Another World Mall-Chapter 605: Worse
On the surface, Erwin leaped into the air while stretching his hands, releasing all the threads around his fingers. All those threads grasped the Tier 6 beast’s paws, stopping its movement.
Then, Aileen sped up, charging head-on. The beast thought it could still overpower Erwin a bit and used that little movement to stop Aileen. Even though Aileen looked blurry to him due to her unique talent, he could still sense her perfectly fine.
That was why the beast released everything he got at the last moment, pulling the threads and making a small movement to stop Aileen’s movement.
Unfortunately for the beast, it would have worked on anyone else except for them. Aileen tried to avoid the beast’s paws despite being fully aware it would make her miss.
However, instead of going too far, Aileen also dodged with minimum movement. She then stretched her hand to one of the threads and pulled herself back.
"!!!" The beast was stunned. The next thing he realized, Aileen had returned and struck his left side a couple of times.
The wounds spurted out blood, causing the beast to wail in pain.
Once the beast was struck, it also noticed that something was going on in his body. It all started with the fuzziness he experienced.
If he looked closely, Aileen’s short swords were actually covered in poison. For a Tier 6 beast, Aileen preferred to use a paralyze poison, which might not be enough to stop it completely but is enough to slow it down.
With the beast unable to fight to its fullest potential, Aileen and Erwin hurriedly surrounded him.
The Tier 6 beast focused on Aileen, who injured him. However, Erwin annoyed the beast by circling his body with threads before pulling him back, causing the beast’s body to tilt to the side.
At this rate, Aileen would strike him again, which would worsen his injuries. That was why the alien turned around at the last moment and struck Erwin instead.
Erwin simply smiled and withstood the attack with his power and equipment. No matter how annoying Erwin was, that was the last thing one should do when fighting these two.
After all, Erwin, who was usually arrogant and wanted to be in the spotlight, was always willing to give Aileen the spotlight when they fought together.
And this time was the same.
The moment the beast focused on him, Aileen reached the beast and struck it multiple times.
Roar!
The beast was screaming in pain. It uncontrollably wriggled around, trying to shake both of them off.
Erwin skillfully attached the wires to the trees to restrict the beast’s movement before stomping the beast.
The beast spat a mouthful of blood as Erwin’s foot landed on its belly. Then, Aileen came for the head and stabbed the beast.
The first sword was blocked by the mouth, so she planted the second sword lower, which was its neck.
"!!!" The beast almost lost consciousness because of that injury. Its lung was filled with blood, which was fatal even for a Tier 6 beast.
The beast struggled a few times, but Erwin and Aileen simply kept him on the spot, letting the beast lose too much blood and succumb to his injury.
It took them two more minutes, but the Tier 6 beast finally stopped moving and fell to the ground.
"Ha… We did it." Erwin smirked. He couldn’t help but look at the surroundings. Their battlefield was a mess. The Tier 6 beast was strong enough to create multiple craters that caused his net to crumble.
However, it was fortunate that the trees around were still thick enough to cover everyone’s eyes.
With this, they wouldn’t have to worry about his identity being found out.
"We have killed it. Finally." Aileen jumped to Erwin as the latter caught her and hugged her. "Yep. We did it."
Aileen smiled. This was the first time she fought against a Tier 6 beast. She personally thought it would be impossible to kill a Tier 6 beast by herself. After all, the gap between Tier 5 and Tier 6 was huge. Even Clovis couldn’t do it if not for Christina.
The fact that they were able to kill it meant they were not inferior in any way compared to Clovis and Christina’s pair.
Even though they wanted to celebrate their victory, Melody’s voice suddenly echoed on their radio.
"You two lovebirds. It’s good that you can kill that Tier 6 beast, but get back out there. There are still a lot of beasts over there, so get your asses there and help. We’re risking our lives underground, so save your flirting for later. Go, before I’m angry."
"…" Aileen and Erwin looked at each other with a shocked expression before chuckling.
Both of them just replied playfully. "Yes, Ma’am."
Then they headed outside the woods, which was immediately noticed by almost everyone in their group.
"!!!" The one who was shocked the most was actually Gillian.
’What? Did they abandon their duty? No. I didn’t see any Tier 6 beast behind them. Did they kill it? So fast?
’No. It was impossible for both of them to kill a Tier 6 beast that fast. I couldn’t believe it.
’They were not strong enough to do it. That was right. They must have trapped that beast somewhere.
’That was the reason for them to come out so quickly. I would still be the only one who could kill the Tier 6 beast.’
Gillian was in denial even though the proof was right before his eyes. He just didn’t want to believe it because it was the same as recognizing his inferior skills. No. He even blamed the people around him because they couldn’t support him better, even though they had done their best with the current situation.
However, no matter the situation on the surface, it was incomparable to what Christina, Lucifania, and Melody were experiencing underground.
"Clovis…" Christina gasped while gulping down.
Clovis was standing on a small mountain of corpses while looking down on the rest of the beasts as well as the three of them like they were his prey. His eyes were oozing bloodlust to the point where Christina broke out in a cold sweat.
The situation had just gone from bad to worse.
