The entire chamber shook, dust falling from the high ceiling. When everyone looked up to observe the results of the clash, eyes widened like saucers.
Hazel's attack was blocked by a pincer, but wasn't completely ineffective. Cracks ran down the chitin covering the pincer, and black blood spilled from the wounds.
'Not enough.'
Ariel's eyes narrowed, then his head snapped up immediately.
Whoosh-!
Something plummeted from the ceiling, and impacted the creature heavily.
BOOM!
The impact was thunderous, directly blasting the students away. Shocked, everyone turned to look at the creature.
It lay on the ground, and someone was standing on its back.
'Is that… a human?'
Ariel wondered. The figure was entirely black, with a shadowy aura escaping from them. They were clad in a rigid battle armor, a black helmet, and held a black sword.
'Rank 3… a female.'
