Amy and Gloria were standing before the mountain from which Evan opened the golden chest.
Not so far away from them Jackson and Claire were standing.
All four of them arrived here at the same time.
The situation between both of the teams was very tense.
Both Gloria and Amy were C+ rank hunters, and currently, they were in fourth position.
Jackson was also a C+ rank hunter while Claire was a C rank hunter. Currently, they were in the fifth position.
All four of them were quite strong, and Gloria and Amy were not sure they will be able to defeat them without getting injured.
Moreover, they knew there is a very high chance other students who will arrive here will take advantage of their fight and will eliminate them.
Even though they were still at the bottom of the mountain they can hear the sound of fighting from the top of the mountain.
If they start fighting and alert them they will also attract their attention.
"How about we work together, and check out what is going on up there. Besides, if we fight against each other and get injured it will be very difficult for us to face Leon or Valery who are B rank hunters" Gloria said to Jackson.
Jackson thought about it for a moment before nodding his head, "Alright, I also don't want to start fighting at this place where we might get targeted by other students".
"Then let's go up and see who is fighting," Amy said and both Gloria and she started to go up.
Jackson and Claire also started moving, but they maintained enough distance so that they will be able to react even if Gloria and Amy decide to attack on them.
Booooooooooooommmmmm-!
When they climbed three fourth of the mountain, they heard a loud explosion that shook the mountain.
They saw a giant mushroom cloud rising at the top of the mountain.
Many small and medium size rocks started to fall down.
"Damm, who is fighting up there," Gloria said while looking at the falling rocks.
"Sound barrier" Amy created a sound barrier before them to protect themselves from the falling rocks.
"Thuder shield" Jackson also created a Thuder shield to protect them.
While maintaining their shields they continue to climb the mountain.
Soon they were almost at the top of the mountain.
"Be careful, we are almost there" Amy used her sound element to send a voice transmission to Jackson and Claire.
She was afraid that they will attract the attention of the people who are fighting there.
Jackson and Claire didn't say anything when they heard Amy's voice and continue to climb the mountain.
"Let's see who is wreaking havoc here," Jackson said and both he and Claire peeked at the top of the mountain.
Bang -!
Just as they raised their head they heard the sound of something exploding.
Plop-!
Jackson felt something warm splash on his face.
"Hmm," Jackson touched his face and wiped out the thing that splashed on his face.
After wiping his face when he looked at his hand his heart turn cold, and he slowly looked in Claire's direction.
When Jackson looked in Claire's direction, he was frightened to see the headless body of Claire beside him.
Her head exploded, and blood and brain matter were splashed on his face.
He looked at his message window and confirmed that Claire was really eliminated.
Amy and Gloria were also looking at the scene with shocked faces.
They were climbing slower than Jackson and Claire, so if anything unexpected happened, it will be Jackson and Claire who will have to face that.
"She was eliminated as soon as she looked at the top of the mountain," Amy said while gulping down her saliva.
"I think this guy really has a grudge against females. Each time he eliminates a female he does it in a most brutal way" Oliva said while looking at the screen.
Other people were also speechless seeing what just happened.
After killing the wolf the shadow bullet continue to move forward, and Claire who just raised her head to peek at who was fighting happened to be in its way.
She was eliminated even without knowing what happened.
"But the power of that attack was too high," Edward said with an astonished expression on his face.
"Hmm, even a B+ rank hunter might be in danger if encounter that kind of attack" Issac also nodded his head.
"This guy is truly a maniac," Jeffrey said while shaking his head.
"Look, that sabertooth tiger is also about to reach there," Wyatt said while pointing at one of the screens.
On the screen, the sabertooth tiger was moving toward the mountain.
-//3987 points
These texts were floating above its head. It got these points after killing Mike and others.
"The sabertooth tiger is coming from the backside of the mountain, while Gloria and others are at the front side of the mountain," Edward said while rubbing his chin.
"Valery is also about to reach there," Issac said while looking at Valery who was approaching the mountain.
There were many burn marks on her body and her aura was weaker than before.
It was clear that her fight against the ox was not easy.
Some of the people were looking at Valery with sympathy.
After killing the ox she tried to look for the golden chest, but was not able to find it.
Little did she know the chest Evan opened earlier was stolen from the ox.
"She is approaching the mountain from the right side. The Sabertooth tiger is coming from the backside while Amy and others are coming from the front side. The left side of the mountain is a dead end, doesn't it mean both Evan and Leon are surrounded" Edward said after looking at the different screens.
"Now that you mention it" Olivia also looked at the screens and her eyes lit up.
"Looks like both of these guys are in deep trouble," Wyatt said looking at Evan and Leon who were still standing at the same place.
