The Eternal Conquest Chapter V: A Lurking Shadow

This story might contain some strong language.
I got back from the trials, when holding the packet of Eruditisium in it, Zulius is waiting for me and Hadion with two horses.
Zulius: Yo, look at you, Bernice? Your shirt is torn quite badly, and your palms..
Me: Trial stuff, I just need some meds, where are we going, I heard school is resuming in the middle of this war, wut?
Hadion: School, now I need to go a LONG way..
Zulius: Yes, it reopened, only Rendora, most survivors go there, without caring about what school you are from. Some do not and was brought to Adamantria for safety reasons, do you decide to go or reside in Adamantria?
Hadion: What do they teach there?
Bernice: I shall go then..., since I am a student there.
Zulius: Survival and combat sometimes, I heard they mostly just let you stay for foodstuffs.
We arrived at Rendora of Northwind, when Atlas and Roger saw the bleeding on my arm and rushed to aid me. I tried to take my iron greatsword and use it as crutches, but I could not grip it due to my heavily hurt palms. I was taken to the medical facility for my wound to be treated. I was called to join the school group on phone. I took my phone that I have kept in my pocket all these time, I did it and rested there for a few days.
I got out of there and I was informed that I will be living at the older school dormitory. I will be staying at room 145-A, alone since Hadion, Atlas and the others were sharing rooms at room 106-A and room 107-A. Block A is the oldest of all the school dormitories and my room is at the very end of the corridor, and only a thin wall seperating my room from the nearby forest of bloodshed. The forest is said to be haunted due to execution of the nearby villagers by wither skeletons, and their bodies are stacking like mountains inside it, although all of them decayed but it is still a daunting sight to see.
Despite the demonic feeling of the room, I toughtened myself up and lived in it. My remaining salvageable school clothes were inside, they prepared everything. I put down my weapons and proceeded to take a bath at the small shower that I got, 'wow, good thing I live alone here, its so small' I whispered to myself. I went to bed after the shower for about 2 hours and woke up to a strange sound, it sounded like a tap, I felt as if I were being watched, I looked around frantically but saw nothing at all, not even a shadow, just a hanging light bulb at the celling.
I changed my shirt into my official school uniform because we have assembly, and changed my short denim to my school dress, although its kind of undersized. I walked outside with my Iron Greatsword on my back, as it is only my intact weapon. I walked outside to the field, alone... doing a few cartwheels sometimes just to distract myself from the thick fog that is trembling me. 
Assembly has begun, we stood at the fields in lines, our new headmaster, known as Lord Fergus has been elected due to our former headmaster Lord J.R.R Shrikethorn had been killed in the war. It begun with the chanting of our alliance pledges... 'we stand with our blades at hand, thrusting trough this eternal darkness, shoulder to shoulder. We arise from the dead to tremble the very heavens, and serve as the final batalion of humanity and archinity!' and election of a few occupation begun. He also said that the 5th and 4th corridor of the northern building is a restricted area, and guards are not allowed there.
'We will start recruiting some night guards for our school, any students or survivors here willing to be one?!' I raised my hand, and a few others did too. We stepped forward towards the stage as requested, we apparently can choose to wear normal clothes instead of the official uniform. We were sent back to our dormitories after that since we can only have 1 occupation.
I heard a knock on my door, I opened it to find out that Hadion is distributing the Eruditisium for research, they also shared me some of their work progress. I accepted it and began to work on it till nightfall. I found out that it can create elemental energies out from nothing. I tried most of the materials to make swords but it didn't work. Until I fused it with wood. It began to glow with blueish and pinkish colours, I placed it aside. It starts to dim off, I took it and placed it on my palms and it starts brightening again.
I began to think it requires soul energy to power it up. I placed it in my drawer and set off with my Iron greatsword to prepare my shift. My guarding place is the northern building 3rd corridor. I always station myself there at 6pm to 4am and the other guards called me the 'Dawnbreak Soldier' because I will also stay there and guard the place till daybreak. The first few days gone by normally until the fourth day, when Hadion and Atlas had also been transferred to help the night guards.
I am walking pass through the stairs when I saw a pair of blood smeared dress and crop tops being thrown out of there, I took out my sword and peeked from behind the walls and saw two girl guards dead inside, naked. I rushed in with my sword in hand and looked around frantically, after remembering that I should not have been here, I retreated back to the 3rd corridor and informed the other guards, I collected the clothes, their swords and retrieved their corpses.
We retreated to the northern security post and we began to think, what the heck on earth could do something like this. Our shift eventually ended and I walked back to my dormitory and keep working on the Eruditisium experiment and went to bed. On the way, I started to feel as if I were being watched from behind, when I turned behind, I saw a shadow peeping from behind a wall, I just think it was my brain playing with me so I just shrugged it off.
I quickly changed my clothes and work on the Eruditisium technology for my sword, when I got a knock on my door again. 'Its time for Metallurgy class!, go to class 2 Obsidius' shouted my warden. I hid the experiment stuff into my drawer once again and headed towards the class. As I see iron ores and cobblestone blocks prepared on our crafting tables.
The first thing to do is to craft the cobblestone blocks into a stone pickaxe, here are some sticks. We instantly crafted a stone pickaxe and broke the ores to obtain raw iron, we proceeded to smelt them. Instead of the old technic of two iron and a stick, we used a new way of crafting swords. Firstly, we melted them in the cauldron to form melted steel, and kept heating it.
'Now we begin to make our special steel. We add some molten gold into it, here, we prepared it earlier.' I poured the molten gold into the cauldron and the blacksmith wants us to pour it into the mold. I did it, we had done it, a new type of steel called Brightsteel. It is lighter and more durable compared to normal iron, but inferior to diamond.
We can take the rest of the molten Brightsteel and the mole back to our dormitory. I finally got back to my dormitory and started using the molten Brightsteel to work on the sword I desire. When I am researching on how to incorporate the power of the Eruditisium onto my sword. I managed to finish the Brightsteel blade with the Eruditisium infused wood piece inside it and a sword seath to contain my sword when I am not using it, I called my sword 'Decapitator'. My security shift came again, but this time, I would be guarding the 3rd-4th corridor stairweil. 
When I am on my way to the destination, there it is again, Joey's daily post on the school group, she would post a few photos of her everyday but when I looked at the pictures, a long haired entity can be seen in the distance 'holy shit, what the fuckin hell is that'. I placed my phone back into my pocket 'something is going on, could that entity be the one who killed the two girls earlier...' I started to panic about what is happening.
I saw it, the entity standing at my destination and started rushing towards me, I unseathed Decapitator and ready to fight the entity I was astonished when I saw its face up close, it has empty bloody eye sockets, a long tongue and soul piercing sharp claws on its hand. The entity pulled me towards it with its tongue like how a grapple would do, I sliced off its tongue and charged straight to the entity to land the killing blow, it teleported away before I could even do so.
After that, a few guards arrived and one of them got pulled into the forbidden corridor, I rushed towards her to free her, its Joey. I tried to kill that entity once again, got hurt by its talons when I desprately trying to hold on to Joey. A guard fired a crossbow arrow right to the entity's head and she freed us both, the entity teleported away once again.
'Please freakin remember that, your whole body is your weak spot!' shouted her. She introduced herself as Chloe, the nightguard stationed at the medical facility, she treated our wound at scene immediately, since I know how to make weapons already, I decided to gear myself up to combat this entity, instead of running away forever.
