Heaven's Greatest Professor

Warped Ways were somewhat of a natural manifestation, though it was only possible of spatial tears. It was just a very unstable version of Warp Gate, which formed under some unfortunate and unexpected circumstances.

There were dozens of them in the rift, which made it quite hard for one to judge how huge the whole place was, as there could be more of those warped ways undiscovered in the desolate land.

The main camp was actually founded surrounding one such warped way. After spending a great deal of resources, the arcane society managed to keep it under control. However, the one they were creeping towards was far from being under control. Experience the best from m-vl _emp _yr.

Hundreds of demonic creatures littered the space surroundings the warped ways, and probably more on the other side of it. The army had tried to domesticate this one to their benefit a few times previously, but that didn't bore fruits.

For one thing, this warped way was smaller in size and deeper into the desolate lands, for another no matter how many soldiers they spared they could never get rid of the demonic beasts from spawning here.

So, they mostly used this as a vantage point, or rather a shortcut if they had to traverse to the next fold into the rift.

"Crap," Caleb cursed the very moment they heard hundreds of creatures roaring after a few of them sensed their presence. Agnes's cover of darkness served them well throughout the way; however, the integrity of Stealth skill didn't fare well under the influence of warped space.

"Milia, stay close to brother," Milton urged his sister. "I'll protect you."

"Oh brother!" the girl was already struck by him, locking their arms, but somehow, she still managed to cuddle deeper into him. Weirdly, that didn't trouble their movement at all.

"Onwards," Agnes demanded. "Don't fucking slow down."

Even though she said that, she was the one who slowed down. The darkness had already unfolded from their form and surrounded her in her Dark armour.

The brother-sister duo, Caleb hurried towards the Warped Way ahead of them, while Kevin had already disappeared somewhere. He was probably using his stealth to hide into the night, leaving the rest of them to deal with the creatures. Well, that was how rogue right?

Agnes was already in confrontation with the creatures, giving them some extra moments to jump into the warped way.

Warden slowed down. Thinking of helping her, he charged with [The Divider]. He flashed the elongated blade and cut through a creature when he heard the woman cursing.

"For god's sake, why can't you take orders?" she screamed at him. Dozens of demonic creatures already surrounded her. "This is not a fucking fight, fucking jump into the warped gate."

Warden gave her order a second thought and found it to be sound. As the one in charge of the mission, it was her duty to make sure of their security. Unfortunately, his instinct just didn't want to leave someone alone to face thousands of enemies.

"Fucking go, damnit!"

Warden narrowed his eyes and turned. There were no creatures on the way towards the Warped Way before, as the spatial pressure was quite terrible to rest there. However, with their appearance, there were already dozens of creatures prepared to intercept them.

The Warped way was like a glitch in reality, a hole made of dark pulsating light. It was always open like a dungeon gate, though wide like a gate to a giant's court.

The others were already contesting with the beasts on the way as they approached. Warden shot for them, his weapon flashing to get rid of the obstacle in the path.

Caleb was the slowest of them all and pressed with four creatures. Warden sent one flashing just by launching himself against it. For another, he plunged his blade. When he was to take care of the third, Caleb had already dealt with the other one.

"Move!"

The spatial pressure was palpable in the air, but they had to force their way in against the few demonic creatures. Thankfully, there was no Fiends out for their blood—

"OHHEEHHHHHHHHH"

A huge bull-like creature, which looked more like a cross between a wolf and a bull shot forward, a dangerous aura radiating from its form.

"Fuck!" cursed the brother-sister duo in unison.

"Get on," Warden said. "I'll take care of it."

While inwardly, he blamed himself for not wearing his legendary cloak. Well, no time to regret it now. Besides, he would only have to stop it for a few seconds, and Warden had exactly the right ability for that.

He bolted and positioned himself between himself and the siblings. The wolf-bull creature didn't stop, hot air rushing out of its nostrils. Warden did not move out of the way either. He had the blade in his arm, but he didn't raise it. He channelled the power of his physique.

"Warden!" Caleb screamed, running ahead of him. "Get out of the fucking way!"

"God, I knew this guy had some problem in his mind," Kevin said coming out of his shadows, though he had no way of helping Warden.

Warden ignored their worry and concentrated on his boon. He activated Absolute invulnerability.

Right at the moment, the Wolf-bull rammed into his form.

Warden did not even move an inch.

He felt like an immortal mountain, eternal in the passage of time. No matter how much force the fiend crashed into him, it couldn't even budge an inch.

Strangely, Warden too felt the heaviness. He couldn't lift his arm. No, even with all his power, he could only twitch some muscles. But he was invulnerable, if only for six immortal seconds.

Thankfully, that was enough time for them to traverse the dozens of metres of distance.

"Go fucking Jump!" Agnes shouted, finding others transfixed at Warden. She probably has noticed the impossible powers at work on here.

Everyone but Warden and Agnes were secured before his immortal six seconds expired.

He plunged the blade instantly into the head of the fiend the moment he got back his freedom of movement.
