BXBX NOVEL Chapter 116 Change Of Plan
They continued to move between all the tentacles and fireballs. Clyde's grip on Asqa's wrist tightened and made the girl feel more pain.
However, Asqa didn't want to say what she felt because she knew that it would distract Clyde. Asqa bit her lip so she could keep her voice out.
Clyde now no longer activates [Skill: Pure Lightning] because he doesn't know if he can use it while carrying Asqa. Clyde didn't want his Skill to suddenly strike Asqa and electrocute the girl.
So Clyde only relies on his stat's speed. Even then, he had to hold back because Asqa's speed was incomparable to his.
Clyde slashed the Elderglass Sword relentlessly to repel every tentacle and fireball coming at them from all sides. He turned while keeping Asqa behind him.
With Asqa's presence, Clyde felt a burden that he had not expected before. Usually, when he only moves alone, Clyde can move more freely.
But Clyde wouldn't blame Asqa. She wasn't naturally someone fit for fighting. From her Stat to her [Private Attribute] that she has, Clyde already knows that he has to go the extra mile to protect Asqa.
So Clyde did it with all his might. He spun around to block the attacks coming from all directions. He even sacrificed his own body to protect her.
All that so Clyde can keep Asqa's body in the best condition possible. Because when the time comes, he will need Asqa at her best.
"We're getting closer!" Clyde said.
Ash did not answer. More precisely, she can't, because she is busy enduring the pain in her wrist and the fatigue of having to keep up with Clyde's speed.
*WOOSSHH!!!*
*WOOSSHH!!!*
*WOOSSHH!!!*
...
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
...
Tentacles, fireballs, and now the yellow lightning was crashing continuously at them.
The Outer God's variety of attacks continued to increase, making it more difficult to get close to the real body.
Now Clyde could see the shape of the Outer God's legs. The leg looks like a human leg, gray as ash.
The size of the foot is so big. The distance from the ankle to the knee alone reaches ten meters.
Even with just that part showing, Clyde and Asqa could already feel the pressure around them increase by several times.
'Looks like the more body parts that drop, the stronger the pressure in this place will be. This is bad.'
Clyde turned to Asqa. He widened his eyes when he realized that Asqa's face looked painful. He wanted to land somewhere so Asqa could rest for a while.
But the Outer God will not give them that luxury. Instead, it deployed more fireballs and yellow lightning strikes toward them
"Are you hurt?" Clyde asked Asqa in the midst of his difficulty dodging the attacks.
"N-No. I'm fine," Asqa replied. She tried to pull out a smile. But what came out was just a grimace that increasingly described her pain.
Clyde could see that Asqa wasn't fine at all. He immediately spread his sights past the tentacles and all sorts of destruction to find the rest of the group.
He couldn't do it alone if he had to bring Asqa along. So, in the end, Clyde had to go to the others to ask for their help.
Originally Clyde wanted to attack the Outer God himself.
The other group members weren't as strong and fast as him so Clyde thought not to involve them because what he was doing was something very dangerous.
Even though he found it difficult, that means the other members of the group found it even more difficult than him.
However, Clyde felt that he should revise the plan. At least he could ask the other group members to watch over Asqa and remove obstacles so he could get closer to the Outer God's body.
Clyde - reluctantly - changed course. He, who had brought Asqa closer to the Outer God, now turned and brought Asqa towards Sonya, who was closest to them than the others.
Sonya is also dodging the tentacles that attack her. But she didn't fire her rifle to save her Magic Power.
Suddenly she saw Clyde and Asqa approaching from a distance. Sonya immediately approached them and started firing rifles to ease their rendezvous process.
After several minutes of fighting their way to get closer to each other, they finally got come together.
"What are you planning now?!" Sonya asked with great urgency in her voice.
Clyde immediately told her about her plan to attack the Outer God's true body with the help of Asqa's powers.
Sonya glanced at him in disbelief. "Are you sure you can do that? Don't you see how just those legs the Outer God is already giving us this much pressure?"
"It's the only way," Clyde answered her in a calm tone. "We have to kill that Outer God to be able to finish today, right?"
Sonya, who knew that was true, knew that she could only agree with Clyde's proposal.
"Then we should attack it together," Sonya said.
"I don't know if that's possible. I can see you guys are having a hard time just dodging all those tentacles and fireballs.
I'll attack it myself and you guys will reduce the obstacle for me so I can get closer."
Sonya thought for a moment as she looked at Clyde's face.
The man had a stiff face and his eyes showed confidence that he would indeed be able to injure the Outer God.
Maybe even Clyde could kill it.
Sonya knew that Clyde was indeed the strongest of them all. They were able to survive until now, and were able to reach such a high Level because of Clyde.
So, why should she doubt him now?
"Alright!" said Sonya. "We have to rendezvous with the others first."
After meeting the agreement, they immediately went to meet the other group members. That proved to be quite a difficult task as they all scattered quite a distance.
In a siege of tentacles and all of these attacks, it is almost impossible to get close to one another. Even standing in the same place for a long time was extremely hard.
So it took Clyde, Asqa, and Sonya a little longer to reach them. Clyde felt this was a bit of a waste of time. If only he could attack the Outer God himself everything would be so much faster.
But he needs Asqa's power. And Asqa needs others to protect her. Then, Clyde can also use them to pave the way for him.
Even though he was strong, it turned out that the Outer God gave him extremely high hardships. Clyde suspected that they really shouldn't be able to defeat the Outer God.
The growling sound that was heard from all directions was initiated again.
Suddenly, from the Outer God's body appeared dozens of tiny human-sized creatures. However, their form is so strange and only a few resemble human beings.
They have a pair of wings that look like crow's wings with gray feathers. Their hands are in the form of bird feet and have crow's claws. And their legs are shaped like gray human legs.
Their heads are just shaped like a collection of black mist that clumps above their bodies. Complementing their seemingly odd appearance.
Those Players could see the strange creatures coming out of the Outer God's feet.
They came out tearing the skin off the gray feet with the claws of their hands. Then flew after flapping the gray crow's wings.
"What the fuck is that?!" Sonya shouted while looking at the mass of creatures that started to descend to fly toward them.
Asqa didn't answer because she was also in shock. While Clyde didn't answer because he didn't see any point in answering that question.
There were five strange gray flying creatures approaching them.
"I have to let you go first," Clyde said to Asqa. Clyde feels it's okay to let her go now with Sonya around so he can fight the flying creatures better.
Aska only answered with a nod. But she also felt relief in her heart as soon as Clyde's strong grip left her wrist.
Clyde looked at Sonya who seemed to be preparing her rifle anxiously.
"Protect Asqa and keep moving. I will open a path for us," Clyde said to Sonya.
Sonya saw no reason to argue with him. So he immediately pulled Asqa to get closer to her. In the middle of that situation, Sonya notices Asqa's wrist turning red.
But she didn't say anything about it. And just focus her attention on being able to move and dodge properly.
Meanwhile, Clyde shot toward the five strange flying creatures. He swung the Elderglass Sword towards the closest one.
However, the creature was able to block the sword with the crow's claws. Meanwhile, another flying creature approached from the left while swinging its claw.
Clyde immediately kicked the creature coming from the left. Turns out, they weren't as strong as he thought.
With one kick Clyde manages to send the creature flying backward several meters.
