Another World Mall-Chapter 964: Switch Target

"Aaahhh!"

"Aaahhh!"

"Help!"

The situation became chaotic for the enemy. This was the first time they experienced a bombardment in such an absurd way.

Rea could actually imitate a bombardment. There could only be one reason. Rea possessed an intelligence surpassing that of a normal beast.

Or Clovis had simply succeeded in training her tactically. Either way, it dealt quite big damage to their opponents.

The Prophet's subordinates could see what was going on. At this rate, they would be the ones losing to Clovis even with all their preparations. It was something they couldn't afford to have.

They had the same thought. Their leader, the man whose arm Angelia had taken earlier, gave an order, "We have to resort to that."

"That…" The rest of the people knew what he was talking about. However, it looked like they had no other choice.

"Kill them!"

The moment the order was given, the movement of their group changed drastically.

The people charged forward and struck the beasts really hard, disregarding their own safety.

"!!!" Kaen, who was the closest to them, was the first to notice what was going on. "Something is weird."

All of a sudden, the advance of their enemy became far fiercer. They broke through the beast's rank that was supposed to be the buffer that screened them out.

A lot of them were injured, but when his people attacked them, these enemies actually chose to let their attack succeed.

The people were happy at first, but even though they succeeded, the damage was not fatal enough to kill them.

As a result, the enemy took their opportunity to attack them.

Taken aback, Kaen saw his subordinates being killed left and right.

"What?!" Kaen dropped his jaw. "Not good!"

He rushed to the front to help his people, but the enemy took this opportunity to attack him as well.

"Kh." Kaen had seen their intention, so he managed to avoid a severe injury, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of lunacy. "What's going on?"

Melody watched everything behind the screen and hurriedly informed everyone, "Watch out for the enemies. They're actually letting you hit them so that they can kill you."

A lot of people were startled, but not Gerald and the other shadow guards.

Gerald muttered, "Even after all these years, their style hasn't changed."

One shadow guard nodded in acknowledgment. "They will sacrifice themselves to drag the enemy down. We were having a hard time fighting against them back then…"

The Hacfield family suffered a huge loss as several of their officers got taken down in a similar way.

Gerald announced, "If you see one of them, try to fight them with one more person. They are lunatics, but that also means they're easy to kill. Try to kill as many people as possible and regroup. Their targets must be either me or Clovis, so keep that in mind."

With that announcement, they understood a bit more about how to approach this kind of lunatic.

As Gerald said, killing them became easier. This wouldn't result in any casualties on their side as well.

The biggest problem was the fact that they had to focus on several people and let the others pass. Since their number was originally even or slightly above them, and since they had to pair up to challenge them, that meant they targeted fewer people than their original plan.

As a result, those people were able to slip past them and head straight to Clovis.

Clovis had already prepared for this attack fortunately. He was aware of the situation thanks to the story from his grandfather.

Clovis immediately gave his order. "Work together with someone and strike down as many people as possible. Remember, they're aiming to kill us and they will not stop until they die. It's better to kill less if that means you're not injured. If their target is me, then it's better."

Clovis had instructed Melody beforehand. Melody immediately arranged it according to Clovis' plan.

However, there was one person that was working alone. And that was Aileen.

That was right. Since they were coming for them, Aileen could loop around them and strike them from behind.

"Here they come!" Clovis shouted.

Ragna put his shield forward and intercepted one of them. The guy tried to overpower Ragna, but to no avail. Then Jay came from the side and struck him down with one powerful swing.

The same thing was happening with other members.

Luci and Reolf worked together. Erwin captured someone so that Rea could dive and hit that person hard.

Christina was standing alone as she used her Provoke ability on three people.

She was ready to receive them, but Aileen actually simplified her defense by assassinating one of them from behind.

"Gah!"

It was only a Tier 7 human, but it was a huge help for Christina as she could focus on pulling the two Tier 8 humans.

With Christina's unique ability and Aileen picking them from a different direction, it would just be a matter of time before they started falling.

In the meantime, Clovis was moving back as if he was trying to lure them away from the ground.

Kanaria, Rin, and Angelia were already preparing for their weapons. Once they moved far enough from the rest, they could release a barrage of attacks and overwhelm them with their firepower.

However, Gerald actually saw the flaw of this strategy. It was good to create a killing zone, but Clovis had overdone one thing.

"Not good. Don't go too far!" Gerald shouted.

That was right. Clovis had gone too far from the rest of his team. In other words, the enemies could simply switch their target from Clovis to his teammates.

Once that happened, the Libation Fiesta would suffer massive damage.

There were still at least five Tier 8 humans left, even though they had taken down most of the Tier 7 humans.

And the enemies also realized this advantage they had.

Without hesitation, the leader declared out loud, "Stop and kill these people from the Libation Fiesta."
