Extra Demon: Sacred Academy of Light-Chapter 150: Depth of the clearings

"Very good," Evelyn also nodded in agreement.

"All gathered!" the professor's soft voice reached everyone, carrying a chill that made the students shiver slightly. They formed a circle around her as she snapped her fingers to get their attention. "We will spend the night in this place, for now."

The crystalline waters stirred, and the mermaid emerged. With an adorable cry, she raised her hands. The waters became turbulent, and from them surfaced a massive fish with shining silver scales. Once it hit the ground, the fish flailed desperately, trying to return to the water—until an ice spike pierced its head, leaving it completely still after a brief shudder.

"This is a gift from Miss Shyp," said the professor.

The beautiful mermaid smiled.

"Bon appétit!" she said before disappearing back into the water.

The fish had the same glow as the students, but its shine was much denser and more concentrated. It measured almost five meters long and three meters thick—huge, more than enough for everyone.

Evelyn held a finger to her lips as she stared at the fish, as if she might devour it at any moment.

The night was very pleasant. Everyone gathered around a large bonfire while the fish floated in the air, cooking slowly over the flames. The students laughed, talked, and shared their experiences of meditating underwater. The atmosphere was warm and joyful amid the autumn forest.

The landscape changed completely. They now found themselves in a strange blend of the three biomes they had previously crossed. Each coexisted in delicate balance without affecting the others—a breathtaking sight that left them speechless.

The depth of the Beastly Glades was something else, as if it were an entirely different world. Above, two suns lit the sky—one smaller than the other. Though they were somewhat close together, the temperature remained perfectly stable—not too hot, not too cold. What made the Beastly Glades truly impressive were the massive chunks of land floating in the brilliant blue sky. Each one stretched more than five kilometers across, some stacked above others. It was a magnificent sight.

"Welcome!"

As we ventured deeper into the Beastly Glades, we encountered a bear. It was small—no taller than a meter—with intelligent eyes, sitting and watching us with curiosity. It was the smallest creature we had seen so far, and it gave off the air of being just a child. The little bear stood up, and its eyes sparkled.

"The Queen has been expecting you! Please, follow me!" the small bear said, nodding its head. Its brown fur shimmered as it began walking ahead of us.

"He's so adorable," said Daniela sweetly, her eyes shining as she looked at the little bear. "His fur looks so soft."

Arthur glanced around. He could feel many eyes on them. Lifting his head, he spotted a squirrel with puffed cheeks. He also sensed powerful presences hiding nearby... but none of them approached—they simply watched.

"Don't be nervous, they're just curious. But don't attempt to manipulate mana—they'll take it as an attack," the professor's calm voice helped settle the anxious students. The weight of so many stares, especially from creatures of high blood and great power, was not something easily ignored.

After walking down what seemed like a corridor formed by massive crystal-like trees, the little bear lifted a paw and touched a stone in front of him. It glowed and split in two, revealing a vast cave adorned with mana crystals in every color imaginable. At its center, water fell from above in a perfectly straight stream.

"We need to use the dimensional portal to reach the Queen! Come on, it's going to be so much fun!" the little bear exclaimed with a child's excitement as he ran toward the water.

Walking behind the bear, they passed through the thin sheet of water and came to a stop atop a large, gleaming black crystal. The crystal was etched with strange engravings, surrounded by halos of light emanating from the nearby mana crystals. As the engravings began to glow even brighter, the black stone slowly shifted colors, dividing into various shimmering tones. The platform trembled slightly before lifting into the air.

"It's ready," the little bear nodded. "You can step in now!"
