The next day, they met up in front of the gate, ready to take on the new challenge. For this journey, Clovis brought a vehicle. It was just a cheap car they could easily abandon. Because their destinations were far from any cities, Clovis planned to hide this car on the road. If it was stolen, he didn't care much. If it wasn't, they would bring it back to the city. They had some spare money, especially when the mayor gave them two hundred thousand union dollars in the first part. As usual, Jay was the one driving it. Clovis had taken some driving classes during his free time, but he wasn't reliable yet. Once they were near their destination, Jay went off the road and hid the car behind an abandoned gas station. It was a building made before the 'simulation' after all. Once they were done hiding it, Clovis brought all their equipment with them and abandoned the car. The first destination was a forest where Tier 3 Gastornia and Megaloceros resided. According to Ragna, there were several Tier 3 beasts in this forest. However, Clovis only wanted to take down the beasts that lived in the southern part and leave. This place wasn't their main destination after all. The forest was located 10 kilometers from the city. As the group reached the entrance of the forest, they gazed out at the towering trees that stretched as far as their eyes could see. The humidity was quite high as Clovis and the others could smell the rich earthy scent. "So we will be hunting in this place?" Jay smirked, feeling a bit excited. He could hear several roars echoing inside the forest. "Yes. We'll take it easy on the first day to get used to this new party. The next day, we'll kill as many beasts as possible as per usual and head to the next destination before dark." Kanaria nodded with a serious expression. "What if we meet the Tier 3 beasts?" Jay asked. "Is that so?" Clovis nodded. "Alright. Let's head out." The group agreed and immediately entered the forest. It didn't take too long for them to find a few beasts. "Let's go with the usual," said Clovis while taking off. Jay nodded and ran a bit slowly. "Huh?" Ragna noticed their speed and couldn't help but squint his eyes. "Aren't they—" Before he finished his words, the beasts noticed Clovis and Jay first and let out a roar, alerting the beasts nearby. The beasts responded to the roar with another and started heading toward them. "There are a lot of beasts... Are they perhaps..." Ragna frowned. Normally, they should take down their opponents as swiftly as possible so that they can't bring out reinforcements. However, Clovis and Jay actually did the opposite. Faced with a lot of incoming beasts, Clovis and Jay smiled and finally sped up. The six beasts in front of them were mostly Tier 0. The moment they clashed, Clovis waved both swords swiftly, cutting down one beast after another. On the other hand, Jay swung his saber and cut the beasts into half cleanly. "!!!" Ragna dropped his jaws to the ground. Even though the beasts were only Tier 0, Tier 1 humans still needed a few slashes to take them down. Clovis indeed hit each beast multiple times, but the execution time was so fast that it felt like he just swung once. After killing the six beasts, Clovis and Jay looked around. Both of them headed in the opposite direction. There were 12 beasts on the left and 23 beasts on the right. Considering their number, Melody created a path for Clovis to take down all those twelve beasts while Kanaria started aiming at the beasts on the right. "This is how we usually operate. Get ready, they're coming!"
