Another World Mall

Clovis took advantage of it to hit the beast's face.

The beast used the arm to block the incoming attack, but surprisingly, both Jay and Erwin came in. Erwin wrapped its arm with his wires and pulled it down. Jay struck the arm down, opening a path for Clovis.

The beast closed its eyes, albeit it was too late. The eyelids were strong enough to block Clovis' attack from blinding him, but Clovis' speed was simply too fast. Before it could close its eyes, Clovis had already struck the right eye.

Unfortunately, the left eye was already closed when his blade arrived.

"Raaa!" The beast spun its body and pushed all of them away. Its right eye remained closed as blood came out of it.

Once the beast lost one eye, a lot of possibilities instantly appeared. There would be a constant blind spot on its right.

Without saying anything, Clovis and the others agreed to take down the beast from the right.

Christina first raised her Provoke to the limit while going forward. Jay and Clovis charged toward Christina while Erwin maintained his distance, watching for another opportunity.

Because the right side had become its blind spot, the beast ignored the Provoke and struck Jay, who was located on its right.

Christina actually switched her Provoke to its legs. Once it focused too much on the right, its balance shifted in that direction, allowing her to go to the other side and make the beast trip.

"!!!" The beast was stunned. It hurriedly waved its claws toward Clovis, who was approaching it.

It was Clovis' turn because the claws actually hit him when they weren't in contact with his blade. He got pushed back for several meters and his upper right arm got scratched.

"…" Clovis abandoned his approach and checked the wound with a glance before warning them, "Jay. It can do a ranged attack. Be careful. It seems to have gotten stronger as well. It might continue getting stronger in exchange for its sanity, like me."

Jay nodded. They didn't have a change of plan, but this information changed their way of approaching this beast.

The beast let out a high-pitched wail before waving his claws toward Jay.

Christina used her unique ability to force the beast to attack her instead. This ranged attack hit her shield directly, blowing her away.

Still, Jay saw the small gap to reach the beast. Erwin helped Christina while Jay struck the beast from above.

Clovis wanted to give the additional power to injure the beast, but the latter actually lifted up its body and stood on two feet for a second before waving its claws in all directions.

"Watch out!" Clovis warned them out loud.

Clovis and Jay put their blades in front, while Erwin created a net between his fingers while using the spider legs to give additional power.

"Kh." Clovis managed to stop it, but Jay saw his blade getting chipped in the spot it hit. Erwin had two of his spider legs sliced by the ranged attack.

"It's going berserk." Christina gritted her teeth. She finally returned to the battlefield. "There is no more beast around this guy, so it must have not cared about everything else anymore and focused on using its strongest power to kill us."

Clovis' expression turned grim. He, too, was experiencing the same thing. Although he managed to remain sane for the time being, he would go berserk soon.

With no other choice left, Clovis rushed to the beast. The beast reacted to his killing intent.

When Christina was about to activate her Provoke, Clovis actually shouted, "Don't!"

"!!!" Christina widened her eyes.

Because she didn't activate her unique ability, the beast waved his claws several times at Clovis.

Among the four of them, only Clovis had the speed and mastery to avoid all these attacks. That was why he asked her to save her power for another opportunity.

Clovis avoided the attack skillfully, which startled the beast. He leaped toward the beast, closing the gap between them.

The beast raised both arms and slammed him down. He positioned his claws perfectly so that it would launch a ranged attack in all directions.

Clovis saw through his intention and halted his step while raising both swords. He actually chose to take this attack head-on.

He didn't get pushed back immediately, showing that he had more strength than Christina. However, the beast actually smacked him from the side by simply spinning its body and using its tail.

Clovis smiled. After all, Jay understood it perfectly. The moment the beast focused on him, Jay had been closing in.

By the time the beast spun its body to smack Clovis, his face had turned to Jay and found him right before him. The problem was that the beast spun clockwise, which meant his right eye couldn't see Jay and he had to wait for the left eye to find Jay.

That was why Clovis let his guard down, specifically on his right side. He was baiting for the beast to come from that direction.

Jay struck the beast's nose with every bit of his strength.

"Haaa…" Jay shouted, but even with his strength, it wasn't enough.

The beast saw how ineffective Jay's attack was and tried to catch him, but Christina activated her Provoke at this time, stopping the beast's movement for a second.

Erwin leaped toward Jay and kicked the back of his sword. "You seem to need me, eh?"

*Bang!*

The blade slashed through the nose, rendering it ineffective. Jay tried to make it as deep as possible, cutting the nose in two.

Even though the beast was in pain, there was no better time than this to kill these two annoying humans. It endured the pain and caught Jay and Erwin.

Erwin had been prepared. He put his hand on Jay's back and clutched the other hand to tighten the wire, which bailed them out before the beast's hands could catch them.

Clovis coughed up blood. "Even if the beast has a tough skin, we have numbers. We will cut its nose, ears, and all other body parts first."

Of course, that was a lie. They didn't have that much time. Clovis just wanted to put up a tough front so that the beast misunderstood their confidence.
