A voice rang out again from the crowd,

"This system is nothing but a load of bullshit! "

Everyone gazed at the speaker. The speaker was a person with brown skin, bright green eyes and black hair that was fluttering due to the wind. His face had a long nose with a well defined jawline. He had a scabbard that rested along his right hip.

Alistair face became rather dark at this person's words.

"Care to explain further, Damian Grimthorn? "

"Hmph! Your strategy is nothing but a load of bullshit! If we were to follow you, then all of us would die! "

"You want us to get in formation in circle here? What would you do if we were to get overpowered? Fly out of this space? "

"Of course not! We will get cornered and die here with even a slight mistake. "

Alistair hesitated a little before nodding slightly,

"Then Damian, what are your suggestion regarding this? "

"Hehe. It's the opposite of your idea. My suggestion is to tackle the beast Wave! "

Alistair raised his eyes a little.

"Hear me out. The Beast Wave is coming from all the direction right? My suggestion is to divide the people in several groups and tackle the wave of beasts in each direction. "

"Your formation idea is quite good, if I say so. It would be helpful in immobilizing the beasts. Looking around, the Wave of beast is coming from all four directions. "

"If we were to divide the people around, it would only amount to a group of 30 people in every direction. "

"But it would be very difficult for a group of 30 people to hold the Beast Wave and we would surely suffer some casualty. So here, I am suggesting to set up some large scale traps. "

"These traps would be set on the boundaries of our circle where we would be staying. The circle would be of radius 100 meters."

"There's still 45 minutes till the Beast Wave enter this area. We can set up many tracks in this period of time. "

"Firstly, Every group would tackle the Beast Wave outside the circle. Try to converge the beast Wave at a small area and make them follow you. "

"The main part would be the traps. Those trap would easily immobilize the Beast Wave for a few moments. In that meantime, we will begin our counter attack. "

"This way even if we were to get cornered, we can fall back for a bit... But for this plan, I have a request to make to everyone. "

"If any of you were to ran out of Vitralis Essence, Don't hesitate to use the Luminal or Radiant or even Etherial Shards to regain the Essence. "

"This would increase the chances of your survival and the success rate of this plan. "

Damian then became silent.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

A voice rang out again from the crowd,

"All of you are missing a point. We don't have to resist the wave for 2 or 3 hours. We have to resist it for a total of 14 hours! It will be very difficult to resist the Beast Wave for 14 hours with the strategies of both of you. "

Everyone became silent again.

"I have a suggestion to make. "

A voice rang out from the crowd. This voice belonged to none other than Dante.

"The most plausible method to go for is a mixture of both of your plans. I suggest that after setting up the traps, All of the people who have purified the Ignifer Nexus' Node, burn this whole forest. "

"This way, their numbers would be reduced and they would face some obstacles. Then we would send a group of people in each direction to lure them to the traps. "

"After they have successfully fallen into the trap, we would begin with the plan of Alistair. That would complement the situation as well."

"This would enable us to resist them for a long time. What do you think? "

Alistair, Eldric and Damian thought for a moment before nodding slightly.

Damian remarrked with a smile,

"....This is a good suggestion. What's your name? "

"Dante Marcellus. "

He nodded slightly.

Alistair, Eldric and Damian then counted the number of people and divided them in different groups based on the Nodes they have purified.

There were a total of 140 people. Out of which, 50 have purified the Ecliptic Zephyr Node, 62 have purified the Aqua Maelstrom Node and 28 have purified the Ignifer Nexus' Node.

There were 5 people who have opened more than one node. They were Eldric and Alistair Ashenheart, Isabella Dorrow, Cedric Thorne and Damian Grimthorn.

With less than 40 minutes remaining, All of them began to set up traps in a circular way. These traps consisted of Quick sand, Pitfall traps, Obstacles in form of broken trees or large rocks, Small spikes on the ground that were made of rocks and others.

.....

After some time, they finished setting up the traps. With the help of over 140 people, setting up traps around the circle was easily done. This type of work was most efficiently done by those people who had purified the Ecliptic Zephyr Node.

With less than 5 minutes remaining, All of them gathered near the centre of the circle to meet.

Eldric took the lead and announced,

"The traps have finally been set up. Ignifer Team, it is upto you for your work! "

A group that consisted of 28 people nodded as left the area in a group of 7 people. There were a total of 4 groups and each of them went in their assigned direction.

[NORTH GROUP ]

This group consisted of 5 men and 2 girls. They quickly Headed towards the outskirts of the Forest and saw a Wave of beasts running in their direction.

Rumble Rumble Rumble

Even though they were not at all near, the ground seemed to shake with each of their step.

Sweats continuously dipped from their faces and their body shook a little, but they managed to hold on.

All of them activated their technique and conjured a giant inferno that was swirling around violently and burning the trees around.

"Our work is done now! Leave quickly!! "

One of them said with a shout and they all ran back towards their base.

[SOUTH GROUP]

This group consisted of 6 men and a single girl. Dante was in the lead of this team as he ran above the trees Swiftly along with other members.

Rumble Rumble Rumble

The trees began to shook a little due to the force of the Beasts! Dante signalled the group to stop and commenced his mission.

All of them activated their Technique and conjured a sea of flame that burnt the surrounding trees and was swirling in a chaotic manner.

"Leave the area now! Back to the base! "

He signalled his team before falling back.

[EAST GROUP]

This group didn't had any girl. They swiftly travelled in the outskirts of the Forest, before coming down from the trees.

Rumble Rumble Rumble

The ground shook again and this caused some of them to fall down.

They quickly got up and activated their technique and conjured a giant wall of Flame that moves forwards and continuously burned the surroundings trees.

"Mission is over. Fall back everyone! "

The man in the centre shouted before all of them fell back.

[WEST GROUP]

This group consisted of 3 girls and 4 men. They swiftly arrived at the position and jumped from the trees after feeling the shaking of the trees.

Rumble Rumble Rumble

The ground shook slightly but they didn't budge. All of them activated theor technique and conjured a giant snake of Flames that slithered along the path and burnt everything.

"Fall back everyone! "

The girl at the centre shouted and everyone left the area.

In the centre of the circle, Alistair, Eldric, Cedric, Isabella and Damian saw the sudden blasts in each direction.

"The first part of the giant plan is successfully completed. "

Eldric remarked with a smile.
