Talentless Extra Of The Legendary Hero Academy-Chapter 91: Turn hunt

There are lots of tree monsters, but Serena took care of all of them without issues. Just as Ethan pointed out, it was as if she was a machine as she cleared the way, one swing of her three swords at a time.

Eventually, the tree monsters stopped coming, either because they had learned or the bodies of the other monsters had piled too much around them.

The dark cloak did not have time to disturb them in the chaos that followed either, giving Julius the time he needed to sleep.

Severin also used the time to plan.

At the moment, there should not be any main event that should happen around him. The main character should basically get a break until his second year.

But one thing that had been stuck in Severin’s mind started to surface.

Almost everything that happens to him should be affecting the main protagonist of the book, Lucas Dawn. He should have been the main target of the Scar, but now it was Severin.

How will the world react to that?

Will a forceful event be forced upon the main character’s head?

Since he had dealt a major blow to the Scar, and they should not bother him for some time, Severin had decided to use the time for his growth.

And not only his, he must find a way to expand on his pawns.

The first step, though, was making the House official by building it.

Then the hot question.

How does one prepare for an apocalypse that killed the strongest in the world?

"What are you thinking about?" Julius asked suddenly, his eyes on Severin.

They were sitting on a tree stump while they watched Serena work. The number of tree monsters still attacking had gone down drastically.

Severin looked at him and decided to answer his question truthfully. "I want to get more powerful. Really powerful."

Julius blinked. He had not actually expected him to answer, and it took a time for him to formulate an answer. "My father always says that if you want to get stronger, then you should submit yourself to a system that is designed to do so and see it to the end."

"You mean the Academy," Severin said.

Julius nodded. "If you can finish here, then it means you are powerful. But I guess that is not the type of power you want."

Severin raised his brows without saying anything.

Julius just shrugged. "The type of power you want is the type you challenge. You are always challenging powers that will kill you, that should have killed you.

"And yet, you remain unscathed."

"Only because I have prior knowledge, but now? Things are going to be more brutal and sharply unpredictable."

"Why do you want power that much anyway? I want it to prove something to my family, but you? I cannot figure it out," Julius said as he looked at him curiously.

Severin shifted. "In a society that has been built on the yoke of power, it determines your place in it. Why do you ask what I want power for in such a society?"

Julius hesitated.

The others were listening as well, even though they pretended not to.

"If you are too greedy for power..."

Severin cut him off. "Can there ever be anything like that? In the world, there must be someone stronger than everyone else. It is not greed. It is just how things are."

In the book, Lucas Dawn became that person, the strongest person in the world, and he had the right, by might, to decide the fate of billions of people.

And at first, before the total destruction of humanity, Lucas became an umbrella for the world, but not everyone fell under his shade.

Severin wanted the power to decide his own fate and to survive the said fate.

Eventually, the tree monsters stopped entirely, and Serena killed the last one. The air was filled with the heavy smell of herbs and iron, the blood of the tree monsters.

"Good job, Serena," Severin praised.

She grinned. "I saw a huge improvement in reducing my construct to the smallest functionality. My speed, my reaction, and my weight increased."

Severin nodded. "Just as expected."

He turned to the others. "We will wait for her to rest, and then we will continue using the rest of the daylight. By night, though, we will begin our attacks on the dark cloak."

"Why did we not just attack them yesterday night?" Celia asked.

Severin pointed to the corpses around them. "I needed them provoked so that I could get all these monsters. Tonight, we will deal with the annoying bastards."

Julius groaned and massaged his head.

They were not the only ones who planned on attacking that day. freewebnøvel.com

The dark cloaks turned even more aggressive as the day went by, so much so that Julius was sweating hard, and the veins on his head pressed tightly against his skin.

So Severin made sure they ate as they walked because there would not be much time for eating that night. He also made them stop and make camp just before night so they could use the last light to see where they would be taking their stand.

"What are those?" Derrick asked as he collected the scroll that Severin gave to him.

"It is an equipment that gives light once you tear it, an intense kind of light unlike the one we are using now. It is very expensive."

Already, they had driven their light rod into the ground, just as they did the night before. The light brightened their surroundings, but what surrounded them was a wall of darkness on all sides.

The walls covered them like a box.

"This is definitely stronger than yesterday," Ethan muttered, his hammer resting against him.

Severin agreed.

Even their light seemed to be going out as well, as if it could not withstand the force of the dark cloak. Just how many of them are out there?

Severin nodded and then he raised his own light scroll. "Let us begin. There is no strategy. Protect Julius and kill as many of them as you can. They are practically low animals without their mental powers."
