My Multisystem In Isekai-Chapter 131 A Common Enemy
Based on that, the more powerful an individual turned out to be, the harder would be the test for them as more people would group together to fight it out with them for survival.
But even Mabel had never foreseen the fiasco that was happening right in front of her eyes. She had never expected that someone so strong would appear that he would force all the remaining participants to either go into hiding or to join together.
This was the biggest gathering of players so far to defeat a common enemy. Mabel looked at the leading name on the points screen. It had remained unchanged for a while now. She didn't know for sure if he was the one who had given the rest a run for their money but she believed it was him. It could only be him. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢
Zavier had unknowingly stepped into the land mine that had been put in place by the designer of the test to single out the leading figure in the competition.
Mabel was curious about the person who had earned the ire of such a large group. She also wanted to know who the person who had triggered such a large movement was but she had to wait until the end of the first test in order to know that information.
Almost all the participants had finished gathering into groups of various sizes but the strongest groups were undoubtedly Gabby's group that comprised of two hundred students and Kevin's group that comprised of one hundred and fifty students in total. There were several groups that were made up of fifty odd individuals but these groups were mainly vultures who had no intention of taking a part in the raid itself. The only reason that they had even gathered and come together with the other groups was because they wanted to take advantage of the pandemonium that would surmise when the raid would take place.
These were the people who were indifferent to the misfortune of the others and were only interested in their own benefit. Zavier was quite wary of this type of individuals because they were able to stab anyone in the back without a single thought.
Even though these groups existed, there were others who wanted to really fight against the trio. This group comprised of Gabby's group and Kevin's group. Since they both wanted to raid the trio, they decided to join hands but retained the leadership of their own groups instead of merging the two together.
This was so that they would be able to fight it out amongst them if they managed to defeat the trio. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦
Zavier was not one to stay passive and wait for the groups to find him. He waited until most of the details had been finalized between the two groups before switching over his consciousness to his clones that were in hiding up until that moment. Zavier had told them to keep their heads low until he told them to. He didn't want to give away the whereabouts of his clones now that every participant in the forest was after him.
As soon as he opened his eyes in the body of his clone, Zavier started to make his preparations for the upcoming raid. He knew that the fight with the other participants was inevitable. Therefore, he was planning to make sure that the other participants get to know the consequences of shaking down a tree as powerful as him.
He looked at the other two clones beside him and found a weakness. The clone with the perception system was quite weak when it came to offensive power or defense for that matter. The only thing it was good at was pre-empt danger which was unnecessary at this point of time when he had accurate information about the whereabouts of his enemy and even knew what they were planning to do. After all he was also among the attackers.
He had previously wondered if he could switch the consciousness of the clones amongst themselves and as a result of a little tinkering he had found out that not only was it very feasible, it also made the strength of the clones shoot up by a huge margin.
To increase his firepower, Zavier switched over the consciousness of the clone with the Mesmer system that was currently in his room to the one with the perception system. As a result he now had a powerhouse in the form of the clone with the Mesmer system that had made the greatest progress among all of his existing systems.
The trio now consisted of two clones that formed the basis of their offensive strategy. They had the strongest offensive combination that Zavier could have pulled off. One was him and the other was the clone with Mesmer system that was now inhabiting the body of the clone with the perception system.
Zavier was feeling confident after a wild arrow from his bow had hit the target quite accurately. Therefore, he went ahead with his plan to attack the group that was being assembled against him. He felt that the element of surprise was the biggest difference between the winner and the loser in any game or battle. Therefore, he was going to strike when it was impossible for the enemy to even anticipate his strike. This would not only cause more damage to the enemy but it would also allow Zavier to stop them from gathering even more alliance members.
Zavier wasn't mad enough to launch a head on offensive on the two teams trying to pin him down. The plans and strategies in his mind had yet to take the form of complete and impossible fantasies and he still had his wits about him so he didn't think he was a superhuman who could fight a war by himself.
As soon as the other party had gathered into such a huge group, the competition had become something more than a simple test. The fights and skirmishes that had been happening all over the forest had turned into a fully fledged war with Zavier's clones as the ultimate evil plaguing the forest. Not only that, it also had the elements of internal strife that existed between alliances in such situations, and not to even mention espionage that Zavier himself was carrying out. He was basically supplying information about the alliance to the enemy.
It had everything that Zavier knew about war in his previous life. This was no doubt a battlefield and Zavier wanted to tell his enemies that too. He wanted them to be afraid of when they would be attacked by the mysterious trio. He wanted to terrify them so they would stay on toes all the time.
By doing this, Zavier would be able to wear down the enemy without exerting himself too much and he would only have to make brief appearances amongst the enemy to accomplish that.
He was planning to do the same thing that had happened to his group during the class mission to the enemies but he struck off that thought as soon as it came to his mind. The reason was that his schoolmates were also a part of the alliance. He didn't want to burden them because he could not tell them to rest at ease just because he had a gut feeling that the enemy wouldn't hurt any of them specifically. After all he couldn't reveal the truth of the mysterious trio to them. Another reason was that Dahila was a part of the team as well. He didn't want her to experience the same feeling again. She must have been traumatized by the previous experience and he didn't want to open up her wounds all over again.
Still, Zavier didn't feel that his plan to strike earlier was bad.
He launched an offensive towards the team that was stationed closest to the clones. The team itself was spread out and was not focused on defense at all. There were clusters formed amongst the whole spread and Zavier targeted those clusters first. This was because he was outnumbered immensely and had to take care of his targets before they could be reinforced by more teams from all around them.
To increase his efficiency even further, Zavier didn't try to hurt any of the participants seriously. He only incapacitated them and made sure that they wouldn't be able to wake up before the event was over.
The students who were busy planning to get their hands on the cards of the mysterious trio after the raid were taken by surprise at the sudden onslaught of the masked men. They were fumbling about in terror and were hardly able to stand properly. Their stumbling legs and fidgeting bodies were clearly telling the story of how useless they were in times of crisis.
They had been too full of themselves thinking that the trio would be trying to hide from them now that they had managed to gather this large group. The target that they had been planning to raid had sneaked up on them first which they were unable to handle.
Zavier took advantage of the confusion and paved the path with bodies strewn about unconscious of what a gruesome sight they all formed. The students who kept rushing towards him fell down one after the other from a single strike from his clones while none of their attacks had managed to reach Zavier or his clones. They were both hallucinating under the illusions and attacking their own teammates due to that or they were asleep on the ground amidst all the commotion feeling as if the hard ground was the most comfortable bed that they had ever lain in.
