Another World Mall

"Start!"

The moment they heard the signal, both captains made their respective moves.

Clovis headed straight at Erwin, while the latter stepped back while dispensing out small cylinders from his gloves.

The small cylinders were actually wires that had been designed to expand the moment they were out. The wires pierced the pillars at both ends, creating a web for Erwin.

This was how Erwin made his base safe in the group battle.

Erwin even tossed several of them to the sides, expanding his web.

Clovis’ expression turned serious. He wouldn’t get any support from Melody in this duel.

In other words, he had to be extra careful against these wires, especially those invisible wires. Even Clovis couldn’t approach Erwin carelessly.

That was why the first thing he did was cut down some wires.

There should be a limit to how many wires Erwin could release.

As if knowing Clovis’ plan, Erwin actually punched the pillars next to him and shattered it. He attached his wires to the small rocks and launched them like a slingshot.

"…" Clovis squinted his eyes. His slow vision allowed him to capture those rocks’ trajectories. He skillfully struck all the rocks that were supposed to hit him before moving forward.

Seeing that Clovis didn’t give up, Erwin decided to jump on top of the wire and use it to launch himself into the air with its springiness.

Clovis held the short sword with his teeth before taking out his pistol.

When Clovis was about to shoot him, Erwin suddenly flicked his fingers.

All of a sudden, a rock hit Clovis’ hand, knocking it to the side.

Bang!

Bang!

The two gunshots were fired, but they ended up missing because of that rock.

"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes in shock. ’Since when… No, did he hide several rocks during the first attack and attach them to the wires?’

Clovis’ prediction was spot-on.

Erwin had attached those few rocks to one wire. He pulled that wire and held it with another string so that a flick of his finger would release those rocks like an arrow.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t use a bigger piece to injure Clovis, or else the latter would notice. Still, his plan was already successful because that attack had allowed him to land on the other side.

Without hesitation, Erwin tossed more wires into the area, creating walls on both sides. In this way, Clovis would be trapped in the middle for the rest of the match.

"I couldn’t solely focus on you in the group battle, but this time is different. Are you ready to experience the true terror of my web?" Erwin grinned while standing on top of his wire.

"You talk too much in a battle." Clovis snorted. "No matter what trick you have in your sleeve, I’ll definitely defeat you."

Erwin smirked and waved both hands, unleashing the sharp wires toward Clovis.

Clovis managed to see through it as he immediately ducked, avoiding them.

The wires ended up hitting the pillar behind Clovis, slicing it apart.

However, Erwin had prepared for this. In fact, it looked like he was aiming for this pillar.

The moment the pillar was sliced into pieces, his fingers made a slight movement, causing the wires to actually attach themselves to those rocks.

"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes in shock as if knowing what Erwin was planning to do.

He hurriedly put his gun back in the holster and held his short sword. After all, Erwin actually waved both hands so that all those rocks would swing uncontrollably as if they were planning to hit Clovis from all directions.

To his surprise, this was another trick. When Clovis was about to strike one of them, Erwin suddenly controlled all those rocks to fly away, heading straight to his other wires in all directions.

The rocks just became an even more terrifying weapon because all those wires bounced all those rocks back toward Clovis. Even Clovis couldn’t see the rocks behind him, which meant he had to choose whether to ignore them or try stopping them.

Erwin smirked, thinking, ’I will be disappointed if you can’t handle this kind of attack.’

Sadly for Erwin, Clovis’s vision had slowed down so much that he could see the movement of those rocks while they were flying around him. He knew how many rocks would be coming from behind.

And that was zero.

Clovis waved his swords, striking all the rocks from three directions as though he abandoned his back.

"…" Erwin squinted his eyes, noticing that Clovis knew that there was nothing behind him. It showed enough about his eyes’ sharpness.

Clovis went toward Erwin while swinging his sword, trying to slash the wires he stood on.

Erwin bounced back into the air.

The moment Clovis put his short sword between his teeth, Erwin shot out his wires, not toward Clovis but toward the remaining part of the broken pillar.

"Huh?" Clovis didn’t think Erwin would be playing around, so there might be a use for that broken pillar.

Erwin surprised him once again when he actually pulled the pillar out of the ground, leaving behind a hole that was supposed to hold the pillar together.

"!!!" Clovis instantly understood what Erwin wanted. The pillar wasn’t a problem, but that hole would definitely restrict his movement. There was even a chance of him getting tripped because of that hole.

"T-This…!" The one who was shocked the most was Shion. She desperately looked at the rule book while saying, "I don’t think there is any rule about this, so this is legal. The referees are also not stopping the match."

Erwin, on the other hand, had placed it in front of the wire, pulling it like an arrow before shooting it at Clovis. "Take this."

"Both you and Tarkan do love destroying those pillars, huh?" Clovis took a deep breath. Instead of grabbing back his short sword, his left hand remained empty. He raised his left hand and actually caught the pillar without breaking it.

Erwin couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows. While the pillar wasn’t that big and half-destroyed, it still weighed more than fifty kilograms. Clovis actually stopped the momentum of such a thing with only his left hand.

"Are you thinking that this one is enough to defeat me?" Clovis threw the pillar to Erwin.
