Earth's Alpha Prime

The ones spearheading the Battle would be the ones at Tier-3, and there were just 58 of them. Whereas the monster army has 976 of them at Tier-3 Low-Phase.

Among those 58, all were members of the Top-25 teams. Out of which, 10 of them were the Earth\'s Alpha Chosen.

Except for Olivia, Dante, Andrea and Min-soo, each was assigned the role of a Commander along with the likes of Akor, Pompa, Vral, Vorqen, Tyuk and Halbor.

{A/N: Vral is the female Centaur with <RESILIENCE >, who fought against Halbor in the 1st Match.

Tyuk and Vorqen are the ones who were ranked 13th & 14th, respectively, in the Trial World Leaderboard.}

Each of those twelve individuals was put in charge of a Battalion that consisted around 800 individuals.

Every Battalion was further divided into 20 Platoons, each containing 40 Alpha Chosen.

MJ organised the Battalions in a way that the ones that make up the ranks mostly match the abilities of the Commanders.

The Battalion Kasim commanded was composed mostly of Earth Innate Talent users and Blunt Weapon users.

In the case of the Battalion under Gabriel, it was filled mostly with Wind Innate Talent users and agility-related ones.

Martial Innate Talent and Fire Innate Talent users filled Henry\'s Battalion, and Weapon Innate Talent users comprised most of Kensei\'s Battalion.

Brandon, Sergei, Akor, Pompa, Vral, Vorqen, Tyuk and Halbor had their Battalions filled with Alpha Chosen who had respective compatible abilities.

MJ planted one or two healers in each Platoon so that when they were to eventually sustain injuries in the Battle, they could recover and last longer against the monsters.

Although Andrea wasn\'t assigned a Battalion, her role was just as important as she had to take care of healing the Commanders who were about to spearhead into the Battle.

As for Kensei, he has to teleport Andrea and the Commanders out of danger when needed.

The ones with even more vital roles in the Battle Strategy were Olivia and Dante.

While the former was akin to the spine to the entire formation, the latter was the skeletal structure that holds everything from falling apart.

With Olivia maintaining the <Mind Link> among a swarm of 9000 Alpha Chosen, the things she could focus on were limited.

That was where Dante\'s role comes into play as he oversees the entire Battle to ensure the casualty remains at a low-end spectrum.

MJ positioned him at the highest elevation point on the Tournament Island, where he could spectate the entire Battle and perceive everyone\'s Fate Halos and Fate Sequences.

That way, he could intervene and steer the course of the Battle in the most favourable way possible.

However, something else outweighed the massive-scale Battle that was about to take place between thousands of Alpha Chosen and hordes of Monsters.

The side that emerges victorious will depend on the outcome of the clash between Jay and Plasma Predator.

Three others stood alongside Jay as he faced the abomination of a monster.

Felarial, the 3rd Prince, was one of them. As the Tournament Manager, he was responsible for taking care of any intruders.

However, the one he had to deal with was on par with a Tier-4 High-Phase monster.

If it were before he regressed from Tier-7, dealing with the Plasma Predator would have been as simple as blinking for him.

But with his stats that barely put him at Tier-4 Low-Phase, the most he could do was assist Jay from the side.

Aside from Felarial, the other two that played a similar role were Rex and Seath. The reason Jay chose just them had to do everything with their survivability.

While the former could use pseudo-speed energy to move at a speed no inferior to a peak Tier-4 lifeform, the latter was adept at evading attacks using his Time-related abilities, <Time Draft> <Draft Glitch>.

Only they could last against a powerful monster that could kill almost anyone in the Tournament with a single attack.

Felarial donned a full-plate armour embroidered with a mix of golden and metallic red patterns. His previous vacation look with a green-flowered loose shirt and brown shorts was replaced with a noble one, befitting his royal status as a Prince.

At that moment, Felarial brandished a shield and a sword at the monster that leisurely stood at the center of the Colosseum.

He mentally communicated via the \'Mind Link\' Jay had established and informed Jay, Rex and Seath of his findings on the Plasma Predator through his Grade-7 information-type skill.

\'The Fiend Subsidiary Bloodline it awakened had brought it enough stats to be on par with a Tier-4 Mid-Phase lifeform despite just being at the peak of Tier-3.

The Fiend Physique\'s regenerative abilities and defence capabilities were second to none in the entire Universe. We can only count on the fact that this monster isn\'t a pure-blooded Fiend, or else defeating it is out of our hands.

That wasn\'t all. The true danger it poses has to do with its access to the Pseudo-Plasma Energy. With such pure offensive-type energy, the attack power it could unleash would be of a peak Tier-4 monster.

With my Grade-5 Full body armour and the shield, I will be able to tank most of its attacks. Meanwhile you guys go for the thumb-sized octahedron core hidden somewhere in its body; that\'s the only weakness of a Fiend.\'

Jay nodded at all the vital information Felarial had provided and assigned Rex and Seath their roles in their fight against Plasma Predator.

\'I will be the primary damage dealer. Rex, you be the secondary damage dealer. Keep on throwing all your attacks at the monster. But make sure not to get caught by it. With the Pseudo-Speed Energy in effect, you would be on equal terms with a Tier-4 High Phase Lifeform. So, evading the Plasma Predator shouldn\'t be a problem.

Seath, with your damage output, inflicting substantial damage on this abomination is not an option.

Your part is to keep interrupting the monster whenever it has the upper hand in our confrontation. Use Draft Glitches in reserve, intending to prolong the fight as much as possible.\'

Both of them nodded at his instructions. Rex was particularly excited that Jay picked him over Akor for such a crucial fight.

Although Rex was aware Jay had chosen him to fight alongside due to the exceptionally high speed provided by the Peudo-Speed Energy, just the fact that he was given importance over Akor was good enough for him.

As for Seath, he realised the one calling the shots was the real dark horse of the Tournament.

The previous exchange between the abomination of a monster and Jay was evident that they were both at a league above his own.

Despite the danger it posed to face such a monster in close proximity, Seath didn\'t back out and was ready to fulfil his role in the fight.

As a warrior to the core, he enjoyed a challenge. He never cowered behind even when facing the Earth Team in the First Segment.

That was the same when he was facing the gruesome giant monster.

Although Seath couldn\'t deny the fear in his heart when facing the overwhelming enemy, there was a strange sense of excitement in the face of Death.

He said no more words and lunged at the Plasma Predator alongside Felarial and Rex, with Jay in the lead.
