Kanaria’s grandfather simply smiled without looking back. "It seems that your little helper is surrounded."
Thomas’ expression darkened. "It doesn’t really matter. As long as I kill you here, anything you prepare will be useless."
The assassin clicked his tongue. Even though he was surrounded, he was still a Tier 5 assassin.
If he understood the nature of Libation Fiesta, he knew that only Erwin had the ability to harm him.
As long as he paid attention to the bullet that would occasionally come to him, he would win this battle.
"Go for it, guys." Kanaria smiled, maintaining a certain distance from all of them.
The assassin knew after the first attack, Jay and Ragna would defend together, Erwin could fight on equal ground, and Kanaria was unreachable. The only one he could target was none other than Melody.
In that instant, he leaped toward Melody.
Jay and Erwin followed right away.
The assassin smiled. This was a fake. His real target was actually Jay. Now that Ragna was one step too late, the assassin immediately turned around and struck Jay.

Jay held his blade with both hands and unleashed all his momentum, using the trick for ranged attack.
The assassin was confused why Jay would swing before he reached him, but his instinct was warning him of danger.
Because of it, the assassin raised his dagger at the last second and abruptly stopped on his track.
Click!
A clicking sound echoed as the assassin could feel an impact despite the sword being still 30 cm away from him.
"!!!" The assassin realized that Jay was actually stronger from the report they had.
While he wasn’t as good as Clovis, who managed to extend his attack by 70 cm, Jay was still able to utilize this power.
Erwin wrapped the assassin’s body with his wires, but the latter swung his dagger at high speed, cutting every single wire without any restriction.
"!!!" Erwin was quite surprised. ’Those movements… It’s a double-edged sword. It might be strong enough to cut my wires, but he has abandoned his defense. We might be able to take advantage of that chance.’
"Haaaa!" Ragna had finally caught up. He rammed his shield against the assassin.
At the same time, Melody shot him. The assassin bit his lips and jumped into the air, the bullets hitting Ragna’s shield instead. Still, the moment the assassin was in the air, he became Kanaria’s target.
The assassin tilted its body at the last moment, but another bullet actually grazed his stomach. If it was any closer, the bullet would have scrapped some flesh. No, his entire stomach would have gone if he got hit by that bullet.
After all, the bullet managed to create a hole on the concrete road.
"Tsk." The assassin never thought he would be the one in disadvantage. It all started from Jay showing an ability that he had never known before.
’No. It doesn’t matter. As long as I can keep them here, Clovis would be defeated. We originally wanted his friends, but capturing him and then murdering his friends would be more feasible in this situation.’ The assassin thought. ’In that case, I’ll just buy time here.’
The other assassin charged at Clovis, waving his dagger. Clovis concentrated his momentum on his swing, releasing the ranged attack right off the bat.
"!!!" The assassin felt his dagger getting hit multiple times, making his swing much weaker when it finally reached Clovis’ blade.
However, the assassin’s eyes turned bloodshot as he unleashed all his strength as if saying, ’Just try it, brat!’
Clovis blocked the dagger with both swords, but his feet slid back for a meter before he got stopped by the door.
The assassin then came right after, not planning to let Clovis have some breathing time.
Clovis spun, barely avoiding the dagger that somehow cut through his door.
After that, Clovis increased his speed to the limit and tried to overwhelm the assassin with his extraordinary speed.
That was a mistake. The assassin unleashed his full strength when parrying the first attack, blowing Clovis away.
"…" Clovis maintained a calm expression. Now that he fought against a Tier 5 by himself, he understood that half-baked attack wouldn’t work.
Previously, he used speed to overwhelm someone, such as hitting their weapons multiple times to boost the strength of his attack.
However, against someone with overwhelming strength, it wasn’t going to work since the other party would have just pushed him back before the follow-up attacks arrived.
It was no wonder why Mara told him to focus on his momentum instead.
Only by using his momentum and ranged attack would he produce enough force to close the gap between them.
The assassin reached Clovis, but the latter had switched his stance after understanding the gap between them.
Clovis didn’t run away this time. He struck the assassin with all his strength but still didn’t manage to completely block his attack.
’Kh. This is still not enough. Even the food won’t be enough to bridge the gap between us. I need to kill this guy as quickly as possible before the food effect runs out…’
Clovis bit his lips. There was only one thing he could do. It was to enter the perfect state.
However, whenever he tried to get angry, the assassin would distract him with an attack. He needed a chance, and he knew how to get it.
Clovis clashed with the man multiple times. The latter managed to overwhelm him every single time, but Clovis was able to keep up, albeit barely.
Despite getting pushed back continuously, Clovis made a looping direction so that they would be fighting right next to the minibus.
During that time, the assassin dropped his guard slightly, thinking that no matter what Clovis did, he could still overpower him. Little did he know, he had been waiting for this exact moment.
"Reolf!" Clovis grinned.
"!!!" The assassin sensed danger coming from the side, which was the bus.
A big wolf slammed open the door and pounced on him, biting his shoulder.
"A-Aaggh!"
Clovis smirked. Reolf had just created a precious chance that Clovis used to get angry, triggering his perfect state. "Good boy."
