Another World Mall-Chapter 607: Knocking Clovis Out
The punch launched Clovis at the beasts as he ended up crashing into them. The beasts tumbled over while other beasts who were free immediately reacted by surrounding Clovis.
"Hihi…" Clovis looked like he was smiling, but his eyebrows kept twitching as though something inside was making him uncomfortable.
Still, he slashed all the beasts around him in rapid succession, freeing himself from the encirclement.
There were some beasts that annoyed him, so he continued on hacking them one by one until he could sense a clear path toward Christina.

Without hesitation, Clovis leaped toward Christina and struck her like he slashed the beast.
Christina planted the shield into the ground to barely stop the first attack before raising it up.
Seeing this chance, Clovis lowered his body and struck her from below. But that weird twist on his body might use the flexible foundation Clovis had, but it didn’t account for Christina’s unique ability.
All of a sudden, his right foot moved in the opposite direction, causing him to trip to the ground.
"!!!" Clovis looked shocked because he didn’t understand what was going on.
Before he realized it, Christina had lifted up her shield fully and kicked him in the stomach.
"Gah!" Clovis spat some acid from his stomach before getting launched back to the beast crowd.
Some beasts followed Clovis. Once they saw Clovis was flying away, they switched their target to Christina. Fortunately, Luci stepped forward and killed all the incoming beasts, allowing Christina to focus on Clovis.
Christina, on the other hand, felt something was wrong. He had gone a little too deep to the point where a punch and a kick couldn’t bring him back.
’This is weird. We have fought a couple of times to the point where he is berserk, but this is the first time he is not going back.
’Do I have to hit harder? But if I hit harder, it will be troublesome if his organ is damaged severely or his bones crack…’ Christina was confused. On the one hand, she couldn’t afford to hurt Clovis that much. On the other hand, her attack might go nowhere.
Christina asked, "Luci. Do you have something that can wake him up or at least put him to sleep?"
"I don’t bring it. Our group doesn’t really need such a thing, so I don’t bring them right now." Luci shook her head. "Shouldn’t a time like this require you to just hug him and tell him to come back?"
"You are a freaking doctor. Say something scientific, not fiction!" Christina clicked her tongue. "I will just knock him out with my shield then. Cover for me."
Luci chuckled. "Sure. I will assist you."
Both of them charged at Clovis. Luci sped up and dealt with the beasts that came to stop them, opening a path between Christina and Clovis.
It was fortunate that the beasts were keeping Clovis at bay, so she swiftly swept in.
Clovis sped up and sliced the remaining beasts around him, creating a small opportunity to attack Christina.
Christina used her unique ability on both of his feet, telling them to move in different directions.
Clovis was still confused about this attack, but he managed to adapt at the last second and struck her with his full force.
Fortunately, it was an attack from the side, so Christina placed her shield on the left side of her body and skillfully used that momentum to loop around Clovis.
"!!!" Clovis looked shocked and wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Christina banged his head with her shield.
"Gii?" Clovis almost lost his consciousness from that attack. However, he held on and hurriedly stood up so that she could fight her to the fullest.
Christina could hit him again, but the beasts had already surrounded them. Hence, she switched her stance and stopped the beasts with her giant shield, even for a second.
During that time, Clovis swung his blade to her exposed side.
"Tsk!" Christina clicked her tongue. She might have to get hurt a bit to stop him.
However, Luci suddenly lifted up her skirt and grabbed the hidden throwing knife before skillfully throwing it to Clovis’ arm.
"!!!" Clovis stopped abruptly because of the pain.
Christina was surprised by the throwing knife, but she took advantage of the distraction to punch Clovis in the guts.
"Gah!" Clovis spat a mouthful of blood before falling unconscious.
Christina hurriedly grabbed his waist and dragged him out of there. Luci also covered for them, allowing them to have a gradual retreat.
Christina checked on Clovis’ condition by using her unique ability. The fact that Clovis didn’t react to her ’Provoke’ anymore meant he wasn’t conscious anymore, which was relieving at this point.
She shouted, "Melody. Take care of him. Shield Toss!"
She spun her body and tossed Clovis like that of a shield. The toss was so powerful that it managed to launch him almost twenty meters away, despite his body weight.
"What the—!" Melody tried to stop it, but she didn’t have enough physical strength to do it. In the end, Clovis crashed into her stomach.
"Geh!" Melody gritted her teeth while falling on her butt. "You monster. What the hell are you doing? Are you planning to kill me? And what’s with the weight of your shield… for you to be able to throw this guy this far?"
Christina just ignored her since she had to help Luci. She first banged several beasts with her shield, giving Luci a chance to cut them.
"You’re even more surprising to me. A hidden throwing knife?" Christina narrowed her eyes.
"Well, it can’t be helped. Clovis has told me to only use this one blade, but I’m just afraid something will go wrong and I will need other knives. Unfortunately, this is the only thing that I have." Luci shrugged.
Christina chuckled. "Now that Clovis is already out of the way, there are only a hundred or so beasts left. Let’s gradually retreat and kill them around the entrance, shall we?"
"Your lead." Luci nodded.
