Chapter 564 Complete Defeat

Christina continued hunting the beasts, but the lack of beasts was so apparent that the rest of them couldn't help but notice them as well.

"Have we killed all the beasts here?"

"How about the other groups? Any reports from them?"

"This is weird. Is the other part of the island stealing our kills?"

"But we're wearing this ring. It has a censor that will notify Sir Marhan we've passed the border."

Christina's expression turned solemn. She had never thought the situation would turn out this way.

'What is going on? Is Clovis cheating? Then again, this is not considered cheating. If he is able to pull the beasts from our location, it's simply his strategy. However, what kind of strategy does he have to be able to do such a thing? Does he have a method? Hana has a drone, so does the drone attack the beasts from our side?

'I don't know what's going on, but if Sir Marhan is watching, it should be pretty safe to assume that they haven't broken any rules.'

Christina still didn't know the gap between their points. In fact, in a real competition, it wouldn't be weird for both parties not knowing each other's condition, including their point.

This way, they would be using their strategy accordingly, fully aware that the other party might do better or worse. They might fall for the pressure and lose.

That was the kind of competition they had agreed upon.

However, Christina wondered what Clovis had done and his points compared to them.

They had killed a lot of beasts, even though there was a steep decrease in the beasts in their part of the island.

So, they should get pretty decent scores.

On the other hand, she didn't think Clovis had the ability to kill all the beasts with only that number.

'Something is missing. I feel like there's a trap... What is this?' Christina gritted her teeth. She knew Clovis had done something big, but she couldn't figure out what happened.

Meanwhile, Clovis and the others were taking their time with their lunch.

"Today is the last day. It's a good hunt, right?" Clovis asked. "We have Reolf becoming Tier 3 too. Also, Luci, get away from Reolf."

Marhan looked at both of them and said, "Since you have returned, I'll be announcing the winner. Is there anything you'd like to say to each other first?"

Christina turned to Clovis with a smile. "A clever trick you've used there. To think I would be falling for that trick..."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You precisely know what I'm talking about. If not, we wouldn't have lost. Isn't that right?" Christina turned to Marhan, asking for confirmation.

"What?"

"We have lost?!"

"For real?"

The people from the Elseingarde family looked confused. No one expected they would lose, especially with this number.

Marhan smiled wryly. He projected the scores while shouting, "I don't even know how the gap becomes this big."

Libation Fiesta: 845,760 points.

Elseingarde: 398,400 points.

"!!!" Everyone from the Elseingarde family dropped their jaws to the ground.

Why did they not get even half of their points? This defeat was such a humiliation. Was their family that inferior compared to the Libation Fiesta?

Christina sighed. "I expected that we would lose, but not this much. This is a complete defeat."

"Welcome to the Libation Fiesta." Clovis smirked.

"No way! We should have won. It's because you're cheating! That trick you confirmed—!"

One of them tried to protest, but Christina raised her hand, stopping him. "Even without that trick, he could've won. Isn't that right, sir Marhan?"

Marhan nodded. "During our observation, whenever he used the 'trick' I don't know of, their score would jump. But when he didn't use it, the rate of their points increasing was still higher than all of you. It was a complete defeat. The trick was for assurance."
