I Became The Mafia Boss Inside The Novel-Chapter 54 Academy Examination (1)

While Elias and the rest were slowly approaching the inner circle, the other participants on the island were also progressing.

Somewhere in the outer circle, a large hulking man with broad shoulders and long white hair was setting up a fire.

Surrounding the herculean, the forest area was half destroyed. The trees were broken apart while the ground showed signs of fracture.

In the middle of the destruction, the white-haired man was sitting on top of the corpse of a massive man-devouring snake, using it as a stool.

If anyone saw this sight, they would be speechless. The massive snake was a well known mutated monster.

It was a beast emperor—the serpentine death!

"It's been a while since I tasted snake meat!"

Ragna Newgate laughed loudly. He was overflowing with boundless strength from his large physique alone.

Totems, or symbols, could be seen dancing around his bloodied and messy body. It was an extraordinary sight.

At this moment, Ragna rubbed his chin in contemplation.

"Tomorrow, I'll set off. My senses are tingling. I can sense that a great foe awaits…!"

While saying that, he looked at the direction towards the inner circle, his lips subconsciously curled into a wide smile before he laughed loudly.

"Hahahahaha! This is definitely more exciting than living in the damn mountains with that old geezer!"

In another place.

The willow leaves slowly fell to the ground while the wind was ominous and silent, giving off a chilling atmosphere at night.

All over the surroundings, fresh blood was splattered on the wooden trees while bodies of various different mutated monsters were laying around.

Each of these mutated monsters were beast kings.

Extraordinarily, the beast kings were not dead yet, they were still alive with severe bullet wounds that rendered them crippled.

From their injuries and wounds, it could be inferred that whoever did this to them didn't want to kill them at all… but rather to make them suffer and slowly die.

It was cruelty, but in another angle, outstanding knowledge of the monsters and terrifying marksmanship skills.

The culprit?

On the sea of bloodied corpses, a young woman with short blue hair and beady dark pupils stood with a bored expression.

She was wearing an all-black suit while her right eye was covered with an eye patch, her face had a smear of fresh blood.

While holding two guns, she stood with nonchalance and indifference. Upon closer inspection, the young woman was wearing a small smile.

"This academy is really interesting. I wonder if I can kill other people in the island?"

Zyrish Fallen wondered with an interested expression on her face.

"The higher ups explicitly told me not to but... those old geezers would be fools if they think I would listen to them. Regardless ,I'll fully enjoy my time here. The higher ups don't let me out of that place at all... I'm quite excited."

In another place.

In a large sparkling pond, a young woman could be seen sticking her feet inside the water, carefreely enjoying herself. 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝙤𝙢

If a person were to see her, they would be stunned and speechless from her otherworldly appearance.

A masterpiece of God—the young woman was that beautiful.

She had natural soft blonde hair, brightly shining in the night. Her hair cascaded downwards while a white flower ornament was attached on top, fitting for her elegant visage.

Her embroiled, royal outfit accentuated her graceful and beautiful demeanour, whilst her gentle and kind face made her appear otherworldly.

Elizabeth Soest, the third princess of the Truensoest Empire.

"I wish I could stay like this forever, don't you think so too… Vylix?"

After saying that, a bright blue light suddenly came out of the pond and circled around her. The blue light seemingly nodded with excitement.

"Hehe, but that's impossible. I can't do that… besides, don't you want to experience the academy first?"

Elizabeth smiled. The blue spirit paused for a moment before going up to down, as though agreeing with a nod.

"Miss. Catarina told me that we should treasure our experience in this academy. That's why… I'm quite excited about what's ahead."

Under the night, bright shining orbs floated around the young woman, they seem to possess sentience, circling around her figure.

It appeared as though Elizabeth was blessed by the world itself.

In another place.

Over a place full of blazing flames, a young woman with bright orange hair was panicking in a humorous manner.

"Oh no…! I-I got carried away and used too much power… if master hears about this, she's going to kill me…"

Thinking of the mere possibility, Roshia Entelech couldn't help but shiver. She gazed towards the corpse of a massive beast emperor.

"Tsk! It's because this dumb beast surprised me..!"

Roshia sighed before shaking her head. It was best to remove the fire before it quickly got out of hand and suddenly spread.

Earlier, she was half curious and half panicking on why the flames were not spreading too much, instead only got weaker.

It turns out there was a hidden involvement of an archmage, making the artificial island be safe from too much harm and destruction.

However, even with her immense talent, she couldn't figure out what the archmage did to this island.

'As expected of the famous arcane academy… no wonder teacher instructed me to go here to broaden my horizons...'

'Maybe I can even learn the secret of being an archmage in this academy...and then, then...!'

Then, she suddenly realized that she was, once again, distracted by her thoughts. The flames were growing stronger and stronger.

Roshia coughed in embarrassment. She concentrated before muttering under her breath, then a three-circle symbol appeared on her mind.

[Modified Flood]—!

At that moment, blue sparkling water suddenly erupted above her head. The water descended like a heavy storm, overflowing the surroundings of flood.

"Oh wa—!"

Then, Roshia realized—she was going to get drenched as well, she didn't manage to control the casting direction. However, she was unable to stop the spell in time.

Woosh!

"NOOOOOOOOOO!"

Meanwhile, somewhere in the inner circle, a rupture in space slowly appeared. It was eight feet tall, containing purplish void and profound mystery.

While the space slowly fractured, a scarlet deep red arm slowly extended towards reality, causing the air to change terrifyingly.

After a while, an eight-foot tall dark red humanoid monster appeared in front of the rupture in space and levitated slightly.

Garuda, the Baron of Pride.

"It's been a while since I got out of my castle… I wonder why their majesties suddenly issued me a mission? It's quite puzzling."

"In any case, I cannot defy their orders, even if it means death…"

Thinking of that, Garuda restrained his aura and slowly transformed into an ordinary human. It was better and safer this way.

Then, he vanished in the darkness.
