A moment ago.
Elina couldn't help but look at Clovis's group with a cold expression.
"There is nothing here."
"This place is clear."
The people in Ivan's group were trying to locate the enemies before they heard a gunshot coming from the outside.
*Bang!*
All of them couldn't help but look up, trying to find the source of the sound. It might be an emergency. At the very least, Ivan's group knew that they shouldn't release a shot so early.
"What happened?" Ivan asked out loud while coming out of the building. However, he didn't find anyone.
"Is there something wrong?" Elina's head popped out of the window on the second floor.
"Did you hear the gunshot earlier? I feel like the sound comes from the outside..." Ivan asked while furrowing his eyebrows.
"I'm not sure." Elina shook her head helplessly. "Did the other party use it? I heard it came from a lower elevation..."
"I did too." Ivan furrowed his eyebrows, contemplating. "The situation might not be good after this gunshot."
"Well, I can't really say anything. Our group doesn't have any gunners, so it's probably from the other party."
"Let's regroup first. The situation will definitely change after this."@@@@
"Yeah. We should check on everyone's status. I'll go down." Elina nodded and went back in. What Ivan didn't know was that there was a gun producing a thin smoke from its muzzle. The gun had been thrown to the side as if it had been abandoned.
Elina simply walked away from the room and closed the door so that no one would bother to come.
As expected, Ivan immediately faced a dilemma after regrouping with his group. On the one hand, he was supposed to go right and help Clovis. On the other hand, he hated this option and just wanted to go to the other side.
Ivan clicked his tongue, especially when he saw numerous beasts coming in their direction.
"We don't have to help them," said Elina with a cold tone.
"That's right. They are annoying. We should just let them die." Another girl snorted.
Ivan bit his lips as if he were trying to make a difficult decision. In the end, he said, "We will help them. If they get overrun here, the entire situation will crumble. Besides, this is the exact reason why we're stationed here."
Most of them looked like they didn't want to do it. Only Vina didn't mind helping them, considering she had witnessed Clovis's prowess personally. However, none of them knew about it since, just like Clovis, the government had asked her to stay quiet.
"Let's go!" Ivan shouted while rushing to Clovis, noticing that only Clovis was standing in the middle of the road. Melody was protecting the building on the side and Kanaria must be inside that building. Jay, on the other hand, was completely gone.
At the same time, they heard multiple roars coming from the other block, making them realize that Jay was taking care of them by himself.
Clovis couldn't help but turn around. Since the beasts hadn't reached his position yet, he immediately shouted, "Oi! Your group should reinforce the two teams on the left side."
"Who are you to order me? Do you think you are so great that you can handle all these beasts?" Ivan gritted his teeth.
Clovis had expected this kind of reaction, so he didn't bother with them anymore. He turned back and charged at the beasts.
"Is he going to fight all those beasts by himself?" One of them couldn't help but gasp, not believing what they saw.
Elina's expression turned grim, observing Clovis's strength.
Melody was processing everything through her device, creating the route for Clovis and warning him in case a beast passed him.
Clovis took a deep breath when he was about to reach the beasts. The world immediately slowed down, making him able to grasp everyone's movements.
Clovis waved his blade from below, slashed the beast before him, and took a step to the right to avoid the body's momentum. After that, he leaped to the left and sliced the beast's head. Then, he threw his short sword, impaled another beast's head, and pulled it toward him, causing another beast to trip. In that instant, Clovis took the chance to behead the fourth beast.
His movement was so smooth that before they realized it, Clovis had actually killed four beasts.
