"Ah... Thank you..." Aileen dumbfoundedly accepted the skewer. She didn’t even know why she accepted it in the first place since it was clearly not the time to do it.
More importantly, did he just blow away a Tier 7 human? When Aileen sensed his strength, it was clear that Clovis was still a Tier 5 human.
Then what was the roar earlier? She wondered if she had heard it incorrectly, but his sword was the one producing that roar. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
But when she looked into Clovis’ eyes, he was clearly asking her to taste it.
She didn’t understand since when Clovis had been this carefree. Although Clovis had done a lot of things on a whim, he always faced problems seriously. And they were definitely in trouble.
Aileen just wanted to get this done with, so she took a small bite of the skewer, only to have her eyes light up.
"Mhmmm?" Aileen’s eyes were wide open, her face becoming energetic.
"Good, right?" Clovis grinned. "Take this, by the way. I have brought our lunch."
Those who saw everything were simply dumbfounded.
"That’s Clovis. Did he just overpower a Tier 7 human?" Vina gasped. "Has he grown that strong? That sound... It’s a roar, right?"
"That sounds like the one Mara Leverstrike used back then." Christina frowned.
"But why is he giving her a skewer?" Melody smiled wryly.
"He has been with Mara Leverstrike for 18 months. I have personally seen Mara deciding where to go by following where her glaive drops, so..." Kanaria rolled her eyes.
"He ends up becoming so carefree, huh?" Lucifania chuckled.
While the people from the Libation Fiesta were having a good time after Clovis’ appearance, Stefany had her face distorted.
’How can this be? Clovis Hacfield? He has been in this city all this time? I have been hiding my people before this in several areas, but to think that he can even overpower a Tier 7 human...
’More importantly, Mr. Brian specializes in strength, so does that mean his strength has surpassed even such a person?’
Stefany couldn’t help but glance at Christina as someone who also had a unique ability. ’These monsters... I might not have enough people to fight them...’
"You..." Brian stood back up and leaped toward Clovis, his face filled with anger. Even though he didn’t have anything special, he still had his pride as a Tier 7 human. The gap between Tier 5 and Tier 7 shouldn’t be that easy to overcome.
Clovis smiled. Instead of picking his sword, he raised both hands instead.
This was like an insult to Brian. He was adept at martial arts and his weapon was his fist. Yet, Clovis, a swordsman who didn’t have muscle affinity, challenged him to a fistfight.
How could he not feel insulted?
To everyone’s surprise, the moment Brian punched Clovis, the latter slapped that fist from the side and knocked it away. Brian was stunned, but he hurriedly followed with the other fist, but Clovis’ hand simply moved in the opposite direction and knocked it away with the back of his palm.
Each time Clovis hit his opponent, a thunderous shock wave occurred, allowing Clovis to match the strength of a Tier 7 human.
Brian then kicked his legs, but Clovis jumped up, avoiding it. This kick was a distraction.
As soon as Clovis was in the air, he pulled back his fist one more time and put all his strength into this one punch.
Clovis raised both arms, receiving this attack. "Archelon Ischyros."
The fist blew him away. Even if Clovis could match his strength, his defense shouldn’t be up to par. That punch should be enough to break Clovis’ arms.
"Lepus Giganteus." Clovis kicked the floor as if he were like a rabbit. Thanks to Archelon Ischyros, a turtle from the late Cretaceous era, Clovis managed to receive the impact with no problem.
Then, he closed the gap between them in a single kick.
"!!!" Brian was shocked. How could he actually recover? How could he remain fine even after receiving that punch?
Brian joined both hands and smashed Clovis from above.
"Proconsul." Clovis grabbed Brian’s arms and spun his body, climbing Brian’s arms as if he were a monkey climbing a tree.
"You... stop messing around!" Brian waved his arms to shake Clovis off.
Clovis jumped into the air, did a backflip, and dropped a kick. "Entelodon."
The power of the kick caused Brian to grit his teeth. The ground underneath him cracked, but his body managed to withstand the impact of a dropkick with the addition of Entelodon, a pig with thick muscles.
In fact, Brian just got angrier and turned around and punched him, but before he realized it, Clovis was already a few meters away from him. More importantly, his hand was already holding the sword.
’Since when...’ Brian sucked a cold breath and glanced down, realizing that the sword was already gone.
"Andrewsarchus mongoliensis." Clovis waved his sword. Another roar was produced as the sword strike traveled toward Brian.
"Diamond Body!" Brian shouted. The muscles on his arms abruptly expanded, similar to Jay’s beast soul. It appeared Brian might have come to get a new beast soul from their company.
However, the sword strike still cut through that muscle and left a deep mark on his arms.
Blood spurted, splattering around the floor.
Although Brian continued fighting, all of them could see that Clovis was toying with Brian. Brian’s strength couldn’t be underestimated, but Clovis was still beyond him.
Although it would be hard for Clovis to defeat Brian, playing around while injuring him shouldn’t be that big of an issue. After all, Clovis had trained under Mara and managed to utilize his unique ability properly.
In addition, his power had been boosted by Another World Mall’s treatment and food.
However, this was a blatant statement from Clovis, telling them that he could still defeat them even if he was only a Tier 5 human.
Yet, despite having such an advantage, Clovis abruptly lowered his sword with a big smile on his face.
