Chapter 281 – Alea’s Plan

Chapter 281 - Alea’s Plan

Clark took a deep breath to calm his heart, trying to figure out a way to handle all these heads. However, he soon counted the heads and found only seven charged at him.

He glanced left and right, finding the other two targeting his teammates. "Laura, Scarlet. Be careful!"

"You should think about yourself first." Alea smirked.

Clark saw the first incoming two heads that were about to swallow him from two sides. He jumped and grasped the two heads before freezing them.

However, three more heads were coming at him, so he used the frozen heads as a support to push him back to the ground. The side heads clashed with the two frozen heads and destroyed each other while the last one struck him from above.

Clark grasped the two fangs and stopped its advance, but the remaining two approached him from the two sides again.

At the same time, the last two that headed to Laura and Scarlet struck them from above, forcing them to avoid it by leaping into the air.

"Sh*t!" Both Laura and Scarlet gnashed their teeth because it was a coordinated attack.

Laust also jumped together with Scarlet and smashed her with his sword.

"Raging Bull Strike."

Although Scarlet managed to block it with her sword, Laust's extraordinary strength blew her to the arena wall.

Meanwhile, Phyrill used his lightning to get away from Laura. Even if it was only for one or two seconds, he should be able to cover the distance between him and Clark.

"Clark!" Laura shouted and raised the ground again, so she could step on it and chased Phyrill, but Alea appeared in the corner of her vision, swinging her sword.

"Herculean Strike."

"Golem Arm." Laura covered her hand with a thick rock and grasped Alea's sword, but she was also blown away by Alea.

Even so, Laura smiled as she seemed to have gotten Alea's attention, reducing Clark's burden. In other words, Clark only needed to handle Laust and Phyrill.

On the contrary, after ripping the hydra heads to shreds, Clark glanced to the sides, finding Laust and Phyrill coming at him.

Phyrill charged at him with his head. The jade-colored screen protected him as the momentum was enough for Phyrill to create enormous damage to Clark's body.

Laust also did the same and waved his sword down, creating a crescent-shaped light trail in the air. "Moon Slash."

Despite being injured, Phyrill and Laust still underestimated the man called Clark. He held Boreas' blessing.

If one asked who should be the captain of the United Kingdom Team? They would tell them it was Clark.

He was the strongest among the participants and his head was above average, allowing him to lead the team perfectly.

Only due to Nella's sudden appearance was Clark demoted from the team leader. In other words, Clark's strength was only second to Nella.

And this strength couldn't be underestimated.

Clark's eyes turned bloodshot as he couldn't help but smile when facing these two. "Since you want to end it here, let me show you my true power."

Clark placed his hand on Phyrill's jade-colored screen while summoning an ice spike beneath his feet to hit the sword's handle in Laust's hand, knocking it a bit upward, making his attack go slightly higher.

This created a new trajectory for the slash as it should even reach Phyrill's Jade Head. Using Phyrill's momentum, Clark pushed himself back and let Phyrill's Jade Head clash with Laust's Moon Slash.

"What?!" Laust and Phyrill widened their eyes in surprise, never expecting Clark to avoid it while making them attack each other.

After that, Clark raised both hands and sent a punch to them. "This is the end of your ambush. I know you are going to aim at me this whole time, so get lost."

When Clark was about to hit Laust and Phyrill, he sensed another presence on his back.

A female's voice echoed in his ears, bringing a sense of fear in his heart. "Yes. That's why Theo didn't tell us anything other than to win. He knew you would know we will ambush you, so one of us needs to do something to surmount our previous strategy, you see."

"!!!" Clark drew a gasp as he felt a chill down to his spine. "Alea… How?"

Clark glanced at her and saw her feet in the corner of his eyes. It was covered with green light, reminding him of one technique. "No way…"

Right after he noticed the reason, Alea grabbed the flag and stepped back, raising it as high as possible to show they won.

"Thersland Wins!" Diego quickly announced their win like the first battle.

Clark turned around and looked at Alea's disappearing energy. "Second labour…"

It turned out stopping Laura was Alea's misdirection. By making Clark think she helped her teammates so they could fight him together, she managed to take her figure out of the picture. This became a perfect opportunity for an ambush.

Also, with her and Laust blasting Laura and Scarlet to the wall, it kicked up the dust from the rubbles and the field, making them unable to see her movement, thus unable to warn him. It was at that time Alea used her Swift Hind skill to move as fast as Phyrill and Laust, turning them into the bait.

In other words, Alea just used both her teammates for her own convenience like how they always operated.

Alea smiled and sheathed her sword, looking at Laust and Phyrill. "Thank you guys."

"…" Laust fell silent as his expression darkened.

Phyrill didn't hold back and sneered. "I can accept it if it's Theo, but you… Ugh, this is unpleasant. How could I lose against this stupid Alea…"

"That's not a nice thing to say." Alea rolled her eyes and shrugged. "You lose. Just admit it."

"Kh." Phyrill glared at her while gnashing his teeth.

Clark scratched the back of his head and chuckled. "You guys. Seriously, you seem to have some sort of distorted relationship… Aren't you?"

"A certain cold guy has turned the team like this." Alea pouted.

"Haha, as expected of him." Clark chuckled, knowing it was Theo.

"Well, there's no way we can reach here if not because of his way." Phyrill shrugged and turned around, walking back while waving his hand to Clark. "That's a good match. See you later."

"Y-yeah." Clark shook his head helplessly, looking at these three.
