Chapter 311 Commander of the Army, The Mystic [Sixth Sense], Human Warrior

"What? Delilah, you actually know this strange...person?"

Ms. Mary stared with her beautiful eyes.

"No need to apologize..." Miss Delilah didn't respond to Ms. Mary's question, carefully wiping the blood and grime from Luo Yi's face.

"I knew you'd arrive immediately; something must have held you up."

As the bloodstains were gradually wiped away, an ordinary yet clean face was revealed—a slightly immature profile, still bearing the marks of youth.

Luo Yi was indeed not yet sixteen years old. Apart from his bright eyes, which remained clear even in dim light, his features were not outstanding, even somewhat ordinary.

On ordinary days, once Luo Yi removes his hood and straw hat, shedding the veil of shadows—he's a very cute and handsome young man.

[Of course, this is only how Miss Eve and Miss Delilah see it.]

"You, is this really our classmate?"

Ms. Mary leaned slightly forward, frowning as she scrutinized Luo Yi. Her tone still carried a hint of disbelief, unable to reconcile the seemingly ordinary boy before her with the image of the "freak" who had suddenly attacked and slaughtered the wolf-headed monster.

【"Yi?!"】

Diana, who had been curled up on the ground, suddenly sat up. She blinked, carefully examining Luo Yi's face. After a moment, her tense shoulders finally relaxed. "It really is you..."

"Miss Diana, are you alright?" Feeling uncomfortable under Delilah's gaze, Luo Yi turned to Diana to inquire.

Diana stared at the unwavering young man, paused, then glanced at her boyfriend, Ruwen, who stood silently with his head down. The dark stains stood out starkly against the light-colored fabric.

She suddenly admired Eve's courage in actively pursuing Luo Yi.

She recalled the gleam in Eve's eyes when she mentioned Luo Yi, and how she herself had been hiding a mocking smile behind her lace gloves.

Because Luo Yi's status, position, and appearance were all insignificant. He was utterly unworthy of noble ladies like them, and a relationship with him wouldn't receive the family's blessing. She repeatedly tried to persuade Eve to accept reality…

And now… looking at Luo Yi’s blood-stained yet ramrod-straight back, she realized for the first time clearly: hidden within the dust they had trampled underfoot was true gold.

"It's nothing..." She released her lower lip, which had been bitten so hard, her voice as soft as a sigh.

"Oh." Luo Yi, oblivious to Diana's disappointment, didn't offer any gentlemanly comfort, but simply gave a perfunctory reply.

He noticed the slight scratches on Miss Delilah's arm, and a fleeting, cold glint flashed in the depths of his calm eyes as he glanced around at the other students. Miss Delilah was slightly startled, and grabbed Luo Yi's hand, squeezing it firmly to stop him.

"Yi? Is that the black-eyed weirdo who follows Delilah around every day... classmate!"

At the other end of the classroom, the students who had been huddled together breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Some people whispered among themselves, quietly relaxing their tense postures, and the tense atmosphere in the classroom finally eased slightly.

What was Luo Yi thinking about?

He rushed downstairs and carried his trembling girlfriend Eve back to him. Eve was running through the fog when she suddenly lost her footing and fell to the ground, but fortunately, she wasn't seriously injured.

Even "official knights" had only a three-meter field of vision in the thick, white fog.

It's really easy for ordinary people to misstep and crash into a wall.

[Luo Yi's source bloodline seems to still be working; although he lost his sight in the mist, his five senses were activated, granting him a special ability.]

[At this moment, Luo Yi walked forward with his eyes closed, his body involuntarily stopping the instant he hit the wall.]

This feeling is called—the sixth sense!

Luo Yi was no longer an ignorant youth; he knew that this ability wasn't something a "formal knight" could awaken, but rather seemed like—a divine ability!

The newly formed "source blood" has a very rudimentary effect on unlocking human potential, remaining only in the skin and flesh. The skin membranes become thicker, and strength surges. This stage is called—Black Iron Knight.

[Next, continue to strengthen the source blood. As the source blood penetrates deep into the skin and flesh, it begins to temper the bones and muscles, further enhancing the physical body. Once completed, strength and endurance will be greatly enhanced, making one inhuman. This stage is called—Silver Knight.]

[The primordial blood begins to temper the five internal organs. Tempering any internal organ will lead to transcendence, and the body will develop various divine abilities. This stage is called—Golden Knight.]

[That is, a legendary knight.]

[Besides their long lifespans, legendary knights are also said to have inherited weapons from ancient myths used to slay gods; one of them could change the course of a battle.]

There are only four legendary knights in the entire world, and the Augu Empire and the Holy Temple occupy two of those spots, which is also the source of the Augu nobles' three hundred years of pampered life.

[The sixth sense is one of the many "supernatural" abilities—a characteristic of legendary knights!]

[This is the reward Luo Yi received at the age of seven after risking his life to consume the Demon Seed, and at fifteen after condensing his Origin Blood amidst life and death!]

