Chapter [Bonus ][199] The End Of This Nightmare.
A white light encompa.s.sed the world for a brief moment.
A pure white light, which pierced the skies, broke apart the barrier covering the Island and splitting the skies apart.
It was similar to the explosion of a nuclear bomb, but one that didn"t form a mushroom cloud but only went up.
It parted the clouds, and dyed the skies and seas and land white.
And then it got smaller and smaller and disappeared.
The cause of the beam of pure white mana stood with an entire arm missing, looking up at the sky.
Ara.n.u.s stood looking at the night sky, the moon which was previously covered by dark clouds coming into full view.
He closed his eyes, seemingly bathing in the moonlight.
"Did you see it?"
He said whilst bathing in the sunlight.
His body twitched, and then he smiled.
"Good, Remember my form and mana-controlling method, and you will be able to do it as well Alan."
He continued to speak, opening his eyes that stared at the moon.
"Earth has a beautiful moon, A soothing and pleasant sight."
He said pleasant things, but his face was stoic.
"Well, I will give you back your control. Take care."
He said, and the pressure that surrounded the entire island disappeared.
Ara.n.u.s"s pressure disappeared, and Alan was back in Control.
He stared at the sky, his eyes wavering, his mouth bleeding, and his insides an even worse mess.
He wanted to look down at the state of his arm, but his vision faded.
He lost consciousness and then fell to the ground on his back.
The last thing he saw was the moon, and then he agreed with Ara.n.u.s.
*Thud*
The moon truly is beautiful.

Kazikato, after defeating the pit fiend flew towards the Island at a tremendous speed.
He raised his scythe, and his mana of death flared high up in the sky, taking up the appearance of a skull.
He was going to break the barrier until...
He saw a beam of white light bigger than even the island rises up in the sky, breaking the barrier apart and dispelling his mana of death, and sending him flying.
He crashed into the sea, and when he looked up, he saw a world dyed white.
"What The...?"
He mouthed, his scythe shaking.
"Are you...scared?"
Kazikato said, the trembling of his weapon increasing.
Kazikato was astonished, what the heck was that? What was it to make an ego weapon gifted by Ariel herself afraid?
Kazikato put the scythe back into his spatial ring and flew back to the island.
But then...he stopped in the air.
When the barrier had broken, the ones who were trapped were also released.
What Perfect timing.

Jefferey Stewart, after being freed from the entrapment of the demons immediately searched the entire island for students.
He and the instructors believed that because they had disarmed the trap, the barrier had broken as well, and the demons had fled, leaving only a few demonic beasts behind.
They first approached the Main Building, finding most of the students camped there.
Henry Fornum, Elaine Parker, and Ryuda Isshin were found in the back of the building, along with the corpse of a goliath-type demon.
They found Kurosaki Ren, Olivia Olsfer, Alexander Wright, And Lucas Hiddleston a little further away.
The injuries on this group were severe, and a lot of the Instructors were focused on healing them, whilst a few went out and patrolled the entire island, taking care of minor remaining demonic beasts.
"The vegetation is thriving...did the students lie?"
Jefferey thought as he arrived at an area thriving with vegetation, contrasting the words of the students who said this area was like a sea of flame.
But Jefferey didn"t find anything like that, rather he found an area thriving with life, with no traces of fire or a battle found.
He then entered an open area of the forest and stopped.
He saw Elijah Ardor standing triumphantly, although unconscious and Serena Soubuelle lying a little further away also unconscious.
He went and checked their conditions and was relieved when they weren"t injured, and although he wondered what the h.e.l.l happened, he first transported them to the facility when they wouldn"t wake despite his tries.
He dropped them off and went to patrol the Island once again...and now came in upon an area with no vegetation at all, a ruined landscape that depicted a great battle that had been fought.
Unlike the previous area thriving with life, death was the only thing found here.
He went deeper and deeper, the number of craters increasing.
And then he stopped...
Sabrina Wellington, lying unconscious on the ground, with her dried blood filling up her face along with a cut and a few other minor wounds.
But that was not what made him stop.
*Gulp*
He gulped as he saw Alan Peccator on the ground, missing an entire arm and in a severe state.
He grabbed both of them and Handled Alan with care as he quickly made his way toward the main building.
The moment he got there, he ordered the entire team of medics to focus on Alan.

"The recent attack on the Island where the Shield and Hero Academy training camp was held still remains a mystery, with the Princ.i.p.als of both schools refuse to leak any Information.
Based on a.s.sumptions, it is said that the attack had been planned by demons who had inside help from Shield and Hero Academy.
They had known where it would be held and had made necessary preparations beforehand.
A total of 14 students have died, 9 from Hero Academy and 6 from Shield, whilst numerous are in the hospital because of severe injuries.
Many Guilds and Parents are admonishing Shield and Hero Academy for the lack of protective measures, and both Schools are suffering severe public backlash.
The a.s.sociation along with the top 10 guilds are after both Shield and Hero Academy, for letting their future generations almost die.
Eden, Shields"s biggest compet.i.tor for the top spot has also joined in, with the princ.i.p.al of Eden Saying that they would have never let such a huge blunder happen, and Oliver Olsfer and Mitsuki Aoi have been requested to resign from their positions. Further on this, we have been told that the princ.i.p.al of Hero Academy had agreed to resign but Headmaster Oliver has been supported by many to not resign, his previous reputation saving him. He has also convinced The princ.i.p.al of Hero Academy to not resign and continue working.
Multiple prodigies have been severely injured from this incident, t.i.tan and Behemoth suffering immense damages, but the most struck guild was undoubtedly Twilight Because Alan Peccator has still not woken up unlike Henry Fornum And Elaine Parker.
Many questions once again if Shield should still be the top academy, the Labyrinth incident, and the island attack that just happened to make their reputation take a ma.s.sive blow. And support for Eden has increased, and the a.s.sociation and World Government may just declare it the top, However, because Oliver Olsfer is still a hero to many, this outcome can be avoided. But it is clear that Sir Oliver may not be able to handle all the public pressure alone, So..."

Arken switched the television off as he whistled to himself.
The entire world was aware of this, every d.a.m.n channel was covering this,
His head hurt as he heard the report, before mouthing to himself whilst he took a swig.
"d.a.m.n, s.h.i.t hit the fan."
