As Ray and the rest lead the students inside the corridor, a myriad of thoughts went through everyone's mind.

"What is happening?"

"Where are we going?

"Why are we running?"

The students thought, not knowing what was happening. They were just confused. However, no one dared to reject or oppose those at the front as they knew that even if they had enough strength, they weren't capable of leading as those at the front were. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

Therefore, everyone just regarded to follow and see later what would happen. While running, Sirius caught up to Ray and used telepathic inference to ask,

"Why are we running without fully focusing on our defenses?" He asked in confusion.

"Well, before coming here. I met Nia and her team and we decided that Nia, along with her team search for a place where everyone could take shelter. As she had an idea of the location of such a place, she took the responsibility to clear the way to the shelter as well," Answered Ray.

"Okay then," Sirius nodded.

As they ran into the corridor, the ground shook. Shockwaves spread through the whole place as they felt the impact of a fifth-scale earthquake.

"Sirius!! It's here. Activate them," Shouted Ray at the top of his lungs.

"Okay," Knowing what he had to do, Sirius jumped. Turning around, he looked back at the incoming figure and was stunned for a moment as he saw a literal calamity waking ahead.

"F*ck," He cursed as he signaled the students. Every student who had participated in making the traps to stall the giant nodded. They crossed their hands and activated their spells.

"Swoooshh," The magic particles converged in a single place. The wind blew up as the magic gather around the body of the giant.

"Bang!!" An explosion took place. Bolts of lightning arced in the air as they produced a lightning net. Just behind the lightning net were various roots, vines, saps and stems as they were all extended and interwoven into one another.

The plant elemental energies converged as a small mist was produced. The mist was a paralyzing plant elemental spell and mixed within it was another spell that induced sleep into the enemy.

However, that was not it. After all, the magic traps were from dozens of sorcerers, ability users, and some spirit magic users as well. Therefore, much was yet to come.

The land softened. Small waves spread through the earth as the monster started to sink into the land slowly. Then, the surrounding land was raised as small pillars appeared. They converged around the monster and blocked its path forward while also closing in continuously to try and trap the monster.

Then, from within the pillars extended more pillars and they completely trapped the monster. Now, they were earth walls as from within them small holes opened up. From the holes, small tips appeared as countless spears were launched at the monster.

Now, it was time for the last attack. Turning to those in front; Sirius nodded.

"On it," Said everyone at the front as stopped for a moment and concentrated their wills.

Elina's magic combined with Noah's as dark arrays rose in the air. With Noah creating the array formations, Elina fused them with her curse energy. Not only the arrays strengthened the earth walls but also induced various top-quality curses at the monster.

On the other hand, shadows separated from behind Sirius as a dozen shadow wolves appeared. Howling in the sky, the shadow wolves turned into a streak as they attacked the monster.

Such things also happened as the stronger students used various ways to attack the monster. After the attacks, everyone could feel the shockwaves spreading through the earth reduce as they sighed in relief and started running.

After every single one of the students left the open area, Ray turned around and stopped. It was now time for his job. While waiting for his strength to recover, Ray didn't stay idle. Countless plans formed in his head as he thought of various ways to further stall the monster.

Also, knowing that the monster wouldn't be stopped even after being attacked by so many attacks, Rat decided to do the best thing he could; Block the passage.

After all, who cared for the academy's buildings and infrastructure? Lives mattered and right now, Ray knew what to do.

He raised his hand, using the energy he had recovered; he half-transformed into his bloodline form. The scales appeared on his body but shimmered with less intensity while his eyes turned into slits. The bloodline weapons didn't appear as his body turned stronger and much sturdier.

Then, looking at the opening leading to the internal corridors, Ray raised his hand. His left eye turned a greyish color while the power of time shone in his right eye.

Various needles appeared and converged around his right hand as the power of time flowing through it. On the other hand, his left hand had small dilations appearing all over it as the space around it trembled.

Just while standing, a magnificent presence was exuded by him. The surrounding space trembled as behind Ray, a faint phantom formed. Two dark eyes opened as a supernova flowed within them.

The eyes belonged to Mag'ladroth as Ray had asked for the Void Dragon's help. Although it put further strain on his body and he wouldn't be able to fight for half a day after this, Ray didn't care.

His friends were now here, he had support. Therefore, doing his best, he looked at the slight cracks appearing on the earth walls that trapped the monster.

Then, looking up. Sirius raised his hand as the small dilations spread through the space. Cracks appeared as he targeted the corridor openings.

Other than that, he used his left eye and sensed the spatial nodes through which he could destroy the openings the easiest.

"Got it!" He muttered and then clenched his hand into a fist. The spatial dilations touched the node as the moment he clenched his hand, the space trembled as the node collapsed.

Right after, small vibrations spread through the opening as cracks appeared on the roof. Knowing that it wasn't enough, he turned around and saw Sirius waiting for him.

He nodded with a smile as Sirius transformed into a werewolf and punched at the opening.

"Boom" The opening collapsed. A cloud of dust roses Ray then turned to another opening and started crushing the rest of the spatial nodes.

One by one, the openings collapsed as by now, only the above Ray remained. Turning back to the trapped monster, he saw the walls crack even more. The walls were about to break, there wasn't much time to waste.

Ray hurried and raised his hand as he crushed the spatial node. Right as he did,

"Booomm!" The earth walls broke as the monster stomped its feet on the ground.

Due to the shockwaves, the opening collapsed. Seeing this, Ray's eyes opened wide. He wasn't inside yet. Turning to Sirius, he saw the wolf motioning him to hurry as Ray realized the situation he was in.

He calmed himself for a moment and thought. Then, looking down at his right hand, he clenched his jaw and steeled his resolve.

Right as the rubble was about to block the opening, Ray shouted at the top of his lungs,

"Stopp!!" Serenity spread. The time slowed down as Ray felt his brain buzz. His right hand was raised as the spatial power influenced the surroundings and stopped the time around the opening.

Knowing that the monster was coming and he didn't have much time or energy, he ran. However, as he tried to; he realized that he was too weak to run.

Then, walking as fast as he could; Ray sucked every bit of his strength dry as he cast the last spell he could.

"Arghhhh!! Blink!" He screamed in agony as his mana core throbbed. Feeling the energy drain from his body, his vision blurred. A constant ringing tore through his ear as blood seeped out of his orifices.

However, his pain didn't go in vain as right after he shouted, the space distorted as the blink opened and Ray appeared besides Sirius.

After that, he fainted from the lack of mana as his influence on the surroundings vanished. The opening collapsed and right before it did, Sirius saw the monster roaring in the sky.

"What just happened?" Sirius questioned himself. He didn't know what happens and how Ray appeared besides him all of a sudden. He just felt that everything slowed down for a second but also felt that everything happened so fast that he couldn't recollect any information.

"Now is not the time," He told himself as he picked Ray up and started running through the dark corridor.
