"Incoming!" Clovis shouted while raising both blades.
Kanaria looked at the enemy closely while saying, "There are two Tier 4 spiders and one Tier 4 beast. One of the spiders is coming to Erwin’s side while the rest are coming to you, Clovis. There are also a lot of Tier 3 coming."
"Roger." Clovis nodded. Instead of defending the position, Clovis actually approached them aggressively this time. Ragna and Jay followed right behind him.
Seeing their movements, Kanaria immediately shifted her aim to the beasts. She started raining them with bullets, killing one beast after another.
Clovis swung his sword, hitting the Tier 1 beast at the front. He easily slashed it into two, but there was a Tier 2 beast right behind it.
Clovis used his fastest speed to cut the beast multiple times, but to his surprise, the beast actually sped up and rammed its entire body onto Clovis. The latter was able to avoid it and left behind several wounds, but to his surprise, the Tier 2 beast didn’t die.
"Huh?" Clovis frowned. "These beasts are weird. The power is also quite strong…"
The beast managed to block a few strikes, allowing Clovis to understand the gap between them.
It was surprisingly smaller than all the Tier 2 beasts he had fought so far.
Clovis wasn’t the only one who had the problem. Jay also only managed to slash two beasts at the same time and got blocked by the third beast when he was supposed to be able to slash everything this whole time.
"This is…" Jay frowned. "Even with the beast soul, I actually fail to kill them all?"
Ragna was pushed back several meters by a charge from a beast. He managed to stab its head right after that, but Ragna couldn’t help but say, "Their strength is too strong. It’s as if we’re fighting far away from a city."
"!!!" Clovis couldn’t help but widen his eyes, noticing what was wrong with these beasts. "Retreat! These beasts don’t seem to be feeling the suppression of the stone pillar."
"How is that possible?" Melody asked while shooting the beasts that were caught by the wires. At the same time, she noticed that several wires had actually snapped. "The stone pillar is right in front of us!"
"Is it because those webs are covering it?" Kanaria asked.
"No way. If it’s that simple, the beasts we have fought before should be strong as well. There’s a chance that they have a way to avoid the suppression." Clovis gritted his teeth.
"Seriously?" Ragna frowned.
"Either way, we eliminate all these beasts first. We’ll discuss it later. Just be a bit more careful because they’re stronger!" Clovis paused for a moment. "Melody. Send that message to Aileen and Sir Albert and ask them to spread this information to the rest of the fighters."
"Okay."
Clovis continued killing one beast after another. Now that he had figured out their strength, he was a bit more careful in his movement.
Even though his killing speed decreased significantly, he was able to preserve some stamina and avoid injuries.
After all, the real problem was the Tier 4 beast.
As if noticing her role, Kanaria took out the magazine that contained Tier 3 bullets.
"Clovis, Jay, you guys should focus on one Tier 4 beast and kill it as quickly as possible. Ragna will handle the rest. I’ll be the one stopping the second Tier 4 beast."
Clovis was startled at first since it was rare for Kanaria to be so proactive in challenging a higher-tier beast. Still, Clovis readily agreed with the arrangement since she must have a plan.
After loading the Tier 3 bullet, she shifted her aim at the Tier 4 spider.
"Fuu…" Kanaria exhaled to steady her movement. Then she shot.
Bang!
The bullet pierced through the air and hit the ground. Yes, the bullet hit the ground because the spider actually jumped into the air.

"What? How could it move faster than a bullet? No…" Kanaria frowned. It wasn’t the spider’s speed. Instead, the spider actually jumped before she even pulled her trigger.
"Tsk." Kanaria immediately raised her aim. The spider shouldn’t be able to avoid her bullet when it was in the air.
But to her surprise, the spider actually shot a web toward the building on the side, pulling its entire body to escape from the bullet. Still, its movement was a bit slower, causing the bullet to hit one of its legs.
The leg was completely gone with a single hit. If the bullet somehow hit the body, the spider might actually die in an instant.
Kanaria shifted it again. This was just a battle of speed. As long as she was fast enough, she should be able to kill this spider before the latter slipped past Clovis and the others.
Bang!
Another bullet was shot, but this time, the spider actually smashed its entire body against the wall. The latter collapsed, allowing the spider to actually hide inside the building.
Kanaria’s body shook. If the spider hid there, it would be impossible to see its location.
It was because she was searching for the spider that she accidentally discovered another problem.
"Mhmm… Clovis. I think we have a problem." Kanaria’s expression turned solemn after finding an unexpected beast coming in their direction.
"What’s wrong?" Clovis asked while swinging his blade.
"There was another group of beasts approaching. It’s not a big group, but the problem is that… the one leading this group seems to be a Tier 5 beast."
"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes. On the one hand, he wanted to test his skill against a Tier 5 beast. His group should be able to fight a Tier 5 beast to a certain extent. On the other hand, the timing couldn’t be any worse.
They were already quite exhausted after fighting nonstop. There was no way his team would be able to fight against a Tier 5 in this condition unless he was willing to show his items from Another World Mall.
"Tsk. This might not be good…" Clovis’ expression darkened as if he couldn’t find any plan to handle this problem.
