Suddenly all the scrolls that had been fused gave off a bright light making all the participants close their eyes. Cleon himself was quite surprised, he reflexively closed his eyes. Once he had opened his eyes again, he and all the participants were already in different places. They are all in a field surrounded by dense forest.
The participants were confused because in an instant they had all moved places. There were no other instructions, all they knew was that the second stage of the exam was a survival test. However, it all becomes a puzzle because they don't know the essence of the second stage of the exam.
Cleon was still holding the scroll, he was also a little confused like the other participants. However, unlike Ava, she seemed to be analyzing all the information she had obtained.
"I forgot something. "My name is Cleon," said Cleon, holding out his hand.
"I'm Reiga. "Nice to meet you, Cleon," said Reiga, who is now Cleon and Ava's teammate.
Ava just sighed, they still had time to get to know each other at a time like that.
"This is Ava, she's quite a genius woman," said Cleon, introducing Ava, who had been looking deep in thought.
Reiga stretched out his hand which was immediately welcomed by Ava.
"Okay, what's the next step?" Cleon asked while paying attention to the area around them.
"Isn't it obvious?" said Reiga with a very serious expression.
"What's that?"
"We have to enter the forest and look for food, we need a lot of energy to carry out activities that are not clear in a place like this," said Reiga with a big smile.
Hearing the answer that came out of Reiga's mouth made Ava take a deep breath again, Ava thought she would have a genius idea for a situation like that. But it turned out that he was only thinking about his stomach in such a state.
"Oh right!" said Cleon excitedly looking deep into the forest.
"Looks like I joined the wrong team," Ava said softly.
Cleon and Reiga looked united, they immediately moved without paying attention to Ava. They started to walk away from the open area and into the forest, it seemed that the other teams had also started to move with their own plans. When they started running into the forest, they began to feel something strange. Suddenly the ground around them vibrated causing them to stop moving. The three of them immediately looked around the area to make sure that the surroundings were safe. Suddenly there was a scream from afar from the other team, it made the three of them immediately alert.
Reiga didn't seem to stay silent, he immediately ran towards the source of the scream followed by Cleon behind him.
"No wait!" Ava shouted trying to warn them both, but they didn't seem to care. This, of course, made Ava a little annoyed and immediately followed their steps.
They moved quickly until they reached the source of the screams. The three of them were quite surprised when they saw an enormous beast starting to rampage and attack the other team. This was the first time Cleon had encountered a demonic beast of that size. The beast was in the shape of a mammoth but was different from mammoths in general. This mammoth had very large tusks and also four pointed horns on its head. Several parts of his body were enveloped with burning red flames.
The demonic beast seemed to have incapacitated several of the other participants, now it was cornering one of the participants. He seemed to be trying to fight using the magic he had, but the attack didn't seem to have any effect. Its large trunk lunged at it, sending the participant flying quite far.
The mammoth noticed that Cleon's team was not far away. The mammoth immediately turned around and looked sharply at Cleon, the three of them immediately got ready. But who would have thought that the mammoth attacked swiftly. A sizable fireball shoots out from the sharp horns on its head.
"Unlucky!"
The three of them immediately jumped and dodged.
"Duuarghh!!!
The huge explosion caused by the mammoth attack toppled many of the large trees behind them. Reiga without further ado began to counterattack the annoying mammoth.
"Unison Raid!"
The successive ice blade attacks released from Reiga rapidly towards the mammoth.
"Crangg!!!"
Reiga's strike hit the mammoth's body squarely, but it didn't have any effect. The mammoth only looked angrier and prepared to unleash the same attack as before. The mammoth horn began to emit a large ball of fire, seeing that Cleon did not remain silent. He immediately readied his magic to block the mammoth's attack.
"Fire Cannons!!"
Cleon released a fireball magic of the same size to counter the attack from the mammoth.
"Duuaarghhhh!!"
The two attacks collided and exploded with great force. At times like that, Reiga immediately took the opportunity. He moved closer to the mammoth and prepared for the next attack.
"Ice-Make: Vambrace!"
Reiga releases an attack at a fairly short distance, a giant ice bullet at high speed. This of course surprised the mammoth but he couldn't dodge and received Regia's attack directly in the stomach. It didn't stop there, Cleon had jumped and prepared the next attack from above.
"Comulonimbus!!"
A much larger bolt of lightning hit the mammoth directly, causing it to fall instantly. The combination of their attacks managed to defeat the mammoth which had skin as hard as steel. The two of them walked closer to the mammoth to confirm that it had been killed by the two huge attacks.
"This is too easy," said Reiga while kicking the body of the large mammoth in front of him.
"Is this edible?" Cleon asked while imagining them feasting on the meat of a large mammoth.
"Stupid! Of course you can't, demon beasts have poison in their bodies, you can die instantly if you eat their meat."
Ava walked over while shaking her head, the two of them were really crazy in a real fight. Suddenly the magic scroll kept by Cleon gave off a light, at the same time the mammoth in front of them turned into ashes and flew towards the magic scroll. The three of them looked at each other and had the same thought.
"New lead!"
