"Incoming." Ragna shouted, signaling Jay to get ready. Some of the beasts had no choice but to change their direction to stop Clovis.
Although it wasn’t all of them leaving, Ragna still positioned himself to the right, avoiding being surrounded by the beasts from the left.
When the spiders were about to arrive, Ragna sped up. The change of pace immediately caught the spider’s attention, causing them to target him.
The Tier 4 spider leaned its body forward, striking Ragna with swift but deadly bites. However, the latter managed to put his shield in front, which blocked the spider’s attack.
Still, the other spiders took advantage of this chance to slip past Ragna’s defense.
Ragna simply stepped to the left and slammed his spear on the spiders before they could reach him. Meanwhile, Jay moved to the right and cut down the spiders on this side before approaching the Tier 4 spider in the same manner as these smaller spiders.
The Tier 4 spider itself was looking majestic. With a three-meter-tall body, it was trying to overwhelm Ragna and pin him to the ground.
The Tier 4 spider was trying to avoid Jay, but all of a sudden, they heard a screeching sound from the right as multiple spiders were sent flying with their bodies chopped into pieces.
There wouldn’t be any more spiders coming from the right, which allowed Jay to attack the spider’s left legs.
When the spider was about to retreat, as if not planning to lose to Clovis or anyone else in the Libation Fiesta, Erwin launched himself into the air.
The spider managed to get away for a meter before multiple strings suddenly wrapped his body from above. The spider’s body was lifted up a centimeter. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to throw the spider off balance.
Jay hurriedly struck the spider’s legs with all his strength. He even used his beast soul and launched the momentum to increase his power.
His new Tier 5 sword cut through all four legs, causing the spider to fall to the side.
"!!!" The spider didn’t expect that a single exchange would actually injure it this much. But that wasn’t all.

Kanaria suddenly shouted, "Get out of the way, boys!"
Jay and Ragna were confused while Erwin was observing everything from above as he was still in the air. They hurriedly got away, getting enough distance from the spider. This way, Kanaria could hit the Tier 4 spider without worrying about hitting them.
Bam!
A loud gunshot resounded across the woods.
The people looked shocked, not because of the shot, but because of the damage that shot caused.
The left part of the spider’s head was blasted off its body. The bullet didn’t stop only at the head but also hit a portion of its body, causing blood to be splattered everywhere.
"!!!" Ragna widened his eyes in shock. "What the hell with that firepower? Are you on steroids?"
It wasn’t weird for Ragna to ask that question. Normally, Kanaria’s bullet didn’t have such destructive power. A Tier 3 would simply get some flesh splattered, but even when they were shot in the face, they wouldn’t die.
Yet this time, a single bullet could actually blast a Tier 4 spider’s head. Unfortunately, Kanaria couldn’t be one hundred percent accurate and blasted the entire head. It was a small target even if the spider was big. That was one of the reasons why snipers didn’t usually aim for the head.
But this shot was different.
"Hehehe. Do you like it? This is my new baby. I couldn’t bring it normally since it’s too heavy for me to carry around, but it changes when it comes to the minibus." Kanaria smirked.
While Kanaria was explaining, the battle still had to continue. The remaining spiders went berserk. In addition, the Tier 4 spider had yet to die.
Its collapsing body was still pointing its spineret at Jay. If it died, it would still drag one enemy down together.
However, Ragna suddenly appeared in front of Jay. The spider, gradually dying, had no choice but to shoot out the last bit of energy it had.
The webs hit Ragna’s shield. But because of this, Ragna couldn’t avoid the attacks from the normal spiders coming from his left.
Erwin was about to send forth his own threads to help him, but Jay had actually come to the left and killed several spiders. There was a Tier 2 spider that was trying to buy some time for Jay and let the others attack Ragna.
Sadly, Erwin caught three spiders with his wires and crushed them. In addition, Clovis had finally reached them. He first cut the webs that stuck on the shield, freeing Ragna. They both then rushed to the left, killing the remaining spiders while leaving the Tier 4 spider behind.
Of course, Kanaria took this opportunity to shoot the Tier 4 spider one more time, finally killing it.
Aileen opened her mouth in shock. "This… I know Clovis is a monster like me, but his stamina is so high. He is able to do all that in his exhausted state. Even Erwin can hardly keep up.
"However, Kanaria’s firepower is extraordinary. I guess guns, especially sniper rifles, are still quite good even in the middle tier. She might still be able to pierce through the skin of a Tier 5 beast with higher tier bullets. But that advantage will gradually disappear as they reach higher tiers.
"It doesn’t matter. Right now, I’ve confirmed that they’re able to take care of all the beasts on this mountain." Aileen shook her head and started heading toward the next checkpoint.
Little did she know, the most important role in this battle was actually Melody. The reason they could do such a complex maneuver without talking to each other was because Melody guided them and even showed them an arrow as a guide.
Yet, amidst their celebration, Clovis couldn’t help but say, "I know you’re happy, but Kanaria, that gun is too loud."
Clovis raised his head, hearing a lot of screeching sounds coming down the mountain. "A lot of beasts are coming now."
