Eunuch's Rebirth: I Reincarnated With My Manhood as the Young Master - Chapter 41: The heavens had been split in two

As soon as the space shattered, Gray’s eyes jolted open in the original world.

’Haa… haa… haa… I’m ba.. eegghh!’

Suddenly, Gray’s head throbbed with unbearable pain. It was a side effect of seeing the visions.

Instinctively, he reached for his head, but his hands wouldn’t move.

Gray looked down and saw his hands completely battered, blood flowing from several places, making them disgusting to look at.

Gray frowned. The Sunless Sword Art really took a toll on him.

“Tsk.” Gray clicked his tongue in annoyance. Then his eyes suddenly fell on the prospective students below. Their mouths were wide open, their expressions filled with disbelief—some even had a look of awe.

Then Gray’s eyes fell on Soren Valerian, the Left Guardian’s disciple. He too had his mouth wide open.

Beside him, the professors wore the same expressions. Even the masked men looked equally stunned.

Seeing their expressions, Gray flinched as he realized he had struck at the tentacle creature before seeing the vision of Julius von Legolant.

He hurriedly looked up to where the tentacle creature should have been.

However, as soon as he looked above, his eyes widened in disbelief.

’!!!’

The heavens had been split in two!

The sky, once covered by Abyssal energy, had been ripped apart by the sword strike, revealing the starry outer space in broad daylight.

In its path, the tentacle creature and the portal from which Nefarius came had been completely erased from existence.

There wasn’t even a spark of ash left, as if they weren’t burned, but wiped out entirely.

Gray couldn’t believe his own eyes. He was only supposed to sever the spell cast by the tentacle creature. However, he had completely erased its existence.

Gray had expected to cut off one of its tentacles — not annihilate it completely.

“Haa…” Gray let out a deep breath. Now he understood why everyone had shown such expressions.

Then he looked at his right hand that had been holding the sword—but the sword was no longer there.

Ding’

[System Inventory]

He checked his system inventory and saw that the Sunless Sword was there.

It seemed that when his hands had become unable to hold the sword, it had fallen, and after crossing a certain distance, the sword automatically returned to his inventory.

“Such a handy tri…” Before he could finish his words, a system window popped up before him.

Ding!

[The Sunless Sword has been overused]

[The Sunless Sword has been put on cooldown]

[Cooldown Duration: 365 days]

Cooldown? Gray narrowed his eyes. The Sunless Sword was already restricted, and now it had been locked from full use.

Well, this is understandable — the sword itself defies balance.

Gray sighed.

Right then,

A powerful punch shot toward his face. He sensed it, but the fist was moving so fast that he couldn’t react and

Bam! Crash!

Gray was slammed to the ground hard.

“Agghh!”

Guuush!

After Gray crashed to the ground, he felt his right side had been crushed—but blood gushed out like a fountain, and he quickly realized that it wasn’t just crushed; it was completely gone.

’!!’

As Gray’s right eye was destroyed, he looked at the man who had struck him through his remaining one.

’Nefarius…’

The man who had punched him was Nefarius — one of the former Great Evils, and a Sword God–realm swordsman.

Cough… cough… Damnit.

’Activate…’ Gray commanded the system window.

Ding!

[Celestial Authority “Heavenly Regeneration” has been activated.]

Shoooosh…

Gray’s half-gone face quickly healed, and his battered arms were also recovering, but slowly.

The faster way would have been to cut off his arms and regrow them, but Gray’s mind was too clouded to do that.

As he healed somewhat, he stood up, bloody.

“What are you?” Nefarius asked.

Gray’s monstrous sword technique, combined with his regeneration, made Nefarius frown. Gray was a variable he hadn’t expected.

Moreover, ever since Gray had appeared, Nefarius’s third eye had been shaking wildly.

Normally, Nefarius had only two human eyes, just like any other human. But a third eye had been given to him by his organization’s leader, a third-eyed being.

The third eye was also the reason Nefarius was still alive.

“Speak! What are you? How can a weak human like you demonstrate such techniques?” Nefarius demanded, but Gray shook his head in dizziness.

Nefarius clicked his tongue and charged at Gray, intent on crushing him.

However, right then, an old man with a long beard appeared in front of Gray and blocked Nefarius’s attack.

’Dean!’ Gray’s eyes widened.

It was the dean of the academy: William Ivan Goodfella.

With the tentacle creature dead, its spell had been broken, and William regained his mana.

It took him some time to channel it, and after that, he rushed to help Gray, who wasn’t a match for Nefarius.

“You’re going to protect this monster?” Nefarius shouted.

“You call him a monster? Look at yourself instead… he is a courageous fellow who will lead this era.” the dean proudly claimed, smiling at Gray.

The dean had found Gray intriguing, but after witnessing his strength and the courage with which he faced the tentacle creature, a wave of unfamiliar emotions stirred within him.

Nefarius clicked his tongue in annoyance at Gray’s words and slashed with his full strength. However, unlike earlier, the dean didn’t hold back and countered his sword strike with even greater force.

’Gravity Singularity.’

The dean used an authority.

Vrrrmmmmmm…

A strong gravitational force fell on Nefarius, slowing his movements.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

They exchanged a few fierce blows before distancing and engaged again.

Meanwhile, Gray was standing still, watching the fight with dizziness. His body was screaming for rest. And since his job was done, it was best to sneakily escape. If the chaos settled down, it would be hard to blend in with the prospective students.

Thus, he looked at the prospective students and professors to gauge the situation.

The five professors were battling against the five masked men, while the remaining professors and prospective students stayed at a distance, safe, since the lesser Soulborne had disappeared as soon as Gray had killed the tentacle creature.

Some eyes were on Gray, but he could hide himself behind debris and sneakily change into his former clothes to blend in.

Thus, as planned, he proceeded to blend in.

Meanwhile, Nefarius froze in place. His third eye, which he had received from a third-eyed being, was speaking to his mind:

– Retreat.
