Another World Mall-Chapter 681: Jay and Kanaria

"Raaa!" The eryops groaned as it endured Kanaria's relentless attack. However, not a single bullet penetrated its skin, so the eryops could still continue onward, choosing to abandon Clovis and the others.

He let Clovis and the others fight all the beasts around the area.

Meanwhile, the eryops crawled toward Jay.

"Hmph!" Jay strengthened his grip and struck the eryops from below.

The eryops skillfully lowered its head and used its hard jaw to block the attack. After that, he stomped Jay, forcing the latter to jump away to avoid it.

When Kanaria ran out of bullets, the eryops took the time she needed to reload to reach Jay.

It would look like the eryops wanted to kill Jay first, but it suddenly halted its step and turned its head toward Kanaria instead.

He then sent forth his long tongue.

Jay managed to react, albeit barely. He struck the tongue, shifting the eryops' tongue just for a bit.

"…" Kanaria glanced at the side before taking a step forward, tossing a grenade into the eryops' mouth.

While retracting its tongue, the eryops looked down to block the blast, but Jay was already there and struck him, knocking his head back up.

Boom!

The grenade knocked the head down. As if knowing it would happen, Jay had already gone to the side right after he hit the eryops' jaw, so the head didn't crush him.

'It doesn't seem I use enough power to injure this eryops. I thought about replicating Clovis' attack, but this one has a tougher skin, so I guess I can't really hold back for this fight,' thought Jay.

The eryops sensed a threat coming from Jay. It hurriedly stood up and shifted its head toward him, but Jay, using his fastest speed, reached the front leg of the eryops and struck it with all his might. The ranged attack had been used, amplifying the power even further.

*Zap!*

A red line appeared on the eryops' leg before it burst, widening the wound and causing the blood to spurt out.

"Raaa!" The eryops screamed in pain. However, Jay's attack was too shallow to cut the entire foot.

As a result, the eryops was able to hit Jay with his big foot. Jay withstood this attack because this foot was injured and there was another opportunity for him to cut this foot.

However, he might have been too fixated on this foot so much that he didn't pay attention to his surroundings.

"Jay!" Kanaria warned him at the last moment.

"!!!" Jay snapped and widened his eyes. In the corner of his vision was a tail swinging directly at him.

It hit him and launched him away.

"Kh…" Jay gritted his teeth after bouncing several times on the ground. If not for the last warning and the items from Clovis, he would have suffered more injuries. 'I was careless. Fortunately, it didn't seem to crack.'

Jay could feel the excruciating pain in his hand, which might loosen his grip and cause him to lose a bit of his power.

Even so, he had to return because Kanaria was in danger.

Kanaria, on the other hand, looked at the incoming eryops with a solemn expression, noticing something.

"I'm not always your support, you know?" Kanaria smiled. She took out a small case from her bag and activated it.

This case turned into a giant sniper rifle for her. She then tossed two grenades toward the eryops, forcing the latter to stop for a moment to withstand the blast.

But in that one second, Kanaria aimed at the injured foot and shot it.

Bam!

The Soul Weapon produced a loud sound, which was amplified with the echo that this tunnel provided.

It almost gave Kanaria a heart attack and ruptured her eardrums.

Still, the power was apparent.

With such a powerful bullet, the injured foot was torn off completely, causing the eryops to lose its balance and tilt to one side.

"!!!" Jay couldn't help but widen his eyes. Kanaria was supposed to be the support, but she was actually planning to be the main show.

Kanaria turned her head toward him with a smile.

Jay couldn't help but feel an invisible hand clutching his heart. That smile was telling, 'The Jay I know is much better than this, right?'

Jay gritted his teeth and stopped holding back. He utilized every bit of his strength while using his fastest speed toward the other front leg.

Kanaria, on the other hand, switched back to her regular rifle and started suppressing the eryops.

As a result, the eryops had no chance to stop Jay, who almost reached it.

Jay's eyes flashed as he carried all the momentum he had and leaped into the air, swinging his sword so that all the momentum in his body would be transferred into his blade. Then he used that power to amplify his ranged attack before striking the other front leg.

The slash was swift to the point where it didn't look like it harmed the eryops. However, the next second, the power of that slash erupted and severed the entire leg.

"Raaaa!" The eryops roared, trying to endure the pain and use the last bit of its energy to kill Jay.

Kanaria just smiled as though she believed in Jay's power. She switched back to her Soul Weapon and aimed for its jaw.

Bam!

Another shot was fired, hitting the eryops' jaw. Not expecting another bullet, the eryops could only endure the attack that actually tore off a portion of its jaw.

"!!!" Jay noticed what Kanaria was trying to do. He swiftly looped around and returned to the front of the eryops.

The eryops lifted up its head, trying to smash Jay with his upper jaw.

Jay took a deep breath, recalling that one stationary strike he unleashed against his opponent. The slash he had trained for tens of thousands of times.

"This is my Splitting Slash." Jay swung his blade downwards as the ranged attack erupted and traveled directly inside the eryops' body and ultimately passed him.

"!!!" The eryops widened its eyes but couldn't do anything more because its vision was suddenly split and fell in a different direction.

It died… split in two.
