"You think we’ll fall for that?" Dale snickered, and his Armoured Emperor Bull charged at Ysabel, with Derek’s Elder Ant following right behind it.
It shot two lightning bolts at Ysabel, but wings sprouted from her back, pulling her into the air while her summon charged toward the other two.
It stabbed the curved ends of its multiple legs into the back of the Armoured Emperor Bull, brilliantly piercing through the gaps between the natural armour on the bull’s back.
As the bull roared, the Elder Ant swung its arm at the mosquito, but it swiftly moved around, and its proboscis moved like a snake, piercing the Elder Ant’s flesh. In the blink of an eye, the Elder Ant became skeletons and bone armour, falling weakly to the ground.
"Don’t worry..." Ysabel said from the top of a building, her wings still spread out so she could move when the situation called for it. "...I made sure Cinderella left a little amount of blood to keep your ant alive."
Dale swiftly covered himself in his bull’s armour and shot off in the other direction, his hooves pounding the ground with sparks of blue lightning.
He retrieved his summon before the Blood Drunk Mosquito could attack it. Others fled but were sucked to the point of being unconscious.
After taking several hits, Dale managed to escape Ysabel, who cursed while hovering above six students, all unconscious with wide eyes and their summons laid almost fully mummified around them.
"Well..." Ysabel caressed her summon, which she named Cinderella. "Me and Rowana cannot be friends after this, but it’s no problem. I’ll be far ahead of her in points by the time we become seniors, and the Authorities will take notice of me. A small sacrifice for a bigger reward."
Cinderella’s low-pitched hum made Ysabel scowl. "You know she would have tried to protect them. What a waste of points. I should have made them my subordinates instead. Tsk! I was never the smart one."
She pouted, admiring her beauty in a puddle of water before flipping her hair. "Let’s go to the city square."
***
At the city square, there were a couple of students at different places. Some were at the fountain, purchasing items. Apparently, the items in each fountain weren’t limitless.
This made resources rare, and the first thing any sensible student who wanted to last would purchase.
Once a fountain was dried of its resources, people would clamour for the next, and the next, until there would be nothing left.
There were almost two hundred students in this dungeon; buying as much as you could was already a priority, but another question was, could you keep what you had?
"Is this real?" Maldred asked, wiping his eyes. Orwen, who stood beside him with crossed arms, nodded. "It has to be."
Other people beside them, and everyone who came to check the wooden board hanging on a massive clock tower, had the same expression.
Number one on the rankings was none other than Godfrey Daniels, with 300 points. The top talents could only line up behind him.
When Ysabel came, her eyes locked on the leaderboard. "Godfrey..." A malicious gleam flickered through her eyes as she remembered how he threw Lilith at her.
She broke an arm that day!
"Can you please excuse me?" She heard a familiar voice that froze her in place. Tilting slightly, her eyes met those ocean-blue eyes.
