Chapter 141 - Night Raid
"Including you?" asked Vincent.
Vincent looked at Ersus in amus.e.m.e.nt.
Ersus was stunned. He then said, "Of course not! I just have to stay here!"
"Huh? Why do you have to stay here? What do you mean?" asked Vincent. He felt as if there was a hidden meaning behind his words.
Ersus chuckled and did not continue to dwell on the issue.
"One last piece of advice! Be alert when you sleep at night. Don"t believe anyone who comes to your room, or something very terrible will happen," said Ersus.
He then turned around and left. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
"What do you mean?" shouted Vincent.
He shouted in the direction where Ersus had disappeared to. Unfortunately, he did not receive any answer.
He then revealed an excited expression and muttered, "This is getting more and more interesting."
He was very interested in War School.
He chose a room at random and walked in. He looked at the environment and decorations. He had all the essentials that he needed. He did not take off his clothes and laid on the bed.
Before going to bed, he filled the ground with World Cleansing Fire Seeds. Other than himself, anyone else that did not have his permission would be instantly blown into a sieve.
It was past three in the morning. This was the time when people needed rest the most. Vincent vaguely heard someone opening his door in his sleep.
He immediately woke up, but he did not get up. In the dark environment, under the moonlight, he saw a figure tiptoeing in.
"Oh!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The World Cleansing Fire Seeds that Vincent had planted were instantly activated. The violent explosion drowned the person directly. Under Vincent"s control, they turned into chains, trapping the figure and formed a ball.
At the same time, a cry of pain came from the next room. The sound was loud and ear-piercing.
Vincent was curious. He turned over and got off his bed. He did not care about the person who was bound by World Cleansing Fire in the middle of his room. He opened the door and walked out of the room.
At that moment, the door of the next room opened from the inside. A wide and fat figure rushed out. Under the moonlight, Vincent realized that it was the fat man, Ersus.
Ersus covered his arm with one hand. When he saw Vincent, he was obviously stunned and turned to run.
Vincent waved his hand, and a World Cleansing Fire Vine flew out. It directly wrapped around Ersus"s feet.
His feet were bound which resulted in him losing his balance. He then pounced forward.
Vincent suddenly clenched his right hand towards Ersus. The World Cleansing Fire Vine instantly spread out and wrapped around Ersus, leaving only his head exposed.
At that time, people came out of the surrounding thatched huts one after another. Some were carried out, while others were dragged out.
Under the night sky, it was impossible to tell who was who. However, according to Vincent"s guess, the people living in these thatched huts should be the new students who partic.i.p.ated in the a.s.sessment during this time.
Footsteps sounded behind him. Vincent turned his head and saw a catgirl walking out with a cold expression. It was the room where Ersus exited.
Vincent glanced over and did not say anything. He walked straight to Ersus and squatted down. His eyes were full of amus.e.m.e.nt as he looked at him.
Naturally, he did not care about the fact that he had been attacked. However, he was very curious as to why such a situation had occurred.
"Tell me, senior Ersus, what exactly happened?" asked Vincent.
Ersus had originally wanted to break free from Vincent"s World Cleansing Fire. However, every time he struggled, he would feel unbearable intense pain. He did not dare to make any further movements.
As for the guy in Vincent"s room, he was in a worse situation than Ersus.
"Hehe! Vincent, do you believe me when I say that this is a test?" said Ersus awkwardly.
Vincent naturally did not believe what Ersus said, so he snapped his fingers at him.
"Ahhhhh!"
Ersus felt the Fire Vine around his body getting tighter and tighter. His fear of fire, coupled with the pain, made him scream miserably.
"Stop, stop, stop! I"ll tell you! I"ll tell you! It"s the school... Ahhhhh!"
Ersus was burned by World Cleansing Fire so badly that he was unable to utter a single word.
Vincent snapped his fingers again, and Ersus instantly softened. He was gasping for air.
"Tell me, or else..."
