It was said that it took at least five high-ranking Heroes to properly subdue one of these.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing its ruse had failed, the Drake rose with a menacing glare in its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as it struggled to lift itself, its ferocious presence did not wane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, its eyes glowed a vivid red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>KRRAAAHHHH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a wounded beast unleashing its final roar, it let out a thunderous bellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this the start of Phase 2?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phase 2 was triggered once its health dropped below fifty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this point on, the Drake would enter a berserk state—its defense decreased, but its attack power skyrocketed to terrifying levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, it had entered a Berserker state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the game, this was the point where attacking recklessly was a death sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Drake lifted its torso, planted its hind legs firmly on the ground, and assumed an odd stance—like that of a stone statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it opened its maw wide, and air around it began to be sucked inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Kang Jae-seok, sensing something wrong, shouted with a burst of fierce energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy—! It’s not even a full-grown Drake yet, and it’s trying to use Breath?! Don’t get close to Instructor Kang Jae-seok!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Breath was an ultimate attack pattern that rarely appeared during Phase 2. It allowed one to truly feel the absurd, broken power of a berserk Drake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right now, any one of their allies struck by it would be instantly killed—no exceptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Mabel’s warning, Instructor Kang Jae-seok froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was the wrong move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it—this was not the time to hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During Phase 2, the Drake’s defense was already weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it prepared Dragon Breath, it grounded its entire body and indiscriminately absorbed mana from the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant — any attacks we launched during this buildup couldn’t be resisted or deflected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, the standard strategy for the Drake’s Breath phase was for the party members who had saved up their strength to unleash everything right before the Breath was fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shouted toward Helena behind me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Helena! Get ready to release your Dragon Power. Don’t unleash it yet—just have it ready to go at any moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena slowly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana began to swirl violently around her as she closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I turned to the two instructors and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Both of you, prepare your strongest possible attacks—now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you talking about!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two instructors stared at me in disbelief, as if I’d lost my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, there was no time to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quickly! Both of you! We don’t have much time! I’ll handle the Breath!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Explain!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Kang Jae-seok barked sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right before it completes the Breath, Helena—who possesses the power of a Dragon—will restrain its movement! That’s when you both strike with everything you’ve got!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Instructor Kang Jae-seok seemed to understand the situation roughly. He steadied his breathing and glared at the Drake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…We’ll discuss punishment after this is over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the middle of this, he was talking about punishment—for staying and fighting instead of retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a harsh man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Mabel, who had already heard the plan, closed her eyes and began chanting with full concentration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of magic circles floated into the air around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, a crimson aura burst out from Kang Jae-seok, whose skin had turned red and hair white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this point forward, timing was everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I fixed my gaze firmly on the Drake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What I was about to attempt was, in game terms, a Perfect Parry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before the creature unleashed its attack, I would synchronize Helena’s power—like hitting the perfect note in a rhythm game—to cancel it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in that split second, we’d unleash a full barrage, a perfect combo—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crashing the mana within the Drake’s body against the mana outside to trigger a massive explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena behind me let out a pained groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kkkuuu—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena’s eyes had split vertically, casting a deep, dark gleam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked like she was trying to control the dragon’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I whispered to Helena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on a little longer! Even if it goes berserk, we’ll handle it from here. When I give the signal, release your power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huff, huff…… I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the ki gathered in its maw began to ripple and coil together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a little more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a little……!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I focused on its Adam’s apple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the Drake’s throat, red as heated iron, lurched, I shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Krrraaaaaaa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With my signal, a roar erupted from Helena behind me that no human voice could produce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roar of a dragon — the king of monsters and the progenitor of magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That resonance alone was a superior force that suppressed lower races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the powerful CC skill she possessed, Dragon fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the strength of a higher-class being for the first time, the Drake’s movements froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Instructor Kang Jae-seok and Instructor Mabel Elva, not missing the moment, launched their attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enormous magic erupted from the gigantic magic circle, and a blood-red sword qi, saturated with Instructor Kang Jae-seok’s mana, flew in a crescent shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of their best strikes collided with the frozen breath stuck in the Drake’s maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kwagagagagagagagagang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a vibration unlike anything before, the entire pocket dimension shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was too much for the pocket dimension to withstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I operated the Asura Divine Art at full power and braced for the coming explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that instant, Instructor Mabel Elva, who had teleported in, began chanting magic to form a shield while deploying a teleportation magic circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teleportation magic circle formed in an instant and enveloped us, and a massive explosion turned the world before our eyes white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beast Farm control room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man in front of countless monitors slammed his hand down on the desk with a thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron desk split in half far too easily from his single punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the man screamed as if his anger would not subside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kraaaak! Damn it! Damn it! Those fucking worthless pieces of—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the screen, the Drake’s corpse lay with its massive head burst and sprawled on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, the man’s fury flared again and black ki erupted from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could every plan I prepared fail without a single one working out?! Is this even possible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boris, the Demon of Madness — the mastermind and hidden hand behind the demon rampage — stared at the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his sight were the ones who had taken down the Drake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Br-r-r-t!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mabel Elvaaa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why the woman who was supposed to be at the Academy had appeared here instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had definitely checked the list of all instructors dispatched for the field trip through Pandemonium’s information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that list had definitely not contained the name Mabel Elva — so how had she known to come?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance from the Academy to here was considerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for an upper-rank hero like Mabel Elva, long-distance teleportation without an intermediary or a magic circle was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant she had known about this incident in advance and had prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that couldn’t be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Berid’s underlings had already dealt with the managers and cut the communications network to prepare for contingencies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even more, it puzzled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was information leaking from somewhere?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, his plans couldn’t have failed so perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still seemed unable to calm down, and he began smashing things around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were almost no fatalities and only minor injuries, so instead of damaging the Academy’s reputation and trust as intended, it ended up slandering Pandemonium’s reputation instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to make this up for by any means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If things continued like this, he wouldn’t avoid punishment even inside Pandemonium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already been looked down upon despite being a high-ranking Demon because of his weak combat ability, and if this mission failed too, his life would be in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must make up for it. Somehow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he move now and eliminate the civilians or cadets who hadn’t escaped yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to tear Mabel, who ruined his plans, to pieces, but with his weak combat power, there was no way he could beat her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He manipulated the Beast Farm’s CCTV to check inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was trying to find those who hadn’t escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then someone caught Boris’s eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three boys and girls holding weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing weapons, they looked like Academy cadets, and their faces seemed familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boris’s eyes darted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the cadets who had appeared with Mabel when the strange white barrier had lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are those that monster woman’s pupils?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he thought of it, those were the ones who had been at the front, blocking the beasts when the Demon Farm’s beasts had gone berserk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for them, the beasts would have scattered throughout the farm and caused countless casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a way, those brats had been the starting point for his plan collapsing like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they were among the weaker Demons, cadets who had just entered the Academy should have been easy to play with one-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A killing intent gleamed in Boris’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes — at least to make up for this situation, kill those brats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could even take revenge on Mabel, who had ruined all his plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her beloved pupils were horribly slaughtered, what face would she make?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boris almost went mad at the thought of seeing Mabel face her pupils’ corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon the overflowing mana around him began to subside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he were an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, Boris’s figure disappeared from the control room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What remained there were the corpses of innocents who had fought each other and died.\u003C\u002Fp>",1844,"2026-06-05T19:04:26.866Z",1,"novelbin.me","c3200a70a0a35d19cd37568c147175ba5cd143c3a2bad0016b5de209a1a14d13","i-became-the-academy-s-final-boss-chapter-60","i-became-the-academy-s-final-boss-chapter-106",137,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-became-the-academy-s-final-boss-cover.jpg"]
