"Eh?" In just a moment, Clovis felt like the road was so close to his face. His reflex kicked in, causing him to roll on the ground multiple times to soften the impact.
"Eh?" The people were confused as to what Clovis was doing there. Did he trip? But no one should be that foolish. There was no way he would kill himself like this.
"Who is that?" Unlike Ivan, Clovis wasn't that well known. So, most of them didn't recognize him.
Still, one of the Tier 2 humans that came from the Blossom team couldn't help but say, "Isn't that Clovis from the Libation Fiesta?"
"Eh? The young man who contributed a lot to this raid?"
"Did someone push him?"
"Who?"@@@@
The people were confused. From his achievement, there was no way Clovis would make such a simple mistake. Yet, everyone was so focused on the beast before that they didn't realize it.
However, the Tier 2 human on the same truck as him couldn't help but notice Clovis's previous position. Since he was suppressing the beasts with his gun, he positioned himself on the edge. On the other hand, the people who didn't have guns immediately moved to the opposite's corner so as not to mess with them.
That was why everything looked pretty clear as there was actually one person who didn't have the guns but stood in the middle of the compartment.
"Captain Nek... you..."
His voice couldn't help but echo in everyone's ears as they all looked at one single person.
...
Last night.
After seeing Clovis flirting with Kanaria, Ivan walked away from the group to meet a person.
"I want you to kill him."
She hurriedly stepped on the brake, causing the momentum to make all the people on the truck fall.
"What?!"
All of them panicked as Melody hurriedly came out of the vehicle.
"Oi, what are you doing?" The people sitting next to Melody were confused, but Melody simply shouted, "Are you insane? I'm not going to leave my captain behind!"
The same applies to the commander. As a Tier 4 commander, he had to take responsibility. He didn't know why it all happened, but if he let Clovis, the biggest contributor to this raid, die just like that, he couldn't imagine the damage.
He jumped off and said, "All of you can go. I will try to bring him out. It's easier for me to go alone!"
Clovis gritted his teeth while slashing the beasts on both sides. The other beasts approached him at a much faster speed, smacking his back and head.
"Kh!" Clovis endured the pain and rolled on the ground before standing back up. After that, he shot a few times while trying to make his escape.
When he heard Melody's voice, he hurriedly said, "Go, Melody. I will be fine."
"What's going on?" Kanaria's voice immediately echoed.
"Watch out!" Melody didn't respond to his words. Instead, she was warning him about what she saw.
Clovis raised his head as the beast that was about to hit him got stomped by the same beast that the commander fought earlier. In other words, the Tier 4 beast was right before him.
"Oh shit." Clovis raised both swords, trying to block the beast's sweep.
However, it was so powerful that the sweep launched him into the wall of the building on the side. Clovis never had a chance against a Tier 4 beast like this.
"You!" The commander roared while jumping into the air, kicking the beast away.
"Clovis! Respond to me!" Melody panicked. She didn't want Clovis to die.
"This is Clovis. Leave without me. Bring my teammates away if it means you have to knock them out!" Clovis made the announcement on the radio.
