A few minutes earlier...
"HA HA HA HA!!!"
Agatha let out a loud laugh. Her voice echoed off the white wall. Luckily she was alone, otherwise, people who heard her laughter would think that she was crazy.
Even Agatha's tears also flowed down because of her laugh. All because of what she saw on the monitor screen in front of her.
On the screen was being shown a very entertaining scene. That is the scene when Luccio is humiliated by a servant of God.
Agatha couldn't hold back her laughter. The satisfaction in her heart was too great and the happiness when she finally saw Luccio's helpless form in front of a servant of God was truly priceless.
Agatha actually hoped that they would fight and see what happened next.
She was sure that Luccio would be beaten up by the servant of God. And that will make her even more satisfied.
Unfortunately, Luccio is quite wise in making decisions. Even if he was angry, he still managed to keep himself from attacking the servant of God impulsively.
Agatha's laughter finally stopped. At first, she was quite worried when she saw Luccio leave this white room.
He must have finally thought that this was a good opportunity to meet Clyde.
Because of that she immediately sent a message to Clyde to keep everything a secret.
Luckily, Clyde agreed to that. He wasn't too stupid and was aware of his position.
Even though Clyde doesn't know anything about what's behind the apocalypse that befell his world, he knows that there are powerful beings that he can't mess with as he pleases.
And then Clyde saw that two strong beings were almost fighting before his eyes.
A World Master and a servant of God who is most likely a servant of God Hermes.
Nothing like this had ever happened before. Even though Agatha hadn't been a World Master for a long time, she knew that no human could create such a large turmoil in the Selection Stage.
"That guy is just different," Agatha muttered while looking at Clyde who was now walking after seeing the unusual incident before his eyes.
He didn't even look surprised and just walked over casually. It was as if what he had just seen was nothing important to make him surprised.
A small smile appeared on Agatha's lips. "Maybe he will make another shocking change."
A lot is waiting for Clyde after this Selection Stage. And Agatha has a hunch that he is the start of something that could break the existing order.
Maybe the road to get there is still far away. Even though he was indeed strong, Clyde was still an ordinary human. He was still unable to rival Gods, Demons, and Angels.
"I'll look forward to it, Clyde."
Agatha thought that she would be the observing spectator and didn't want to involve too far. This will be a very interesting spectacle for her.
The double doors opened. Luccio came inside with a scary face. His jaw was stiff and there was a kind of dark green flash of fire in his eyes.
Agatha immediately changed her attitude to silence. The image of the torment at that time was still very clear in her mind.
Now Luccio's mood is not at all good. So, there is still a possibility that he will take it out on her.
Luccio threw himself on the couch which immediately absorbed his body. Luccio exhaled loudly.
"Did you see what happened just now?" Luccio suddenly asked.
Agatha nodded with a doubtful and scared expression.
"It's Hermes," Luccio said. "More and more impudent Celestials have entered our Selection Stage and messed it up. It's all because of this trash system."
Even though Luccio spoke without shouting, Agatha could feel the pressure in every word he said.
Agatha actually felt amazed about how Luccio could still act calmly when his anger was burning inside his chest.
"We have to act to protect our Players from outside interference," Luccio said as he stared at the screen with his green eyes still burning.
'Protect? You mean to keep him for ourselves and so that nobody makes a contract with him?' Agatha thought while laughing disparagingly in her heart.
"Alright, Senior. What should we do?" she asked. 'Not that I hate that idea, though.'
Luccio was silent and seemed to think for a few moments before finally speaking. "I'll go to our Headquarters to ask for a solution. You don't need to do anything for now."
Agatha nodded obediently. "Yes."
Lucci turned back towards the screen in front of him. "I won't let those Celestials get away with it again."
~~~
He no longer felt hungry. That's a good thing for the current situation.
But, wouldn't that make those World Masters suspect that he didn't appear to have eaten anything?
So Clyde ate a chocolate bar snack until it was half gone. Then put it back into the Inventory.
