The S Classes That I raised:Geunseo( 근서) 218+

Chapter 268: sixth

"The rupture in the sky was vivid. Day and night stood facing each other. It was an unreal sight. Silently, without a single sound, I watched as the day continued to fracture, unable to move a muscle.

It felt like a nightmare creeping in during broad daylight. The sensation of a monster that should only emerge at night, when one falls asleep, lifting its head under the sunlight, sent shivers down my spine.

There was no thought of needing to react. Beyond mere fear, it seemed to progress straight to resignation. As the day shattered, the night grew even darker. Pieces of blue sky, white clouds, and fragments of sunlight fell intermittently, then disappeared.

Beyond that, stars twinkled. The fear of not knowing what lurked within the countless twinkles tightened around my heart. And then...

Clang—

The metallic sound rang out. It was a familiar tone. What extended was not golden but silver. The pale moonlight began to descend from the sky to the ground. Dozens of silver chains.

"Hyung!"

Yoo Hyun blocked my path, reaching out his arm. While others, including Yerim and Peace, even SSS-grade monsters, instinctively protected their vital spots, my brother shielded me. It was astonishing and awakening at the same time. But that didn't mean we could do anything about it.

"Yoo Hyun, ugh!"

A chain lightly pierced through Yoohyun's arm, tearing through his leg diagonally. Another chain grazed past his left arm. Just that left tears in clothes and deep wounds resembling claw marks. The smell of blood poured in from all sides. At the same time, the teacher's skill signaled danger.

No fatal injuries. But there was not a single person without wounds. In a very short time, everyone was battered. Limbs were torn apart, and I felt as if all my limbs were caught in chains.

"You can't use healing skills with the chains still in place!"

Noah's shout echoed. Yoohyun swung his sword. With a loud noise, the broken blade flew off. Not a single flaw appeared on the silver chains. Instead, wounds only became more agitated due to the recoil.

There was no way to escape, like insects firmly bound in a spider's web. Yoohyun's eyes shook and then sank heavily.

- Yoohyun!

The swordless arm reached towards the chain-pierced arm. Irin protruded and grabbed the sword, surprised me,  I also grabbed my brother, astonished.

"What are you trying to do!"

"Hyung needs to run away right now! We can die, but you can't!"

At Yoohyun's shout, Yerim also looked back at me in surprise.

"But, still! Can't Noah move you away!"

To my words, Noah, who was behind, answered in confusion.

"I can't use spatial movement skills! The space here is distorted... and the connection with the mana hole is severed!"

"Please use healing skills after cutting off the arm to remove the chain."

"Hey!"

- Yoohyun, irin will take Hyung!

Irin grew rapidly and wrapped around me. Damn it, but even if I escape from here, what's next? Why is  newbie silent? Who on earth is the owner of these chains!

"Irin, stop! It's pointless for me to escape alone! If Yoohyun dies, you'll disappear too!"

Even if I tried to save my life right now, how long could I last alone? Irin hesitated, and Yooyun bit his lip. The night was spreading, covering not only our heads but also the entire city. As sunlight receded, darkness grew deeper.
