Chapter 707 - Sharp Shooter IV
The reason that hails or wind cutters were not being scattered in the whole battlefield is due to the Anti Mage. She only got the crowd\'s attention when she destroyed the spell created by Hou Yiwei since a lot of attention is focused on him.
"To think that his spell activates that fast that even my anti magic took time to activate. He is not the first rank player for nothing. Please tell the team that I will do my best in holding down Hou Yiwei from scoring." Null stated as she spoke to a small plant like monster that looked like a bell flower.
In the event, the chat system is actually disabled which meant that players that are away from their team would not be able to signal for help unless they do it blatantly. This is to ensure that the planning of each group would be decisive and that they will not rely on pre-established guides that their team coaches created.
The reliance on their own skills is also a great factor that added flavor to the event since it is a survival type of event. The bell flower that seated on Null\'s shoulder vibrated and released a specific sound frequency and travelled to the owner of soulbound.
A soulbound that is in a living plant that looked like a human sized Bell Flower received the information. It then disseminated the information to the other smaller bell flowers that could be described as part of its body. The owner of this soulbound is none other than a famous summoner ranker with the name of Poison Ivy.
She is a famous summoner player that is also a streamer that plants her own real flower garden in real life. She could be said to be the rival of Mariposa if not for the fact that \'The Demon\' is not a summoner as well. Still, she has a steady fan base and that she is also not of the established races in the game.
She is of the Alraune race that is said to be half plant and half spirit, but they are actually treated as monsters. The Alraune are treated as monsters because their methods of plant rearing often used the blood of other living beings which terrorized the humans.
"To think that she actually pulled off what she promised in the start of the match. She is definitely trustworthy enough just like the captain has said. I just hope that the insect lady in Team Japan does not move yet." Poison Ivy stated as she would have a headache if Mariposa started to move.
Not only are they not both summoners but they are also like natural enemies. Some plants eat insects while some insects eat plants. Their rivalry could also stem from the fact that their race is also at constant war with each other, and she disliked the fact that the insect race gained the upper hand in the war.
She does not want to admit it, but Mariposa suddenly had a power spike in the recent war in the planet called Green where the insect race and the plant race people are constantly at war. The sudden power spike of her rival could only be attributed to one person which she now hates.
"That demon guy is lucky that he is not in this event or else I would have killed him myself." Poison Ivy stated as she remembered the events of what happened in the recent War for the Green.
"Ivy! Are you there?!" The bell flower suddenly emitted the voice of a man while Poison Ivy is gathering her thoughts.
"I am here. Sorry, I spaced out a little as there are lots of verbal communication that you have been sending." Poison Ivy stated.
"That is fine but please focus now. Other teams have started to eliminate each other. Be careful and always remain covert as you are vital to our plan to win this." The male voice stated.
"Roger but that would be a bit difficult right now. I have been spotted by the most irritating individual of all. My natural enemy is here." Poison Ivy stated as she could see a swarm of butterflies suddenly converging together and forming the player called Mariposa.
"I knew that the air in the area is tainted by something. It seems that you are releasing those spores again. Thankfully, I am already immune to the effects of that awful allergy inducing powder." Mariposa taunted.
"No wonder it suddenly started to stink in here. The stink of an insect has already polluted the air." Poison Ivy taunted back which made the two ladies look at each other with sharp piercing gazes.

The teams that are actually predicted to win this event are the teams from China, Japan and Brazil. This prediction is due to the fact that two of them specialize in long range combat while one is specialized in ambushes and speed.
The unexpected meeting or rather the planned head on clash between Mariposa and Poison Ivy got the audience in their seats. This the first battle of the titans of Summoning magic are the battle between the long-time rivals. Even their fan clubs are fighting against petty things online like who is the prettiest or who is more photogenic.
"This is it guys! The two beauties of the Summoner Class have appeared before each other. Will they clash or will they avoid conflict!" The announcer stated to rile up the crowd even more.
"Who do you think will win?" Mina asked as she knew that Adrian helped the player named Mariposa a few days before the actual event.
"It would be difficult to say as the player named Poison Ivy is not a push over.." Adrian replied as he saw how they clashed in the planet called Green.
