Chapter 101: The Terror of Abyssal Warden
Abyssal Warden stood before us, a towering figure of darkness and malice. His ethereal form shifted like a living shadow, and his piercing blue eyes glowed with an eerie light. He radiated an overwhelming sense of dread, making even the most courageous among us hesitate.
The battlefield was already littered with fallen students—many from Class A and B had succumbed to the relentless mental assault of the Warden. Their minds were shattered, their bodies trembling, and their spirits completely broken. Some lay unconscious, their faces contorted in horror, while others screamed in agony, trapped in the endless torment of their worst nightmares.
The professors quickly intervened, gathering the wounded and preparing to transport them to the Holy Church of the Central Kingdom, where the Saint could heal even the most severe mental afflictions.
I took a deep breath, pushing down the rising fury inside me. I turned to the professors.
"Take them and go. Save as many as you can."
They nodded and hurriedly carried the fallen away.
Julius and Termina, both class leaders of the affected students, clenched their fists in anger. Their eyes burned with determination. This was personal for them now.
Marius, our tank, took the lead. He slammed his shield into the ground, activating [Iron Will], boosting his mental resistance, and then let out a deafening [Warcry], forcing Abyssal Warden’s attention onto him. His presence became an unshakable wall, a beacon of resilience amidst the chaos.
The Warden paused, then lunged at Marius with terrifying speed.
Marius activated [Unyielding Fortress], a skill that temporarily converted damage received into HP for 8 seconds. He stood his ground, absorbing the dark assault while the rest of us prepared for a counterattack.
I, Julius, Luna, Leopold, Termina, along with the teams that followed us trying to attack this monster. But the Abyssal Warden was too fast.
