Another World Mall-Chapter 527: An Attack
Melody frowned. "Another wave is coming."
Kanaria and Jay were still trying to evolve to Tier 3 by filling up the rest of essence they needed.
However, they would still need some time to finish.
"It seems that we have to stop them with only four of us." Erwin stepped outside the base.
"I will also help since I’m done with the basic treatment." Luci nodded in agreement.
"In that case, Luci and Ragna can fight them head-on. I will support you from a distance. Erwin can set up a few traps. Even though the base has been abandoned, I think it won’t be hard for them to find out the civilians’ location. That’s why the trap should be effective and straightforward."
"Got it." Erwin nodded and immediately returned inside.
"At least, it seems to be only two hundred or three hundred beasts with one Tier 5 in charge. If it’s more than this, I’m afraid we won’t be able to stop them."
"Clovis has probably gotten most of them. There’s no way he will leave them alone."
"True."
Luci and Ragna nodded their heads as they went to their positions.
Luci couldn’t help but ask, "Can we handle it like him? Like luring them away. The beasts usually will focus on us instead of others, right?"
"There is no telling. I can’t help but be curious why the beasts are going to this base. Even if there is no reason, shouldn’t there be a lot more beasts going around this base? It is as if there is something else in this base," replied Melody with a serious expression.
Luci thought for a moment. "In that case, I will try to lure them away. If they don’t follow me, it’s probably because of that something."
"Well, Clovis has done the same trick, so they might not fall for it again, especially with the Tier 5 beast at the helm."
"But it’s worth the shot."
"You can do it, but not too far." Melody finally gave her permission.
"Alright." Luci immediately went straight toward the enemy’s line.
The beasts obviously recognized her.
Luci picked up her knives and pounced on the first beast. Other beasts were doing the same, but Luci simply sliced their eyes with precision, blinding them.
As a result, they lost their balance and fell to the ground, causing other beasts to trip over them.
Meanwhile, the rest of the beasts that pounced on her surprisingly missed her. In fact, Luci actually moved before they even jumped as if she knew when and where they would jump.
Luci hadn’t received a single item, so her speed and strength were still similar to a Tier 4.
As a result, she wasn’t fast enough to avoid the beasts and had to block several beasts that rammed their bodies at her.
However, it didn’t matter. She managed to escape before the beasts surrounded her and started running away.
"!!!" The beasts immediately chased after her, but all of a sudden, they could hear a loud roar coming from a distance.
The beasts raised their heads before turning back to the original path, not pursuing Luci.
"!!!" It was Luci’s turn to be surprised. She had expected this, but not this fast. She thought she could lure them a little bit more, which would definitely bring a big change to the situation.
But the Tier 5 beast actually kept the line tight. Was it truly because of Clovis? Or was it because of something else?
Nevertheless, Melody shouted, "Luci! Get back here."
She knew Ragna wouldn’t be able to handle all of them, so she ran on their side. Unfortunately, the beasts were faster than her, which caused them to pounce on Ragna before she arrived.
Bang!
Ragna blocked several beasts in rapid succession with his shield, but he was gradually being pushed back. Some beasts were also looping around him.
Melody hurriedly jumped off the wall and flew a few meters above them. She shot as many beasts as she could, while the beasts couldn’t jump that high to reach her.
Still, twenty beasts had slipped past both of them before Luci reached the gate. She immediately cut the beasts’ eyes and ears the moment she arrived if their hearts were too deep.
The beasts split into several groups as if they were searching for something. When he saw the situation, Erwin sprung into action.
He immediately killed several beasts going in his direction and ignored the rest of the beasts since they were going around the base. He only had to protect a single building after all.
On the other hand, the front gate was facing some problems. Due to the influx of the beasts, Ragna and the others were being pushed back. Normally, the beasts would be going around them and entering the base through other gates, but this time, the beasts just kept pushing forward.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t close the gate, which should have been enough to stop a lot of beasts from climbing.
They thought it was because the gate was open that the beasts continued forward.
"Kh!" Luci started getting overwhelmed. Even though she was a Tier 4 human, she didn’t have the items, a technique, or the Star Method. In addition, she was a doctor.
She could cut them and know their weakness, but that wasn’t enough.
Ragna had been the one taking on most of the beasts, while Melody rained them down with bullets.
However, it all changed the moment the Tier 5 beast took action.
While Melody was shooting the beasts, a Tier 5 proconsul leaped into the air.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
"!!!" Melody raised her head, surprised that the Tier 5 beast could jump this high.
She hurriedly flew away, but its giant finger still hit her legs.
"Kh." Melody lost her balance. Even its fingertip contained so much momentum that it pushed her several meters away.
In addition, the Tier 5 proconsul ended up landing next to Ragna.
Ragna wanted to retreat, but Luci would be in trouble if he did it.
"Tsk." Ragna activated his beast soul as the proconsul hit him with the back of his hand, launching him away.
Ragna’s body was launched and bounced a few times on the ground, leaving Luci alone.
"Luci! Get away!" Melody shouted. Because the Tier 5 proconsul blasted them away, there was only Luci left on the front.
Luci raised her head and saw the Tier 5 proconsul staring down at her. It was at this moment they realized the target was her all along.
