With a high-pitched, blood-curdling sound, the students' legs buckled up and they collapsed onto the ground seeing a dark-haired old man stepping out of the portal.
Following him was a mysterious veiled humpy old man, several people emerged through the portal with dark sunken skin, and hollow ominous eyes that gave one nightmares.
Taking the lead, the hunched old man smiled and raised his chin showcasing his dark brittle skin that was wriggling over a hollow bony face and sharp greenish-burning fire burning in the socket of the eyes.
It was such a disgusting face that if seen once, one may not be able to eat or sleep for days.
The humans who entered alone looked like a pair of dead men as if they were on the verge of dying.
Their huge number was enough to scare the shit out of everyone.
Those sickly rotten fish-like faces of people standing behind the old man scanned everyone exuding an air of mystery and unsettling aura.
"I quit!"
"I don't want to fight any more."
"I gave up!!"
"Take me…Take me out
"Tower take me out..!"
Shrill cries echoed one after as they decided to give up.
Like every other trial, your body would be teleported out once you quit but seeing that this wasn't happening, many started pulling out their hairs while some lost their mind.
"Why can't I get out?"
"Please take me out!"
"Please…..!!"
"Mommmmm!I want to go out!"
"Stop screaming, none of you can get out of here."David laughed loudly.
Hearing his words, a sense of dreariness as if they were trapped in a never-ending nightmare washed upon them.
Some lost their consciousness and fell to the ground while some wet their pants.

"Noooooo!I don't want to die!!"
"David, I am your good friend. I always helped you before."
"David, do you remember me? My house had a good relationship with yours?"
"David, please spare me. I will even lick your shoes."
"Davi…"
"Fuck off!" David shouted with a gruesome smile while feeling satisfaction inside his heart seeing them begging him.
Ignoring them, he turned towards the old man.
"My Lord Calvin, I finished my task."David bowed his head before the old man with a large grin.
"Child, I am impressed with your talent. You will surely become a great person."The old man named Calvin let out a hollow shrill laugh.
"You can take your leave now."
David shook his head and then turned at his classmates who gasped in fear and swallowed their saliva.
"I want to watch the show, Lord. Please grant my wish to stay with my classmates till their deaths. I want them to cry and wriggle under my heart. I want to see their sanity crushed into pieces until nothing of them is left behind.
"Hahaha! I like your courage, however, you need to go."
"This isn't a place for you to play around."
"Things are gonna be too chaotic."He shouted and waved at his staff, conjuring a blood-red barrier surrounding David to allow him to pass through the portal.
"But…"
"I said leave before the portal closed, otherwise don't blame me if something happens to you later. Things will become too troublesome and I can't babysit you."Calvin's voice became cold.
"I let you go against the plan once and allowed you to kill Ezekiel which is already enough to bring us trouble later so I won't take any more disobedience."Calvin released his aura pressurizing David and almost making him bend on his knees.
"I apologise for my misconduct. Please forgive."
"Hmm!Now leave."Calvin snorted.
David giving a bow stepped back and glanced around with a violent expression.
'I have been waiting for this time for so long.'
'You all who made fun of me and looked down upon me will finally go through what I have gone through.'
'That sense of oppression, trepidation and the fear of your life in the hands of others.'
'Alas, I can't watch this.'
Sneering at them, David walked into the portal.
Few students who saw this felt that this was their last straw to stay alive.
"We will meet again…"
"Soon…Very soon.."
Turning fanatic and clouded by a sense of fear they had lost their very reason, they didn't even waste a moment in thinking if this was correct or not and directly rushed forward.
Seeing this, the old man waved his hand.
Swish!
Something passed through their legs and as they ran frantically towards the portal, they fell onto the ground and lost their legs.
Those who watched them knew this was the dumbest decision but who could reason with madmen and psychos?
Calvin then turned his gaze towards the frozen students who shivered on meeting those hollow sockets.
"I hope I didn't disturb you."
"However, it doesn't matter as all of you are going to die here unless you give me what I came fo..."
A bestial glint of madness shone in his eyes sensing a murderous gleam, and with swift movements, he raised his staff.
ClANG!
A huge bluish white emitting a pale oceanic hue shot and clamoured over the old man.
Huge crevices appeared with a burst of a snowstorm that erupted sweeping everything with a layer of mist.
"This…Isn't this what I came for?"The old man snickered with a smile and waved his hand.
Swish!
Julian felt a condensing pressure and her body shot back in the air.
Two pairs of icy white wings appeared over her back that obstructed the flight. She then turned her body in mid-air and landed on the ground with a cold bitter expression.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer crimson bloody eyes shone erupting a thick plunging murderous glint, startling the students around her.
Her eyes scanning around finally fell on frozen Lucas squatting far away, seeing which a sense of relief washed over her.
Her gaze then turned toward injured Frederick's stiff appearance who was standing quite near to the place she landed.
"Frederick, gather everyone and take them to the safety area on the other side. There is an emergency door in there which can be accessed by a privileged pass of ours."
"I don't know if the door can still help us to get out but the safety zone still, it can surely protect you all from them. I and others will cover you while you gather the students around."
Julian whispered in a tone that could only be heard by Frederick.
Frederick was awakened by Julian's cold voice. Staring at her with a shocked expression for a moment, he gave her a slight nod.
Julian then turned her gaze towards the group of men. Stomping the ground to create a sonic explosion, she moved leaving behind many afterimages.
Meanwhile, a sea of flames suddenly emerged from behind them.
The group of people moving ahead with slow but eerie steps suddenly turned back towards a huge sea of flames.
"Go deal with that and the rest of you create the sacrificial altar and start the ritual."
"Except for killing, you can do anything you want."
"Yes, Sir Calvin."
The black-skinned people of 6-Star rank bowed their heads to obey and left behind streaks of light galloping across the sea of flames.
Meanwhile, Calvin cast a playful smile.
CRACK!CRACK!CRACK!
He stretched his hands over which a wriggling mass of flesh converged forming a layer. Letting out a cracking sound, his humpy back suddenly straightened up.
With a symphony of cracking and reforming bones echoed Calvin's small height of 4 feet changed to 6 feet.
The old shivering man from before was nowhere to be found. In his place, stood a tall muscular black scaly man with a dark visage that of a monster.
He flicked his staff a little. A small pointy blade emerged at the lower of the staff elongated which he swung forward.
CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!
As the swords clamoured against one another, rifts appeared on the grassy land mass beneath their feet while the area around their clash instantly pulverised the surroundings.
Each of them created fierce storms and was strong enough to decimate buildings.
The result of shockwaves toppled many who fell onto their feet due to the whole place shaking around.
Soon, a cold blast of waves expanded crazily creating a blizzard that was soon dispersed by a beam of condensed fire shooting up into the sky and illuminating the whole sky above them.
