"Kanaria, in position."
"Jay, in position."
"Clovis, in position. It’s your call, Kanaria," said Clovis while looking at the map.
Kanaria was looking at a Tier 2 lizard called Megalania. This lizard was considered one of the largest lizards to have ever existed. Its length was close to seven meters. It had a robust build, powerful limbs, and a long tail.
Their target this time was this lizard.
…
A moment ago.
While watching the beasts from the top of the building, Kanaria noticed a giant lizard moving to a building. On the way, Melody immediately showed them the lizard’s picture while saying, "This lizard seems to be in one of the requests."
"Really?" Clovis frowned. "What is the mission?"
"Wait a bit. I’ll show you about it." Melody took a few seconds before showing the post about the mission.
Mission: Megalania Subjugation.
Description: Kill a Tier 2 Megalania and obtain its essence and blood.
"Blood? Do we have a container for that?" Clovis frowned.
"We can probably do it somehow. There is a small freezer on the car, so we can use it to preserve the blood sample. But it means that no one can enjoy a cool drink, and the car has to be active all the time." Kanaria explained.
"Will there be a problem?"
"Other than those two inconveniences, no."
Clovis nodded. "Alright. We shall subjugate the Tier 2 Megalania. Kanaria will go to the building on the north side, while Jay and I will protect the building. We will make the beasts come to the building before taking care of them as a team."
"Got it."
"There are about seven beasts around that building. You have to kill them first." Kanaria warned them while stepping back before running to her new spot.
Without hesitation, both Jay and Clovis moved toward the building as Melody showed the path to efficiently kill the beasts around the building.
After they killed the last beast, Kanaria entered the building without alarming all the beasts in the area before reporting. "Kanaria, in position."
"Your call, Kanaria. Shoot them anytime." Clovis raised his sword while Jay got excited to kill some beasts.
Kanaria was looking at all the beasts to choose which side to cover first. After finding her side, she aimed at one Tier 0 beast and shot it.
*Bang!*
The shot shattered the peace of the city once again, alerting all the beasts around them.
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
A series of roars filled the area as the beasts began to rush in Kanaria’s direction.
"There will be a lot of them, Jay. Get ready." Clovis smirked.
"Hehe. Want to make a little bet? Who can defeat the most?" Jay was fired up while looking at the beasts.
"Sure. Our target gives us five points. The rest will be counted as one."
"You’re on."
After reaching an agreement, both of them ran toward the beasts.
Kanaria smiled when looking at these two. However, she had one more task to do, which was to confirm the target.
When she raised her aim, she saw the Tier 2 megalania emerge from the building to look for its prey.
"I have spotted the Tier 2 megalania. It’s on the way here." Kanaria reported.
But to her surprise, she didn’t get any replies from Clovis and Jay.
"Hmm?" Kanaria furrowed her eyebrows, looking down. Both of them were killing the enemies without any problems. In fact, their actions felt like they didn’t hear anything from her. "Did they not hear me?"
Kanaria frowned. "Hello? Clovis? Jay? Melody? Anyone can hear me?"
There was no response. Kanaria instantly felt something weird as she immediately backed down and hid behind the wall. She checked her equipment to see if it was broken or not.
However, the skyglasses still looked normal. It was just that she couldn’t say anything on the radio, which was weird.
"Mhmm?" Kanaria looked down, contemplating. It was then that she remembered Clovis’s words last night. "Don’t tell me…"
Without hesitation, Kanaria rushed to the stairs. In fact, she simply leaped over the railing and proceeded to go down the stairs. She even stayed outside the windows so that even her shadow wasn’t seen.
’Aren’t they moving too fast?’ Kanaria furrowed her eyebrows. Even though there was a high possibility that they weren’t going to get killed by a sniper, it didn’t change the fact that she should be out of their sight in case it wasn’t like what they thought.
Kanaria hurriedly climbed down the building and broke the window to exit the building so that she could use the alley to hide her position.
This way, the enemy wouldn’t know her position and would constantly look for her.
Jay continued killing the beasts one by one, but Clovis noticed the gunshot had stopped.
"Kanaria?" Clovis called her name with a confused tone. "Melody?"
If Kanaria was taken out, Melody would definitely respond. After all, she was hidden from plain sight. In that case, it seemed that his transmission wasn’t working, and coupled with the fact that Kanaria had stopped shooting, Clovis realized it was an enemy’s attack.
"Jay!"
"Huh?" Jay glanced at Clovis while slashing the beast in front of him.
"Get into the building. Don’t show yourself outside." Clovis ran toward the building on the right without hesitation. He didn’t even bother to reply to Jay’s question.
His action was enough to show Jay the severity of their situation, so he immediately used the building on the left as a cover. At the same time, the beasts were split into two groups.
On the other hand, Clovis kept trying to contact Melody. "Melody? Can you hear me?"
Since he had no way of knowing their situation, Clovis ended up with a dilemma. On the one hand, he had to check Kanaria’s situation. On the other hand, Melody’s fate was also unknown.

His heart was telling him to find Kanaria, but his brain asked him to go to Melody instead. After all that conversation last night, he had to believe in Kanaria.
"Huu…" Clovis bit his lips before cutting all the beasts in front of him, making his way toward Melody.
