The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

The fifth participant wore one mask and entered the fighting ring; Chaya gazed at him with hate and anger. She took out her daggers and stood in an aggressive stance.

The fifth challenger just smiled as he looked at Chaya. He had a cruel glint in his eyes. This person was not only strong but also very smart, which made him a tough opponent.

For Chaya, who was already tired, out of mana, and full of wounds, he was a very tough opponent when considering even her Stealth was useless; even surviving against him looked difficult.

The referee asked both participants if they were ready. Chaya nodded her head in response while tightening her grip on her razor-sharp daggers.

The fifth challenger took out his two swords. One was a short sword, while the other was a small, thin knife with a sharp edge. It was a knife that started out with the thickness of a normal knife, but towards the end, it was very sharp and ended with a sharp point like a needle.

He nodded after he took his weird stance. His right hand was at the front, holding the sword, while his left hand was at the back with a knife.

Even though Rishi was interested in the battle, he didn't really care who won the fight, but if Chaya somehow won, Lalit would be a little sad as all his efforts would be in vain.

The battle started. Chaya was the one who approached the opponent first; she was already at a disadvantage, and the more she fought, the harder the battle would become.

She was planning to end the battle as soon as possible, so she used stealth and attacked the opponent with a cut attack.

This time she had faked her attack many times and changed her position several times before actually attacking her opponent.

She had complete confidence that she would succeed, but instead of the scream of her opponent, only a 'clang' sound could be heard.

Chaya looked carefully and saw that there was a small knife blocking her attack, despite being so thin. It was able to stop Chaya's attack. The opponent, who had his back facing Chaya, turned and slashed his sword toward her.

Chaya used her two daggers to defend herself from the sword's impact, and when she looked at her opponent's face, instead of disappointment, she saw a cunning glint in his eyes and a mocking smirk on his lips.

He used his knife to stab Chaya in the heart; everyone who looked at the battle was shocked when they saw this. No one was able to believe that Chaya, who had been able to hold herself on her own until now, was defeated so easily.

Even after winning the battle, there was no joy on the face of the fifth challenger; he was scanning his surroundings in search of something. His eyes moved from one corner of the fitting ring to another, but he couldn't find even a trace of his opponent.

Chaya, whose heart was pierced, disintegrated into small particles and disappeared. The fifth challenger suddenly jumped back, but when he looked at his previous position, he was not able to find anything.

The smell of the chemical used by Lalit has also become very faint. The fight continued for some time before Chaya was able to destroy the mask the opponent.

The fifth opponent wore the second mask before wearing a helmet above him to protect his mask. If he wanted, he could have used it from the beginning, but he wanted Chaya to waste her energy on destroying his mask while he broke her will by using this method.

Chaya stomped her feet in displeasure when she saw the shamelessness of her opponent.

She had already figured out ways to reduce the effect of Lalit's chemical, but she wanted to bait her opponents into believing they were at an advantage, and when they showed her even a tiny weakness, she exploited it and defeated them before they could even comprehend how they were defeated.

The way Chaya used to do things—first removing her old clothes and changing into new ones—she had done it all in stealth. She used the 'Clean' skill to remove some of the chemical before using the Mana Suit to cover her whole body in mana and stop the leakage of any scent from her.

If she had used normal stealth, this whole plan would have been too costly, and due to her high mana expenditure, she would have had no choice but to surrender.

Instead of using normal stealth, she was using the stealth combo that Rishi had taught her. She smiled once again when she looked at Rishi before starting to attack once again.

No one could figure out when was going in her head.

The 'Mana Suit' skill didn't use mana; it burned mana, but then some assassins used it because it was very useful in hiding presence, which gave assassins a good chance to escape, but in a fighting ring where you had to defeat your foe, this skill was useless.

The fifth Challenger was not sure how Chaya was able to hide her presence, but he also knew that the cost of using such methods would charge a high amount of mana.

He was not a fool to believe that Chaya was not able to find a way to counter the method used by Lalit.

He used his skill 'Poison Aura' to release some amount of poison into the air; he had been doing it from the start of the battle.

The poison he had used was colorless and odorless and even took some time to take effect, but with Chaya's body covered in wounds and her approaching him to attack, the rate of poison spreading in her body would increase.

Once the poison is in her body, he doesn't need any mask to smell her presence as he has a passive ability called 'Toxin Sense', which gives him the ability to sense poison. Three minutes had already passed, and only two minutes were left.

The battle continued. Chaya attacked her opponent again; this time, she even succeeded in landing some blows on him, but even with her high senses, she was not able to detect the poison circulating inside her body.

Chaya got even more confident as time passed and started using high damage-dealing skills like 'Back Stab, but her opponent was very cunning and used a barrier-type skill to shield her attacks.

When she realized that she was running out of mana, she decided to use 'Exterminate.' Her two daggers started shining in a crimson red glow as she approached and attacked her enemy.

The opponent felt a chill behind his spine and used his barrier skill while also using his weapons to block the skill.
