The clone with the Mesmer system was being very helpful as his illusions could be cast on groups thanks to the huge difference in spiritual strength between Zavier and the mobs that he was fighting.
Zavier truly felt that he had done a good job keeping this clone safe. It had managed to progress a lot thanks to the constant efforts that it had put in. Moreover, the clone with the Mesmer system was someone that the mobs would never be able to grind down as it had a huge reservoir of spiritual strength and mana and all the spells and illusions it was casting required a very low amount of fuel to cast.
Therefore the clone was throwing spells and illusions everywhere without a care for the world and the enemies were terrified of what was happening. People were falling unconscious for no reason and amidst the commotion, no one had the calm to even check whether those who lay on the ground were still alive or not.
Zavier on the other hand did not reveal his trump cards at all. He didn't use the cold blaze that was the strongest magic skill that he was able to wield. He was only casting generic magic that he had learnt and common skills that he had been taught at school. Sometimes he even used the 'Float' magic to send the kids up in the air before dropping them down immediately. The panicked students didn't even have the sense to cast float on themselves to avoid falling down. Their mind was in turmoil and they became unable to protect themselves from the fall.
Zavier was laying waste to the alliance with simple and generic magic as that. When he was against a bigger group, Zavier would employ his Blood Blade skill to avoid all their attacks from hitting him. Even though the attacks of those students weren't enough to take him down instantly, their combined effect could even take him out. So he was being cautious when dealing with groups. He had no experience fighting a group as large as this after all.
Zavier and his two clones were like wolves with sharp and terrifying claws among sheep that were hardly able to defend themselves. The whole gathering of students were unable to stop their advances and were busy running about in panic and their faces painted with horror.
It went Zavier's way for a while and he didn't face any difficulty at all but it wasn't that long before someone started shouting to gather the others together.
"We have to fight together or they would keep striking us down. Gather up around each other. Watch each other's backs."
Zavier didn't have time to find out who it was that was spoiling his plan.
His attacks increased in efficiency and a blood mist surrounded him at all times. This orb of blood mist around him was not only being used for defense but was also being used to materialize different weapons as he required based on the dynamics of the battlefield.
At one time, he even unconsciously used his blood to take the form of a baseball bat and struck down a student with that. He remembered feeling like he had hit a home run with that swing as the student had been unable to get up after that strike.
Zavier wanted to make use of the confusion and panic to take care of as many students as possible but the annoying idiot who was gathering all the students in his direction was getting on Zavier's nerves.
As expected, it didn't take long for the students to come out of their stupor. They gathered their scattered wits and started to think rationally. No one rushed in blindly towards him and started to get back.
Even though not everyone gathered towards the person who had been calling out to them, they still had enough sense to determine that they couldn't last alone against the trio so they started to form up behind each other for support.
Zavier could tell that the next part of the battle was going to be troublesome. He really wanted to strangle that guy for ruining his plans. But it was not as if Zavier had expected the panic to last till the end. Zavier would have been a fool to do that.
The fighting was no longer as chaotic as it had been before. Previously, the students had even struck each other in the confusion while trying to take down the trio but it was no longer the case.
They had organized themselves in the forms of small teams and were fighting back against him and his clones but thanks to the 'Blood Blade', they were still being pushed back.
Zavier too stopped his careless and indiscriminate offensive against the alliance of the students. He started being calculative of the consequences of his actions so as to get to get the maximum benefit out of the energy consumed for the completion of those actions.
Zavier was constantly using the Time Space eye to keep an eye on the students who were slowly gathering around him to minimize his escape routes and to fire skills at him from all directions so that Zavier wouldn't be able to avoid it.
Unfortunately for them, the blood mist surrounding Zavier made sure that even if the attack came out of the ground below Zavier, it still wouldn't have been able to make it past his defense made of extremely flexible blood mist.
Moreover, Zavier's perception system was quite advanced through thorough practice and was able to determine any possible danger to the user within a certain limit. Therefore, any life threatening situations would cause an alarm to ring inside his head. It was like the siren of a fire vehicle in the middle of a congested road.
So far, not a single student had been able to give him that sense of danger that he was used to feeling from his enemies since all his enemies that he had encountered so far had been powerful beyond his imagination.
Since there was no danger, Zavier managed to cut down one individual after another. The medic team that should have been taking care of the patients whom he had struck down earlier were nowhere to be seen. It felt as if the university no longer cared about the students participating in the test.
In reality, medical team was actually facing the crisis of a life time dealing with all the mess that Zavier was busy causing along with his clones. There was a huge shortage of personnel who were able to carry wounded of the battlefield so that they could be treated. There weren't enough stretchers or enough personnel to handle the crisis and yet Zavier was busy complaining that they didn't care if a student lived or died.
Zavier was busy keeping an eye on the battlefield while taking care of all the small fries in his way when an alarm rang inside his whole body. It was like a jolt that was able to bring the dead back to life. Zavier knew what this was. This was obviously his danger radar operating with unimaginable accuracy that was pushing him to do something in order to avoid the danger that was heading towards him from his blind spot.
Blind spots didn't exist for Zavier as he had the Time Space eye but his attacker was not privy to that knowledge. But since Zavier was too busy trying to avoid the attacks and skills directed at him from the student alliance, he only noticed the danger when his senses started to scream at him.
Only then did he notice a dagger that seemed to be shooting towards him with the purpose of taking him down with a single strike. The dagger had been aimed at the middle of his neck and had he not moved away at the last possible second, the dagger would have pierced through the back of his neck. Such an injury was definitely life threatening to say the very least. Given the condition of the medics at this time, Zavier was sure that he would have died despite what the university had claimed before the start of the test.
Zavier didn't know that his attacker had to try at least this much if they wanted to take down one of the trio. After all, the three of them were way stronger than the rest of them. The attackers would have been happy if only they were able to leave a single scratch on the bodies of the trio. Most of the students had fallen without even touching the hem of their clothes due to the enormous difference in strength between the two parties. The equilibrium between the two parties was being maintained due to the excessive number of the alliance and the excessive amount of stamina and strength that the trio wielded.
Although Zavier had managed to dodge the dagger earlier the danger alarm at the back of his head did not shut down at all. He was feeling extremely uncomfortable as if the dagger was about to pierce through him once again.
Zavier formed a blood cocoon that was a little stronger in terms of defense so that he could ignore the attacks of the other students for a while. Activating the Time Space eye allowed him to have a holistic view of the entire situation. Every little detail was visible to him and he could even zoom in on some details. This way nothing could escape his sight.
It was not long before he found the anomaly that was threatening him. The dagger that he had dodged earlier was nowhere to be found.
