Clyde managed to send the flying creature backward with just one kick. That proves that they are not too big of a threat.
It created relief in Clyde's heart. Sonya and Asqa who saw this also felt relieved.
"Let's keep moving!"
Clyde continued his steps to open the way. Behind, Asqa and Sonya followed at a pace they were trying to match with Clyde.
But in the end, even though they were trying their best to keep up, Clyde continued to lengthen the distance between them.
Clyde soon realized that they were both left behind. He looked back and saw two of the odd flying creatures flying up from behind them.
Clyde reactivated [Skill: Pure Lightning] and lunged back at them.
Asqa and Sonya only saw a bluish-white flash of lightning in front of them that move so fast.
Clyde immediately slashed the Elderglass Sword at the two flying creatures. His slash created an arc of lightning that hit the heads of the two creatures.
The two odd flying creatures fell down like dead birds in midair. Clyde watched how they fell just in case they both flapped their wings and flew towards him again.
But that didn't happen. The two creatures fell to the ground and lay there. The absence of any movement from them indicated that they were already dead.
Clyde returns to Asqa and Sonya and deactivates his [Skill: Pure Lightning].
"I'm going to move slower now," Clyde said, looking at the two girls.
"Thanks for understanding," Sonya replied with a sigh of relief.
They proceeded to split the chaos in front of them. Clyde acts as a pathfinder and protector who protects them from all directions if Sonya feels unable to move fast enough.
They saw Rodney in front of them. He is also in the same predicament. There are three odd flying creatures that jump at Rodney from three different directions.
Clyde could see that Rodney could defend well. Even though he couldn't beat those three creatures like him.
Rodney glanced up when he noticed Clyde, Sonya, and Asqa approaching. Then he returned to fight the creatures.
Rodney's problem is gone with Clyde's coming. A bluish-white flash passed around him.
When he realized what was happening, Rodney could see that the bodies of the three flying creatures that had attacked him were already lying around.
They just died when Clyde came. He didn't take long, as if he was just casually passing by and suddenly the creature was dead.
Rodney is increasingly aware that Clyde's strength cannot be underestimated. Even when he had obtained such a powerful [Title], Rodney wasn't sure if he could beat Clyde in a head-on battle.
Clyde stopped in front of her and deactivated [Skill: Pure Lightning].
"You can see where your other friends are?" Clyde asked. The urgency was clear in his voice.
"No. We all lost each other in this mess," Rodney replied.
"Okay. Let's go find them." Clyde prepared to start moving again.
"What are you planning?" Rodney asked.
"I will kill that Outer God." Clyde looked at Rodney with eyes full of conviction. Once again, his face showed no hesitation. He said it like how he said it to Sonya earlier.
"But... How?" Rodney couldn't stop thinking.
"With your help," said Clyde. "Now we have to rendezvous with others first. Come on!"
Without waiting for a reply from Rodney, Clyde already rushed to move again. Although he did not know where to start looking.
Rodney gritted his teeth. In fact, he did believe that Clyde could kill the Outer God.
Rodney knew how strong Clyde was and he thought that his chances of killing the Outer God were quite high.
What Rodney was worried about was that if Clyde managed to kill the Outer God he would gain new power. Either in the form of [Title] or other rewards.
If that happened, then his chances of killing him would be even more difficult.
"Hey! What are you thinking? Come on!"
Sonya's voice made Rodney flinch a little. He wasted no time and immediately followed Clyde. While thinking of a plan on what to do when what he was worried about happened.
Clyde moved swiftly up front, slashing and parrying the yellow lightning and fireballs like it was all no big deal. Asqa, Sonya, and Rodney who had joined followed behind him.
Rodney also knew what he had to do. Needless to say, Clyde was in charge of protecting the rear. Rodney immediately did that and immediately relieved Sonya's burden and Asqa's fear.
A moment later Clyde saw where Reed and Mona were. It was such a nice coincidence that they were together.
Clyde immediately informed the others. Upon hearing that, they rushed to Reed and Mona to fight their way through all obstacles.
It was obvious that Reed and Mona felt relieved by their arrival. But their expressions became tense again when they heard Clyde's plan.
However, they knew that there was nothing else they could do. So, they immediately joined in on Clyde's plan without thinking about it too long.
The six of them are looking for Eric who still hasn't been found in the midst of all this chaos. They had not found him yet, and that made them start to worry.
And then, Asqa shouted while pointing down.
"That's him!"
They followed the direction Asqa pointed and saw Eric lying on the ground covered in blood. The two crows winged creatures surrounded him as if they wanted to immediately devour him.
They were all so shocked that they couldn't think fast. Amidst all that, a bluish-white flash was created and shot toward Eric.
Clyde has already made his move to save Eric. In the blink of an eye, Clyde was already below and started slashing his Elderglass Sword.
Clyde danced with overflowing speed and power. Splitting and decapitating the creatures until there was nothing left around Eric.
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm Luckily, the others weren't stupid. They also immediately shot after Clyde after he cleared the flying creatures.
Asqa as well immediately swiftly approached Eric and checked on his condition. Asqa saw that Eric had serious wounds all over his body. The wound was caused by a scratch and stab of a sharp object.
Other flying creatures started arriving from above. They flew flapping their crow wings amidst the yellow lightning bolts and tentacles. Creating a frightening scenery.
"Cover me!" Asqa said.
Everyone who heard her knew immediately what they had to do. They immediately formed a protective circle while Asqa used her Skill to heal Eric.
More destruction began to occur around them. From a distance, they could see the ground, trees, and buildings starting to rise up and then being absorbed into the black mist.
The sight conjured up an image of doomsday right in front of their eyes. They immediately knew that time was running out. They may even have less time than they think.
"Hurry!" Reed turned to Asqa who was healing Eric and shouted in a panicked tone.
"His injuries are so bad. He is dying. I will need some more time!" Ashka replied.
She didn't know why it took her longer to do this healing. With [Skill: Healing] already at Level 10, she should be able to quickly heal Eric as she did before.
'Unless...'
Asqa saw the scratch and stab wounds. Everything was caused by that strange flying creature. Could it be that the wounds they had caused dealt more damage than normal wounds?
That is a big possibility. In fact, Asqa felt that it was almost certain.
She pumped up her Magic Power even more to heal Eric. She was also aware that around them, nature was approaching destruction very quickly. But she couldn't lose focus now.
The rest of the group is also struggling with a bigger burden now. Besides they have to dispel the tentacles, lightning, and fireballs, they also have to protect Asqa and Eric from the debris around them.
"How much longer, Asqa?!" Clyde asked.
"A little bit more!" replied Asqa. Moments later, she said. "It's done!"
Eric opened his eyes. The pain in his whole body was gone now. But he was immediately greeted by the horror scene of doom that was right in front of his eyes.
"Get up, man!" Reed pulled Eric's arm who was still stunned by what he saw to stand up.
Seeing that Eric had stood up, without wasting any more time they immediately left that place.
As soon as they left, the ground they stepped on was immediately absorbed upwards along with other objects around it.
"Now where should we stand?" Sonya asked in a voice full of fear.
Clyde didn't answer her right away because he didn't know how to answer either. There was only one thing on his mind right now.
"We're running out of time. Let's start attacking the Outer God directly." Clyde spoke while looking at the other group members.
He could see the despair in everyone's eyes. Unfortunately, he is not someone who can give a speech that can burn their spirits. All he could do was say what he would do next.
