Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

Luccio was still staring at the screen with cold green fire in his eyes.

The longer he looked, it was as if the greenish light that looked like a fire burning inside his eyeballs getting brighter. It was a sign that Luccio\'s fury is also getting bigger.

"Whoever meets him, must have done it before the Guardians came. In that case, it will be very difficult to find out who the culprit is!"

Luccio\'s fists were tightly clenched at his sides. Even now, a dark green aura also appeared surrounding Luccio\'s body.

Even though the aura was thin but Agatha could feel that the pressure in this room was getting heavier.

She remembered how Luccio made her go through very torturous days by tying her to the wall with his chains that tore into her flesh at that time.

Subconsciously, Agatha swallowed her saliva. What if Luccio decided to take out his anger on her now?

Too scared and nervous, Agatha\'s mind proposed the idea to her.

In fact, Luccio wasn\'t someone who would commit violence if it wasn\'t necessary. About that time when Agatha decided to swing her weapon at him, Luccio punished her because he assumed it was the absolutely necessary thing to do.

Luccio\'s mind was now occupied with nothing but thought about how to renew his plan. He sat back on the couch and massaged his forehead.

"At this rate, I might not get another chance to make a contract with him," said Luccio.

"The Selection Stage isn\'t over yet, Senior. It\'s possible that later an opportunity will arise," Agatha said. Trying to be someone who consoled him.

Luccio turned to Agatha. She could still see the green flame in Luccio\'s eyes who was now staring at her.

"You\'re right," Luccio said. "It\'s possible... that opportunity will come. Even if it\'s not at this Selection Stage."

Agatha\'s brow furrowed upon hearing his words. Did he intend to continue visiting Clyde even after he passed this Selection Stage?

If that were true, then the obstacles Luccio would face would be even more difficult.

In Agatha\'s mind, Clyde would definitely qualify for Grade A. And that way he would become the target of many Celestials.

It meant that Luccio would be facing the Celestials who wanted to recruit Clyde when he wanted to meet him.

But it\'s different with Agatha. Clyde has completed the Personal Request that she gave. It gave her a special kind of bond with Clyde.

Once again, Agatha grinned inwardly. Now it was clear that she had more advantages than Luccio.

Agatha glanced at Luccio with a corner of her eyes. Luccio was looking at the screen very seriously. Probably he is thinking about his next plan while keeping his eyes on the course of the battle.

Agatha sighed while feeling how nice it was to have an upper hand. She now just had to enjoy the battle as an audience.

Back to the fight.

The Outer God began to increase the variety of its attacks.

It was no longer just throwing endless tentacles. It also started throwing various troublesome fire elemental attacks.

From the tentacles, fireballs flew out and shot toward the players.

They tried to dodge by scattering in all directions. However, the tentacles were too many and they kept throwing fireballs.

So, no matter how agile they are, those fireballs are still hard to dodge.

Unable to continue dodging, they started parrying and taking the fireballs in the face.

Luckily the fireball\'s attack didn\'t cause too much damage. It was because their Stats had been maxed out, and because of the influence of the Nightmare Orb\'s power.

\'That orb is incredible!\'

Clyde thought as he continued to jump and dodge every tentacle and fireball.

He had deactivated all of his Skills because he wanted to conserve Magic Power for the attacks he would unleash on the Outer God\'s true body.

But Clyde could only stare up with an annoyed expression.

He gritted his teeth because the Outer God had not fully descended yet. It just lingers behind this black mist with a pair of eyes looking down watching them.

Clyde wasn\'t sure if he could break through that layer of black mist.

The yellowish lightning was still flashing, indicating that the black mist contained a great concentration of Magic power. Penetrating it definitely won\'t be easy.

Clyde thought that he would most likely be able to break through the black mist if he exerted a lot of Magic Power.

But he would waste a lot of Magic Power that he could have used to attack the Outer God\'s true body. So Clyde can only wait for now.

He looked at the rest of his group. They are also struggling to avoid every incoming attack. Be it from tentacles or fireballs.

Clyde knew that the max Level of their Stats wasn\'t like his reaching Level 10. Therefore, no matter how hard they tried, they were still slower than him.

Suddenly, Asqa was hit by a strike from the tentacles. Her body flew into the air due to the great force. It didn\'t end there, the other tentacle came to swing from above her.

Clyde rushed to Asqa. Knowing that he wouldn\'t make it in time, Clyde activated [Skill: Pure Lightning] and took off at a tremendously surging speed.

In the blink of an eye, Clyde was already in front of Asqa and immediately swung the Elderglass Sword in front of his body.

The tentacles moved swiftly towards him, then met the Elderglass Sword that was enveloped in lightning.

Because the size of the tentacle was much smaller than the one Clyde cut at the beginning of the fight, now Clyde could cut it with less force.

*CRAATTT!*

The tentacle was cut in two. The other parts were thrown randomly while the other parts were retracted back to the Outer God\'s original body.

Asqa landed hard on the ground. Clyde landed a moment later after her.

"You alright?" Clyde asked.

"Yeah, I\'m fine," Asqa answered while trying to get up. She can get up easily indicating that she is indeed just fine.

"Don\'t you have a plan?" Asqa then asked Clyde.

And then, Clyde got an idea when he was seeing Asqa.

Asqa has the Skill to increase attack power, and Clyde will definitely need that Skill when he sees an opportunity to attack.

"I got one," said Clyde.

Asqa widened her eyes, looking excited. "What\'s that?"

"I\'ll explain later. Now you have to stay close to me."

Asqa immediately nodded when he heard that answer.

The other tentacles came toward them as if they didn\'t want to give them a chance to take a break. Moreover, the tentacles also fired fireballs at the two of them.

Clyde held Asqa\'s hand so they wouldn\'t be too far apart. Because he needs her to always be near him.

Asqa who realized Clyde\'s tight grip reflexively looked at her wrist. There, Clyde\'s wide arms gripped her small arm tightly.

But Asqa knew that the gesture was nothing more than an effort so that Clyde could get her help right away when he needed it. So she won\'t think too much.

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

*BOOM!*

...

Explosions were created behind them non-stop. Debris flew from the building being hit by the fireballs and tentacles. But Clyde and Asqa can avoid it all.

What happened now was almost the same as when they fought The Devourer. The tentacles that kept coming without stopping were aiming at them as if they had their own consciousness.

But now something was different. Now there are additional fireballs that come with the tentacles.

And those tentacles are much stronger than those from The Devourer. Showing that the monsters they were fighting right now were different.

*BLARRR!*

*BLARRR!*

*BLARRR!*

...

The lightning above them flashed with a loud boom after moving silently before.

"That must be a sign that something is going to happen," Clyde muttered as he kept his eyes up.

Asqa, who was next to him, was silent. Her heart pounding with fear and anxiety grew louder, because she knew that Clyde\'s words were true.

The air around them also grew heavier as the yellow lightning flashed loudly.

They are supposed to be paralyzed by now. However, due to the influence of the Nightmare Orb, they were still able to endure quite well.

After several minutes of only focusing on dodging, Clyde finally saw what he was waiting for.

The black mist and yellow lightning above them split apart as if pushed by a tremendous force.

Then finally, the shape of the Outer God\'s true body started to become more obvious.

"That\'s it!" Clyde said. He then pulled Asqa closer to it.

Asqa, on the other hand, could only grit her teeth as fear gripped her. The sight of the Outer God\'s figure getting clearer made her blood freeze.

Yet, Clyde didn\'t seem to realize that and continued advancing while pulling her hand.

Asqa swallowed her fear deep into her gut because she didn\'t want to become a burden to Clyde\'s plans.
