"He really did it." Melody sucked a cold breath. "A Tier 1 human defeating a Tier 3 beast, huh? The proconsul underestimated him at first, but it didn't change the fact that he managed to kill that beast. And what was that atmosphere earlier... It felt like he changed for a while." Melody let out a sigh. No matter how curious she was, she was too lazy to find out the truth. "Clovis!" Suddenly, Kanaria's voice echoed in everyone's ears. Clovis actually fell to his knees as his hands were shaking uncontrollably. While panting, Clovis said, "Get the essence of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 beasts before getting away from here. We don't have a lot of time before the rest of the beasts catch up." "But you..." Kanaria was worried about him, while Melody grabbed his hand and lifted him up on her shoulder. "I will take care of him." Kanaria wanted to say something, but considering Melody was the one finding the route, it was better if she left with Clovis first. Kanaria glanced at Jay and said, "You should go too, Jay. I'll take care of the rest." Jay nodded. However, he didn't walk away completely. He followed Melody for a while and stopped so that he wasn't too far away to help Kanaria in case of an emergency.@@@@ They actually entered the building and broke the window to move to the other side, using these buildings as a wall to hide from the beasts. Meanwhile, Kanaria gathered the essence of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 beasts. There were only two beasts in total, so it didn't take too long. While waiting for the essence to be filled, Kanaria was looking around. She could hear the series of roars that the beast wave produced, but it was still far enough from her. But she felt something weird happening on the horizon. "Hmm? Are my eyes playing with me?" Kanaria squinted her eyes. She could see a stick, probably an antenna or something, moving from its spot. "!!!" The moment she realized what happened, she hurriedly picked up her sniper rifle, aiming at this stick. Unfortunately, the scope wasn't big enough to see this person's face, but she was sure that this stick was actually a human. She had two options. First, she took a look with binoculars, hoping that it was enough to see this person's face. Or the second option was to shoot right away even if the probability of missing was high due to the distance. And Melody was watching their every movement through the radar. "It seems that they are pretty confused right now. The Tier 3 beast's essence should fetch pretty high. There is also a mission to kill that proconsul, so we can also get the reward from the city itself," said Melody with a calm expression. Jay and Kanaria were looking at Melody dumbfoundedly, while Clovis asked, "Are you not going to ask about it?" Melody shrugged. "A mission is always full of dangers. It's as simple as that. Though, I have to increase my rate accordingly." There was one reason why Kanaria sounded so confident. Even though she had joined them, she had erased all kinds of information that would lead to them. The only thing others knew would be them bringing a certain 'operator' with them and returning safely. There would be no mention of her. If Melody revealed this card, Clovis and the others could use it to their advantage to threaten her. On the other hand, Clovis offered, "15,000 per day. Along with the initial agreement regarding the reward of the mission, including the mission to kill the overlord of the Severend City. What do you think?" With this alone, she should have no problem earning a hundred thousand. After some contemplation, she asked a question before agreeing to this arrangement. "Are you still planning to kill the initial target?" "Yes." "In your condition?" "I'm just tired. I can still wield my weapon even with this injury. Besides, Jay will become the main vanguard this time. Because of what happened earlier, I'm thinking about completing the mission as soon as possible and retreating to avoid any further conflicts." Melody nodded her head. "Alright. You've got a deal. I'll assist you guys as a mobile operator if you want to kill the initial target quickly." Clovis looked at Melody with a solemn expression as though he were thinking about something. Melody furrowed her eyebrows, feeling a bit uncomfortable with that stare. "What?" "Melody. Do you want to join our group?"
