The Max Level Hero Has Returned!

Chapter 305

The reaction was slow at first but the explosion covered a vast area. One of the particles split into two, then that two turned into four, and the four turned into eight… Gradually, the process began to speed up until all of the mana in the area was broken down.

As for Davey, he was at the center of it all.

In order for a mage to use magic, they had to gather and attract the natural mana in the surroundings. Then, they would use their own mana as a catalyst and use all of the mana to cast the magic.

With all of the mana gone, even if they broke down the barrier, Davey and Josiah would have no way to go back. However, if Davey could not even handle such a situation, then he did not deserve to be called a 9th Circle mage.

—Stop!!! If you continue with this, a chain reaction would occur! The mana will explode and get out of control!

Perserque was more worried about the horrendous aftermath than the disappearance of the mana in the area. The fact that mana was present everywhere meant that once an explosion occurred, it would create a chain reaction that would spread endlessly.

However, Davey just dismissed Perserque’s concerns.

‘What the hell? You don’t even know about this? It seems like you need to learn magic again.’

—Eeeeeeek!

Perserque yanked on Davey’s ears in anger.

Josiah, who did not understand the situation, looked at everything blankly.

Boooom!!!

Eventually, the chain reaction reached a critical point. As a huge and powerful gale blew sharply inside the barrier, Davey sped up the chain reaction more. Then, he hugged Josiah and said, “Let’s go.”

“Wh… Where to?”

“Where to? Back home, obviously. What? Do you want to live here your entire life?”

“H… How…?”

“Watch closely.”

Josiah looked at Davey with wide eyes. Speechless, she was gnawing on her lips from nervousness and slight disbelief. She could feel a huge amount of mana flow out of Davey’s quiet body. Then, a huge magic circle appeared beneath their feet with Davey at the very center.

“How… How can a magic circle…?” Josiah murmured blankly.

She was freaked out by the sudden appearance of the superimposing magic in this space, where mana had completely disintegrated and disappeared.

“Hold on tight, we’re going over.”

“What? Kyaaack!”

[8th Circle]

[Space Displacement]

Thud!!!

The mana slumbering deep in Davey’s body immediately covered the space which was devoid of mana and created a magic circle.

Josiah looked at Davey in shock. She could not believe the ridiculous sight that she was witnessing. She just saw her instructor using magic without muttering out a single chant. She yelled in shock, “A high-speed silent casting while linking magic circles?!”

Before the space was completely reversed, Davey threw out a magic circle in the air. He had prepared this magic circle in advance.

Crack… crack!!!

Then, Davey enclosed and captured the entire area once the particle division caught and disintegrated the barrier that had been set up by the Vampire Lord.

What would happen if Davey moved this space, which was being subjected to a mana particle division, that he had captured and moved it to another place?

Perserque’s eyes grew wide when she realized what Davey intended to do.

—A catastrophe… No, Davey… Don’t tell me…

Immediately after…

Boooom!!!

After the space was reversed, the scene in front of Davey and Josiah changed from the ruins of the old castle to the familiar magic academy building. Then, the mana division began to spread all throughout Shakuntala Academy.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

After watching the non-stop explosions gain speed and momentum as time went by, Davey put strength in his legs and jumped down from the air with Josiah in his arms. He relied on his physical abilities to make this jump.

Thud!!!

However, due to his poor control, he caused huge cracks to appear on the ground upon landing.

Fortunately, no one saw Davey and Josiah appear on the school grounds. In the first place, this was an old and abandoned research building. In other words, nobody was here except Rashkan Frances, who was Josiah’s uncle.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!!!

Since Shakuntala Academy was a place that was rich in mana, richer than any other place, the aftermath of the explosions had become even greater than expected.

—Are you going to get rid of all of the mana in the entire continent?!

“Not at all. I’m just going to get rid of the mana inside Shakuntala.”

Of course, that meant that all of the tools and equipment which required mana would be completely out of order and dysfunctional. This also meant that the academy would lose a lot of money.

However, this was none of Davey’s business.

“Right?”

—You just feel that it would be a pity if the explosions reach your personal private laboratory.

“If that happens, then I’ll just let you spend 24 hours with that tentacle thing that we’ve snatched from the Abyss.”

—That’s awful!

Unlike Nuclear Fission, which could split raw materials endlessly, the Mana Particle Fission had limitations. The will’s intangible power would cut off the entire space and prevent the spread of fission to protect itself. So, to not let it reach this point, there was a need to accurately calculate the formula and the rate of the spread to control the area of the explosion.

