From MC's perspective:
Monster Zone,
Fighting against Class-7 Monster is similar to fighting against SS-Elite Warrior. Victory can't be guaranteed. But I can escape with my life.
But here the Class-7 Monster is a bit more tyrannical than SS-Elite Warriors. After running for a while, I found the purple essence was decreasing rapidly.
If I waste any more time, the trip here would be wasted. Suddenly, I stopped using the lightning phantom technique and turned toward the Class-7 Monster.
On the other hand, the monster is few towards me. Looking at its reaction, I knew it couldn't wait to crush me to death.
Swish!
The next second, I started charging towards the monster. At the same time, I ran the blood element method.
Blood energies from the bones started to appear. Feeling that I concentrated all that energy on my fist.
Powerful energy reached my forearm and gathered around my right fist. By that time, I was one step away from the monster's body.
Any wrong move can cause this monster to crush my body. So I observed the monster's movements using perception.
Seeing that there was no big movement. I raised my fist to punch.
When the fist comes in contact with the yellow wet skin. The invisible blood energy scorches the yellow color.
Boom!
The next second, an explosion occurs. A small crack appeared in the monster's skin. Except that the monster remains unscathed.
Seeing that a hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes.
"Is it a peak stage one?" I asked myself.
Then I saw a massive shadow before me.
"Lightning Phantom Technique," I released the movement technique.
The purple lightning covered my legs. I exploded with great speed to escape from the spot.
Boom!
The next second, a huge tremor occurs as the monster's body collides with the ground. Using this opportunity, I used the lightning movement to walk away from the place.
On the way, my expression worsens. I thought I could fight against it. But against a peak, one is still a no-go. I shook my head in disappointment before rushing towards the same old spot.
Half an hour later,
I successfully got rid of the monster's tail. I didn't feel the tremor signs anymore. After finding someplace to sit down, I checked my dantian.
The purple essence has become lower. Maybe I can fight against one or two Class-6 monsters, that's all.
...
Eclipse Academy:
Dean Edgar was sitting in his office with a dejected expression. It's been more than a day. But still, there is no sign of the Supreme Elder and the lord from the inner post.
Both of them have disappeared into thin air. Yesterday, he thought there must be some important mission. So he had kept quiet.
Based on his recent talks with the Supreme Elder Cameron. Both of them have gone to deal with some stuff related to the Viper Academy. He knew the Supreme Elder was extremely dissatisfied with the Viper Academy.
If something happened in that Viper Academy, he should have received some news by now. But nothing that sort of has happened. According to the spies, the Viper Academy seems to be operating smoothly.
There is no problem whatsoever. More than that the Viper Academy is in a better mood because of their result against the Red Moon Tower in the student exchange meet.
He furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure thinking about it.
"I should ask the Viper Academy dean directly," He muttered to himself.
The next second, he made a call to the dean Rebecca.
On the other hand, Dean Rebecca was perplexed. Then she recalled her conversation with Zack.
A quick gleam flashes in her eyes before she attends the call.
Dean Edgar casually inquired about the Supreme Elder Cameron. But Dean Rebecca replied by saying Viper Academy didn't receive any guests yesterday.
Dean Edgar's complexion changes. So he quickly ended the call right after that.
"No, I feel something wrong," Edgar said in his heart.
He heard the relaxed voice of Dean Rebecca. Which tells there was no problem in the Viper Academy. But he feels uneasy. There is no other way to check whether the Supreme Elder is alive or not.
Then he convinced himself by recalling the presence of the lord from the inner post. There is no opponent for that lord in this region.
In the end, he calmed down his heart by saying that. But he didn't know the lord himself was suffering.

Eclipse Academy (Inner Post)
Bryson Koch is admitted inside the white color building. The people who are roaming inside the building are wearing the white color dress.
But each of their fluctuations is no less than that of Bryson Koch.
Bryson, who is lying in his bed, is in critical condition right now. If anyone looks at his inner organs right now, they can see his inner organs are wrapped up with black color threads.
The black color thread keeps getting multiplied as time passes. The thread won't disappear until the inner organs lose their vitality completely.
His outer appearance was ugly. As if though someone is mummified. He was able to keep his vitality because of his strength.
After coming back to the inner post, he was able to be admitted to this healing palace in time.
Cough!
A black blood drop spilled from his mouth.
At this time, Bryson who is experiencing excruciating pain is hearing footsteps in the room.
Creak!
The door opened.
Several healers wearing white dresses walked into the room. Amongst them, there are 3 old men with decades of experience.
Looking at the mummified state of Bryson.
One of the old men asked, "Have you identified the source behind those black threads?"
The old man right next to him nodded his head by saying, "I have searched the latest journals regarding forbidden poison."
Hearing that the other 2 expressions turned solemn.
The old man added further by saying, "It's likely the result of Forbidden poison named Colorless Threads."
"But the name might be deceiving. Because the poison has no color. Only after getting into the human system. The black threads start to appear."
Gasp!
Hearing that everyone in the room sucked a cold breath of air.
"So evil," The old man uttered in a cold tone.
"But I can tell whoever it is that person didn't want Bryson to die. Although it's a forbidden poison, it is an extremely tortuous method. And it takes time to kill the target," The old man on the left side commented.
Hearing that the other 2 nodded their heads.
But Bryson Koch was even more aggrieved in his heart. He heard the whole conversation. Now he realized that person from the Viper Academy wanted to teach him a lesson.
Sigh!
The old man in the middle let out a sigh before saying, "It's not easy to treat this poison. We have to burn a lot of resources to make a cure."
"What's that person saying?" He asked.
The old man on the left shook his head before saying, "He was pissed off. He is threatening me to save his young elder."
"We can't offend the Eclipse Academy. Otherwise, we have to forget about a few resource channels," Elder on the right side added.
"Alright, we should save him now," The old man in the middle said.
Then he walked up to Bryson and placed his old hands on his chest. The next second, milky energies started to enter Bryson's body.
Bryson felt warmth all of a sudden. The white milky energy then comes in contact with those black threads.
The next second, something happens. The black thread began to weaken to some extent. The dark color got dimmed. Even the threads surrounding it get loosened.
It was just one part of the organs. But numerous threads are wrapping around single organs.
As the time passed, the threads loosened one by one. The old man was extremely focused. Small swear beads already started appearing on his forehead.
The other 2 old men remained silent. But they can see the data on the big monitor screen. Everyone in the room can see that Bryson Koch is slowly getting back his vitality.
Half an hour later,
The old man finished his part. The old man on the right side takes his turn to heal. It will take 3 of them to fully weaken those black threads.
"The current treatment will stabilize him for the next 2 days. We should come up with a cure in the meantime."
"Otherwise, irreversible damage would occur to his foundation," The old man in the middle added.
"Don't worry, brother. My students are working on a list of healing herbs. They will come up with the list soon," The old healer on the left side said.
On the other hand, Bryson Koch let go of his worry. It was not a dead end as he imagined. Right now, he can see some light ahead. After getting cured, he will take a few month's leave.
He doesn't want to take on a similar task again. Who knows the next time? He won't be this lucky.
A half an hour later,
The old man on the left side stepped forward to take his turn.
