Ellen, as the most powerful anong them, shielded the students.
Although Bernard is using his summon and the man with the dark hood is also doing so, they were flung into the corridors.
Same happened with Zypher, and with the pain receptors at the highest peak, his body is like a door with no oil being slammed shut: his body is creaking, a droplet of blood flowing down his nose.
Behind the shield, he saw the door open, and a huge teddy bear went out of the door.
The bear is colored cream, and it was so fluffy to look at. It's emotionless face is cute to look at.
And what's cuter is the girl that hugs its neck, while the hands of the bear is supporting her from behind.
She is in a packstrap carry but the hands of the bear is like her seat.
"Congratulations on your Golem."
Irene made a peace sign and smiled.
She then walked towards Zypher. The bear suddenly knelt down, and she jumped up.
"Lo and behold, Al-Bear-t."
Hearing this, Zypher's brow twitched.
"Did you just..?"
"Yes, I made a pun-ny (funny) name."
Zypher stopped talking.
"I'm just a cute girl so please bear--"
"Stop, it's like a plastic is being rubbed on my bones."
"HAHAHAHA."
Irene laughed.
"Hey, you're next."
Ellen said as she pointed towards the door. Seeing this, Zypher walked inside and waved to Irene. She waved back as the door closed on him.
Inside the cramped and dim room, Zypher looked at the shining circle in the middle.
Now, he has seen all the summons, he decided to lock the door.
Smiling in relief, he went back to the circle.
Looking at it, it has five stacks of circle: the Summoning Circle, Energy Absorber Circle, Energy Filter, Restoration Circle and the Amplification Circle.
And although the magic circle has five, the room has many other ones, and this is the first time in this life that Zypher saw an intricate room, although small.
He then walked over the magic circle, and stood at the middle of it.
Popping out the bottle that Neri gave her, he took in one pill.
Suddenly, all the restrictions in his body that was caused by the Frozen Seal is negated.
Zypher smiled as he took his own filter, and started filtering the energies from the room.
After a minute, he has a pool of 50% Pure energies, and he decided to pour it to the magic circle.
The magic circle then, began to spin wildly, as the energy began to circulate inside the circle.
But then, a mishap occured.
Cracks suddenly appeared from the Restoration Circle.
Seeing this, Zypher was shocked. He then decided to filter mana in one go.
BRRRRR!
The mana started to produce sounds as it was processed in a fast manner, but the downside is, the purity is deteriorating, slowing down his process, and his body is also reacting.
The warmth of the pill, plus the sudden impact of the Frozen Seal, is clashing inside his body.
But he has to stop it, because an explosion can happen anytime, and the explosion this time, will not just be a light, but can destroy this very room.
Upon accepting the mana, Zypher then decided to write the same formula and magic circle, plus the runic expressions on the restoration circle.
Although he was expert on this in his past life, the him now is so weak, that his focus wa waning at the moment.
What made him rewarded was the notifications that popped up after.
[Intelligence stats was turned into Wisdom Stat.]
[Wisdom Stat - (Intelligence x 3); (Dexterity x 2).]
[Wisdom Stat +1]
[Wisdom Stat +1]
[Wisdom Stat +1]
....
A few Wisdom Stat points rained upon him, making his hard work pay off, but the problem is still there.
Using his newfound stats, he created the magic circle with precision to details, but he added one more tweak.
Writing the five runes, he arranged it in one Runic Expression.
And with that, he added some more runes in the middle to create a formula on the magic circle.
He then stacked it over the Restoration Circle he made, and then, he decided to make another one.
"DEFENSE!"
He said as the rune of Defense was created. Following what he did to the five runes, he created a defense magic circle.
He then stacked it, and with a little bit of magic, he lined it up to the now deteriorating Restoration Circle.
One chance.
He has one chance to change the magic circles he made to the not functioning one.
The energies were having a loop in the circles, and it goes in loops within five seconds.
There are eight loops. That it will pass by, and now, it is currently at the fourth loop. The destroyed loop is at the sixth, so he has ten seconds to change it.
But, if he hastily change it, it can disrupt the flow, making the magic circle explode in his own face.
He has to wait when the energies have passed through the Restoration Circle.
The flow of energies in the loops come at this sequence: Filtration, Absorption, Summoning, Restoration and then it is amplified, and it follows the route back so it can restore the energies.
And, with the energies he had, he has a small window, before the first energy pass by Summoning and before it arrived at Restoration; and the last energy that passed by Restoration before arriving at Summoning.
Zypher looked at it intently, sweat is covering his face, but he dared not to take his eyes off.
As the first energy passed by Restoration towards Amplification, he started counting in his head.
Five seconds.
This is the time he has to save himself.
As it passed through amplification, it began the strengthening of the energies.
Four seconds.
The energies went down the Restoration again, to restore because it was consumed by the Amplification.
Three seconds.
The first energy passed through, as well as the first quartile.
Two seconds.
It now arrived at the Filtration Circle, ready to loop back to the sixth loop.
The third quartile of energies has passed through the Restoration, and only a few more left.
One second.
The energies are now back at the Summoning Circle, ready to take on the sixth loop on the Restoration Circle.
"NOW!"
Zypher shouted as he removed the Restoration Circle and replaced it with the three circles he created.
