Everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes. Whether it was Sigurd, Dan, Khain, or anyone else, they were in utter shock, finding such a huge wolf hiding inside Clovis' bus.
This was a dire wolf, not just any dire wolf, but a Tier 4 beast. More importantly, the fact they were staying on the bus earlier meant he had been staying together with Clovis' team the whole time.
It looked like he came out of the bus because Clovis told him to kill a person. In other words, Clovis was actually able to order it.
No one could contain their shock because what Clovis had done was something no one in this world had ever seen before.
'What? Did that dire wolf…' Khain couldn't comprehend what actually happened. How did Clovis actually order this wolf?
'The president would be surprised if he knew Clovis was still hiding such a trump card… At this point, I can confidently say that we got him in a bargain. If we are not generous from now on, I'm afraid he might leave the country…' Sigurd squinted his eyes.
'A beast, huh? Having a beast in one's group will change how you fight on the battlefield…' Dan fell silent, understanding where the Libation Fiesta's strength was coming from.
If this secret were to be known, they would definitely do anything to get Clovis.
So, these people, even if they failed, might not reveal this information so that no one would get him. Even if they spread it, no matter how evil they portrayed him, Clovis had magic words that could overturn their claim.
He simply had to say this was his unique ability, which was true as well. The people would just understand it without asking many questions. In the end, the unique ability was the biggest secret of a Tier 9 human, so even if they doubted him, they couldn't ask for the details about his unique ability.
That was why Clovis decided to let Reolf out so that they could overturn the situation.
As one would expect from Khain, he regained his composure in just a few seconds and shouted, "Allan! Focus on him! I don't care if we can't bring anyone else. Get him now!"
"!!!" Allan was startled, but as his subordinate, he had to chase after Clovis.
Jay raised his sword as if trying to block this attack, but Christina activated her Provoke again, not letting him go. In addition, Christina came closer to manipulating Allan's instinct into thinking the prey was close, so he had to hit it first.
Ultimately, Allan turned around and slammed her with his arm. He didn't hold back anymore, planning to knock her out with a heavy injury. It would be better if this attack was enough to launch her to a building and let her get buried underneath rubble, since it would stop her for a while.
To his surprise, his arm actually stopped.
"!!!" Allan couldn't help but glance back, shocked to find two shields on his way instead of one. The second shield didn't come from Christina. Instead, Ragna had already reached their position.
Behind them stood Lucifania and Erwin, pushing the shields to help them withstand this powerful attack.
For the first time during the fight, they managed to completely block Allan's attack.
In addition, Kanaria used the Soul Weapon and shot him from the side.
The bullet was so powerful that it made Allan grit his teeth. However, Allan's pseudo unique ability was simply too strong. Unlike Aileen, he had been polishing his pseudo unique ability for at least two times longer than Aileen, so his mastery was already close to the peak.
That was why even the strongest bullet from Kanaria couldn't penetrate his defense.
Aileen suddenly appeared beside him and struck his neck.
A clicking sound echoed as Aileen clicked her tongue, realizing that the iron body was activated all the time, meaning she couldn't penetrate it easily.
Not planning to let her go, Allan reached out his hand, but all of a sudden, Reolf leaped into the air and bit the back of her collar before using his beast soul to speed up, saving Aileen.
Clovis, Jay, and Rena charged toward Allan, striking the same spot.
"Annoying." Allan gritted his teeth. He blocked their attack with his arm, but the three of them didn't seem to be bothered with it, as though it had gone according to the original plan.
Now that the entire group was fighting against Allan, they might not necessarily lose anymore.
Christina and Ragna would be in charge of taking Allan's attack. Luci and Erwin would remain as support to make sure they have enough strength to stop him.
Meanwhile, Aileen, Kanaria, and Reolf would distract him, allowing Clovis, Jay, and Rena to attack him. They might not be able to pierce through his defense, but Allan wouldn't be able to defeat them either.
At the very least, something would definitely change in a few minutes. He didn't know whether this change would be positive or negative, but that change was needed.
"Why don't we retreat into the wilderness, Clovis?" Melody asked while manipulating the instruction for each individual.
Clovis looked around. "We might be able to run, but we will definitely get caught sooner or later there.
"I don't know what's going on, but there's another fight in this city as well."
"Wait. Are you trying to force these two to fight?"
"We don't have any other choice. The only thing that could change the situation will be a reinforcement, but looking at our current situation, what can we even do at this point?"
Melody squinted her eyes. "Understood. In that case, I will create the escape path. Since they're planning to grab you, our escape route will remain in the underground wilderness.
"The moment they're about to fight, we'll leave immediately. Even if they choose to have a truce, the people in this country will do their best to somehow stop them. The longer they stay here, the worse their situation will be anyway."
"Yeah. We'll attract their attention here, so you should focus on securing our escape route." Clovis nodded.
