Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

\'What is he going to do?\' Lykon frowned and squinted at the scene below.

\'Is that a contract?!\'

Lykon who was shocked immediately widened his eyes. He couldn\'t let Clyde sign any contract except with his master.

\'There\'s no way I\'ll let it be!\'

Even though he would most likely dismantle his disguise, Lykon could not allow the World Master to give his contract to Clyde.

Because with the contract he gave, whatever the contents were, then Clyde would consider it a big advantage so the possibility for him to refuse was very small.

That\'s what Lykon thought.

Luccio stretched his hand towards Clyde. A moment later a new Window appeared before Clyde\'s eyes. There was written a contract with only one clause that he had to sign.

[ "I, the undersigned shall enter into a Binding Contract with the World Master, Luccio." ]

Clyde frowned because of the strange-looking contract in front of him. Viewed from anywhere, it is the most suspicious and strange contract in the whole world.

There were no clauses explaining what he had to do and no agreement on what exactly they should do.

The box that Clyde guessed was where he should have placed his sign blinked as if waiting for it with great anticipation.

"What is this?" Clyde asked with disapproval. "This contract doesn\'t look right."

Luccio responded by smiling first. "Well, I thought you didn\'t like wasting time so I cut things short."

Clyde sighed. "You didn\'t explain what I have to pay. What exactly is a Binding Contract? I don\'t know what will happen if I fail, and various other things that should be in a contract."

"But I can promise you a key item to fight the enemy on the fifth day," Luccio said confidently. He still thought that there was no problem with the contract he gave in front of Clyde.

"How do I know if you\'re not tricking me?" Clyde asked.

"You don\'t know. But, you can trust me. After all, you can only get the power to win on the fifth day from me," Luccio said.

Luccio was sure that Clyde would accept the contract.

Even though he rejected him now out of disbelief, later when the fifth day came when he was on the brink of despair because he couldn\'t do anything to that so-called Outer God, then he would beg him to give him the contract.

"That is not true."

However, a voice suddenly came into the middle of their conversation. It was the voice of an invisible man.

Clyde and Luccio both looked around to find the owner of the voice. But they couldn\'t find him.

Luccio gritted his teeth. \'Who\'s the fucker disturbing me?!\'

"Clyde, whatever that guy has to offer, I can offer something better than him," the voice said again.

Clyde turned his gaze back to Luccio. He didn\'t say anything but from the look in his eyes, Luccio could tell that Clyde seemed to be saying to him that he was interested in the mysterious voice\'s proposal.

"Show yourself," Clyde said.

"Unfortunately, I can\'t do that," Lykon replied to Clyde from a place he couldn\'t see.

"Then how can I trust you? You look just as suspicious as this guy," Clyde said.

Luccio\'s face which seemed to express confidence now changed into something else. His jaw hardened with anger.

\'That must be the servant of one of those damn Celestials!\'

Once again, because of this useless system, they can enter his Selection Stage at will. Of course, Luccio felt so mad about this.

"Well, all right."

After a while finally, Lykon answered. Soon a faint golden light appeared not far behind Clyde.

Lykon\'s figure appeared with a smile.

Luccio frowned with eyes burning with shock and anger.

\'It\'s Hermes servant!\' Luccio gritted his teeth.

Luccio could see from the white cloth and golden sash he was wearing that the man was a servant of Hermes, the God of Speed.

\'That bastard even dared to show himself here!\'

For Luccio, Lykon\'s presence was like someone who casually entered his house. As the World Master in charge of the Selection Stage in this world, he felt his pride being crushed by Lykon\'s presence.

Luccio suddenly disappeared from where he stood. It then appeared right in front of Lykon.

"You dare show your face here?!" Luccio asked through gritted teeth. His eyes lit up with a greenish flame.

But Lykon didn\'t look worried. Instead, he wore a mocking grin in Luccio\'s eyes.

"Come on, World Master. You already know that many have come here and messed up your Selection Stage. You even broke the rules yourself by meeting a Player," Lykon said. "So why are you suddenly getting angry now? Because I interfered with your scheming?"

Lykon asked rhetorically with a smile that was so annoying in Luccio\'s eyes. The flash of green fire in his eyes became even more obvious.

And even though it looks relaxed, actually Lykon has also prepared his strength.

On the other side from behind them, Clyde was staring with curious eyes.

\'What exactly happening right now and who was that man?

Was that man one of the many Celestials Agatha said? In that case, he was also interested in him to the point of showing himself here.

\'I didn\'t know I was this popular," Clyde snorted with a crooked smile. \'For now, I\'d better shut up and observe them first.\'

Luccio and Lykon exchanged piercing looks. Neither of them yielded from expressing the desire to kill each other through their eyes.

"You want to fight? Now?" Lykon asked. "You know who\'s going to be at a disadvantage here, don\'t you?"

Luccio held his hand until it shook and his entire knuckle turned white. Lykon also realized that the pressure from Luccio had increased drastically.

At this time Lykon thought that the fight was inevitable. He too had prepared himself. Maybe later he would have to explain at length to his master but it wouldn\'t be a big deal.

The problem is that Lykon isn\'t too sure if he can beat Luccio with ease. He was sure he could win. But at a huge cost.

At this Selection Stage, the strength of a World Master is certainly greater than that of a servant of a God.

However, Luccio looked away and let out a long breath. As if he wanted to get rid of all the rage that had accumulated in his chest and was about to explode.

Luccio then turned back towards Lykon and smiled. "It\'s not wise for us to fight here. How about we all stand down now?"

The pressure from Luccio disappeared instantly, and Lykon also felt relief. Now, he thought that continuing this would only really lead to a fight between them.

"Alright," replied Lykon.

Lucio nodded in satisfaction. Then turned to Clyde. "I\'ll see you later."

The window containing the contract in front of Clyde suddenly disappeared.

Then followed by Luccio who also suddenly disappeared without saying a word.

Clyde sighed. \'This is how it ended. Though I was expecting then to have a fight.\'

Clyde wanted to see how they fought so he could get an idea of ​​their strength.

Lykon looked at Clyde from where he stood with a disappointed look.

If he continued his actions, then Luccio would really come back and continue the fight.

"We\'ll meet again," Lykon said before he disappeared from Clyde\'s eyes.

In the end, nothing happened. The two parties who met him apparently competed with each other and hated each other.

But for one reason or another, they chose not to get involved in a fight. They would definitely lose a lot if they fought. Therefore they chose to leave.

But that doesn\'t mean all of it will end now, though.

\'That\'s a lot of things going on behind this apocalypse.\'

After the two of them disappeared, Clyde continued on his way.

He didn\'t show anything, but Clyde knew that someone was still following him. Someone smart enough not to show themselves amidst the turmoil that occurred just now.

So Clyde let them in and just waited if they would approach him.

Based on what happened just now, Clyde thought the remaining party would use a more subtle way to meet him so as not to cause a scene.

What Clyde thought was true. Nimue who has seen everything decides to be more careful.

She also laughed inwardly at what she just saw in front of her eyes.

Luckily, the servant from Hermes appeared to prevent the World Master from forming a contract with Clyde.

Thanks to him, Nimue didn\'t have to bother doing anything to stop him.

He was also not aware of her existence. Nimue\'s ability to hide was so extraordinary that she could even hide from the observation of a servant of a God.

\'He has killed two of the three Wendigos so far. Even though those Wendigos had dangerous abilities, that man could defeat them without much difficulty. Where exactly did he get such power?\'

Nimue can\'t help but also wonder about Clyde\'s powers.
