Jay was slashing one beast after another before Clovis suddenly appeared, cutting a few heads from behind. "Yo, Jay. You good?"
"They prevented me from having a bout with that Tier 2." Jay snorted. He was still thinking about their competition even though most beasts came his way.
"Hahaha. We can talk later. We’ll kill all these beasts within thirty seconds." Clovis chuckled as his eyes flashed.
"You got it." Jay’s expression turned solemn.
Both of them jumped in the opposite directions, killing more than ten beasts in just twenty seconds.
The beasts couldn’t do anything to them.
"Melody!"
"Updating." Melody tapped a few things on her device as a mini map appeared on the corner of the screen, showing an arrow that they should follow.
Clovis and Jay exchanged nods as they left the building and regrouped with them before following the route.
"What’s the report?" Clovis asked.
"There are a lot of beasts… Several hundred at the very least," said Melody while looking at the map.
"Even if we go to the northeast, there will be a small wave stopping us. But their number shouldn’t be higher than the one behind us, so we’ll break through. Sadly, I don’t bring my rifle here," Kanaria added as she had observed the situation from above earlier.
"Breaking through, huh?" Clovis glanced at Jay. The latter nodded in agreement as he said, "We’ll be the vanguards. Please assist us."
"Got it."
"I can’t show you the same details as earlier, but determining their names and tiers should be possible. We’ll break through their weakest link." Melody raised her head, finding the beasts coming toward them. She looked at the map and added, "There are a total of 70 beasts in front of us."
Clovis looked at their names and Tier. Melody made it easy to spot them by marking them with a different color.
On the left side, they could see several Tier 1 beasts, and the middle had two Tier 2 beasts. The right side was the weakest, with only one Tier 1 beast.
"We’ll adjust our position at the last moment. I’ll make the call." Clovis took a deep breath, using his slow vision to get the perfect timing.
All of them positioned themselves behind Clovis to match his timing.
The beasts released a series of roars to overwhelm them. Instead of stopping, Clovis even increased his pace as if challenging the beasts.
They were positioned slightly toward the left side. The moment the beasts jumped, Clovis hurriedly curved to the right.

"!!!" The others were following him.
The beasts on the left ended up missing them. The ones in the middle tried to stop them, but Kanaria and Melody shot them multiple times to hinder their movements.
It was then that Clovis and Jay stepped forth, unleashing their full might on the right side.
Their movements were swift and precise as they slashed one beast after another.
They were utilizing their abilities as Tier 1 humans to the fullest. A drastic decrease in their speed would be fatal because the beasts would surround them.
Clovis sliced the beast in front of him as another one stormed from the right. He spun his body and struck the beast with his short sword, but the beast managed to avoid the vital area. Seeing that it was impossible to kill it, Clovis simply kicked the beast away and continued.
Jay was the same. His arm felt a bit heavy after all the slashes he made. Sometimes, it didn’t even slice through their bodies, so Jay simply kicked the injured beasts and moved on. In a sense, Clovis and Jay’s fighting styles were similar.
Kanaria was using her pistol since speed was the essence. She shot the incoming beasts to take some burden off Jay and Clovis.
However, the most amazing one was actually Melody. While maintaining her eyes on the screen, she kept shooting at the incoming beasts.
It seemed that she was relying on her pure instincts and senses to locate the enemies.
This was the essence of a mobile operator. Not only could they fight, but they could also help navigate and show necessary information to the rest of the group.
Still, Kanaria never expected that the lazy operator they hired would turn out to be one.
Was she hiding that fact? If she was hiding her identity as a mobile operator, she definitely got them good. However, Melody could get a lot more money if she advertised herself as a mobile operator.
When Kanaria thought about it, Clovis’s words echoed in her mind.
’I don’t mind if you want to slack off or anything. But when everyone is tired, I’m going to make you work for what I have paid for.’
She couldn’t help but think that Clovis had figured out that Melody was a mobile operator.
After seeing Melody’s performance, they should have no problem getting away from this beast horde. She also had to apologize to Melody for insulting her before.
However, that thought was cut short when the situation took a turn for the worse.
"We’re about to go—" Melody wanted to inform them that they almost broke through the enemy’s line but all of a sudden, her instincts warned her. She raised her head and saw a monkey in the air. It was actually aiming for Clovis. "Clovis!"
"!!!" Clovis also saw the monkey. He hurriedly raised both his swords to block the punch of this proconsul. Clovis couldn’t help but remember what Kanaria said before the mission. There was a Tier 3 proconsul ruling this fallen territory. And he didn’t expect that this monkey would be its ruler.
*Bang!*
The fist felt like metal, as the punch was actually strong enough to launch Clovis into the building on the right.
"Kh." Clovis gritted his teeth. He was completely stopped, meaning that the others had to help him.
And the first one to act was not Kanaria or Jay. It was Melody.
She tossed two grenades in rapid succession, one to the proconsul and the other to the beasts behind them.
"Get down!"
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
