After they calmed down, Clovis turned to Melody, asking, "Is there a beast that is only Tier 1 but has a useful physical ability like a dog?"
"Ah, you mean their sense of smell?" Melody looked at the data. "Let me check for a second."
"So we’re going to fight with a beast next? Not that I don’t mind, but I have never taken care of a pet, let alone a beast." Erwin scratched the back of his head.
"But if you think about it, having a beast to assist us is actually quite helpful. If they can track or something, it’s going to be extremely useful in several cases. In addition, they are not easy to die, and their value will soar the moment they become stronger," explained Jay.
"That’s true." Erwin couldn’t deny it.
"No. What if the beast can become as strong as us? I mean, Clovis’ family has artifacts. Are they effective for beasts as well?" Ragna asked. The impact of artifacts changed his life, so he was more sensitive about these accessories and clothes.
"I’m thinking about finding it myself." Clovis scratched the back of his head. "How about you guys go ahead and investigate the next two cities? Meanwhile, I’ll be staying here to look for the beast."
"Isn’t this too dangerous?"
"Indeed."
Clovis had expected this reaction, so he added, "I mean, the beast will certainly not be too big. At least, it should be able to hide inside the car. Unless necessary, I don’t want to show it to others for the time being."
"True. It will make an uproar if people realize that a beast is fighting alongside a human." Jay nodded.
"How about letting one of us accompany you here?" Melody asked.
"Well, it’ll be a bit troublesome because we need to hurry up with the other investigation. I used to live here for more than a decade, so I know this city very well. I could investigate the city and find a beast even if I go alone." Clovis smiled wryly, indirectly implying that there was another reason that he couldn’t disclose.
Kanaria squinted her eyes. "Give me a reason."
"I want the best beast for our team. You should know that because the beast wave is coming much faster than our original schedule, no one is able to reach a higher tier, right?" Clovis asked.
"True." Jay nodded. "I’m still a bit too far… probably need another one month if I want to reach Tier 3."
"I’m still too far." Melody shook her head helplessly. Ragna also felt the same. Both of them were Tier 3, so they didn’t have the help of Clovis’ food.
Meanwhile, Erwin had just gotten to Tier 4, so there was no need to think much about it.
"Although I don’t want to admit it, our current strength is not enough to go against two Tier 5 humans." Clovis indirectly mentioned the two assassins. "Even if Erwin somehow is able to stop one of them, buying us a precious time to take down the other one, do you think it’ll be enough?"
"Ragna and I can stop the frontal assault, but…" Jay suddenly fell silent, almost forgetting the fact that they managed to do it because they managed to catch the assassins off guard. If it was a head-on fight, the result would be similar to fighting the Tier 5 spider.
Kanaria, Melody, and Clovis had to work together to somehow beat the Tier 5 assassin. But there was no assurance that it would work or that Erwin was able to stop the Tier 5 assassin by himself.
"It’s not that I’m looking down on you guys, but I think that having a strong beast will increase our chance to win," explained Clovis.
"The beast can help me or help you guys when necessary. And if it has a special sense or something, it’ll also be helpful in another way. So that’s why you want to choose a beast yourself? Then again, this is what your family has left behind, and you’re the only one who can train the beast." Erwin dropped the case. It wasn’t his position to actually intervene.
Unlike Melody, Kanaria didn’t bother to argue anymore. She chose to respect his decision and stood up. "Alright. We understand. We’ll go ahead without you. However, you only have two days to do it.
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
Two days later, we’ll be meeting in a certain spot and returning to our city for the last preparation against the incoming beast wave."
Kanaria chose to trust Clovis, knowing full well that Clovis did it for the sake of the group.
"Thank you." Clovis nodded with a solemn expression. He felt bad for lying and hoped that there would be a time he could share it with everyone, but that would probably be far in the future.
"Well…" Jay couldn’t say anything since Kanaria had agreed. Ragna was the same. Melody smiled wryly, wondering if she could say the same thing during their time in the wasteland. Erwin wasn’t convinced, but he had no other choice when the others had agreed.
"In that case, we’ll take our leave here. You should be able to see the beast’s information through the Skyglasses, so get what you want." Melody closed the screen as if she had finished all the necessary work.
"Thanks."
"Alright. Let’s get going!" Kanaria waved her hand.
Clovis waved back. He watched them leave.
He was fortunate that Hana wasn’t here. If she was here, she would do anything to dig up more information. The value of taming a beast was much higher than the beast souls after all.
But if she found out about Another World Mall, it would become even more complicated.
Nevertheless, his team was already gone. It had been a while since he was alone, but this way, he could really find all the beasts he wanted. Clovis took out a small lens that he bought. Blue said that he could find a beast close to Tier 2 with this. "If I can somehow make the beast reach Tier 2 in one night, it’ll be wonderful. I wonder what kind of beast I will get."
