Another World Mall

"Sir!" A soldier suddenly rushed to the Sword Saint, who had been waiting for Clovis and the others behind a building so that he wouldn’t be spotted.

The soldier reported, "We’ve got a situation. We’ve just received information that the Libation Fiesta has exited the tower."

"What? They have left... Wait, don’t tell me..." The Sword Saint gasped.

"Y-Yes, sir. This report came from the base on the surface."

There were a lot of questions in the Sword Saint’s mind.

Did they know he was in this base? Who was the traitor? Did they simply change their strategy without knowing anything about his presence?

However, there was no answer that came to his mind. The only thing he knew was that the Libation Fiesta had made its escape.

His job was to make sure that the Libation Fiesta didn’t get away.

"Fuck!" The Sword Saint cursed before rushing toward the tower. "Move! All of you!"

The soldiers were startled, not knowing what was going on. Those who had received the report knew why the Sword Saint had entered the tower. In other words, this was their time to head into the tower as well.

As soon as they regained their composure, the officers shouted, "Follow him! The Libation Fiesta are making their escape. Chase after them!"

The soldiers started climbing the tower, but there was one more flaw in their strategy. They needed to climb down on foot, meaning climbing a few hundred meters while carrying their equipment.

Even though their bodies had been enhanced by essence, it was still an arduous task. Their stamina would be drained quite a lot just by climbing the tower alone. By the time they reached the surface, the Libation Fiesta might have gone away.

...

Meanwhile, the people on the surface were shocked by what Jay had just achieved.

"!!!" Even the members of the Libation Fiesta couldn’t believe what they had just seen.

Jay actually took down a Tier 8 human in a single exchange. Granted, the Tier 8 human must have expected that Jay would be the one getting knocked over, so he didn’t manage to react in time, but it was still surprising how big the difference was.

Of course, Jay knew that this victory was simply because the other party couldn’t even unleash his full power. If he didn’t underestimate him, he would be able to hold Jay back for a while.

But because of that blunder, Jay managed to take him down in an instant.

Still, most of them realized that the biggest reason Jay could win was his blade.

His weapon could be considered a Tier 10 weapon. He used all his strength to cut down the enemy’s weapon.

Without that weapon, Jay wouldn’t be able to win so easily. Nevertheless, they managed to open the path.

The members said nothing despite their surprise. They simply continued running, defeating anyone in their path until they managed to get out of the base.

Meanwhile, Clovis’ group started to break their formation and retreat, using the path that Jay’s group had created.

They moved swiftly. Even under barrages of attacks, they managed to leave the base.

That single attack from Clovis simply destroyed all their plans.

However, the country had prepared a few plans.

Clovis managed to get away at first, but a few attack helicopters and a few fighter jets had been sent toward them.

"Chase after them." The soldiers shouted, but for some reason, they maintained a certain distance from him.

"Is it coming?" Clovis narrowed his eyes.

"Clovis. We’re in danger!" Melody shouted, updating the route. Even the map from the travel service indicated the danger.

"!!!" Clovis suddenly turned around and shouted, "Jay! Go to the rear!"

Jay was confused, but he didn’t hesitate. He was ready for whatever Clovis wanted.

As soon as he reached the rear, he finally found out what was going on.

Two fighter jets were approaching them at high speed, launching their respective missiles.

Both Clovis and Jay swung their blades at the same time, using their full power to extend the blades to the limit.

The sword strikes ultimately reached the missiles, which went in a straight line. Both missiles split into two before exploding.

Boom!

Boom!

In addition, Angelia had drawn her bow and shot at the fighter jet, but her arrow missed.

"Tsk." Angelia clicked her tongue. Her arrow was faster than a normal bullet, yet it was still too low to catch a fighter jet. Still, she barely missed. One of the fighter jets swayed left and right as if the arrow affected the air pressure in its path.

"What?"

"They really managed to take down missiles."

"Tier 8..."

The soldiers who had been keeping their distance were stunned and scared at the same time. How should they fight against these monsters?

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, three attack helicopters arrived.

"!!!" Clovis raised his vision. "As expected, they’re going all out this time."

All the helicopters were ready to release everything they had, but before they could reach the Libation Fiesta, Clovis shouted at the top of his lungs. "REA!"

A shadow suddenly emerged from the nearby woods and flew at fast speed.

"Wolf 3!" A pilot noticed the incoming Rea and tried to warn the other pilot, but it was too late.

Rea’s emergence was too fast and too sudden. She flipped her body in the air and grabbed the helicopter from below before spreading her wings, using the pressure generated from them to flip their positions. As a result, the helicopter was flying upside down.

She used her beak to destroy the cockpit before flying away as the helicopter fell to the ground and exploded.

"Wolf 3 is down!"

"You bastard!"

The two helicopters tried to attack Rea, but the latter flapped her wings, using the Beast Soul to generate a powerful gale that caused the helicopters to sway left and right, having a hard time controlling their positions.

One of them became prey to Angelia’s arrow. The arrow tore apart the helicopter. It fell and blew up.

Rin and Kanaria shot the other helicopter, taking it down as well.

The soldiers gasped. They never thought that three of their helicopters would be taken down so easily.

One soldier sucked in a cold breath, muttering, "Is this... the power of the Libation Fiesta?"
