The proconsul was dumbstruck, finding that the three humans managed to kill all those beasts in a short period of time.
Its brain was processing what had happened as the monkey realized it was in danger.
This group was not normal. If it continued fighting them, there was a high chance that it would lose its life.
Without hesitation, the monkey turned around, preparing to leap into one of the buildings to escape.
However, Kanaria shot the monkey before it could escape, causing the monkey to stop. The bullet hit the monkey’s arm. The tough skin was able to stop a portion of the bullet’s momentum, but the bullet was still strong enough to pierce through and remain on the body instead of penetrating the arm.
At the same time, Clovis rushed toward the monkey. His arms were shaking because of his injury, but it didn’t matter. It was about time he eliminated this monkey.
Clovis swung both blades at the same time, trying to hit the monkey in two different spots.
The monkey had to choose which sword to block.
Because of the position, the monkey could only choose the short sword as it was the closest and easiest one to knock away.
So, without hesitation, the monkey punched the short sword.
Clovis didn’t blink even for a second as he changed the trajectory of his sword at the last moment. His aim wasn’t the entire fist, but the fingers.
His short sword struck them, cutting three out of five fingers before the impact of the fist knocked the sword away.
At the same time, Clovis swung the blade toward the monkey’s neck.
The monkey tried to spin its body to create momentum so that his fist could catch up to the blade, but it was too late. The blade reached its neck, but because of Clovis’s state, the power was much weaker than his normal swing.
The blade stopped after two centimeters inside.
At the same time, the monkey was about to punch him in the head.
Clovis raised his left hand to block it, but the monkey still packed a punch, causing his arm to get pushed to his head. Its force was still too strong to the point that he was about to fall.
"Kh!" Kanaria gritted her teeth, aiming for the monkey’s head. Even Melody was about to help Clovis.
"Stop!" Jay’s voice abruptly startled them as he remained standing still like he didn’t care about Clovis’s well-being. But if one took a closer look, Jay was crossing his arms. His grip was stronger than ever as if he wanted to tear this monkey apart.
It was just that he had to believe that his captain was able to defeat this proconsul. After all, Clovis said earlier that he would be the one taking care of this beast.
He believed that their captain was much stronger than this and could defeat that Tier 3 beast by himself. So, they shouldn’t interfere.
As Jay expected, Clovis stomped the ground at the last moment, stopping himself from falling.
After that, he pulled out the long blade.
The monkey tried to slam this blade to the ground, but Clovis skillfully avoided the fist and slid his sword onto the monkey’s arm, cutting the skin.
The monkey gritted its teeth. The pain had spread all over its body and the blood was flowing out at a rapid rate. It was already hard to stand like this.
However, it couldn’t afford to die. The monkey rammed its body toward Clovis.
Clovis held the sword on the handle and the end of the blade, blocking it at the last moment. But the monkey still pushed him back for several meters.
Before the proconsul gained an upper hand, Clovis took a step back and spun his body, looping around the monkey.
"!!!" The monkey lost its balance and almost tripped. Clovis used this change to hit the monkey’s back.
He cut two times, one horizontal slash from one side to another and one diagonal side that ran from the right shoulder to the left side.
Just like earlier, he was too weak to slash the monkey completely. If this continued, he might lose all his strength before the monkey died.
Clovis gritted his teeth. He wanted to leave another wound, but the monkey had turned around and slammed the sword to the ground.
Instead of stopping the fist, Clovis actually allowed the monkey to punch the sword down. However, the moment it touched the ground, Clovis kicked the monkey’s fist and slid his sword onto the ground as he spun his body.
Clovis used the centrifugal force to make one complete swing toward the monkey’s neck, this time seriously trying to cut it fully.
However, even with that force, Clovis only managed to penetrate one centimeter further, still not enough to kill the monkey.
The monkey was trying to grab the sword so that Clovis didn’t cut even further. But it soon got the shock of its life.
Clovis had been wielding the sword with one hand since he was a dual wielder. But at this moment, he actually held the sword with both hands.
’If one isn’t enough, I will use two.’ Out of desperation, this was the only thought in Clovis’s head as he compensated for the loss of his strength with quantity.
"Aaaahhh!" Clovis roared as he put more strength into both hands and completed his swing, sending the monkey’s head flying.
Jay stood there silently as if he had expected this result. Meanwhile, Melody and Kanaria dropped their jaws to the ground.
Kanaria had seen Clovis’s battles, but she couldn’t imagine that Clovis was able to defeat a Tier 3 beast by himself. And what was more shocking was that this proconsul was the territory lord of this city. Without their leader, it would be easy for the explorers to take down the rest of the beasts. And the one who made it possible was Clovis.
Meanwhile, Melody didn’t believe it because she never knew Clovis’s true identity. Her shock came in the form of doubt as she had never heard of someone this talented hiding in this city.
Nevertheless, the man who just defeated the Tier 3 beast was none other than their current captain, Clovis.