Vincent raised his hand and waved it in front of Ersus.
Ersus shuddered. The feeling earlier was too terrifying! He thought he was going to die! He did not want to experience it again.
"No, no, no! This is really a test, and also the second-to-last test for you new students... Ahhhhh!"
Vincent snapped his fingers decisively. Before Ersus could finish speaking, an intense pain hit him again.
The fragrance of meat spread in the breeze. Everyone present could smell it, and many even swallowed their saliva!
There was nothing they could do. It was simply too fragrant!
"If you don"t tell the truth, then I"m sorry, Senior Ersus. I"m afraid you won"t be able to sleep tonight," said Vincent.
He then stood up and walked towards his own room.
When the other people who came out of the thatched huts saw the scene, they were so frightened that they shrunk their necks.
Was this the person who had mastered the fire elemental battle techniques?
It was really too terrifying!
The catgirl looked curiously at Vincent"s back. She then turned her head to look at Ersus who had been burnt by Vincent. She snorted coldly and followed Vincent.
"Whoa! What a Big Wellington Steak!"
After following Vincent to his room, the catgirl immediately saw the World Cleansing Fireball in the middle of the room.
Vincent turned his head to look at the catgirl and did not say anything. He waved his hand, and the World Cleansing Fire slowly retreated and revealed a person"s pitch-black head.
It was pitch-black due to the World Cleansing Fire. No one could even tell what race it was.
"Ah? This person has such a personality!"
The catgirl exclaimed again.
When the person who was enveloped by the World Cleansing Fire heard what she had said, he almost fainted from anger.
"Who caused me to be like this? Don"t you know!"
"Junior! Let"s talk it out..."
The person looked at Vincent and pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying. A puff of black smoke spewed out from his mouth.
"Pfft! Hahahaha! I"m dying of laughter! I"m spitting out smoke! Hahahaha!"
The catgirl laughed until she cried. It was really too funny.
Vincent also revealed a faint smile. He looked at the person and said, "Senior, tell me, why?"
"Junior! It"s really the school that made us do this! This is the last... Ahhhhh!"
Vincent used World Cleansing Fire Vine once again to bind him. He then brought the catgirl out of the room.
Based on what the two of them had said, Vincent could confirm that this matter did in fact have something to do with War School. It was just that he felt that things would not be so simple, so he did not let the two of them off.
He was waiting for the next development of the matter.
Just as he walked out of the room, he felt a sense of crisis. Vincent pounced forward directly and grabbed the catgirl. At the same time, he threw out a large cl.u.s.ter of World Cleansing Fire towards the direction of the crisis.
Whoos.h.!.+
The sound of the World Cleansing Fire flying through the air.
Boom!
The sound of the World Cleansing Fire colliding with an unknown target.
The night sky suddenly lit up and was as bright as day.
Although the catgirl was pulled down by Vincent, she did not just watch. She clasped her hands together and chanted, "Divine curse, Thunderstorm!"
Her hands faced World Cleansing Fire. Countless thunderbolts shot out from her palms, following behind World Cleansing Fire.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
"Eh? Interesting."
In the shadows, a tall and straight lion-headed youth with a playful expression walked out.
The youth"s body was suffused with a golden light.
Vincent stood up and swung his right hand. The Sky-Burning Sword appeared in his hand. He looked at the youth warily.
He could feel a faint pressure from the youth"s body. This was the innate suppression of a high-level creature against a low-level creature.
This lion-headed youth was at least a level six creature.
"Quick reaction, reasonable use of talent, meticulous thinking, and alert."
The youth looked at Vincent and the catgirl and began to evaluate.
"The quality of this batch of freshmen is quite high!"
"Ah, ah, ah! Boss Duanmu! Ah, ah, ah! Help, ah, ah, ah, ah!"
Ersus"s voice rang out. His voice was hoa.r.s.e. It was obvious that Vincent"s World Cleansing Fire had hurt him a lot.
