Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward!-Chapter 256: Run, Aiden, Believe Me

IInstantly, thousands of viewers widened their eyes, staring fixedly at Aiden on the live screen.

But no matter how they looked, they couldn’t see Aiden opening his eyes.

"It’s impossible! I just checked the data. That Gnome Demon has a special ability to drag people into Mindspace."

"Without outside interference, almost no one can escape Mindspace! Right now, Victor and the others have zero chance to help Aiden. There’s no way Aiden can break free from Mindspace and return to normal!"

A long string of chat messages flooded the screen in seconds.

Seeing these messages, the despair in the viewers’ hearts returned, even stronger than before.

Earlier, Nellie had faced the exact same situation as Aiden. If not for Jenna, she probably still wouldn’t have been able to pull herself out of Mindspace.

"I wish Jenna could just use that skill one more time."

"Who could have predicted that Gnome Demon would purposely ignore Aiden at the very start?"

"Is there really no way to get out of Mindspace without outside help?"

One desperate viewer typed out in the chat.

"It’s extremely hard, practically impossible. You guys don’t understand Mindspace. Out of ten thousand people who enter it, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine sink into despair forever. Only one person has a tiny chance to slowly break free."

"And Mindspace is especially hard to defend against. It isn’t an attack skill, so it doesn’t lower the target’s health or apply negative status effects. It simply exploits the deepest desires and fears inside a person’s heart."

After reading this, most viewers stopped typing questions in the chat.

They had lost all hope; all that was left was despair.

Everyone knew that even if Aiden woke up, he would struggle to win against four Mythic Rank Demon geniuses.

The best-case scenario for Aiden was simply to escape alive.

As for Victor, Jade, Nellie, and Jenna, they were in no condition to even follow Aiden. They would only be a burden to him.

In short, almost all viewers had already accepted that Aiden and his team were going to die at the hands of those Demon geniuses.

The only ones still holding on were the viewers from The White City.

"General Aiden cannot die! Absolutely not! He once said the war against the Demons has only just begun. He hasn’t led us to more victories yet; how could he possibly die here?"

"Everyone, just wait a little longer. When we were in The White City and the Demons suddenly invaded, we also felt there was no hope."

"But then Aiden appeared, and everything changed. He boosted our morale, created the perfect tactics, and fought alongside us. Not only did we stop the Demon invasion, but we also killed every single one of them!"

"General Aiden will create a miracle again! He must!"

Seeing the stubbornness of The White City’s viewers, some others felt a tiny spark of hope rise in their hearts.

They kept watching the live stream, but soon, that faint hope vanished too.

Because at that moment, Gaunt Demon Raphael had already started walking slowly toward Aiden, accompanied by Draw and Beliar.

Meanwhile, Vine Demon Loros used his vines to bind the heavily injured Victor and the others.

Nellie tried to fight back, but her condition was terrible. Facing the black vines that moved as fast as lightning, she couldn’t dodge even once.

Soon, Nellie met the same fate as Victor, bound tight by the black vines, completely unable to move.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with reluctance and hope, and screamed toward where Aiden was standing:

"Captain, you’re the only one left! Captain Aiden, if you can wake up, I’ll..."

Nellie didn’t finish her sentence. Her mouth suddenly stretched wide, her expression froze, and her eyes widened with an indescribable shock.

Because she saw that Aiden had actually slowly opened his eyes!

"Captain woke up!"

Victor shouted with excitement.

The other contestants quickly turned to look at Aiden.

At that moment, the heavy rain that had been falling since they entered the frontline battlefield suddenly stopped.

The gloomy clouds in the sky scattered rapidly. Warm, bright sunlight fell directly onto Aiden.

From a distance, Aiden looked as if he were glowing.

Gnome Demon Beliar widened his tiny, bean-sized eyes and stared fixedly at Aiden’s cold gaze, whispering almost involuntarily:

"No, this isn’t possible. Without outside help, he can’t break free from Mindspace!"

"Loros, did you use your vines to attack Aiden?"

Vine Demon Loros immediately replied:

"No, I just used the vines to form a cage, isolating him from the outside world!"

