Transmigrated into a villain, I personally tore apart the shackles of fate.

Chapter 99 Monster Rampage

boom!

Just as the group continued to move forward, they suddenly heard an explosion and screams from all around.

"It seems we've arrived in the BOSS's territory."

Byron said in a low voice, feeling the vibration beneath his feet. White smoke rose from the source of the vibration, and even through the smoke, the sounds of collisions could still be heard.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

This is a voice that everyone is very familiar with.

That was the sound of swords clashing, meaning a battle was approaching.

Just as the team was about to discuss their next move, Irina revealed a smug smile, changing her previously furrowed brows to her usual expression.

"Finally, I can vent my anger."

boom!

With those words, she immediately unleashed a deafening roar. Using the force of the explosion, Irina shot towards the BOSS's location like a rocket, soaring through the air as if she were a bird.

However, to those watching this scene, she didn't look like a bird, but rather like a missile launched from a weaponry from a nation before the age of magic.

Byron's eyes widened as he cried out, "Irina, this is too reckless!" But Irina had already vanished into the distance, her flames propelling her into the heart of the battle. "I should have expected this when I saw that smile on her face," he sighed, bracing himself for battle.

"She's not exactly a strategist, is she?" Leon looked at the flames in the sky, his eyes filled with awe and a hint of jealousy.

Nora was both surprised and a little worried. "Well, she's definitely going to make a grand entrance."

As the team members were talking to themselves, George and Jack started running in the direction Irina had flown off to.

"Stop wasting time. Even if she is Irina Phoenix, we can't be sure what will happen."

"Correct."

Byron agreed, and the rest of the team immediately began running towards the source of the sound. Everyone was exhausted from the continuous fighting and wanted to end the exploration as soon as possible.

As Irina flew away alone, the magic circle that provided warmth to the group also left, making them more eager to fight monsters than ever before.

While everyone else ran toward the battleground, Morse stayed behind.

"This feeling is not normal."

Morse muttered to himself, sensing something that shouldn't be there.

"A murderous aura."

He had been exploring dungeons and fighting monsters. By comparing the monsters in these artificial dungeons with those in real ones, he had come to realize the difference between real monsters and these artificial ones.

This is one of the reasons why he didn't care too much about this exploration, because real-world experience is the most useful.

The academy is aware of this; these practical courses are simply to lay the foundation for future real-world exploration.

When Morse sensed the murderous aura permeating the air, he immediately understood its source and the reason behind it all.

"The BOSS monster must also have been influenced by the demon cultists."

If so, it means that demon cultists are taking action, just like in the game.

However, there was one difference this time. That was which students took which path and which teams were assigned to face the monsters.

In this game with multiple options, it's difficult to determine which team is fighting the monster ahead based solely on in-game knowledge.

'Since things are proceeding as usual, nothing unexpected should have happened.'

In the game, Irina emerged unscathed from this incident, leading Morse to speculate that the same would happen this time.

'However, it's always best to be cautious.'

With this in mind, he gathered his thoughts and began running towards the area where the tremors were occurring.

......

boom!

When the explosion erupted where the boss was, the team members realized it was Irina's attack. Only she could create such a massive explosion right before their eyes.

"Hurry up." Although Byron knew Irina was reckless, he also wanted to contribute his strength in the battle to improve his performance and make a good impression on Irina.

He hadn't had many opportunities to showcase himself before, which made him increasingly anxious.

After all, he didn't know when he would have such an opportunity again.

Roar! Boom!

But just as the team was about to reach the monster's location, another explosion suddenly occurred. This time, instead of flames, snow mist rose up, followed by a violent tremor.

Whoosh!

Before their eyes, Irina flew out of the rising smoke, blood streaming from her nose.

"what?"

Everyone was stunned by the unexpected scene. They had initially assumed Irina had orchestrated the attack, but it turned out she hadn't.

"Roar!"

As the monster's roar reached their ears, they immediately understood what had happened.

“I’ll take care of her. The other team seems to need help. You guys go and help them fight the BOSS.”

Byron immediately assessed the situation and began flying towards where Irina had gone. He knew that gaining Irina's favor would be beneficial for the future, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Irina appeared to have lost consciousness, a rare moment indeed.

"it is good."

The others didn't object; they all nodded and started running towards the BOSS, intending to help the other team and improve their score.

"Hehehe...a bunch of idiots."

