*BOOOM*

An earth-shattering noise was heard all along the first floor, shocking all students who were present.

The sound produced nearly ruptured their eardrums.

It was as if a lightning bolt had struck only a few meters in front of them.

This was of course Arken, Who had given up all qualms to go quietly.

He was rushing towards the lower floors as fast as he could.

It didn't even take him a minute to reach the fourth floor, the scorching desert.

His very figure created sandstorms as he blitzed towards a random sand tornado and immediately entered it.

The tornado was very large, Yet with the sheer amount of speed and power Arken had entered it with...

...it had completely diminished when Arken had used it as an entry gate to the fifth floor.

As the white desolate land covered with snow entered his vision, he paid it no heed and activated his skill to the extreme as he searched for the gate to the next floor.

And he soon found it.

An extremely large sinkhole that had stairs carved in it leading downwards into what seemed like an endless dark abyss.

's.h.i.t! They've already made it this far!'

He cursed in his mind. He could see quite clearly in the abyssal darkness of the sinkhole because of his skill.

And he saw, thousands upon thousands... of Frost Walker Spiders making their way up.

Thousands upon thousands of rank monsters of the Ice Element making their way upwards.

...the mere thought of this was terrifying.

Thousands and thousands of monsters that could in all honestly, singlehandedly kill every student on the fifth floor and above quite easily.

...well all except for one student of course.

That one would probably fight until his death...and probably take down a few dozen with him if Arken was correct in his judgment.

But this was not the time to think about things like that.

Arken accessed the Spatial inventory he gained through expeditions in the cursed continent and materialized two Katanas in his hands.

The wave of power they emitted indicated that they were rank swords.

They possessed an electric spark dancing around them...however, this was not their ability.

It was Arkens own mana, which he had begun to stimulate as he spun during his descent into the endless darkness.

He resembled a tornado of thunder as his figure dashed downwards, and soon enough the entire walls of the abyssal hole he could see were filled with spiders possessing a menacing cyan exoskeleton the size of houses making their way up.

They noticed him and prepared their attacks to stop this hurricane.

And then a bright flash illuminated the darkness.

However, this light was not the Cyan or white colors unique to the ice element as one would have expected when thousands upon thousands of these monstrosities attacked.

This light was a bright Yellow, almost golden.

//Fourth Movement

||JUDGEMENT OF THUNDER||

A pillar of Thunder had formed inside the sinkhole, illuminating not only it but the entire fifth and sixth floor!

The pillar of thunder had completely covered the sinkhole and every being on the fifth floor could see a ma.s.sive pillar of Gold in the sky, turning the entire sky of the ma.s.sive floor above it yellow!

Every being, whether it be a monster or a student was left shocked by the sudden outburst of a very very large amount of mana!

*KRAAAAA!*

The sound produced was earth-shattering, as it reverberated throughout the fifth floor.

And as for the aftermath 'inside' of the sinkhole?

Everything was gone, not even corpses left to fall as they had been completely disintegrated.

A force enough to level cities...dead just like that.

'Did I get all of them?'

Arken wondered in his mind as he dug his blades into the walls of the sinkhole to steady himself.

He was about to use his skill to confirm...when he suddenly jerked his head downwards as his eyes glowed bright gold.

And without even a second of hesitation, He jumped down.

He had to face even more monsters than just these.

...and worst of all, his specialty was one on one, not one vs many.

He was confident he would be able to eliminate the 'Horde.'

However, he was not confident enough that he would not let even a single monster bypa.s.s him.

And thus, he activated another power this time.

The power of the Self, Aura, as he descended to face the hundreds of thousands of monsters, some weaker, but most stronger than the little spiders he had just eradicated.

"Huh?!"

"What in the world?!"

Elijah and Elaine muttered respectively as they just saw a pillar of gold light in the distance, illuminating the entire floor.

Everyone was shocked to the core...and then it came.

*KRAAAAA!*

A sound that left their ears ringing, accompanied by a shockwave that made all of them fly away and extinguished the fire they were all huddled near against.

Elijah and Alex were able to balance themselves and land on their feet, The others were not so lucky.

Most of them had landed on their backs as the shock wave had been so strong that it made their tents, which were made out of an extremely durable material... shake.

These tents were strong enough to survive the worst s.h.i.t nature could put them through with no trouble.

And as they struggled to get up on their feet, They heard a voice that was calm yet clearly resounded in their ears even though they were ringing.

A voice that brought with it a sense of dread, yet also a peaceful feeling of protection.

"Everyone, pack your bags, we're going back."

As I cleaned my blood-stained spear until it was spotless, I turned around to see the part of the suit that had been melted by my actions.

I sighed inwardly and opened my bag to take out a brown plastic bag.

It was one of the bags that contained our food.

I opened it up and took out a brown pill.

A nutrient pill, with enough nutrients to support a full-grown male for an entire day.

Well, I was different. I needed much more food than just a single pill.

And so, I gobbled about five of them up before I was somewhat satisfied.

I was about to eat another one but was disturbed by an earth-shattering noise accompanied by my tent shaking.

*KRAAAAA!*

But that wasn't what shocked me, it was the ma.s.sive amount of mana that I had just felt.

And I knew who this man belonged.

Although humans would not be able to recognize the mana of other individuals, even if they had been with them for their entire lifetimes, I wasn't human.

This mana...belonged to Arken.

And it was such a large amount that I felt my body open its pores as if in instinct and absorb this mana.

I was surprised at this, for it hadn't occurred at all before, but that was the least of my concerns.

That sound, accompanied by the sudden outburst of a huge amount of mana could only mean one thing.

Something was coming.

And whatever it was, I was much better off running away from it.

Because if Arken had just done that, it was probably something serious that I possibly couldn't handle.

I exited my tent and voiced out while trying to be as calm as possible.

"Everyone, pack your bags, were going back."
