The next day.

    Clovis and his team were ready next to the entrance to the underground nest.

    Melody warned, "There are at least four hundred beasts inside and we will have nowhere to run because we have to protect the entrance. At the same time, we can''t really create a wall with their corpses because they might end up going to the surface on another path.

    "Hence, we have to keep the flow going.

    "I''m pretty sure that there are a lot of Tier 5 beasts as well, so all of you should be careful.

    "For today, Clovis will go on a rampage and kill as many beasts as possible, grabbing their attention and rage. Luci will remain near the entrance with me, while Christina will be the buffer zone. You direct or even kill the beasts coming to the entrance in a way we can keep up.

    "This is going to be a hard battle because none of you are able to utilize your full strength due to your current weapons. Besides, we are lacking equipment to fight in the dark.

    "However, we can''t really fail because those beasts will be coming directly toward Jay and the others. So, good luck."

    Clovis nodded with a smile. "Yep. We won''t fail. Make sure to maintain contact and coordinate with Jay''s group. Tell us when we''re supposed to enter."

    Melody lowered her vision, focusing on the screen through the camera Kanaria had.

    "We''ll kill the Tier 6 beast. All of you just have to focus on other beasts." Gillian ordered in a condescending tone.

    Erwin nodded with a serious expression, even though he really wanted to punch this guy''s face. "Don''t worry. We will kill the beasts and ensure the safety of your group. Unless you''re doing something reckless, we will be able to handle it."

    Gillian glared at Erwin, but Aileen glared at Gillian. She was obviously protecting her boyfriend, but Gillian thought this was a warning from Aileen to not start anything because she would report it.

    After that, he made one big swing, carrying all his strength.

    The Tier 3 beast tried to block it, but his blade simply cut through the claws, arms, and the body.

    Gillian only snorted at his performance because he could do it too. On the other hand, the other two in his team were impressed because they didn''t have prejudice or hatred toward random people.

    Erwin wasn''t losing either. He couldn''t use his wires, but it didn''t mean his fist was any less than Gillian''s.

    A Tier 3 beast wanted to challenge him, but it was unfortunate that Erwin was a Tier 4 human. When the beast pounced on him, he just punched the paw and overpowered the beast, knocking it down to the ground. The punch was so powerful that it actually crushed the beast''s skull, ultimately killing it.

    Both Jay and Erwin showed their prowess that was different from people on their level. In fact, they were actually much stronger than what they had shown so far.

    On the other hand, Ragna and Kanaria were working together to handle the rest of the beasts that slipped past Erwin and Jay, allowing Gillian''s group to conserve their strength.

    Even though Aileen wanted to join them, she knew that it was better to observe Clovis'' group as much as possible. After all, she will be joining this group soon.

    While they were advancing toward the Tier 6 beast, Melody said, "They''ve begun and are about to reach the Tier 6 beast. The beast hasn''t shown anything yet, which results in the underground nest yet to have a movement."

    Clovis nodded. While fixing his night vision scope, he said, "In that case, let''s begin. Inform them that we will be going in."

    Christina and Luci were standing beside him while Melody positioned herself at the very back.

    The moment they entered the nest, they could see a huge cave containing hundreds of beasts. It looked like a limestone cave, which was quite unique to be found near the surface that didn''t seem to have much ground movement.

    Nevertheless, Clovis activated his Perfect State while Christina scanned the area to get a good grasp of which enemies she should use her unique abilities on.

    "We''re entering the nest. Good luck, everyone."
