environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confusion etched itself on my face along with a deep line as I blinked my eyes back to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Checking my watch, I saw it was past two o'clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hazy afternoon sun was still overhead, filtering through the thick vines and casting an orange glow over the forest that covered the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck these different time zones.\" Grumbling under my breath, I looked around the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I was at the academy, it wasn't even ten, and now, far away from there, time had passed, giving me only a few hours of sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood in front of some old building site, my back towards the sea, overlooking what would, once completed, be an outdoor pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, it was a sorry-looking mess, crudely dug like a basin full of dirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An abandoned island that was once home to someone,\" I mumbled, gazing over the building now covered with plants and trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....Not the best place to be teleported at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking much, I walked forward, entering the building and making my way towards the terrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A foul, disgusting odor filled my nostrils as I walked inside the abandoned building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...The smell of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, there was nothing inside to attack me as I reached the top without any problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahh, fuck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mumbled as I gazed around the island, which was filled with an eerie, misty fog that covered the entire place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trees taller than hundreds of meters covered the middle of the island, making it harder to see through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as far as I remember, if I want to find the place where the queen lays eggs, I have to move to the very north of the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Opposite to where I stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that will definitely take me over a few hours to reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighing heavily, I flexed my legs before jumping toward the tree adjacent to the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding the right branch, I jumped down slowly from one to another until I reached the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the peeking sun, I determined my location before starting to walk towards the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'...Right.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing in a deep breath, I parted my lips, mumbling, \"....Iksna.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mana in my body depleted by half as an invisible half-sphere started to emerge around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a moment for it to complete as the mana around the place slowly started to enter my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I waited for a while to restore the mana I had depleted until it was back to full again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out my katana, I coated my hand with mana before sweeping it horizontally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lost a small part of my mana, but it quickly restored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This sure is some next-level cheat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mumbled while walking as I stepped inside the dense jungle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If my consumption of mana is lower than the mana I gather from the half-sphere, I can theoretically use mana forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then again, my consumption will depend on whom I'm fighting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfamiliar sounds chirruped, squawked, and screeched within the dim forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A butterfly bigger than my entire palm burst past me, caught in a web laid by a spider half my size with legs made of bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blankly stared at the spider before walking forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One thing about monsters in this world is that we can't know how strong they really are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's no specific power system for that because it's not possible to do—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My train of thought stopped abruptly as the area, filled with hundreds of sounds, quieted down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My gaze observed the place while I tightly gripped the handle of my katana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy hammering sounds slowly echoed... like something big was rushing toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I twirled my body slowly as the source of the sound wasn't clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, I felt a chilling sensation on my neck as I twisted my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of metal clashing resonated as my katana hit something hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I propelled backward, creating distance between me and the being that attacked me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature appeared to be a humanoid three times my size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body was muscular and sinewy, covered in tough, dark, leathery skin that resembled a mix of reptilian and insectoid features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most striking characteristic was its head, which had no eyes or face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, its head was made up of several petal-like flaps that opened outward, exposing a gaping, tooth-filled maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SCREEECH!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud cry, the creature's elongated arm, with clawed fingers, reached toward my neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ducked down, adjusting my katana before grabbing its elongated claw. I shifted my weight and imbued mana at the last minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the 1,000-pound monster was tossed into the air before slamming hard onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"BOOM!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground shattered from the impact, and the monster wailed deeply in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gripping my katana, I lodged it deeply into its gaping mouth, cutting its face in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It died, but not before letting out a scream for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I clicked my tongue in annoyance as I heard the same hammering sound, but this time from ten different places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....Azariah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...But before that, someone else arrived beside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned around to look at the white-haired girl standing in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quietly stared at her as she took out her sword, glaring at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is everything alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a large hall in the middle of the island, filled with equipment, a lady with reddish hair asked while looking at the multiple screens that showed the entirety of the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, ma'am,\" a man sitting in front of the monitor replied. \"...All the cameras are working properly without any problems.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, what about the second-year students?\" Daphne asked, staring at the monitor. \"Are they in the right place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most of them are,\" replied the man. \"...But a few still need some time to get to the right location.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell them to move faster,\" she ordered, folding her hands. \"...We don't need any mishaps.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, ma'am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne turned around to look at the two students sitting with Lauryn and Julian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running his hand through his light green hair, Julian mumbled, \"...What are they doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Christina looked at him with a light smile. \"...We were asked to be here, professor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently nodded before looking at Avril for her response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same reason,\" Avril replied curtly, her gaze on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially on the monitor showing a boy with purple hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is guarding the place with the Darth Queen?\" Christina asked, looking at Daphne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ivan and Prince Jonathan,\" Daphne replied, tilting her head. \"...Why do you ask?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...No reason,\" she mumbled, gazing down at her necklace before softly grabbing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne's gaze shifted towards Lauryn, who sat, staring blankly at the monitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused by her behavior, Daphne moved closer, shaking her. \"...What happened to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lauryn's tired gaze moved towards her, and she shook her head, replying, \"...I'm fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sweat pouring down her forehead said otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne pursed her lips, but in the end, she just nodded gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Professor Daphne,\" Christina mumbled, glancing at her. \"...Just in case something bad happens... something that you guys can't handle, what are we going to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne smiled, clearly anticipating the question. \"...Lauryn has a device that is directly connected to the one the principal is carrying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nudged Lauryn, urging her to take out the device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lauryn sighed before taking out the device laced with red marks from her bracelet and showing it to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And a teleportation circle is made right outside for him to arrive within a minute,\" added Daphne, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...But what if it's something that can't be handled by him?\" Still not satisfied, Christina asked again. \"...What about then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daphne's smile didn't falter as she replied confidently, \"...In that case, Lady Esmeray has volunteered to help us if the situation calls for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I see,\" Christina mumbled, squinting her eyes at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand softly rubbed her necklace as she fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Where did you get the necklace?\" Avril asked, her purple eyes staring at Christina's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, this?\" Christina mumbled before smiling sweetly. \"Azariah gave it to me when we first met.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Why don't I remember it?\" Avril mumbled. \"And is it just me, or did Azariah never notice it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Christina shrugged. \"...I have no idea what you're talking about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Avril could reply, Lauryn abruptly stood up from her seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need some fresh air,\" she mumbled before walking out of the small building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze remained blank as she moved deeper into the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her breathing remained haggard, her chest constricted with pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving far away from the building, she leaned against a tall tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Kill the monster,\" she whispered softly, taking a deep breath. \"...Kill the monster before he hurts someone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking in a deep breath, she took out the same device that she had shown to Christina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I'm sorry,\" she whispered softly, lowering her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her grip tightened, and the device crumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....Its broken pieces fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>",1514,"2026-06-05T21:29:08.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","6bd2b07eaf20a52b8b904f3663905e2b1c933c83e77752479f06f5146591794e","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-362","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-185",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