[Luo Yi unconsciously exuded the aura of a "top predator," and although the third floor of Suzuran High School was covered in blood, no more wolf-headed monsters dared to come and steal their prey.]

The little monsters in the shadows, baring their white fangs, followed the blood to the third floor, but the moment their eyes met Luo Yi's, they recoiled as if electrocuted into the depths of the mist.

"A rat with sharp teeth?"

Luo Yi frowned slightly, watching the small monsters disappear into the mist.

He was thinking about a problem.

[Is this still in China?]

[Lily High School is located in the heart of Beluga City… This coastal city, meticulously designed by a great artist, boasts lush, manicured greenery that covers the entire city, creating a beautiful landscape with sweet-smelling air and small animals that can be seen everywhere along the roadside.]

But there will never be these ugly rats!

[Before the fog rolled in at Suzuran High School, everything was so peaceful...]

Those wolf-headed monsters weren't that strong... The Holy Knights stationed in White Whale City were incredibly powerful. If the captain and vice-captain joined forces, they could easily raze all the monsters in the school three times over. There was no way they could have died so silently without even making a sound!

Luo Yi, with his limited knowledge, was completely unable to comprehend this bizarre event. He leaned against the corner of the wall, closed his eyes to rest and recover his energy, but subconsciously gripped the black-scaled claw blade in his hand even tighter, a growing sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

[After the situation is temporarily safe.]

Miss Eve skillfully cleaned the bloodstains off Luo Yi's body.

[She's not just a pretty face; in the months she's been dating Luo Yi, besides her love of music, she's also been practicing knightly skills with her boyfriend, though she hasn't awakened her "first blood" yet.]

Without a divinely bestowed seed, for an ordinary person to sense the blood within their body is an incredibly difficult task.

The others began to think of ways to get out.

[Through much discussion, a plan emerged—perhaps once they left the school campus, they could return to civilization!]

【Maybe?】

However, they faced a problem: none of them dared to enter the mist, because any wolf-headed monster within could wipe out the dozen or so courageless teenagers.

[Among them, the most noble of the group, the Earl's legitimate daughter "Emilia," knew that Ruben and the others were unreliable, and she would occasionally steal glances at the black-haired boy who was repairing his black-scaled claw blades.]

The people closest to the boy were Delilah and Miss Eve.

Within a meter were Diana and their teacher, Mary.

The young knight, capable of single-handedly slaying ten wolf-headed monsters, is their strongest fighter—the closer you get, the safer you are in the mist!

【Do not! 】

Emilia looked around at the thick fog, knowing full well that without the young knight's protection, she would surely die in the mist.

Just then, a non-human roar emanating from the thick fog made the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end, but even stronger than fear was a burning, possessive desire.

[We must...find a way to obtain that young knight.] [Emilia is confident; her family is at the top of the Augu Empire, close to the emperor, and can provide resources for knights far superior to that of Delilah, that unloved northern barbarian.]

[Add—]

[Her tongue slowly traced her lower lip as Emilia lowered her head to gaze at her collarbone peeking out from the neckline—her ivory skin shimmered with a pearly sheen in the dim light, and below that were meticulously maintained curves, like a work of art sculpted by a master craftsman, accentuated by her corseted gown.]

She deliberately increased the volume of her breathing, watching her full breasts rise and fall along the edge of the lace.

[For sixteen years, this set of etiquette training, personally taught by court ladies, has become ingrained in my bones—every angle is just right, neither appearing licentious nor failing to captivate men's attention.]

What does a wild girl from the North know?

Emilia's fingertips seemingly casually brushed against the side of her neck, tucking a strand of golden hair behind her ear. This gesture fully revealed her swan-like neck. The delicate powder she had carefully applied that morning still clung to the hollow of her collarbone, exuding a luxurious tuberose fragrance amidst the stench of blood.

Is capturing the heart of a budding, youthful teenager a piece of cake?

Three hours later, Luo Yi opened his eyes, his energy restored.

Miss Delilah also wanted to see what was outside Suzuran High School, but there was only one Luo Yi.

If Luo Yi leaves the third floor and goes outside, he cannot guarantee the safety of Miss Delilah and her girlfriend Eve. However, a dozen or so classmates together would be too conspicuous, and in the fog, he cannot guarantee the safety of every single one of them…

When Miss Delilah heard that everyone wanted to go outside with Luo Yi, she readily agreed without hesitation.

Sensing Luo Yi's confusion, Delilah's red lips moved silently, mouthing: "Isn't this just letting the burdens...get rid of themselves?"

Luo Yi's Adam's apple bobbed, and he nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the group of oblivious classmates behind him—they were huddled together, trembling like a flock of startled sheep.

His blade is only needed to protect Miss Delilah and Eve...

Everyone excitedly followed Luo Yi downstairs, eager to escape this nightmare.

