"No need to hide in the darkness, I can sense all of you", The dean said as he floated inside the cave.

The cave's interior was smooth, lined with different ores and metals as different electrical lines moved inwards.

Getting no response, the dean smirked as he said,

"Seems like you all weren't told of me, let me introduce myself. For I am the one who will be the cause of your deaths, as I am your deepest fear itself",

Saying this, the dean paused for a moment to see if someone responds to his words. However, all that remained was everlasting silence. Getting agitated by the second, the dean said,

"If you guys were smart enough to notice the danger to your lives, you would have bowed down to my feet but seeing everyone's reaction, I would conclude that you all are nothing but dumb monkeys who do not know a thing about real power",

Saying that the dean waved his hands. Sending out an invisible wave of power. The wind flew by and a second later, someone was struggling to breathe in front of the dean.

The dean lifted his hand and clenched it into a fist. As the dean did it, the person who was struggling to breathe stopped all of a sudden as his neck hung down like a broken rod.

Doing this, the dean looked around and said,

"I am sure you all would have gotten an idea of my strength. Now, if you want to fight me, oppose me, stop me, or whatever you want. I say you do this now or else I won't mind massacring you all in a fraction of a second and, to be honest, it wouldn't be a bit of fun. So let's have fun, shall we?",

Saying that the dean only grinned as he crossed his arms and stood proudly in the air, like a spectator waiting to watch a show of his life. The only difference was that the dean was as much of a performer as he was a spectator.

Meanwhile,

At different hiding spots within the cave, stood men and women with weapons in their hands, ready to attack at a moment's notice. However, all that was overshadowed by the fear they felt.

It was a visceral fear that came from deep within the bones. A fear that made them shiver as they felt their souls screaming from it.  Feeling such fear, these men and women glanced at each other.

Seeing the same fear in the eyes of their companions, their confidence wavered, but what could these men and women do?

These people had taken money for this same purpose. To stop the person who came through the entrance, no matter who it is. It is their job to stop him.

Even if the fear within them made them hesitate, they knew that they couldn't just let this person go unchallenged. Thus, everyone nodded their heads in agreement and at the same time came out of their hiding places.

Soon, the empty spaces and places where no one could be seen were filled with different people. Some were older than the other, some had different features while the others had some distinctive outfits that set them apart.

However, all of these people had one thing in common, and that was the hatred and murderous intent within their eyes for one common enemy-the dean.

On the other hand, the dean simply showed an amused expression as he spoke,

"You all have got some balls after all. Never thought you would show yourselves. Not that I have an issue with it as you guys just made my job easier, and for that, I would like to thank you",

Listening to the dean's never-ending chatter. An impatient man in his twenties spoke as he shouted at the dean,

"Who do you think you are? Speaking to us as if we are some two-year-olds that are not even strong enough to harm your hair. Let me tell you one thing, just half of us could decimate you completely and you wouldn't even be able to comprehend what happened to you",

p "Strong words, coming from someone like you. Let's see if you can support your claims too", the dean grinned as he pointed at the man and continued,

"I give you all a chance to strike me with all of your power at once, and if you can even move a single follicle of my hair, I will let you all go and be on my way to do what I came here for",

Saying this, the dean smirked as he gestured for everyone to come at him while folding his hands behind his back.

To everyone else, it seemed that the dean was either too scared to fight such a large number of people or simply stupid. It never came to their minds that the person in front of them could kill them with a snap of his finger and that all he was doing was just for fun.

With this, all of the people took hold of this opportunity as they readied their attacks. Someone used their abilities while some used mana to fuel their affinities and cast different spells.

In the midst of all this, some took out different weapons, some melee and some ranged. A very small percentage used spirit-based attacks as such people were very rare to come by.

Soon, everyone's attacks were ready. Some had lightning snaking around them while some had water swirling around them. Somewhere, snow-forged swords floated while some simply raised their weapons and pointed them at the dean.

Following this, everyone unleashed their attacks. Lightning, fire, water, and whatnot as all types of elements rained while swords and arrows flew in the air as all of these projectiles had one singular target, The Dean.

On the other hand, the dean simply welcomed all these attacks with open arms. The attacks continued to fly toward the dean and just as they were about to hit the dean, they all stopped.

All of those wondrous attacks stopped mid-air as the dean simply raised his hand, leaving everyone else astonished. To the point that their mouths hung open wide like saucers.

"My turn!", the dean said as he smiled evilly and waved his hand. As he did so, the attacks turned around and flew back to the people who sent them.

Leading to a bloody massacre where all of the attackers died of their attacks.

After killing every single one of them, the dean turned around and moved deeper into the cave.

Meanwhile,

Within the forest,

Aliya wiped her forehead as she sighed in relief upon closing the huge wound on Tim's stomach. As for Tim's shoulder, it was stored in her inventory to attach back later with the help of a skilled and more powerful healer.

Afterwards, Aliya healed Tim even more and moved to heal Elina. While she was healing Elina, a transmission sounded within her consciousness,

"Aliya! Could you hear me? If you could, then please reach me as soon as possible, I need your help",

Listening to the transmission, Aliya's eyes dilated a bit as she loudly exclaimed,

"Ray is in danger. He needs our help",

On the other hand,

As everyone heard Aliya exclaim, they showed surprised expressions before turning serious and saying together,

"Where is he, lets go",

Amongst them, even Tim stood up shakily as he said,

"We need to go fast, bro is in danger and we need to help him",

Seeing Tim's resolve made everyone want to help Ray even more as they turned to Aliya for directions.

Seeing everyone looking up at her, Aliya nodded as she then led everyone to where Ray was.