If someone had told this to another mage, they would just get laughed at and be told to stop speaking nonsense.

Josiah looked up at the sky with her red eyes and blank face. She asked, “What in the world did you do?”

“What would happen if a massive disaster happened during the Magic Festival?”

“Of course, they would stop it… Oh my goodness. Are you crazy?” Josiah asked in shock, both of her hands snapping up to cover her gaping mouth.

“Well, I don’t know. This is nothing more than a natural disaster. It would be hard to blame anyone for something like that.”

If Davey pretended to not know about this incident, would anyone be able to tell that he had been the culprit who did it?

“Go back, quickly. Those bastards’ eyes are going to pop out while waiting for you.”

The Magic Festival would be suspended as long as there was an unexpected terrorist attack. Most likely, the festival would be held once everything was over and the situation had calmed down.

Only then would Davey step forward. During such times, he had the perfect opportunity to use his connections. Just one word from Great Sage Hellison Valestia and the entire academy would scramble to let the Magic Festival start again.

Josiah looked up at the sky in silence for a moment. Then, she said, “Instructor… What the hell are you? That thing just now… That’s the large-scale Space Displacement Magic, right? I’m sure of it. I read in a book…that the 8th Circle magic only existed in theory. It’s something that could not be casted by the human brain…”

If she followed that logic, Davey would have to be higher than an 8th Circle mage.

“Don’t try to skip out on your homework like that,” Davey said calmly as he slapped Josiah on the back.

Josiah immediately stepped away from Davey and screamed, “Kyack!!! Again! This again!”

“I changed the color of your eyes. I’ll send you my blood through someone in the near future. Always keep this in mind. Never bite a person’s neck. A vampire’s awakening has stages.”

To be exact, a Vampire Lord’s awakening had stages.

“However… I have a lot of things I don’t know yet! I don’t understand. Why did I suddenly become a vampire?!”

“I will send you a letter through Central Tower’s Elder Yulis. Just send a message to me when you’re having a hard time. I’ll write some advice and send it back over.”

Josiah, who looked like she still had a lot to say, held back her words after being reassured by Davey. Despite her confusion and doubt, she nodded at Davey. “Are you leaving now?”

“I have to go already. Do you think I have the time to play house for so long?”

Perhaps Josiah had instinctively picked up on something. She suddenly asked a question that she originally would never have asked before. “Then, Instructor… Will we…be able to meet again…?”

“You’re asking if we’re going to meet again?”

“It’s just… If we separate just like that, then I think that I will never see Instructor again…”

As Davey remained silent, Josiah pleaded, “Please say something.”

In the end, Josiah burst into tears with a crumpled expression. With an ugly smile on her face, she stepped back from Davey and declared, “I will never forget the grace that you have shown me, Instructor. Although I don’t understand anything about it yet… I will put my faith in you, Instructor.”

“Right.”

“Then… I’ll see you again. No, we will see you again,” Josiah said, turning her back to Davey and running toward the direction of the Central Wing without any hesitation.

The speed at which she ran was completely incomparable to the speed that she had before, but she herself had not noticed it yet.

—You’re just going to leave a Vampire Lord be just like that? If I’m being honest, I think you’ve got this situation wrong. If that Vampire Lord properly awakens, then…the mere power that she’d have would be enough to threaten you. I’d rather you add a few more restrictions upon her…

“No. It’s better to let her go.”

—Do you think the title ‘Vampire Lord’ is nothing but mere bullshit?

“If I did not see any potential in her, I would not have let her suck my blood in the first place.”

Even if Josiah was one of his disciples, Davey could not just cover things up for her and let her go blindly like that.

“Also, we have to properly lay the groundwork for politics later on.”

Even though it may sound like Davey was being irresponsible by neglecting this point, he had judged this to be the best choice for the moment. He could not completely stop the girl’s awakening, but at the very least he had delayed the awakening and bought himself some time. That was why Davey could still take things leisurely.

—What if… What if that child goes against you in the end?

“Well, I would have no choice but to hit her with the rod of love until she gets back to her senses.”

Since Davey had helped Josiah with putting on the first button properly, then she had to do up the rest of her buttons herself.

