Chapter 84 Finishing The Red
This fight will not last much longer. Clyde knew about it, he knew that he was on the winning side of this fight.
But the end result is still unclear. So, there is still room for error.
'I can't let my guard down until this is really over!'
Clyde continued to channel his Magic Power into the Elderglass Sword. The blade continued to welcome his Magic Power so that the bluish-white lightning became even more intense.
"GRAAAHHH!!!"
The red Wendigo finally couldn't help but scream from the pain.
Moreover, now the lightning also spread throughout his body.
All the cuts on his body that were inflicted by Clyde earlier seemed to scream too. Adding to his unbearable pain.
The red Wendigo looked at Clyde with eyes full of anger and fear that merged into one.
'I don't want to die here! I can not!'
"HYAAAAARRGGHHH!!!"
Red lightning exploded from the red Wendigo's body and spread around them. The lightning became thicker and thicker until it looked like a tentacle.
Because it was this close, Clyde could look straight into the red Wendigo's eyes. He saw that despair and desire to live on. Along with the fear of dying which is also no less clear.
But Clyde of course knows who should be his priority now. Between the red Wendigo who is afraid of death and falls into the despair of a creature who wants to survive, and his own survival.
Clyde didn't take long to make a decision. Of course, he wouldn't think that the monster's life in front of him was more valuable than his own.
Even so, Clyde felt the last effort of his enemy. All these red lightning flashes manage to cause him to feel pain.
He felt pain on his face from the lightning strike. Blood started flowing down his cheeks and forehead because of the lightning that the red Wendigo released.
Clyde mustered up his strength to pull the Elderglass Sword from the red Wendigo's arm.
*SRATT!!!*
The sword was pulled out accompanied by a splash of blood which was very painful for the red Wendigo. That kept him from reacting quickly enough to what Clyde did next.
Clyde thrust the Elderglass Sword into the red Wendigo's chest.
The sword pierced through his heart effortlessly and sent lightning bolts to spread throughout his internal organs and destroy them instantly.
The red Wendigo's internal organs were now in a mess. Everything was burned by Clyde's lightning.
The red Wendigo spat out a profuse amount of blood from his mouth.
"BLERGH!!!"
His eyes were bloodshot red. Blood not only flowed out of his mouth but also from his nose and ears. It seems Clyde's lightning has also spread to his brain.
Clyde then drew the Elderglass Sword. He saw that the red Wendigo was helpless. His eyes are empty from pain and despair. So Clyde knew that this is an opportunity to end it immediately.
Clyde caught the pleading look of the red Wendigo one last time. But his feelings didn't change. Clyde only returned the pathetic pleading gaze with his cold eyes with no empathy.
It was then that the red Wendigo realized that his efforts had been in vain and that his life would truly end now.
*CRAAATTT!!!*
The red Wendigo saw his vision rotate rapidly. Then fell on the shattered ground.
He could still see Clyde with lightning all over his body that was starting to subside.
But it wasn't long before his visions were completely black.
Clyde stared at the red Wendigo's head that was lying not far from his body. Even though the pair of eyes on the head were still wide open, there was already no life left in them.
Clyde looked up at the cloudy sky again. Cloud suddenly came sometime when he was fighting fiercely just now.
Now the battle had ended with the result he had expected. Although the difficulties that Clyde had to face were indeed higher than before.
He breathed into the air. Now that everything was over, Clyde could only feel that he was quite tired.
So he walked to the terrace of a building and sat leaning against a wall that was still intact.
He glanced to his right and left to check his surroundings before he decided to relax his attention to rest for a bit.
When he knows that there is no danger - or the possibility of danger - Clyde leaned his head against the wall and stared at the gray clouds above him.
It was then that the notification of a successful Personal Request appeared.
[ 3. The Red Wendigo Killed (1/1) ]
Clyde breathed a sigh of relief because finally all the Personal Requests from Demon Duchess Gremory had been completed.
That meant he could get three questions from the Demon Duchess which would obviously be the most valuable information he could get in this apocalypse.

On the other hand, the girl with blonde hair was staring at the monitor with eyes burning with anger.
*BRAK!*
She slammed her fists into the table in front of her. Her teeth gritted tightly.
"Damn human. How dare he kill my soldiers!"
The girl cursed despite her real identity. She is an Archangel, yet she emits an aura that is said to be more terrifying than a Demon.
Even though she was angry at the figure of Clyde who had just finished killing the three humans the souls she had taken to become her soldier, the blonde-haired girl still felt curious about him.
How could an ordinary human do that? she saw how the battle was going since a few minutes ago.
Even though she didn't see everything from the start, she could still see how the fight was going and measure how strong Clyde was.
What she saw was very shocking because she had never known a human who could have such strength to defeat her would-be warrior.
No, it was all strange from the start because that guy obviously didn't find the three of them by chance.
Coincidence only happened once. But the men found the three of them successively. It was as if, he deliberately hunted them.
"How did he find them?"
An ordinary human would not have been able to know that there were three humans that he had turned into monsters specifically to become her warriors.
She had paid a lot to the Selection Stage Creators to enter the Selection Stage and made three humans - Players - into her warrior candidates.
And the different types of monsters that are created due to her contract with them will be mentioned as Hidden Pieces in the Selection Stage.
Nobody should know about that. Some World Masters might know about it but they wouldn't do anything about it.
They couldn't possibly be willing to go against her who was a powerful Celestial.
Then her forehead wrinkled because she realized one thing. The party that could find out about his plan and decided to do something about it.
"Was that the doing of a Demon?"
The girl's voice trembled with anger. Her fists were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
"Right. It must be them."
The only force that would know something about the Hidden Piece he placed on the Selection Stage and decided to destroy it would be the Demons.
The girl's red eyes stared back at Clyde's figure who was still sitting looking up at the sky. Those red eyes seemed to be lit by the fire burning in them.
"What should I do about him?"
She wondered to herself. Should she kill him who messed up her plans?
Or she could persuade him to join her warrior ranks? With strength like that, it was obvious that he would make a very strong warrior.
"After all, that man must only be instigated by unreasonable offers from any Demon who encounters him."
Yes, humans don't know anything. So, he only carries out the orders given to him.
With the always tempting and ridiculous rewards from the Demons, the blonde girl could understand that the man wouldn't be able to refuse.
"If I can come up with something even bigger, then he will definitely switch to my side."
So with that, it was decided that she would visit Clyde.
The blonde-haired girl stood up from the chair and went straight out of the room to gather her servants.
~~~
'I think it's time to move on. It's enough rest.'
Clyde stood up and patted the dust off his pants. There is still another Personal Request that must be completed.
The time seemed to have entered noon. The time he spent fighting the red Wendigo wasn't that long. But he felt that he had been fighting for several whole days.
His Magic Power must have decreased a lot from continuing to use Skills nonstop. Because of that, Clyde intends not to use skills anymore to complete Agatha's Personal Request.
After all, today wasn't over yet and he still had to fight a BOSS that would obviously give him a higher difficulty than the red Wendigo.
