The assassin’s eyes turned bloodshot, the killing intent emitted from his eyes made Clovis subconsciously tighten his grip. Even Reolf was gnashing its teeth.
The assassin charged forward.
Clovis did the same, slashing his swords at the same time. Clovis would definitely lose this engagement if not for Reolf suddenly climbing Clovis’ back and leaping into the air.
"Grra!" The wolf hit the assassin from above. Since the assassin had been doing well with his kicks, it was only normal if they attacked from above.
As a result, the assassin’s body tilted back until he fell to the ground.
Without hesitation, Clovis used the ranged attack by swinging his sword from above.
The assassin was blocking the dagger at the last moment, but his shirt was cut. A sword mark appeared on his chest. The bleeding wasn’t much, but the fact that Clovis’ attack could reach him meant Clovis was close to Tier 5 with this mysterious power.
Those who could become Tier 8 in the future were able to defeat an enemy one Tier above them. However, only those Tier 9 humans managed to kill someone two tiers above them when they were still young.
There was no way he could believe that Clovis was able to reach him. Even though Reolf was powerful, it wasn’t enough to match his strength.
The assassin kicked Clovis on the stomach, launching him away. However, Reolf used his body as a cushion, stopping Clovis completely.
After that, both of them approached the assassin, who was getting back on his feet.
Clovis attacked from the left side, forcing the assassin to use his dagger.
Reolf approached from the right. The assassin threw a back kick at Reolf, but surprisingly, Reolf stopped before he reached the assassin’s attack range.
Once he avoided the kick, Reolf leaped into the air. The assassin was elastic enough to send a kick above his head, but Clovis, who was pushed back by his attack earlier, had switched weapons.
Since Reolf was in the air, there was no way he would hit Reolf in case he missed.
"Annoying!" The assassin gritted his teeth and switched targets from Reolf to Clovis.
Clovis smiled and changed back to his short sword. This time, he moved as quickly as possible, passing the assassin.
The dagger scratched him from the lower right arm all the way to the upper arm. It was long like Reolf’s wound, but fortunately, it wasn’t too deep.
At the same time, Clovis managed to hit him on the right shoulder and the left waist. The wound was pretty deep, causing him to bleed profusely.
Clovis grinned. Mutual destruction was something he had grown accustomed to. Since that was the only way to defeat him, he wouldn’t mind as long as Reolf wasn’t the one doing it.
"Annoying." The assassin gritted his teeth while thinking, ’If only I still had my left arm, he would have lost it already. If this continues, I might sustain heavy losses even if I manage to subdue him. It would be impossible to escape with that condition.
The assassin looked around, wondering if there was anything that could distract Clovis.
Unfortunately, because they were fighting right in front of Clovis’ house, the other party would already know about it.
"You might be strong, but you’ll be defeated sooner or later."
"Is that so? You’re talking too much in a battle. All barks and no bites." Clovis snorted.
"I’m merely praising you to give you a chance. There are a lot of people who want to know the secret that the Hacfield family has. I wonder what they’re going to do if they know that Michael Hacfield’s grandson has the unique ability to tame a beast and empower not only himself but his teammates, including the beast."
Clovis’ expression turned dark. "Are you threatening me?"
"I’m giving you a chance."
"Fat chance. I’ll give you a chance as well. Kill yourself, and I won’t crush the organization behind you."
"You truly don’t know anything. This place is done for." The assassin laughed.
"What?" Clovis frowned.
"Even if you know the beast wave is coming, this city simply doesn’t have enough people to fight against more than a hundred thousand beasts."
"Do you think you can confuse me with those claims?" Clovis snorted.
"Confuse you? You’re joking. I’m merely stating the facts. You will be confused after those walls got breached by those beasts. None of you are going to survive." The assassin smirked. "I’m giving you one last chance.
Tell me about your secret and the Hacfield’s family’s secret, I can take you away from here."
"My secret? You think I’m a fool. I know that you’re here to capture me. After that, you can easily throw me to a place with a lot of beasts to kill me."
"It seems that you’re not going to take it. Then, you and everyone else in this base will be swallowed by all 120,000 beasts that are currently surrounding the city."
…
East Wall.
"Reinforce that spot!" Vania shouted while looking at everything on the map. In the end, she was an operator, so she was more focused on supporting the entire army.
"Vania. There is one Tier 5 beast spotted." Nick pointed forward.
"I know. Don’t worry. Everything is under control. You just have to focus on thinning out their number. I’ll tell you when to fight that Tier 5 beast."
"Thinning out their number, eh? Easier said than done. Look at this beast wave… How many beasts are here?"
"What are you complaining about? There are only 70,000 beasts according to my calculation." Vania snorted. "We might sustain some damage, but it won’t be enough to destroy us."
"70,000 beasts? Wasn’t it supposed to go beyond 100,000? Now that I think about it, my father left the city for a day…" Nick narrowed his eyes.

"Well, that’s…"
Even though both Vania and Clovis weren’t in the same place, they were smiling at the same time as though they had done something to stop at least 50,000 beasts from coming.
Both of them said, "…That’s what we want you to believe."
