CHAPTER 832: MESSY BATTLEFIELD

"You are free to engage." Clovis gave a signal. Despite his trickery, Clovis had never done anything that would result in a massive conflict. Even when he managed to flip the situation around, he still offered a way out for Mr. K.

Mr. K understood it as well, so he was considering Clovis’ offer.

However, it all changed when their side suddenly blew a whistle that seemed to provoke the beasts around this area.

In a moment, the beasts would swarm the entire area, and they had no choice but to flee.

But before that happened, Clovis couldn’t afford to let them go unscathed.

"Eid. We’ll engage them according to the previous arrangement. Tell your people to kill as many people as they can."

"Understood." Eid nodded. R.A.I.D. wouldn’t have the right to complain if they got butchered here.

After all, three of their Tier 7 humans had to be gone or they would end up getting punished because of their interference in the succession battle. And the one who would bear that responsibility was their own master, Albert.

Mr. K had to decide. If he let these Tier 7 humans fight, it would result in their crippling relationship with Albert. But if he didn’t, a couple of people might die.

Not planning to leave him any choice, Clovis activated his Abyss Time right away. He stepped forth and drew his blade as strongly as possible.

His powerful momentum flew forward, heading straight to Mr. K.

"Tsk." Mr. K gritted his teeth. While raising his stance, he shouted, "Wait, Mr. Clovis. I don’t have any plans to fight you!"

"Do you think I can trust you?" Clovis snorted.

Mr. K planned to destroy this sword strike before talking with Clovis, but the one-eyed swordsman came this time and hit Clovis’ strike.

"!!!" The one-eyed swordsman was quite surprised by the heaviness of this single attack. His step halted for a moment as his other arm reached for the blade’s handle before he could actually disperse this power.

Clovis rushed to the one-eyed swordsman. Both of them swung their swords at the same time, exchanging blow after blow.

Due to the amount of power he transferred into each strike, Clovis’ speed slowed down significantly.

He could unleash only 4 strikes every second. However, each strike contained a power that could kill a Tier 5 beast in a single swing.

The one-eyed swordsman ended up on the defensive as Clovis pushed him back, but it didn’t mean he was at a disadvantage. It looked like he was studying Clovis.

On the other hand, Mr. K’s eyes turned bloodshot as he spread his arms.

"Tsk." Erwin clicked his tongue as he let go of those arms. He retracted his wires and prepared to shoot another wave of wires.

At the same time, Jay approached Mr. K from another side and struck him from above.

Mr. K raised his arm and stopped him, but the ground underneath him cracked.

Nart and Eid were coming straight to the vice captain of the R.A.I.D., Douglas. Even though they were only Tier 6 humans, they both possessed pseudo unique abilities. So, their combined strength should reach Tier 7.

With their cooperation, the three Tier 7 on their sides would have an easy time targeting the people from the opposite team.

At the same time, Kanaria and the others fired at the enemy. Because the enemy snipers didn’t have the right position, they wouldn’t be able to shoot back.

As a result, someone got shot.

"Aaaahhhh!"

"!!!" Mr. K wanted to check what happened, but he knew that his subordinate was injured.

’Who actually blew the whistle? No, who even had such a whistle? At this rate, some of my people might die before the beasts come. And even if the beasts come, the battlefield will only become more chaotic.

’There’s no guarantee that all my subordinates will not die. This is a blunder. There is a traitor in my group. Is it the one-eyed swordsman? He’s the only one outside my group...

’What should I do? Should I retreat? Should I return to the cave? Should I break the rules?

’Will the boss get angry because of this? He will surely be angry, but it’s hard to train people to Tier 6...

’All of them are elites...’

Mr. K was facing a dilemma. On the one hand, he wanted to save everyone. On the other hand, he had to consider the cost.

Because no one knew the traitor, Mr. K might end up getting blamed for all this instead of the traitor.

*Cry!*

A loud cry echoed from the sky. Mr. K couldn’t help but lift up his head, finding the same bird that saved Stefany flying in the sky.

"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes in surprise. He had always understood what his pets were saying, even though it was only the gist of it.

This time, Rea informed him that extreme danger was coming.

There was only one thing that could be described as ’Extreme Danger’ in this area. It was none other than a Tier 8 beast.

If he didn’t order a retreat, the beasts might surround the entire group. And they would have no choice but to break through.

At the same time, the enemy side would be the same, but because they were much closer to the cave, they could simply return to the cave.

Clovis had gotten his objective, so if he took this opportunity to starve them inside the cave, it would look like Clovis was planning to go to war with R.A.I.D., which he didn’t plan to.

As a result, there was only one answer.

"Reolf, assist Melody now!" Clovis shouted.

"!!!" Reolf was surprised because Reolf couldn’t assist her in a battle. It was always the other way around.

However, there was one thing he could be of help. It was his senses.

Melody understood Clovis’ intention as well. He was planning to escape, but because he didn’t order the retreat right away, it meant Clovis planned to cause a massive mess on the battlefield.

’It looks like we failed to kill anyone from the enemy’s side...’ Melody muttered while looking at the map. The first thing she did was to arrange the movement of the three Tier 7 humans, which meant moving them away from their original targets.

*Roar!* A powerful roar echoed across the forest.

"!!!" Melody clicked her tongue. She had to speed up.
