berserker title. His strength gradually declined as he suddenly felt weak. His brain started to gather things as his consciousness became clear.

"What happened?" Ray thought to himself in shock. All he remembered was being consumed by rage and the thrust to fight. He remembered killing trolls left and right. He also remembered using his powers almost instantaneously without any breaks.

"That was the effect of your new title," Aurora said in her soothing voice. Her voice calmed him down as he started analyzing everything. Feeling too weak to move, he stayed standing with the support of the Void Spear.

"Such strength but the cost is terrifying. I shall keep its usage to the bare minimum," he thought to himself. Half scared and half happy with the new title.

"I need to gather my strength," He thought. Suddenly, his eyes popped open in fear as he sensed a terrifying presence approach.

"Aurora!" He called out.

"On it," Aurora replied, using mana sense; she sensed the surroundings as her expression changed.

"Ray, calm down. I will teleport you out of here. Just concentrate on healing yourself," Said Aurora with her voice slightly breaking. In Ray's consciousness, Aurora trembled as she knew that the presence heading towards Ray wasn't some usual one but an extremely strong one.

It was a top-ranked calamity-ranked expert. Most probably a troll that had mutated and evolved to a higher rank.

"Aurora, someone's approaching from the left," said Ray again.

Using mana sense, Aurora sensed the other side as she told Ray, "It's your teammates and a lot of students,"

"Fools," Ray sighed. After all, his friends didn't know that right now, they were walking right into death's face.

"Don't worry. It will take the horrible presence some time to reach the ground while your teammates will be here within a minute," said Aurora as she calmed down a bit and scanned the surroundings again.

"Good," Said Ray as he glanced to his left and saw a blackish streak leading hundreds of students to him.

"Stubborn wolf," He knew that the wolf had completed his task and might have sensed him here. Therefore, Sirius must have used his full strength to reach him as fast as possible.

"Swoosh..." The wind blew by as Sirius appeared in front of Ray. Looking at his appearance, Sirius smiled and spoke,

"Didn't know that you advocated such brutal methods,"

Listening to the wolf, Ray remained silent as after all, he was too weak to speak. Heck, even thinking was a strain for him.

"You seem to have killed quite a lot of them," said Sirius as he turned to look at the corpses lying on the ground. Then, turning to the right; Sirius spoke,

"I can also sense it. And I know that you must have sensed it too and neither of us is ready to fight it. Therefore, let's hurry and retreat,"

While Sirius chatted with Ray, the others also arrived. Elina, Noah, and a few others were the first to reach out as they examined Ray with concern on their faces. After all, Ray was the strongest of them and with him in such a condition, they were worried about themselves.

By now, five to six minutes had passed and the powerful existence seemed to be closing in on them. Also, Ray had regained enough energy to move around and speak.

"We have to get out of here," Said Ray as willed the Void Spear to dismember into Void Shards. Then, his body absorbed the shards as a small percentage of his strength was restored.

Feeling even better, he looked at Sirius and said, "We need to block this place before fleeing, or else it might follow us,"

"Yes, we need to capture it here," Sirius nodded and then turned to the others.

Stepping forward, he asked the students, "Whoever uses elemental magic related to traps and anyone with the ability to control metal or earth, please step forward,"

As he asked, some hesitated while others who had resolution shining in their eyes stepped forward.

Then, Sirius called them all and discussed the plan with them while also analyzing the whole place. Pointing at different spots, Sirius spoke,

"These are the points we need to focus on," Saying that, he along with various other students started putting up traps as only a few minutes were left until the powerful existence caught up with them.

While this happened, from a corridor behind Ray; a girl with blonde hair came running in. Her breathing was ragged and her whole uniform was drenched in blood.

Ray, who was sitting on the ground trying to recover as much as possible turned to look at her and smiled.

"Ray! Are you alright?" Nia approached him and asked.

"Yes, I am alright. Did you do it?" he asked.

To this, Nia nodded, and seeing her nod, Ray smiled. His plan was complete. Then, turning to Sirius; he called him over and spoke, "Don't worry. Let's head back there. No need for any more traps, I have a plan,"

"Okay," Having trust in Ray, Sirius turned and called everyone to gather as they all followed Ray, Sirius, and Nia to the corridor from which Nia came.
