“I’ve got this coconut.” A student waved his hand at his partner. “We should be able to drink this.”
“Thank you. I’ve gathered a bunch of sticks. We should be fine to go through the night. All we need to do is gather some wood to create a temporary tent. At least, we will have a roof on top of our heads tonight.”
…
On another side of the island, Rudeus asked, “Where do you think we should go, August? A place that is easy for us to make a shelter.”
“It’s preferable to be near the water source. As for the construction, the dwarf will handle it. It’s better to have a comfortable place to sleep since we don’t want to feel stressed.”
“Indeed.” Rudeus nodded. “My familiars are currently gathering food from the area. My cyclops will bring all our stuff since he is huge. After that, we’ll search for a good spot.”
August nodded in agreement. “Ye—”
He abruptly stopped when he noticed a huge figure in the sky.
“What’s wrong?” Rudeus turned around and raised his head, finding Nidhogg. “Isn’t that… the dragon in the legend? The only one who is able to summon a dragon…”
“It’s him!” August bit his lips. “We have to go to the center as quickly as possible.”
“No wait. We don’t have to do it that quickly.” Rudeus shook his head. “In the end, we are still sharing resources with other classmates. Once we regroup with them and isolate them, we can slowly run them dry. They have to fight us first if they want to get some points from aliens.”
August nodded his head. It seemed Rudeus had a plan, so it was better to stick with the original plan.
Unbeknownst to them, they were about to experience a disaster on a scale they had never predicted.
…
On the west side of the island, a pair of a boy and a girl were gathering their resources on the shore. They were using palm leaves to avoid sand from messing with their food.
“Are we done?”
“Yes. We shouldn’t procure a lot of food right now. It’ll be a hassle to bring them to the center of the island. We have to find a water source.”
“Indeed. Thank you so much.” The girl smiled.
“Ahem…” The boy pumped his chest proudly even though he was blushing.
Both of them were smiling at each other, albeit that romantic atmosphere was soon disturbed by a dragon’s cry.
The deafening cry startled the whole island, which definitely allowed them to find Nathan’s location.
However, they couldn’t care less about his location, especially when Nathan did something unthinkable.
All of a sudden, Nidhogg let out his breath, spreading his purple fire to the area.
The trees immediately caught fire. As Nidhogg mentioned earlier, his fire was not normal. With just a single spark, it turned into a blaze and engulfed the entire tree.
The fire spread wide in just one minute.
“What is going on?” The two students were startled.
They could see the blaze from far away, but more importantly, the smoke produced from that flame was getting carried by the wind westward.
As a result, not a single thing would be spared in its way.
“What is this?”
“Oh no!”
One of them summoned their familiar, which turned out to be a harpy. The harpy flew to the sky to see the massive scale of the fire.
Nidhogg was blasting his fire at full force to the west side of the island, letting the wind spread his fire even further.
“Not good! That dragon is burning the island.”
“What?!” The two students panicked. They were not the only ones who checked the situation. Even August and Rudeus couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
The flame actually engulfed 20% of the island in just the first few minutes, showing the extraordinary might of the chaos flame.
Everything was reduced to ashes. The food was gone, the trees were scorched, and the cries of the aliens began to fill the island.
Yes, there were supposed ten thousand aliens in this forest, hidden among the trees. Even if the students came and eliminated some, they only killed at most a hundred aliens in total.
However, this was a much more efficient method to kill those aliens.
By burning the woods, the aliens would eventually catch fire as well.
Aliens, specifically symbiotes, had resistance to heat, but the chaos flame was different. The intense heat carried the chaotic energy that bypassed their heat resistance.
Hundreds of aliens were either killed or heavily burned within the first few minutes.
Other aliens were coming to help, but they simply had no means of stopping the forest from burning. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
In addition, Nidhogg continued spreading his flame, planning to engulf half of this island. That was why Nathan asked where the wind blew.
After knowing its direction, he decided to wipe out everything in that direction by using Nidhogg.
And it was effective.
The smoke would also make the students who were teleported to the west side of the alien have a hard time breathing. They would probably be poisoned if they didn’t leave as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, once the fire engulfed half of the island, Nidhogg should have killed at least a thousand aliens and heavily injured a few thousand aliens. They just needed to kill the rest later.
It was because of this crazy plan that Nathan had gone to Flora. In fact, if Flora knew his plan, she would probably try to stop him like what happened in the battle royale.
No one could blame him. Nathan had even asked Jason for confirmation. And it wasn’t like the fire would spread outside the island.
Of course, he believed the teacher would evacuate those students, which resulted in him not killing any classmates. This was a strategy that could only be executed here.
With a grin on his face, Nathan simply laughed. “Hahaha. Burn. Burn everything. If the world (class) is going to attack me, I’d rather destroy the world (class) first!”
…
Both Vivian and the principal dropped their jaws, as they couldn’t believe what was happening.
The principal asked, “Vice Principal. What the heck are you teaching to your students?”
“Do you believe me this entire idea is his?” Vivian blinked a few times.
