Another World Mall-Chapter 708: Killing the Tier 7 Beast
"Ah… shit."
Clovis clicked his tongue as the beast stomped him.
Clovis hurriedly put his sword in front, but the power of the Tier 7 beast was not something he could stop. As a result, the beast pushed him down and smashed him on the ground.
"Gah!" Clovis spat out a mouthful of blood.
If it were a direct stomp, his ribs would have been crushed. Or even worse, that stomp would have made a hole in his chest.
Fortunately, the swords his grandfather left behind were not just a cheap sword. It was made of a Tier 9 material, known for its durability.
The sword managed to withstand the impact force. Once he was done, he put his lower arms straight while using the ground to support them.
In addition to his original strength, he managed to block this attack, albeit with a serious internal injury.
"GO!" Clovis shouted with a hoarse voice.
"!!!" All three of them hurriedly approached the beast.
Christina activated her Provoke from the left side of the beast, making herself as visible as possible so that the beast couldn't ignore her.
Meanwhile, Jay and Erwin had looped around and approached the beast from the right side. Their aim was clear.
The beast ignored Clovis on the ground and charged straight at Christina, ramming its entire body weight.
"Kh…" Christina gritted her teeth. This was the strongest charge she had to endure today. She almost got knocked back upon impact, but with the foundation of the Elseingarde family, she managed to hold the beast back.
'This doesn't look good…' Christina was sweating like crazy, feeling her bone had cracked. At this rate, she wouldn't be able to use her right hand anymore.
Still, Jay and Erwin wouldn't let such a precious chance go to waste.
Erwin wrapped the sword's handle with his wires.
"!!!" The beast noticed the sudden pressure coming from the sword stuck in his eye. It was clear what Jay was planning to do, so it was about to go on a rampage.
But at the last moment, Clovis rolled his body even in that state and aimed the gun at the left eye.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
Several bullets hit the head, forcing the beast to close its left eye to avoid losing the remaining eye. In addition, Christina activated her Provoke again. Instead of provoking the beast, which could be ignored by the beast for one or two seconds.
Christina provoked the beast's feet to move slightly and created a different center of gravity. This way, even if the beast could ignore her unique ability, it couldn't move as intended.
"!!!" The beast noticed that his feet were sliding on the ground. In that instant, there was only one thing it could do left. Since moving its body had become impossible, the tail hurriedly swept right. This was the only direction he couldn't see Jay, so Jay should be there.
To the beast's surprise, there was no impact, as though Jay wasn't there.
What actually happened was Jay jumping into the air. In fact, he had jumped even before the tail came for him, as if he had predicted it would happen.
Jay then aimed for the sword handle and struck it with the combination of his strength, his beast soul, and his ranged attack.
Bang!
The loud clash with the blade's handle was crisp in everyone's ears. Erwin pulled the handle from behind, becoming an additional power to move the sword.
"Raaa!" The beast roared, but it was useless.
With their combined effort, the sword swung forward, cutting the inside of its eyes. It came out after slicing the other eye.
The beast screamed this time. It was shaking its body as though it was still alive even after its head got sliced.
However, it was just the last struggle of the Tier 7 beast. The blood spurted out of its eyes as the beast fell to the ground, lifeless.
*Thud!*
The loud falling sound echoed in their ears like a bell in their ears.
All of them looked at the fallen beast in disbelief, asking themselves, 'Did they just kill a Tier 7 beast?'
They kept glancing at each other as if asking for confirmation. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"It's our victory." Clovis grinned while raising his fist.
"Oohhh!" Erwin and Christina cheered.
"Yes!" Even Jay, who usually stayed quiet and avoided all kinds of celebration, couldn't help but shout.
They had really outdone themselves this time. They weren't supposed to be strong enough to take on a Tier 7 beast.
However, with two unique abilities, they managed to do it. Of course, their injuries were not a small matter either. Clovis had a severe internal injury and Christina's right arm cracked.
Still, they won… against a Tier 7 beast.
Unfortunately, even though they had won the battle, they had yet to win the war.
Clovis hurriedly said, "Jay, Erwin. Can you keep going?!"
Jay and Erwin raised their eyebrows, almost forgetting that they had to rescue the others. They hurriedly nodded since they had a light injury compared to these two.
"I will be fine with Christina here. Coordinate with Melody and take down the rest of the beasts. We'll free this base from any beasts in this town today."
"Understood." Jay and Erwin nodded and hurriedly rushed to the north side of the beast after seeing the radar.
"Ha…" Clovis let out a long sigh.
"You're okay?" Christina asked.
"Just opening my mouth hurts." Clovis smiled wryly.
"Jeez…" Christina dropped one of her shields, put his arm around her shoulder, and pulled him up.
"Thanks."
"…" Christina let out a sigh as she dragged Clovis and her body inside one of the buildings to get some protection.
Once she put Clovis down next to a pillar, she dropped to her butt while panting heavily. "To think we really killed a Tier 7 beast…"
"Yeah. Thanks to you, we're able to take it down. You're the key to defeating this Tier 7 beast." Clovis smiled.
"…" Christina looked at Clovis mysteriously before scratching the back of her head. "You know… I have been avoiding this topic for the last few days. Do you know that both of our grandparents engaged us even before we were born?"
"…" Clovis fell silent. He didn't know about it, but he had a feeling that his grandfather was pulling some strings in their meeting, since it felt so artificial. So, he expected it to a certain extent.
Christina sighed and just leaned next to Clovis while saying, "I'm just thinking it might not be bad at all. Since I have to inherit the Elseingarde family in the future, I'm not fit to be the main wife. I'm just thinking… if you are not against it, how about we do it?"