In the first place, the position of a Vampire Lord was not reachable by anyone through experience alone. It could be said to be a position that one was born into. Of course, there were cases where an ordinary vampire had become a Lord. However, if a Vampire Lord was born, then all of them would unconditionally choose the latter instead.

Simply put, since the boy, the previous Vampire Lord, had handed over the position to Josiah, then she was fully qualified to be one. With a title that was enough to become the Lord and Monarch of an entire race, he had clearly judged that she would have enough talent to control herself even without Davey’s help.

Perserque felt strangely uncomfortable after watching Josiah’s back disappear completely from their sights. However, she didn’t have the opportunity to disappear with Davey further.

Davey had already moved away from where he stood. Looking at the quiet research building, the place that they had arrived at after crossing through space and leaving the old castle, he said, “I don’t know if he’s still alive or not.”

Davey was sure that the bastard had suffered greatly from the divine flames, but he was unsure if the man was alive or dead. He hadn’t seen him yet.

Entering the messed up research building, he saw that the man was still stuck on the wall. Fortunately, he was still alive and twitching. This man was none other than Rashkan Frances, the uncle who had molested his niece.

“Ghhhgk… Urk…” Rashkan Frances was still stuck in the wall that Davey had left him in before.

However, the state that he was in was completely disastrous. It was a miracle that the man was still alive. His skin was already cooked to a point that it was hard and dry while his eyeballs had already evaporated from the intense heat that had shrouded his body. There was not a single strand of hair left behind on his body. A strange and terrible burnt smell also wafted in the area.

Yet for some reason, he was still alive.

Rashkan was supposed to still be on fire, but the divine flames had disappeared after the large-scale mana particles had split and divided.

“Ugh… Uuuuuuuurk…”

Perserque looked coldly at Rashkan, who was groaning and moaning strangely after his vocal chords had been burnt to a crisp.

—You should have just let him get ripped into pieces.

Davey, who listened to Perserque’s murmurs, silently used his holy mana and regenerated Rashkan’s eyes.

Once his eyeballs were regenerated, Rashkan could see again. He rolled his eyeballs around until he looked right at Davey. Then, as if he saw a ghost, he tried to struggle and resist. He was desperately trying to move away despite his immovable body.

“Well, let’s get this over with.”

Davey was sure that the bastard was already losing his mind from being burned for a long period of time. However, despite having lost most of his rationality, Rashkan still could not shake off the fear that had already been imprinted in his body.

“Do you want to know why I regenerated your eyes?”

Rashkan only groaned, not showing any other signs of movement.

“I thought that you should at least see who is the one beating you to death,” Davey said calmly as he raised the remaining dark mana left in his body.

[7th Circle Dark Magic]

[Sea Devil Prison]

Crack!!!

The floor beneath Rashkan’s feet began to crack apart the moment Davey raised his dark mana. From deep within those cracks, several hideous and terrifying mouths started to appear one after the other. The mouths snapped as if they were ready to devour Rashkan at any given moment.

They were beasts from the demon world, two-dimensional demonic beasts that could be used to do errands or whatnot. They were none other than the Sea Devils.

“For your information, the Sea Devil eats their opponents alive.”

“Ugh… Ughhh… Uuuuuuuuuuughhhh!!!” Rashkan groaned and desperately tried to move away from his position. However, he could not move an inch since his muscles had all been burned into nothing.

Crunch!!! Crunch!!!

Not long after, the beasts with the hideous and terrifying mouths bit on the desperately groaning Rashkan and dragged him into the dark crack.

The man had tried to appeal to Davey and ask for his forgiveness through his desperate gaze. However, his death was already sealed the moment Davey had burned him with the divine flames.

—Are you going to leave without even sparing them a glance? Those children have prepared some gifts for you.

“Is it necessary?”

Perserque giggled.

—Still, you have a great teacher-student relationship, no?

Davey pondered deeply for a moment. Then, he lightly stretched his arms into the air.

Although he had used almost all of his mana, he could still use Message Magic, a magic that was more focused on the skill rather than the amount of mana itself. He was going to send his students a message.

Besides, once someone became a 9th Circle mage, their natural mana recovery would be leagues beyond the ordinary mage’s recovery.

Davey used the link that he had with Class F and used Message Magic. Then, with all of his affection for them as a teacher, he said…

[Have your circles all gone to sleep?]

It was very simple and efficient advice.

—Your personality is the one that’s neat.

Those were Davey’s final words as a teacher to his students.
