Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?



~Greeeeeehhh~ 

Wiggins tightened his grip on his dagger but soon found himself several feet high. 

"Field Marshall!"

"Dad!!!"

Julius was going crazy, watching the thing's ugly, rotting tongue grab his father's feet.

Dammit!

Julius fought back, using the blade in every way he could. But the creature's body regenerated after every slash with the help of the bugs swimming within.

"Take this! And this! And this! Die! Die! Die!"

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!~

Wiggins was held upside down but still lifted his body to slice the creature's tongue holding his feet. Yet his actions proved useless as the creature hovered him over its gigantic mouth.

'Is this how I die?'

Wiggins saw his life flash before his eyes as the creature readily flashed its sharpened teeth below his floating body.

"No!!"

Julius yelled desperately as he watched the creature let go of his father's feet. And Eric, who was carried by another creature, also saw his fate after seeing Wiggins get dropped. 

No! No! 

'I don't want to die without saving my little girl. Why is this happening? Is this truly our end?'

Time seemed frozen in place as many watched Wiggins fall closer and closer toward the creature's mouth. He knew it was over. But just when they felt his fate sealed, the creature suddenly released a gruesome wail.

~GREEEEEEEH

Sai… Saved?

"Hahahahaha~... Saved! Father is saved!" Julius jumped excitedly after seeing his father appear beside him. 

You have to know that even though the Grandmaster and the others for the academy were here, it was normal for anyone to think their victory was impossible. It was because they felt these people from the east were still tiny humans. 

If one saw a baby in diapers squaring off against a macho wrestler, who do you think would win? 

Logic makes them have little to no faith in Dorian, with their brains going as far as forgetting his 'magical' abilities. But after facing what they did, their little piece in their hearts was whipped out clean. That was human nature. 

One has to know that if not for this experience, they would still have reservations about Dorian's group and might have been arguing and questioning their every move going forward. But after witnessing, they became completely obedient to Dorian's group. If Dorian says go west, they go west. If he says jump, they ask how high. 

In the sky, Dorian watched Haru, Old Hou, and Endo work with Wei Gia, Jung Hou and the other academy disciples to take out the surrounding creatures.

The disciples fought hard, using their most powerful attacks.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wei Gia dodged the many spider legs aiming his way before landing a fierce blow to its underside.

"Dragon Fist of Fury!"

~Bam! Bam! Bam! 

Wei Gia landed 3 blows on the creature before jumping back before its deadly legs could pierce his back. 

~Greeeeehhh~ 

It was in agony as maggots fell from its punctured belly. 

'Not enough.'

Vmmm! 

Wei Gia vanished like smoke, appearing several inches above the creature. 

At least to the eyes of the mortal onlookers, that was how it seemed. He and the creature's movements were too fast, with many barely keeping up

Hiss!~

Elric sucked his breath, watching the many mythical battles transpire

"Sir, are they really human?"

"Wipe! How fast do you think they're going for us to only see them vanish and reappear?"

"Lying trough. So strong... His fist punch knocked an entire tree down!!!"

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I?"

~Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! 

Wei Gia's bunch force made them numb but was crueler to the opponent. 

~Greeeehhhh~ 

The creature was possessed, swinging his head and shaking its snakish hairs in wild rage.

Boom!

Wei Gia smashed 5 trees in a single row after taking a hit.

No one can survive this... That is what Wiggins and the others thought. But who can tell them why Wei Gia was back on his feet with only a few bruises and nothing more? 

Was he Superman?

Bam! Pah! Boom! Slash! Slash! Bam!!!

The battle took no more than 5 minutes. Yet, it felt like an eternity for the mortals, who were at the edge of their seats every step of the way.

You must know that they now placed their faith in these academy members. So whenever they saw these people take a hit, the color from their faces drained, but they still kept cheering them on.

"No! Watch out!"

"Behind you."

"That's it! Kick it in the chin!"

"Good Boy! That's how it's done!"

"Great! Great! Use your magician cards and prove to them that you are Gambit's brother. Xmen forever!"

"..." [Academy members]

Like so, Haru and the others had their personal cheerleading team till the end. 

"Too slow."

Dorian's words made Elric and his bunch almost miss a step. 

Hold on. Did they hear him right? Did he just say 5 minutes was too slow? 

They initially thought Dorian was joking. But soon after, backup from the monster side came swiftly and 3 times larger in number than the earlier group. But what did they see? 

Dorian only flicked a single coin in the air, and the creatures fell.

1 second. 

It only took that long to kill thrice as many. And now, everyone had a new understanding of why this young boy of 17 was called Grandmaster. 

Dorian frowned.

Too slow… These were one of the weakest ones here. At the same time, it wasn't bad. What the Was se disciples lacked was true experience. 

Wei Gia, Jung Hou, and the other disciples took on his words, knowing they could've done better. 

No arguments, no comments. 

Elric swallowed hard, now a little nervous when talking to Dorian, though he tried his best not to show it. 

"Grandmaster, where are we going? Do... Do you know where they took them?"

"Hmmm." Dorian hummed lazily while staring at one of the mountains away.

The survivors were alive, but no one had taken them away just yet… They were still in the cabin!
