Chapter 528 Rejoining the Fight
"Luci! Get away!" Melody shouted.
Lucy looked at the beasts before her. Because Ragna was blown away, the beasts could start flocking the gate, which meant blocking her path to retreat.
This way, the beasts could definitely take Luci down, especially the Tier 5 proconsul.
With a roar coming from the proconsul, the beasts immediately changed their direction.
"!!!" Luci hurriedly turned around and ran as fast as she could, but as one would expect, the beasts caught up.
*Roar!*
The beasts pounced on her.
Luci turned around and struck their eyes, but there were simply too many of them. If she remained in her position for too long, she would be in danger.@@@@
"Tsk." Luci clicked her teeth and started running again. However, the beasts kept attacking her. They gradually slowed her down and surrounded her.
Melody flew toward Luci at her fastest speed, planning to rescue her from above.
However, the Tier 5 proconsul swung his arm, trying to hit Melody. Fortunately, Melody was able to react, but the arm stopped her for a moment.
Ragna also wanted to do it, but he was overwhelmed by the sheer number of beasts. In other words, there was no way to save Luci.
Luci had never given up on herself. Despite being surrounded by the beasts, she was still fighting and searching for any escape route.
Melody was the only one that could get her, but the proconsul kept stopping her, making her unable to save Luci. The latter could probably last for another two or three minutes, but no longer after that.
She wasn't Clovis or Jay after all.
Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, a string suddenly wrapped her waist and pulled her into the sky.
"What?" Luci was startled and turned her head around, finding Erwin.
"I know this is going to happen." Erwin sighed. He hurriedly pulled Luci back down.
"Erwin!" Melody gasped.
"We don't have a lot of time. Hurry up and go to your position!" Erwin shouted. Because he had to save Luci, he abandoned his post.
It was obvious that the beasts took advantage of this moment to come toward the building they protected.
When they heard the beasts' voices coming closer and closer, the explorers hurriedly raised their weapons, pointing them at the door.
All of them were nervous, wondering what kind of beast was coming for them.
The beasts knocked on their door with so much force that it destroyed the wooden door in one go.
"Two beasts." The captain of the explorers shouted while pointing at the beasts. "They are... Tier 3 and Tier 4 beasts?"
The explorers couldn't believe it. Their captain was a Tier 4 human, so he immediately shouted, "I'll stop the Tier 4 beast. You guys stop the Tier 3 beast."
Without hesitation, the captain charged straight toward the Tier 4 beast. He struck the Tier 4 beast, but the latter simply blocked it with its arm. The skin was so tough that his weapon couldn't penetrate.
He almost forgot that there was no underground tunnel in this place. It was clear that the beast's strength would be much higher.
"!!!" The captain widened his eyes because the beast gradually overpowered him.
"Kh. I can't hold on." The guy gritted his teeth.
"That is enough. Thank you for buying me enough time." Jay's voice suddenly echoed in his ears as his shadow appeared in the corner of his vision.
Jay swung his blade toward the Tier 4 beast. The latter waved its paw—the same paw that the Tier 4 captain couldn't even scratch—toward Jay's blade.
When both of them clashed, the captain thought that Jay would end up getting blown away.
However, Jay's eyes turned bloodshot as his arms expanded.
"Get lost!" Jay shouted as he poured every ounce of his strength into this swing.
"!!!" The beast suddenly noticed something. He realized the sword actually pierced through the toughness of his skin. And it didn't stop there.
Jay actually cut his arm and hit his neck. In fact, the sword gained a lot of momentum right after it cut through the arm, resulting in the blade slicing the neck in an instant.
Everyone couldn't help but drop their jaws. The strong beast they thought would come for their lives was actually defeated in a single slash. 'What kind of strength does this person have?' was the question that appeared in everyone's mind.
The captain simply couldn't believe it. What thank you? He couldn't even stop a single attack from the Tier 4 beast.
Jay ignored their reactions as he found another beast still running rampant on the other side of the room.
With another slash, he killed the last threat in the room, as he couldn't help but find Erwin was just about to enter the room.
"Hmph. It seems I have to do everything myself." Jay snorted.
