BXBX NOVEL Chapter 121 From The Rubbles
All of that happened in an instant. The Outer God with its gigantic body fell onto the ground after letting out a heartbreaking and extremely loud scream.
And then, all the rubble and ruin abruptly stopped in midair. They fell to the ground following the Outer God. Trapping the Players who were in between.
Sonya and Asqa were separated because amid their downfall, being with one another was impossible.
Now even Sonya can't worry about Asqa because she is busy staying alive amid everything that can kill her.
The Regressors also experienced the same thing. They struggle to stay in control of the situation but they can only spin in the air while falling.
Several pieces of rubble hit Reed's head, knocking him out of consciousness.
Mona, Eric, and Rodney were not much better.
All the rubble and ruin hit them from above but they were still conscious.
While they are struggling just to survive, Clyde is also struggling to survive but with an even bigger threat.
However, he was able to keep his head cool. He didn't know how he could still stay so calm. Maybe it was due to the influence of his [Private Attribute: Easy-Mode]. Or it could be because he had absorbed the power of the Demon Essence.
But it doesn't matter now because the important thing is that Clyde can be sane and cool-headed enough to be able to move properly. Because when he was faced with five beings who were imitations of the Outer God in miniature, he really needed that.
Clyde fell while looking around. The five mini Outer Gods flew at him all at once. Clyde kicked a piece of land and shot toward one of them and grabbed it.
The Mini Outer God that he grabbed immediately opened its mouth and shot out that pitch-black energy.
Luckily, Clyde was able to dodge it by tilting his head to the side. The black energy shot only scratched the tip of his ear.
Clyde then channeled his lightning into the Outer God's body. It's convulsing. Its mouth which opened to five different sides was wriggling like a burning worm. The sight made Clyde wince in disgust.
Realizing that rocks were falling from above, Clyde pulled the mini Outer God's body up.
*BUGGH!!*
*BUGGH!!*
*BUGGH!!*
The rock hit the mini Outer God's back and even broke its wings. Making them both fall again.
Another Mini Outer God approached Clyde. They dodged all the rubble adroitly. When they got near Clyde, they immediately shot black energy from their mouths.
Clyde already knew they would do that. So he turned the mini Outer God that was still convulsing in his grip towards them. Using it as a shield.
The black energy shot hit the back of the Mini Outer God who was unable to do anything.
It writhed, and from its throat came a disturbing scream like a human's voice with a broken throat, then a black liquid followed out from its mouth.
Luckily, the black energy shot couldn't penetrate the Outer God's body even though it was fired by four mini Outer Gods simultaneously from in front of them.
Clyde can cover himself from their attacks. But the mini Outer God that he made into a shield wasn't so lucky.
It spews black liquid continuously without stopping. And the dark red lightning that enveloped it added to the pain it was suffering from.
Clyde kicks the mini Outer God at its friends. Then he looked down. It was not too far away until he fell so Clyde looked down for a good place to land.
But the mini Outer Gods didn't give up and kept darting toward him. Clyde try to get away for a while as he had to find a landing spot and do his best not to be hit by the rocks and falling ruins.
A great sound and vibration were created when all the rubble from the remnants of nature around it fell back onto the ground.
Clyde finally can land excellently. He slashed the Elderglass Sword upwards to destroy the rubble.
Clyde's eyes widened when he saw that the Outer God - the real one - was now standing up.
The fire that burned its knees and spread to his feet was now extinguished.
However, the severe burns from the fire did not heal and almost consumed the flesh of the leg.
Clyde could even see some of the Outer God's leg bones, which were strangely not much different from human leg bones.
Clyde wanted to immediately run towards it and attack again. However, his plan was shattered by the grip on his leg.
Clyde fell face-first to the ground as his momentum was stopped by the grip. He looked back and saw one of the mini Outer Gods clutching his leg even though it was buried in a huge boulder.
It opened its mouth and shot out that pitch-black energy.
Clyde immediately slashed their hand so that the leg could be released. But Clyde was seconds late and the attack grazed his leg.
"Fuck!"
Enraged, Clyde lunged and immediately thrust the Elderglass Sword into the ox-shaped head. Jet-black blood splashed out, the mini Outer God stopped moving.
Its friends came a moment later with the sound of flapping wings and disturbing screams.
Clyde felt that he would not be able to reach the real Outer God without killing them first. So he lunged at them.
Clyde slashed the Elderglass Sword and sent three dark red arcing slashes their way. Now that he had a solid footing, Clyde thought that this fight would be easier.
The three mini Outer Gods spat out some kind of black liquid from their mouths. The liquid turned into a kind of shield that they used to block Clyde's sword.
The shield shattered as soon as it received the sword slash.
When he felt that he had gotten enough distance, Clyde kicked the ground and shot up. He thrust his sword into the stomach of one of those unlucky mini Outer Gods.
*CRAATT!*
Clyde manages to stab its chest right in the heart was located, although he doesn't know if it has a heart. Then he pushed the mini Outer God down.
The Mini Outer God hit the ground with a thud. Clyde pulled out the Elderglass Sword and proceeded to attack its friends.
~~~
While Clyde is battling the three remaining mini Outer Gods, the rest of his group is struggling to get out of the rubble pile.
Sonya had a hard time getting out because a part of the wall of the building fell on her. If only her body was still that of an ordinary human, Sonya would have been squashed under that pressure.
Sonya pushed the piece of wall that had a size of about two square meters. She didn't take long to get rid of the wall due to the maxed-out Stats.
Sonya looked with fear in her eyes at the Outer God who was trying to stand up. She didn't see how the gigantic creature had fallen, but she only had one guess as to who had done it.
Sonya rushes to find the rest of the group amidst this chaos. Since the Outer God was about to rise, she had to find them as soon as possible.
She saw Rodney pulling someone's hand. Sonya came to help get whoever Rodney was trying to free.
Turns out it was Mona. Mona gasped for air when she finally got free from the pile.
"Let's find the other, quick!" Sonya said. Then she immediately moved.
Rodney and Mona looked behind them. Towards the sound, something huge moving rose.
"How did it collapse just now?" Mona asked in a confused tone.
Rodney didn't answer. He was sure that Mona was not stupid and could guess that it was Clyde's doing.
'He can even knock down that Outer God.'
Something that Rodney thought was impossible for him even though he was Regressed, Clyde was able to do that in one go.
It would be a lie if Rodney said he wasn't envious. But, this isn't over yet. Clyde can have fun with his powers until the time comes.
"Let's go find Reed and Eric," Rodney said.
Mona nodded and the two of them immediately moved to find their friends who might still be buried under all this.
Meanwhile, Sonya is also looking for Asqa's whereabouts. She had prepared herself in case she found Asqa in a bad condition.
But that possibility is small because Asqa has healing abilities. She should be able to heal herself, right?
And Sonya's guess was right. Asqa is fine. Now that she seems to be healing Reed who is lying on the ground.
Sonya walked up to the two of them and saw that Reed had almost disappeared cuts and stab wounds on Reed's stomach. Most likely because of that strange flying creature.
"It's done," Asqa said.
Reed rose to his feet. "Thanks."
Asqa stood up too, then nodded at Reed. Then she turned to Sonya. "You alright?"
Sonia nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine."
Now, that Outer God had fully stood up. It opened its mouth and let out a loud scream, not just a growl.
