The next Elite Monster was the one that I was actually worried about since the one that we were heading to was the one that the flying manta rays represented.
I had no idea just what the next evolution of these flying manta rays were, but it didn’t seem like it would be anything good.
If it was just a larger flying manta ray, then it would have been good.
But it really didn’t feel like that…
The flying manta rays had the same problem as the other monsters where they were restricted by their bloodline, making it hard for them to lead the way. But in the end, there was nothing that could go against the hypnosis of the Echo Bat.
Before we arrived at the location where the Elite Monster should have been, we could already feel the mana fluctuations coming from that place.
The powerful mana fluctuations that seemed to be coming from in front of us, it really seemed like whatever was in front of us was filled with power. But not just that, it seemed like it was even stronger than the other Elite Monsters that we faced before.
Or that would have been the case if not for the fact that…
It wasn’t the Elite Monster that was releasing this powerful mana fluctuation.
Rather, it was two groups of humans that were releasing these mana fluctuations.
Though it wasn’t the group itself that was releasing it, but rather the leaders of these two groups.
As expected, there were also people that had gathered around this place for the Elite Monster, but they didn’t seem like they were planning on attacking the monster just yet.
That was because they were all gathered around two groups.
Those two groups were the surprising thing about this place since no one expected both of them to be here. Especially since both of them were not just normal top contenders, they were the ones that even normal top contenders feared.
It was the Dark Knights Team and the Luminous Knights Team that were staring off against each other.
Seeing that it was the two of them, I didn’t approach them.
After all, I still remembered the way that those two teams stared at us when we had been drawing lots.
I still remembered how they viewed us with interest even though we were a completely unknown team.
It was better to remain out of the line of sight of these two teams.
There was no telling what they were planning to do.
Well, other than the stare off that they were currently having.
It seemed that most people that arrived at this place moved to one side or another. There were a couple of teams that were standing on the side, watching over the confrontation between the two and not choosing a side, but there really weren’t that many of them.
It was clear that most teams found it safer to follow one of these two teams.
But at the same time, it didn’t seem like the Dark Knights Team or the Luminous Knights Team cared about them.
The only thing that these two teams cared about was each other.
It was as if only the other party could threaten them.
There was a very awkward and tense silence that lingered in the air because of this.
After a long while, there was finally something that broke the silence.
It was the roar of something that came from above.
Looking up, I noticed the Elite Monster that guarded this place floating there.
If it wasn’t for it making a sound, I might have completely forgotten about it since I was so focused on the two top contender teams here.
But this Elite Monster was a giant shark that was floating there in the sky while being surrounded by other manta rays.

There was this green wind that was elemental wind energy that surrounded it, which it seemed to control to fly there in the air.
Before this, that flying shark had just remained floating there as if it was in some form of sleep mode. It was as if it wouldn’t wake up as long as nothing provoked it to make it wake up.
But now it just suddenly woke up and gave a roar, causing all of the flying manta rays to also wake up.

It was unknown what had caused this reaction with the flying shark and the flying manta rays, but since it happened, it wasn’t as if they could remain idle. They had to figure out a way to deal with the monsters that were now coming at them.
The leaders of the Dark Knights Team and Luminous Knights Team just glared at each other one more time before turning around with snorts.
After turning around, the two of them immediately drew their swords as familiars appeared behind them.
The leader of the Dark Knights Team had a bear while the leader of the Luminous Knights Team had a white horse.
The leader of the Luminous Knight Team was the one that made the first move as he jumped onto the white horse. Then there was a pair of wings that appeared on the sides of the horse, along with a horn on its forehead.
With these wings, the white horse flew right into the sky to face the oncoming manta rays.
The bear familiar of the leader of the Dark Knights Team didn’t attack, but rather wrapped itself around the leader of the Dark Knights Team. The moment that it did, it seemed to morph into some kind pelt that wrapped around him.
In no time at all, there was this transformation where the leader of the Dark Knights Team took the form of a half bear half human creature.
With a single roar, he jumped into the air to face the flying manta rays with sword in hand.
It was a single slash from both of them.
Then there were manta rays that dropped to the ground, having been sliced in half.
