NOVEL WEB Chapter 1437: Demon Cultist Attack
-----
"W-what's going on?! This is too damn much, damn it!" Hasan complained as he was close to Erika, suddenly attacked by a bunch of Demonic Beasts, he quickly summoned his Spirits, which were all silver-colored weapons, and fired them at his foes, tearing, stabbing, and puncturing them with all seven of them
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Hasan's repertoire of Spirits seemed simple, but after being elevated to the power level of Rank 7, they were noticeably strong than just about any other weapon he could ever wield.
His Silver Sword, Silver Spear, Silver Axe, Silver Hammer, Silver Naginata, Silver Katana, and Silver Dagger floated around him, releasing Silver Auras that boosted his body's strength, suddenly turning him into silver color as well, becoming a Metallic Man.
"T-The director is fighting?!"
"This is the first time I see this!"
"Amazing! All of his spirits are weapons like the rumors said!"
"And they're all… silver?"
"I know him! He's well known on the battlefield as Hasan, the Silver Weapon Master! He's a monster! We're saved!"
The students cowering behind Hasan with a few other soldiers were relieved to see him fighting, although Hasan himself seemed worried to death, and with too many things inside his head to worry!
"Dylan was a traitor this entire time?! Damn it! How couldn't I ever see this coming?! This is my fault! What are we even going to do now?! Will Blake have to kill him? He'll have to! He turned into a demon…! No, but this is…"
As his mind was in disarray, one of the stronger Cultists managed to sneak behind him, using Spirit Fusion with his Demonic Shadow Spirit, the Cultist was able to sneak behind the director, summoning his Demonic Poison Knife and aiming at his neck!
"Director!"
CLAAASH!
However, Erika leaped in there, clashing against the assassin-type cultist and reflecting its deadly dagger spirit, which exploded and shattered into pieces by the sheer strength of Erika's sword.
"Uuuggh?!"
The shockwave her attack released pushed the cultist back, revealing his monstrous appearance as a giant snake-headed humanoid demonic human, hissing at Erika angrily.
"Damn it! My Spirit Weapon!"
As he complained, Erika looked at Hasan with a worried expression.
"E-Erika, you saved me…! Even with my skin, I don't know if I could have-"
"I know we're going through a lot right now, but please stay focused, director! You're everyone's pillar in here, aside from Blake… if you lose your composure, how is everyone going to have any hope of surviving or making it out of here? We have to deal with what's in front of us!"
"Ah… Y-You're… right…!"
Hasan's eyes widened as he heard a few valuable words from Erika, despite how he thought the girl was kind of clueless, she was completely right in everything she said.
If he hesitated, if he faltered right now, then what would happen to the students right now? to everyone else? He simply couldn't falter, even less let this devolve into terrible tragedy!
"Everyone is still alive, we haven't lost a single person, Blake and we prepared for this! Elizabeth and I will heal everyone we can, so please, we simply have to fight and trust his plan!"
"So Blake had already anticipated this?! That damn brat sure is a genius, it makes me mad, but I'll have to trust whatever crazy plan he cooked!"
Hasan gritted his teeth as his seven spirit weapons overflowed with silver auras, flying around at rapid speed, attacking the Demonic Beasts and the cultists that tried to get to him.
"SHAAAAH!"
The snake-headed cultist hissed angrily, as he unleashed several snake heads out of his body, firing beams of various elements to stop all of Hasan's spirit weapons. However, that proved to be rather ineffective, as Hasan's weapons seemed… completely immune to magic damage.
"No damage at all?! H-How is that possible?!"
The snake cultist was completely flabbergasted, and it couldn't be blamed for being like that, not many would know of the special power of Hasan's spirits.
They were composed of something special…
"My spirits are made out of Spirit Silver, a rare material in the wild," explained Hasan. "It is a material that can naturally reflect most magic. My weapons are also my shields, even though I have yet to summon a shield as my spirit."
As Hasan stepped forward, he pointed his hand at the cultist, who tried to escape, only to be impaled by a spear, had his heads sliced by a sword, his arms cleaved by the axe, and his heart stabbed by a knife.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"GAAAAAHHH!"
The Demonic Cultist had his Demonic Core shattered, unable to regenerate anymore, he dropped dead into the floor, Hasan quickly redirecting his attacks towards his surroundings.
"Incredible, I've never seen someone fight like that using their spirits! Isn't he amazing Elizabeth?" Erika asked Elizabeth who was nearby.
"He's certainly our director for sure," Elizabeth nodded. "Even though he's only Rank 7 compared to the other stronger Rank 8s among the professors… I suppose he make sup for his lower rank with other capabilities."
"Well, looks like everyone else is also putting a good fight!" Erika looked at the students near her, all classes had unified to fight the threat, full of questions just like Hasan, but without the ability to answer any of them, they only could fight to survive and nothing else right now.
"Dragon Spirits, assist them!"
The Spirits Erika summoned automatically from her sword as she felled her foes went to assist the students, helping them survive by covering their blind spots and taking blows from them, they glanced back at her with surprise.
"Are you guys alright?"
"We're barely hanging on! W-What's going on?!" Clarice panicked, asking the real questions.
"We were all set up by the demon cultists, that's what's happening!" Erika said. "They seem to have planned this for a while!
"What?!" Clarice panicked, avoiding a giant claw and then quickly swinging her Lion Axe, crushing the head and brains of a Demonic Beast resembling an aberrant giant wolf.
CRAAASH!