"Stop overthinking it. There’s only one human left. How can he possibly be our match?"

Without any hesitation, Vine Demon Loros instantly commanded the black vines forming the cage to shoot straight at Aiden.

However, before those black vines could even touch the hem of Aiden’s clothes, his figure suddenly vanished right there on the spot.

"Where did he go?" Demon Loros spun his head around, looking everywhere.

He thought Aiden had just used a teleportation skill, but after looking around, he still couldn’t find Aiden.

Just then, Vine Demon Loros suddenly felt a sharp pain rip through his body.

He suddenly turned his head toward where Victor and Nellie were standing.

Aiden was already there, having appeared without them noticing. He fired dozens of golden arrows at the black vines.

The arrows were incredibly powerful; they pierced straight through the vines Loros was controlling.

"He’s there!" Loros didn’t hesitate. He immediately recalled the rest of his vines.

These black vines were part of his own body. If Aiden kept attacking them, his health would drop significantly.

"Hmph, don’t worry too much. My Despair Zone is still active; they can’t escape." Gaunt Demon Raphael slowly turned his body, a confident look on his face as he stared at Aiden.

He continued, "The fact that you rushed to save your allies as soon as you woke up proves you know you can’t beat us alone. You need your team’s Strength."

"Unfortunately, you saved a bunch of useless people. Now, instead of helping you, they’ll just become a burden!"

Aiden remained expressionless.

First, he spoke softly to Nellie, who was still able to move slightly:

"Victor is your responsibility now. Take him and the others back and find a safe place to hide."

Nellie took a deep breath. Surprise flashed in her eyes as she looked at Aiden, but it quickly faded, replaced by deep worry.

She glanced quickly at Victor and the others, then looked down, gritting her teeth.

"Don’t worry about us. You’re still in good condition; run and escape now!"

"We can’t beat those Demon geniuses. They’re barely hurt and at their peak power."

"Run, Aiden!"

Victor weakly extended his good arm, picked up a rusty rebar lying on the ground, and pointed it at his own heart.

He smiled, struggling to speak:

"Captain, you go. Nellie is right.Our fight was never going to happen anyway, but if it did, I know I would have won."

"I will win."

Victor didn’t want to die in the hands of a Demon.

Jade, Jordan, and Cici also looked at Aiden. They said nothing, but their eyes were filled with urgency.

No one in the arena was stupid; they all knew what kind of danger Aiden faced.

Besides, these injured people might just become pawns for the Demons, putting Aiden in an even worse position.

So when Nellie told Aiden to abandon them and leave, no one objected.

"Captain, remember to get revenge for us. Kill as many damn Demons as you can," Jordan said in a weak voice.

He felt his eyelids were incredibly heavy. He was exhausted and just wanted to close his eyes and sleep.

Suddenly, a bright white light erupted from the staff in Aiden’s hand and fell upon Jordan.

Light Healing Spell!

Aiden hadn’t used this skill in a long time because his fights usually ended too quickly to need it.

He had faced many opponents who were barely hurt, so he rarely had the need to heal anyone.

Because of this, he had ignored the skill, leaving it stuck at Platinum Rank.

With the healing from Light Healing Spell, Jordan’s condition improved significantly.

Aiden saw the urgency in Victor and the others’ eyes. He took a deep breath and slowly turned around to face Gaunt Demon Raphael, Draw, Beliar, and Vine Demon Loros.

Aiden spoke slowly: "I apologize. It’s my fault."

"I wasted some time and let those damn Demons live just a few seconds longer."

"Please wait a little longer. Once I deal with them, I’ll get you out of here."

Hearing this, Victor and the others froze for a moment.

Nellie spoke again: "Aiden, the four of us can’t escape. You should..."

Before she could finish, Aiden’s voice cut in.

"Trust me."

Nellie’s pale lips trembled slightly. She heard the confidence and certainty in his voice.

She said nothing more. Instead, she nodded firmly, burning the image of Aiden standing in front of her into her memory.

"Ready to meet your end?"

Aiden slowly raised the the Abyssthe Flame Demon staff in his hand, pointing it directly at Raphael.
