Chapter 130: 6 against 1

Even though she was a Rank S, Zack hoped that with his full group, it would be possible to defeat her. In any case, ignoring any feeling of fear, he gritted his teeth and prepared for combat.

First, he used a convenient ability he had, <Information Transmission>, to send directly into the minds of all his companions everything he knew about the powers of the woman before him.

Then he used his <Mind Boost> to bring everyone to their best mental state and completely focused on combat.

And with that, the fight began.

The warrior of the team advanced towards Lara. In her hands, two shining claws appeared. And when Lara tried to defend herself from those claws with her shield, the girl cut directly through the object.

Her attack power was undoubtedly impressive.

At the same time, the boy with a whip tried to maneuver his weapon to hold Lara in place, wrapping his whip around the girl’s right arm once again.

Simultaneously, the team’s tanker used <Earth Control> to try and trap the girl’s feet in place.

At the same time, a girl with glasses used all her buffing skills to fortify the team’s warrior.

Their plan was quite simple: keep Lara still and defeat her with that woman’s powerful claws.

However, that plan crumbled in a second.

Lara activated <Advanced Beast Transformation> and <Strength> simultaneously, fortifying her body.

All her muscles pulsed, her gaze became like that of a predator, and her veins bulged.

Then she pulled her right arm with such force that the man holding her was thrown away. And with ease, she destroyed the earth prison that contained her feet.

With freedom to move, she dodged the first attack from the warrior on their team and landed a kick in the center of her stomach.

The woman was thrown backward and slammed into a nearby tree with full force, to the point that the majestic and enormous tree cracked, slowly falling behind her.

The warrior coughed up blood, and the light was slowly fading from her eyes.

Seeing that opportunity, Lara advanced like a beast, wanting to finish off her opponent who seemed to be on the brink.

However, before she could land the final blow, a golem appeared between her and the woman. Her powerful punch hit the stone being, almost destroying it with one blow. The sixth member of Zack’s group had been revealed.

Noticing the change in the scenario, Lara took a step back, shaking her hand, which was aching a little after hitting that being made of solid rock.

She soon noticed her opponent’s whip approaching. This time it glowed and cut through the air fiercely. Lara dodged with ease, but as she moved forward to attack that man, a large shield positioned itself between the two.

At the same time, the warrior was healed and was already advancing to attack her from behind. The girl narrowly dodged, but she couldn’t deny that their teamwork was admirable, putting her in a difficult position.

Once again, that whip approached her, this time even faster. At the same time, the warrior tried to attack her. With the two attacking together, it was possible to put pressure on Lara, but she was still dodging somehow.

It was at this moment that Marc rejoined the fight, causing a golem to suddenly appear behind her opponent, cutting off her escape routes.

Because of this, Lara’s right thigh was cut by a powerful whip strike, staining the ground with her blood. Simultaneously, she saw those bluish claws approach her face dangerously. But she managed to dodge at the last second, escaping with only a scratch on her cheek.

With a spin, she kicked the golem away and was already preparing to land a punch on the warrior, but once again a shield positioned itself between her and her opponent.

Lara didn’t give up and put even more force into her punch, forcing the tanker to take a step back, but he had withstood the blow.

At the same time, the golem approached once more to attack her. Lara didn’t have a single moment of peace, and this caused her to lose focus a little.

She destroyed the stone monster with a powerful kick. Meanwhile, she dodged another whip strike.

That said, she got distracted and didn’t notice Marc had recklessly advanced, getting close to her, and he managed to sink his knife into Lara’s back.

The girl tried to stay to attack him, but he immediately caused a golem to appear once more, grabbing her in place. And before she could notice, he dropped an incendiary grenade beneath her.

Lara destroyed the golem, but soon the flames completely engulfed her. She screamed in pain, activating <Regeneration> to recover her skin that had been burned.

Because of her incredible healing ability, even after the attack, she only had a few injuries. But the smile on her face remained confident, and her gaze was ready for the fight to come.

For a moment, everyone in the enemy group felt as if she were a war tank, and they were just soldiers carrying ordinary weapons. They could barely inflict any real damage.

That said, the warrior had already advanced by instinct and managed to cut Lara’s chest, who was still recovering from the grenade. Seeing the enemy’s blood spill onto the ground was enough for everyone to regain their fighting spirit.

It was possible to win... or at least they still believed it was.

And at that moment, Lara activated <Humbala>.

That was a skill Davi had never used because he couldn’t. It only took effect when he already had <Advanced Beast Transformation> activated.

