Another World Mall-Chapter 703: Powerful Captain and Vice Captain
"It's a bit painful to receive it, but it won't be enough to break my arms. It can't defeat me," said Christina while raising both her shields in front.
She activated her unique ability to the fullest, forcing the Tier 7 beast to attack her. Christina blocked every single attack. Despite her body swaying left and right after each attack or getting pushed back, she managed to regain her balance right away, stopping any gaps that could form from each attack.
Erwin saw an opportunity. When the Tier 7 beast was about to attack, it would expose its side for a brief moment. If he took advantage of that gap, he should be able to hit the beast.
Hence, he first looped around Christina and maintained a perfect distance. The moment the Tier 7 beast attacked, he hurriedly launched his wires.
As if predicting Erwin's movement, the Tier 7 beast suddenly spun its body as though it had been waiting for Erwin to attack him the whole time.
'It's actually smart enough to leave that gap to lure me out?' Erwin raised his eyebrows.
The beast caught the wires and used its overwhelming strength to pull Erwin toward him.
Of course, as someone with Muscle Affinity, Erwin stomped the ground and stood firm. In the end, this was his specialty, unlike Christina, who had Bone Affinity.
But it was useless. The Tier 7 beast was that overwhelmingly strong. In addition, the moment he was occupied with this beast, other beasts would attack him from the sides or his back. There were seven beasts that charged toward both Erwin and Christina.
"!!!" Erwin noticed them and clicked his teeth.
'As expected, this Tier 7 beast is immune to my unique ability to a certain extent. Is this the gap between us? But it's still not enough to escape from me.' Christina used her Provoke again.
The beast was forced to let go of Erwin's wires and charged at her again.
She realized that the beast's instinct could overwhelm her unique ability for a moment, but it was not enough to fully escape from her unique ability.
With Erwin being released from the Tier 7 beast, he hurriedly looped around Christina and sent forth his wires, killing one beast after another.
Since he wasn't extremely useful in this situation, he should let Christina focus on the Tier 7 beast. The only way he could attack was when Clovis and Jay attacked this beast as well, which would create an opportunity for him to mix in his attacks.
Now that he understood the situation, Erwin completely focused on supporting Christina instead of going on the offensive.
Meanwhile, Clovis and Jay were overpowering the beasts around them. However, Jay had to face a Tier 6 beast that wanted to break through and helped the Tier 7 beast.
Jay looked like he had a hard time doing it, considering he was only Tier 4 and he didn't have a unique ability. But if it was all it took to take down Jay, Jay would no longer become a vice captain.
The reason Jay remained as Clovis' vice captain was because of his sense of responsibility. Even if his body was destroyed, Jay would do that job.
That was why Jay fully activated his beast soul, using the excess strength to stop the Tier 6 beast.
In the meantime, Clovis was on a rampage.
Beasts roared and surrounded him, but it didn't really matter. Clovis cut down one beast after another at a high speed. Despite having several Tier 4 beasts in the mix, they didn't manage to stall Clovis for over ten seconds.
As a result, Clovis killed all the beasts on his side in less than 3 minutes, even though there were about 60 beasts on this side alone.
Once he was done, he went directly to Jay's location instead of helping Christina. For him, Christina was their sturdy wall, able to take on the Tier 7 beast for as long as they needed.
However, without the blade to kill the Tier 7 beast, it was all useless.
*Roar!* The Tier 6 beast noticed Clovis' presence and told the rest of the beasts to stop him instead.
"You just made a wrong decision." Jay grinned. The moment he didn't have to pay attention to other beasts, Jay could unleash his full strength.
With the beast's paw pinning him on the ground, the beasts were supposed to kill him and Jay was forced to attack them in one way or another.
Now that there was no distraction, Jay could push his blade up with every bit of his strength.
"!!!" The Tier 6 beast was stunned, not expecting Jay to be able to overpower him. It wondered where this strength came from.
Unfortunately, that was the least of its worries.
Once Jay pushed back the paw, Jay took a deep step forward and slashed diagonally.
The beast panicked and put the other paw in front to stop that strike, but this one strike carried every bit of his strength. It had been boosted by the power of his beast soul.
Even the Tier 6 beast's paw was actually cut.
*Roar!* The beast screamed in pain as it watched its fingers dropping to the ground.
Furious, the beast rammed Jay with all its strength. That was when Clovis came, striking the beast from the side.
His momentum caused the beast to tilt to the side, ultimately stopping the charge.
"Took you long enough." Jay smirked.
"The traffic jam is quite horrible." Clovis smirked back.
What Clovis meant by traffic jam was definitely all the beast corpses behind them. If it was anyone else, they would have needed much more time to reach Jay, let alone strike the Tier 6 beast, but Clovis only took 30 seconds to cut down all those 20 beasts.
With Clovis and Jay joining hands, there was nothing a Tier 6 beast could do to save its life.
Jay started with a slash in both eyes, blinding the beast. Then, Clovis looped around while leaving one strike after another on its entire body before cutting its tail.
Then, Jay cut both ears, rendering the Tier 6 beast useless.
Once the Tier 6 beast couldn't do anything else other than struggle on the floor, Clovis struck its heart while Jay hit its head at the same time, killing the Tier 6 beast while still fending off attacks from the remaining beasts.
