The Dark Legacy

Chapter 18 : Robbing 3.

Several groups became the victim of Kris's scheme, he played a crucial role in using the winged crows to wear down his opponents. Each time a beast tide happened there was an intense battle which made the opponents team fall short on mana. Kris's team used this chance to rob them, take all the loots and beast cores.

Just like this Kris and his group collected more than two hundred and sixty seven beast cores. It was an astronomical number. Among the groups they had targeted, eighty percent of them were elites among elites.

Although the victim groups were aware that they might get robbed, they were vigilant but still somehow they fell for Kris's schemes.

Kris used many strange plants to lure out large beast tides. Marie and the others were shocked, they had never heard of such strange plants could lure out Spike winged crows like this.

Moreover Kris was just a commoner, he should have shallow knowledge and skills, but it seemed that his knowledge about this aspect was very deep.

His scheming and trap setting ability was also top notch.

This time Kris showed high level attainment in hunting which made the entire group astonished.

Thomas and Walter was baffled, they became much quieter than before witnessing Kris's ability first hand.

Marie also became much more dependent on him, she prioritized Kris's opinion first. As a team leader depending on team members opinion too much sometime hampers the leaders authority.

Marie involuntarily thought of herself in a lower position than Kris, a self inferiority started to grow inside her. Within just three day's Kris managed collect a huge amount of beast core without even putting up a single fight.

It was just like earning profits without investing.

That's exactly what Kris had wanted, he wanted to make them realize his importance, then slowly his opinions and actions would have a heavy weight than before.

He doesn't like being given orders, he wanted to do everything freely, since he was already in a group he had to show something that would have a greater impact on the group, slowly making his presence hard and solid.

Marie on the other hand felt that it was very unfortunate for Kris because he didn't had a high grade mana core. Although his battle strength was average at best, but along with his wisdom and intelligence, his battle strength could be ranked above average.

Kris would be able to easily dominate a magician within the same rank as himself.

" According to estimation only a few groups left, this will be our last encounter and the opponent will be extremely strong. If we lose, we lose everything and fail the entire test. "

Kris spoke with a serious tone, his voice was slow without a hint of nervousness but his calm voice carried immense determination.

Marie and the others nodded, they also became serious at that moment.

They saw Kris setting traps one after another, there was more than one hundred traps. Although these traps wouldn't do much against a magician directly, but in a battle against those mana beasts the traps will trigger, disrupting the fights.

A simple disruption might cause grave injuries during a battle. Kris applied a strange odor in the surroundings which quickly attracted many spike winged crow.

Kris and the others hid behind the wind veil that Marie had created.

Soon a group of student detected such large amount of spike winged beast horde.

" Wait, it could be a trap, enemies might be waiting in ambush. "

The team leader shouted.

" Joseph aren't you being too vigilant, what's there to be afraid of? Princess is here, isn't she? Then why should we be afraid of such sneaky opponents who wouldn't even show themselves. "

Another girl snickered, it was clear thay she didn't like the boy named Joseph.

" Joseph are you saying our princess isn't capable of handling such puny matters? " The other two also chimed in.

The boy named Joseph stuttered to say something but was afraid of offending them. He wasn't a high class noble, so he couldn't afford, no, he didn't dare to offend them.

Hearing the word princess, Kris frowned, one name appeared in his mind. There could only be one princess and that was Alicia.

Alicia was a person that Kris didn't want to face. She was his friend, putting their relationship aside, her strength wasn't something that someone like Kris could contend with. Duel element affinity with A-rank aptitude, she alone could defeat Kris's whole group without much effort.

Duel elemental affinity wasn't something to be truffled with.

A girl walked out in the middle, she had a flawless face with enchanting beauty, her body shape was covered by the white robe which made her looked exactly like a fairy.

It was Thomas and Walter's first time seeing the princess in person. They gazed at her with slack jawed expression as if being enchanted.

Seeing the duo's expression Anisa laughed covering her mouth with both hands.

Marie snorted coldly looking at the two, she was a beauty herself but she felt inferior compared to Alicia. Alicia was in a totally different league of her own.

Marie gazed at Kris, she saw Kris had a serious expression on his face.

At that moment Marie felt a little glad that he wasn't like the other two who kept lusting after beauty.

" What's the plan? "

Marie uttered slowly. Kris thought for a moment and replied. His reply was short and decisive.

" We'll go according to the plan. "

Marie looked at Kris for a few breaths of time before turning her head.

This battle would decide the final victor of their first test.
