*Bam!*
*Shaaa!* The snake almost got crushed. The scale on its head cracked, and blood even came out. Even a Tier 4 beast would have a hard time blocking that kind of weight.
The paraceratherium was startled by the sudden feeling of stepping on something. The snake was big, so it wasn’t the same as stomping a small beast or even Clovis. T
The paraceratherium wanted to move, but it was unable to do anything due to the blindness.
On the other hand, the Tier 4 snake was angry because the paraceratherium wasn’t supposed to hit him. It was the norm for a lower tier beast to obey a higher tier one.
The snake ended up attacking the paraceratherium while trying to shove him away. But because of its weight and size, it was hard to actually move this colossal beast. The snake had to wrap its body around the paraceratherium and pull him to the side.
*Bam!*
The paraceratherium panicked because it fell down and struggled while trying to recover its eyesight. The paraceratherium thought he had been betrayed and shook its entire body violently, crushing the snake underneath it.
*Shaa!* The snake was trying to get away, its tail was wagging around to adjust its body position, resulting in it sweeping a lot of beasts.
The clash between the snake and the paraceratherium caused a huge opening for Clovis. The Tier 3 dragonfly was also in the middle of recovering its eyesight.
Now that these beasts had been taken care of, Clovis turned around and started moving to the west.
There was a reason why Clovis asked Melody to throw a grenade at all sides and determined that the west was where they should escape.
The beasts that wanted to chase after Jay and the others had to turn around. But it all changed because of the ruckus. They were trying to see what was going on, wondering if they should help.
However, the first thing they found was not a beast but a human.
Clovis was running behind them. The beasts tried to turn around, but they were a tad too late as Clovis began swinging his swords, cutting one beast after another and making his way toward Jay and the others.
Yes, the reason he chose this direction was because he noticed that the reaction time from the beasts in the west was slower than in the other directions.
In other words, he could swiftly cut them down before they could do anything.
"!!!" The bear was stunned. Jay was approaching his position, but before the fight happened, Clovis had already escaped from the three high tier beasts. Two of them even fought each other for some reasons.
*Roar!* The bear tried to warn the distracted beasts to switch their positions. The beasts that Jay had passed turned around and chose to fight Clovis instead. In other words, there were only a few beasts between him and the bear.
Jay didn’t know what was going on, but he believed Clovis must have done something. It would be best for him to take advantage of this situation to pick up the pace.
"MOVE!" Jay shouted and sent a few more beasts flying.
Jay knew that facing this beast head-on would be dangerous. However, there was no other way out of his current position. If he slowed down just a bit, these beasts would surround and stop them.
Clovis gritted his teeth. The snake and the paraceratherium were still wrestling with each other, but the Tier 3 dragonfly had recovered its eyesight and started flying toward them.

The dragonfly flew straight at Clovis, using the few beasts that surrounded him to make a distraction.
"Tsk." While clicking his tongue, Clovis turned around. His short sword blocked the attack from one side while the long sword tried to strike the dragonfly.
But to his surprise, when the dragonfly was only two meters away from him, it suddenly lifted up its body into the air once more, avoiding Clovis’s sword.
"!!!" Clovis was taken aback by this action, not because of the dragonfly’s ability but because of its intelligence. The dragonfly was actually faking its attack on Clovis and chose to attack Jay and the others.
Because Clovis turned around to strike the dragonfly earlier, his momentum stopped for once, meaning he couldn’t do anything to catch up.
On the other hand, his teammates would suffer a surprise attack.
"Jay. Behind!" Clovis had no other choice but to shout, warning them of the incoming dragonfly.
"!!!" Jay turned his head around, seeing the dragonfly. Unlike Clovis, Jay shifted his center of gravity and used that as a bouncing force. Yes, he jumped into the air, clashing with a flying beast in their own territory.
However, this was the only way to reach the dragonfly before the latter hit Kanaria and the others. He jumped over Kanaria and Melody and waved his sword.
The dragonfly swung its tail down, taking advantage of the flying ability and the altitude’s advantage to slam Jay to the ground.
Fortunately, Jay was able to push the dragonfly up so that it couldn’t attack his teammates soon.
Still, he shouldn’t feel relieved yet. Because of that distraction, the bear charged forward, approaching the others.
Jay rushed back to his position, but he was one step too late.
’Tsk. I’m not going to make it.’ Jay gritted his teeth. He barely reached the front, but he didn’t have enough time to stabilize his posture.
Without that surge of strength, Jay couldn’t stop the bear’s swipe and was launched away.
"!!!" Kanaria widened her eyes as Jay actually crashed into her. "Gah!"
The Tier 3 dragonfly flew back, so Melody tossed the grenade into the air, trying to distract the dragonfly.
But it also meant that the bear could hit her.
Ragna moved in front of Melody out of reflex, but he was gritting his teeth, wondering if he could actually stop this attack. In the worst case scenario, the bear would blow him away and Melody.
Seeing that his teammate was in trouble, Clovis just threw away all the future risks and chose the option where his teammate wouldn’t die.
Clovis took out the ring and necklace he bought from Another World Mall.
"Ragna, catch!"
"!!!" Ragna glanced at the two items. Even though he didn’t understand why Clovis threw these items, he dropped his spear and caught the two items.
At the same time, the bear’s paw hit his shield with full force.
*Bam!*
