Chapter 25: First Act: Bloodbound Summoning [3]
Anyone?"
"Mama never told me the academy would be like this..."
"I\'m not returning next semester, because this is fucked up..."
"I just want to liiive!"
Student were in their rooms shouting their hearts out as they looked out the windows.
Atleast those on the right wing.
What they saw down there was frightening and unexplainable.
Although it wasn\'t something that wasn\'t possible.
"...what the hell are those..."
One of the students on the right or west wing of the Silverfang Manor asked particularly to noone staring out the window.
Below there were what seemed to be undead skeletons roaming around with different weapons.
As the student stared outside he suddenly saw what seemed to be flashes and glimmering of a blade of some sort.
And after the glimmer dissipated some of the skeletons shattered in pieces others skulls flying off.
Then he saw the source and reason behind such incredible speed.
A boy with brown hair and brown eyes that glowed like a predators under the moonlight or rather in the lilac atmosphere.
"Is that the last of them?"
Rylan asked.
Xander instantly appeared next to Rylan his fists letting off smoke.
"I think so..."
Xander replied his eyes still glowing blue.
Not long ago they had encountered a student who looked like he had loose wires in his head.
The student wearing glasses and maintained a psychopathic look and grin on his face.
Rylan was able to feel the immense blood lust coming from him.
To top it off, his system confirmed the situation with a message.
[■Immense Bloodlust detected!]
That alone was enough to have Rylan move ready to strike without needing to think.
If he could do it quickly, then it wouldn\'t matter in the long run.
But to his dismay the force had both of them crush through the window all the way from the top.
By the time they hit the ground, Rylan had seen it.
And came to a conclusion that this wasn\'t a student but a different being entirely.
His eyes were a bright bloody red and blood was flowing from his eyes.
Rylan acted fast and took hold of the figure to act as his cushion to the fall.
With a loud thud that caused dust to rise in the air, both had landed.
But even with the figure acting as a cushion for Rylan he still injured his legs a bit from the impact and by the time he was getting up the figure had already appeared infront of him.
The figure had claws and was ready to attack.
"Sweet noble blood...PURE BLOOD!!"
"I can already taste it, it\'s reeking off you!"
Rylan looked up and then flashed a smile.
"Smiling?...I guess you\'ve accepted your fate...join us in bringing his power upon this world..."
The rogue student rejoiced.
With another defeaning crush a blow landed on the figure\'s face and even Rylan could feel bones breaking.
From the debris and dust arose Xander his fists engulfed in fire.
Rylan had seen him burst through the window all the way from the top as he crossed his arms to shield himself from the glass.
Xander went to help Rylan get up.
After they were both on their feet, the figure had gotten up as well seemingly unbothered by the spiralling blow he had recieved.
His left side of the face was smooshed inside, jaw loose, broken teeth and the meat on the cheek bone hanging.
The left side of his hair was burnt off revealing his scalp as if he had recieved a clean shave from Xander\'s burning fists.
The figure then snapped the jaw back in place as he spat blood.
Without saying anything he rose in the air and was engulfed in green aura that blended flawlessly with the purple hue that flickered and glitched.
Three large magic circles materialized in the air and without warning beings began appearing.
Skeletons also known as the undead.
"A summoner?..."
Rylan muttered.
"...pretty sure it\'s necromancy..."
Xander stated.
But the two didn\'t pay much attention as they both got closer to each other.
Back to back.
Xander and Rylan looked at each other and then nodded.
As if agreeing Xander to fight the undead and Rylan to handle the rogue student.
Xander smiled as if he had taken a completely different personality.
He dashed forward, dodging the attacks flawlessly and landed hits that were defeaning.
Rylan on the other hand took hold of his sword tightly and moved up ready to swing.
\'I can tell he is not good at combat or close range fights...if I close in the gap I\'ll be able to overpower him.\'
Rylan thought.
"...unless-"
His words were cut short as a magic circle appeared infront of him and an undead jumped out of it.
"...called it, unless he summons more."
He immediately slashed through the skeleton as it exploded in what seemed to be green smoke that blinded his path.
Without warning he was attacked through the smoke by the rogue student who continued smiling.
They landed and the rogue student grinned widely whilst pinning Rylan and proceeded to lick blood off of Rylan\'s neck.
Rylan jolted.
"Aaaah...Pervert!"
He was uncomfortable and hit the rogue student with the swords handle.
