As Jake called the meeting, everyone gathered and sat together.

    "Alright, everyone, listen up," Jake began, his voice firm and commanding. "We''re up against Sophia''s team in the next round."

    "Sophia has the environmental advantage here, but we can still win. I will take care of her while the rest of you focus on her team members."

    "We will also use flames to..."

    Jake continued explaining, and his team listened carefully. After the plan was formed, Jake asked them to get ready.

    His teammates nodded, and then Jake divided the team into smaller units, instructing them to work together in formation. Soon, they armed themselves with the Ruin Items they had acquired earlier and started marching towards the plain where the fight between Jake and Sophia''s team was scheduled.

    ***

    After the announcement, Jake''s campsite welcomed an uninvited guest.

    "Ara~, it seems your team is full of competent people, Rank 1," Sophia laughed and said.

    "What do you want, Sophia?" Jake confronted her. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire

    "I am not an idiot to come here alone," Sophia said, glancing at Jake''s team surrounding her. Then, from behind the trees, her team also appeared.

    Sophia raised her hands to stop her team members and said, "I am not here to fight."

    "Then what are you here for?" Jake asked.

    "To decide the battleground," Sophia said, and then water vapors formed a map midair.

    "This is our region, and this place is only plain," Sophia pointed at the plains near the end of their region. "We will fight there, fair and square."

    Jake looked at the plains, which were adjacent to the mountain region, and nodded. "Very well."

    Sophia grinned and left.

    "Captain, is it alright to listen to her?" Cilia asked, echoing the thoughts of others.

    "Of course not. It''s clearly a trap," Jake said.

    "Then why?" Others asked.

    "You will know," Jake smiled and then called for a meeting.

    ****

    Soon Jake team reached the plains where fight with Sophia team is going to happen.

    With fury and might, let loose thy grip, let thy tendrils creep.

    Deep Sea Terror, heed my call, unleash thy wrath upon my foe,

    With tentacles of darkness, bind him tight, let him feel thy woe."

    As she spoke, shadows swirled around her, coalescing into ominous tentacles that snaked towards Jake with menacing intent.

    Meanwhile, Jake''s incantation echoed with ethereal grace, invoking the celestial realm and the power of light.

    "Angelic beings, guardians of the heavens high,

    In radiant glory, descend from the sky.

    With wings unfurled, in valor and grace,

    Strike true, my spear, and find thy place."

    As he finished his chant, a shimmering silhouette of an angel emerged behind Jake, its form radiant and majestic. With a swift motion, Jake hurled his spear towards Sophia, guided by the divine light of the celestial being.

    As the chant reached its climax, the tentacles of the Mythical Kraken, revered by Water Nymphs, surged forward with a primal ferocity. They collided with the radiant form of the celestial being, the embodiment of Jake''s elemental power. At the moment of impact, a clash of mythical forces ensued, each struggling for dominance over the other.

    The tentacles, infused with the primordial essence of the deep, attempted to ensnare the celestial being, their immense strength threatening to overwhelm it. Yet, to their surprise, the celestial being stood resilient, its divine light pulsating with unwavering strength.

    With each attempt to constrict and bind, cracks began to form in the celestial being, weakened by the sheer pressure of Deep sea terror,

    Meanwhile, amidst the chaos of the clash, Jake''s smile widened as he witnessed the effectiveness of his strategy. The spear he had unleashed earlier tore through the walls of several tentacles, guided unerringly towards Sophia. Despite the formidable defenses arrayed against it, the spear pierced through, closing the distance with swift precision.

    As the spear neared its target, Sophia''s eyes widened in realization. With a surge of determination, she focused the power of her spell into the last remaining tentacle, strengthening its defenses and causing the others to vanish, leaving only a single tentacle to shield her.

    The spear collided with the reinforced tentacle, and for a brief moment, it seemed as though Sophia''s last line of defense would hold. But as the clash persisted, the sheer force behind Jake''s attack began to overpower even the fortified barrier.

    With a resounding crack, the tentacle shattered, unable to withstand the relentless assault. The spear continued its trajectory, piercing through the remnants of Sophia''s defense and impaling her abdomen with a forceful impact.

    PUCHI!!

    A gasp of pain escaped Sophia''s lips as she staggered backward, the realization of defeat dawning upon her. Despite her best efforts, she had been outmaneuvered and outmatched by Jake''s powers.

    As Sophia collapsed to the ground, defeated but unbowed, Jake approached her, "You lost right?"

    Jake asked, with a smile.

    Sophia looked at him and said " Are you mocking me?"

    "I am not mocking you, I enjoyed it actually" Jake said as he removed the light spear and healed her.
