Ye Jiu patted the dust off his clothes. "Let's see how to break this magic shield first. This beast entering its breeding season early is probably his doing too. I don't know how to deal with this. But it's incredible. We've already signed a treaty of peaceful coexistence, and these demons are still making such a big move behind the scenes. If sacrifices were to be made, I don't know how many people would have already suffered."
Lorian recalled the books he had read and vaguely remembered that all magic circles could be broken with the blood of the one who drew them.
He plucked a few leaves and used them as leaf knives to stab Asmodius's wrist artery, and pink blood dripped onto the ground.
A short while later, a burst of black light appeared and then dissipated.
Ye Jiu immediately tried using communication magic and found that it worked!
She went over and gave Lorient a high five. "Great job, it's solved!"
As the black light dissipated, the fog in the forest began to thin and gradually dissipate, and the sun shone into the forest, opening up a wider field of vision.
After contacting Runna and confirming their location, Lorian and Ye Jiu immediately dragged Asmodis along to meet them.
Poor Asmodeus was mercilessly rubbed against the ground while unconscious.
...
Using her familiarity with the forest, Luna stumbled and found dozens of students. She was just glad that she found the children before they encountered any danger. During this time, she also met up with the other four teachers who were leading the group.
Although they were ambushed by strange beasts, the large number of people and the presence of five teachers made it relatively easy for them to cope.
The unusual combat power of the beasts naturally alerted everyone to the anomaly, but with the fog thick and communication magic unusable, they were forced into a passive defensive posture, groping their way through the forest.
Runa only saw a beam of black light shooting into the sky, and then the surrounding mist began to dissipate rapidly.
The students' eyes widened. "Teacher, what was that just now?!"
"The magic circle has been broken. Has someone placed another magic circle here?"
A quick-thinking idea struck him, and he immediately began testing the communication magic. After successfully casting it, he exclaimed, "Teacher! The communication magic works!"
Then dozens of communication light clusters appeared around each teacher, waiting for them to activate them.
"Quickly, you guys contact the students who didn't meet up with us. I need to know everyone's situation as soon as possible," Luna instructed the other students while listening to what was being said in the light group.
These communications contained mostly bad news. The sudden surge in the combat power of the alien beasts was too much for most students to handle, and even small groups of students had a hard time dealing with them. Fortunately, no one had died as a result—at least Runa had not received any news of deaths yet.
Then, what stood out among these distress communications was the one sent by Ye Jiu.
She said that she and Lorian had caught the culprit who had turned the forest into this state, and that the demon was a subordinate of the sealed Morthos.
Lu Enna was completely bewildered after hearing this, so... while the other students were still struggling to survive in the hands of the alien beasts, Ye Jiu had already stormed the enemy's lair?
And she sounded relaxed, without a trace of post-battle fatigue.
Unconvinced, Luna listened to the message again, and after confirming that she hadn't misheard, she became even more confused.
When did Celt Magic Academy produce such a genius, and why didn't they reveal any information about it? Before this, she knew Ye Jiu could use high-level magic, knew she had high affinity for all elements, and knew she was talented at making potions, but she never knew her talent was to this extent!
After a long silence from Lu Enna, Ye Jiu's communication came through again: "Teacher Lu Enna, where are you? We're coming to find you now."
Lu Enna snapped out of her daze and told Ye Jiu where they were.
She still couldn't believe what Ye Jiu said, and even began to wonder if they hadn't encountered any strange beasts.
In any case, we'll know the whole story once we meet Ye Jiu.
Just as she was thinking this, Lu Enna saw two figures appear not far away, namely Ye Jiu and Luo Rui'an.
"Teacher!" Ye Jiu waved to her.
As the two approached, Luna noticed something they were dragging behind them. "What are you carrying?"
Ye Jiu dropped the things she was dragging, "Oh, so that's the culprit."
Asmodius's black robes were already tattered from being dragged around. His eyes were closed, and he had multiple scratches on his body and bruises on his face from Ye Jiu's blows. Compared to him, Ye Jiu, who was laughing heartlessly, seemed more like a bully.
Lorian, who was holding Asmodeus's scythe, threw it to the ground as well, saying, "His weapon."
"Teacher, do you know him? He said he was a demon who plotted all this for the resurrection of their king, Morthus."
The students surrounded Asmodius, curiously examining the demon on the ground.
After hearing what Ye Jiu said, Lu Enna's expression changed drastically. She dispersed the students who were watching the commotion and pulled Ye Jiu and Luo Rui'an away from the crowd. "Good children, it sounds like you already know a lot of incredible news. But believe me, it's best not to be too curious about some things."
"No matter how you found out about this, keep it a secret. You can't tell anyone except the teachers, okay?"
Runa's evasive attitude is very similar to Clotita's, so is this a consensus among the seven magic academies? No, it's possible that the demon magic academy knows about this, but that would be even stranger.
"Teacher, is it true that only six magic academies are participating in this exchange program?" Ye Jiu asked tentatively.
Luna nodded slowly. "Yes, I won't answer anything else."
Ye Jiu shrugged. "But, teacher, I think I already know the whole story."
