Chapter 75: Count Down

To Greg’s frustration, the two didn’t immediately head for the cave.

Xavier assumed that such a place could be the final area and that there would only be enough students to kill once the test was at its last leg.

So, they breezed through the enemies they were lucky enough to spot. Luca was practically playing Pin the Donkey as he tried spotting and killing based on his intuition. It was the skill of a well-ambushed person, and it was proving useful right now.

But what he didn’t know and couldn’t see were the dried-up tears of these defeated people. They were easy to find, not just because these two were skilled but because several alliances had been meaning to take them down.

They were serving themselves to these monsters who were just too happy to oblige.

On the other hand, the people watching the Livestream were either too silent or too ecstatic. Fans and supporters of the other nobles couldn’t believe how the two had taken down another set of 15 people in the last 6 hours.

But there was a group who could actually understand the situation. Marshal Julian Theron watched intently, looking for the telltale signs of Spiritual Power Imbalance.

If not for that incident, there would be no need to wait to identify the winner, but with the damage to Xavier’s core, they couldn’t be too sure.

While the spiritual fruits they obtained helped curtail the contamination, they didn’t fully solve the issue. But how could Xavier, who was in the same condition as him, maintain his state for this long?

The Marshal was right because, ideally, he shouldn’t be able to use his abilities to this extent. But that didn’t take into account the spiritual water from earlier or Luca’s constant guiding.

The viewers could see the other examinees preparing to mount an ambush against 004 and 028. They were hiding far away, using the mist as their cover while waiting for the rest of their accomplices.

"Prepare for battle. We’ll move the moment they get here." 006 actually felt conflicted about this. While he was aware of Xavier’s prowess, he just couldn’t understand why they’d need this many people to deal with 028 and 004.

"Sure, we’ll give you ten seconds." It was emotionless. It wasn’t a question nor a plea but a statement.

"Ten"

"Nine"

006 bolted to the side when something shiny caught his eye. He and his partner 022 rolled over to dodge, crouching low before realizing that nothing whizzed through.

A faint! _{freēwebnovel.com}

"Six." It was that voice again, and the count got them breathing hard. Why did it seem like they were the ones being hunted?

But because they were so fixated on the count, most students missed the movement of a missing person.

Luca appeared above them, suddenly leaping into existence. After distracting them with the weapons he had taken from the eliminated students, he instantly gathered three of the hunkering examinees.

"Keep your distance from him!"

This command from 006 roused the other students and prepared them to aim at Luca, only for a few shots to fire before any of them pulled the trigger.

*BANG!*

"One"

The beeping sounds came one after the other, signaling the death of five more examinees.

006 trembled but tried returning fire as he followed around the darting figures. What was worse was how 022 couldn’t even hit the stationary form, as if he was hitting a mirage or the bullets were just disappearing before hitting anything.
