"!!!" The terrorist widened his eyes in shock. "Impossible."
Even the government’s agent couldn’t believe his eyes. To think that a Tier 1 human like Clovis could actually injure a Tier 3 human, it was simply too ridiculous.
The terrorist was much faster and stronger than him.
However, this was what Clovis had done. Clovis simply remembered the fight he had with the Tier 3 proconsul.
The Tier 3 human might be more troublesome, but the beast’s physical strength was better. So, Clovis grew accustomed to the terrorist’s movement on the last second and counterattack.
"A mere Tier 1… a mere Tier 1…" The terrorist roared while charging at Clovis.
His attacks were much stronger than before, but his movement was clouded with anger. To think that the terrorists would have this much pride, Clovis was simply speechless.
Nevertheless, this was an opportunity. Clovis took on the attacks carefully, this time, without any injuries on his side. After what felt like thirty seconds, Clovis sharply swung his blade diagonally, cutting the terrorist’s right shoulder.
"Oi!" The other Tier 3 terrorists shouted in disbelief, reminding him that they still had a mission.
Clovis noticed the change and immediately stepped forward, applying more pressure.
"You…" The terrorist’s eyes flashed as he swung his blade as hard as possible. It was so powerful that Clovis was pushed back for several meters.

Clovis remained calm even in this situation. As he expected, the enemy didn’t charge after him.
’It seems that they know that the mule is going to attack them. And they’ve prepared three Tier 3 humans to take him down. In other words, the mule they mentioned earlier should have that kind of strength. And it’s possible that they want to catch him alive.’
Clovis took a deep breath. No matter what it took, Clovis had to injure one of them so much that they couldn’t participate in the next battle.
More importantly, the battle would change so much the moment the two Tier 4 agents defeated their captain.
So, he had to buy enough time until they were done.
Still, the fact that the terrorists were aiming for Melody and Kanaria made him a bit anxious.
’Buying time is not enough. I have to defeat this person and head directly to Melody and Kanaria.’ Clovis’s expression turned grim.
Since the terrorist didn’t charge at him, it was Clovis’s turn to approach him. At the very least, he had to take his attention away from the hostages.
The terrorist struck Clovis multiple times, but the latter received all the attacks without a single injury.
It looked like Clovis had become accustomed to his attack and kept improving.
’This can’t go on. This Tier 1 ant is trying to humiliate me.’ The terrorist gritted his teeth. His thoughts became wild as the possibility of him being defeated by a Tier 1 boy flashed through his mind.
Even if they had a lot of time, he actually doubted that he could defeat Clovis in a short period of time.
In that case, he needed an opening.
For the first time in the entire battle, the terrorist struck Clovis and actively pushed him back.
After that, he jumped to the side, specifically at the injured agent.
"!!!" Clovis realized that the terrorist wanted to kill this agent. While he didn’t have any obligation to protect the agent, it was clear that the Clovis could lower their morale by killing an agent. At the very least, it might create an opening for his two comrades.
Hence, he couldn’t allow it to happen.
Clovis chased after him while biting his lips. He became desperate for the first time, but the terrorist abruptly stopped his movement so that he could turn around and strike Clovis with everything he had.
The attack turned out to be a fake to lure him and Clovis had fallen for it.
"Kh." Clovis blocked it with everything he had, but the momentum pushed back his blade, allowing the terrorist’s sword to reach the spot between his shoulder and neck. If Clovis wasn’t stronger than normal Tier 1, the blade might have reached his neck.
Before the wound got deeper, Clovis threw himself to the side to avoid getting cut.
Instead of focusing on him, the terrorist actually aimed for the injured agent once again.
"NO!" Clovis never thought he would be this useless.
When the terrorist reached the injured agent, he swung his blade, planning to split him in half. This brutal death would definitely affect his teammates.
All of a sudden, a shadow appeared between them.
It was Vina. She actually stepped in and put the shield between the terrorist and the agent.
If they took another look at the battlefield, the Tier 0 terrorists had been taken down. It was clear that Vina was doing all that work silently.
And at the last moment, she came out to protect the powerful agent.
However, there was a huge gap between Tier 0 and Tier 3.
The moment she received the attack, her arm almost got dislocated as the terrorist blew her away to the side. If not for the sturdy shield she got from the store, the entire shield might either be bent or cut.
She ended up crashing into the wall and coughing up some blood.
Looking at her unwilling expression, Clovis bit his lips.
He didn’t realize that his speed had increased.
The terrorist waved his blade to finally cut the agent, but the next thing he realized, his blade actually flew to the ground and stabbed the agent’s thigh. Still, it was much better than getting split into two.
"You…" The terrorist turned around, trying to grab Clovis. He realized that he had lost his right arm, so at least he had to stop Clovis from swinging his sword.
Unfortunately for him, Clovis showed unprecedented speed and swung his blade once more.
The slash sent the terrorist’s head flying as Clovis couldn’t help but shout, "Close your damn eyes!"
Obviously, those words were directed at the hostages. They were screaming and crying, but more importantly, they had to cover the children’s eyes.
Still, it didn’t change the fact that Clovis had just killed a Tier 3 human.
