SSS-Rank Poop Shoveler Spirit-Chapter 113: "A Demonic Rift"

An invisible ripple appeared in the air and simultaneously, the black tide also rushed into the invisible ripple.

Bang!

The two forces collided and the barrier shook, almost shattering before it could even fully envelope the whole area.

Some insects in the black tide perished on the spot but compared to the number of those still alive, it was just a drop in the ocean.

Bzzzztttt!!

The black tide rammed themselves into the barrier and instinctively flew towards the area not yet covered by the barrier.

In Castra's eyes, the black tide seemed to "chase" after the barrier that was quickly enveloping everyone, including him and Mario's family members.

Some insects inevitably flew faster, seeping inside before the barrier could form.

The moment some insects breached the barrier, the instructors in those areas immediately launched a collective attack!

"All students! Gather in groups of five! Don't scatter! Don't scatter!"

"Protect yourselves!"

The students had never seen such an ordeal before and many almost broke down on the spot.

But no matter what, they were elite youngsters who had gone through a gruesome entrance exam, so they quickly calmed down and began to defend themselves in groups of five.

Ray and the elf prince, who was the closest to Mario and Castra, immediately joined their group, their spirits already looking at the surging black tide with wary eyes.

It was only now did the elf prince notice Castra, but he didn't have time to greet the spirit before his elf ancestor spirit started to shoot bullets out of the gun.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The spirit bullets immediately shot out of the barrel, striking the black tide one after another.

This time, the bullets even exploded in the air, quickly dealing an AOE damage to the surrounding insects.

Seeing this, Ray looked at his natal spirit and his face darkened.

"You! Use the Cherry Blossom Rain skill!"

Ray had never been so rough and rude to his own natal spirit but the one inside his natal spirit wasn't the same spirit anymore.

He didn't care about being polite.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, boss!"

The pitiful transmigrator also didn't dare to oppose Ray and immediately used the skill.

DING! [Cherry Blossom Rain skill is activated!]

In an instant, countless pink petals appeared out of thin air and they started to shoot out towards the insects, covering the black tide like a pink rain.

These insects were mostly D-rank or even weaker, so just one petal could kill more than one insect.

Still, no matter how many times the group pushed back the black tide, they kept rolling in, as if endless!

The elf ancestor's face started to turn pale as he glanced at the barrier that had started to cover their area as well.

"Quick! Quick! This barrier is really slow!!"

Due to their position at the corner of the whole group, the mages prioritized protecting those nearer first, instantly cutting the barrier into several parts.

Even if they wanted to run into those protected areas, once the barrier was completed, no one would be allowed in, no matter what.

Thus, Castra and the others were the last to receive the barrier and naturally, the remaining insects and devilish fairies targeted them.

Mario's people were so frightened that they wished they could turn back time, never to step foot into this hellish place.

"Any spirit with a barrier skill? Quick! Make a temporary barrier!"

"Healer! Healer! We need a healer!"

"Damn it. When will the barrier cover our place??"

The group defended themselves and lost one or two more youngsters before the barrier from the mages covered their area as well.

By then, the number of those insects and fairies had dwindled rapidly, especially the fairies, whose number had always been small compared to the insects.

Perhaps, sensing the barrier that protected the prey and preventing them from touching the prey, the black tide finally dispersed, going to other places to hunt.

But the mages and the instructors didn't dare to be careless.

They quickly gathered the scattered students, assigned one instructor for a group of ten and then started to march deeper into the forest.

When Mario and Castra saw the group's direction, they almost screamed,

"Why are we heading deeper into the forest?? Shouldn't we hurry to leave this place?"

Castra voiced his worry and Mario, who had long given up on his mission to cleanse his spirit's bloodline, also looked grim.

Coincidentally, one of the mages putting the barrier had come to Mario's group and the woman immediately shook her head.

"We can't leave. The edges are all covered with a dizzying mist full of hidden dangers."

Castra noticed the mage and couldn't help but ask,

"Then why don't we just camp here and wait for rescue or something?"

"Those things might stubbornly linger around if we stay here and this place with dense trees and bushes isn't ideal for a camp."

Not to mention, the instructors had to uncover what was going on with the Elven Forest since this could be a major disaster for the entire continent.

The students were just unlucky to stumble into this situation but as long as they didn't court death, no one would die, unlike the people in Mario's group who didn't have the instructors' complete protection.

Castra could only grumble as they continued to walk, passing by the dense forest and slowly advancing towards a more open area with sparse trees or bushes.

With so many instructors around, the dangers along the way were quickly dealt with and Castra finally caught a glimpse of hope.

Unfortunately, before that hope could grow bigger, an instructor got some news from other sources outside and his face instantly turned pale.

Poo, who could eavesdrop without anyone noticing, naturally heard the news and immediately shrieked, 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

[Ah! Host!! Bad news!!]

Castra almost threw the poop.

[You're still here?? I thought you were dead!]

After all, Poo didn't make any contributions ever since they entered the Elven Forest.

Even Castra already forgot about the trial mission whatsoever...

But Poo's urgent tone made a certain poop Shoveler curious.

[What's going on? What happened?]

Poo took a deep breath and spoke solemnly,

[A rift connected to the demon realm has opened.]
