BXBX NOVEL Chapter 111 Last Wish
"Shit!" Clyde cursed through gritted teeth. He felt a stinging pain from his waist.
He didn't expect that he would get injured by a member of his group. Such things had never happened before when they fought.
Clyde can't help but think, is this intentional by Rodney or not? His suspicious nature made him immediately think of such a possibility.
Clyde glanced at Rodney who was fighting the cyborg with the rest of the group. He was seemingly indifferent to his situation and continued to fight without even glancing in his direction.
While Clyde was looking at Rodney with various speculations in his head, Asqa came to him with a worried face.
"You hurt?" Asqa asked.
Clyde immediately turned to her with a slightly surprised expression.
"Yes, a little." Clyde immediately showed his waist which was bleeding a little.
Asqa immediately tended to the wound without further speaking. A green light that creates a cool feeling comes out from Asqa's hands that are close to her waist.
It didn't take long for his wound to heal. Now there was only a five centimeter long cross-cut hole in his clothes. Clyde's skin that had been cut there was completely covered.
"This is the first time I've ever gotten this badly injured," Clyde said. Even though it wasn't actually a serious wound that was life-threatening, what Clyde said was true. Until now, that was the only serious wound he had suffered because it could make him bleed.
"It's okay now. Thank you," Clyde said to Asqa with a slight smile.
Aska returned the smile with a slightly wider smile. "Now, you can join the fight again?"
"I think so." Clyde walked towards the fight that was happening up ahead. Then he turned to Asqa as if remembering something.
"You'd better go back into hiding now," Clyde said.
Ashka nodded. "Don't worry. I already understand what I have to do."
Clyde nodded again. He felt no need to worry about Asqa anymore.
After that, Clyde ran to re-enter the fight he had left.
When Clyde left, the damage received by the cyborg was less than before. The cyborg even managed to land an attack on Mona who then threw her quite far from the rest of the group.
The cyborg swung two laser swords simultaneously at Eric who was closest to him.
*CLANG!*
With quite a heavy struggle, Eric managed to block the swings of the two swords with his light shield.
Even though the two swords were swung not by the cyborg's actual hands but by their metal limbs, the force behind the swings was significant.
Reed arrives to strike the metal limbs and save Eric. However, a large ax came towards him from behind the cyborg.
*CLANG!*
Reed was forced to cancel his intention to help Eric because he had to block the ax with his sword. Because of that, he was also pushed back.
Rodney also immediately came to help. But then missile fire rained down on him from the cyborg's rocket launcher which was also controlled by metal limbs. That made him unable to move closer to help Eric.
Even Sonya's shots from afar are not very useful because the cyborg activates a force field which immediately counters Sonya's shots.
The cyborg was fixing its attention on the players now in front of it. His eyes were still burning with anger and wanted to kill them without leaving as soon as possible.
However, the cyborg didn't notice that Clyde was running toward him at full speed.
This time, Clyde had not activated [Skill: Pure Lightning] because he felt that the cyborg was weaker. Moreover, he was surrounded from all directions.
Another reason is also that Clyde wants to conserve his Magic Power.
Clyde came from behind. As soon as he felt he had gotten enough distance, Clyde swung the Elderlgass Sword.
*CLANG!*
But there was still a spear that suddenly appeared in front of him to block his sword swing. It was as if, the metal limbs had their own consciousness to move the spear.
Because of that, the cyborg noticed Clyde's presence. He turned and immediately pointed his rifle at Clyde.
Only then did Clyde feel that it was the right time to use his skill.
[ Pure Lightning (Lv. 10) is activated! ]
Clyde threw a lightning bolt at the rifle and changed his aim so that the shot was far off. The attack seemed to have damaged the rifle as well. There were electrical sparks appearing on the rifle.
The cyborg diverted his attacks to Clyde so that Eric was free from his pressure. Reed and Mona had also returned to the battle. The force field that protects the cyborg from Sonya's shots has also shrunk.
Clyde's arrival distracts the cyborg from them. The cyborg seemed to act impulsively as soon as he saw Clyde's arrival without thinking too much about everything.
The cyborg's desire to kill Rodney disappeared when Clyde came and did more damage. And the cyborg really despises Clyde because he is an ordinary human who can corner him.
The human's childish mind, coupled with the immense power he had suddenly received through the operation, twisted the cyborg's brain in such a way that it made him extremely impulsive.
Clyde defended well against the cyborg's weapons attacks. Then, from behind him, from a place he wasn't paying attention to, the other players launched attacks simultaneously.
The cyborg swung the two swords in its hand and then also swung the ax with one of its metal limbs.
The three weapons hit the Elderglass Sword that Clyde used to protect himself. Clyde gritted his teeth from the pressure he felt.
Clyde also saw the cyborg's expression which looked strange. His eyes were bloodshot red as if they might explode at any moment. Those eyes contained the grudge buried deep within the cyborg's human heart.
"I... Kill... You..." the cyborg let out a broken sound as he was also doing that while grinding his teeth.
Clyde snorted. "You can't. You will die soon."
Several slashes came from behind. The cyborg's weapons fell because the metal limbs had been cut by the players who attacked simultaneously.
Then, once they were done cutting the metal limbs, they all lunged and plunged their swords into the cyborg's back.
*CRAAAKKK!*
*CRAAAKKK!*
*CRAAAKKK!*
Their swords sank into the cyborg's body. This time, the metal layer that previously protected his body became much thinner as it had turned into the metal limbs.
The cyborg looked too shocked to scream as all of the swords stabbed into his body from multiple directions simultaneously. It was as if, all his air had been pulled out from within him.
The Regressors then drew their swords simultaneously. There was a bit of blood that was drawn out when they drew the sword.
Then they jumped to get away. It was then that Clyde kicked the cyborg from the front with great force.
*DUAGH!*
The cyborg was thrown backward. He rolled a few times before finally coming to a stop when he hit the wall.
At that time all the users rushed towards him and thrust their swords together
*CRAAAKKK!*
*CRAAAKKK!*
*CRAAAKKK!*
...
The Elderglass Sword stuck in his neck after Clyde threw it. Meanwhile, the four Regressors approached the cyborg to thrust their swords at close range.
In its eyes, the cyborg saw faces of people thrusting their swords at it. The anger inside him had subsided, now all that was left was fear because he knew death was so close.
Tears flowed from the cyborg's eyes. His mouth opened as if to say how scared he was and ask for mercy.
However, to the Regressors and Clyde, he is nothing more than a BOSS that they must kill. And now they know they are very close to that goal.
The cyborg's vision was already getting dark. The computer system inside his head said that they had a malfunction.
The cyborg said his last order and hope. It's the only thing he can do.
'Start the process of self-destruction.'
The computer system inside his head complied. Then, the cyborg's vision blackened and disappeared completely.
"Let's get out of here! Quick!" Rodney said.
"Why?" Reed asked.
"He will destroy himself now."
Hearing that, the Regressors immediately drew their swords and left. Clyde also heard about it, and he immediately activated [Skill: Pure Lightning] to take the Elderglass Sword.
As he drew his sword, Clyde heard an accelerating ticking sound. It was a sign that the cyborg's time to self-detonate was getting closer.
Clyde immediately dashed with a body covered in lightning to get away from him.
A few seconds later, the ticking sound stopped. The cyborg's body turned red like metal being heated from the inside.
And then...
An explosion was created in the middle of the city. The explosion was so big that it created flames that soared to the sky.
The shockwave from the explosion knocked down buildings and sent countless pieces of debris flying in all directions.
By the time that happened, the remaining players had already left the scene.
