Chapter 707: Cornering the Beast



Clovis' tough front was actually successful. With the beast's intelligence, it noticed that Clovis definitely had the strength to kill him. Of course, the beast didn't know that Clovis' strength was only for a limited time.

However, with what Clovis had shown so far, even little by little, the beast would definitely die.

This was the first time the beast panicked, knowing that his life was in danger.

It could attack Clovis, but their cooperation was on point. If they continued this clash, the beast would be the first one to fall.

Hence, the beast instinctively realized that it was going to die.

Even though its rationality remained only a little, it matched with what the instinct told its body. Run.

"!!!" The beast hurriedly turned around.

That weakness was exposed. Christina hurriedly activated her Provoke to the limit, binding the beast.

The beast was gritting its teeth. It was supposed to run away, but its body was trying to go toward Christina.

Meanwhile, Clovis, Jay, and Erwin had figured out what they were supposed to do.

With Christina stopping the beast's movement, they hurriedly surrounded the beast.

'The beast has finally known fear. It has realized it will die after fighting us. And this is the sign for us to unleash all our attacks!' Erwin grinned. He stepped forward and waved his hands, sending forth his wires.

On the other hand, Clovis and Jay approached him from opposite directions, forcing the beast to focus on one direction at a time.

Before it could think of anything, Christina slammed her shields at the beast's head, pushing the sliced nose, which gave an excruciating pain.

"Raaa!" The beast roared in pain. However, it needed to do something fast. Because Erwin wrapped his wires on the left front leg, the beast chose to focus on the left.

It waved its front foot to mess with Erwin's position before using that front leg to slap Jay.

"Kh!" Jay gritted his teeth, trying to withstand this attack. But the beast's attack became stronger and stronger.

This time, he couldn't withstand it even with the help of Erwin's wires.

In the end, he chose to give up. He lowered his legs and let the attack slide on his blade upward.

The ranged attack continued and hit a pillar and shattered it. Even though Jay had withstood a large portion of that attack before giving up, the residual power in that attack was still strong enough to take out a pillar.

If this beast attacked a single building by itself, it might have the strength to half destroy an entire floor. If it targeted the pillar, two or three strikes was what it needed to make a huge building crumble.

Nevertheless, the attack didn't hit them. In addition, Clovis had approached the beast from the right, taking advantage of its blind eye to reach the beast unharmed.

The beast was confused because it didn't feel any impact from the right side when Clovis was supposed to have attacked. To its surprise, there was also less resistance coming from Christina's shield.

But before it could blast away Christina to find Clovis, a sword penetrated its eyes, using the wound on its right eye as the gap to pierce the head.

"!!!" The beast's body shook.

What actually happened was Clovis putting his sword right in the gap. Then Christina actually pulled back and hammered it like a nail with her shield.

With less surface area, the penetrative force multiplied and allowed them to pierce the beast's head.

However, they failed to hit any vital organ, such as its brain.

As a result, the beast only froze for a second before letting out a huge roar and shaking off anyone near him.

*Bang!*

Christina received the attack with her shield, getting pushed back by several meters. Clovis, on the other hand, got kicked by the front leg and blew it away to a building.

"Kh…" Clovis clutching his abdomen. Blood leaking out of the corner of his lips. His sword was still stuck in the beast's eye, leaving him with only the short sword and the gun on his back.

Since pulling out that sword was too dangerous, Clovis just grabbed the pistol and chose a different approach.

On the other hand, Jay and Erwin exchanged looks and came to a tacit understanding.

The biggest wound they had dealt with so far was the one Clovis had just made. It was also close to the brain.

If they could widen that wound or take advantage of Clovis' sword to slice the inside of the beast's head, they had the chance to win.

There was not much time left for the boost from the food. Hence, they needed to do it in one way or another.

Jay and Erwin were the strongest in terms of pure physical strength, even more than Clovis with his Perfect State. After all, Clovis might get a Muscle Affinity with his Perfect State, but he had never trained his muscles like these two. So, if anyone could move that sword, it was Jay and Erwin.

That was why both of them agreed to switch roles with Clovis, whether he wanted it or not.

Clovis had created an opening, so it was time for them to deal the finishing blow.

After blasting the people around it, the beast hurriedly turned around to escape. As expected, Christina's reaction was quick, stopping the beast in its tracks.

Annoyed, the beast turned around and rammed its entire body's weight on Christina.

Christina was launched several meters away, her body bouncing on the ground several times before coming to a stop. If Christina was going to stop it again, then the beast chose to kill her first.

Clovis hurriedly shot the beast so as to distract it, but his pistol wasn't as powerful as Kanaria's sniper rifle, specifically the Soul Weapon. His bullet was nothing but a little flick for the beast. Hence, the beast ignored him.

However, as Clovis got closer and closer, the beast remembered what had happened earlier. There was a chance for Clovis to attack him by using the blind eye, so it hurriedly turned around, finding Clovis right before its eye.

Clovis swung his short sword while the beast kicked him. Clovis tried to avoid it, but the beast used the tail to slap Clovis' legs, forcing him to fall to his knees.

Then, the beast lifted up its leg and stomped him.

"Ah… shit."
