Two mysterious guys were standing next to a giant machine. They had been hiding in this city for a while.
"The communication has been cut off," said one of them while checking his device. "Should we begin?"
"…" The other guy maintained his silence while looking at the radar. "How far is the range of this machine again?"
"About ten kilometers. It should be enough to reach the center of the city. Even though it is weak, there is still a chance that the Tier 3 beast will also get disturbed by the sound."
The man frowned. "That lass from the Renvolt family is moving. It seems that she is trying to stop the jamming device."
"What? This soon? Does she know where they are?"
"I’m not sure. If I’m not wrong, they have a new operator, right? Who is it?"
"I don’t know. I have been trying to find the information, but other than the fact that there is a new operator, I can’t get anything else."
"Is it erased?" The guy frowned.
"I don’t know."
"…"
There was an awkward silence that lasted for a whole minute. On the one hand, they weren’t that afraid of fighting them. On the other hand, this new operator piqued their interest.
Someone who could hide their tracks from them must be extremely talented.
"If there is indeed such a talented operator, we have to activate the machine as soon as possible. If they manage to restore their connection before the beasts arrive, they can easily regroup and defeat these beasts."
Without hesitation, the guy immediately turned on the machine while the other one was controlling it.
"Did you see the operator? Did that person join the front line?"
"No. I think the operator is a camping operator."
"That’s good then. We will distract them and the operator will be useless."
Both of them seemed to have reached an agreement while activating the machine.
The light had been turned on, and the speaker began to release a sound. The sound itself couldn’t be heard by a normal person, only beasts could.

However, the effect wasn’t immediate.
"Hmm? Nothing is happening."
"No sounds coming from the beasts… Is this item broken?"
"Maybe defective…"
"But the one selling it was that guy, so I don’t think this is defective."
They were confused, doubting that the machine actually worked. But they found out that the machine was working before long as a series of roars resounded across the city.
…
"This is getting bad." Melody sighed. "Although I don’t want to do it, I guess I have to stop being lazy today if I want to survive."
Melody opened her bag and took out a pistol and a few grenades. No one would imagine that she had brought all these dangerous items in her backpack.
But with this, she could come out of the car.
After checking the radar, Melody immediately moved toward Kanaria instead of Clovis and Jay.
Kanaria, who was still observing the enemy’s movement, suddenly heard Melody’s voice from the transmission.
"Kanaria. Can you hear me?"
"Melody? I see. The communication has been restored." Kanaria felt relieved that she had done something for the group.
However, Melody immediately shot her down by saying, "No. I’m using the short-range transmission. I can’t be too far from you with this. In fact, I’m currently right at the bottom of the building."
"What?" Kanaria widened her eyes in disbelief.
"So, get down for now. There is a beast wave coming here. It’s best to retreat before they reach us. I leave behind the car and all other equipment just for this, so hurry up." Melody’s tone became strict. It was far different from her usual way of speaking.
Kanaria took a few seconds to think before retreating back to the inside. When she climbed down the building, she could see Melody waiting for her on the first floor.
Her left hand was holding a pistol, while her right hand was typing.
"Let’s go. I have created a route for us to retreat." Melody pointed outside.
Kanaria felt weird, but she didn’t have any choice but to follow her. It was quite surprising that Melody was moving like this. After all, she perfectly understood what it meant for an operator leading in the front. Was Melody a mobile operator? She thought.
They were moving toward Clovis and Jay while maintaining a certain distance from the building next to them. They had to be covered perfectly after all.
It only took one minute before they could see the places where Clovis and Jay were besieged. A lot of beasts had died, but it didn’t really matter.
As soon as they were in range, Melody activated her device and spoke, "Clovis, Jay. Do you copy?"
"Melody?!" Both of them replied at the same time.
"The communication hasn’t been restored and this place is going to be run over by the beasts. So, we will regroup and retreat according to my route."
"Got it." Clovis answered without hesitation before he noticed Kanaria and Melody in the corner of his eyes. "I found you two."
All of a sudden, the skyglasses colored a few beasts red.
"I’ll take care of the red ones. You kill the rest before heading to Jay," said Melody while raising her pistol.
Clovis couldn’t help but smile as he slashed the beast in front of him. As soon as the beast died, he kicked the body toward another beast to hinder its movement before impaling it with his short sword.
There was a ’red’ beast coming from the right, but before it could leap into the air, Melody shot its body, causing the beast to fall down. Then she shot it another two times to kill it completely.
Clovis spun his body to fight the one coming from the opposite side, but Kanaria actually shot this beast before it could even approach him.
"…" Clovis only smiled because these two were truly reliable. But it was obvious that Kanaria did it because she didn’t want to lose to Melody.
Since that was the case, he headed straight to Jay’s location at fast speed while saying, "We’ll discuss compensation and other things after we’re safe, okay?"
"Sure," Melody replied while shooting another beast.