It was a mystical ability, carrying the name of an ancient mythological monster. And its effect was somewhat simple: it increased the power and hunting instincts of a beast.

The thing is, the power increase was impressive. 250% to be more specific.

Lara’s eyes glowed, and once again she advanced to attack the warrior. The team’s tank, always very skillful, moved between the two, acting as a shield.

However, the shield broke. And she landed a punch directly to the man’s face, sending him to his knees. For a moment, the man even considered giving up, fearing that Lara would kill him with her next strike. That said, a whip quickly wrapped around him, pulling him away.

But in the next instant, it was the warrior who was on her knees, having been hit in the stomach with a punch.

"Wait, we don’t have to fight anymore," said the group’s tanker with difficulty. "We can pass this test without fighting each other."

Right after, the man with the whip argued that they still had an ace up their sleeve. And although she was very strong, fighting them wasn’t worth the risk.

Had it not been Zack’s group, Lara might have agreed to retreat right then. After all, using <Humbala > for too long would leave her unable to fight for the rest of the day.

But she couldn’t let that guy escape.

"I’m sorry, but your tournament ends here," she said in a cold voice, landing another kick on the warrior.

The so-called "ace" they had up their sleeve turned out to be a bluff, and one by one, they were defeated.

With a single blow, Lara took down the team’s support, and the tanker and whip-wielding man sighed and gave up without even trying to fight anymore. Soon, only Marc remained, staring at her with a resigned smile.

"I’m sorry, but your group has to be eliminated here," Lara said a bit more gently to the man, as she had seen him talk to Davi once or twice and maybe they were friends.

"This is a competition. If we had the chance, we’d definitely eliminate you," Marc replied with a smile. "But you’re just too strong."

Despite everything, he still assumed a fighting stance and tried to resist until the wounds became too severe, forcing him to give up.

The time he spent being led by Davi inside the rift and fighting for his life had helped him grow a lot. And even during this lost battle against Lara, he was still looking for new ways to better himself.

For those with courage, facing more powerful enemies was the best way to evolve. However, Zack definitely didn’t belong to this group. Once again, he had disappeared.

He activated his invisibility skill and fled as soon as he sensed that the fight had turned unfavorable.

Even before Lara activated <Humbala>, he had already predicted her victory and escaped. In that sense, no one could say he wasn’t the best, his ability to always guess the winner in any situation was what got him there.

However, cowardly traitors like him always ended up alone and vulnerable, for not having any power of their own.

And even though he believed he had escaped, the truth was that Lara was tracking his every move with her keen senses. Even amidst all that fighting, she didn’t lose sight of her enemy.

And, coincidentally, right at that moment, a monster appeared, growling and wanting to attack her.

Lara pondered for a moment; she had two options.

Her gaze filled with murderous intent, and she made her decision. She pressed a button on the case on her back, releasing the spear that had been there the whole time.

Then she shot her spear with all her might at the monster. ’Unfortunately’, she missed the target, only hitting her enemy’s shoulder.

And in an absolutely unexpected coincidence, the weapon traveled nearly 12 meters, piercing everything in its path, until it was lodged exactly in Zack’s skull.

The man didn’t even have time to react and fell dead to the ground.

Purposely murdering someone during the tournament was illegal. But the rules also contemplated the fact that accidents could happen.

For example, if during a battle someone was very seriously injured, didn’t give up, and therefore ended up dead, there would be no crime.

The students themselves were primarily responsible for their own safety at that event. And as brutal as it was, being an explorer was brutal. Most would die in the rift before even graduating.

Furthermore, no one could prove that Lara purposely hit an enemy from that distance. Especially when he was invisible and had already escaped.

Of course, it was a shame to let him die without pain, but the woman also knew that if she tried to torture him, he would just give up, escaping her. Moreover, her image would be tarnished before the many eyes admiring that event.

Anyway, the automatic teleportation device had been improved, and detecting Zack’s lack of vital signs, he was automatically teleported to the school infirmary.

But people with the<;Revive> skill or even its weaker form <Reanimate> were very rare.

Therefore, there was no one capable of saving Zack’s life at that moment, after all, the head nurse was out dealing with other problems, and Amanda was trapped.

Zack’s death was confirmed the next day.

As for Lara, she went to retrieve her spear and feigned surprise upon noticing how far it had gone. She even murmured to herself in an innocent tone:

"I still haven’t gotten used to my strength in this form."
