Chapter 298: Chapter 297: Biohazard?!
The one who screamed, was a male student from Deep Blue Castle who tried to help Barbara up.
This student had been pursuing Barbara and, seeing her hurt, felt intense pain. He was trying to help Barbara to find a wizard from Deep Blue Castle for treatment. Unexpectedly, the object of his pursuit—Barbara—suddenly turned gray, and the next moment, like a wild beast that had lost its reason, she clung to his head and fiercely bit into his neck.
The student felt a sharp pain as a large amount of blood was drawn from his body, followed by a cold, unknown liquid being injected back into his veins.
This… this is…
The student cried out, then his consciousness began to blur, his brain occupied by an uncontrollable craving for blood.
“Meng Ke, what are you doing!”
The student heard his companion calling his name, his body involuntarily launched forward, and then he knew nothing.
From a distance, Richard saw Barbara bite one of her companions for several seconds. After she let go, the bitten companion swiftly lunged out and bit the others. Because they were unprepared, in just a short time, the students from Deep Blue Castle who tried to help Barbara were all bitten, the incident was so brief that the teachers from White Stone Tower, who maintained order, couldn’t react in time.
“You!” The teachers of White Stone Tower looked at the clearly abnormal students from Deep Blue Castle, their faces filled with confusion and caution, obviously they had never experienced such a thing.
However, the bitten students from Deep Blue Castle hesitated not at all; they lunged at the teachers of White Stone Tower.
The teachers of White Stone Tower quickly released Spell, using surging air to knock several people away, but others lunged at him from different directions.
The teachers of White Stone Tower had to keep releasing Spell because they could not determine exactly what was happening, and dared not use force, simply keeping on repelling them repeatedly. Originally their energy was not very strong, being merely the weakest among the official wizards—low-level first-level wizards, which is why they were assigned to interact with students and maintain order on the stage.
Under the relentless attack of the Deep Blue Castle’s students on the stage, the teacher’s face from White Stone Tower gradually began to sweat. With a “bang,” another lunging student was knocked back. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he felt a weight on his back; a student from Deep Blue Castle had circled to his back and lunged at him, biting at his neck.
“Damn it!”

Enraged, the teacher from White Stone Tower truly ignited, deciding to teach the students from Deep Blue Castle a harsh lesson. As for whether it would cause conflict between White Stone Tower and Deep Blue Castle, he was no longer willing to think about it.
Just as he was about to strike, the teacher felt his thoughts become jumbled, and impulses that were not his own began forcibly occupying his brain.
This…
“Bang!” The teacher from White Stone Tower fell down, hitting the stage hard. Moments later, he quickly got up, his appearance no different from the bitten students of Deep Blue Castle, his face gray and his eyes gleaming with a craving for blood.
By then, everyone on the stage was infected, and they menacingly looked at the many students watching below, and boldly attacked.
The closest were the students from Deep Blue Castle who had not gone on stage, and they immediately suffered.
Facing their familiar companions, the students from Deep Blue Castle could hardly bear to strike, and collapsed at the touch, many more being bitten in the neck and infected.
Afterward, the infected targeted everyone they could reach around them and attacked, rapidly spreading the calamity.
At this point, the other students from the Wizard Organization reacted, releasing Attack Magic one after another.
Small fireballs, acid liquid, and wind blades continuously hit the infected, but their power wasn’t enough to kill the infected. Instead, it seemed to stoke their fury, making the infected attack more fiercely.
Many students swung longswords and short wands, fighting as they retreated. As time passed, one student after another was bitten and fell. The number of defenders lessened while the number of infected grew, eventually leading to a complete collapse and a massive escape. The infected relentlessly pursued, causing more people to fall during the chase.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Screams echoed one after another, like the scene of a slaughterhouse.
Richard watched from the side, squinting at the attacks of the infected. A thought flashed through his mind, “It seems like a reenactment of a modern Earth biochemical crisis. A reasonable explanation might be some highly virulent mutant rabies virus at work. However, the infection and effectiveness are a bit too strong; perhaps there’s some kind of magic involved. So… is this what Suo Men planned?”
Richard thought as a group of students, chased by the infected, ran towards him. Dressed in rose red robes, they were students from Rose City, all females with pretty faces, which were pleasing to the eye, but each one bore a look of panic.
A girl at the front, panicked and reckless, kept looking back at the pursuing infected and ran straight into Richard.
Richard didn’t move an inch, but the girl exclaimed “Ah!” and fell to the ground.
Her companions didn’t care or perhaps couldn’t afford to, they didn’t stop but continued to run towards the distance. The girl struggled to stand up but before she could, she fell within the attacking range of the pursuing infected.
The girl looked at Richard with despair and a hint of resentment.
Richard called out, “Give me a sword!”
“Ah?” The girl startled, then quickly handed over her sword.
Richard took the sword, raised an eyebrow, and noticed it was not an ordinary longsword but a special thin-body sword.
Such a sword couldn’t compare to the strongest among swords—the great sword—but it was much better than an ordinary longsword. If an ordinary longsword could be rated as three points, this one could be at least six.
Although called a “thin-body” sword, it greatly differed from the specially designed piercing armor sword. It was a type of great sword, designed for women and those of slighter build. Though narrow in width comparable to the handle, its heavy blade ridge allowed for much greater destructive power when wielded with both hands than an ordinary longsword.
It seemed that the girl had learned some level of swordsmanship but lacked the mental strength to execute it in the current situation. Otherwise, she could have handled a few of the infected.
Richard thought as he grabbed the thin-body sword’s handle and swung forcefully, slashing at the infected who was about to attack the girl.
“Puh!”
The sharp blade swiftly sliced into the infected’s skin, severing the hand tendons.
The infected groaned and changed the direction of its attack toward Richard.
Richard ducked, dodging the infected’s attack, then slashed even more fiercely with the thin-body sword, “Puh!”—directly onto the infected’s ankle, neatly severing the tendon.
“Thud!”
The infected’s body shook and fell straight down.
Richard’s eyes flickered, having figured out some data about the infected, he quickly pulled up the girl from the ground and ran.
