Leo's team bathed in monster blood while fighting the accountable enemies nonstop. As the combat progresses, their mana supply is depleting while their mana consumption intensifies.
Celine, on the other hand, is alone because she is separated from her squad and believes that if the fighting keeps on, her life would be at risk because no one can help except herself. Thus, she takes a more daring move to battle while attempting to rejoin with her team.
The fierce battle has been going on for about half an hour. Thus, they were breathing heavily while Monsters keep spawning endlessly.
Leo believes that if this continues, their team will be annihilated without ever facing the boss monster. Leo observes the area and notices Celine battling hard, as well as an unusual monster moving sneakily, and he senses something horrible is about to occur.
********
Celine is killing her way. When a small but swift Monkey beast appears in her blind place, ready to attack.
Celine is being warned by Leo, but the chaos on the battlefield prevents her from understanding what Leo is conveying. She was baffled for a moment, but then she sensed danger.
"huh?" Bang!.
The impact of the assault from her blind zone threw Celine 10 meters away. Fortunately, Leo steps in just before the attack is about to land on her. If not, Celine's life could be bleak.
"Are you okay? Fortunately, my [Fire Shield] arrived in time," Leo said to Celine as he appeared in front of her. "Be cautious because when confronted with many opponents, there will always be one waiting for the right moment; you never know when the oriole is behind."
"Thank you."
"Let's rejoin with them after slaying this little monster," Leo stated with a smile.
"What kind of beast is that, and why can't I feel its presence?" Celine inquires to Leo.
"Oh, it's a one-of-a-kind monster called [Blackfooted Monkey] that born in its race and has a talent for assassination due of its peculiarity."
"You will easily recognize it as [Blackfooted Monkey] because its feet are black in color and it walks without making a single sound; many people underestimate it due to its small size resulting in their death."
"How strong is it then?"
"Well, it is pretty weak in frontal attack, the only thing that it is good at is backstabbery when you are not expecting it," Leo explains the weakness of [Blackfooted Monkey] to Celine while his right lips move upward.
"Watch this," Then Leo attacked and killed the [Blackfooted Monkey] in one shot.
Following the [Blackfooted Monkey's] death, Celine and Leo reunite with John and Joanne. Leo orders a diamond formation as soon as they are back together, with Joanne serving as the vanguard, Leo and Celine as the right and left side, and John in the rear.
Sadly, The [Sabertooth Tiger] has finished healing his injuries. Then it let out another tremendous roar, which caused all the creatures to advance on Leo's team to retreat. Leo and his team were left feeling confused and afraid as the circumstances changed.
*************
Meanwhile,
Lilith and Raven are still keeping an eye on what is happening to all the students as the night wears on.
"Oh no, I fear the [Sabertooth Tiger] will eliminate them from your game "warned Lilith.
"It's ok" Raven murmured reassuringly..
"You don't actually worry about them, are you?"
Raven confidently laughs, "Of course, how could I be concerned; they are one of the top talent in the continent, you know."
"By the way, what do you think of them? Don't you think they can participate in the upcoming continental war?"
"Them? hahahha Don't joke at my expense; you're not kidding are you?"
Lilith stops giggling as soon as she notices Raven's solemn expression.
"uhmm. It's truly not a joke," Lilith said with an uneasy smile before adding, "I'll tell you the truth. Your student has incredible skill, but I don't think that's enough. They'll be nothing but a clown in there."
"How so? "
"You are aware that the world's top students with extraordinary skill will compete in the continental wars, and that there are many people with abilities well beyond those of your students."
"They may have a promising future, but they are still too young "she added.
"Indeed, that's part of the reason they're too young, but don't you think their name will be recorded in Annals of history as the youngest monster if I push them to win the continental wars?"
"And I can change them into a horrible little monster" Raven boasted.
Raven's word caused Lilith to click her tongue.
"V
By the way, You know that I'm looking for a suitable candidate to join my squad in the continental wars, so who do you think are good to be trained as one of the strongest demons?"
"Are you sure you're not kidding?"
***************
Seeing the enormous beast. "It's going to attack, be ready.. John, use all your defense support skills. Don't be reserved and use it all to protect us. You too, Joanne, use all that you have."Then he glances at Celine, implying that she, too, does not need to be reserved.
But, before they could utilize their ability, the beast vanished from its place and appeared in front of Joanne, assaulting her with its claw.
Joanne was propelled 15 kilometers away, and her body crashed through several trees until she reached the border. Her blood is rushing all over her body, and she is attempting to open her eyes. But then she went unconscious.
The beast's surprising onslaught left them stunned, even Leo, who has much combat experience, was put into a stupor as a result of the recent attack.
The [Sabertooth Tiger] roared again and its attacks continue. Celine is its current goal. This time, Leo and John reacted by casting a protective spell around Celine. [Fire Shields] and [Athena Shields] were used, but the beast bit Celine with its long fangs.
Celine is yelling tearfully as her body gets trapped into the big beast's mouth. All of her defenses are cracking little by little, and the effect of the shattering is hurting her.
"Noooo!!!!!"
The beast disregarded Leo's scream, shaking its head and tossing Celine.
The enraged Leo stares at the [Sabertooth Tiger], his eyes bloodshot, veins are visible, meanwhile, John is shivering on the other side.
