Casian chose a hidden spot ad set up camp The exhausted team gathered together, listlessly eating the little crysta energy food they had left.

Each of them had prepared enough crystal–energy rations for three days before departure. None of them had expect burn through nearly all of it in a single day

What Cassian had done during the crisis, shoving a tearsmate forward as a shield while he fled for his own life, had le like a poisoned thorn in every member’s heart.

Some of them had once gathered around him because of his family background and strength. Now, when they looked him, their eyes carried distance, anger, and lingering fear that they could no longer hide.

“Cassian, why did you push Nelson back there?” one of his childhood friends demanded. He was close to Cassian, but he had been lightly injured. His voice sounded hoarse.

‘I was trying to preserve our combat strength. Cassian argued, his face dark. “Only if I recovered could I save everyone

His tone was weak, and the excuse carried no weight.

Preserve our combat strength? another teammate sneered. “By throwing your brother’s life away?”

she quietly opened her Optical Brain and checked the real–time rankings and map.

When she saw that Dora’s team had been advancing steadily and had already rushed into the top thirty, her emotions gr complicated. Even so, a quiet relief rose inside her that she could not quite put into words.

At that moment, Cassian had no attention to spare for Iris‘ thoughts. He could not even afford to care that the team was

urning against him.

What worried him more was their ranking.

He stared at the glaring upward curve beside Dora’s team name on the Optical Brain. Then he felt the emptiness of hug w rystal energy and the suspicious gazes of his teammates. Irritation and violence surged through him.

Enough. Stop arguing,” he ordered hoarsely. “Replenish your crystal energy and recover. Then we hunt down dete beasts. Before the match ends, we have to kill a few more high–level beasts and make up the scou

A ruthless glint flashed through his eyes.

He would never allow his team to lose to Dora’s and Elmer’s teams.

After speaking, he charged first toward a lone Level 5 mutated alien beast in the distance

The other team members were unhappy, but they still followed close behind and began hunting level 2 and Level 3 dien

After three hours of slaughter their team had finally forced its way back into the top ten, reaching ninth place

He was about to turn off the Optical Brain when his gaze caught Dora’s team ranking from the corner of his eve

He immediately lifted his wrist again, his eyes ed on the leaderboard.

Dora’s team had already surged to sixteenth place

Cassian could not believe it.

They had started in last place. They had spent the whole time hiding in some corner, too afraid to come out.

What made it even harder for him to accept was that Dora’s team points were still climbing at a terrifying speed.

n a single instant, they rose another spot and reached fifteenth place

Dora was only six places separated from his team now.

Cassian’s expression turned vicious. The pale scar on his face made him look almost feral.

He drew a deep breath, shoved the last piece of crystal–energy food into his mouth, and disappeared into the forest aga earch for higher–level mutated alien beasts

The two young females huddled in the camp, trembling

At that moment, Iris regretted joining Cassian’s team for this expedition more than anything.

fet she also felt grateful that she had come. Otherwise, she would never have had the chance to see Cassian’s true face An he would never have seen Dora.

Over at Dora’s tent, Elmer stood guard. The two females did not have to live in fear at all. Instead, they kept giving crystal-

The entire team fought with growing strength and momentum.

mutated ones.

Whenever his crystal energy ran low, he pulled out the chocolate Dora had secretly stuffed into his hand.

He fought while replenishing his crystal energy.

Each piece of chocolate was small, but the crystal energy inside was rich and pure

Mindy’s beast mates fought while hauling the mutated alien beast corpses back to camp. Whenever they had a moment, they ate the crystal–energy food Mindy had prepared for them.

Anyone who got received treatment from Eimer night away

The whole squad worked together with searnless precision

Dora and Mindy watched the ranking climb higher and higher on the Optical Bun, and both of them were thrilled

Since their team did not need to conserve crystal energy at all, and since they had rested beforehand and had Elmers healing supernatural ability supporting them, their squad moved like a perpetual–motion machine. They harvested poin without tiring.

As the competition neared its end, fewer and fewer mutated alien beasts were released into the field, and the changes on scoreboard began to slow.

Only Dora’s team continued gaining points at a steady pace. Now, they had actually climbed to fifth place.

Cassian kept looking for chances to hunt Level 5 mutated alien beasts. To secure a high ranking, he even used the lightnin cannons he had bought at a steep price for emergencies.

n the VIP section, Regina had been watching the rankings the entire time. When she saw that Cassian’s squad had taken fi place in the end, she smiled in relief.

But when she saw that Dora and Elmer’s team, the one she had looked down on, had ranked fifth, her brows tightened aga

Several familiar females beside her laughed and said. “I didn’t expect Dora’s team to do so well.”
