Chapter 124 Useless
The others didn’t understand.
Katherine pointed at the ocean and said, “This tsunami is strange. It keeps charging into the city and never slows down. The sea level is rising nonstop. When that happens, teams without boats will be eliminated early. That’s when our speedboat becomes an advantage-it just isn’t apparent now p>
The others’ eyes lit up.
Still, fighting in the water was hard for them. In Katherine’s team, she was the only long-range attacker and also the strongest in damage output. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have earned the second dungeon-clear reward during the college entrance exam.
But with Joanna shining like a flawless gem ahead of her, no one paid attention to second place.
Another ten minutes passed.
The teammates exchanged looks and nodded.
“Katherine, how about you go solo? Instead of splitting points with the team, you should take them all. Even without the team bonus at the end, you’d just need to kill a thousand more monsters p>
“Yeah. Instead of all five of us sinking together, it’s better for you to break through alone. If you make the top ten, you can at least enter the Divine and Demonic Training Camp. Even if you don’t stay, you’ll still be the sharpshooter who beat an SSS-rank talent p>
“That’s right, Katherine. Go ahead-we believe in you p>
“Don’t worry, I’ll still tank monsters for you p>
“I’ll keep healing you, too p>
“Hey, were you all sneaking looks and plotting behind my back just now? You suddenly got this self-sacrificing-my eyes are getting misty p>
Under everyone’s urging, Katherine finally left the team and began fighting on her own.
Katherine possessed an extremely powerful talent, “Full-Spectrum Saturation Strike (SS)”: Your attack range covers everything within your line of sight. Full-directional coverage. Ranged damage is increased by 100%, and attacks carry a bombardment effect.
This talent would probably be even stronger as a gunner, but Katherine didn’t have the money. That class burned cash even faster than a summoner.
1/3
Her skills were also selected to match this talent-abilities that enhanced vision. As long as she could see it, she could hit it. It was practically a concept-level talent.
On the endless ocean surface, Katherine’s abilities were pushed to their limits. And with her vision-boosting skills, she could even spot sea beasts hiding beneath the water.
She unleashed everything she had, refusing to waste her teammates’ trust. In one hour, she killed 10,000 monsters and gained 100 points.
That score pushed her into the top 200,000.
As she continued to grind points, her name climbed higher and higher, like scaling a mountain.
Compared to her, things were far worse on Ivan’s side.
They had prepared plenty of underwater potions, but the water flooding the city was filthy, unfiltered sewage filled with mud and sand. There was almost zero visibility underwater. They had little experience fighting in water and could only rely on high-rise buildings.
This left Ivan with no room to perform.
The team’s ranking stayed near the back.
By the end, it was just mages and archers scrambling to land the final hit on water monsters.
It was pretty useless.
Ivan sighed helplessly. “How about this-you guys form a team without me. I’ve already been guaranteed admission to Voidstar University. Splitting one-fifth of my points with you won’t help anyway. I thought I could support you, but I’m just dead weight p>
His teammates hurried to persuade him, but Ivan had made up his mind. He cleanly handed the captain position to the shaman and left the team, though he stayed nearby to protect them at all times.
Soon, the time hit the fifth hour.
By then, the seawater had risen over 130 feet, completely submerging the entire city. All lower buildings were underwater, and only floors above the thirteenth were still usable.
Conflicts among professionals intensified.
Every rooftop was packed with people, while the sea beasts gathered together and began counter-surrounding the professionals.

“This won’t work-if this keeps up, we’ll be trapped here p>
“Buy cargo ships, buy cruise ships-does Joanna have them p>
“One hundred million Starcoins-what idiot would buy that p>
“Damn, it’s sold p>
A cargo ship moving through the city was impossible to miss. Standing at the bow was a man in silver armor, riding a massive rooster with dragon-like claws and golden scales around its neck.
Strange as it looked, it radiated menace at a glance. One system scan was enough to tell—it was a golden-tier pet.
That man was a knight.
Only someone with a mount was a true knight.
“Candidates from Celine Star, get on the ship. Let’s fight together-we’re heading outside the city to hunt sea beasts p>
Everyone turned to look at him.
Then they saw players from all over rushing toward his ship.
Before long, the large vessel was packed with people, hunting monsters as it moved steadily out of the city.
“That SSS-rank talent candidate from Celine Star-isn’t his name Arron Lowe? A third- generation professional. His grandpa is already level 92. The heir is doing charity work, huh p>
