Chapter 78: Flame
The Dean could be seen in his office going through a lot of paperwork, after a while he was done and he sighed as he just sat there staring into space as he was lost in thought.
After a few minutes, he stood up and walked to the Vice president's office and entered without knocking.
The Vice president who already sensed his presence didn't bother raising her head but continued what she was doing and asked
"What does our Dean want from me 3AM in the morning of a good day"
The Dean just shook his head at her antics.
"I would be heading for the Dragon Domain, the Dragon king has summoned me" he said as he sat down on a seat opposite The 'Blood Empress' without asking.
"Don't you normally reject his summons, besides you hardly leave the Academy" The Vice president said as she raised her head this time around.
"The Demons are moving this time, but in the Dragon Domain, I need to be there for whatever that happens" The Dean said.
"Besides, it doesn't matter if I'm here or not, you are already here, I'm just giving you a heads up before I leave" The Dean said again.
"Hmmmmmm, I wish you a safe journey then, I would handle things here, also how long would be gone by the way" The 'Blood Empress' asked
"I don't know when I would return but soon enough, if things end quicker, I would be back here much faster, so I don't actually have a date for my return" The Dean said.
Then he stood up to leave, giving one last glance at the Vampire before him, he then disappeared without bothering to use the door like he did while entering the office.
The Dean appear in his realm office this time around (the secret realm) then organised and handled one final thing before he decided to head to the dragon valley.
As he was about to disappear, he came to abrupt stop and just stood for there for two second, then he smiled and disappeared like he 'originally' intended to.
FOUR HOURS LATER
Anthony woke up from his slumber as indeed enjoyed his sleep.
He signed-in for today immediately he woke up, as he already allocated a thought compartment for just signing-in forever.

Anthony was flabbergasted by the numerous messages flashing his eyes, but before he could rejoice, another message followed.
[Summoning the Divine Flame]
[Creating Space time barrier to shield the room and hide information]
[The Divine Flame makes an entrance]
Anthony didn't even feel space and time move together to create a barrier due to his low control and mastery over such elements, but his Sense Dome was able to pick up some subtle changes.
BOOOOOMMMMM
Everythng immediately dyed blue and everywhere trembled, every single thing in Anthony's room was immediately set abalze by a fierce blue fire and it all disappeared like it wasn't there, even space caught fire in itself.
If not for the space-time barrier created by the system the world itself would have been destroyed in less than a millisecond with no life able to resist no matter what power they held to resist.
Anthony's entire being screamed death right now but he didn't move an inch as everywhere was literally dyed blue in flames asides from one meter around him, he had felt death yet again, first from truck-kun, second from Klaus and now from a Divine Flame.
Space time barrier shattered apart as it had no strength to hold back what was about to step out into this world.
A man with golden hair and golden eyes and eyes lashes standing within space with regal bearing that of a Monarch appeared, time dared not move in its presence.
If not because the space-time barrier was directly created by the system which was created by ???, both the system and space-time barrier would have been devoured without a second thought for the audacity of even summoning it, that's if the system even possessed the power in the first place, but the system was created by ???
just like the Divine Flame so they were both on the same side and the Divine Flame doesn't possess power to devour the system.
The destruction happening now was just because of the Divine Flame's presence not that it actively attacked.
Anthony's eyes never left the being standing in space, his souls and mind screamed to bow to this presence that just appeared and show respect, but the 'Emperor Demeanor' skill refused to bow to another power so Anthony stood there unmoving with his eyes glued to the being as his own Emperor Aura flared.
The being's eyes moved as it's eyes met Anthony's eyes, then it's eyes flashed and the being turned into a streak of light and entered Anthony's body and immediately bound to his soul without delay.
"AAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHH"
Anthony released a primal scream as his body literally caught fire but his screams never left the room, he continued screaming for hours as the Divine Flame bound to his soul, then his scream subsided and he woke up from his misery.
[Congratulation to the Host for successfully binding to the Divine Flame]
The message then disappeared, but before Anthony could say anything, a voice resounded with majesty.
"What are you congratulating him for, if he can't endure such little pain, he doesn't deserve us both"
Anthony looked up and saw a tiny being floating on the air by his side with the exact same face and figure as the being he saw before he started screaming.
Anthony instinctually understood who it is, so he didn't say anything, and he his eyes flashed as he understood how the Divine Flame was able to see the system's message.
He just looked around his room as the blue flames magically disappeared like they weren't there, but the destruction caused was still present.
Anthony shook his head, then he raised his hand and rewound time in other to bring back everything that was burned, since they were just basic things, it was easy to bring them back by rewinding time.
As Anthony rewound time, nothing happened, he frowned and wondered what happened.
As if understanding his thoughts, the divine flame said with a regal voice.
"My flames devoured everything immediately I appeared, you rewinding time to bring them back is impossible, once I devour something they are basically wiped out from time forever"
Anthony's eyes squinted as he remembered the first ability of the Divine Flame.
Then he sighed as he wondered how he would explain this to the Academy as he couldn't fix it himself.
[The system has decided to help the host this once as everything was the system fault for taking less precaution]
Next thing that happened everything started moving and appearing where they originally were as if time was rewound.
But it wasn't time that was being used, the system was using the element of creation to basically recreate everything and place them back like as if time was reversed but it wasn't.
Anthony sighed and just climbed on to his bed in order to get some sleep, his soul was went through hell and he just experienced some pain he has never experienced, he needed utmost rest, so he didn't talk much or ask the Divine Flame about anything, he just wanted to get some shut eyes.
He just closed his eyes and went back to the slumber he came back from but this time he went deeper into it this time as he drifted into sleep.
And for the first time Anthony missed class and nobody saw him for that day as he basically slept the entire day.
People knocked to know why they didn't see him today, but nobody replied the door, so they all left as they couldn't just barge in or break down the door.
