Chapter 33 Life and Death Line
The battlefield of Class 8 is a fierce battle raging on.
However, as the fight progressed, everyone belatedly realized that Ms. Tsukimi had disappeared without a trace.
"That guy... he actually ran away all by himself?!"
"Are you kidding me?! Abandoning students and running away like that!"
"That's normal, isn't it? It's his off-duty time, isn't it? Are you still hoping for that jerk of a teacher? Wake up, we can only rely on ourselves now!"
He quickly bandaged his wound and charged back at the swarm of flies.
"Waaah..." The two children behind Bai Lili bit their sleeves tightly.
The two little ones trembled like leaves, but they managed to suppress their sobs.
They were afraid their cries would distract everyone, afraid of becoming a burden, afraid of dying here without even seeing their fathers on the front lines one last time...
The battle lasted a long time. After several people were injured and more than half of their ammunition was used up, the Eighth Platoon finally managed to withstand the first wave of the densest swarm of flies.
Looking at the thinning of the "dark clouds" in the sky, everyone was just about to catch their breath.
Unexpectedly, the next second!
"Eh-!!!"
"Awooo—!!!"
Two fierce, piercing shrieks suddenly came from the higher sky.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and they looked on in horror, their hands and feet instantly turning ice-cold!
In the dark sky, two giant eagles with wingspans of over five meters, covered in dark gold scales, and with eyes as sharp as knives, folded their wings and swooped down like golden lightning!
Second-tier superior Void Beast - Golden Rending War Eagle!
The apex predator in Class D rifts!
Speed, strength, and defense are all at the pinnacle of the second tier!
Having just endured the exhaustion from the swarm of flies, and now without the protection of Tsukimi's moonlight, the members of Class 8 were already pushed to their limits.
And now, with the addition of these two war eagles that have suddenly descended like the Grim Reaper…
They were in a hopeless situation with no chance of survival!
Her pupils contracted instantly, and without any hesitation, she gritted her teeth, pushed her speed to the limit, and transformed into a blurry afterimage as she took the initiative to meet the giant eagle that was swooping down!
"What?! Are you crazy?! That's a second-tier advanced level!" a student exclaimed.
"Shut up!" Without turning his head, he said, "Someone has to stop it! You guys think of a way to deal with the other one!"
After two weeks of intensive training, Shan Na's use of the "Flash Shadow" technique has become quite proficient.
If she were to face a lower-level second-tier Void Beast, she would never be as pathetic as she was during the entrance exam, and might even have a chance to win.
But at this moment, she was facing a second-tier superior!
Speed, strength, defense – a complete and utter domination!
If you are touched by its sharp claws or beak, you will either die or be seriously injured!
Even more desperate is the thought that even if she can unleash her full power and hold off this one, what about the other one?
At that moment, another Golden Warhawk circled once in the sky, its crimson eyes suddenly flashing an even brighter scarlet.
Warhawks love to eat children!
It locked onto the two trembling beauties behind Bai Lili, let out a sharp screech, and swooped down.
Seeing this, Huomu made a decisive decision!
He abandoned the poisonous flies he was confronting, faced the attack coming from behind without dodging or avoiding it, turned his gun around, aimed at the diving Golden Warhawk, and emptied the magazine as quickly as possible!
"Bang bang bang bang—!"
The bullets whistled out, but were all deflected by the hard scales of the Golden Warhawk.
It kicked up a trail of sparks.
Seemingly feeling provoked, the war eagle suddenly turned around, its scream sounding like it was in a fit of rage.
"Firewood!" Bai Lili exclaimed.
Watching Huomu put himself in danger to save them.
The girl's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
She gritted her teeth, a fierce struggle flashing in her eyes, which was ultimately replaced by an almost tragic determination.
"Get under the car! No matter what happens, don't come out! Cover your ears!"
She quickly gave the two children some instructions and pushed them to the most secluded corner under the mule cart.
Then, she stood up, took a deep breath, and her fingertips once again emitted the light of her inner energy, weaving it into several threads. She gritted her teeth and rushed out!
She has to help!
At least, we should share some of the pressure!
Although her legs were trembling, she was terrified.
That's why she never wanted to be a respondent from the very beginning.
If she absolutely had to play a role, she would only want to be a support character far removed from the battlefield!
Because she knows her own flaws better than anyone else—
She is weak-willed, indecisive, afraid of getting hurt, and even more afraid of seeing someone she knows die in front of her.
She knew that she lacked the responsibility and courage of a "warrior" at heart, and deep down she felt that she was simply not suited to be a combatant who had to face life and death and fight constantly.
The reason I entered Echo Academy was simply to follow my family's wishes—
The Bai family needs to "gild" their eldest daughter, and they need an impressive resume as a respondent so that they can marry into the Thousand Faces family more "legitimately" in the future.
As one of the three major Echoing Families of the City of Fire, the Thousand Faces Family only allows Echoers to marry each other in order to ensure the purity of their offspring's qualities.
Without enrolling in Echo Academy, she would not be qualified to marry into the Thousand Faces family.
This morning, Bai Lili was so enthusiastic, constantly urging Huo Mu and Sha Na to ask Qi Ji to attend the mission.
Deep down, I couldn't help but harbor that cowardly thought—
If that monster-like Saki-kun were here, could I safely hide behind him and avoid facing these terrifying battles?
"I'm really...useless."
The moment she rushed forward, Bai Lili inwardly complained to herself.
……
Three locations, three battles, all simultaneously reaching a fever pitch.
Qi Ji, alone with his sword, guarded the narrow passage.
Tsukimi and Shindai Seien faced off in a showdown at the edge of the cliff.
Meanwhile, the students of Class 8 were struggling desperately in their dire situation.
The barrage of comments was completely overwhelming:
"Family members! Does anyone understand?! I'm running three live streams simultaneously!"
"I can't keep up! I really can't keep up!"
However, it is clear that both Saki and Tsukimi hold an absolute advantage.
However, the members of Class 8 were already on the verge of death.
Viewers were anxious for Huomu and his group, and flocked to Qiji's live stream to send messages for help.
Although they knew that even if they sent comments, Saki wouldn't see them.
And even if we assume that Saki can see it, so what?
The pressure that Saki faces is no less than that faced by Hōki and his group.
He single-handedly fought against the countless, inexhaustible hordes of raging beasts.
He wielded an invincible sword, but an invincible sword cannot be in two places at the same time.
Moreover, as Tsukimi said, all expectations and pressure were poured onto Saki Sakuya alone—
How fair is it to Saki?