At least he seems to have eaten something. Even if he only ate a little, those World Masters would conclude that he had run out of food and decide to save it.
'So there is more than one World Master.'
As he continued walking Clyde started to think. So many things had happened in the past few moments that he didn't know where to start.
First, he knew that there was the other World Master named Luccio.
Then a new figure appeared in an unusual outfit. The man looked like he came from a fairy tale about Gods and Goddesses.
But considering all that had happened, it was no longer something of a surprise.
One thing that became the center of his mind right now was Luccio's words that said that he had the key item to defeat the Outer God.
If that's true, then Clyde will need it.
'But before that, I have to know what the contract actually contains.'
Luccio didn't show him anything. There was only writing that seemed to be an order saying that he had to just sign it right away.
'It must be because he was sure that I would accept it right away.'
As Clyde was walking while thinking, he felt pressure from behind him.
By reflex, Clyde twisted his body while pulling out the Elderglass Sword.
He then saw someone standing on a street lamp post. He seems to be a man judging from his body build.
He was wearing a brown robe that was worn and fluttering in the wind.
Unfortunately, Clyde couldn't see the man's face because it was covered by a cowl that cast a shadow on his face.
Clyde could feel that the man's eyes were looking at him from under his cowl.
He was definitely not an ordinary human because there was no way an ordinary human would stand on a street lamp post so easily.
"Who are you?" Clyde asked.
The man didn't answer. He was still in his original position without showing any movement.
"If you don't start talking, I'll attack you. Don't waste my time." Clyde gripped the handle of the Elderglass Sword tightly and prepared to attack.
"Whatever, we're going to kill each other in the end after all." Finally, the man spoke. His voice is deep and doesn't sound natural.
Upon hearing his words, Clyde could not help but frown. 'Is he... The red Wendigo?'
The man spoke as if he already knew what Clyde was doing before this and what he was going to do next.
"Are you the red Wendigo?" Clyde asked.
The man opened his cowl. A bald and dark red blood head can be seen.
'So it's true.'
Even though he knew that his target was right before his eyes, Clyde didn't attack immediately. He immediately used [Skill: Inspection].
But before Clyde could use the Skill, a bolt of red lightning flashed and shot toward him.
*BLARRR!!!*
The lightning destroyed the road where Clyde had been standing. Luckily Clyde still manages to avoid that fast and powerful attack.
'Red lightning? I thought he would use fire!'
Clyde is getting another surprise now. Having previously seen the blue Wendigo give off the power of ice, it was only natural that Clyde would think that the red one would have the power of fire.
However, Clyde's expectations were missed. The red Wendigo didn't even waste time talking or asking for help as the green and blue Wendigo did. He just straight-up unleashed his attack on Clyde.
'Alright.'
Clyde dashed to approach the red Wendigo. The red Wendigo shot his red lightning in succession toward Clyde.
*BLAARRR!!!*
*BLAARRR!!!*
*BLAARRR!!!*
...
Clyde could bend his body to avoid the red lightning shots.
The asphalt on the road that was struck by it shattered and flew up creating a mist of ruins that lasted a few moments.
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm Clyde shot out from behind the white mist. His eyes stared straight at his target who was still standing on the street light pole.
[ Pure Lightning (Lv.10) is activated! ]
*JZZZYYTTT!!!*
Brilliant bluish-white lightning enveloped Clyde's body and Elderglass Sword, making his already incredible speed even faster.
Clyde kicked the ground and shot at the red Wendigo. In the blink of an eye, Clyde was right in front of him and immediately swung the Lightning-shrouded Elderglass Sword.
*CLANG!*
The red Wendigo also took out his sword which was red in color and seemed to be made of red lightning that hardened into a blade.
When the Elderglass Sword's blade collided with it, a shockwave accompanied by bluish-white and red lightning spread out in all directions.
Clyde then kicked the red Wendigo in the stomach and knocked him off the street lamp post. Meanwhile, Clyde also fell back on the road.
'As expected, this will be a troublesome battle too.'
