BXBX NOVEL Chapter 83 Almost End
Luccio is now inside a train car. His gaze headed outside the window where he could see the stars passing by so fast. Until the stars just look like a passing light.
He gripped his fist tightly. Everything that had happened previously made Luccio feel anger that he had never felt before while being the World Master supervising the Selection Stage.
All of that started from the previous Selection Stage which failed miserably. He recommended a Candidate who passed the Selection Stage to a Demon King.
But suddenly something happened and somehow, that human escaped from the Demon King and disappeared.
Luccio, as the party that recommended her, must bear the costs incurred by the Demon King with his Tokens.
Because of that he was broke and had to buy a Selection Stage system which was not much different from the trash.
He shook his head while letting out a long breath.
"Why is this happening to me?"
Lucci thought as if his bad luck happened in succession. He even got comrades like Agatha here. A World Master who, even if she had carried out duties for several hundred years, was still considered a novice.
Luccio remembered that she was the cheerful and chatty type of girl before. Everything changed when he tied her to the wall with his chains.
"Heh.." Luccio snorted and chuckled remembering it all.
She looked pitiful against the wall. But Luccio has no regrets because that way she can become a quieter and more obedient girl. So she can be easier to control.
"Fear is indeed the most powerful tool to control."
After knowing what would happen to her, Luccio was sure that Agatha would not dare to mess around even if he left her there alone.
The train continued without a sound. Luccio's mind drifted again to the figure that caused a stir on the Selection Stage.
Clyde. A name that had reached a place even further than the Selection Stage because he even attracted the attention of Hermes of Olympus.
Again, Luccio's fist clenched tightly. He still hadn't forgotten how he was humiliated at his own Selection Stage by the servant of Hermes.
If he wasn't someone who knew better than to make a bigger mess, he would have beaten the servant to the point where he regretted walking in and disturbing this Selection Stage on a whim.
But all of that only gives a small glimpse of what the future holds, which is not far away.
Clyde is an excellent player. He didn't know how he could be that strong.
Even Luccio was sure that Clyde had even surpassed the results of the last woman who passed with such amazing results. The same woman he recommended to the Demon King and ran away.
"I can't let him fall into the hands of another Celestial."
Luccio intends to have Clyde as his own. Something he had never actually thought of even in his wildest dreams. Luccio wants to compete with the Celestials.
"The All Territory will never be the same again."
A sly smile formed on Luccio's face. The reflection of his face looks terrible in the window of the train.
But Luccio didn't see the reflection of his face because he was busy staring at the flashing stars while imagining how his plan was will work out.
~~~
In the middle of a large garden, a girl was sitting on the fine grass holding a flower she picked from a collection of hundreds of flowers next to her.
The girl sniffed the scent of the flower. Then a smile appeared on her face that described how much she enjoyed the floral scent.
The girl had the appearance of a girl in her twenties. Although her actual age is very far from that number.
Her hair is light blonde to almost golden. Her eyes are blue and she has pale and smooth skin.
Her body shape which was neither too tall nor muscular gave her the impression of a fragile cute girl who couldn't even take care of herself. But that couldn't be farther from the truth.
She heard the sound of footsteps from behind her. She sighed because the footsteps were headed her way and would interrupt her time enjoying this sight.
The footsteps stood right behind her. The blonde girl could feel that the owner of the footsteps hesitated when approaching her.
"What?" the girl asked, not trying to hide how annoyed she was.
A woman standing behind her flinched and heard that tone.
That girl was indeed known as a very cruel being. Because of that, even she who is her servant is afraid to meet her.
"Y-Your Majesty, I received news that two of the three soldier Candidates are dead," her servant said with her hands clenched beside her body.
The girl with bright blonde hair immediately jumped to her feet and turned to look at her servant.
"What do you say?" the girl asked with a look of disbelief. Her voice was low but her servant felt a pressure that made her spine freeze.
The servant never received physical punishment or any form of torture. But she already knew how cruel the figure in front of her was when fighting.
The aura that the blonde girl gave off was also deadly. Even when she doesn't do anything.
"Who can kill them?" the girl asked.
"There is a Candidate who seems quite strong in the Selection Stage this time, Your Majesty."
"A Candidate? A human?"
The servant nodded slowly.
What was on the blonde girl's face wasn't just an expression of anger. But also confusion, as if she had heard something like that only once in her life.
"You said that human is alone?" the blonde girl asked.
The servant nodded again.
The blonde-haired girl let out a long breath. "I'll check on that human."
After that, the girl with blonde hair walked past the servant. Her strides were long and carried her slender body away swiftly.
The new servant could sigh after she left her. She only realized that she was breathing shallowly since her meeting with the blonde girl.
"Phew... no one knew an Archangel could be so terrifying," the Servant muttered after taking a deep breath.
She then also left the place.
~~~
The fight only lasted a few minutes. However, the devastation created by the fight between the two of them seemed so great.
The clashing flashes of bluish-white and red lightning made that part of the city look like it had been engulfed in a war that had been going on for years.
Clyde saw that the red Wendigo was getting tired. The wounds on his body that took the form of deep cuts began to regenerate more slowly.
Clyde knew that his victory would come soon. But he also realized that his Magic Power had also been reduced a lot.
'I have to end here as quickly as possible.'
The red Wendigo also seemed to realize that he was in a bad state. He felt pain all over his body starting to give off a great burden.
Even so, the red Wendigo didn't want to die now. Despair from the will to live became enough fuel to make him ignore the pain.
So the red Wendigo kept fighting and fighting. But Clyde certainly wasn't going to sympathize even though he could see the despair and fear in the red Wendigo's eyes.
"HYAAAAAHHH!!!"
A loud scream was heard. The red Wendigo screamed so loudly that it seemed as if his mouth might be split open at any moment.
He swung a fist covered in red lightning at Clyde. However, Clyde was able to see the fist coming very clearly because the red Wendigo's movement had become slow.
Clyde jumped sideways so the red Wendigo's fist shot past him and hit a building.
*BLARRR!!!*
*BOOM!*
The powerful fist accompanied by the red lightning smashed into the building and instantly shattered the walls and pillars.
The building collapsed a moment later. Debris spread out creating a white mist that eventually covered the red Wendigo's view.
'I lost him!'
The red Wendigo started to fall into a panic because he couldn't see Clyde.
So he released a wave of red lightning around in an effort to get rid of all the debris that was blocking his view.
But he actually didn't need to bother looking for Clyde because he had come to him.
The red Wendigo's eyes widened as a bluish-white flash of lightning shot toward him. Then he saw the blade of the Elderglass Sword swinging towards him.
The red Wendigo immediately raised both hands quickly, trying to prevent the sword from slicing through his neck.
*CRAATTT!*
The Elderglass Sword's blade penetrated the red Wendigo's skin and sank into his arm. The blade penetrated nearly half of his twice-human's massive arm.
"Khhgg!"
The red Wendigo resisted the urge to scream because of the pain he was feeling in his arm. He saw Clyde grin as if he already knew the end of this battle.
