Chapter 322: Throw (1/2)

After killing the group of cats, they went deeper and pierced through the enemy ranks. Because of the stabilization due to magic that had been implemented to the gun, Evan managed to shoot pretty well, especially without a recoil every time he shot.

Although he could say that when they fought against many opponents Evan's accuracy decreased by at least thirty percent, he still managed to aim at their heads with half the amount of his bullet.

Both of them managed to synchronize their movements during this time, allowing better cooperation between the two.

Kai could see a good future in Evan's marksmanship and gave his confirmation after killing around five hundred beasts. As they expected, it took them a few hours to kill this much, and the sky had turned orange, signaling their retreat.

”Kai,” Evan called him while looking at the numerous magical beasts charging at them. ”We need to retreat. I am sure the beasts won't follow us after around two kilometers.”

Kai thought for a moment but couldn't answer him. He listened to the area and noticed there was something big coming their way.

”This is going to be a problem…” Kai furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the dust kicked up by that dangerous beast. ”I think we can't really retreat.”

Evan also noticed that, but he thought it was only because a group of magical beasts came together, but it seemed it was something different. ”What kind of beast will we face?”

”I am not sure.” Kai shook his head. ”I only know that it is big… Very big.”

”Should we retreat? If this is something hard, I think it's best to not be near many of their beasts.”

Kai nodded in agreement. ”Yes. I think we should retreat for five hundred meters. But it's best to let the magical beasts see us first before running away.”

”Alright.” Evan agreed while shooting any magical beasts that tried to charge at them until they could see a huge animal coming from the front.

The animal had a long, slender body, short legs, and a bushy tail. They also had a long neck and a small head with a flattened forehead and rounded ears.

The top of the head, the back and flanks, and the tail had coarse black guard hairs with buff-colored tips over a softer undercoat, giving them a grizzled greyish color. The feet were webbed, with five toes ending in sharp, curved, claws.

”This is Grison!” Evan recognized it. ”But considering it's around this area, it should be a Lesser Grison.”

”If I am not wrong, they have a smaller size compared to Greater Grison, right? How big that thing is?” Kai frowned. ”I am afraid this one is different from the rest.”

”You bet.” He nodded. ”For now, let's retreat. I will provide cover fire for us too while you maintain our course.”

Kai nodded back as they turned around and ran.

To their surprise, a roar echoed from behind them as they instantly recognized whose roar it was without even looking. The sound came diagonally from above, so it was easy to recognize it.

It was thirty meters long with a height of around ten meters tall, so it was normal that Kai and Evan decided to retreat upon seeing this.

But the moment they heard the roar, Kai immediately understood what kind of beast this grison was.

”He is one of the leaders.” He warned Evan beside him.

”!!!” Evan turned around, shot a couple of bullets, and reloaded while running again. In that instant, he could see the difference in the movement of magical beasts.

”I don't feel safe in five hundred meters. We shall go back for one kilometer before killing these guys.” Kai contemplated.

Evan only looked at him when he was like this and kept shooting the beasts that tried to chase them.

”There are around two hundred beasts in our surroundings that move alongside that grison. I will handle the big one while hindering the rest. I want you to focus on the weaker ones first.” Kai commanded.

”Are you sure? If we kill the boss first, their movement will be in disorder, you know.”

”Nope. I don't think it will. Do you remember that they are supposed to have multiple boss class monsters?” Kai asked.

”Ah!” Evan fell silent as he realized what was going on. ”The beasts will simply go according to their original plan, huh.”

”Yeah. That's why we are going to eliminate them here and now.” Kai nodded.

”One more thing. Do we need to hold the fort?”

This was a good question. Kai alone knew that he couldn't stop the advance of this boss monster and hundreds of magical beasts. Hence, he would be reckless the moment he decided to hold the fort. Meanwhile, they could keep making an assurance that no beasts would come their way from either the Chile Army or New Army.

He ended up shaking his head. ”No, but the limit is two kilometers. During that period, we need to annihilate the entire group.”

Evan thought for a moment and nodded. ”This is killing me. I only have one hundred more bullets, you know.”

”Yeah.” He nodded. ”I never expected that our combination became that good during this period, so I was a bit too excited to see the continuation.”
