"Get down!"
"!!!" Kanaria and Jay hurriedly ducked as the grenades exploded.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
The Tier 3 proconsul was blown to the side, but with only a light injury. The beasts behind them were injured, especially the low level ones. Two of them even died.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have a lot of time. Without hesitation, Melody moved toward Clovis while extending her hand. "Come on!"
Clovis gritted his teeth while taking her hand. They needed to go before getting swarmed by these beasts.
However, he doubted that they would have enough speed to outrun all these beasts. Unlike the Tier 2 snake, they were pretty fast.
Kanaria and Jay had also recovered and continued moving in the same direction, slipping past the monkey.
"Hurry!"
The monkey let out a cry that ordered all the beasts to chase after them. It didn’t seem to be planning to leave them alive.
"Tsk." Melody clicked her tongue and shot a few beasts without looking.
"Have we gone out of the jamming range?" Clovis asked.
"In another thirty meters. Do you have any ideas?"
"It’s impossible to escape from them, especially if we consider the beasts that came from the opposite side ofwere our original location. So, we have no choice but to kill all these beasts here before they come." Clovis’s expression turned solemn as though he was serious about killing a Tier 3 beast with his current strength.
He should have felt the difference in their strength. The monkey was simply too fast and powerful.
As he said those words, the monkey recovered and chased after them. It closed the distance in just a few seconds.
Melody actually misunderstood Clovis. It was precisely because he had felt the difference in their power that Clovis knew this was the best decision.
When Clovis swung his sword to block the proconsul’s fist once again, he surprisingly didn’t pour a lot of strength on that swing, causing him to be knocked down, or so they thought.
Clovis turned out to be expecting this kind of result and used his strong lower body to regain his balance and wave his blade once again.
"!!!" The Tier 3 monkey widened its eyes and hurriedly moved away, but the blade actually scratched its chest. Although the wound wasn’t so deep, it was still proof that Clovis could fight against this Tier 3 beast.
’What?’ Melody gasped inwardly. On the one hand, she was shocked by Clovis’s action and boldness. On the other hand, her eyes were glued to the sword that was capable of achieving such a feat.
His classified information and his fighting prowess made her realize that Clovis was much more monstrous compared to Jay and Kanaria. After seeing the possibility that Clovis showed, Melody said, "I’m going to change the route."
"Jay. Kill all the beasts around me, I will defeat that monkey." Clovis shouted.
Normally, Jay would complain, saying that he wanted to fight a Tier 3 beast. However, this order was different from the rest. It would determine their survival.
"You got it, Captain." Jay accepted it with a serious expression. "Though, Kanaria will be in trouble."
"I will be protecting her," said Melody while grabbing a grenade.
"Let’s go. We’ll kill this beast." Clovis smiled, feeling grateful that his teammates were so reliable.
The place Melody chose was a dead end with a tall building on its end. It was the perfect place for a fortress. Since there was no place to escape, they could focus on eliminating the enemies even if it meant destroying the buildings around them.
The proconsul was about to launch an attack again, but it stopped when it noticed the terrain. Since Clovis’s group was stuck here, they could overwhelm him with their numbers.
It suddenly positioned itself behind the rest of the beasts.
"Kanaria. Take a position." Clovis shouted before turning around.
"Got it." Kanaria rushed inside with her sniper rifle. Meanwhile, Melody stepped right in front of the entrance as the last guard who protected Kanaria.
Jay and Clovis were standing next to each other.
Seeing the incoming beasts, both of them moved forward.

*Roar!*
More than fifty beasts charged forward. Before they clashed, a grenade fell in the middle of them and exploded, blasting the beasts around it.
That was the opening that Jay needed. Jay increased his pace for a second and waved his sword.
*Ro—!*
*Roar!*
The beasts were sent flying by his swing. Jay even roared like a beast as he made a big swing, carrying all the strength he could muster.
"Ora! You motherfuckers!" Jay unleashed all his strength and blew away all the beasts to create a large path for Clovis.
As someone who ran behind him, Jay’s back looked big and reliable. And he couldn’t betray this trust.
The moment Jay swung for the fourth time, Clovis could see the path that led to the monkey. In that instant, he sped up and slipped through the crowd of beasts, making his way toward the monkey.
Seeing Clovis close in, the proconsul sent forth his fist to knock Clovis down. This time, it wouldn’t be fooled by Clovis’s fake anymore.
However, Clovis didn’t have any intention to avoid this clash.
There was one thing that he learned after his father’s lesson. The Star Method incorporated the image training he’d always done.
And after fighting the Tier 2 snake, he came to a realization as his grandfather’s voice echoed in his mind.
"If you don’t believe you can cut your opponent, you won’t be able to defeat them."
That was right. The key to the Star Method was believing it. Still, it wasn’t logical if that was the only thing he had to do.
What his grandfather meant by believing was to create a clear image of him cutting down his opponent. After that, he had to imagine how his muscles worked so that he could make a perfect swing. Then he had to unleash all that power in a single slash.
It might not be possible if he was only a Tier 0 human, but now that the world looked slower, he had more time to see that image.
Right before the fist landed on his face, Clovis waved his blade, striking the fist.
There was no waste movement because Clovis’s movement looked so fast. In just a split second, Clovis had passed the monkey.
*Aooo!* The monkey wailed in pain as blood splattered from his fist.
"My grandfather’s fist is far scarier."
