Chapter 443 Fighting the Assassin

"!!!" The assassin noticed the different aura coming from Clovis. He didn't understand what was happening, but Clovis was giving him a sense of danger despite being a Tier 2 human. The assassin spun its body, avoiding Reolf's bite.

Even though Clovis didn't want to rely on this ability, he had no choice since this was the only trump card that he could use to match the strength of a Tier 5 human.

The assassin gritted his teeth. There were simply too many incomprehensible things around Clovis. 'What is going on? It feels like he has gotten much stronger. There is also that wolf… Isn't that a Dire Wolf? But you're not supposed to be able to tame a beast?

'How did he do it? No, did he somehow manage to do it with the secret of the Hacfield family? Wait a minute. His strength only increased when that wolf came out. Don't tell me… he has the unique quality of a Tier 9?

'If that's true, that means his quality is actually allowing him to control a beast and gets strengthened by their presence.'

The assassins could somehow imagine what would happen in the future. If Clovis was able to do it, he could summon an army of beasts to flatten everything. The fact that Reolf was Tier 2 showed that Clovis was able to tame a beast of the same tier. If he somehow grew to Tier 9, he could actually tame a Tier 9 beast.

The assassin shuddered in fear. Clovis couldn't be considered one person anymore. They had to take into account his beast.

'He has to be dealt with today. I have to capture him and force the secret out of him. If he confirms my suspicion, we have to kill him no matter what.'

The assassin charged at Clovis.

Reolf looped around while Clovis came straight at him.

Both Clovis and the assassin waved their weapons at the same time, producing a loud clicking sound.

However, even with the perfect state, Clovis was still getting pushed back.

Reolf took this chance to pounce on the assassin.

The assassin was forced to use his full strength against Clovis. As a result, he could only tilt his body to the side before elbowing Reolf.

Reolf scratched the arm before using that arm to launch himself in a different direction.

"!!!" The assassin was shocked once again. 'What is this strength? This is not what a Tier 2 beast is supposed to have. No, wait. His unique ability should be a commander class or something. After all, the people in his group have become much stronger than when they're supposed to be without him.'

The assassin moved toward the wolf first. At the very least, the wolf was weaker than Clovis even if it had the strength equal to a Tier 4 beast.

Reolf bit the dagger, but that was only a distraction. The assassin pulled Reolf toward him and kicked him.

"Guu.." Reolf let out a high-pitched groan while bouncing several times on the ground before crashing into the minibus.

Clovis gritted his teeth, but his perfect state was already active, so he didn't feel a boost of strength anymore.

He slashed the assassin from behind, but the latter managed to spin his body and strike Clovis with his dagger.

Clovis blocked the dagger with only his long sword, but instead of having the entire body getting pushed back, Clovis' left foot stomped the ground, turning into an anchor.

As a result, only the right side of his body got knocked back. Meanwhile, Clovis struck the assassin with his short sword, impaling his arm.

Clovis thought this would become an important wound that would change the course of the battle. To his surprise, there was a reason why this assassin was being chosen to kill him.

Even though he didn't have his second arm, his main hand was still skilled enough to throw the dagger in his hand at the last second.

If not for Clovis hitting his right arm, that dagger might end up grazing his neck, which would make the wound even more fatal. Fortunately, the dagger stabbed his left shoulder.

Before Clovis could react, the assassin once again surpassed his imagination. He kicked Clovis' stomach before that foot moved up. The thick sole of his boot actually hit the thin crossguard of his dagger. As a result, the dagger was being pulled out as Clovis was launched away.

The assassin hurriedly turned around, prioritizing to kill Reolf first. Clovis let go of his short sword and shot the assassin.

His instinct kicked in as he threw his body to the side, moving as quickly as possible that Clovis couldn't aim properly.

He even aligned himself with Reolf so that if Clovis missed, he would hit Reolf.

"Tsk!" Clovis gritted his teeth and hurriedly chased after him.

Reolf waved both paws to stop the assassin, but the latter skillfully kicked both paws in succession. As a result, Reolf showed a small opening, which allowed the assassin to sweep in and slash his body.

The wound might be shallow, but it ran from the neck to halfway his body.

As if knowing that the clash would result in this wound, Reolf actually landed on the ground and kicked the assassin on the back.

"!!!" The assassin crashed into the minibus with his momentum. It was quite hard that the minibus tilted almost 45 degrees.

After that, Reolf regrouped with Clovis.

Clovis was concerned about Reolf, but it seemed that Reolf was still going strong.

"Reolf. We'll be sticking to each other now. Since he can't kill us, his goal is to kill you and capture me. We are not familiar with each other's fighting style, but I'll completely trust you, Reolf," said Clovis with a solemn expression.

Reolf was slightly surprised that Clovis trusted him that much. At the same time, it also showed that the enemy was so strong that he really had no choice.

"Trust, huh? Do you think that is enough to stop me?"
