Another World Mall-Chapter 561: Sudden Score Spike
"They’re coming!" Melody said.
"Let’s go, Reolf!" Luci cheered, her right hand holding on to Reolf’s body while her left hand was waving. She seemed to be enjoying herself riding Reolf.
Reolf, on the other hand, was chased by close to a hundred beasts. He skillfully moved past the forest and gradually reached an open area.
Hana and Kanaria were standing on the right side.
Hana’s drones were flying a few meters above them, revealing their respective weapons.
When the beasts saw her, Hana immediately activated her drones, shooting down the beasts one after another.
Kanaria wasn’t planning to lose. She used her sniper rifle and killed multiple beasts in a single shot, as the bullet not only pierced through several bodies but also destroyed them.

The beasts had to move slightly away from them. They wanted to attack them, but there were three people in front of them: Clovis, Jay, and Erwin.
Melody and Ragna were on the left side. Melody shot them, but her firepower was not as powerful as Hana or Kanaria. As a result, some beasts were trying to attack them. However, Kanaria had previously said that they had a natural terrain.
Due to the sharp elevation, the beasts had a hard time coming toward them. Ragna was also there to push all the beasts away.
As a result, most of the beasts ended up continuing their way toward the trio.
"We have created the walls on the side. All we need to do now is kill them," said Clovis while pulling out his swords.
"Oh!" Erwin and Jay smirked. Both of them leaped forward.
Erwin waved his hand, using the strings to cut down and even drag several beasts. Jay swung his saber, cutting down two beasts every single time.
Luci and Reolf had already passed them and stopped behind them, ready to join the fight.
As soon as Luci jumped off Reolf’s back, Clovis rushed toward the beasts, advancing at bullet speed. He cut down all the beasts.
This was Clovis’ plan. He lured them and created two walls on the sides so that the beasts would be focused on the center and left the brute force to him, Jay, and Erwin.
On the other hand, Christina was provoking the beasts in her surroundings.
"Come!" The beasts instinctively charged toward her, ignoring the humans around them.
As a result, all five people in her group took down the beasts one by one at fast speed.
When the beasts reached her, Christina simply fought them with two shields. She managed to withstand all those beasts without sustaining a single injury.
She didn’t kill any beasts due to the nature of her fighting style, but it didn’t change the fact that it was because of her that the group managed to kill all these beasts so easily.
Christina took a deep breath. "Good. We’ll continue at this pace. We should be able to create a gap between us and win this hunting competition."
"Yes, miss."
Obviously, their hunting competition was monitored closely by Marhan and his team, making sure nothing went wrong.
"How is it going?" Marhan asked while casually entering the control room.
His team, who had been monitoring the points, immediately informed him, "They’re doing pretty well, especially the young miss."
Libation Fiesta: 6,700 points.
Elseingarde: 16,540 points.
"Oh!" Marhan took a glimpse at the points and nodded in understanding. "The young miss almost tripled their number, so I guess this point difference is understandable."
"That’s what we thought as well, but…" One of them scratched the back of his head, wondering if he should tell him or not.
"What’s wrong?"
"The Libation Fiesta started extremely slowly. Until two hours ago, they were still about 2,000 points. However, their number soared within those two hours."
Marhan thought for a moment before shaking his head. "It’s fine. It’s not that rare. They might have found a nest or something, which gives them a lot of kills.
"Or the young miss might have been too focused on gathering their essence. Nevertheless, they are still within our expectations, so it’s fine."
The guy pondered. "Sir… If I’m not mistaken, the young miss is planning to join them if she loses…"
Marhan frowned. "Are you doubting the young miss? She has a unique ability. It’s her destiny to become a Tier 9 human in the future. Do you think she will lose?"
"No, sir…" He furiously shook his head, afraid that he would die.
"Anyway, I should praise the Libation Fiesta for being able to maintain this difference. If they’re going to continue this way, I have no doubt that they will be able to get half of the points of the young miss.
"If the young miss challenges his group with only six members, I believe she might lose. It shows how extraordinary this Libation Fiesta is. However, he is such a fool if he thinks he will be able to defeat the young miss with such disadvantages." Marhan snorted.
Clovis was too arrogant, he thought.
"Anyway, I’m going to leave. Make sure to observe their progress and tell me if there’s anything wrong."
"Yes, sir!"
Marhan didn’t know at that time he had been underestimating Clovis. Then again, no one in their right mind would think that Clovis would be able to provoke the beasts much better than Christina.
…
The next day, the man slammed open the door and shouted, "Sir… Not good!"
"What’s going on?!" Marhan was confused.
"Please take a look at the score, sir!"
Still perplexed, he followed the guy to the control room to check their scores.
The guy said, "Everything is supposed to be normal and we have been observing them nonstop. However, in the last few hours, the Libation Fiesta’s scores spiked all of a sudden."
"Spikes?"
"Yes. It’s an abnormal spike that lasts for a few hours."
"Did they hack our system?"
"There is no trace of an attack."
Marhan was still confused and hurried to the room, only to get the shock of his life.
Libation Fiesta: 110,760 points.
Elseingarde: 78,840 points.
Marhan dropped his jaw to the ground as Clovis not only beat Christina’s score but also surpassed her by almost half of her point.
"W-What’s going on?"
