Jane was heading straight to the left side, where she only had to fight against one person. She couldn’t help but remember what Rafael said yesterday.
"Jane. I’m sure that they will leave Ragna behind and attack with the same formation."
"In that case…" Jane stepped forward while placing her hand on her chest to show her eagerness.
"Yeah. I want you to stop Jay, who will most likely come alone. Melody and Kanaria are good fighters, but they’re not as extraordinary as Jay. That’s why I want you to stop Jay."
"I understand. I’ll definitely stop Jay, even if it costs me everything!" Jane nodded with a serious expression.

"No. It’s going to be impossible for you to stop him." Rafael shook his head helplessly.
"But—" She wanted to protest, but Rafael continued, "That’s why… if we want to stop him, we will…"
Jane widened her eyes in shock.
When recalling that order, Jane’s expression turned serious.
She clenched her weapons while looking at the dot that was approaching her head-on. She still didn’t manage to catch a glimpse of his figure, but he would definitely come in less than twenty seconds.
In the center, Farhan continued keeping Clovis at bay. "No matter what you’re planning to do, you won’t be able to escape from us. We’ll definitely stop you here."
"Escape? Do you think I need to leave this place?" Clovis smirked while glancing at Melvin approaching from his left.
Melvin swung his sword horizontally, trying to defeat Clovis while he was distracted by Farhan.
Unfortunately for both of them, Clovis simply sped up, striking Melvin’s two-handed greatsword multiple times and ultimately stopping it.
"Kh." Melvin gritted his teeth. The vibration from the clash did indeed make his hands numb.
However, Melvin stomped the ground while continuing the swing that had been stopped once.
"Raaaahhh!" Melvin roared.
"!!!" Clovis raised his eyebrows as if he were being shocked. His blades were being pushed back and eventually Melvin launched him half a meter into the air, pushing him back for more than five meters.
"There he is!" Aran pointed his gun at Clovis, but before he could shoot him, there was another tree that actually stood between them, covering Clovis again. "Did he… know that the tree would hide his body again?"
However, Grace still took her chance. When Clovis’ form was unstable in midair, she jumped off the tree and waved her daggers.
Clovis twisted his body a little so that his long sword would protect his back, but the short sword was a little too short.
She struck the long sword in order to stop Clovis from moving it to a different position and blocking her second dagger. She then used her other dagger to stab Clovis in the back of his shoulder.
"Kh." Clovis gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. As soon as he landed on the ground, he hurriedly turned around and swung his blades as swiftly as possible.
Grace immediately leaped back, but she also underestimated Clovis’ speed. The long sword still managed to make a quite deep graze on her arm before she managed to get away.
Grace bounced a few times on her feet before jumping back into the top of the tree, thinking, ’That was dangerous. If I were one step too late, my entire arm would have been gone. Even the referee might have to bring me out. But…’
Farhan and Melvin once again surrounded Clovis.
"You’re going to stay here until you get taken out." Farhan pointed his spear at him.
"Are you sure you’re not going to stay here? It seems that your captain is so confident to be able to fight against two of my teammates." Clovis smirked, provoking them as he had seen the incoming dots. They were already pretty close, so the enemies should get distracted soon.
"You’re misunderstanding something." Farhan harrumphed. "You don’t understand the fact that your plan has been seen through by Rafael."
"Just ignore him, Farhan. Let’s defeat him right now!" Melvin raised his two-handed sword. He lowered his stance as if he were about to charge.
Unexpectedly, instead of running toward Clovis, Melvin turned around and rushed to the side, confronting the two people who wanted to sneak past them. "Kanaria and Melody, huh? I can beat those two women by myself!"
At the same time, Aran also turned around, moving toward the opposite direction. In other words, he wanted to join hands with Jane to defeat this one opponent.
Jane was approaching at the same pace, so she and Aran would be confronting Jay at the same time. Melvin smiled excitedly, knowing that he had the opportunity to defeat two opponents by himself.
All of them couldn’t help but remember the continuation of Rafael’s plan. "That’s why… if we want to stop him, we will… need a sacrifice."
"A sacrifice?" His teammates couldn’t help but frown.
"Yeah. Jane will be confronting Jay, but since it’s impossible to stop him by herself, Aran will position himself on the left side while stopping Clovis. On the other hand, Melvin will take on the two ladies on the opposite side."
"Hoh?!" Aran smiled. He glanced at Jane, knowing that if both of them joined hands, even if they couldn’t defeat Jay, they would definitely be able to stop him.
Melvin shouted excitedly, "Alright. I will defeat those two girls. Tarkan and Gilza couldn’t defeat them because they underestimated those girls. But I won’t make the same mistake!"
While those three were excited, Farhan and Grace couldn’t help but ask, "But… can we actually stop Clovis by ourselves?"
"Of course not. That’s why I told you that we needed a sacrifice." Rafael’s eyes were locked on Farhan.
"I see. So we let Clovis pass… but to make him think that he does it with her own power, I need to be defeated." Farhan sighed.
"Yeah. After that, I will be the one to stop him. Grace will be stationed between me and Melvin. Find the gap and take out Clovis or those two ladies. Removing either of them would allow us to win!"
Grace nodded with a solemn look, understanding the importance of her role.
After recalling this plan, Melvin smiled when he saw a shadow in the distance. ’There’s no need to wait for Grace. I will defeat these two women in an instant!’ or so he thought before his body suddenly got flipped around.
"Huh?"
