Clovis was approaching from the left, taking advantage of the injured eye to avoid being sent.
Jay positioned himself slightly to the right so that Clovis could close in safely.
However, the frog suddenly jumped into the air for no reason, alarming both Jay and Clovis.
'Huh? Did it sense me?' Clovis thought with a serious expression.
Jay jumped away as the frog landed on his original position, carrying that massive weight. Its fall caused the ground to vibrate, alarming all the beasts in the area.
Clovis noticed that the number of beasts around had surpassed the limit that Kanaria could handle. It seemed that they had to fight the frog while repelling the beasts around them.
Still, before these beasts reach them, they should injure the frog as much as possible.
"It's going to be impossible for Kanaria to stop all of them by herself. Melody, you have to keep a close eye on the radar," said Clovis while running toward the frog.
Jay jumped into the air and slashed the frog's head from above. The frog raised its leg to block it, causing Jay's swing to slide down the entire body without piercing through the skin.
Clovis, on the other hand, slashed the frog's side multiple times. However, the moment it landed on the frog's skin, the blade ended up rotating slightly, causing the dull body to clash with the skin instead of the sharp edge.
No matter if it was the long sword or the short sword, he was unable to cut the frog.
Clovis still didn't believe that the frog was able to block every single attack, so he started going around the body and striking every part.
However, they didn't have a lot of time left.
After a few seconds, Clovis became even more desperate as he still couldn't find any weak spots.
All of a sudden, Melody warned him, "On your left."
Clovis glanced to the side, finding a beast coming toward him. He stopped his attack, spun his body, and struck this beast. The latter waved its paw from above, hitting the long sword with its long claws.
As if using the beast to see Clovis's real position, the frog shifted its body and slapped him with his front leg.
"No!" Jay shouted, trying to stop the frog. Unfortunately for him, a beast came from the opposite direction as Melody's warning kept ringing in his ear.
Jay took a step back and saw the incoming beast. Instead of slashing the frog, he had to hit this beast.
He managed to snap the beast's front leg with his raw strength, but as soon as the beast passed him, the frog had already sent its tongue at him.
"Tsk." Jay clicked his tongue and used the body of his blade to block it, only to be launched away by the sheer force.
Now that there was a distance between the frog and Jay, the former turned around and slapped Clovis with the other leg.
In addition, the beast that stopped Clovis earlier had come once again, hindering his movement.
Clovis struck the beast first while spinning his body, hitting the frog's leg. It was probably because the frog had just turned around that it hadn't stabilized its body yet as Clovis actually managed to stop this swipe.
Still, he had to take a step back and swing the blade in another direction to block the beast.
Clovis traded several blows with the frog and the Tier 1 beast, gradually getting suppressed.
Jay, on the other hand, focused on killing the beast next to him first so that he could help Clovis unhindered.
Clovis fought like a madman. For him, if one swing wasn't enough, he would send multiple of them.
However, getting pincered from two sides was quite hard even for him.
After ten rounds, the Tier 1 beast managed to graze his shoulder with those long nails. But right after, Clovis cut down the beast's front legs, leaving it vulnerable.
When Clovis was about to kill this Tier 1 beast, another beast approached him from a different direction and the frog hit him from above.
Clovis had to jump away to avoid both of them. He tossed the short sword mid-air, hitting the Tier 1 beast's head and ultimately killing it.
"Tsk." Clovis clicked his tongue because Melody warned him of yet another beast.
The moment he landed, he spun his body and struck the beast behind him. After that, he jumped into the air to avoid the frog's swipe before the other beast pounced on him.
Clovis fell and was pinned to the ground by this beast. He hurriedly kicked the beast away and found the beast he struck earlier had recovered and was about to crush his head.
Clovis hurriedly rolled to the side. Instead of standing up, he remained on his knees, barely avoiding the frog's leg that would have hit his upper body had he stood up.
Still, the two beasts chased after him. He struck the first one, but the second one managed to hit his left shoulder.
Clovis tossed the short sword at this beast, which disrupted its movement before slashing its neck.
Instead of picking the short sword, he pulled out the pistol and shot the other beast while making his way toward the frog.
The beast chased after him, but when the former was close enough to the frog, Clovis looped around and kicked the beast to the frog.
The frog tried to smash him, but Clovis simply shot the frog's eye multiple times to stop him. He stabbed the beast with his long sword, piercing its body and directly hitting the frog.
"!!!" The frog's body shuddered, realizing that the sword had finally reached the frog.
Clovis actually used the beast's flesh to stop the movement of his sword when hitting something so slippery.
However, it was surprising that he had to do all this just to actually injure a Tier 3 beast.
Clovis glared at the frog, thinking all this frustration could only be vented by turning the frog into their dinner tonight.
