*Rumble!*
*Rumble!*
"Ret—!" Albert abruptly stopped when he heard the commotion. At first, he thought the rumbling sounds were caused by beasts destroying some buildings, but he realized it was something else because the spider actually turned its body around.
"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes in shock. "What’s happening?"
"Scree!" The spider changed its order. All of a sudden, the beasts turned around and started rushing toward the stone pillar. Even the Tier 7 spider was the same.
"What is going on?" Albert panicked. He thought something big was happening and might cause even more devastation, so he hurriedly jumped into a building.
The stone pillar was still covered with a cloud of dust. It was impossible for him to determine what caused it, but it was clear that the boulders came from within the pillar. "Did those people knock down all those boulders? They had agreed not to do that because there was a possibility of me investigating the pillar. Did someone want to kill me?"
That was what he thought before the cloud of dust started spinning as if it were about to form a tornado.
But the spiral that was gradually expanding was suddenly blown away by a shock wave, dispersing all the dust in all directions.
It was there that he saw a figure.
"A woman?" Albert frowned. "Who?"
It was hard to see her facial features from this distance. The only thing he knew was that she had black hair and was holding a glaive.
A lot of beasts were coming toward her, including the Tier 7 spider. Even the Tier 6 beast that Friday stopped was trying to break free as if it wanted to help the spider.
Looking at the incoming beasts, Mara’s expression remained unchanged.
She walked down the rubble as if nothing could bother her. Even when the beasts were about to arrive, her stance didn’t change. Yet the moment the beasts were only one meter away, their bodies were suddenly sliced apart.
"!!!" Albert widened his eyes in shock. "What? What did she do? I couldn’t even see her moving her weapon."
"Ha… Ha… I’ve caught up." Clovis panted a few times as he just climbed this building from the outside. When he saw the figure in the distance, he couldn’t help but drop his jaw. "Wait. Is that…"
Albert was so focused on Mara that he didn’t realize Clovis was next to him.
This time, a few Tier 4 and Tier 5 beasts were coming to surround her.
Mara lifted her glaive. It might be the first time she moved her glaive or was seen to be moving her glaive.
With a single wave of her glaive, a wind pressure was generated that launched all the beasts back. Some beasts with a weaker defense were instantly sliced into two. The beasts with tougher skins crashed into multiple buildings as their bodies were crushed from all those impacts.
Even the residual gale coming from that powerful swing caused several buildings near her to collapse.
Clovis was mind-blown by this attack. "That’s… not strength. It’s momentum. Can you produce that much power with just momentum?"
More importantly, this shock wave was produced only by a single hand. Yes, Mara had yet to use her other hand even though a glaive was supposed to be a two-handed weapon. In other words, she was far from showing her true strength.
Even though his grandfather was known as a Tier 9 explorer, he had never seen him fight before. No one was able to capture a battle between two Tier 9s from up close as they would definitely die.
However, Clovis had seen the aftermath of the clash between two Tier 9s on Skynet.
Whenever two Tier 9s fought, they would produce craters as if there were meteorite showers in the area. The buildings would be razed to the ground, and trees or boulders would be swept away. They could turn a city into a desolate land with their own power.
’So this is the power the world fears...’ Clovis sucked a cold breath. ’The power of Tier 9.’

To reach his goal, he believed that Tier 9 was just one of the requirements. That was why just looking at this battle was beneficial for him.
Meanwhile, the beasts continued rushing toward Mara, even if it was useless. They had to tire her out first before killing her, was what the Tier 7 spider thought.
However, all the lower-tier beasts ended up dying before they could even reach her.
Seeing such a situation, the Tier 6 let Friday punch him before slapping him away.
"Roar!" The Tier 6 beast finally broke free on Friday.
"No! I don’t know what’s happening, but I can’t let the Tier 6 beast regroup with the spider." Friday tried to chase after the beast, only to be shocked by what happened next.
When the Tier 6 beast arrived, it was charging at Mara on all four feet like a bullet train instead of a tower.
The Tier 6 beast was planning to use its entire body’s weight to crush her.
Mara’s left leg took a big step forward as she finally held the glaive with both hands. She pulled the glaive back.
"Roar!" The Tier 6 beast’s roar resounded throughout the city as it bulldozed every building on its path.
Even in this position, the beast was still more than six meters tall. Mara looked like an ant in front of a human’s foot. Yet the moment she swung her blade upward, the wind pressure rose into the air, blowing the beast’s body up.
"!!!" The Tier 6 beast looked confused, not knowing why its body was back up.
"Scree!" The Tier 7 spider noticed that things would get dangerous. It was moving at full speed, trying to catch up to the Tier 6 beast and somehow save it.
Unbeknownst to both of them, Mara had already jumped into the air, her glaive above her head.
"Moon Cleaving Blade."
She swung her glaive down.
There was a sudden tranquil atmosphere inside the town. Both the Tier 6 beast and the Tier 7 spider didn’t let out a single sound.
The next thing they realized was that both of them were split into two. The blood that was supposed to spurt from their bodies got blown away by the shock wave that traveled right after it. Its force was so powerful that it blasted the bodies to the sides, crushing the buildings on their way.
More importantly, the strike still crushed more than seven buildings in a straight line, even after cutting two giant beasts as if she were telling them to get off her way.
