Another World Mall

Clovis took a deep breath.

"Are you guys ready?" He asked, looking at his teammates.

They nodded with a serious expression.

Aileen had been monitoring the situation and reported, "It does look like a lot of powerful fighters have gathered. From what I can see, there are at least three Tier 8 humans here. I’m assuming there are more, hidden or in rotation."

"Our job here is to get out, so we will go all out the moment we leave this tower." Clovis turned to Melody.

Melody nodded. "I’ve updated the route. There should be no traps on this route."

Clovis turned to Jay. "If we are in an unfavorable situation, you will lead the team, Jay. Focus on escaping. Melody, you are to be his assistant."

"Are you planning to hold the rear?" Kanaria frowned.

"Yeah. I won’t be alone. Aileen and Christina will go with me. In the worst-case scenario, we will use Another World Mall to escape."

"Ah, the tickets." Kanaria almost forgot about it. All this time, they had been using Another World Mall to enjoy the services it provided.

However, Another World Mall could be used this way. In fact, Clovis used to do something like this once.

When he got kicked out of that truck and had to survive, he escaped to Another World Mall to survive.

So, this strategy was viable. As long as the enemies didn’t know the concept, they would be completely fooled.

Christina and Aileen knew why they had been chosen. Aileen was good at assassination and scouting, so she was definitely necessary. Christina was their strongest defender, so she could make the team stable or buy enough time.

Jay, on the other hand, had to act as the vice captain and led the team to safety.

Since everyone had understood, Clovis nodded to them. "All right. Now that we are all ready, let’s begin."

Aileen erased her presence as Christina and Ragna followed Clovis.

Although this would be cruel, Clovis had no choice but to use one decisive move to destroy the blockade.

That was why he gripped his sword tightly, charging his momentum. His killing intent soared as he activated the Abyss State.

"Let’s begin!"

Clovis and Aileen leaped out of the tower at the same time.

The soldiers who had been waiting at the entrance widened their eyes.

They instinctively raised their weapons while shouting, "Enemies!"

However, their mouth might be fast, but their body should have been faster.

After all, Clovis drew his blade.

Beast Manifestation Technique, Roar of the King.

A roar shook the base as Clovis’ slash expanded long and wide.

He cut down eight people in front of the entrances, crushed the wall, and hit many more people, buildings, and vehicles behind it.

Bam!

A single slash turned their blockade into a horrifying situation.

Blood spurted all over the place as more than eight people died in a single place.

"Eh?" Those who were far away or survived widened their eyes in shock. "What happened?"

There was a reason why no one wanted to fight a Tier 9 human. Even though Clovis’ strength had yet to reach Tier 9, he had far surpassed a normal Tier 8 human.

A single slash expanded in a fan-shaped area, cutting everything within a hundred-meter radius. He packed much more power and turned it into a robust slash because he wanted to destroy the building.

Because of that change, fewer people died, but the sight itself was nothing less than terrifying.

The alarm immediately rang, and the soldiers started gathering, but they ended up finding a terrifying sight in front of them.

"Aaaaahhhh!" One Tier 8 human leaped into the air and swung down his blade, trying to kill Clovis. His eyes were bloodshot as though he wanted to avenge all the soldiers that had just died, thinking that Clovis was a monster.

Even Clovis didn’t like what he was doing, but this was the only way to survive.

However, he suddenly sensed a threat coming from the right. This threat appeared out of nowhere, attacking him at the last moment. This way, he couldn’t even twist his body to block it.

The next thing he realized, his arms had been cut.

Clovis managed to block the shock wave that came from the club and slashed the man once he reached him.

"Kill him!" The soldiers who had gathered shouted, unleashing everything they had.

At this time, Ragna and Christina went to the front, ensuring that they had cover. They took the hit carefully.

After that, Kanaria, Rin, and Angelia came out, providing cover fire. Kanaria and Rin shot like cannons. They blasted everything in the area, allowing a gap in their defense.

However, Angelia’s arrow was on a whole new level. The moment it was unleashed, it acted like a missile, destroying everything in its path.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

"Aaahhh!" People were knocked away or died. Seeing this opportunity, Jay led the rest of the team and followed the path that Melody had provided.

"Don’t let them get away!" Some soldiers noticed them and tried to stop them, but Aileen appeared behind them, sending their heads flying.

Clovis also sent out a few more swings to prevent them from being able to do anything.

However, the direction still had many enemies.

"Stop!" One Tier 8 human tried to ambush them.

To his surprise, Jay stepped forward as if he were waiting for him. He slashed downward, causing the enemy to raise his great sword to block it. He was confident in his strength, so he intended to knock Jay’s blade away.

"Haaaaa!" The guy roared, unleashing 120% of his power.

Yet Jay remained silent. In fact, even with 120% of his power, he couldn’t even make Jay’s sword budge.

"What?!" The guy was startled. No, it was even more surprising because Jay suddenly overpowered him. "What is this? A Tier 7 human... Kh..."

"Haaaa!" He tried to push Jay away, but to no avail.

Jay gripped his sword tightly and applied more power, cutting the man’s sword as well as his body.

"W-Wha—" The man couldn’t do anything other than widen his eyes as his vision dropped to the ground.
