Joseph, Kira, Beauty and the mer guards searched for Jude all around the school and no signs of him was found yet.
Joseph kept his black face, a fierce energy thrumming from him. He glanced around as the dark energy kept spreading around, visible energy waves blew around raising up dust and trees corroding the trees and soil fast, the trees withered and turned to dust in minutes.
Things within five feet around him died and turned to unrecognizable dust thrumming with a bit left over energy.
The people stayed clear of him because of the energy coming out of him. The piles of bones discarded in a pit nearby reminded them of that.
Also the energy is pure malevolent, something even more terrible than his mother's. They wondered how he got even more powerful because he had unknowingly released his aura earlier and they had clearly felt an immense pressure, thankfully he had lifted almost immediately or their willpower will be crushed and they will get down and worship him.
A sense of unease arose as they cautiously stared at him from six feet away.
A lot of bubbles appeared on the surface of the creek close to them. A row of mer guards appeared from the water and walked to where the rest are staying lining up orderly.
"There is no signs of him hiding within areas of water or inside water"
The head guard said after bowing.
" Ah!!" A scream of pain is heard from the behind.
Everyone turned and saw the dissipating flesh on a guard within the range of Joseph. The range has increased to six feet withering the guards into the a pile of bones in just seconds.
Everyone within that range has turned to a pile of bones ,except one that had jump away before the energy explosion.
The guard signed looking down at his 'arm' he had kept his eyes on Joseph throughout and had jumped away on time when he noticed the change but even with that he didn't go unscathed.
His whole left left arm had it's flesh and insides disintegrated leaving only the bone.
Beauty walked up to him and placed her palm on it a gentle white mixed with blue energy thrummed from it.
"Uh?"
She gave a slight frown realizing her own magic doesn't work on it.
"He is hiding which definately proves Winter is missing and it's concerning him!"
Joseph cold and hoarse voice crawled down their ears straight to their heart scaring it tremendously.
"Yeah" Kira nodded, her face looks a little paler usual. She can't allow Beauty to steal her thunder again so despite the malevolent energy, she stayed within six feet of Joseph releasing her own energy to fight of his approaching energy.
Due to the tremendous levelling up Joseph went through his own energy was stronger and powerful sucking up hers at a fast rate.
"Mm" Beauty hummed in response worriedly thinking about her failed energy.
'did he also eat some of it?'
"I can't feel him anywhere in the school" Joseph said cancelling the search spell he casted earlier.
"There is no way for him to go out of the school since he and his father are grounded in the school by the dean" Kira said.
" His father bought the charging cord as said and went back home. He also intentionally kept his house anti surveillance system down so we can check his every move inside the house" A returning guard reported after bowing respectfully to Beauty.
"Our research shows he is still in the school, the gate haven't reported anyone arriving or departing and the fence defence magic is still, haven't been activated all day" Another guard said after paying respect.
"Am gonna beat him to death!" Dave growled angrily.
Beauty had gotten him to run to all his brothels in hope of seeing Winter or Jude but he had been tortured instead watching the people enjoying themselves and he can't join in.
He them bowed to beat up Jude so bad his little white face until it is destroyed.
"Nkt to death...we still need him" Kira silently agreed with him.
Beauty cold and serious eyes floated to them, little bits of mockery appeared in them.
Kira felt the gaze on her and turned to look at Beauty averting her gaze. She happened to catch the mockery and disdain.
She clenched her fist and turned to look at Joseph.
'she really is a contender'
She took a deep breath and adjusted her mood, bringing out her calm and elegant aura. She had trained herself for this all her life! No one can snatch what she wants!
A cold light flashed through her eyes.
Beauty collected all the information and walked up to eight feet of Joseph.
"He has been found nowhere and there hasn't been traces of him hiding"
" I think we should just tell the dean"
Dave suggested hesitantly. He had felt the pain once and didn't want another, but if Josephina finds out in her own, it will be messier and much worse than it is. Besides he believes he can successfully seduce Winter and will be free from Josephina wrath.
"Agreed" Beauty said after weighing the pro and cons.
"I don't agree" Kira said elegantly although her voice sounds slightly shaken. She has receive more punishment from Josephina than the rest combined.
"I mean if we talk now we'll gay lesser punishment" Dave said anxiously. Everyone among them knows Joseph will listen to her more if Winter isn't around and he can't let this 'couple' jeopardize him.
"We can still find her before them all we need is Jude" Kira said firmly.
" We might die! You all know whoever enters that room doesn't come out and our parents can't help us" Dave raised his voice angrily.
'i can't die, I know that father won't hesitate to make that bastard Damien the future alpha!'
Beauty also nodded seriously. She doesn't have any siblings so she didn't worried about about that she just felt the pro don't outweigh the cons.
"We can't tell the dean. It will prove our incompetence and also our affect our parents" Kira replied.
Dave tug at his hair frustrated" or maybe if she finds out in her own then we are all toast!"
Kira refuted him making the latter even more frustrated.
Joseph looked up and stare at them calmly. The malevolent energy around him had retracted back like it was never there.
"We won't tell dean"
Dave rolled eyes angrily.
'this couple just wants to annoy me to death"
" But we will tell her if we can't find her by tomorrow"
" I made an appointment with him for tomorrow"
Beauty furrowed her brows lightly.
" So we will still tell her eventually!"
Dave said happily.
