'Fast? How can he be so fast?' Ragna gasped, never thinking that such a thing would be possible. Clovis was exhibiting a speed faster than even a Tier 3 human. And they even said Clovis's evolution progress was actually the lowest in the group. However, there was one question that appeared in his mind. Since Clovis was so strong, why didn't he just go as a mercenary or even train solo? With this, he could be able to get a lot of money for himself instead of giving money to his teammates and investing in the group. In addition, with how fast he was, he could easily escape from the beasts without worrying about others. Even if he wanted to get someone's help, an operator was all he needed. It didn't have to be a mobile operator. Clovis paid no attention to his shock. Now that he didn't have to protect Kanaria and Melody, he could go all out. Once he reached the terror bird, the latter spread its wings and waved them toward him, creating a powerful gale. Clovis hurriedly leaped to the side and cut down two beasts in his way before looping around the bird. Shocked, the bird chased after him and extended its head. Clovis waved his blade in the opposite direction, trying to slash the bird's neck. However, the bird only needed to tilt its head to the sides in rapid succession, knocking the two swords away. "!!!" Clovis raised his eyebrows, not expecting the bird to have this kind of strength just by moving its beak. In addition, there were three beasts approaching him from behind. Clovis had no choice but to spin his body and use the momentum to strike these beasts. The terror bird saw this as an opportunity and rammed its beak at Clovis's back. As if knowing what the bird was doing, Clovis slightly tilted his body, causing the beak to actually hit the metallic armband connected to his short sword. Using the inspiration Ragna showed him last night, Clovis allowed the beak to slide off the armband, missing him completely. Still, it was pretty hurt and because of the attack, he had a hard time stabilizing his posture, which resulted in him being unable to attack the bird even though there was a big opportunity in front of him. The beasts also did the same, but because the terror bird could absolutely not allow Clovis to leave, it just pushed away all the beasts in front of him and reached Clovis. It spread its wings, trying to capture him. Clovis couldn't help but smile and shift his direction back to the bird. He closed the gap between them and struck the bird's body multiple times. *Reeeee!* The bird was wailing in pain, but the wings still moved toward each other to capture Clovis. Clovis swiftly hit the body, especially the joint connecting to its wings. *Reee!* The bird was screaming in pain, but the wings didn't show any sign of stopping. 'Too shallow, huh?' Clovis muttered. He wanted to thrust the chest, but he didn't know which one would be fatal to this bird. He could aim for the neck, which would be an easier target, but the beak was long and sturdy, so it would be parried. Clovis had no other choice but to toss the short sword into the air. Fortunately, they were fighting in the forest. The short sword circled around the branch as Clovis jumped into the air before he got captured. The bird would have been able to capture him if it had hands instead of wings. Still, the other beasts leaped into the air and tried to chase after him, but Clovis managed to kick every single one of them away due to his vision. He pulled himself up and stood on the branch while staring at the entire situation. Fortunately, the beasts were fully focused on him, so he didn't have to worry about them going to Kanaria and the others. In that case, there was only one thing to do. Since the beasts had gathered around him, the only thing he needed to do was reduce their number. Hence, he leaped to the top of the biggest beast among them. As he expected, the other beasts immediately tried to climb this beast, putting a smile on his face.
