Another World Mall-Chapter 694: Entering the Vault

"Kh!" Clovis gritted his teeth. It took him everything just to stop this attack. But it looked like the Tier 7 beast would overpower him soon.

Meanwhile, the Tier 5 was actually strong enough to completely stop Christina. Although it was due to her momentum, she would still need some time before she could recover from the attack and somehow turn the situation around.

But before that could happen, all the beasts would have surrounded them and eliminated them.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

The beasts followed them in a much more orderly manner.

At this rate, they would truly die. Clovis decided to let go of his short sword, which ultimately allowed the Tier 7 beast to overpower him. It struck the long sword to the ground and slashed Clovis in the chest.

"Kh!" Clovis gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. Even though his hand was shaking, he still grabbed the grenade on the back.

"!!!" The Tier 7 beast was surprised by the grenade and hurriedly moved back.

"As expected, you're truly smart enough." Clovis grinned.

In that instant, the beast realized he had been tricked. Clovis pulled out the pin and tossed it toward the rhino instead.

*Boom!*

*Roar!* The rhino's body tilted to the side.

Clovis shouted. "Run, Christina!"

There was no time. Before they could catch up, they had to reach the exit.

Christina noticed that Clovis was running in a certain direction. Without hesitation, she followed him at her full speed. However, they were still in the middle of a field within the military facility. There was a wall in front of them.

But Clovis didn't care. He simply jumped toward the window and broke it with his body. By utilizing his Perfect State, he could see everything slowly. He expanded his body as much as possible so that he would brush away all shards from the window.

It would create a gap for Christina to also enter without worrying that a small shard was left behind and hurt her.

Christina followed right behind as they managed to go back inside the corridor, this time taking a shortcut to the exit.

"Let's go!" Clovis shouted again while dashing toward the exit.

*Bam!*

The rhino blasted the wall to open up the path for the rest of the beasts. But it didn't matter. They still hadn't caught up to Clovis and Christina.

Clovis tossed a grenade toward them, which would slow them down a bit more. Meanwhile, Christina kicked the exit.

In that instant, they saw Kanaria and Jay standing by the Essence Bank's entrance. Kanaria was shooting the beasts around the entrance while Jay was responsible for taking down the rest of the beasts she didn't manage to kill.

Meanwhile, Aileen had already entered the building and created some barricade that Kanaria could use later when they retreated. Of course, Melody had created a guide for their route.

"!!!" Kanaria noticed the door had opened. She waved her hand. "Hurry up!"

"Clovis!" Christina nodded.

"Yeah! You go first!"

Christina led in front, this time with Clovis following right behind her.

Still, there was no way the beasts would let them go. The rhino created another path by using its body. Some beasts followed his route, while the others used the same path Clovis and Christina took earlier.

At that moment, Kanaria shouted. "Kaboom!"

"!!!" Both Clovis and Christina widened their eyes as their instincts kicked in almost at the same time.

Christina, on the front, suddenly turned around and let Clovis run into her embrace before she raised both shields to protect their back.

*Boom!*

A massive explosion occurred. It turned out Kanaria had laid down so many explosives right at the exit. There was so much that it tore down the wall, stretching over twenty meters on both sides.

The blast made them grit their teeth because of the shock wave and sound.

However, Clovis prioritized Christina first by closing her ears.

Then, the shock wave blasted them away. As soon as the sound passed, Clovis shifted his hand, protecting the back of her head and her back before he flipped them around, using his own body as a cushion for their fall.

"Kh!" Clovis was tattered.

"Clovis!" Christina panicked and shouted his name, but Clovis' ears were ringing badly so that he could barely hear what she was saying.

There was no way Clovis could make her worry about him. He said, "Get up. We still have to run! We don't have time!"

There were so many things she wanted to say, but it wasn't the time for it. She rose from the ground and helped Clovis up. Both of them continued running toward the Essence Bank.

"Kanaria, Jay! Let's retreat. Where's Aileen?"

"Inside!" Kanaria shouted while Jay pointed inside as though he noticed his ears' condition.

Clovis nodded. "Let's go inside and retreat to the vault. I don't know what the situation is there, but we should go there right now. Jay, coordinate with Melody now. We will try to hold the beasts back until she's ready!"

Jay nodded. It appeared his condition was much worse than he thought, considering he even delegated him for that kind of task. Either way, he had to do it.

The moment the four of them entered, they saw the arrow in their skyglasses left behind by Melody. There was an additional barricade from all kinds of things Aileen could find on the way.

They traveled past all of them. From time to time, they turned around. Clovis changed to his pistol and worked together with Kanaria to overwhelm them with their firepower.

Meanwhile, Jay focused on coordinating with Melody. Christina helped the team by grabbing the remaining grenades both Clovis and Kanaria had while keeping her instincts sharp so that she could react to any unexpected attack.

Although it was hard to stop them, this was the Essence Bank, the toughest building inside the city.

Even the rhino would have a hard time destroying the building, so they ultimately managed to retreat without any successful attack from both the rhino and the Tier 7 beast.

After a long retreat that lasted 7 minutes but felt like 7 hours, they finally found the vault, with Melody waving her hand and Erwin preparing his threads.

All of them rushed inside as Erwin laid down the last wire and entered too. Aileen and Ragna closed the door while Melody locked it.
