Another World Mall-Chapter 962: New Member

"!!!" Clovis was a bit startled by this revelation. Before going to the assembly, Melody had briefed them about their possible opponents, including Angelia.

But according to the report, Angelia’s pseudo unique ability was an ability that allowed her to blend with nature. This would allow her to hide like Aileen in a slightly different way.

So, he didn’t understand why Angelia claimed he was under her influence the whole time.

Angelia explained, "My pseudo unique ability is blending with nature. However, people believe this only works for me as a fighter. I can hide my presence from other people. That is true, but that’s not all.

"This pseudo unique ability allows me to adjust myself to the environment around me. That includes humans too."

"!!!" Clovis suddenly realized something after her explanation.

Angelia spelled his doubt aloud, "Why did you accept my warning about Jun when you were supposed to be wary of me?"

That was right. Since he was wary of Angelia, as she was supposed to be his opponent, he was actually convinced that Angelia was telling the truth. Of course, he asked Aileen to follow Jun first, but that wasn’t supposed to happen in the first place. Instead, his usual action would be to follow her first to figure out whether she was playing tricks or not.

It turned out to be her pseudo unique ability. On the one hand, the ability didn’t look that powerful. In the end, it would be another Aileen, which they probably didn’t need.

On the other hand, this was actually the ability Clovis desired before coming to the assembly. The power to convince people.

He previously asked Hana to get a lobbyist, but with her power, she could become one herself.

Even Hana would find her ability extremely annoying.

Still, it wasn’t as if Clovis could reveal his desire right away. He said, "Revealing your ability to me just makes me even more wary of you. Do you think I will accept your proposal like this now that I know you’re influencing me?"

"Maybe. However, if you accept me, I will follow your orders. In addition, I will help you here as well."

Clovis squinted his eyes. He felt a bit pressured because of these two Tier 8 humans fighting him, so he couldn’t think much about this proposal.

So, he planned to cut this negotiation short by going straight to the point.

"I still don’t understand why you want to join the Libation Fiesta."

"To put it simply, I want to stand on the winning side."

It was flattering to know that he was on the winning side. He didn’t know which battle she was talking about, but it didn’t change the meaning.

Melody was frowning. She had been wary of this person from the beginning, but the fact that Clovis didn’t reject her right away meant there was a chance for Clovis to accept her.

And her worries came true when Clovis stated, "If you join us, there are four conditions. First, no secrets from the Libation Fiesta are to be revealed to other people, including your parents.

"Second, you are going to move in with us, meaning that you have to leave your own country.

"Third, accept Reolf and the others. Fourth, prepare to die at any moment."

"I am an orphan. Even my affiliated group has been using me the whole time, so breaking away from them is what I want as well. If you give me just one week after this assembly, I should be able to quit and join you. So, the first and second conditions are easy for me.

"The third is not a problem either. I’m rather curious about them, and I can see you treat them like family. As for the fourth one... That is just the risk you need to take when you choose to fight the beasts."

Since Melody had checked her basic information, it was true that Angelia was an orphan. However, he didn’t know about the second one.

Nevertheless, this should be enough for a trial run.

So, Clovis said, "Remember that if there is something false in your statement today, I won’t hesitate to kick you out or kill you if necessary. You know I have that ability."

Angelia smiled as if she had been waiting for this statement. "Understood. If you accept me, please give me an order, Captain."

"Kill them all, starting with the ones before me."

There was also a chance that Clovis took back his words, but Angelia knew that Clovis wasn’t that type of person after a few exchanges between them.

So, Angelia pulled her bow and fired at the Tier 8 man.

"!!!" The man halted his step and struck the incoming arrow instead.

Jun and Clovis exchanged blows as both of them saw the arrows.

The bombardment of these arrows started again.

"Kh." Jun gritted his teeth.

"Move back," said Angelia.

Clovis took one step back, separating himself from Jun. After that, an arrow flew straight at Jun.

"Haaa!" Jun shouted and struck down the arrow. It was not a challenge for him, but this created an opportunity for Clovis.

He first swung his long sword to cut Jun, but the latter managed to shift his blade at the last moment, blocking the attack.

Jun was pushed back, but Clovis sped up and swung his short sword from a different direction.

’Not good.’ Jun panicked as he tried to toss his body away, but it was too late. The short sword sliced his arm. "Aaaargggh!"

Jun screamed out loud while jumping back.

Another arrow came, forcing Jun to take it. Clovis wanted to take this opportunity to cut down another arm, but the Tier 8 man had arrived, stopping him.

Nevertheless, the balance of this fight had changed the moment Angelia stepped in.

Her bow mastery was definitely better than Rin’s. Her power was slightly above Rin’s, but that was simply because she didn’t wear any items from Another World Mall. Clovis also didn’t intend to give those items to her until he could trust her completely.

Unfortunately, this battle would elevate to a whole new level when Angelia suddenly reported, "Incoming! Beasts are coming from the north."

As he expected, the Prophet would definitely use the beasts to cause chaos. He thought those beasts would be coming for Absalom, but it looked like they chose to bring them here instead since Clovis was quite far away from the rest of the group.

What he didn’t expect was a report from Melody. "Another incoming. Humans from the south, most likely, the fighters from the country that received the area."

"!!!"
