The place they were using to hunt was actually a parking lot. The parking lot had a lot of space. While they couldn’t hide, they should have no trouble getting help from Kanaria.
After all, Kanaria was stationed in the building diagonal from the parking lot. It was a five-story building, which should give her a height advantage.
"How many beasts are around us?" Clovis asked.
"From the radar, there should be about 24 beasts. One of you should go to the building to set up an ambush on the building while the other remains in that parking lot to split up their number."
Kanaria looked at them from the top floor of the building. "I have visuals for a lot of them. There are even some beasts a bit further away that might join the battle. So, expect about thirty or forty beasts."
"In that case, Clovis, you should hide." Jay pointed at the building with a smirk.
"What? No, no. I should be the bait." Clovis shook his head.
"While I’m not foolish, I don’t like using my brain. Hiding and ambushing the enemies requires a lot of timing and precision, so you’re more suitable." Jay shrugged.
Clovis’s eyebrows twitched when he heard the desperation in that first part. He sighed, "Fine. You can take this place. But beware… While the majority in this place are Tier 0 beasts, the number of Tier 1 beasts is much higher than anything we have seen."
"I know. This is a Tier 2 territory while the center of the city is Tier 3. So, you don’t have to worry about that."
Clovis nodded with a serious expression. There was another reason why he chose to agree with this arrangement. The building was much closer to Melody, so he could react in case something unexpected happened.
He remembered the case of the Tier 2 snake after all. If there was indeed someone who was targeting him, he thought they would send multiple Tier 2 beasts to them in one way or another. In fact, Tier 3 might be possible.

When Clovis entered the building, he could see multiple infrared sensors that had been set up in the building. He was hiding on the second floor and was ready to ambush them.
Kanaria aimed her weapon at one of the beasts while Jay unsheathed his saber.
"Clovis. Your call," said Kanaria while observing the entire area.
"Let’s hunt."
The moment she got the confirmation, Kanaria pulled the trigger.
*Bang!*
Even though she had used a suppressor, the loud gunshot still broke the peace in the area.
The beast she targeted earlier died on the spot, but the beasts in the area raised their heads. All of them were moving in unison toward the source of the sound.
Before shooting them, Kanaria took another look at the beasts while saying, "There is a Tier 2 beast. I’m not sure about this one, but from what I can see, there are at least 5 Tier 1 beasts. The rest are Tier 0."
"What is the Tier 2 beast?" Clovis asked.
Melody gave the answer by showing information about it.
Name: Megaloceros or Giant Deer.
Period: 400,000 to 7,700 years ago.
Description: A large herbivorous mammal with enormous antlers that could span up to 4 meters in width.
Strength: hard antlers, fast, ridiculous power.
Weakness: The body is inflexible.
"You can get us this kind of information as well?" Clovis couldn’t help but smile.
"I can do that for all of them, but I think they are too much to process within a short period of time. I mean, not me, but all of you."
"Fair enough. We don’t have a lot of time to read a lot." Clovis nodded in understanding.
Jay couldn’t help but get excited, thinking, ’Come, deer. Let me fight you.’
"Kanaria. Kill as many Tier 0 beasts as you can. Make sure that every single shot counts. We don’t know how many we will hunt in this exploration, so conserve your ammunition as much as possible." Clovis made his decision.
"Got it." As soon as Kanaria acknowledged his order, she aimed at another Tier 0 beast and pulled the trigger.
*Bam!*
The beast didn’t know what happened until it was too late. The Tier 1 and Tier 2 beasts seemed to notice the bullet and hurriedly raised their heads, knowing where they were supposed to go.
However, when the beasts were approaching, Jay smacked his weapon to the light pole, causing a ringing sound that took away most beasts’ attention.
They abruptly stopped for a split second and turned around to check on Jay. Since they could easily see Jay, they changed their target to him.
But during the time they stopped, Kanaria hurriedly shot multiple beasts in rapid succession.
Jay smirked, looking at the incoming beasts.
"Haaaa!" Jay started running toward them. Since most of them were Tier 0, there should be nothing that could stop his blade.
Meanwhile, some beasts still entered the building as if choosing Kanaria as their priority.
The infrared sensors immediately found them and Melody simply created a projection from Clovis for their locations. He now finally understood why she arranged the sensors in that way.
Currently, he saw five beasts entering the building. One of them was already climbing up, so when it reached the second floor, Clovis immediately came out behind the wall and stabbed the beast in the head. The other beast noticed the commotion and went to the stairs.
However, Clovis simply kicked the corpse toward this beast, causing it to be unable to move. After that, Clovis jumped and struck the beast with his sword.
"Clovis. The Tier 2 beast seems to be coming at you," Melody warned him.
"Okay." Clovis acknowledged it while trying to look through the stairs’ railing. He expected the beast to come through the door, but he didn’t know that the beast was actually bigger than the double door.
"No. Hurry up and go to the second floor!" Melody warned him in a panicked tone, bewildering Clovis.
However, it seemed that there wasn’t enough time. The wall suddenly crumbled to the ground, revealing the giant deer outside. Now, he finally understood why Melody panicked.
"Oh… this… He’s going to tear down the stairs."
