Meanwhile, Kanaria and Ragna were still trying to control the situation, especially since the people chose not to evacuate. Kanaria was already cursing them because they were so foolish that they would risk their lives just for clout.
Kanaria’s expression turned serious when she noticed more and more people gathered in this place. While it didn’t really matter if more civilians came here, the problem was that she could sense some people with high tiers among them.
’Where is the police?’ Kanaria couldn’t help but wonder. They should move fast, especially in this emergency.
Meanwhile, Ragna had positioned himself a bit to the front so that he could shield Kanaria at any moment.
Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, they could finally hear the police’s siren.
Kanaria could finally get away from here. While she didn’t mind being attacked here, it would be troublesome if the attackers tried to harm the citizens.
Besides, fighting them in a secluded place allowed them to be separated from normal civilians.
"Move! Move!" The two officers made their way through the crowd, finding Kanaria, Ragna, and five people on the ground. They both pointed their guns at Kanaria and Ragna. "Put down your weapons!"
"!!!" Ragna and Kanaria couldn’t help but furrow their eyebrows. If this was a normal situation, they wouldn’t hesitate to put down their weapons. But some of their enemies were still hiding among them. Once they lowered their weapons, these people wouldn’t hesitate to attack them.
Kanaria said, "I apologize for not being able to comply. I am Kanaria Renvolt, affiliated with the Libation Fiesta. I’m not planning to put anyone in harm."
"I’m sorry, but we also have procedures to follow." The officers continued pointing their guns, not caring about Kanaria’s identities.
Kanaria said, "I’m afraid that there are still more people who are trying to harm us here, so we can’t drop our weapons."
"Put your weapons down, or we will be forced to shoot!" The officers didn’t care about it and still insisted that Kanaria and Ragna put their weapons down.
Ragna glanced at Kanaria, who was frustrated by their stubbornness. While it was true that they had their own rules, they still needed to be flexible.
That was why Kanaria didn’t seem to have any choice but to go through this in a hard way.
Of course, they weren’t planning to attack the police officers.
Kanaria first observed the buildings around them, ensuring that there was no sniper.
"Put your weapons down!" The officers shouted again, pressuring them. The people started to panic. Some thought Kanaria’s words made some sense, some just wanted Kanaria to put down her weapon and talk about it afterward.
Unfortunately, Kanaria chose not to comply. Since the police they called didn’t lessen their burdens, they just chose to ignore them entirely.
"Left!" Kanaria shouted while running to the left.
In that instant, Ragna positioned himself between the cops and Kanaria. As expected, with such a sudden movement, the cops opened fire, trying to shoot them down.
Bang!
Bang!
Ragna skillfully put the shield in front, covering both himself and Kanaria. The bullets couldn’t penetrate Ragna’s new Tier 5 shield.
"Aaaahhh!"
"Kyaaa!"
"They’re shooting!"
"Run!"
The people dispersed in panic, making the already messy situation even more chaotic. Still, it didn’t really matter, as Kanaria and Ragna only had one thing to do.
They went through the gap between the crowds. There was no way the police could shoot them when they were around civilians.
"Kh." The two officers gritted their teeth. They chased after Ragna and Kanaria, but they simply couldn’t pull the triggers.
However, Kanaria wasn’t in a good situation either.
Once they were about to pass through the scattered crowd, several people suddenly jumped toward her at quick speed.
"!!!" Ragna saw three people coming from the right side. He hurriedly put his shield in front while thrusting his spear, restraining the first person.
Still, the second and third looped around them. The second person attacked him from the side, forcing Ragna to put his shield in its way to block it.
After all, these three people were all Tier 3 humans.
The moment Ragna blocked the attack with his shield, the third person came from the opposite direction and attacked him.
"Tsk!" Ragna gritted his teeth. He ended up taking the attack with his arm, utilizing the defensive jacket to block it.
Unfortunately for him, the jacket wasn’t enough to stop the knife. While it had changed its trajectory a bit, the knife still slashed through and cut his arm quite deep.
Ragna endured the pain and slammed his body against this third person, pushing him back by several meters.
Kanaria pointed her pistol at the third person, utilizing the opportunity that Ragna created to kill at least one of them.
However, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind as though that person were running. Her back was supposed to face a store.
When she thought about it, there was a possibility that the enemy hid inside.
That was why Kanaria turned around instead of shooting the third person. As she expected, there was a person shattering the window into pieces with his knee.
After that, he kicked Kanaria’s pistol up.
"Tsk." Kanaria’s grip obviously couldn’t be compared to Clovis or Jay. Now that she lost her weapon, the guy kicked her from the side. Kanaria could only try to catch it with her hands.
Unfortunately, the guy seemed to have Muscle Affinity, she was knocked down to the ground.
"Kanaria!" Ragna tried to help her, but the three attacked him again. Ragna thrust his spear at the fourth person, keeping him away from Kanaria. He then tilted his shield horizontally so that he could block two out of three people.
However, it exposed his back, which one of them took advantage of.
"Gah!"
The guy hit Ragna’s back. He managed to slightly throw his body to avoid it, but the knife still created a long wound, which caused serious bleeding.
There were still a few more people coming behind them. They all headed to Kanaria as if they were trying to capture her.
Kanaria was trying to find a way to escape from this place, but that might not be necessary anymore as a person fell right on top of one of the Tier 3 attackers, his feet landing on the guy’s head and knocking him down.

"You…" Kanaria sucked a cold breath as if she recognized the reinforcement.
