Chapter 159 Soulmancer (Part 3)

"You know what, let me show you a fun thing," The dean spoke. His voice was eerily creepy. His expression was the same. Right now, the dean looked completely different from the usual. It looked like another person inhabiting the dean's body.

After the dean spoke, he raised his other hand. As he did so, the ground opened up as a strange greyish crystal tore through the shadows.

The crystal wiggled as it seemed to be sentient and it slowly took the form of a spirit. The spirit then took a humanoid form as two legs and two arms appeared. After that, a head popped out as the spirit placed its feet on the shadowy ground.

"Let's see how you like it," the dean raised his hand once more. This time, ten more crystals burst through the ground.

The crystals were different this time as there were five different types of them. All being of a different color. The colors ranged from red, blue, green, white, and yellow.

With a total of eleven humanoid spirits in front of him, the dean grinned as he rubbed his hands coldly.

Looking at the crystals standing in front of him, he then tapped his scythe on the ground. As he did so, a portal appeared behind him and eleven souls flew out of the portal.

The souls then flew inside the humanoid crystal spirits. With that, they fused with the spirits and the humanoid crystals finally moved.

They raised their hands and beat their chest. After that, turning sideways; they did a military salute as they saluted the dean.

"Ahhh… feels so good to summon you all. I hope you all got stronger while I was away," The dean said. Addressing his minions, the dean waved his hand and motioned them to attack.

Giving them orders telepathically, the dean ordered them to attack the dark elf.

The crystal spirits nodded. Then, their eyes flared while their bodies morphed.

The red spirits got engulfed in fire as various fireballs appeared around them. With a fiery heat spreading through them, they raised their hands as they morphed them into a pair of curved blades.

The blades were red hot as their temperatures crossed the 1000-degree Celsius mark. With heated steps, they lunged at the dark elf and kept him company.

On the other hand, the blue spirits also changed. Their eyes turned a blueish hue as their bodies had a strange mucousy substance secreting out of them and covering them.

They raised their hands as the mucousy substance converge to their hands and turned into a whip. Swinging the whip, they also made their way towards the dark elf.

It was the same for the yellow, greyish, and greenish spirits. Though, their weapons and elements were different. It was just that they all had the same order to follow and it was to attack the dark elf.

"Arghh… don't get too cocky you bastard. I can also do that," The dark elf shouted angrily. Raising his hands, the shadows converged as the shadow beasts appeared in front of him.

"Go, attack them," The dark elf ordered as a dozen or so beasts made their way to intercept the spirits coming the dark elf's way.

"Yeah, try and intercept them. Let's see whose magic is stronger," The dean spoke.

As he did, the dean made his move and he disappeared from his position. Appearing in front of the dark elf, he slashed his scythe.

"Hmph… old move. Did you really think that I would fall for it?" The dark elf muttered as used his blades to block the scythe.

However, the dark elf's blades just hit the air as the dean had disappeared from his position once again.

"Keke" Giggling, the dean appeared besides him and slashed at the dark elf.

"Do you take me for a fool?" The dean spoke. Slashing at the dark elf, his scythe made way for the dark elf's neck.

The dark elf turned into a puff of smoke as the scythe slashed at empty air.

Appearing a hundred meters away, the dark elf smiled at the dean as he spoke,

"You looking for someone? I bet you didn't expect that, did you?" the dark elf taunted.

"Interesting," Seeing the dark elf disappear and then reappear, the dean muttered as he grinned in anticipation.

The dean's blood pumped, his face turning red from excitement as his eyes turned bloodshot.

Clenching his scythe, the dean jumped in the air as he slashed it downwards. Doing so, the scythe left an arc as it traveled towards the dark elf.

On the other hand, the dean himself disappeared as he changed the pace of battle and increased his speed.

Turning it into a melee battle, the dean started slashing repeatedly, his scythe leaving behind after images as he continuously aimed at the dark elf's neck.

As for the dark elf, he used a movement technique and dodged the dean's attacks.

However, the dean's speed only increased and with each attack, it became harder for the dark elf to dodge. Hence, the attack started to slowly overwhelm him as he started taking damage.

"I need to break out of his range. Or else, it's game over for me," the dark elf thought as he ran his mind to search for a way to break free from the dean's never-ending attacks.

Meanwhile,

Outside the dungeon gate,

As the battle raged, the number of goblins only increased while the humans grew tired of it all.

Amanda and Old Man Abraham stood outside two of the five portals. Behind them were a bunch of people. These people had sworn to follow Amanda and Old Man Abraham and were extremely loyal to them.

As for what they were doing right now. Right now, they were all getting ready to step into the portals and find out why the goblins were being spawned rapidly and then finish off whatever was causing this phenomenon.

"Let's go," Amanda spoke and stepped through the portal. The people behind her doing the same as they all moved in unison.

With Amanda stepping through the portal, Old Man Abraham did the same as he ordered the people behind him to follow.

Stepping through, Old Man Abraham entered the world on the other side as he looked around.

Taking a deep breath, he exhaled lightly as he turned around to have a look at those following behind him.

"Huh?" Confused, he searched a bit more but found out that he was all alone.

"I guess we all teleported to different places," Old Man Abraham thought.

Then, taking out a talisman from his spatial storage, he poured his mana into it and activated it.

Just as he did, the talisman lit up as it sent a reddish beam into the sky.

"Let's wait. They will come to find me soon enough," he thought as he sat on the ground cross-legged and closed his eyes, and started meditating.

Even though his eyes were closed and he seemed to have let his guard down. Right now, Old Man Abraham was the most observant as meditating was nothing but a ruse.

He was actually concentrating on his senses and scanning his surroundings. Searching for any strange creatures or occurrences, he observed it all.

In short, this was his way of not only telling everyone to regroup but also keeping a check on everything.

On the other hand, Amanda did the same. Though, her method was different as she didn't act as low-key as Old Man Abraham. Instead, she had gone all out, not caring for her surroundings; she turned into a beam of light and traveled through the whole plane and searched each and every corner of the plane.

This way, not only did she manage to find her people but she also searched for any strange occurrences in the plane.

After a few minutes of searching, Old Man Abraham opened his eyes. Turning around, he peered in the direction opposite the portal.

Standing up, he slowly lifted in the air as he gained altitude, and then,

"Booooom" Like a jet, he tore through the air and made his way towards the center of the plane.

On the other hand,

Amanda stopped as she also come across an irregularity.

"So that's where they are spawning from," She muttered. Observing the structure in front of her. She looked at the huge nest in front of her. In the middle of the nest was a greenish crystal. The crystal was called the best crystal as it supplied power to the nest and in turn spawned goblins.

The longer the energy was stored, the greater and more powerful the goblin spawned.

As for the spawned goblins, they were simply teleported right after they spawned; their destination being Earth, more specifically outside the dungeon located near the Academy.

"Time to cause some destruction," Both of them muttered at the same time as they rubbed their hands in excitement and cracked their necks coldly.
