Chapter 416: Tower Defense (5)

"Sister!" Gina looked at the screen showing the situation on the second floor and cried out.

Seeing Oscar's sword cutting her sister's boy, Gina turned pale. Even if she knew that her sister could not die in the challenge, she could not help but be frightened at the thought of something happening to her.

Just then, Bloed patted her head.

"Calm down, she is alright."

Just after Bloed finished speaking, the camera showed Sara reappearing several meters away, completely uninjured.

Despite that, Bloed could see that the barrier protecting her was a bit dimmer than before. Obviously, she did not manage to avoid the last attack completely.

Bloed's face turned serious, and his eyes turned sharp.

'As expected, it would not be so easy…'

Sara was strong, and her stealth ability made her the perfect assassin.

In fact, even a peak A-Rank could be killed by her if he was caught off-guard.

However, her ability was not without weakness.

And the most obvious of them was her attack power.

In the end, Sara's mana was just at the initial stage of A-Rank. If a peak A-Rank focused only on defense, she would have a hard time if she wanted to defeat him.

Furthermore, she was now facing a peak A-Rank mage that gave his all to cast a defensive spell. Such a spell was not something that she could break in one blow.

Unfortunately, she could only attack once or twice every time. Otherwise, she would face the combined attacks of ten A-Ranks at the same time.

There was no way that she could avoid that.

At this moment, Sara's greatest advantage was completely gone.

Bloed thought for a moment before looking beside him.

"Eres, sorry but I'll need your help."

"Okay, brother." The black-haired princess smiled gently. "Tell me what I need to do."

Bloed nodded. He then looked at Liu Ying, Aya, and Princess Elwha who had already returned to the top floor.

"Let me explain the plan."

…

Bloed finished explaining the plan after five minutes.

The girls did not hesitate to follow his orders. Immediately, each one of them departed to their positions, waiting for the moment to start their decisive attack.

Meanwhile, Bloed stayed behind and looked at the screen intensely.

Suddenly, Regina spoke up.

"Master, is it necessary to go through all this trouble? There were better ways to take care of this situation."

Bloed smiled wryly.

Just like Regina said, there were better ways to go through today's challenge. If Bloed wanted, he could stop [Call of the Wild] completely without the girls having to fight.

Hell, just the tower's energy barrier could stop the attacks of a demigod for a while. If Bloed activated it, there was no way that the members of [Call of the Wild] could break it before two hours.

And that was not the only method that he could use. Bloed had not told the other members about it, but the tower had more defensive mechanism than the ones he had used today.

But there was a reason that Bloed did not use those methods to win the challenge.

"Not every time we will have such advantageous conditions," Bloed said with a sigh. "This is a good opportunity to train them. Look, just the fact that we found Sara's weakness today is a big win."

After saying that, Bloed stood up from his chair and grabbed his saber.

"Well, I think I should move as well."

"Mm? Will you participate in the battle as well, master?" Regina asked with a confused look.

Bloed smiled playfully and nodded.

"Of course. As the leader of Machine Revolutio, I should participate in the battle as well, don't you think?"

In the meanwhile, the confrontation between Sara and the members of [Call of the Wild] continued.

However, just as Bloed expected, the situation had reversed completely after the Peak A-Rank young man cast the defensive spell. Since then, Sara's attacks had turned useless. In fact, she was almost caught more than once.

Fortunately, Sara was fast. But even so, it was obvious that her previous tactics had turned completely ineffective.

'What should I do?'

Just then, Sara heard Bloed's voice through her earpiece, communicating her the new plan.

After listening to it, Sara's raised an eyebrow before nodding in understanding.

"I understand."

While Sara was talking to Bloed, the students of [Call of the Wild] continued advancing.

Instead of trying to catch Sara, Oscar had opted to continue climbing the tower. After all, the goal of today's game was to destroy the core that was being protected by the members of Machine Revolution.

In truth, Oscar was feeling a bit anxious. It had been almost half an hour since the challenge started, however, they had lost half of their members and had only climbed to the second floor of the tower.

When he thought of that, Oscar's initial confidence could not help but take a blow.

Currently, he was not as confident of his victory as when the game started.

At that moment, one of the students spoke up.

"Leader. The stairs."

Oscar was startled. Looking forwards, he could vaguely see the shape of the stairs through the thick fog.

Immediately, his expression turned serious. Remembering what happened the last time that they climbed the stairs, he looked at the remaining club members and spoke up.

"Get ready and keep close to each other. Be careful to not get separated."

The other students nodded. Just like that, the group started climbing the stairs to the third floor.

To their surprise, though, nothing happened.

Oscar furrowed his brows. He was not relieved by it. Quite the opposite, he became more anxious.

He felt that it was the calm before the storm.

The proof of that was that the fog had not disappeared yet. In fact, Oscar had the feeling that it had turned denser.

And his guess was not off the mark.

Because just then–

*Swift!*

Their surroundings lit up.

Oscar's expression turned stern. He hurriedly tensed up his muscles, ready to react at the slightest sign of something going wrong.

However, his eyes opened wide when he saw what happened next.

All of sudden, an enormous amount of energy appeared in their surroundings.

Then, the energy turned into a film that separated them into two groups!

"A barrier!"

Oscar's expression changed. He and the others did not hesitate and attacked it.

However, besides trembling slightly, the barrier remained firm.

Right at that moment, Oscar heard a set of footsteps.

Startled, he looked ahead, only to see a black-haired girl walking towards them expressionlessly.

"Sorry, but brother asked me to stop you here. So, I can't allow you to continue."

Calmly, Eres took out her sword and released her mana.

In the next instant, an enormous pressure assaulted Oscar.
