CHAPTER 884: MUTATED HUMANS

Christina could finally understand Clovis’ reason for asking for the method. If the power exerted just by learning about it was this high, what would happen if he mastered this technique?

At the same time, it was clear that Clovis was manifesting a killing intent, meaning it was related to the Abyss State instead of Another World Mall.

She could see why Mara Leverstrike was hailed as a human who had the strongest offensive power. This was the power Clovis could wield as a Tier 6 human. Of course, with the help of the item, he might be considered Tier 7, but this kind of power could only be defined as Tier 8.

What if Clovis became a Tier 9 in the future? What kind of power would he wield?

Back then, Mara actually cut down so many buildings in her path, even though it was just the residual power after she struck Kayne.

This was the power of the Abyss State.

Still, there was one concern. When she looked at the killing intent, Clovis actually released his killing intent uncontrollably. Because he had just learned this technique, he could only release it continuously without being able to contain it or coat his sword with it.

As a result, that killing intent would drain his power away quickly. If he couldn’t end this battle quickly, Clovis would use up the Abyss State.

At the same time, Clovis could feel that the killing intent was invading his mind. Even though he had suppressed them after the training, forcefully releasing the killing intent was also forcing him to go berserk.

It was no wonder Mara told him this was the second phase. If he didn’t have the basic right, he would have gone berserk because of all the killing intent.

’I need to end this battle quickly...’ Clovis muttered. He could probably hold this power for five minutes, so he had to make it count.

Unfortunately, the situation didn’t seem to be favoring him.

Suddenly, they heard a loud trumpet sound echoing from the other side of the battlefield.

"!!!" Clovis couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows while turning his head around.

’Not good. I found people approaching." Melody gasped. "This direction... Don’t tell me! Rin, examine the situation, please!"

"On it!" Rin hurriedly jumped over a few buildings before hiding behind one of the concrete walls. She could finally see what was going on. "We have a problem here. There are a large number of mutated humans coming in our direction."

"Why? How? I don’t think we have made enough ruckus for them to come. Besides, the distance between this place and theirs is far enough." Melody panicked.

"I don’t know. However, I have found at least four Tier 6 humans coming. More importantly, there is a big guy who seems to be their leader, a Tier 7 mutated human. I don’t notice anyone else."

Considering the deer was also a Tier 7 mutated beast, it wasn’t weird that the leader of the settlement was also a Tier 7. They both kept each other in check.

However, no one could tell why the mutated humans were coming. They could help them or attack them.

If they were moving too late, they would be surrounded.

Judging from their usual behavior, it was clear that the mutated humans would most likely kill them as well.

They might come here to kill the Tier 7 deer for themselves. Rin suddenly noticed something. "Are they coming because of the three people we killed not long ago?"

"!!!" Melody didn’t expect this possibility. However, it made sense. The problem was that they were quite far from their settlement. They had to spread their people in all directions to even find their trace.

But for some reason, the mutated humans could actually track them this fast.

"What are we going to do?" Rin asked while drawing her bow. "Should I fire at them once as a warning?"

"It’s reckless. There are about 60 beasts left on both sides. I don’t know the exact number of the mutated humans, but from the looks of it, it will exceed 200 people." Melody clicked her tongue.

"We’ll engage them as well." Clovis suddenly made a decision. It was surprising to find out that Clovis actually chose to fight. Their situation already looked bad enough just fighting the beasts, but if they also had to fight all these mutated humans, there was no telling what would happen.

"Are you insane? It’s better if we escape. If their target is to kill the beast, we can wait for them and steal it from them. We know that you want to finish this mission for that information, but we can’t afford to be reckless right now." Melody refuted him.

"No. Erwin. I want you to bring all those beasts toward the mutated humans. The same applies to Luci and Ragna. There might not be many beasts anymore, but they’re still useful.

"Aileen, your job is to assassinate all Tier 5 humans. Once they’re done, continue to Tier 4 human.

"Twins, focus on their Tier 6 humans. We will use the Tier 6 beast to wreak havoc on the battlefield."

Clovis took out some bite-sized food and tossed it to Jay and Christina. "Distribute it. We’ll use it to overwhelm them."

Jay was startled that Clovis would be going all out here, but it didn’t seem they had much choice. "What about you?"

"I will handle this Tier 7 deer myself." Clovis’ expression turned solemn. "Kanaria, you will stay with me. Don’t let any beast or human disturb me."

"..." Melody couldn’t really object to this decision. On the one hand, the situation was indeed dangerous. On the other hand, if Clovis was willing to use the food and drugs to go all out, it meant he was serious about wiping them out.

Christina, who had been handling the deer’s attack the whole time, couldn’t really ignore Clovis’ new technique. He might have to overexert himself in this battle, but their chances of winning against both mutated beasts and mutated humans were not that low either.

If they didn’t deal with the mutated humans, they would be leaving a witness here. The beasts couldn’t speak, but the mutated humans could.

Clovis didn’t want to deal with this problem in the future, so he had to finish it here.

Christina and Jay’s gazes met as they exchanged nods.
