5/5

...

"H-How…?" The elf girl looked at the glowing blue eyes in front of her with a look of disbelief. She could not believe she had been eliminated.

Bloed stared at her silently. A slight burning smell came from his clothes, showing that the spell of just now was not completely ineffective. Meanwhile, the metallic sand circling around him showed the method he used to defend against the pillar of fire.

The elf girl smiled bitterly and closed her eyes. One instant later, her barrier shattered and her consciousness faded out.

Pulling his saber back, Bloed waved his hand, making the metallic sand around him turn into a whirlpool that blew away the pillar of fire.

But almost immediately, he was forced to jump away, avoiding the arrows of fire flying towards his location!

"Lewana!" A human mage girl appeared nearby, crying out the name of the collapsed elf girl anxiously.

She was the person that fired the spells just now, a B-Rank mage!

Gritting her teeth, the mage girl cast several spells in quick succession, throwing them towards Bloed one after another.

However, without the factor of surprise, her spells were much less threatening.

Bloed moved swiftly through the battlefield, avoiding her spells narrowly as he squinted his eyes.

Around him, several C-Rank and D-Rank practitioners threw themselves in his path in hopes of slowing him down or landing a blow, however, Bloed weaved around them using impeccable footwork, not giving them the opportunity to land any hit.

However, although these opponents could not touch him, they make it impossible to close the distance between him and the mage girl. Every time he tried, he was hindered by a nearby student, allowing her to distance herself from him.

She was kiting him! At this rate, she would exhaust him until eliminating him!

Bloed narrowed his eyes, and a blue glow briefly flashed through his eyes.

Looking at the mage girl, he gave an order to his battle pet.

"Leto!"

Understanding his master's intentions, the metallic wolf turned into a metallic wall between Bloed and the mage girl.

The mage girl was surprised. With Leto blocking her sight, she was unable to see Bloed.

She hurriedly jumped away in case Bloed was planning some kind of ambush. But at that moment, a flash of blue light pierced the wall.

Then, a bullet of energy coming from Bloed's sniper rifle struck the mage girl, breaking her barrier as it left a trail of blue light in its way.

However, before Bloed could celebrate, two new strong presences locked on him.

Two B-Rank practitioners.

Bloed frowned. Looking around, he saw a sword-wielding demon young man and a bearkin girl approaching him from both sides.

They had arrived while Bloed fought the mage girl!

Furthermore, more and more students were arriving each second, rushing towards the battlefield!

At that moment, a grunt of pain came from nearby.

A few meters away, a tigerkin young man kneeled on the ground with a hand on his belly. He looked at the demon girl in front of him with a bitter smile before falling unconscious.

Liu Ying glanced at him slightly before turning around and rushing towards Bloed's side.

However, another B-Rank arrived at that moment, standing in Liu Ying's way and stopping her charge with a shield!

"Where do you think you are going!?" The shield-wielding young man grinned. Mana surged out of his body, gathering on his shield and releasing a blow towards Liu Ying.

It was one of the most basic warrior techniques, [Charge]!

But in the hands of this young man, this technique was enough to send Liu Ying back several meters!

Moreover, before she could land, another B-Rank appeared behind her, thrusting two daggers towards Liu Ying's back!

Liu Ying's eyes narrowed. In an instant, her instinct kicked up, allowing her to react.

Under the two B-Ranks' astonished eyes, her body suddenly disappeared.

Stunned, the dagger-wielding young man hurriedly looked around to find her.

But-

"Behind you!"

The shield user cried out, but it was too late. All of sudden, the young man felt a powerful impact on his back that flung him away.

*Bam!*

"Gah!"

After crashing against a nearby wall, the young man fell unconscious.

The shield-bearer young man gritted his teeth. He glared at Liu Ying angrily only to see her charging towards him.

"Stop!"

Pushing his shield forward, he gathered mana on it to use the 'Charge' technique again.

However, it was a mistake.

Because just before Liu Ying's punch hit the shield, a giant image appeared behind her.

It was her Aspect! The Chaos Titan disguised as a Black Knight!

When the aspect appeared, Liu Ying's physical strength became several times stronger. Crimson mana gathered on her fist, enhancing the power of her attack!

At the same technique, she used the technique Regina taught her.

"[Silent Touch]!"

*Bam!*

The strong impact bent the shield and sent the shield-bearer young man flying away.

And before he could land, a cat girl appeared behind him, looking at him with an ice-cold look as her two daggers aimed to his neck.

It was Aya! She had defeated her opponent and came to support Liu Ying!

Having just received Liu Ying's attack, the young man was unable to defend against her!

*Swish!*

With two crisscrossing flashes, Aya's dagger cut the young man, shattering his barrier and eliminating him from the battlefield.

"Nice one, Aya!" Liu Ying exclaimed, but one second later, her face changed. She jumped away together with Aya to avoid the attack of a new B-Rank enemy.

Bloed jumped beside them at this moment.

"We can't continue like this," He said with a serious expression. "At this rate, we will be tired to death."

Liu Ying and Aya nodded. Even although the three of them were almost undefeatable in the B-Rank, it did not mean they could take so many students by themselves!

In fact, they had defeated six B-Ranks and more than fifty D-Ranks and C-Ranks already, however, there were another six B-Ranks in front of them plus tens of D-Ranks and C-Ranks.

"Are we escaping again then?" Liu Ying asked with a wry smile.

Bloed sighed and nodded. "I don't plan to stay here to receive a beating, so we are using Leto again."

But suddenly, a voice reached Bloed's ears.

[My hero, long time no see you!]

Bloed was stunned. That was...

'Gina!?'

He hurriedly searched for her figure in the surroundings, but he failed to find the familiar honey-colored little girl.

[Fufufu. My hero, no need to search for me. Instead, you should escape this situation first.] A soft giggle reached his ears again.

'So it was not my imagination, huh.'

"Where are you?"

"Bloed?"

"What is wrong?"

Ignoring Liu Ying and Aya, Bloed waited for the honey-haired girl's answer.

And soon, it arrived.

[It doesn't matter no, my hero. Instead, you should find a way to escape..] The innocent voice of the honey-haired little girl sounded in Bloed's ears. [I know of a safe momentarily safe. However, you need to find a way to lose the students around you.]

Bloed smiled. He ignored the strange gazes of the two girls beside him and nodded.

"That is easy."

Then, he took two metallic balls from his storage device.

At the same time, he gave an order to the eye in the sky that just finished taking shape again.

The next second, a barrage of bullets fell on the battlefield.

"Careful!" One of the B-Ranks cried out and warned the group.

But at the same time, two flashes of light exploded in Bloed's location, blinding the students nearby.

When the light finally faded out, Bloed, Liu Ying, and Aya were gone.
