Another World Mall-Chapter 702: Fight
"I've caught him."
"I'm getting excited." Jay pulled out his sword.
"I will be fighting it first." Erwin harrumphed.
Clovis glanced to the side. With most beasts going after Reolf's group, they only had to deal with the remaining beasts here.
Even then, there were still around 150 beasts left in the area. And one of them was a Tier 6 beast. That was why it wouldn't be an easy fight, even for the four of them.
This Tier 6 beast was a miscalculation in the plan. This mistake was so big, to the point where Aileen and Melody planned to help Clovis.
But seeing such a situation, Clovis simply smiled. "Erwin. You are to assist Christina in stopping the Tier 7 beast. You will deal with all the beasts that come your way by yourself.
"Jay. You take the left and I take the right. We don't have time, so we'll kill them as quickly as possible. Once I'm done, I will head to your side and help you with the Tier 6 beast. Only after that will we encircle the Tier 7 beast.
"Melody, Aileen. You two should stick to the original plan. We will handle these beasts by ourselves. You don't have to worry."
After listening to Clovis' calm voice, Melody took a deep breath to calm her heart down. It seemed she was a bit too panicky. She almost forgot that they were not like before.
It was true that Clovis, Erwin, and Jay weren't among the people who had evolved, and Christina had to focus on the Tier 7 beast, but their strength still increased drastically.
Clovis' Another World Mall had helped them adjust their equipment to match their own fighting style. In addition, they had eaten the food from the restaurant. The boost of their strength was much greater and had a longer duration.
For Clovis, he got 30% strength and 20% speed for 30 minutes. Jay had a 40% strength boost for the same duration. Erwin and Christina had their own respective boosts to focus on the Tier 7 beast.
With all this preparation, their strength wouldn't be similar to what the beasts had seen when they were running away.
Besides, now that there was nothing to stop him anymore, Clovis was free to utilize his Perfect State.
Clovis glanced at the clock and mentioned, "We only have 24 minutes, so make it count."
Once they heard Clovis, they all jumped to their respective targets.
"!!!" The Tier 7 beast hurriedly roared, ordering the surrounding beasts to coordinate. The beasts shifted their direction and headed straight to Christina.
Although Christina didn't use her Provoke on these beasts, the Tier 7 beast couldn't move to somewhere else because of Christina's unique ability. Hence, he had to eliminate Christina first before he could do anything.
Of course, the ones who had to stop most of them were none other than Jay and Clovis.
"Let's try this!" Jay stomped the ground and gathered all his strength in his blade. The beast souls, both new and old, were activated. He then waved his blade with all his might while roaring as if trying to draw 120% of his strength.
The ranged attack was different than before. It didn't have the technique to increase the range, but it had the power that obliterated everything in its path.
In just a single attack, Jay actually killed 18 beasts, chopping them into two.
It took a toll on his body if he used it continuously, but this was a good enough first strike, especially to grab the beasts' attention.
"!!!" The beasts looked confused. On the one hand, they wanted to shift their target from Christina to Jay, considering they would be massacred if they followed the order of their leader. On the other hand, they couldn't really disobey their leader or else the others would kill them and eat their bodies.
The Tier 7 beast felt fear for the first time in its life. Jay was terrifying, but Clovis was monstrous.
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
Multiple roars echoed from the opposite direction. If one glanced in this direction, they would see a complete massacre.
Clovis simply moved past them and beasts would suddenly get split into multiple pieces without having the chance to fight back.
Even though Clovis hadn't used his ranged attack yet, he killed 18 beasts at almost the same time as Jay.
And without using a beast soul or ranged attack, Clovis managed to conserve a lot of his energy to deal with the Tier 7 beast later.
The only thing he relied on this time was his Perfect State. This unique ability might have a terrible side effect, but they planned to take down the Tier 7 beast before the food boost ran out. Hence, it was fine for him to unleash everything he could, considering his time limit was 32 minutes.
Seeing its kin was cut down one by one, the Tier 7 beast was enraged. It shouted, changing his order.
The beasts that could fight the two sides would remain in their positions. Meanwhile, those who had slipped past had to go straight to Christina.
"Hmph. I hope you don't forget about me." Erwin harrumphed and spread his arms as threads were extended out of his hands, killing two beasts at a time.
Even though this kind of battle was not his specialty, especially without being able to set up his thread to create a terrain advantage, he could still stop them for a few minutes.
As a result, the Tier 7 beast had no choice but to confront Christina head-on. It barely contained itself from rushing to Christina due to the unique ability, but that was the extent of its power. It couldn't even move away because its body refused to leave Christina, which stopped it from hiding among the beasts.
So, the beast leaped forward. Since hiding was not an option, it could only overpower Christina.
*Bang!*
The swipe was so hard that the sound echoed in everyone's ears. Even Christina's feet slid back for two meters.
"Whoa? You okay?" Erwin asked. He still remembered helping Ragna take an attack in the past, so he could do it if Christina needed his help. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
But Christina simply harrumphed and put the other shield in front. "It's a bit painful to receive it, but it won't be enough to break my arms. It can't defeat me."
