As the ruse was exposed, the black liquid surrounding the planet slowly merged into space. The planet's entire outer shell began to peel away. A few seconds later, a gloomy hue spread across the entire planet, and in an instant, its color became an eerie deathly gray.
Anyone who had visited the Death Realm would have found this color extremely familiar. It was the unchanging color of the Death Realm for ten thousand years!
A strange aura of death instantly filled the air. The sunlight from the starry sky still shone in, but it carried not the slightest warmth. Vayne and the others stared at everything around them as it suddenly changed, and their bodies immediately turned icy cold.
This time, it was not merely psychological, but physical as well. That unbearable chill made Vayne and the others' bodies instantly recoil.
"What is this?" The Headmaster, who had seen and experienced much, realized what it was almost at once.
But after realizing it, his face filled with disbelief.
How was this possible?
This thing...
"Senior, what is this?" Vayne, who was standing close to the Headmaster, asked through voice transmission.
"I shouldn't be mistaken. This feeling..." The Headmaster gave a bitter smile. "No wonder it felt as though something had cut off the teleportation. It turns out to be the Life and Death Boundary."
Upon hearing this answer, Vayne instantly abandoned any hope of luck. Her face turned deathly pale.
A Death Star!
In the environmental combat course, the instructor had mentioned it. Although the academy had also spent an entire day explaining the characteristics of Death Stars and teaching a related course, even the instructor had said that the course was preparation for after their deaths. While alive, they would basically never encounter one—not even with a one-in-a-billion chance.
