Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 166

Chapter 166: A New Beginning for Bastille! Part-1.
Hotel Grand Moon, rooftop.

Shin kept moving back and forth with a nervous and tense look on his face. Mayor Zang was standing on the side with dark circles under his eyes, and even Aria was standing nearby with a dazed look on her face.

The three of them were already under a lot of pressure, as they hadn’t heard any news from Jareth for a whole day now.

When the fight originally started, Jareth and Konda kept fighting near the bastille, and with the insanely huge body of that dragon, it was easy to see what was going on.

But eventually the two of them kept changing the battlefield; the fight kept going for hours, and the two of them disappeared in distance while fighting.

Shin and the others dared not use mana detection ability on that dragon; the dragon will sense it instantly and might even target Bastille too.

No one had thought that the fight would keep going for so long.

Whenever the dragon moved or attacked, its huge body caused small-scale earthquakes, making the lives of ordinary people in Bastille a mess.

People have been living under the threat of annihilation these few days.

The mayor had to work continuously to stabilize the chaos in the city, and the whole city is currently under martial law; no one is allowed to come out of the house.

In fact, the massive amount of debris that flew towards the city during Jareth and Konda’s fight has already destroyed the barrier.

Thankfully Shin was there to deal with the collateral damage, so there are no casualties.

The whole desert in a fifty-kilometer area where the dungeon was originally located has been scorched black, and massive valleys filled with lave have been created.

All of this is just a result caused by the fight between two peak powerhouses.

Shin and the others dared not even think about entering that battle, as they could feel in their bones that if they entered the battle, they would surely die.

In fact, they will be a hindrance for Jareth and will drag him down.

Thus, they never entered the battle and kept praying for Jareth’s victory.

Now that it’s already the night of the third day, there has been no news about what has become of that battle.

Shin and the others are dying to know the outcome, as the outcome of this battle will decide their fate too.

Konda is corrupted with miasma, and miasma hates living things and always tries to corrupt them; thus, it is absolutely certain that Konda will definitely rush back to destroy the city if it wins the battle.

The mayor sighed at the situation and said in a depressed tone,

“Sigh, I have already sent a distress message outside, but they said that they can’t send army in this isolated place so fast as military vehicles don’t work here…”

“They will think about dispatching the military after knowing the outcome of the battle between that bone dragon and the ‘Divine Flame’…”

Shin frowned at those words and replied,

“No, by the time we know the outcome of Jareth’s battle with that beast, it would be too late… Although I don’t really think that Jareth will lose, we need to be ready for everything…”

“Jareth may be a grade-1 mage, but he’s a human too after all; he has a limited amount of mana… I don’t know how he hasn’t run out of mana until now, but surely he can’t keep going at this rate…”

“The attack speed of that dragon is too fast… Despite it’s huge body, its power and speed are on par with a Grade-1 Warrior…”

Unlike mages, the appearance of a Grade-1 warrior is more difficult in this world.

The human body has limits; magic can help cross those limits and grant amazing power.

Warriors don’t have the support of magic; they are just people with stronger bodies and flashy weapon skills.

In this world, to become a grade-1 is to break through the genetic limits of your body; for mages, it’s much easier as they have an insane amount of mana and the help of the mana circuit.

But Warriors don’t have massive mana pools or a mana circuit; their mana is just deposited in their body, thus ascending to become a grade-1 warrior is very difficult.

There hasn’t been a single grade-1 warrior in the past three centuries.

In the current world, only Mark’s younger sister, Alice, has the potential to reach the level of a grade 1 warrior and become a true sword king.

Due to birth defects, she was born with broken magic circuits, and thus even grade 1 individuals can’t help extend her magic circuit, but as if to compensate for the inability to wield magic, she has an insane talent for swordsmanship.

The power and speed of a Grade 1 warrior are by no means weaker than those of a Grade 1 mage at all.

Which means Konda not only has the miasma-type grade-1 mage-level magic abilities, it also has the power and speed of a grade-1 warrior.

The fact that Jareth has been able to even keep up with such an insane beast for three days without getting injured is already an insane feat.

Not even Reynald or Nathan could have achieved this feat, even after going all out.

Jareth has a very strong physique, and his mana singularity helps him replenish his mana at an extremely fast speed; thus, he technically has infinite mana.

He would have been defeated long ago if not for these two abilities.

…

Just when Shin and the other two were getting more and more stressed, the night suddenly became bright all of a sudden.

Gold light came from the direction where Jareth and Konda had gone during their fight.

“W-what going on!? T-this golden light… and this bone chilling sensation… H-heavenly punishment!?”

Shin has read a lot of history books; thus, he immediately figured out what that golden light depicted.

Only when the heavenly punishment falls does such a pure golden light appear and spread such insane spatial fluctuations in the void.

Shin could feel that the space-time fabric itself was trembling and even Mana was getting chaotic.

Looking in the direction of that golden light, a shocked expression appeared on Shin’s face.

Heavenly punishment is the highest level of punishment an individual can get; it not only annihilates your body, it destroys your soul, will, consciousness, and everything.

It straight up ‘deletes’ you from existence and turns you into ‘nothingness’ along with the space-time fabric in the area.

Heavenly punishment usually only appears when the ‘heaven’s’ itself is angry at something or someone.

Now that it has appeared here, it means that it either has killed Konda or Jareth.

Heavenly punishment is impartial; it doesn’t matter if you are tainted with miasma or not; it can fall on anyone that angers the heaven itself.

In other words, there is still a chance that it could have fallen on Jareth too, and that’s extremely bad news for Shin and the others.

Once something happens to Jareth, they are all as good as dead. The bone dragon will not let go of even a single person, as it can sense ‘living’ beings with the help of miasma from hundreds of kilometers away.

You can’t hide from its detection. The only way is to fight him to death or just keep running.

Time passed slowly, the golden light disappeared, and everything went dark again.

Half an hour passed by, and the tension in the air kept increasing for the three of them.

Just when they were about to collapse from stress, a figure flew towards the city and bypassed the barrier before finally landing on the rooftop of the city.

Jareth was alive and well.

The usual cold expression was still on his face, the only difference being that he had a tired look in his eyes at the moment.

Seeing him appear so suddenly, the three of them were shocked for a moment, but then happy smiles appeared on their faces.

Shin quickly inquired in a worried tone,

“W-what happened to that dragon? Did you win? Are you injured somewhere?”

Aria also hurried over to cast healing magic, but Jareth waved his hand and denied it.

He walked towards the stairs slowly. But before leaving, he said in a calm and tired voice,

“Dead, that dragon was destroyed by the heavenly punishment; I was lucky to survive as the heavenly punishment didn’t target me…”

“I am a bit exhausted, so I will leave the aftermath to you three…”

With that said, Jareth went downstairs and headed towards his room to take some rest.

He has been fighting for so long, and he was already mentally exhausted.

Continuously dodging the endless attacks of that dragon for three days without getting injured and still counterattacking with powerful spells along with trying to analyze the thunder in the clouds above.

Jareth was doing all of these at the same time.

If he didn’t have the help of the mana singularity and the help of insanely pure mana, this would have been impossible.

But not everything was fruitless.

‘I gained 15000 credit points… And even after using 4000 on that attack enhancement card that I used on Konda… I still had 16100 left… Now I have 31100 cp…’

‘Now I can do another gold lottery…’

A rare happy smile appeared on Jareth’s face as he entered his room and thought about his gains.

Konda really pushed him to his limits, but the rewards he brought were equally generous.

‘Let’s sleep for now… I will use the lottery once I am back to my peak state… I can’t wait to see the result…’
