Chapter 238 Blood

As she was trying to recover from her near-death experience, the people around her were in a similar battle for their lives. Elysia was facing five Aura Knights by herself and it was starting to overwhelm her.

Every single killer had a pair of daggers that moved at lightning speed. With all five of them attacking her, the aura shield around her was starting to breakdown. Leo saw this and sighed.

He moved a little toward her side while keeping an eye on everyone else. As this happened, a student finally drew first blood. As Leo expected, it was Marcus.

Since he had experience with it, he was okay with going for killing blows. Especially since the people he was fighting against weren\'t holding back either.

And even though he was a Middle-Stage 2nd Circle Aura Knight like the person he was going against, the aura technique he used was a lot more efficient and powerful.

It was a more destructive evolution of the lightning fist he used to use as a 1st Circle Aura Knight. With a punch to the chest, the enemy he was facing died instantly.

Marcus moved to his next opponent immediately while everyone else was struggling. He moved toward Lyra because he saw her struggling a lot.

Even though they were all fighting to win, they aimed to push back their opponents. So even though she won a few exchanges of blows, the enemies kept coming back.

Marcus was weaving his way through two attackers to get to where Lyra was. He was luring the two killers on his back to where Lyra was so that both of them could fight together.

Even though the enemies they would have to fight would multiply to 5 at a single time, it would be easier to face those many people with two people than three without any help.

As he got closer, he saw an opening when one of the killers stepped forward too much when they tried to stab him. He punched into the black-clad man\'s face, caving it in completely.

When he retracted his hand, he saw traces of blood on it. He turned away his face, ignoring what he did, and quickly defended against the incoming attack from the third killer who was facing him.

Now that he had brought it down to a one-on-one, it was a fairly simple fight for him. The killer tried to weave past him and take out Lyra first, but Marcus stopped him with a punch.

The force from the punch hit the killer even though he didn\'t get impacted by the fist. It made him falter, and as he regained his footing, Marcus caught up to him. His head was slammed down to the ground before he even got back up.

Marcus looked up in time to see the shield around Lyra shatter. She swung her sword around her in a graceful manner, pushing away the people around her. They tried to get close to her, but a swirling bright light around her would reach them just in time, forcing her to back off.

"You will not be able to do this for long. The only way to get out of the encirclement is to kill the people surrounding you," Marcus shouted as he bashed the spine of one of the killers from the back. They weren\'t able to react in time since they weren\'t prepared to handle another enemy.

With only two enemies left, Lyra now had a lot of space. She deflected another pair of attacks from the people surrounding her as she ran the thought through her mind.

The Head Master had told her that it was necessary, so it meant that she would be forced to kill someone eventually. It was inevitable. She saw the people surrounding her with their short daggers, all in the range of her attacks.

Her long sword suddenly flashed brightly and it swept through the necks of the killers who had gotten too close to her. Their heads flew up and landed on the ground without making much sound.

After she swung her sword, she retracted it and looked at what she had just done. Her eyes fell on the headless bodies that were motionless on the ground. A surge of nausea grew in her stomach and threatened to move up to her mouth.

She looked away immediately, unable to stomach the sight. Her protected self had never seen a dead person, so she was unable to process it. This, combined with it being her first kill made her incapable of fighting.

The sword in her hand disappeared back into her ring and she processed her action of taking someone\'s life. Marcus saw this and shook his head.

"In the real world, you have to kill and live with it while dealing with the next thing hurled your way. You can\'t let killing someone who wanted to kill you affect you. If you do, you won\'t be able to live in this world."

She looked at him and then saw the bodies behind him. The number of people he had killed was double what she did but he seemed completely unfazed compared to her.

"How do you do it, Marcus? How can you remain calm after killing those many people?" She asked him with a shaky voice.

"I don\'t fare as well as you think. You are asking the wrong person to give you advice on how to cope. Leo is a more appropriate person to answer that question." He looked at where Leo was standing.

At Leo\'s feet, a killer who tried to attack him was lying on the ground with his head severed. Leo seemed completely unbothered by the body at his foot as he looked around, making sure that everyone was okay. He met Lyra\'s gaze and smiled, causing a chill to go up her spine.

"How is he able to act like nothing happened?" She whispered to herself. Marcus heard her but didn\'t answer because he didn\'t know the answer to that question either.

There was a lot of mystery surrounding Leo that he had never tried to crack. He was very sure that Leo was connected to the fire that killed his previous owner, but those were questions he never tried to answer.

Meanwhile, Leo was observing what the other two people were doing. In the time that Marcus and Lyra took out the people on their side, Ria and Elysia were struggling.

As Ria was trying to cope with people who were prepared to die to kill her, Elysia was making sure that no one would hurt her friend. So her entire focus was on defending against the attacks that targeted both of them.

Eventually, as time passed, they were both facing 8 enemies together. One of them was almost burned to death by Ria\'s shield and Leo\'s strike seemed to have killed him.

However, even with one less opponent, and one less 3rd Circle killer to face, they were still having a huge problem with defending.

Both of them were very reluctant to kill people and Leo saw that it wasn\'t changing even though a lot of time had passed. He turned to the Head Master with an expression showcasing his helplessness.

"Help them figure it out. If I interfere, they will be under the impression that we will always be there for them. The best motivation for them would be from someone their age since it would give them a hint of what is possible," Alfred said to him from the distance.

Even though he was quite far away, Leo could see his amused expression and scowled. He turned away and walked to the two girls who were cornered at this point.

Maria was about to step forward and interfere since she was the closest, but the Head Master stopped her.

"Don\'t, Maria. Let Leo take care of it," Alfred said to her.

She looked in the distance where he was standing and then looked at Leo who was walking to the trapped duo.

As Leo was approaching without worrying about speed the killers who were about to destroy the barriers surrounding Ria and Elysia noticed him.

"Kill him," the 3rd Circle Aura Knight said to the 2nd Circle Aura Knight beside him. With the new orders, the 8th killer turned around and dashed toward Leo to attack him.

Before he could even get close enough, two tendrils emerged from Leo\'s hands and bound the killer. Leo kept walking forward as the tendrils started pulling the killer\'s body from each side.

As he drew closer to the group, the tendrils ripped apart the body into two, showcasing a gory sight that scared almost everyone who was looking. All the killers who saw this took a few steps back.

Ria and Elysia also saw this and their minds almost blacked out. The sight of a ripped-up body with blood dripping from each part scared them so much that they forgot how to move properly.

The tendrils dropped the bodies down and retracted back to Leo\'s hands as he kept walking forward. As he did, Ria and Elysia remembered what the Head Master said before when Leo was fighting Lucius.

"Keep in mind that what you see must not discourage any of you in any way. It is simply the way the world works. It is not fair and you will not be able to pick and choose your enemies."

They thought he was talking about Lucius, but he wasn\'t. The person in question was Leo. And they didn\'t want to face him as an enemy at all.
