Chapter 45 - The Battle To The Death

"William and Steele have not been found yet."

Chris was about to rush out to continue looking for them.

After seeing Chris's reaction, Vincent said quickly, "Teacher Chris! There's no need to look for them! They have all been killed by the monsters!"

Chris stopped suddenly after hearing what Vincent had said.

Although she had been preparing herself mentally, she still could not accept such a reality.

"Vincent, is that the truth?"

Vincent nodded his head with certainty.

"I saw it with my own eyes."

Vincent was not lying.

William was indeed killed by the monster.

If he had to admit it, he only pushed him a little.

It was a gentle push.

As for Steele, although Vincent did not see it happen with his own eyes, he felt like someone had been following him ever since he separated from Angelina and the others.

It was just that the person's tracking skills were very good so he could not discover him.

Plus, it was obvious that Steele did not have any good intentions if he was following him.

After he encountered the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex for the first time, he no longer felt like he was being followed.

Using his toes to think, he knew that the tracker was probably killed by the aftershock of his battle with the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Vincent.

After all, when he was up against the Phoenix-Feather Tyrannosaurus Rex, he was being chased and he did not fight back.

Chris slapped her forehead.

Every year, teachers and students would die. There had a complete set of measures to deal with something like this.

However, it was different this time.

William was different.

He was the Prince of the Falcon Kingdom. He was from the royal family. His death would cause a lot of trouble for Quinn.

Plus, only S-Class individuals had died so far. It was a great loss to Quinn.

"Let's go back."

Chris sighed and pulled Vincent along. They then ran towards Hero City.

Chris was too fast. She was so fast that Vincent could not even see the surroundings clearly.

"Was this the speed of a high-level superpowered person?"

Vincent was shocked.

He thought that he could fight high-level superpowered people since he was able to fight high-level monsters.

All along he thought that even if he could not win, he would not be defeated.

However, it seemed like this was not the case at all.

His speed was no match for a high-level superpowered person.

No matter how well he controlled his superpowers, it would be pointless if he could not even hit the target.

Alarms were going off in Hero City.

Hero City had sophisticated equipment to detect the movements of the monsters as they were guarding the frontline.

In addition to the information provided by Bixby, the news of a Monster Horde arriving was accurate.

Everyone in the city had to go to the city wall to perform their duties. They were all in combat mode.

All the spiritual cannons were on standby and were waiting for orders to be fired.

Apart from the city guards in Hero City, the Rangers, mercenary groups, Quinn's teachers, and students were all ready to join the battle.

The mercenary groups' foundation was in Hero City.

If the city was destroyed by the Monster Horde, they would have nothing left.

The city guards were the main force.

The Rangers, Quinn's teachers, and students all had high-end combat strength.

The Rangers had traveled all over the world. If they did not have strong combat strength as their foundation, they would have died a long time ago.

Those who were still alive were definitely not weak and could fight well against monsters.

As for the students and teachers, it was no doubt that they had a great foundation.

They had the best resources for education and cultivation. Their strength could not be compared to ordinary people.

Of course, the students who could participate in such a large-scale battle were usually in the third or fourth grade.

The first and second grades were not allowed to participate at all.

After all, they were the future of Quinn, and also the future of humanity.

They could not be harmed.

Plus, they lacked experience in battles. Their presence would not have made a difference anyway.

Angelina's face was filled with anxiety outside the city wall.

The others all had their brows tightly furrowed.

Only madman Chris looked eager to give it a try.

"Why aren't Vincent and Teacher Chris back yet?" asked Angelina.

Angelina could not help herself.

Bixby's face was solemn as he stared at the Monster Horde approaching them. He then said in a deep voice, "They will come back. Everyone will come back safely."

Although Bixby tried to reassure Angelina, he himself did not have any confidence in the situation.

After all, it had been so long. No one could give an accurate answer as to whether they would return or not.

Angelina listened to Bixby who sounded like he had no confidence at all. Tears started to flow down her face.

At that moment, she realized how weak she truly was.

She was so weak that she could only wait in the city wall anxiously.

She prayed in secret. If Vincent returned to her safely, she would definitely train hard and seriously.

At the same time, there was a figure approaching them. The figure was much faster than the Monster Horde.

"It's Teacher Chris and Vincent!" shouted Nyssa. She was surprised to see them.

"Open the city gates! It's Teacher Chris!" shouted Bixby. He was instructing the City Guard General.

The City Guard General was about to give the order to open the city gates when he saw Chris suddenly squat down. She then jumped upwards.

With a bang, Chris was sent flying.

After a few relays on the city wall, she flipped over and stood beside Bixby.

She was hugging Vincent in her arms. Vincent had a dead look on his face.

Originally, Chris was running whilst pulling him.

However, Chris felt that this method was too slow. They might not even arrive at Hero City before the Monster Horde.

She quickly carried Vincent like how a prince would carry his princess.

Their speed increased. However, Vincent felt like he had disgraced himself.

"Vincent!"

Angelina pounced on Vincent the moment she saw him.

The others looked at Vincent and Chris in confusion. Their eyes moving back and forth between the two.

Vincent coughed lightly and climbed down from Chris's arms.

Although Chris's breasts were very soft and comfortable, he could not stay there forever.

He already lost face. He could not lose his reputation and be labeled as a pervert too.

Those who were familiar with Chris's personality looked at her in disbelief.

Vincent was the first person to have ever gotten so close to Chris.

It was so close that it felt surreal.

"Vincent, are you alright?"

Angelina hugged Vincent. Her face was full of worry.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Vincent felt a warmth in his heart when Angelina cared for him.

Although this was not the first time someone had cared for him, he had not been properly cared for since he was young. He had always remembered every single person who cared for him.

Avril wanted to give Vincent a hug.

However, she stopped herself when she saw Angelina throw herself into Vincent's arms.

Her heart was confused. She did not know what to feel.

Bixby coughed lightly and looked at Chris.

Chris nodded her head sadly.

Bixby sighed slightly.

Although he could already guess it from the moment he saw Vincent and Chris, he still felt uncomfortable after knowing the actual truth.

Chris took a deep breath and turned to look at the crowd.

"Students, I have bad news for everyone."

"William, Mouse, and Steele have all been killed by the monsters."

Everyone fell silent after hearing Chris's announcement.

Everyone understood the logic behind her words. In a battle with a monster, death and injury were inevitable.

However, they still felt bad after hearing the news.

Even though they hated William, they were not very familiar with him.

"Soldiers! The monsters are coming! Hero City is the first barrier of Blazing City. We swear that we will not let these bastards pass!"

The general of the city guards held a spiritual gun in his left hand and a spiritual sword in his right hand as he shouted.

"Our wives, our children, our parents, and the future of humanity all live in Blazing City! We have no choice."

"We can only fight to the death! Let these animals see that we humans are invincible!"

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"

The soldiers of Hero City roared at the top of their lungs. It was as if they had been injected with stimulants.

The noise was deafening!
