The roar startled even Clovis. While he didn't mind fighting against the Tier 2 beast, there were several problems. First of all, he was injured. And the second problem was that the beasts here were much stronger than normal beasts.
He had to assume that fighting this Tier 2 beast would be the same as fighting against a normal Tier 3 beast.
Jay didn't care about this. He didn't hesitate to advance, planning to kill the Tier 2 beast by himself.@@@@
However, Clovis shouted, "Jay. Together!"
"..." Jay didn't reply to him, but he dropped his pace, allowing Clovis to catch up.
After that, they increased their speed together, killing one beast after another while approaching the ape on the back.
The ape didn't seem to be pleased with their actions. Before the two could cut down all the beasts around here, the ape rushed forth and appeared before Jay.
Jay stomped the ground and swung his sword. To his surprise, the ape did the same. It stomped the ground and even cracked it before punching the sword with the entire strength of its upper body.
*Bam!* Their clash actually resulted in Jay's defeat. He even had to use both of his hands to barely stop the punch.
"!!!" Jay was quite surprised. Even though he didn't push his muscles to the limit, his strength should still be enough to fight against a colossal Tier 3 beast. Yet, this beast actually fought like a human and knew what to do to get a surge of strength like him.
The ape shocked him once again when the other hand swept in the opposite direction. Jay had to change his stance and block this fist with the blade's body.
However, due to that little shift, his lower body wasn't solid enough, causing him to be blown to the side.
At the same time, Clovis appeared behind the ape and struck its back multiple times, leaving as many wounds as he could.
*Roar!*
The ape looked angry, but Clovis hurriedly attacked his right arm in order to stop him from doing anything to Jay. It also provided Jay a good opportunity to close in and strike the ape in the chest, leaving a big and deep wound.
The other beasts turned around, trying to save the ape. Unfortunately for them, they only became prey to Kanaria and Melody's bullets.
Clovis only took a glance at them to ensure everything was going well. After stopping the right arm, he approached him from that direction and took advantage of the eye he blinded earlier to stab the short sword near the ape's head.
Unfortunately, he missed the target and hit his jaw instead.
The ape struggled for one last time, shaking everything on its body. And it was lucky enough to actually hit Clovis in the process, blowing him away.
Still, it didn't change its fate. Once the ape calmed down, Jay came from the opposite side and severed his head.
The ape eye was glaring at Jay before the head dropped to the ground.
The ape was indeed abnormal to possess such strength while being a Tier 2 beast. Sadly, they didn't have time to analyze the ape's strength as both of them had to eliminate the remaining beast that Kanaria and Melody struggled with.
It only took another five minutes before they killed the remaining beasts. Clovis immediately dropped on his butt after killing all the beasts, saying, "What the hell are these beasts? No, should we just call them monsters at this point?"
Kanaria rolled her eyes. "You look monstrous enough for other humans, you know."
"..." Clovis smiled wryly. He knew that he wasn't one to talk, considering he was a Tier 1 fighter who could kill a Tier 3 beast.
"Can you guys gather the essence? I'm going to check my injury for a bit." Clovis pointed at the corpses. "We'll just camp here for today before trying to climb it again tomorrow."
