The Greatest Sinner

Chapter 123 - Killing The Ogre

Lars and Chloe jumped down and joined the battle. Thanks to Evan's initiative, the situation had moved on and they had finally stopped running from the monsters.

After looking around the battlefield, Evan thought to himself, <Hmm, I didn't expect those two to decide to jump down, too. I think they know very well that they're taking a big risk by doing something like that.>

Chloe and Lars thought they were among the strongest in this challenge, their main competitors being Evan and Enni. Nevertheless, they had attacked the monsters, even though they knew that Evan and Enni could stay upstairs and just watch them fight.

Of course, Chloe and Lars had their own opinions on this, they knew what they were going for. Evan was surprised at their decision.

Whoosh.

Unexpectedly for Evan, Enni jumped down after Lars and Chloe. Besides Evan, she was the only one without a team. She could have continued to stand on top, but the girl still decided to attack the monsters.

Evan was faced with a dilemma: he could join the others or watch them fight.

<This Ogre is almost dead, but the others are just around the corner... what should I do?> Evan didn't worry that the other participants could be seriously injured, he didn't care.

The only question he cared about was <Will I be able to kill the final monster alone?>

While Evan was thinking, the teachers in the arena were discussing the situation. They were encouraged by such a drastic change in the battlefield.

"AHAHAHAHAHA, this guy has surprised me once again. He started throwing other contestants into the water, it's absurd! AHAHAHAHAHA."

The man in the silver mantle was very pleased with Evan's actions. They were bold and unpredictable, he had rarely seen anything like it.

"Well, he's certainly good, but those two decided to jump down themselves. They figured they'd better help the others, so they could definitely make it to the finals. They decided not to take the risk, but to act now. The ability to make the right decisions is more important than most other things." The girl in the silver mantle calmly said.

"Uh, who says it's the right decision? We don't even know what kind of monster will be at the end yet. They are wasting their strength now, maybe then they won't even be able to land a single blow. I think it's better to make others fight and leave your strength for the fight with the stronger opponents." Said the man in the silver mantle.

As in the case with the participants of this trial, the teachers' opinions differed sharply from one another. Each of them was right on one side. Moreover, as that man said, neither the students nor the teachers had knew yet what the monster would be at the end.

This was so that they would evaluate the students' actions without knowing what would happen next. If the teachers were aware of what the monster would be at the end, they would immediately know who acted right and who didn't. But, that assessment would have been unfair: it's always easy to speak knowing the course of events ahead of time.

The monsters for this test had been prepared by the selected older students. Both students and teachers thought these monsters were weak, so the older students risked nothing.

While the other teachers were arguing, Draven turned to Arabella, "Tell me, are you interested in anyone? You never take on students unless they've been at the Academy for at least a few years."

Arabella was the head of the Academy of Magic - "The Last Moon", it was incredibly prestigious to become her student. It was the best reward for every student at the Academy. Arabella had students, but they were all the older students. She saw no point in personally tutoring someone who had just entered the Academy.

"No, you know me, maybe one of them will interest me later. What about you? Don't you want to take someone as a student? I think this guy is quite capable and suits your spirit." Arabella said calmly, looking at Evan.

Draven shook his head, "I don't know, I didn't really want to take anyone as an apprentice yet, but perhaps I will change my mind."

Arabella knew Draven well and was well aware that Evan had his attention. She was sure that Draven would ask Evan to be his student.

Evan looked over at the mortally wounded Ogre and quietly muttered, "Well, I guess I should join this mess, too."

Whoosh.

Evan jumped down from the root and onto the icy platform. He thought long and hard about what he should do, but in the end, he decided to help with the killing of the Ogres. His main goal was to kill the last monster, so he didn't want to bet everything on luck and hope that he could single-handedly defeat the last monster.

Evan couldn't take that much risk; if it was necessary, he could leave the final monster to die and deal with the rest of the contestants. Right now he needed to kill the Ogres, moreover he didn't know how the territory would change next time.

Whoosh.

Evan landed on the ice platform and ran quickly toward the Ogre. The other contestants were attacking it intensely, and Evan wasn't going to stand by. It`s necessary to kill it before the other four Ogres appeared.

Bam.

The monster hit the ice platform with its axe with all its might, breaking it in two, but that attack didn't stop anyone. The Ogre was strong, but not particularly fast. The "Creators" and "Summoners" were standing behind and out of harm's way, while the "Amplifiers" were acting directly.

Their reaction time and speed were high enough to easily evade every Ogre`s attack.

Evan quickly bounced to the side, bypassing the axe blow, and quickly leaped toward the Ogre.

Swing.

The guy swung his scythe and the snow-white blade plunged into the monster's left eye. The monster immediately howled in pain. Evan attacked again, leaving a wide wound on the Ogre's chest, which was immediately covered by a thick layer of ice.

Whoosh.

The monster swung its second arm in an attempt to get rid of Evan. But, by that moment Evan was already on the ice platform. He was pleased with his attack, he had been able to do quite a bit of damage to the Ogre in such a short time.

The scythe blade was sharp enough to cut through the Ogre's tough armor, Evan was once again glad he had such a fine weapon.

Seeing the Ogre weakened, the other students piled in it all at once. The monster was attacked with various weapons and many spells. Parts of the Ogre burned, while others were pierced by ice spikes.

Seconds later, the Ogre sustained serious wounds and lost an enormous amount of blood. The monster unclenched its fist, dropping its massive axe into the water, then collapsed itself.

This Ogre was the first of five. Each of the participants contributed and they were able to deal with it fairly quickly.

But, no one was in any hurry to relax, as the remaining Ogres were already close by.
