Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby novel Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Defeating an Army

In the combat department lobby, more than twenty cadets sat waiting, their attention glued to the blank screen on the far wall. Eleanor’s friends cheered for her, but they were the minority. Almost everyone else murmured in support of Raijin Astrape Stormrider. They could hardly be blamed... few believed a werewolf could defeat a dragon, and certainly not a lightning dragon.

The moment Raijin entered his capsule, the screen flickered to life.

[The Tower of Legends]

Cadet Raijin Astrape Stormrider (10156601) – Level 0

Barely a minute later, the number shifted.

[The Tower of Legends]

Cadet Raijin Astrape Stormrider (10156601) – Level 1

A ripple of excitement spread through the crowd.

"Wow! As expected of a lightning dragon—he’s already cleared the first floor!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"That was so fast! Most cadets take at least five minutes to finish the first!"

Before the noise died down, a second name appeared on the screen.

[The Tower of Legends]

Cadet Raijin Astrape Stormrider (10156601) – Level 1

Cadet Eleanor Elizabeth Raynor (10156659) – Level 0

Some raised their brows at the new addition, but their focus quickly returned to Raijin. Another minute later, his rank climbed again.

Level 2.

Level 3.

The numbers kept climbing, and with each ascension the crowd grew louder.

"Unbelievable! He’s not even taking a break!"

"He really is a dragon!"

Ten minutes into his challenge, Raijin had already conquered nine levels. Cadets gasped as the counter ticked higher. Word of his feat spread through the academy like fire. Because, there was another screen in the academy building showing the same results. Within minutes, dozens more students streamed into the lobby, all eager to witness his progress first-hand.

When he reached the tenth level, the screen lingered longer than before. Whispers spread, tension mounting. Finally, the number changed... Level 10.

The murmurs became cheers. "He did it! That floor has a troll, right? He still beat it in barely five minutes!"

Excitement buzzed through the air, the crowd united in awe of Raijin’s speed and strength. Meanwhile, Eleanor’s name still glowed on the screen at Level 0, untouched.

***

Eleanor lingered at level 0 until Raijin had already passed the tenth. The spectators in the lobby grew restless. Some sneered, convinced she was still struggling with the first challenge.

"How could someone so weak dare to challenge the Tower of Legends?"

"This is ridiculous. She hasn’t even cleared the first level yet."

Laughter rippled through the crowd. To them, Eleanor’s performance was nothing but embarrassing.

But inside the tower, Eleanor was seated comfortably on the beach, enjoying the violent sea. The salt wind tangled her silver hair as it whipped about her face. Two crocodilian monsters, groaning faintly, served as her makeshift chair. She hadn’t killed them as they were harmless enough to pin... and she suspected that once she did, the level would end, and this view would vanish.

She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, savouring the untamed beauty. Only when the faint countdown marker in the corner of her vision neared its limit did she finally rise to her feet.

"Sorry for that," she said gently. "I know you’re not real. But thank you for the company."