The road was safe; the only corpses on the ground were those with their entrails ripped out and faces contorted in terror. They were all nobles from Suzuran High School, and some were acquaintances. Clearly, they had been killed by the wolf-headed monster while fleeing.

A rustling sound came from within the mist, and several pairs of scarlet eyes flickered in and out of the fog. Luo Yi's gaze narrowed slightly, and his source blood slowly surged, emanating a terrifying aura. The prying gazes immediately receded like a tide.

[Even after walking out of the campus, the fog remained.]

"Continue?" Luo Yi looked down at the soft, damp ground beneath his feet, his heart sinking. This wasn't the cobblestone street in the center of Beluga City.

Delilah paused for a moment, then glanced back at Suzuran High School. "Continue."

[Relying on their memories, the group walked to the right for thirty minutes, passing tall, ancient trees that were everywhere.]

They were in a forest.

Every so often, Miss Delilah would stop, tear a strip of lace from her skirt, and tie it to a grotesque shrub she passed.

The students behind them huddled together like startled quails, their expensive leather shoes covered in mud, yet no one dared utter a single complaint.

【Sudden.】

The forest's breath seemed to pause for a moment.

Luo Yi suddenly raised his hand, and everyone froze in place as if a pause button had been pressed.

The ground began to tremble slightly, followed by a violent shaking of the distant bushes—not from the wind, but from something moving in a large group.

Luo Yi couldn't determine the number, but his "sixth sense" detected a more terrifying pressure than that of the "black-scaled monsters."

Clearly, the wolf-headed monster wasn't afraid of Luo Yi; it was simply going home to get reinforcements.

"The monster army is coming!"

The first to break down was Knight Ruven, who let out a piercing scream and instinctively turned. With a "whoosh," a bone spike was hurled from a distance, piercing his throat with pinpoint accuracy.

Blood splattered onto the face of the nearest girl. She dazedly wiped her face, staring at the crimson stain on her palm, a broken gurgling sound escaping her throat.

【moment.】

The crowd erupted like ants in a nest doused with boiling water.

The crowd could no longer remain calm; chaos erupted.

Luo Yi lacked the prestige and ability to manage his distraught classmates. Calmly protecting himself, he used the chaos to pull Miss Delilah and Eve away in different directions. His black-scaled claw blades sliced ​​through the vines blocking their path, easily clearing a way.

Eve was with her best friend Diana, and Ms. Mary happened to be with the three of them.

[Following behind, Emilia, who had been watching Luo Yi and Miss Delilah closely, instinctively followed them.]

Soon, a piercing scream came from behind.

The voice was like a demon crawling out of the depths of hell, so shrill it almost pierced the eardrums.

[Someone was dragged into the bushes; the muffled sound of bones breaking mingled with heart-wrenching cries, before abruptly ending.]

Emilia glanced back, secretly relieved. She gritted her teeth, not daring to stop for a moment, her eyes fixed on Ms. Mary's figure ahead.

[I don't know how long I ran.]

Luo Yi suddenly stopped, turned around and pressed Miss Delilah behind him into his shadow. His muscles bulged, and his claws were held horizontally in front of his chest.

【call out! 】

A whooshing sound ripped through the air; an arrow pierced the thick fog, but Luo Yi's black-scaled claw blade flashed a crescent-shaped arc of light, severing the arrow.

【call out! 】

Luo Yi suddenly turned to the side, an arrow whizzing past his cheek and embedding itself in the tree trunk behind him, its fletching trembling violently.

【collapse!】

The sound of a bowstring came from above, aimed at the motionless Luo Yi.

Damn it... there are more than two archers.

Luo Yi froze, his dark eyes locking onto the source of the sound, his hair standing on end... To be able to shoot an arrow in such dense fog truly gave him complete advantage.

You could die if you're not careful!

[The enemy was also wary of Luo Yi, who managed to dodge two arrows in the mist. At such a short distance, if the next arrow missed, they would surely die.]

The two sides are locked in a stalemate.

【soon.】

The thick fog suddenly billowed, and a tall, slender figure emerged from a large tree ahead. With a light touch of the toes among the trees, the figure leaped onto a boulder three meters away in the blink of an eye.

[It was a blue-haired woman holding a bow and arrow. She was tall and slender, wearing a leather battle skirt with a slit that revealed a pair of perfectly sculpted, long legs. Her muscles were slightly taut, like a cheetah poised to pounce.]

Luo Yi slightly raised his gaze and noticed the pointed ears faintly visible through the other person's emerald bangs, confirming his guess—they weren't human.

The elven girl drew her recurve bow to its fullest extent, the arrow aimed directly at Luo Yi's brow. Her nostrils flared slightly as she carefully examined the black-haired boy not far away, speaking in her clumsy human language.

"Huh? It's not those stinky guys from the Fang Clan..."

"Black hair, black eyes, and the ability to evade my race's arrows through the fog—you are... a human warrior?"
