"This is pretty successful," Melody muttered while looking at her back, seeing all those beasts. As long as she could keep this up, the Tier 3 beast should be injured heavily by the time she returned.
'I have dropped five radars. According to Clovis's prediction, those assassins will be trying to attack us at this time. We don't know what they're planning to do, but I need to prepare our escape route.
'Still, it would be better if Clovis is able to take down that Tier 3 beast. While it's strong, we have faced stronger foes.' Melody furrowed her eyebrows. 'The only problem will be how long we have left.@@@@
'Our current position is not looking good. In the north, there is a vast freshwater lake. In the west and south, there are hills. If we want to escape, it will be through the east. We don't have to climb the hill, which will increase our pace tremendously.
'The problem is... the enemies might have considered that too. That's why I have to set up all this so that we will know them earlier and Clovis will have more time to think about our next move.'
Melody fell silent while looking at the map. 'If those assassins are planning to attack, they will be leading the Tier 4 beast to this place. Even though our strength can defeat a Tier 3 beast, I don't think we're on the level where we can kill a Tier 4 beast. That's why the moment the Tier 4 beast appears, we'll retreat.'
Melody was convinced that the enemies would only bring Tier 4 beasts and a lot of beasts to surround them.
After making a tour for ten minutes, Melody finally finished onsetting up her equipment. With this, she could go back and check the progress. Fortunately, there was no problem in the other battlefields.
And due to the previous jamming experience, they were forced to say something on the radio to make sure that they were not jammed.
When Melody returned to the group, she was still chased by a lot of beasts. However, it didn't really matter anymore. Kanaria started peeling those enemies off of her. T
Melody could even start killing them one after another. After confirming the area was safe, Ragna also stepped forward and became an additional force to kill these beasts.
During the whole fight, Melody kept glancing at the Tier 3 beast, checking its condition.
It seemed that Clovis and Jay had made big progress. There were numerous wounds on the beast's body. Some were wide, some were small.
The bleeding was quite intense, but the beast's movement had yet to become sluggish. Still, it was just a matter of time.
If this continues, they should be able to kill this beast in another ten minutes.
The battle was longer than any Tier 3 beast so far, but this beast's quality was close to that of a Tier 4, except for that speed.
*Roar!*
A series of roars echoed, alerting the Tier 3 beast and Clovis's group.
Kanaria raised her head while Melody checked the map.
"They're coming." Kanaria muttered, seeing the beasts going down the hill. Melody confirmed it by stating, "Around forty beasts."
However, another series of roars startled them, this time coming from east.
Melody took a glance at both the map and the direction, finding something big in the distance.
"Isn't that..." Melody's expression turned grim. There was a big snake bulldozing all the trees before him. The snake was four meters tall and the length couldn't be determined yet. "The Tier 4 snake we're waiting for?"
"Don't panic. We have prepared a plan for this snake," Kanaria hurriedly said with a serious expression.
"Right?" Melody nodded before hearing yet another roar, but this time it came from the opposite direction.
"What? That's..." Kanaria sucked a cold breath. The beast wasn't as tall, but its ferocity surpassed any beasts around it. "Another Tier 3 beast?"
The surprise didn't end here.
*Scree!*
A loud shriek shook the battlefield as a giant dragonfly appeared on top of a hill.
"What the hell is that? A three meters tall insect? No, is it the insect from the Carboniferous period where the giant insect ruled?" Kanaria shuddered.
Melody looked at the map and saw more than four hundred beasts coming in their direction. And there were two Tier 3 beasts and one Tier 4 beast coming to this place.
She thought that only Tier 4 would be coming, but it seemed that she had underestimated what those assassins could do.
"We are... surrounded." Kanaria gulped down.
