The previous night, Ivan left the camp to meet someone.
"Yes. I want you to kill him. You're able to do it, right?" Ivan's expression was cold.
"If it's a frontal fight, I can probably do that. But it's going to be hard in the current situation… The least I can do is let the beast escape toward him."
"Then, at least bring a Tier 3 beast toward him. I want him dead!" Ivan gritted his teeth. He wanted to make sure Clovis died in this place.
"Alright." The man nodded, agreeing with him.
Ivan couldn't help but remember this conversation after listening to the report on the radio. Even if Clovis were quite strong, it would be impossible for him to fight against two Tier 3 beasts.
If these two beasts were still not enough, he would be so tired that he couldn't fight anymore.
Ivan's expression was cold as he thought, 'You've been in my way this whole time. If not for you, I don't have to endure all the humiliation and Kanaria would have been by my side.'
"What's wrong, Ivan?" Vina couldn't help but ask, noticing a change in his expression.
"Nothing." Ivan snorted, feeling that Vina had been quite different after that defeat. It looked like she was leaning more toward Clovis than him, especially during the previous day when she helped Clovis.
Elina obviously noticed the scheme that Ivan had, but she couldn't help but think, 'As expected, all his talent goes to his evolution rate instead of his brain. Either way, this is going perfectly for us as well. If we can kill him, the Drake Group will definitely become much more powerful.
'Even if this little bastard has star syndrome, he is easy to manipulate. No one can challenge the Drake Group in the future when he manages to grow.' Elina snorted, not saying anything to Ivan.
Meanwhile, Clovis and the others were luring the two Tier 3 beasts carefully.
The rhino kept destroying the buildings around them. Even though Clovis had the necklace that increased his speed, the Tier 3 rhino easily caught up to him. So, Clovis had no choice but to let the rhino hit the building instead. Of course, Clovis kept hitting the beast with a pistol or his short sword to make the rhino think he was trying to take him down.
The rhino fell for this trick and thought Clovis wanted to bury him alive, not realizing that the building wasn't enough to crush him.
Melody, on the other hand, followed them from behind as she didn't want to get the rhino's attention.
At the same time, she also made sure that the andrewsarchus didn't mess up their position since the rhino crashed into the building multiple times, making it slower than Jay and the andrewsarchus who ran in a straight line.
Kanaria, who was at the very back, looked at the map, making sure that they headed toward the laboratory.
However, they were soon distracted by the battle that happened a few blocks from them.
The destruction it caused wasn't any less than that of the rhino.
Clovis couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows, glancing to the side.
*Roar!* The beast let out a thunderous roar while leaping to the top of the building. It was big enough for Clovis to see it even far away as long as his vision wasn't blocked by a tall building.
In addition, the Tier 4 commander leaped into the air to chase after the beast.
The commander swung his big sword while the beast parried it with its claws, their exchange produced a powerful shock wave that shattered the window near them.
The Tier 4 commander easily leaped to the roof of another building while the Tier 4 beast landed on the ground. They then once again clashed with each other, showing their own strength.
Even though it was only for a brief moment, Clovis could see the strength of a Tier 4 human and beast.
'They are strong.' Clovis's expression turned serious. He had noticed this, but there seemed to be a big gap between Tier 3 and Tier 4.
Considering his father told them that the Star Method could be developed after Tier 3, it seemed that this was the reason.
Clovis realized how lucky he was to be able to develop that power from Tier 1. When he reached Tier 4, he would be able to become much stronger than them.
'A Tier 4 human can leap more than ten meters. The commander probably has Muscle Affinity, so his swing is much more powerful… But from the looks of it, that swing of his could easily destroy a building after a few strikes.
'Kanaria told me about the power of Tier 4 with Brain Affinity, which allowed them to see everything around them without even using their eyes. So, what about the Heart, Blood, and Bones affinities?'
Clovis was extremely curious about the future. Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything but wait until he himself was able to reach that stage.
'I have to become Tier 2 as soon as possible.' Clovis's expression turned serious, knowing what he had to do in order to go against the people who wanted his life. It was no wonder why his father wanted him to reach Tier 5 first before their reunion. At that stage, he should have some means to preserve his life even if their true enemies tried to kill them directly.
Clovis couldn't help but smile. The Another World Mall would allow him to achieve this and he planned to advance as fast as possible, thinking that the Another World Mall would disappear tomorrow.
And to reach his goal, he first had to eliminate the two Tier 3 beasts before them.
Suddenly, Melody passed him as if she noticed something. From the radar, it looked like there were still some beasts that lingered in the area, so she probably wanted to eliminate them before they regrouped with the Tier 3 beasts.
However, Kanaria soon reported, "Clovis. We're about five minutes away from the lab. Get ready to turn left soon," to show that they had gone far enough.
