The group started on their 3-1 split plan, as Anna quickly started to scale the hill behind the camp and Asiva sneakily opened the cap on one of the blood bottles given to her by the Saint Maximus Clan under the pretext of ' Supplies ' as she started to make a blood circle using it.

Max's skill just needed blood of any bipedal species to work, and had no other blood requirements that stated that the blood needed to be of an enemy, or whether it had to be fresh.

Apparently even stale blood worked when it came from a bipedal origin.

The blood that Asiva used right now was high quality human blood that was allowed by varsity to be carried into battle after being classified as a ' Food ' item.

As the circle was completely drawn around the base, Max felt a connection with the blood in his surroundings as he murmured the spell name.

[ Death circle ]

Max lost about 10% of his stamina bar as the spell took effect.

" Woo, it suddenly got colder in here " Asiva said as she got goosebumps all over her skin once the temperature suddenly dropped by 3-4° once the death circle was activated.

" Guys i'm in position". Anna shouted from over the hill, as Max and Asiva understood that the team was now in battle formation and ready to fight.

Sebastian had already ventured out into the burnt parts of the forest on his own, looking for easy prey to kill, while the others braced for a fight.

In the next two hours the sun in the area finally set down, as the day turned into night, with the overall visibility dropping drastically.

A total of two bases near the group base were taken off the map, which meant that there was a high possibility that Sebastian was at play.

While most normal players would be affected big time due to this debuff, Max and Asiva had no issue seeing in the dark because of their Nightblade bloodline, as the moon was a better friend of theirs than the sun in any case.

Anna too could see well enough in the dark, although not as good as the day, but her visibility was not completely impaired due to being an elf.

" Enemy Inbound! Northwest! ". Anna shouted from the hilltop, as Max and Asiva prepared themselves to brace for the first battle.

" Awooooooooooooo ".

A distinct werewolf howl could be heard as 10 glowing orange, green and blue eyes could be seen staring at the duo against the dark of the forest.

" Werewolves…. ". Max and Asiva said together with almost an equal distaste.

Apparently both of them shared a deep dislike of the species from past experience.

Five broad wolves entered the clearing out of the forest and near the base as they started to circle the base outside Max's death circle line.

" Ruff, woof, nuff ".

One of the wolves barked/ grunted as the other wolves became more conscious of the trap.

Shwap!

One arrow hit an unaware werewolf right in its beautiful green eyes from the hilltop, as Max immediately reacted for a follow-up attack blasting it with a ' Fireblast ' from its now blind-side.

-800!

The werewolves' health was in a critical red after the arrow lodging into its eye and being hit by a powerful fireblast, as it's fur coat was still streaming and on fire post the attack.

" Look Ravan, idiots who left their base undefended by bringing all their members out for a hunt are here! ". Asiva said in a sarcastic tone, as she mocked the werewolves for their stupid tactic.

One of the wolves transformed from its full wolf transformation to a half-man-half-wolf transformation and said " We are not stupid, when we kill everyone around our base, there will be no need to defend our base!

We are the danger that knocks on other people's doors!

We are- "

Shwap!

An arrow impaled itself through the open-mouth of the beast as Max was quick to follow it up this time too with a fireblast!

-1500 critical hit!

[ System Notification ] - you have killed tier 1 player ' Bailey '

+1200 exp

+1 set of common wolf claws.

[ System Remark ] - Killing someone mid-speech? How distasteful….

The man-wolf transformation had lowered the players defences, allowing Max to score a critical hit as it died.

The other group of wolves apparently lost it seeing one of their members die, as they charged wildly towards Max and group with three attackers attacking Max and Asiva while one furiously climbing the hill.

Max quickly drew out his sword, as Asiva started to quickly throw daggers towards the already injured werewolf who had no means to heal himself with all potion items being banned in the tournament.

As one of the werewolves lunged at Max, he felt a slight flashback of the last scene before his death, as he was brutally dismantled by a group of wolves, and his nephew's kidnapped.

Max's blood boiled with anger over this memory, as his primordial vampire instincts kicked in turning him into a ruthless killer.

Max sidestepped the lunge of the werewolf by rolling through to his right, his explosive speed being too much for the werewolf to adjust his course as it missed its mark.

Max had trained way to hard inside the gravity chamber to be outsped by a stupid werewolf as after rolling through once he immediately jumped with all his might, as before the werewolf could even react, Max brought down his sword straight into its back.

-650

The werewolf struggled and roared and protested, however, Max outwrestled the beast with sheer strength as he kicked the beast against the base of the hill with a mighty kick to its jaw and followed it up by impaling its neck through to the soil behind.

-2200 critical hit!

The wolf stared at Max with its blue eyes, hate evident even with its dying embers, but Max did not care as he said coldly " Night night bitch ".

Max removed his new sword the Bloodsucker out of the beast's neck, as its bleed effect caused a fountain of blood to erupt out of the werewolf post its injury.

The beast was alive but in a critically low HP, however, Max did not finish it off himself as he let the bleeding and the death circle claim it's life just 7 seconds later.

Instead Max focused on covering Asiva who had already finished off the weaker werewolf and was now taking on the alpha wolf by herself.
