"Hey. This is too much!"
A few people were taking down multiple beasts at once, but more and more beasts kept coming, gradually pushing them back.
"I will take care of this side." One of them roared while unleashing all the bullets in his rifle. His movement was fast, but his bullets were normal, not Tier 1 bullets like Kanaria’s bullets.
So, the Tier 1 beasts managed to withstand those bullets and came toward him.
One of the Tier 1 beasts pounced on him before it suddenly got sniped from a different direction.
"Nice, Yas." He shouted, reloaded, and started firing again.
Just like Clovis’s group, the Blossom had a sniper in their team.
"Yep. Just keep going. We have to endure it for a little bit more," the guy replied while searching for a new target.
However, he was startled when he heard footsteps followed by a shout. "Is there someone here? I am here to help."
"I am Yasin from the Blossom." He turned around, finding Kanaria climbing to his floor.
"I am Kanaria from Libation Fiesta. I am here to help." Kanaria rushed toward him while taking a look at the situation.
"Thank you. But aren’t you supposed to handle the beasts from the right?" Yasin asked.
"Don’t worry, everything is taken care of. My captain asked me to help this side instead." Kanaria smiled.
"But wasn’t the gunshot from your side earlier?"
"No." Kanaria shook her head. "Do you want to check my guns if you can’t believe me?"
"That’s fine. It’s better if we focus on eliminating all these beasts first." Yasin pointed at the beasts on the ground.
"Sure." Kanaria smiled. "I will help that block."
"I will take care of the other block." Yasin agreed without hesitation.
As soon as they got into the new position, they began to rain down the bullets, taking down one beast after another.
The effect was so great that the people on the ground could feel it.
"Huh?" One of them couldn’t help but raise his head, noticing that instead of fighting the next beast right away, there was some gap between him and the next beast as the one closest to him had died. "It seems that the sniper guy is focusing on us."

Another person slashed the beast in front of him while saying, "I heard the sniper from another group came here."
"For real?" The guy smiled. "If that’s the case, we can defeat these guys."
"We are here to help!" A shout came from behind, causing the people to glance at them. They instantly recognized Ivan with a single glance, but it was surprising that four of them would come to this place.
They wanted to say something but ended up exchanging looks between themselves.
"Alright. Split your group into two. The first one will help us here while the second group helps the people on the next block!"
Ivan followed the order. With the reinforcement, they began to push back the beasts. It didn’t take too long for them to eliminate half of these beasts.
As the blood smell permeated the air, the beasts gradually realized that they were losing their ground. If this continued, they would be wiped out.
The moment they considered the possibility of retreating, the people started launching an all-out attack, eliminating as many beasts as possible.
Unlike Clovis and Jay, these people didn’t seem to be able to defeat a Tier 2 easily. Even their Tier 2 explorer needed a few minutes to take down a single Tier 2 beast.
Kanaria felt slightly disappointed by their strength. However, she understood that Clovis and Jay had their extraordinary prowess because of the Star Method as well as better equipment.
In the end, they only managed to kill about 150 beasts, while the Tier 2 beasts signaled a retreat for the remaining beasts.
The center area had also repelled the beasts coming their way, considering they had Tier 3 explorers among them.
Eliot rampaged on the battlefield, killing more than fifty beasts by himself.
When he noticed that the beasts were retreating, Eliot said through the radio, "The beasts are retreating here. What’s the status of each side?"
"The right side is clear. All beasts have died." Clovis’s voice echoed from the radio.
Eliot couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows, since he didn’t like Clovis. However, he thought that Clovis was able to achieve it because Ivan’s group helped them.
So, he let him go without a single word this time.
"The beasts on the left side are also retreating. We are planning to regroup with the other teams."
"We’ll regroup in the center, but keep your vigilance. The essence and materials can wait for later."
"Got it."
Now that the situation had been under their control, they could finally move back. However, Eliot was definitely not ready for what was to come.
Eliot walked together with the two teams positioned in the middle. He couldn’t help but think, ’Luckily, we manage to repel those beasts… or else the others will look down on me. The right side, which is my concern, seems to have been taken care of.
’I guess that Ivan guy is as good as the rumors. This should be enough to gain some reputation. I just have to find a way to make people think badly about the Libation Fiesta team.’
Eliot thought his idea was brilliant. Unfortunately for him, he miscalculated two things.
When he was about to reach the meeting point, he couldn’t help but drop his jaw in disbelief. Clovis was actually walking toward the meeting point with only four people. Instead of Kanaria, he had Vina.
On the opposite side, he saw Ivan and the rest of his group walking together with the original two groups stationed on their left.
And the captain of the Blossom team seemed to be furious. The captain of the other team was actually berating Ivan for some reason.
Just from their positions alone, Eliot could imagine what had just happened. That realization made his heart sink.
*Thud-!*
