I Made Up Forbidden Spells, and They Actually Worked?

Chapter 256 The Academy Faces the Crisis of Annihilation

At that moment, a thought suddenly crossed Dean Bruce's mind. Although he would never learn dark magic, perhaps he could use some of the knowledge about dark magic to find a way to destroy the magic circle.

"Everyone, stop!" Dean Bruce shouted.

Hearing this, everyone halted their attacks, looking at him in confusion.

"Professor Dean, do you have a plan?" the principal asked.

Dean Bruce nodded. "I have an idea, but I will need everyone's cooperation."

He then explained his plan to the group. After listening, everyone nodded in agreement.

Under Dean Bruce's direction, they began to implement the plan. They combined light magic with elemental magics, working together to weaken the magic circle's defensive power.

The mysterious figures, seeing this, were shocked. They hadn't expected Dean Bruce and the others to figure out a way to break the magic circle.

"Quickly, increase the magic output! We can't let them succeed!" one of the mysterious figures shouted.

However, it was already too late. Through their combined efforts, Dean Bruce and his group finally overwhelmed the magic circle's defenses, and with a resounding crash, the circle collapsed. The powerful dark energy dissipated into nothingness.

"We did it!" Dean Bruce shouted in excitement.

The others cheered, celebrating the hard-earned victory.

The mysterious figures, seeing their defeat, scattered in all directions, clearly too afraid to stay any longer.

The principal walked up to Dean Bruce and clapped him on the shoulder. "Professor Dean, you did well. Thanks to you, we were able to stop this disaster."

Dean Bruce smiled and shook his head. "It was a team effort. But Principal, we can't let our guard down. We need to strengthen the academy's defenses to prevent something like this from happening again."

The principal nodded. "You're right. I will make arrangements immediately to enhance the academy's security."

Just then, Montaris Alice approached, her face full of concern. "Professor Dean, are you all okay?"

Dean Bruce looked at Montaris Alice's worried expression, and a warmth spread through him. He knew that although Montaris Alice could be somewhat persistent at times, she was also a kind person who genuinely cared about others.

"We're fine, Mrs. Montaris," Dean Bruce said. "Thank you for your concern."

Montaris Alice smiled. "I'm glad to hear that. By the way, Professor Dean, I have a request. I'm not sure if you would agree to it."

Dean Bruce blinked in surprise. "What request?"

"I found it!" Dean Bruce thought with a surge of hope. He had discovered a crucial rune node if he destroyed it, the entire magic circle would be neutralized.

He immediately waved his wand, sending a brilliant beam of light toward the rune node. With a loud "boom," the rune node was successfully destroyed, and the light of the dark magic array dimmed instantly.

"We did it!" Dean Bruce exclaimed, thrilled. He knew that the fire had finally been brought under control.

However, just as he was about to leave, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before him Morgana.

"Dean Bruce, you didn't disappoint me after all," Morgana said with a smile. "But do you think you can stop me with this? How naïve."

Dean Bruce furrowed his brows. "Morgana, what exactly do you want?"

Morgana smiled again. "I just want you to understand that the power of dark magic is far stronger than you can imagine. If you're willing to join us, I can teach you even more powerful dark magic."

Dean Bruce shook his head firmly. "I won't join you. Dark magic only brings destruction and disaster. I will protect this world with light magic."

Upon hearing this, Morgana's expression darkened. "In that case, don't say I didn't warn you."

With that, she raised her wand and launched an attack at Dean Bruce. Seeing this, Dean Bruce immediately countered with his own spell.

The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle. Morgana's dark magic was cold and sinister, while Dean Bruce's light magic was fiery and divine. Their magic collided and intertwined in the air, emitting blinding light and powerful energy waves.

The surrounding flames seemed to intensify, as though affected by their battle. But Dean Bruce did not retreat; he gripped his wand tightly and fought Morgana with all his might.

After a fierce battle, Dean Bruce finally spotted a weakness in Morgana's defense. Seizing the opportunity, he waved his wand, and a brilliant beam of light struck Morgana in an instant. Morgana let out a scream as she was sent flying backward.

"Dean, are you alright?" At that moment, Prolo Hawthorne and the others rushed over, their faces filled with concern.

Dean Bruce shook his head. "I'm fine. You all go and help the students. I'll handle things here."

Prolo Hawthorne and the others nodded and went off to assist the students, while Dean Bruce stood over Morgana, feeling a complex surge of emotions.

He knew that while he had succeeded in defeating Morgana this time, the threat of dark forces had not been completely eradicated. He had to continue working to strengthen his own power so that he could better protect this world.

"Morgana, I won't let you win," Dean Bruce muttered under his breath, then waved his wand to seal Morgana away.

Afterward, he joined the efforts to help the students, working with the others to extinguish the flames and tend to the injured. After a period of intense struggle, the fire was finally brought under control, and the academy gradually began to return to a semblance of peace.

However, the disaster had caused immense damage and pain to the academy.

Many buildings were destroyed, and numerous students were injured or had lost their lives. Dean Bruce looked at the devastation, a deep sense of sorrow and guilt swelling within him.

"I will avenge you all," Dean Bruce silently vowed. "I won't let a single one of those dark forces escape! I will find out what this dark force really is!"
