*Clank!*
The bird somehow managed to twist its head and use that beak to barely block this attack. However, with such an uncomfortable position, Clovis managed to push it a bit further and slice its neck a bit.
It wasn’t fatal, but a lot of blood was gushing out of the wound.
The bird tried to hit Clovis with its head, but the latter skillfully took a step back while waving his blades a few times, both to the front and behind him.
*Roar!*
The beasts were angry because their sneak attacks failed.
Still, Clovis had the upper hand. With the beak holding the sword back, Clovis kicked the head from below.
"!!!" The bird shuddered as it lost its consciousness for just a split second. The blood seemed to spurt a bit more because of that kick.
The bird hurriedly retracted its head as the beasts began to swarm the area. It was apparent that the bird wanted to escape before the wounds became fatal.
Unfortunately for the bird, Clovis took this chance to strike the wings of the bird which had no choice but to receive the attack if it wanted to survive.
After that, several beasts pounced on him, forcing Clovis to shift his attention to them. The bird took this chance to move back, fleeing.
The bird underestimated Clovis too much.
With several of them coming, Clovis simply sped up and attacked these beasts a few times each within two seconds, freeing himself.
Before the bird left the beast horde, Clovis chased after it. Several more beasts stood in his way, but Clovis simply overwhelmed them with swift yet deadly strikes, catching up to the bird in no time.
To prevent it from escaping, Clovis tossed the short sword at the bird. The latter jumped to the side, avoiding it. However, it didn’t have much room to move because all these beasts were around.
Before it could recover, Clovis finally caught up. There were other beasts trying to stop him, but Clovis ignored most of them and just killed the two beasts that directly separated him and the bird.
*Reee!* The bird let out a cry. It was impossible to run away from Clovis. Hence, the bird chose to die fighting instead of running away.
The bird waved its beak multiple times, blocking several sword strikes. However, the injury to the neck caused it to slow down the bird’s movement, allowing a few of the sword strikes to reach the bird’s body.
After that, Clovis avoided the charge of the beast from the left and kicked this beast to the bird, causing the latter to fall down.
Before the bird could stand up, Clovis jumped over the beast and struck the bird’s neck once more.
*Ree—!* The bird let out its last shriek before it died.
The beasts in the area became enraged as they failed to protect the Tier 3 beast.
"Tsk." Clovis clicked his tongue, knowing that it would be hard to escape while being surrounded by forty beasts at once without a single wound.
All of a sudden, Melody’s voice echoed in the transmission, ordering, "Close your ears!"
"!!!" Clovis didn’t know what was going on, but he hurriedly did it, fully trusting his friend’s decision.
*Boom!*
It turned out to be a correct decision as the grenade hit the enemy’s rear, causing a ruckus in that area. In addition, several bullets had hit the beasts in that area, leaving only a few of them standing in Clovis’s way. Even then, they were distracted by the attacks from the side.
Clovis couldn’t help but smile.
Now that the bird had died, the restriction had been lifted. In other words, Kanaria and Melody could finally help him.
Clovis took this chance and cut his way out. The moment he was out, he noticed that Jay had almost killed the beasts in his direction.
Not wanting to lose, Clovis turned around and began to slash the beasts one by one. There were only Tier 1 and Tier 0 remaining, so it wasn’t a challenge for Clovis, who had gotten into a comfortable position.
It only took him several minutes to kill the rest of the beasts, which resulted in him completing their objective. He managed to kill the Tier 3 beasts without getting any injuries.
Although the Tier 3 beast was weakened because they weren’t too far from the city, it was an amazing feat, considering they had to deal with other beasts as well.
Jay had also completed the same task and dealt with the rest of the beasts together with Clovis.
Just looking at the number alone, Clovis couldn’t help but smile.
"How many beasts are there?" Clovis let out a breath of amusement.
"According to the number, there are about 250 beasts." Melody answered while looking at the corpses. Kanaria gave a thumbs up while approaching Clovis, "Good work. It’s good that you don’t suffer any injuries."

"Mhmm." Clovis nodded. "How’s Jay?"
"He’s good too."
"In that case, we should clean up soon," said Clovis while checking the radar.
"I will gather their essence!" Ragna hurriedly raised his hand. He should have gone to the front line and blocked the beasts’ attacks, which would give an opportunity for Clovis and Jay to attack.
But because he hadn’t done anything in this place, he needed to volunteer to gather the essence. It would be bad if Clovis and Jay chose to throw him away.
"You and Jay should get some rest. Even Ragna will have trouble gathering essence from all these monsters by himself, so I and Melody will help." Kanaria waved her hand.
"Alright." Clovis nodded with a smile. He also wanted to think about the next destination in their expedition.
He looked down and contemplated, ’Alright. Today and tomorrow, we will focus on killing a lot of beasts. Before dusk, we will have to leave for our second destination and reach that place before dark. We’ll see if we can find the Tier 4 Madtsoiiidae or not.’
Although Clovis didn’t say it, he really wanted to test his might against a Tier 4 beast.
