Grandpa Eric had given his life to hide her identity. She absolutely could not be discovered by Maxim.
And this incessantly chattering Yana Yates, who had recognized her as a Player, was the greatest threat. ’He has to die.’
But while Yana Yates was suppressed by the rules, his sole remaining Talent, [Space Exchange], was a god-tier survival skill.
He continuously swapped places with the other Tributes embroiled in the chaotic battle, causing Belle White’s attacks to miss their mark again and again.
It also put everyone nearby in constant distress, terrified they might inadvertently take a fatal blow meant for him.
"Belle White! I apologize for trying to Control you in the past!"
Yana Yates tried to soften her up, shouting after swapping places again.
"This isn’t the time to worry about that! This Death Arena is terrifying; we have to work together!"
Belle White gritted her teeth, the killing intent in her eyes flaring. "In your dreams! You must die."
Just as Yana Yates activated [Space Exchange] again,
swapping places with a minotaur that was parrying a blow nearby, the very instant he regained his footing...
An intense sense of danger, sharp as an ice pick, shot through his spine!
He wanted to activate [Space Exchange] again to evade the attack that had locked onto him, but the powerful Talent had one fatal flaw.
After each use, there was an Energy disruption period of about 1.5 seconds, making it impossible to use consecutively!
And that 1.5-second opening was precisely what Seraphina Sullivan and Sean Chandler, who had been watching and waiting for the perfect moment, had seized upon!
"Now!"
Sean Chandler shot forward like a cannonball, erupting with power!
A giant, spectral bear paw, radiating terrifying Power, smashed squarely into Yana Yates’s chest just as he appeared, before he could even stabilize himself!
"CRACK—!"
The sickening crunch of breaking bone rang out clearly!
Yana Yates’s chest visibly caved in. He coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with bits of his internal organs and was sent flying backward like a broken kite.
His powerful constitution as a Level 5 Player kept him from dying instantly, but he was already severely wounded!
Sean Chandler pressed his advantage, moving in to deliver the killing blow.
But Yana Yates endured the searing pain and, the instant the Energy disruption ended, activated [Space Exchange] once more.
With a flicker, he reappeared over ten meters away in a relatively empty "safe zone."
He dropped to one knee, coughing up great mouthfuls of blood. He looked up, his expression a mixture of shock and fury, trying to see who had ambushed him.
However, what awaited him was Seraphina Sullivan’s final blow, already aimed and waiting to be unleashed!
"I couldn’t finish you in the Junkheap Ruins. Let’s see you get away this time!"
Hearing the name "Junkheap Ruins" was like a thunderclap in Yana Yates’s mind!
"It’s... it’s you!!!"
He finally realized.
This woman before him was the one who had foiled his plans in the Junkheap Ruins, the one responsible for his failure to obtain Power at the very last moment.
And now, she was the very person who had pushed him into this fatal crisis.
Endless regret and venomous hatred surged through him, but he had now lost even the Power to fight back.
He tried to activate his Space Exchange Talent again, only to find his body had become sluggish.
Sean Chandler had activated his Hunter Card, acquiring an Ability that slowed Yana Yates’s movements.
As a result, Yana Yates’s every action became unnaturally slow.
Seraphina Sullivan’s eyes were ice-cold.
She seized the opportunity.
The tenfold Power of [Dreadful Upright Ape] and the full might of [Fierce Kick] all converged at the tip of her foot.
Then, with unerring accuracy, she smashed it into Yana Yates’s slowed head!
"SPLAT—!"
Like a watermelon smashed by a sledgehammer, Yana Yates’s head instantly exploded, its red and white contents splattering in all directions.
