BXBX NOVEL Chapter 108 Transformed
The cyborg's eyes, which previously only focused on Rodney, were now aware of Clyde's presence, who suddenly lunged at him.
He gritted his teeth even harder. "STOP BOTHERING ME YOU ANNOYING FUCKER!"
The cyborg swung his arm at Clyde. From that hand came several sharp blades that immediately shot toward Clyde with incredible speed.
However, Clyde's body which was still covered in lightning indicated that he was still activating [Skill: Pure Lightning]. Thus, the speed of the blades wasn't a big problem for him.
Clyde skillfully moved the Elderglass Sword to block all the blades the cyborg threw. Then he continued to continuously dash towards him.
*CLANG!*
In the blink of an eye, Clyde was right in front of the cyborg with the Elderglass Sword pointed at his neck. But the cyborg still managed to cross his arms in time to block the thrust of the sword.
Clyde could see very clearly a spot on the cyborg's neck that seemed to be sparking electricity. The spot also looks open. Unlike other parts of his body which are covered by a layer of metal.
From there Clyde could already think that the spot on the neck was the cyborg's weakness.
He didn't know if that part was his only weak point, or if there were other parts. But at least now he knew where to point his sword.
Realizing that Clyde was aiming at his injured neck, the cyborg looked furious.
"You think I'm going to let you stab my neck like that, you jerk?!" the cyborg said with an angry tone. "I will cut off your head and tear your body into pieces. Then I will do the same thing to all your friends!"
Clyde did not reply to his words which only contained angry curses. Instead, he opened his palm in front of the so cyborg's face and then sent a bolt of lightning into his face.
*JRZZZTT!*
"ARGHHHH FUCK!"
The cyborg screamed. He had lost sight of Clyde's figure for a while. The cyborg also reflexively used the hand he previously used to block the Elderglass Sword to remove the lightning bolt from his face.
The time window that lasted only a fraction of a second was enough for Clyde to move to gather strength.
He gripped the handle of the Eldgerlass Sword with both hands, then thrust the blade with all his might into the spot on the cyborg's neck.
*CRAAKKK!*
*ZWOOSSH!*
Elderglass Sword managed to stab into that spot. Then a bluish-white lightning energy shot out through the back of the cyborg's neck until it hit the part of the building behind him.
The cyborg's movements stopped for a few moments. Clyde also stopped to wait to see if the attack had the effect he was hoping for or not.
Even though he had managed to penetrate the cyborg's neck with his stab, Clyde felt that the cyborg wouldn't be defeated with just such an attack.
And turns out to be true. After a few seconds passed, the cyborg's hand turned into a canon. Then he pointed the cannon at Clyde.
Obviously, Clyde immediately drew his Elderglass Sword and jumped aside to dodge it.
*JYUUU!*
The shot from the cannon went straight to where Clyde's head had been. Luckily, Clyde was gone from there.
Once there was no longer any sword at his neck, the cyborg's head was knocked downwards. The light in his eyes dimmed but didn't disappear completely.
But he's not dead. That was proven by the shot he just fired.
On the other hand, Rodney has become much better than before. All of that is thanks to Asqa's extraordinary healing abilities.
Rodney stood up and looked at the cyborg and then at Clyde. He realized what had just happened. Clyde managed to deliver a clean attack on the cyborg from the wound he had just inflicted.
However, the success of the attack would only be the beginning of the cyborg's transformation.
Because that attack had killed the cyborg's basic form, the second form would appear in a moment.
"He will transform!" Rodney called out to Clyde.
Clyde turned to him with a frown. 'So he will start his transformation now?'
Rodney said that the cyborg would become stronger after its transformation. But Clyde was quite confident that he could still handle the cyborg even though he had transformed.
The cyborg's body began to convulse. Then sparks of lightning appeared around him but did not come from his body. The spark seemed to appear suddenly from somewhere else.
The sparks turned into the same five orbs that appeared when the cyborg came. Then, from the five orbs appeared parts that immediately joined the cyborg's body.
*BANG!*
*BANG!*
*BANG!*
...
All the parts that seemed to have been sent from another dimension came together and reshaped the cyborg's body.
Now, he looks like a robot knight soaring four meters high. Twice the height of his previous height.
The newly arrived parts formed black armor with red light highlighting the arms, legs, and head.
The armor envelops his body and provides protection that looks powerful. Not only armor, but the newly arrived parts also turned into a spear-shaped weapon in his hand.
Clyde concluded that the new parts also repaired the damage he had suffered from the attack.
Everyone who was there stared in awe, except for Rodney who knew that it was going to happen.
"Hey, you said we can beat him even if it's a bit of a hassle?" Sonya asked Rodney.
"Yeah. I believed in it and still believe in it," Rodney said. "Don't worry. Now he might look very strong. But there are seven of us."
Sonya decided not to worry anymore. Because even if she were to worry, it would be of no use.
Clyde was still right in front of the cyborg. He who had not had the chance to use [Skill: Inspection] used it now.

Clyde didn't see too much difference from the T-1000 he had fought earlier.
Even the T-1000 seemed more troublesome because of that [Skill: Hypnosis]. But the cyborg in front of him didn't have that skill.
'But that armor looks pretty tough, though.'
The cyborg stared at Clyde through the red eyes that shone under the helmet. Clyde could feel the animosity that was so clear from his gaze.
The cyborg used its spear to point at Clyde.
"You!" The cyborg said in his previous voice but added a mechanical voice. "I'll kill you!"
Clyde clicked his tongue. "You should try harder with those words."
The cyborg was about to make a threat, but the threat didn't feel like it had any impact on Clyde.
The cyborg started to charge toward Clyde while swinging its metal spear. Suddenly, from the two points of the spears, lasers appeared and condensed to form two spearheads.
But then, from behind him, Rodney came jumping while raising his sword. He didn't just give an ordinary sword slash but instead sent [Skill: Sword Slash].
The black crescent-shaped sword slash shot towards the cyborg's back. It turned out that the cyborg had noticed the attack coming because he had looked back.
However, he couldn't dodge because now his speed was reduced.
*CLANG!*
The sword slash was stopped by the cyborg's thick armor. Yet, even though it couldn't penetrate it, Rodney's sword slash had created quite a deep scratch on the armor.
Upon seeing him, the cyborg shifted its attention from Clyde to Rodney. He turned his body and then thrust his spear toward Rodney who was in the process of landing.
*JYUU!*
*JYUU!*
*JYUU!*
...
However, shot after shot came in an instant toward the cyborg's hand and spear. The shot made the spear miss its target which is Rodney.
Because of that Rodney managed to land well. He then used the opportunity to temporarily get away from the cyborg.
Meanwhile, Eric, Reed, and Mona also attacked him from various sides.
The cyborg realized that, but due to their extremely fast movements and reaction speed which had been greatly reduced after the transformation, the cyborg was too late to use its shockwave.
The three Regressors also immediately sent [Skill: Sword Slash] towards the cyborg simultaneously.
The blackish sword slashes hit the cyborg's neck, back, and stomach. Creates a pretty deep wound.
The three of them immediately jumped back as soon as they finished sending that melee attack.
The shockwave they had been expecting from the cyborg came out a moment later. However, the Regressors had disappeared from the wave's range.
At that moment, Clyde approached Rodney and asked. "Now where is the weakness?"
Rodney shook his head. "Unfortunately, now he has no weakness."
Clyde looked up with a frown. "What do you mean? Then how do we defeat him?"
"We just have to attack him enough times until his armor breaks. Only then will his true core be revealed and we can truly kill him."
