Hell's Academy

Chapter 193: The Day After Death

Five hours later, the battle between the Horned, Varlen, and Aresoul had mostly ended.

The Archelon Zombies fell apart after Necrolith was defeated, and with no one to command them they began scattering in other directions.

Niverlith, the Night Lord that was supposed to support Necrolith and Gorgolith had no choice but to order his troops back.

With less than a thousand casualties, the Varlen, Aresoul, and Horned Warriors couldn't help but bask in the joy of winning the battle! They'd imagined a sea of blood, but hardly any of their warriors had died! Even the White Mist Warriors that had come had only lost a handful of soldiers. It was truly a miny miracle! 

"Hmph, I guess I'll be taking Nellon home now," Kreal smiled at Reslan who had his large ax placed over his shoulder. His dark braids trembled from the wind while he smiled and accepted his handshake. "You-you guys. Maybe in the future, being allies wouldn't be such a bad idea."

"I agree, Reslan patted Kreal on the shoulder. "I see good things in your future Kreal. Maybe you can tell the Exland Empire to work with a new nation. After all, we did steal the Ki Reservoir from you. They might understand if you stop working with them."

"Hmph, pathetic. Work with the Horned?" Kreal laughed and shook his head. "I'd rather die, but against the Night Lords, we can be allies any time! Anyways, goodbyes are such sweet sorrows, but I really must leave! Tell that brat, Howard, he's welcome to visit me any time. Hmph, Nellon would love a rematch with him someday."

"Sure," Reslan nodded his head and turned around. He held up his hand with a large smile on his face and burst into laughter. "We-we did it!"

"YAAHHH!" All the White Mist Warriors screamed in joy while a few Horned students clapped. They all smiled and looked out at the sea of bodies before they turned around. Now, now it was time to get back to regular life.

Reslan smiled and decided to turn and look in Kreal's direction before suddenly he felt a faint sensation in the air. Something didn't make sense. He sensed Founder Arista's Ki, but she was no where in the area.

"Could I be going insane?" Reslan watched Kreal jump in the wagon to check on Nellon. "How could she be here? What's going on?"

"Reslan, stop worrying so much," Annibell grabbed his elbow and locked her with him. The large couple, standing heads all the over students, smiled and began walking back to the East Branch. "There's nothing but good things coming for you tonight," Annibell said with a smile on her face. "Hmmm, such a handsome man. How long has it been since I kissed you goodnight?"

"Did you forgive me? Finally!" Reslan laughed merrily. "Haha! I can't wait! I designed us the best bedroom a woman could ask for! You'll be so happy! I-I promise I won't screw up again! Promise!"

"Guys, I'm worried," Monica said, pointing over at Kreal. "Something is wrong. Tell that man, tell that man to come here right now! I can sense something terrifying! Have him come back!"

"Woah! Calm down!" Reslan sighed and pushed Monica forward. "Geez, you're going to wake Howard. He worked hard for today."

"I'll do it myself!" Monica stomped her feet and screamed, "Hey, Kreal! Come back here right now! I forgot to give you something?!"

"Shut up! I'm finally seeing my student! My prized student again!" Kreal replied. "What is it? What could you possibly want from me?"

Kreal smiled and jumped out of the wagon after checking Nellon's pulse. He looked over at Monica and sighed before looking back at Nellon one last time. He should be fine. He checked his vitals, and also his Magical doorways and his meridians. Everything about him seemed normal. In fact, he almost seemed perfectly back to health.

'They really did a number to restore him to full health,' Kreal smiled and took a single step forward. 'So glad the boys back with us. How long has it been? How long has it been since I've been with my illegitimate son! God, I wish I could tell him, but I can't! Hah, that I snuck up to the surface and fell in love with some girl that used to be part of the Macralan! I'd rather die, hahaha!"

Kreal took a second step forward and looked back before suddenly something strange seemed to happen. He looked through the curtain in the wagon and noticed it started to glow. 

"Nellon? Are you waking up?!" Kreal ran towards the wagon while Monica did her best to summon an ice wall to block him. "Nellon, Father is here! Father is here!"

Boom!

A large mountain of flesh shot into the air from the wagon while Monica screamed "No!" All the Aresoul soldiers that had been smiling and talking with their friends looked over in shock while an explosion full of blood shot into the air.

A few body parts rained down while Monica fell down on her knees! She didn't know if she made it in time! She barely had time to erect the barrier!

"Horned students, get behind me!" Annibell screamed before a powerful surge of Ki surrounded her body. "Reslan, what just happened? What the hell just happened?"

"Founder Arista She-she did something to him! I-I don't know how else to explain it." Reslan waved over the White Mist Warriors as they stood their in shock. "I don't know what the hell she did, but this must be some type of mistake! Everyone, calm down! This is all a mistake!"

"Kill them!" An Aresoul general screamed before an extremely terrifying S rank power swept out of his body. "Kill them all! Don't let a single one of them leave alive! Varlen, are you with us? Did you see that? Did you see how they just killed an innocent man!"

"Hold on! Before you attack," A Varlen general screamd, "Before you attack, let's at least ask questions! Did you see their faces? They're clearly shocked too! They clearly didn't mean for this to happen!"

"Hmph, then just get out of the way," The Aresoul Warriors all summoned their magic doors while the last body part dropped onto the ground. Nellons head, which had once been the pride of the Aresoul, rolled in front of Annibell, with his eyes open. "Everyone, even if we die here today, we must kill Howard! Do you hear me? For Nellon, kill that sleeping boy on Annibells' back."

"No, why? Why would she do that! Why?" Monica broke down into tears. "We-we almost had peace! We were almost free."

"Don't blame anyone yet," Annibell tapped Monica on the shoulder. "Now, do me a favor, take Howard back to the East Branch and see if you can contact Founder Carter. Can you do that for me?"

"But-but what about you guys? There's too many of them! I'm not leaving you here!"

"It's time for the next generation to shine!" Annibell's body sparkled with lightning while tears formed in her eyes. "Now go! Go, and once we take care of them, we'll come find you!"

"I-I'm not just leaving you two here!" Monica felt Priscilla grabbing her hand. What the hell? How could this girl be so resolute?! "You-you two are the only teachers I ever had who cared about me! Please-please don't do this!" 

"Kid, you're the teacher now," Annibell smiled before a large amount of lightning gathered around her body. "Even in my best dreams, I never imagined having such a beautiful student. When Howard wakes up, tell him to search for us, okay? However, only him. You guys aren't strong enough yet."

"Let's go!" Priscilla pulled Monica by the wrist as tears dropped down her eyes. "You did enough! Now hurry! We're going to get surrounded!"

"See you," Annibell smiled and took a step forward. "Hmph, two things can happen. One, I breakthrough to the SS rank, or me and you die Reslan. You with me?"

"I'm always with you," Reslan smiled. "Even the day after I die."
