In an unknown forest west of the Dreamscape!

Roar!

= "Elf Viryon, slow it down!" =

= "Don't order me, Van…tch, now I feel like I'm being slave around by the oaf!" =

= "Vir, just do it, I'll support you guys." =

Vir complained some more but in the end, he jumped back and green light exploded from his body.

= "Serpentine Vines!" =

The beast we were hunting began to flail as it tried to get away.

= "Hold him for ten seconds, I'll end give Van an opening." =

= "You better hurry, I can't hold this bitch down for too long!" =

In front of us was a Dragonborn Bull, its hide is thick and strong, its fur is rigid and pointed like daggers. It was a beast that is as annoying to deal with as it is to actually kill. It was a beast that is at Platinum-grade and its corresponding points is 300 points.

And to my surprise, Van, and Vir was already at Platinum-Grade Rank-1, making the hunt the ever easier.

However, with us having such a high-power level, it felt like the ones organizing this thing is aiming to take us out because, since the first monster we encountered, it's always at Platinum-Grade.

It is taxing to hunt these monsters, but it is also rewarding because they give out a lot of points!

And now, as Vir bounds the Dragonborn Bull, I began preparing my spell.

= "Oh great flame, wind, show your sharpness and tear the one in front of me, create a spear that shall pierce the ninth heaven, [Serpent Hunt]. Oh water, gather around my spear and hunt for the strongest beast, support the wind and create the storm, [Maelstrom Spear]…Water-Wind combination Spell….! This is hard to control." =

As I uttered the command of the spell, the mana of each origin world began to form with my request. As I gather more and more mana, the more potent the hunting spear became.

The water revolved together with the water, and as the revolving water sped up more and more, the spear became sharper.

Vir watched as the ten-meter long water wind spear become deadlier by the second.

= "Xir! I can't hold this one much longer!" =

Snap!

The vines bounding the bull fell apart and it run past Vir and aimed for me who was radiating the most danger from the group!

This is a massive amount of mana and I can't tell what kind of tier this spell, and as I completed the spell, I screamed.

= "Get ready! [Leviathan Hunt Spear]!" =

The wind and water element complemented one another and as it flew out, creating a storm-like image. The spear was around ten meters long and five meters wide, I failed to compress its strength and the bull who saw this coming towards it decided to meet it with its thick skull!

The bull roared as it fought with the maelstrom. Even in this form, I was forced to control the spell and continuously pump mana into it, and as the revolving water finally drilled enough into its skull, it was finally time to let go!

Fwu!

The sudden disappearance of the spell caused the bull to stumble on the ground. And as it ate dirt and fell, a figure with a tan skin appeared from above.

Van was above kicking the air, producing powerful enough force to stay afloat.

Martials do not have enough control over elements to fly, what Van was doing was controlling his body, and the burst of wind element coming out of his body.

And as he climbed higher and higher into the clouds, he finally descended it was enough as he reached 500 meters up!

= "500-meter Star Drop!" =

He yelled and with the weight of his body and hint of the fire element, he ignited his feet and delivered an ax kick on the opened wound of the bull!

The hide of the bull that was littered with sharp dagger-like stubbles was what made this hunt difficult, but as I made an opening for Van and he may be a little stupid but in terms of combat, he is far keener than Vir and I.

This opening is not something he would miss!

BooM!

When his hell touched the bull's head, fire burst.

The thick skull of the bull it uses to ram everything exploded into pieces and dust created smokescreen!

And as it was lifted, there was Van screaming as he bathed in the blood of his prey!

= "Raaaaa!" =

He was like a beast, unlike the Titans I met.

The 300 points were taken by Van and as we separated it three-way, we looked at the ranking, and there, our name was secured at the top. All three of our names had the same ranking of one as we all split the points of a Platinum-grade three-way no matter who killed the beast.

= "Good one, Human Xir, I can feel you are doing more than Elf Viryon over here!" =

= "Ah, shut up you big oaf. If not for me placing a curse on the bull and decreasing its speed and strength, you would have already been skewered!" =

= "What did you say!? I never received any help from you!" =

= "Huh!? Who had been saving your ass this whole time, you slow titan!" =

= "I'll kill you!" =

As the two fought for the seventh time these two days, I sighed and focused my effort on recovering my mana.

And after ten minutes, the two finally got tired of it and we head on our way.

We do not need to do anything or find anything because we have our mission and this is a dreamscape so no detour was needed. We only need to hunt monsters. Also, we need no rest because Vir can whisk our fatigue away with a simple spell.

The spell will lose effect in twenty days and the fatigue will soon after though, but we'll be long out of here so it doesn't really matter.

The hunt continues, and I thought it was going to stay like that until the tenth day is reached, but what I didn't know is that at this moment, Lethias had appeared before the Tier-7 Mage Halvesta and took over his body with a spell known as Soul Seize thereby getting control of the Dream Spectre.

Lethias laughed as she connected to mind of the Dream Spectre.

= "So, they managed to get my research? Well, it took them this long to actually make use of it when I did it in three days speaks a lot about the people of the sanctuary! And they can't control it fully yet, so this is going to be easy. Okay, now, where is Xir…there you are…how many monsters are in the Dreamscape? 378? Okay, good enough, now, let me empower them, kill every other contender and lock the mind of the Dream Specter so no forceful extraction of examinees can be done, and forceful termination results in pain, and then...have the monsters actively find Xir! And done!" =

Ten minutes later, Halvesta would notice the changes as he regains his consciousness, and as Seeker Association found no means to stop what Lethias had done without their knowledge, the true examination began.

But this examination is not for the Seeker Association examinees, but for Xir alone.

Somewhere in a room where the association monitors what is happening was Lethias watching with interest as she mumbles.

= "I created this system for Xir, no one should say about me doing this right?" =
