"Looks like I scared you guys," Liam said calmly as he wiped off the blood with one of the men\'s shirts before they returned to the hallway. Olivia and a few other female students looked back into the room but they didn\'t linger around the young woman who had nearly been raped for long.
They had helped her move aside the lifeless body of the rapist before rushing behind Liam to make sure that they wouldn\'t lose him.
"But that was nothing. You guys will face much worse situations very soon. Prepare yourself for the worst!" Liam lectured, not caring that nobody showed a sign of having understood his words.
The ducklings behind him were still shaken about what they had witnessed mere moments ago. They didn\'t know whether it was more shocking that they had seen someone familiar attempting to rape a helpless girl, or that Liam could act nonchalantly after killing five humans in a breeze.
However, Liam didn\'t really care about who he had to kill anymore. He didn\'t even know how many humans, demons, and devils he had killed in his entire life. It had been way too many to count.
Rather than bothering about something that didn\'t matter either way, Liam was more focused on the increase in his Will stat and the changes it brought to his body.
\'It is a little bit easier to think straight and control my entire body with much more precision. Even the Arcane Power in my body is easier to control, though it\'s only a little…not bad!\'
They didn\'t possess the Arcane System in the Nine Realms since it was a creation that had been implemented solely for the Arcane Apocalypse and Haltan\'s reawakening after it had been in a deep slumber for eons.
Thus, Liam was bound to learn many new things even if he had been forcefully fed some information about the Arcane System. His mother and siblings had gotten their hands on ancient documents related to the Arcane Apocalypse. It proved to be extremely helpful for Liam since he could make use of the Arcane System thanks to these bits of information.
The way he had been taught the information was not very nice but the result made up for the pain, somewhat at least.
While Liam was testing the changes an increase in his Will stat caused, the students behind him remained silent. They had a lot to digest and preferred to silently observe him.
Once Liam was done with his tests, he took a look at the Arcanium he had obtained from the humans he killed in the blink of an eye.
\'Even though they were unable to use their Soultraits let alone fight accordingly, I received 1.1 Arcanium for each of them on average? Looks like their combat prowess was regarded twice as high as that of the Blazing Tooth Rats…good for me, I guess!\' Liam thought with a shrug. He accepted the Arcanium regardless. It was not as if anyone would reject a gift, even less if it was something he was in dire need of.
Some time passed before Liam and his people encountered a group of ordinary huge rats that were led by a few Blazing Tooth Rats. There was no Elite Ratatuo which was enough reason for Liam to rush forward and start killing everything that obstructed his path.
The students behind him were still recovering from the shocking incident that had happened in the coach\'s office but they understood that hesitating would inevitably lead to their death. If they were to hesitate while fighting with their life on the line, they would end up dead.
Olivia, Rex, and Kian were the first to follow Liam and join the battle that ended with a clear victory not even two minutes later.
Liam had observed the three students and he gave them a quick thumbs up before they continued their way through the hallway of the outer ring.
He was not sure how much time passed but they encountered Felix and his group of dozens of people after fighting against three more groups of monsters.
"I heard you killed the head coach and his assistants!" Felix said loudly when he saw Liam soaked in the blood of the monsters he had killed before.
Felix\'s people retreated involuntarily when Liam approached them with the same overbearing and calm manner he had subjected Felix to before.
"Yeah, so?" Liam responded, guessing that the young woman had safely made it inside the inner ring of the gymnasium.
"So? Nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that you did a good job," Felix said while the corners of his lips curled upward. It looked like Felix wanted to add something but he shut his mouth and pointed behind him.
"We\'ve started sealing the side entrances of the outer layer but it looks like more rats made their way inside the outer ring. I guess you\'ve encountered a bunch of them already. How about we clear one entrance after another together rather than running around wildly?" He proposed and Liam nodded his head without thinking too much about it.
Felix turned around, not even considering that Liam could actually betray them and attack all of a sudden. His followers were not as trustworthy as Felix so they waited for Liam to walk past them before they followed Felix.
After Liam had received more than one Arcanium for killing the ridiculously weak head coach and his assistants, he learned that it was actually worth killing Felix, his followers, and even the students he brought inside and receive easy money.
Killing everyone inside the gymnasium would probably reward him with more than 1000 Arcanium, however, on the flip side it would end up with him being forced to fend for himself all alone and he wouldn\'t be able to complete his customized mission properly. He wanted the additional rewards and not only his debt removed!
That was one of the two reasons why he didn\'t even think about massacring everyone mindlessly. The second reason, it was that he was distracted by the three notifications that had popped up when he finished killing the last group of rats.
