A moment ago.
"Huh? This doesn’t make any sense. They can actually kill the two Tier 3 beasts."
"When they killed their first Tier 3 beast, I thought it was just pure luck. During the mall’s incident, while he was able to kill them, he purely relied on his opponents lowering their guards."
"But this time, it was different. They killed two Tier 3 beasts alongside so many low level beasts. Even that boy, Jay, was it? He could even stop two Tier 3 beasts for a few minutes."
"Could you do it when you were a Tier 1 human?"
"I could only kill Tier 2 beasts, and people thought I was awesome." He couldn’t help but look at his partner. "If we let him grow further, wouldn’t he become a threat to us? What if he became a Tier 3 human? We might not be able to do anything to him anymore."
"No. As long as he doesn’t reach Tier 4, he can’t fight us. You should know that the higher the tier, the bigger the gap between each tier. Even if he is able to fight enemies two tiers above him, he won’t be able to do it when he reaches Tier 3."
"Still, aren’t you worried? If he ends up surviving, he will definitely become a threat to us."
"I know. It seems that we have to unleash everything we have prepared if we want to kill him. The rest of the people will end up getting buried alongside them."
"Yeah."
Both of them suddenly disappeared.
…
On the other side, Eliot was fighting against the Tier 3 beast.
"This Tier 3 beast is annoying." Eliot shouted while waving his mace, launching the Tier 3 beast into the sky. As expected of a Tier 3 human, he managed to injure the beast with only one superficial wound.
While he was fighting this beast, he couldn’t help but think, ’They haven’t sent any reinforcement requests yet. Are the beasts so slow in killing them?’

It didn’t seem that the beasts had broken through yet, so it was clear that they were still fighting against them.
However, he wished for the Tier 3 beasts to crush them as quickly as possible. The longer it took, the more he had to kill the beasts before him and reinforce them.
Eliot gritted his teeth, waiting for the announcement. Ivan and the others had been standing by in their positions so that they could take over and kill those beasts. However, he had told them not to engage the enemies if the two Tier 3 beasts were sticking to each other.
Just like Eliot, Ivan was waiting for the same announcement. They had been waiting for their turn to come, making them a bit impatient.
Little did they know, Clovis and the others were recuperating from their wounds and recovering as much stamina as they could.
"Clovis. I’m done with their essence." Kanaria put the tube inside the bag while returning to Clovis’s side.
"Thank you." Clovis smiled. "Is there any beast soul?"
"Unfortunately, no." Kanaria shook her head.
"I see." Clovis looked a bit disappointed, but it didn’t really matter since they had done a great job here.
Kanaria leaned closer and whispered, "How about the beasts inside the lab?"
She thought it was a bit of a waste to leave the Tier 2 mutated beast, but Clovis shook his head. It was better not to go there to raise some suspicion.
Although it was a bit disappointing, Kanaria agreed with Clovis.
"I’m done here too. These are the tubes." The captain of the Silver Star team handed him a small box filled with a lot of tubes. These tubes contained the essence of all the beasts they killed here.
"Are you sure about this? Please take one or two tubes at the very least. Treat it as our thanks for taking care of Jay and helping us here." Clovis humbly offered the essence.
"How can it be compared to your sacrifice in stopping these two Tier 3 beasts? In fact, I’m the one who should offer you the essence."
"Alright. Alright. Let’s just treat this as even." Clovis smiled wryly while taking the box.
"Yep." The captain gave a thumbs up, satisfied with Clovis’s response.
However, their peaceful time had to be disrupted by a series of roars coming from all around them.
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
"We are picking a large number of beasts moving outside the beasts. They are probably planning to enter the city from the north and south gates. There are some beasts coming from the west. We don’t have the manpower to check whether the Tier 4 beasts in the woods have moved or not, but judging from the roars, there are about 600 beasts coming from those three directions to surround us."
The emergency message was broadcast on all radios, alerting even the commander who was fighting the Tier 4 beast.
Eliot raised his eyebrows. "What? Are you serious?"
"This doesn’t look good."
"How? We haven’t provoked them."
The people were complaining on the radio, knowing how dangerous the situation had become. This wasn’t what they agreed to before.
This raid was focused on the beasts inside, so the fact that the beasts outside the city suddenly entered the picture meant the end of the raid. They didn’t have the manpower to handle all those beasts.
The number alone indicated the presence of Tier 3 or even Tier 4 beasts leading them. So, there was only one thing to do, which was to retreat.
However, all the people in the vanguard teams knew that the area between them and the other two teams still had two Tier 3 beasts. If they wanted to escape, they would have to fight them first.
In other words, there would be a lot of casualties just to escape. And there was no guarantee that the rest could actually outrun the beasts due to their speed.
Even the commander didn’t say anything yet because of this fact.
Yet, amidst the danger, Clovis’s voice echoed on the radio, giving people hope.
"This is Clovis from Libation Fiesta. We have killed the two Tier 3 beasts. Our group and the Silver Star team are abandoning our post and heading back to get the vehicles. Please advise our rendezvous point."
