Chapter 265 Easing The Pain



Chapter 265 Easing The Pain

“Please, man, I’m begging you here!” The student was on his knees, but he had no clue where he was. He was still in the dark space, and even though he had been here for a while now, his eyes weren’t adjusting at all since there was next to no light in the darkness.

“I answered all of your questions, I told you everything I could, man. I was just angry; there was no one that talked to me about attacking you or anything like that! I thought the other students were going to back me up, but they didn’t!”

The large cut on the student’s chest was pulsating. It had healed slightly but not completely. It was something the student had never experienced before.

Cultivating would allow the body to heal naturally a bit faster even without the use of herbs or a physician, but due to the lack of food and water, the cultivating couldn’t do what it would normally do. All of the Qi that was being absorbed or used was being used as energy as a replacement for the food and water, not allowing it to do much else in the body. Which was why the wound was still present.

The student wasn’t worried about bleeding to death, but with the wound, it almost felt like his life was being zapped away, especially since he wasn’t able to eat or drink anything.

“Look, I told you, man, in our heads there are four groups in total!” The student continued to explain. He had said this before, but he had no idea if Raze was even inside the room with him or not.

At one point, he had made a break for it, standing up and trying to rush out of the door. Moments later, he felt a force push him back down on the ground. He had learned his lesson after trying it twice because the second time, the invisible force pushed him so far back, his back had crashed into the side of the wall.

“Your group and his bunch of friends we count as one group, the main disciples are the other, then we have a guy, he’s called Alfred, he seems to have rounded up a bunch of the others, they’re sticking close together.

“We were trying to join his group, just me and my two friends, at least what I thought were my two friends, because we had nothing on our own, but he wouldn’t let us in. I thought if we showed we could do something or gave him an opportunity to take you out, he would let us in.

“You’ve figured this crap out yourself as well, haven’t you! They’ve put us in here to pit us against each other. The main disciples with their combined power is impossible to take out.

“You and your group, you guys just didn’t seem to be as tightly knit of a group. With a push here and there, we thought we could break you up and take you one by one!”

Raze was currently in the room, and he had heard it all, but it was clear to him that someone was coming to frame him, and if that was the case, then they would love to get one more person, not just one to pin Raze’s murder on.

Even though the others might have formed a group, perhaps their visions didn’t align and felt it was too risky to attack Raze, the one that had been deemed the White Dragon.

Immediately, the sound of footsteps was heard, and it seemed like quite a few of them were together as well.

“Hey, it really is pitch black in here, are you sure we should head in there?” A voice whispered to the other.

“If we can’t see him, then I’m sure he can’t see us as well, but we just need a little bit of light,” the person talking, the student who had been trapped by Raze, could recognize it; this was Alfred, the leader of the other group.

He pulled something out of his pocket; it was a small glowing light, a chip from the wall of the other room. He had taken his time to break a part of it off and was now going to use it right here in this room.

Pulling it out of his pocket, he held it up, trying to see the area in front of him, and right then, he heard nothing but felt a slight pain in his hand. Right in front of him, he could see the glowing light dropping to the floor.

‘What… I didn’t let go of the rock?’ Alfred thought, looking at the ground, and he could see due to the light of the rock that he indeed hadn’t let go of it, but then why was it on the floor, and he was looking at it.

The realization took a while to hit him, as he felt a warmth around part of his arm. When looking in front of him, he could see that a clean cut had been made.

“I don’t take too kindly to those that try to kill me,” Raze claimed.

He was using the wind-enchanted blade, giving it a silent sound, and before Alfred could act at all, the sword was slashed right against his neck. Blood splattered onto the other two that were close to him.

The body quickly fell to the floor, and the leader that had been orchestrating this attack, the attack on Safa, along with the others, was now dead, lying on the ground.

The other two, seeing the fate of their friend, had turned around, but before they knew it, they could hear movement and feel a gust of wind, and Raze was now behind them.

“I just need to test something, so try your best to get out of this!” Holding his sword, Qi started to swirl around it.

The other student was doing as Raze said, but not out of choice. He attempted to run away, and Raze swung his sword out, the contraction of Qi around his sword looked as if it was almost reaching out to the student.

‘Shadow Bind formation.’

The Qi swirled around, almost as if it was an extension for the sword, and wrapped around the student. It felt like the student was trapped in invisible vines. The feeling was unnatural. It didn’t feel like an attack of sorts, yet it was difficult to break free.

The student, using their own Qi, was able to break one of these strands, but he was still trapped, and before he could do anything, a sword pierced right through his back and through his chest.

“I am saving you from a cruel fate. You will die quickly this way and will not have to suffer from starvation. For trying to kill me, this is more than acceptable.” Raze pulled out the blade, and the body dropped on the ground.

Without realizing it, the third student that had come to attack him was running toward him. He thought he was running to the exit, but in truth, he was just running blindly.

“The push of the wind,” Raze said, lifting his hand.

Using magic in a place like this was fine because no one would be able to see. The student was lifted off his feet and pushed right to the back, crashing into the wall now by the side of the other.

“Now we need to find out who really started all of this. I can’t believe that you would be so stupid. Most likely you guys were tricked, and you don’t even realize it yourself,” Raze said. “So I’m going to get some answers.”

Just then, the sound of running down the hallway was heard again, and it sounded like multiple people. Turning around, he thought he might have met the ones responsible for all of this, that was until he heard a voice shouting.

“Raze!… Raze… are you okay?” The voice shouted, but oddly it was a voice he had never heard before.
