68 Atrox’s assassination Cain, Levi, and Beelze were in the auditorium as Razmun headed to the podium to begin his class. There was a solemn expression on Razmun’s face as he stared at the cadets and waved his hand, making the virtual screen above him show two figures. The figures belong to a man and a female with blade-like armor covering their bodies. It was a sight that drew coldness in the cadets’ hearts. Razmun remained silent for a moment as he wanted the pressure of those images to affect the cadets. “According to ancient records, when Adam, the first Emperor of Godslayer Humankind, became a Titan, his power was so immense that none of the Gods from the Infernus Daemon Race or Legio Eldritch Race could face him. They could only run or die beneath his might!” The cadets were a little surprised to see how the class started, but none dared to lose focus. “It was a time of glory. Our Godslayer Humankind could have conquered not only the Gaia Continent but also part of the Atlas Continent located north of our domains. However, when the Dark Races found themselves cornered, the Atrox Overlord made his move. That man traveled a distance you would find almost impossible to comprehend and fought against our Emperor. Their battle was so destructive that it shattered the sky and sank part of the Atlas Continent!” Some cadets could not help but clench their fists as they imagined how glorious that battle was. ..... “Although our Emperor was known as an absolute powerhouse and maybe the strongest entity in the entire Aether World, our forces returned to the Gaia Continent after that battle.” Razmun saw the surprise in the cadets as he uttered those words, and he understood their feelings. For the Godslayer Humankind, the First Titan was a divine figure. Learning our forces pull back from the Atlas Continent after a battle against the Atrox Overlord came as a shock. “Our Emperor did not defeat the Atrox Overlord, but that did not mean he lost. The price for victory was too high, and the Godslayer Humankind was too young and could not afford it. I narrate this story so you can understand how mighty the Atrox Immortus Race’s Overlord was.” Razmun nodded after seeing that the cadets understood his message, and only then did he begin with the class’s core. “Today’s class will focus solely on the Atrox Immortus Race. Unlike us, their fertility is much lower, but they transformed that weakness into a strength. Due to their low number, each member of the Atrox Immortus Race had a much higher number of resources at their disposal. From a young age, they have a bio-armor that grows with them. Their population is roughly 1/1000 of ours, but the number of them that embark on cultivation and choose the battlefield path is also 1000 times higher than ours. One point that all should remember very well is that like Devils are crafty, and Demons are wild, Atroxs also have a tendency.” Some of the cadets could not help but tremble as they heard that. Every one of the people present was aware of what type of tendency the Atrox Immortus Race had. If the Godslayer Humankind was greedy, then the Atrox Immortus Race was cruel. “I can see that all of you are aware. The members of the Atrox Immortus Race are known for their immense cruelty against their enemies. If they capture an enemy alive, they will submit that person to unbelievable pain. Scholars had studied the reason for their sadistic tendencies for a long time and concluded that it was part of their culture. Just like we humans would feel greed if faced with treasures, Atroxs felt the desire to torture all those they consider enemies.” Although some of the cadets showed disdain as they heard the Atrox Immortus Race’s sadistic culture, Cain did not find it that odd. Humankind was known for its desire to punish criminals with harsh sentences in the Old World and even arranged chambers for people to see their executions. The Atrox Immortus Race is more open about it and with an innate predisposition. Of course, Cain would not defend the culture and mentality of one of the Dark Races. After that description of Atrox Immortus Race’s culture, Razmun waved his hands, making the virtual screen show the two figures without their bio-armor. Atroxs had the basic male and female biological configurations. Their skin was similar to gray leather, and there was no hair on their bodies. “I will now explain their weak points and how to reach them, along with the best battle formation to face members of the Atrox Immortus Race.” Razmun explained all forms of facing members of the Atrox Immortus Race in the next few hours. He was incredibly detailed and answered all the doubts of the cadets. Cain, Levi, and Beelze left the auditorium. The last one spoke just as they were about to leave for their residences. “Cain, I have a mission and would like you to accompany me.” Bliss would have filled the heart of any other male cadet at the chance of taking a mission with such a beautiful woman, but Cain was not like the others. “I am sorry, but I already have a mission in mind.” “Oh, are you sure you want to take a mission on your own and not with me?” Beelze showed a beautiful smile as she uttered those words, but it froze the next second. “Yes, I am sure.” Levi almost began to laugh as he heard Cain’s answer and saw Beelze’s frozen expression. However, when the woman glared at him, he hid his smile and walked away. He knew better than to bother her. After glaring at Levi, Beelze turned toward Cain and smiled again. She liked that he would not blindly accept everything just because of her beauty. “If possible, I want to know what mission you will take.” Cain did not have a problem revealing that information, so he told Beelze. “A herb collection mission. However, my true goal is to hunt Wave Beasts, as I need their fresh corpses to train.” Beelze did not find anything odd with Cain’s goal since a myriad of techniques required Wave Beasts’ corpses. “If that is indeed what you are after, then we can still work together. My mission involves finding a deserter hidden deep in a Tier 1 Danger Zone. I am sure there will be plenty of Wave Beasts in our path. What do you say?” Beelze did not rush Cain to answer, but she would not insist and was ready to look for someone else if this one refused. Cain considered everything for a moment before nodding. Working together would reveal some of his possessions, like the space ring he kept hidden and his Blood Refinement Art, but Beelze knew he killed Dimitri and Nira, so there was no real danger. “I will work with you.” “Good, we will leave tomorrow as soon as the Military Tactics Class ends.”
