Outside the shallow pit.
On the battlefield of the Wedge-shaped Enclave.
The two Black Goats had become completely entangled, forming a huge black cocoon. Dense dark-green vines wrapped around it like strands of silk, exuding an unsettling aura.
The battle between Misty Captain and the other six Great Demons against the three deans—Alpha, Starry Sky, and Atlas—had already reached a fever pitch. Yet they carefully kept the battlefield within the medium-altitude airspace—the deans feared accidentally destroying the Black Prison's protective formation, or smashing that "Stinky Egg" formed by the Black Goats and causing the contamination to spread.
The demons had the same concern, though theirs went a step further. They feared that after the Inner Castle Wall was destroyed in battle, the school's professors would hold them up while their "allies" from the Dark Council became the yellow bird waiting to reap the benefits.
They had every reason to worry.
For at that moment, the "allies" in the demons' eyes were standing calmly at the edge of the battlefield, confronting Professor Yao without immediately launching an attack—even though only one dean of First University stood before them.
Professor Yao was quite happy to engage these uninvited guests from the Dark Council in a "sit-in war." So long as they remained an "exception," he did not care what strange plans they had.
After all, the Black Prison World was still considered the wizards' home ground. Though all sorts of unexpected incidents had occurred, the overall situation remained under the diviners' control.
The battle among the great powers was magnificent and perilous.
Compared to that, the fighting between ordinary Wizards and Demons seemed especially bloody. Near the foot of the Inner Castle Wall, in particular, the wizards' resistance was exceptionally fierce because they stood close to the final line of defense.
