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.

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.

"!!!" 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.
