The World I Created is so Popular

Chapter 81: Spring of Rudera - 2

The Next Morning

One of the two entrances to the academy, the front gate, was guarded by security staff.

Behind them, dark shadows began to loom.

The moment one of the staff members, sensing something amiss, tried to turn around, something leaped out from within the shadows and clamped over his mouth.

"Mmmph! Mmmph!"

"Shhh..."

A figure covered in shadows strangled the staff member while keeping his mouth covered.

The staff member struggled to break free, but he couldn't do it alone.

Before long, his body went limp.

He had fainted.

Soon after, other staff members also collapsed, having lost consciousness, subdued by the intruders.

The first shadowy figure that had emerged pulled out a small, spherical communication device from their pocket and brought it to their lips.

Beep.

After a brief moment, the connection was established.

"Front gate team here. All targets have been subdued."

"Bind them so they can't move, but keep them somewhere safe," came the command from the other side of the device.

"We did not come here to conquer, but to liberate. All of them might join us, so no one should die."

"Understood," the intruder replied.

The assault team gathered the security staff in the front gate security office and restrained them.

"Move to the veil point," one of the figures commanded.

The shadows expanded, and several of the intruders vanished.

The Operations Room in a Remote Corner of the Academy

In a darkened room, Yeomhwang stood alone, surrounded by multiple screens as he monitored the progress of the operation.

"The back gate has been secured," a voice reported.

"Good. Well done," Yeomhwang responded.

Both of the academy's entrances, the front and back gates, were under their control.

The next step was the deployment of the 'Veil.'

This was a barrier deployment device to isolate the academy completely from the outside world.

The Veil is the most advanced isolation barrier currently in existence, but it cannot be deployed in reality.

It is a new technology designed and developed in Rudera, and the environment of Rudera is required for its deployment.

To deploy the Veil, the domain of Rudera must be expanded before the deployment device can be activated.

Yeomhwang glanced down at the small capsule resting in his palm.

They said if I channel my mana into it, the Rudera device would activate.

"North team, veil deployment device installation is complete."

"South team, complete as well."

"This is the East team. Installation complete."

Reports of completed installations came in one after another.

"West team, done here."

With the final report, the veil deployment devices were set up at the four boundaries of the academy.