Byron muttered to himself, immediately understanding their thoughts.

“That’s why you can’t make progress in society. Sometimes, giving up short-term gains to please someone is the best choice.” He continued running towards where Irina had flown with a smug smile.

But in this world, things never go according to one person's wishes.

Byron was about to experience this firsthand.

"Awoo..."

The pack of wolves they had encountered earlier stood before him.

"Tsk."

Seeing this, Byron couldn't help but feel annoyed. He had wanted to stand by Irina's side when she needed help, but these damned wolves were blocking his way.

'If it were Irina, she could burn them to ashes with a wave of her hand.'

But unlike others, Byron didn't focus on studying; he preferred to train his physical abilities, so he was unaware of the capabilities of the monsters before him.

'Snow wolves and all that... you guys are really in the way.'

Whoosh!

Byron, arrogant and underestimating the snow wolves, drew his sword with disdain.

He thought that with the way Irina had easily defeated them before, he could easily deal with them as well.

“Get ready to be amazed by my power,” he provocatively said, striking a heroic pose.

"Awoo..."

Whoosh!

However, these wolves had their own coordination. They pounced on him with agility and precision, much to Byron's surprise. Their behavior was completely different from the wolves he had encountered on his first encounter.

"what?"

Whoosh!

Sensing the wolf pack's astonishing speed, Byron panicked and hastily drew his sword.

"what……"

Whoosh! Snap!

The first wolf dodged his attack and then bit his arm, splattering blood.

"what!"

He frowned in pain and hurriedly tried to shake the wolf off.

"Let me go, you damn dog!"

Before he could regain his composure, another wolf pounced, its claws slicing across his chest.

"Awoo!"

boom!

The blow sent him staggering backward, completely shattering his bravado.

'What are these? Why are they so fast and so strong?'

He couldn't understand why they were so much faster and stronger than expected.

He struggled to keep his footing, trying his best to withstand the relentless attacks.

"No, this can't be!" he cried, feeling excruciating pain all over his body. He tried to shout to dispel the pain, but he knew it was impossible. The biting wind and swirling snow were also ravaging him.

"Ahhh!"

Upon witnessing this scene, he activated a skill he had been hiding as a last resort.

【strengthen】

This is a skill that can enhance physical strength in a short period of time.

Whoosh! Bang!

As his body began to glow, he immediately repelled the monsters, sending them flying.

However, the battle was not over.

"Awoo..."

A third wolf began circling him, searching for an opening. Byron, still reeling from the previous blows, tried to protect himself.

However, the wolves coordinated perfectly and attacked without hesitation. They launched a series of attacks, tearing at him with their bites and claws.

Even with his power-enhancing abilities, Byron still managed to create the worst-case scenario for a hunter.

Losing composure.

As the situation grew increasingly desperate, fear began to grip him. He was unaware that he was already affected by the murderous aura emanating from these monsters, becoming even more hopeless.

Clang! Clang!

"Don't come any closer, you bastard!"

In panic and humiliation, Byron fought desperately, but he was powerless. Although he fought back against the monsters, none of them were seriously injured.

Even when the monsters are wounded and bleeding, they act like frenzied madmen, ignoring their own lives and continuing their attack.

His bluff turned into despair. The wolf pack grew stronger, biting, scratching, and tearing at him. Their furious attacks weakened him more and more.

Now, he had even forgotten why he was there. In a mere minute, he had gone from an academy student to a casually hunted prey, fighting desperately to survive.

"Is anyone there?! Help!" he shouted, only now realizing that his arrogance had been a mistake. He looked around, trying to find the others in the group.

But the team members were already far ahead, focused on the battle with the yeti.

"Awoo..."

Whoosh!

The monsters, their eyes gleaming with crimson light, did not wait for his desperate cries for help; instead, they launched an attack.

"Stop! Don't come any closer! I surrender! I surrender!"

As the attack continued, Byron's vision blurred with pain and exhaustion. He could feel his strength waning, and his struggles growing increasingly feeble.

He kept repeating the same words, remembering that if they encountered an insurmountable monster, they could call for help and drop out of the exam. But nothing had happened.

"How could this happen... Why did this happen? Shouldn't the academy be protecting us?"

Whoosh!

Just as he was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly saw a string of arrows flying towards him.

"Tsk... So you're destined to be a supporting character."

Before he lost consciousness, the last thing he heard was a dissatisfied voice.
