Another World Mall

Chapter 379 The City's Condition

"Ha... Ha..." Clovis was panting heavily while looking at the numerous corpses in front of him. "How many beasts did we just kill?"

"I don't know. Maybe about 400 beasts?" Melody replied while monitoring the situation on the screen. While Melody was inside the minibus, feeling the chilling air from the air conditioner, her clothes were drenched in sweat.

In the end, the one who worked the hardest was her. She had been helping five of them while monitoring the entire field the whole time.

"I'm tired." Melody let out a long sigh while leaning back. "And Clovis wants a total of two teams? Can I even keep up with all of them?"@@@@

On the other hand, Clovis had sheathed his blade while checking the others, especially Erwin, who was lying down on the ground. He had a hard time keeping up with the insane pace.

"Oi. Are you alive?" Clovis jokingly called Erwin from a distance.

Erwin raised his head a bit while saying, "Your group is too much."

"Don't worry. You will get used to it sooner or later." Clovis stuck out his tongue.

Erwin chuckled. He couldn't deny it, considering Clovis had given him the items and other things, such as the Star Method and a technique from the bookstore.

Erwin knew that all of them were extraordinary, especially after revealing the fact that the Star Method came from his father while the technique originated from his grandfather.

If he managed to master all of them, he might be able to defeat Aileen, even if she was one tier above him.

Meanwhile, Jay and Ragna were collecting the essence from the corpses, while Kanaria remained on the lookout.

Clovis asked, "How is the situation in front?"

Melody looked at the map before reporting. "We have approximately killed about thirty percent of the beasts looming around the mountain. We will probably need another three hours to clean up the rest. And if we want to play it safe, we will take another hour just to make sure about it.

"Aileen has reached the second checkpoint and remained there for the time being. Sir Albert has left the third checkpoint and is now making his way to the city."

"Have you told them about our status?" Clovis contemplated. "What are their thoughts about it?"

"Yes. Aileen will be coordinating with us and sending reinforcement from the second checkpoint. This way, after we clear this mountain, the reinforcements will turn it into a safe checkpoint. Meanwhile, we will go toward the city."

Clovis rubbed his chin before asking, "What about the third checkpoint?"

"The previous command center was raided by the enemy. The commander was there and died in battle."

"But he was a Tier 6 human. How could he die just like that?" Albert abruptly stopped, realizing the culprit. "Don't tell me, the news about the Tier 7 beast is true..."

"Yes, sir." He nodded. "I will lead you to the vice commander."

"No. Just point out the direction. I'll go by myself. You'll remain here to stop the beasts."

"There. The three-story building with a black roof."

"Alright." Albert didn't immediately go. He noticed the gazes of the bystanders. He raised his voice and shouted with dignity. "People. I am a Tier 7 explorer, Albert Risevan. I'm here to help with the evacuation process.

However, I'll need you to lend me a hand. Please stop the beasts for a bit more."

The people who heard him couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Albert Risevan?"

"The Shadow Killer?"

"I saw his face ten years ago on Skynet."

"We can finally go home."

"Fight! It's time to fight back and go home. Just hang on a bit more!"

"Ooh!"

The people became a bit more energetic.

Albert then jumped off the wall while looking at the city's state. Thirty percent of the buildings inside the city had been destroyed. He could see barricades here and there. But all of them were located near the center of the city.

As expected, the beasts came from underground and took control of the stone pillar and its nearby area. The Tier 7 beast should also be hiding in there.

"Still, it's awful."
