There was little to no difference between their timings of attack as if they had pre planned everything and knew exactly when they were going to resist against Zavier.

It looked as if three of them had all but forgotten about their earlier defeat at his hands as they proceeded to use the same tactic as before.

The three of them spanned out and surrounded him from all sides before attacking in their own individual way.

Ibeniah rushed in to engage him as the rest of them prepared their own attacks. Unlike before, his claws were even deadlier and longer. He made a bee line for Zavier and used his superior hand to hand combat skills that he specialized in. But this time, he tried to keep a semblance of sanity so that he could avoid an incoming attack too.

Last time, he had been too confident of his strength to even take countermeasures against being one upped by a skinny looking person.

Zavier saw him coming and released his blood wall to defend against his claws. Unlike before where he had handled him one on one; this was a one vs. three fight that might prove to be slightly difficult for him. Therefore, he found it necessary to use Blood Blade in order to wrap up the fight as soon as possible.

Like a moth towards flame, Ibeniah too struck the wall with all his strength in an attempt to take it down but he didn't know that even S rank mages as strong as Kyouko had been unable to take that blood wall down with their normal attacks. Sparks flew in all directions originating from the collision of Ibeniah's claws and Zavier's blood wall.

At the same time Zavier had to keep track of the other two enemies as well so he employed his Time Space eye that provided him the whole view without any obstructions.

He looked at Gabby first who was preparing some kind of huge spell as tiny bat like shadowy creatures rose up from beneath Gabby's cloak as if it was some kind of infinite holding space for those shadowy creatures who seemed to have no end to them.

The bats flew in his direction from all sides while he kept trying to defend against Ibeniah who was raining fists like there was no tomorrow.

As soon as the first bat touched the blood wall, Zavier found out the ability of the bat-like creatures. They were like precision guided bombs that homed in on their target and exploded on contact.

A rain of explosives ensued as a result. But of course Zavier remained untouched as if all the explosions and the sweat on Ibeniah's body had nothing to do with him.

As Zavier was busy trying to defend himself against the explosive shadow bats, Gabby began preparing a sonic attack that would have put even his own last attempt to shame. The sonic attack took Zavier by surprise as his vision had been restricted by the bats that were surrounding him from all directions.

Zavier started feeling some vertigo as soon as the sonic attack disrupted his senses. A bout of dizziness took over him but he was still struggling to stand straight and was somehow busy warding off the explosive bats and the continuous barrage of attacks from the already crazy Ibeniah.

For the first time since the start of the competition, Zavier felt that someone had managed to affect his fighting capability.

While his two teammates had been fighting the battle in order to wear down Zavier who was too strong for even the three of them combined, Macbeth had been gathering mana. Zavier didn't know what this third idiot was planning but he had been keeping an eye on him in case he was preparing to launch a surprise attack towards him when he wasn't looking.

Zavier had come across many such hyenas during the course of the competition so he was confident in being able to determine when the hyenas would pounce. He could tell the difference between those opportunists and the other with just the look in their eyes.

Macbeth had been chanting some weird sutra for a long time and Zavier couldn't' tell whether he was really trying to cast magic or he was praying to some unknown deity.

Unknown to Zavier, Macbeth had been doing both. He had been chanting to complete his strongest spell while praying at the same time that his teammates would be able to hold him off until then.

Macbeth sighed in relief when his dragon sword finally released a giant dragon that raised his head in absolute superiority that could make even the gods bow their heads in front of it.

The dragon looked so real that at first even Zavier thought that the dragon sword in Macbeth's hand might have had a dragon sealed inside it that was waiting for an opportunity to wreak havoc upon its release. But then he managed to really look at it with his Time Space eye and saw it for what it truly was.

To the normal eyes, the dragon appeared to be as real as life itself but Zavier was able to distinguish what it was truly made up of. It was nothing more than an illusion; nothing remotely close to a real dragon but was only a shadow that was more like an attack made up of surging mana.

Of course Zavier didn't take it for granted either because it appeared to be the bloodline magic of the kid, so it was bound to be somewhat special. Moreover, the amount of mana that had been condensed to form the dragon figure was not low by any means. Zavier could not take any chances when confronted with a giant ball of mana that had been condensed into the form of a bullet. Even the air surrounding the dragon looked warped and was constantly twisting and turning which was an indication of how much the trouble it could put Zavier in.

Therefore, Zavier pre-emptively released a lot of blood from his body in order to be able to both attack and defend using the flexibility offered by the Blood Blade skill.

Zavier locked eyes with the huge dragon while maintaining the blood wall that was holding off against the attacks of both Ibeniah and Gabby.

The dragon flew towards him at breakneck speed and Zavier focused on its path. He wanted to determine if the dragon could change its path midway but he felt at ease looking at Macbeth who was out of breath and was barely standing after releasing the mana dragon. It must have taken quite a lot out of him to be able to release that attack.

Zavier finally mobilized his blood and formed a huge blade spanning the length of his entire body and more. It could hardly even be called a greatsword because it looked as if it belonged to some giant from the age of mythology of his previous world.

Zavier swung his blade vertically downwards and split the approaching figure of the huge dragon. The dragon kept moving due to momentum as it passed by Zavier and the rest who were now watching the result of the confrontation with open mouths. This attack that Macbeth had unleashed had never failed like this before. This had always been their trump card for beating opponents who were more powerful than them.

The strategy had always worked because half of their opponents became terrified at the sight of the dragon and the other half were not strong enough to handle such an attack that consumed all the mana inside the body and some from the ambient air and discarded it all at once in a giant condensed ball of mana which led to an explosion upon impact; an explosion that was large enough to take care of most of their enemies at their level.

The dragon split in the middle and its two portions fell towards the sides as it crashed into the ground a little further from the battle. An explosion that shook all of them took place but it was too far away for them to be affected much.

Since Zavier had taken care of the greatest threat, he wanted to get rid of the small fries as well since he had to ascertain if Dahila was all right or not. Even though he didn't show concern for her in front of her assailants, that didn't mean that he truly didn't care for her at all.
