The scorpions didn’t hesitate to chase after Clovis and Melody. The Tier 3 scorpions were the first ones to come. Clovis thought that there would be low-tier scorpions turning into bait, but it seemed that they didn’t want to turn the corpses into a wall.
Clovis couldn’t help but smile since this was the opportunity he had been waiting for. This was the only way to defeat all the scorpions in his current condition.
The grand stairs were big enough for a Tier 4 and a Tier 3 scorpions to pass simultaneously.
As a result, Clovis stood in front of the Tier 4 scorpion while Melody blasted the Tier 3 scorpion with her shotgun.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The Tier 3 scorpion was wailing in pain as its claws were being ripped apart by the shotgun’s shell as Melody gradually stopped the beast.
Meanwhile, Clovis’ opponent was a Tier 4 scorpion that was lightly injured by Melody earlier.

The Tier 4 scorpion and Clovis waved their respective weapons. A series of clicking sounds echoed as none of them got an advantage in this clash.
With Clovis’ current condition, the high ground only allowed him to close the gap between him and the Tier 4 scorpion.
But that was enough for him.
He kept clashing with the scorpion for a while, which caused a huge traffic jam behind it.
With nowhere to go, the scorpion had no choice but to advance.
Clovis started converting his momentum to power. Their clashes became slower, but each blow was much more powerful. Clovis started overwhelming the scorpion with his powerful blow.
However, that was until Clovis struck the claw and somehow his sword slid on top of the claw’s surface. The swing ended up causing his blade to strike the ground, allowing the Tier 4 scorpion to move past his defense and strike him from the side.
"Kh!" Clovis slammed his entire body to that claw, barely stopping its force. The scorpion planned to take advantage of this situation to kill Clovis.
"Melody! Grenade!"
Melody was startled that Clovis was the one losing. She immediately tossed it to Clovis. Seeing the grenade that caused injuries to its people, the scorpion panicked and slammed Clovis with the other claw so that he would fall to the bottom. At the same time, he also sent forth his stinger to stop the grenade from reaching Clovis.
’As expected, you don’t know what a feint is…’ Clovis muttered. That panicked movement created a small gap in the scorpion’s movement. He instantly took that narrow gap and cut the joint of its claw, cutting it down.
At the same time, his short sword struck the stinger, stopping it. As soon as the grenade passed him, he dropped his short sword and grabbed the grenade. With a gentle flick, the pin fell to the ground.
"Scree!" The scorpion made a desperate attempt by plunging its mouth toward Clovis. At the very least, it could take Clovis’ arm away.
That was what Clovis had been waiting for. He smoothly tossed the grenade into the scorpion’s mouth before skillfully picking up his gun and shooting the scorpion’s mouth.
The scorpion was screaming while trying to go back, protecting its face with its claws. Yet that was the time the grenade exploded.
Boom!
The explosion might not be big, but it occurred inside the beast’s mouth.
The beast was in pain as most of its head was destroyed from the inside. The blood was pouring down the floor, causing it to be more slippery.
"Ouch." Clovis gritted his teeth as he fell on his back due to the shock wave produced by the explosion. However, he hurriedly got up and kicked the beast with all his strength.
After losing its balance, the scorpion was sliding down the stairs, bulldozing all the scorpions behind it.
The other Tier 4 managed to stop the falling corpse, but Clovis immediately changed position with Melody.
He struck the Tier 3 scorpion who was too focused on Melody, killing it. With just an eye contact, Melody immediately moved toward the other Tier 4. She tossed the flashbang and used the Tier 3 scorpion’s corpse to avoid the blast.
The Tier 4 scorpion was in disarray because of that flashbang. Melody shot the Tier 4 scorpion’s mouth through that gap, deforming its mouth. Then Clovis swept in and struck the remaining claw, exposing the front part of the scorpion.
The other scorpions tried to stop him, but with Melody stopping them and the scorpion having no claws left, there was nothing that stopped him from slashing the scorpion’s face at full force.
While he had to occasionally dodge the stinger, the scorpion’s face was completely ruined and the blood loss was insane. It only took twenty seconds before the second Tier 4 scorpion died.
Clovis panted a few times. He started losing the feeling of his hands. From the looks of it, there were still more than forty scorpions left, but there were only two Tier 3 scorpions left among them.
"Melody!"
"I know. We push! It’s time to hit them back!" Melody grabbed her pistol and handed it to him. "Use this instead."
"!!!" Clovis was surprised that Melody offered him to sue two pistols instead of his swords. It seemed that she noticed that his hands were already shaking and his grips had been weakened.
Clovis grabbed it with a smile. "Thanks."
"Let’s do it!"
"Yeah!"
The two of them turned into demons. They started killing one scorpion after another with bullets. If their claws were strong enough to block the pistols, Melody would blast them with her shotgun. Clovis would then exploit that gap to kill them.
At the same time, Clovis would also distract the enemy if it would take too much shot for Melody to kill a scorpion.
Although Clovis took over the command earlier, both of them actually managed to turn around the situation and defeat more than one hundred and fifty scorpions after falling into their traps.
