"Pure Blindness!"

That was the Spell that Lucielle cast specifically on the Dragon Commander, causing him to stumble back while attempting to teleport.

Adonis took this chance to slash him partially on his stomach before he was finally able to disappear.

At the same time, the portal generated from Adonis' cube opened wide for the students to pass throughof course, carrying Brutus along with them.

The moment they all saw the multicolored layer of space open up before them, they all rushed towards it.

Since it was directly in front of them, it wasn't a difficult thing to do.

All they had to do was run in and they would be free.

However

~BZZZTTTZZZZ!~

It was not as easy as that.

"Kyaaaaaa!!!"

The students were sent hurtling back the moment they tried to get into the portal.

The pressure alone was enough to send them flying over fifty meters from the buzzing portal.

The once-multicolored opening in space was now a different colorpurpleand it had an unknown buzz about it.

It almost felt like an electrifying glitch.

"Hahahaha!"

The wild cackle that came from above made it clear to everyone who the perpetrator was.

The Dragon Commander, now floating in majesty above the confused and scared bunch, seemed to be in pure glee despite the slash mark that was embedded in his stomach.

It was no bother for him though, as the wound would soon close.

"You fools! You really thought you could escape using a wormhole through space?" His voice was tinged in amusement.

He laughed with genuine fervor, as if he could not believe the stupidity of the humans beneath his sight.

"My main thing is manipulating space! How did you even think you could get away using something that's my specialty?!"

It didn't matter whether he was distracted or not; the Dragon Commander could always sense a warp in space since that was connected to his S-Tier [Absolute Spatial Magic].

He could also control the warps in space from his area of influencewhich meant he could cause the event-horizon to be too unstable for anyone to pass through.

"Closing it is a different matter entirely, since it's a two-way portal, and the other end is outside my range, but I could just prevent any of you from going in!"

As the Dragon said all of these things, the message was clear to everyone who heard.

There was no way to escape him!

"Pathetic! You're all so pathetic!"

He could see the despair written on their faces, and he reveled in it.

When was the last time he got the chance to mess with humans like this? It had been so long that the Dragon Commander soon forgot the humiliation he suffered not too long ago.

Instead, he drowned in his superiority.

"You fools remind me of that other Knight and his followers. I ended up killing the rest very quickly, but I brought him hereto this Floorbecause I wanted to see what he could do."

The wide grin of the Dragon widened to the extreme as he spoke.

"He tried his bestfighting a pointless battle he could never win."

The only reason Brutus was spared was because he was the only source of entertainment for the Dragon.

His work was pretty tedious and boring, so having a human performer constantly struggle gave him enough satisfaction and motivation to do his job.

There was nothing more satisfying than watching weaklings try to act strong.

It was just too amusing!

"What do you want exactly? Just let us go!" One of the five students yelled out, tears in her eyes.

Her eyes glowed pink, and he could feel his vision slowly get blurry.

But that soon passed in a second.

"Did you, a mere human, try to use Mind Control on me?" The Dragon Commander asked her.

The girl's audacity didn't amuse him.

Instead, it felt insultingtoo insulting for him to withstand.

"I'll be killing you first." He growled.

The moment he said this, the girl squeaked and fell to the ground. Her knees gave out, and she trembled endlessly.

Tears streamed down her eyes as she shivered in downright fear.

Her final card had been rendered ineffective.

She was doomed.

"Don't cry, Belle." A voice suddenly echoed in the depths of her despondency.

It came from none other than the HeroAdonis.

He had his glorious sword in hand, and his hair danced with the flowing wind.

"I'll make sure to get youno, all of usout of here."

As he said this, another round of laughter echoed from the Dragon Commander.

"And how exactly do you plan to do that? You're trapped! You're weakening! Even though you brought some supplies of potions, they'll soon run out!"

He simply stated facts, spitting it in their faces.

"As for me, I'm perfectly fine!"

Spatial Magic took up a lot of Manaeven for Dragons.

However, since Dragons naturally had a way to recover Mana, it didn't really matter how long he could go on for.

The Dragon Commander could just alternate between simple and complex Spells depending on the Level of his Mana at the moment.

Either way, a single strike from him was lethal.

None of his enemies could withstand it.

To prove that to them, the Dragon Commander stretched out both of his hands and used the very first attack he ever did.

Spatial Collapse.

~VWUUUUUMMM!!~

This time, however, the force was far more than before.

All the teenagers before him fell to their knees, feeling their bodies press on the ground as their bones grated with one another.

The only reason they weren't yet smush was thanks to the Hero's ability to distort space with his sword, but even that was not enough.

Sooner or later, they would be nothing but splatters of paste.

All of themwithout exceptionstruggled on the ground under his power.

The Dragon Commander knew it within himself that the end had arrived.

And a Dragon's intuition was never wrong.

Then

~SHUU~

A figure suddenly appeared out of the purple portal, shattering the unstable layer of energy that corrupted it.

"H-huh?!"

The Dragon Commander was confused as he looked away from his adversaries and stared at the one who had just arrived.

He was coated in a hooded cloak, dressed like an agent of the night.

Red fur decorated his mostly black attire, and he had an obsidian mask on that hid his facesave his eyes.

What appeared like horns poked out of the hoodie that covered his masked face, and his inner attire was a buttoned black shirt and black trousers, girded by a dark brown belt.

Everything about him appeared strange and mysterious, and the air around him seemed to radiate sheer, unquestionable power.

"Hey" The figure finally spoke, revealing his deep voice.

The air seemed to tremble as he spoke.

Even the seemingly invincible Dragon Commander found his body shaking a little as he heard the sound.

Something about this existence bothered himalmost as if he shouldn't exist.

All the Dragon's intuition told him that the man beneath was dangerous.

Then, the next words of the man arrived, forever altering the current tides.

" Are you the enemy?"
