Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 289 289: End of 4th Wave

The battlefield crackled with intensity as Professor Zhuge faced off against the hulking Roar-level Beast, a seven-meter titan of sinew and muscle. The students, eyes wide, held their breaths in anticipation.

"Look at that thing! It's like a nightmare bodybuilder on steroids," one student whispered.

"Professor Zhuge got this, right? I mean, he's an Extraordinary Realm Genetic Warrior," another replied, trying to reassure themselves.

Professor Zhuge, calm and composed, initiated the confrontation. His eyes glowed an eerie green as he unleashed the Lantern move, casting an unsettling light over the area. The Roar-level Beast, momentarily blinded, stumbled backward, disoriented.

"Whoa! Did you see that? Professor Zhuge's eyes just lit up! Is that, like, a unique gene power or something?" a student exclaimed.

But Zhuge didn't let up. He swiftly sidestepped the recovering beast with a Dodge move, showcasing his agility. The students, watching the dance of combat, were in awe of Zhuge's mastery.

"Did you see that dodge? Professor Zhuge's like a ninja! I never knew our combat class instructor would be this epic!" a student marveled.

The Roar-level Beast, recovering from the disorientation, flexed its muscles with the Muscularity move. Its already imposing figure grew even more terrifying, but Zhuge stood unfazed.

"Muscularity? That's just... grotesque. Zhuge better have a plan for this," a soldier muttered, feeling a tinge of unease.

With a sudden Clap Wave move, the Roar-level Beast sent a shockwave racing toward Zhuge. The ground trembled as the shockwave approached, but Zhuge, with a calculated move, leaped gracefully over it.

"Professor Zhuge's like a superhero or something! How is he so agile?" a student marveled, their initial doubts dissipating.

As the battle reached its climax, Professor Zhuge summoned the power of hatred with his Spiritual Bomb move. A pulsating green fireball materialized, fueled by the beast's animosity.

"Is that... a fireball? Zhuge's turning this into a fantasy movie or what?" a student exclaimed, caught between disbelief and excitement.

The Spiritual Bomb hurtled toward the Roar-level Beast, striking it with an explosion of green flame. The beast howled in agony as the students erupted into cheers.

"Professor Zhuge's a beast himself! Did you see that finisher? Our combat class is on a whole other level!" a student cheered.

As the students erupted into cheers, Professor Zhuge nodded in approval from the sidelines.

...

The battlefield, once a chaotic clash between students, soldiers, and demonic creatures, now bore the aftermath of the fierce confrontation. The fourth wave of the beast tide had been successfully repelled, but the cost was evident in the fallen bodies that littered the ground.

Soldiers and students alike had paid the ultimate price for the victory. The air was heavy with a somber atmosphere as the survivors took in the toll of the battle. Fatty, Mei, Caleb, and their classmates surveyed the field, their faces drawn with a mixture of relief and grief.

Fatty's eyes widened as he took in the scene, the weight of the losses sinking in. "Look at all the casualties... It's like a nightmare."

Mei, usually composed, couldn't hide the sorrow in her eyes. "We fought side by side with some of them. It's heartbreaking to see..."

Caleb, bserved the scene in silence. "War always leaves scars, visible or not. We knew the risks."

As the students wandered through the aftermath, whispers of grief and disbelief filled the air. The casualties were not just faceless figures; they were friends, classmates, and comrades.

"I can't believe Jake didn't make it... He was always so full of life."

"Emma was right next to me during the final push... I never thought..."

The names of the fallen echoed through the devastated landscape, each one a reminder of the price paid for survival. The students gathered around makeshift memorials, where pictures and belongings of the departed were placed as a tribute.

Fatty stood before one of the memorials, staring at a picture of a smiling friend. "We were just talking about plans for the future... Now he's gone."

Mei, wiping away a tear, added, "They fought bravely. We owe it to them to make sure their sacrifice wasn't in vain."

Caleb, playing the role of a silent observer, nodded in agreement. The weight of loss hung heavily in the air as the students grappled with the harsh reality of war.

In the distance, Professor Zhuge and Commander Zenith stood together, their expressions reflecting the toll the battle had taken on them. They exchanged a solemn glance, acknowledging the sacrifices made by those under their guidance.

The news spread among the survivors – the 4th wave had been thwarted, but the cost was substantial. The victory was bitter, accompanied by the bitter taste of loss. Now, there's only the final wave left! As long as they survived it. They would return home!
