Another World Mall-Chapter 693: Run

"W-What?! What are you doing?" Christina asked, not expecting Clovis would do such a thing.

Clovis, on the other hand, muttered, "Melody. You focus on the vault. Try to make it as quickly as possible. We're going there right now.

"Jay, Kanaria, and Aileen are to retreat in an orderly manner. Open the map of the Essence Bank. We will use the size of the essence bank to stall them.

"Christina. Focus on the Tier 7 beast. We have no way of defeating it right now, but you're the only one who can follow it at ease and block its attack. If you're going to get blown away, do it in my direction. I will catch you and move according to my own plan.

"Right now, this battle is a battle between me and the Tier 7 beast," Clovis stated with a stern tone, as if telling them he wouldn't hear any objection.

Melody gulped down before making a resolute face. "Understood."

She immediately transmitted Clovis' order to those three.

"What?" Jay looked confused. Although he had been overwhelmed by the enemy's number, it hadn't reached the point where he couldn't retreat. That was why he didn't understand the reason Clovis gave that order.

On the other hand, Aileen returned to Kanaria's side in just thirty seconds.

"Kanaria." Aileen called her out loud.

"There's nothing to say. We'll proceed with Clovis' plan. I don't know what he is planning to do. It must be something reckless.

"Unlike anyone who does reckless things, he's someone who will do it by himself. In other words, our existence there will just hinder him. Instead, we should head straight to the Essence Bank and try to fortify it even further.

"He mentioned that we have to speed things up, so it means we will be entering a defensive position much earlier.

"Aileen. Cover for me. I will set up everything…" Kanaria stopped for a moment. "No. There's another place we have to visit."

"Another place? Didn't you say that we should go to the Essence Bank immediately?"

"Yes, but don't worry. This place is in the direction. And it's something that will help our plan." Kanaria nodded. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"I don't know what you mean, but I'm not here to argue with you. If it can help the team, then let's go."

Kanaria nodded. "Follow me."

Both of them immediately headed to the Essence Bank, but before that there was another place Kanaria had to visit. This was a military facility after all, so it should have that. Kanaria planned to use it to slow down these beasts.

Jay, on the other hand, looked a bit confused but really had no other choice but to comply.

Meanwhile, Clovis finally explained his plan after Christina decided to run alongside him, gathering all these beasts.

"The Tier 7 beast is focused on stealth and speed, so it's best to constantly be on the run and inside a building. This way, the beast has to destroy something if it wants to catch up to us.

"And if it's going straightforwardly, it will have to pass the horde of beasts behind us. Your Provoke ability is essential here.

"As long as we run around, we should be able to make enough time for Melody."

After listening to Clovis, she finally understood why Clovis had decided to break their formation right away.

If they stayed there for a bit longer, the Tier 7 beast would hide and once again aim for them. No. Since it was clever enough to trap them in this situation, it should be able to realize Kanaria and the others were a much more enticing target.

There was even a chance for the Tier 7 beast to hide inside the building.

Hence, Clovis immediately asked his group to retreat to the Essence Bank directly. This way, the Tier 7 beast couldn't catch up to them.

As a result, the Tier 7 beast would believe they were the easier target. All he had to do was mingle with the rest of the beasts and find a perfect opportunity to kill them.

Still, Clovis didn't have enough skill to completely grasp the opponent's presence this time. It might be because he had to focus on so many different things, but it didn't change the fact that he had a hard time.

That was why he wanted Christina to focus on the Tier 7 beast. She was the only one capable of stopping it.

Meanwhile, Clovis cut down one beast after another, ensuring Christina's protection. Even if he had to be injured in the process, he needed to take down all the beasts coming toward them.

Clovis kept an eye on the map because he had to be constantly on the run and ultimately reached the exit.

"Clovis. This is Kanaria. Jay and Aileen are already with me right now. We're waiting for you at the entrance," reported Kanaria while shooting down all the approaching beasts. "If you want to reach here, go to the previous exit. I have prepared a surprise there. It should be able to slow down the beasts to a certain extent."

"…" Clovis glanced at the map. "Got it."

Still, there was no way for the enemy to let them do whatever they wanted. The pursuit had become more aggressive.

More and more beasts threw themselves at Clovis. It was fine even if they died in the process, as long as they could stall Clovis for a second.

The moment the beasts were about to catch up, Christina suddenly shouted, " Watch out!"

Christina hurriedly shifted her position to Clovis' right while raising her arm.

"!!!" Clovis raised his eyebrows because a huge rhino suddenly emerged from the wall, crashing everything in its path.

She blocked the direct attack, but the momentum was unstoppable. In the end, both Clovis and Christina were blasted to the wall in the opposite direction, which ended up getting destroyed by the rhino again.

Bam!

"Kh!" Christina had a hard time stopping this Tier 5 rhino. More importantly, her instinct kicked in one more time. "Right!"

"!!!" Clovis raised both swords and swung them to the right as a clicking sound soon echoed in his ears as he saw the Tier 7 beast appearing once again before him. This time, it worked together with the rhino to pin them down here.
