Boom~
One after another earth-shattering sound reverberated throughout the area.
Carlos is fiercely fighting against the Giant Tower Headmaster. At the same time, he hoped that reinforcements would come in time.
He knows that the supreme elder is on their side. As long as he gets a message from Jonathan it's enough.
On the other hand, the Giant Tower Headmaster bombarded him with boulders.
Both of them are fighting by using the related elements. So no one could dominate one another.
"Carlos, no one could save you today," The Giant Tower Headmaster sneered inside. He is not afraid of the Saw Scaled Viper Academy.
Their Supreme elder has long since joined their side. Even if anyone comes, the only one who will suffer is Carlos Kent.
Boom~
The land underneath them has changed. The open land space was not flat anymore. There are several deep pits in it.
If their battle continues then it would soon attract the warriors from the Viper City.
Time went by,
Carlos is getting desperate as he gets no response from Zack. If this goes on, he will be defeated.
A quick gleam flashes in his eyes. The Giant Tower Headmaster is using body techniques most of the time. Hereby saving his essence for a crucial moment.
Beep~
When he is getting low. A sudden message woke him awake.
Seeing that he attacked by using a wave of sand. A huge density of sand once again blocked the path of the headmaster.
"Damn it," The Headmaster cursed out loud.
On the other hand, Carlos began to read the message. His expression turned grave. Then he understands his situation.
Jonathan asked him to escape. The Viper City and academy are not safe anymore.
Boom~
He donated one of his artifacts before creating a chance for himself to escape.
The explosion caused the Giant Tower Headmaster to frown. He retreated backward in the air.
The next moment, he noticed someone was fleeing at breakneck speed. The person is none other than Carlos Kent.
"You b@stard," He said in an out loud voice. He thought Carlos Kent would fight him till the end.
But he chose to flee. A strange glint flashes in his eyes. He remembers Carlos checking his watch before escaping.
"Is it the Supreme elder?" He muttered to himself.
"It must be," He said in his heart. Because there is no reason for Carlos to be afraid. He is an SSS-Rank Warrior.
Only the words of the Supreme Elder can make him flee. A gleeful smile appeared on his face.
Then he recalled one more hurdle.
"That lightning brat is still alive. I should do something to lure him out," He said in his heart.
It's a pity that he wasn't able to subdue Carlos. He knows it will disappoint the person behind his back. But it can't be helped.
Then he looked in the direction of Carlos before leaving.
Meanwhile,
Somewhere close to the barrier of the outer post. Jonathan is doing an inspection. He came to investigate the power of the barrier.
Which separates the outer post from other regions. After his talk with Carlos Kent, he submitted the report to his master.
According to him, someone is planning to weaken the barrier. It's impossible to do it from outside. As many eyes are watching the barrier.
But if someone enters inside the outer post. The matter is something different. His master then ordered him to capture that person.
After arriving here, Jonathan didn't go to the Giant Tower Academy. Since he knows those who are connected to this event.
Jonathan decided to capture them after checking the barrier. As far as possible, there is no anomaly found in the barrier.
Which made him more puzzled. The barrier appeared to be intact without any traps or loopholes.
Then what is the mysterious up to? He remembers the scene of the forbidden potion. Where the Supreme Elder of the Saw Scaled Viper Academy was eager to get it.
"Is it related to the forbidden potion?" Jonathan asked himself. His instinct tells him right. But his master said there is a lack of evidence to prove it.
After gaining some clarity, Jonathan decided to leave. Since the matter has come to do this. There will be no safety for Zack in that academy.
Carlos Kent has defected as per his words. Even if he stays in that academy, the supreme elder would do something against him.
That place is not safe for him. Before the Supreme Elder makes a move against Zack. He wants to save Zack.
...
From MC's perspective:
10:30 A.M
The time was over 10 in the morning. But still, there is no sign of Dean Rebecca.
"I think she took a day off," Ernest said. He came to Zack right after having breakfast.
But he didn't know what made Zack worry so much.
"Are you thinking about Laverne?"
"She is fine with her family. They have settled in a town right now. There is no more danger," Ernest said.
Hearing that I shook my head before saying, "It's a different issue."
"Ernest, if you want to practice. You can go right now," I added.
Hearing that Ernest frowned. He can see that Zack is not in a great mood right now.
"Alright, I'll come by evening," After saying that Ernest left.
On the other hand, the bad feelings in my heart have gotten worse. I started to feel the Academy was not safe anymore.
Even the dean herself is not safe against the Supreme Elder. How can she protect me?
A few minutes later,
Beep~
My communication watch lit up with a notification.
"Carlos has sent me a message," I muttered to myself.
When I read the message. I felt a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulder. My whole body got relaxed.
Phew~
The next moment, I heaved a sigh of relief.
Carlos Kent is safe. I don't know what happened. He seems to be fine right now.
Who could pose a threat to him? After gaining some clarity, I decided to leave.
Since there was no problem with Carlos. There is no point in staying here. I have decided to enter the monster zone.
In that way, I can forget what's happening in the outside world.
Meanwhile,
The Supreme Elder who is sleeping in his mansion got awakened by a call. The call was from the Giant Tower Headmaster.
The old man frowned. He doesn't know why this person is calling at his time. He then attended the call and started to speak.
At first, his expression was normal. His old eyes were calm without any waves. But as the second passes, he receives thundering news from the Giant Tower Headmaster.
"Carlos escaped," The old man's face was ugly. The old man knew that Carlos had a breakthrough because of the Giant Tower Academy's help.
Earlier, he had thought about making him dean after Rebecca. But he didn't expect the events to turn out like this.
"Why did he do this?" The old man's eyes turned cold. Carlos knows many secrets. If Carlos spills beans to another academy.
Then it will be over for him as well as the academy.
The Giant Tower Headmaster was still on the call.
"What to do now?" the old man asked.
"Don't expose him. Otherwise, he would be forced to reveal our secrets as well. I'll ask that person to handle him. If that person moves, then Carlos' life will be over," The Giant Tower Headmaster said.
"Okay," The old man was helpless. Both of them have chips on each other's shoulders. More than Carlos, the secret will hurt the 2 sides more.
"And one more thing. I want that lightning kid dead as well. If he enters the inner post, then we would be able to do nothing," The Giant Tower Headmaster said.
"This?" The old man showed hesitation. He doesn't want to offend Lowell and the mysterious person behind the Giant Tower Headmaster.
Both of them are dangerous people. To avoid further conversation. He decided to agree. After speaking for a few more minutes,?the old man ended the call.
His expression was ugly. Because of his self-interest, he made a huge error in judgment. But it can't be helped.
He won't directly move against that kid. He can only ask Franklin and others to do something.
Then he thought of something before quickly summoning Franklin.
10 minutes later,
Franklin arrived at his place. Franklin's expression was bright as usual. Every time the Supreme Elder asked him to come.
It's related to important work.
The Supreme Elder opened his eyes. He then started to inquire about details. Especially about Zack Lockwood.
Franklin smiled before saying, "Elder, that kid was clever. He made a condition for the duel."
The old man then asked about the condition. A deep frown appeared on his face. It's not easy to find treasures related to lightning. The whole region might not have one.
Then he decided to ask the Giant Tower Headmaster. That person might know something.
Then he spoke with Franklin for a few more minutes.
