BXBX NOVEL Chapter 122 Come To Him
The Outer God\'s scream was the same as its form. Bizarre and disturbing. It was a high-pitched voice like the screams of a woman who had been tortured for a long time.
Now the Players have gathered. They glanced at the Outer God and noticed that its left leg was now almost destroyed to reveal a long gash that exposed pale flesh and bone.
"Was that wound caused by Clyde?" Asqa asked.
"Of course. Who else if not him," Sonya answered as if it were an obvious thing.
"Now, what should we do?" Reed asked. "We can\'t seem to go and help him."
Reed was right. They all understood that Clyde\'s power, which was already capable of causing the Outer God to fall, was something beyond their limits. If they approached, they would only become a burden.
"Let\'s just wait," Rodney said.
Nobody thought that it was a bad idea. After all, there\'s nothing they can do. As well as staying a safe distance and letting Clyde - the only person who could fight that Outer God - do it.
But Asqa looked worriedly ahead. In the direction of the reddish flash of light that had been continuously occurring since just now.
\'Please, be safe.\'
In her heart, Asqa hoped for Clyde\'s safety. Though she didn\'t know if it would be of any use to her. But now there was nothing she could do.
Except, there is...
"I guess I should go there," Asqa said. Her words provoked glances from the others.
"What?! What do you mean you have to go there?!" Sonya asked in disbelief. She wasn\'t sure why Asqa would have such thoughts when she saw for herself what had happened - and was about to happen.
"It\'s not something you, or us, can handle," said Rodney.
"I know. But with my skills I can multiply Clyde\'s attack power," Asqa replied.
Hearing that, they looked at each other.
"I don\'t know if Clyde still needs an extra attack. You can see he can take down that Outer God, right?" Reed said.
"He said to me." Asqa stared at him with determined eyes. "Then he will need my help."
There is a belief in Asqa\'s heart. Whether it\'s because she feels uncomfortable because she can\'t help, or because Clyde really needs her.
But whatever it was, Asqa felt that she still had to go there.
"I\'ll go. It\'s okay if you don\'t want to go there," Asqa said.
She glanced at the four Regressors. Then to Sonya. From what she saw they were reluctant to approach and look for Clyde.
So Asqa decided to go there alone. She had walked a few steps before Sonya caught up behind her.
"I will look after you," Sonya said. "At least I\'ll be of use to you."
Again, only Sonya was beside her. Asqa smiled looking at Sonya\'s presence beside her. When she looked back, Asqa saw that the Regressors were looking away from them.
Asqa doesn\'t blame them because they chose to stay. What she did was very dangerous. And again, they are not friends. Just a bunch of people who happen to meet and take advantage of each other to survive in this ruined world.
*BOOM!*
An explosion was created up ahead. Asqa and Sonya decided to quicken their pace.
"It looks like the Outer God keeps fixing those eyes on Clyde. It doesn\'t look at us at all," Sonya said.
"That is something good," Asqa replied while continuing to fix her gaze forward.
Sonya turned to her. Inside her head, Sonya couldn\'t stop admiring how Asqa had changed. Even though all of this only happens for the last five days.
But, well, Sonya admits that what happened during these five days was far more than what one could go through in a lifetime.
In the midst of all that, Asqa managed to overcome her character which seemed like a cowardly girl who could only hide behind Clyde and her.
Even though she can\'t fight, Asqa still tries to be useful.
Even now, Asqa took the initiative to go first to help Clyde. Even though all the odds seem against her.
She even wanted to go alone because she saw that no one wanted to help her. Yet Sonya could not allow that. So now she accompanied her and took a risk.
They both saw a figure shooting up from below. The figure was enveloped in reddish lightning that appeared brilliant under this dark sky.
There was no mistake, it was Clyde.
"Come on!" Asqa starts running seeing the increasing urgency of what is about to happen.
Sonya followed her quickly while preparing her two pistols.
From behind, the Regressors watched the backs of the two women getting further away. Their minds say different things.
Reed and Eric gritted their jaws as they felt uncomfortable seeing Asqa and Sonya go charged toward the Outer God. While they staying here like cowards.
But Mona felt indifferent. She didn\'t mind the two of them because that way, she could be safe here.
While Rodney just stared flatly. Why should he bother fighting when he could wait here while accumulating his power?
Let Clyde and the two of them fight and kill that Outer God. Then, when the time comes, he can start to act.
Although Reed and Eric felt uncomfortable. In the end, they didn\'t do anything and just stayed with Rodney and Mona.
While the Regressors chose to remain silent, Clyde was throwing himself up to be able to land a hit on a body part that was more vital than its leg.
Surprisingly, it turns out that the Demonic\'s power can make him shoot up into the air.
The Outer God, who had previously set Clyde as its target, now waved that weird pair of hands.
Clyde kicked the air and darted to avoid the sweeping gray hand with only three fingers. Then he held the hilt of the Elderglass Sword and channeled his Magic Power.
Clyde launched an attack like before again. He thrust the Elderglass Sword with all his might and shot out a continuously rotating pillar of red lightning.
The attack hit the Outer God\'s left chest. The red lightning flowed continuously from around the wound and scorched the gray skin.
As it turned out, it proved quite easy. The Outer God seemed to be getting weaker and slower. Clyde didn\'t know where the power that seems terrible had gone.
Suddenly, the Outer God\'s eyes lit up even brighter. The sharp yellow light turned to be as bright as blinding sunlight.
Clyde who was charging towards it was suddenly blinded by the light.
He closed his eyes reflexively and brought his hands in front of his eyes. That made Clyde unable to see anything for a few seconds.
But those few seconds were more than enough to determine the direction of this battle. Clyde couldn\'t see the movement of the Outer God who was pointing his fist at him.
*BOOM!*
The gigantic fist hit the ground and sent debris flying in all directions. A large crater was created after the impact of that fist.
Luckily, Clyde wasn\'t there. He was already a few meters from where he was originally standing.
"I saved you just in time, right?"
Clyde turned to his side. Whereas Asqa was looking at him with a little smile. Clyde seemed to also see the proud look on the girl\'s face.
"T-Thanks," said Clyde. He didn\'t think that Asqa would come and save him at this crucial moment. Hell, he didn\'t even think that anyone would come to save him.
Clyde also saw that the laser shots were also hitting the Outer God. Now its gray skin is not as invincible as before and those shots can injure it.
Clyde saw burns starting to form on the gray skin. And the wound became more and more as time went on. He saw Sonya shooting while continuing to dodge nimbly.
"You two coming?" Clyde asked, looking dumbfounded.
Asqa nodded. "You said you needed me when the time came, right?"
Clyde did remember saying that a while ago. But, seeing how things turned out, he wasn\'t sure if he could still ask for Asqa\'s help when he knew that she was also busy saving herself.
But now Asqa is really near him. That made Clyde feel a sense of emotion. Because it turns out she still thinks about him.
"OK." Clyde nodded. "Let\'s do this."
Then Asqa used her [Skill: Attack Up] on Clyde. It wasn\'t long before he felt that the strength within his body was growing again.
After that, Clyde walked over and activated [Skill: Pure Lightning] again. The Demonic power in the Elderglass Sword flowed back to him and made the lightning around his body dark red.
Clyde disappeared from before Asqa\'s eyes with a quick red flash. Asqa looked at the Outer God with expectant eyes.
In her heart, that belief arose. She was sure that this time, Clyde would be able to kill the monster.
