Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

Reed fell to the ground with his arm nearly severed. In addition, freezing also began to spread from the bite wound on his hand to the rest of his body.

Clyde brought Asqa closer to Reed. Behind them, everyone was still fighting the Silver Lunar Wolf.

Clyde thought that another Silver Lunar Wolf that appeared must be because these four people were also taking the same Quest as them.

But looking at their state, shouldn't they have thought a little longer before taking on a Quest of this high difficulty?

Asqa and Clyde saw Reed's condition. Reed himself was unable to open his eyes. The pain plus the freezing was unbearable.

"Asqa, do you know how to use a Skill?" asked Clyde.

Asqa looks at him. Asqa remembers that Clyde said she could heal people. But she doesn't know how to use it. Asqa shook her head.

"It's easy. You just need to will it in your mind to use the Healing Skill."

Clyde paused for a moment as if thinking about something.

"Maybe you should stretch your hand towards the wound as well. Anyway, you have to heal him as quickly as possible. I have to help them."

"Ah-"

Before Asqa could say something, Clyde had already turned around and ran towards the fight.

Now Asqa is left with this injured man. Seeing his almost severed hand made Asqa wince between fear and nausea.

But since Clyde said she could heal people, Asqa gave it a try.

Asqa stretched her hand towards the wound. Then willed her mind to use Healing.

[ Healing (Lv.3) is activated! ]

A text appeared. Then warm white light started to come out from Asqa's hand and covered Reed's wound.

The freezing that had spread throughout his body began to dissipate. Not only that, the tissue of the hands that almost severed started to heal.

Reed slowly open his eyes. His previously thinned consciousness now starting to return.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt warmth on his sides and see the face of a beautiful girl.

"Who are you?" asked Reed.

"My name is Asqa. Please stay, I'm trying to heal you."

Her voice is also soothing. If this was the last sight he saw before he died, Reed wouldn't mind.

Asqa's serious face lit up with white light. She pursed her lips and concentrated fully.

Reed felt that the pain was starting to fade away. On the other hand, he was worried about his friends.

It turned out that, things weren't as smooth as before.

Previously, they deal with Silver Lunar Wolf by trapping it.

But who would have thought that the monster would run away? Causing attempts to trap it to be futile.

And now Reed was almost dead. Luckily there was a healer nearby. Reed raised his head to look at his friends.

Reed saw there was a man dressed in black helping them. It turned out that Reed had nothing to worry about.

*SWOOSH!*

The flames gushing from Clyde's hand made the Wolf jump backward

"Sonya!" Clyde shouted.

"Alright!" Sonya who had been aiming fired her arrow. The arrow flew and went straight into one of the Wolf's eyes.

"GRAAAHHH!" The Wolf screamed in pain.

"What are you waiting for?" said Clyde to the three strangers. "Attack!"

The three Regressors looked dumbfounded by what Clyde had just done. However, they didn't let the shock last too long.

"Let's go!" Rodney ran.

Eric took over the front position and put a shield in front of his body.

Silver Lunar Wolf branded its teeth. Just like before, its fangs extended beyond the lower jaw.

The Wolf then threw ice spears from its frozen furs.

"Eric!" shouted Rodney.

"I got it!"

Eric's shield gave off a golden glow then the golden light expanded and condensed into the form of a light shield that was five times larger than his original shield.

Mona and Rodney approached and took cover behind Eric. The ice spears hit Eric's shield of light and then fell to the ground.

The three Regressors continued their charge toward the Wolf.

Rodney and Mona ran to Eric's right and left. After that, their bodies gave off an aura indicating that they had activated a Skill.

Mona and Rodney apparently use the same Skill.

They slashed their swords, then from the slashes came out arcs of light that shot towards the Silver Lunar Wolf.

The two slashes hit its clear feathers. The damage they inflict is only not significant.

Clyde noticed that they seemed to have experience in combat. It is evident from their movement.

It was as if they had been prepared for this for a long time. This made Clyde even more suspicious.

Not only Clyde, but Sonya also felt suspicious. Yet she was more curious about one thing.

Sonya drew closer to Clyde. "You can defeat that Wolf monster alone?"

Clyde answered with a nod. His eyes were still watching the battle ahead.

"Why don't you help them? With your strength, the monster will be easily defeated."

"That's not our monster. You know that, right?" Clyde said.

Sonya of course also realized that the four strangers had taken the same Quest as them.

Now the four of them looked much better at dealing with the Wolf.

Earlier one of their friends made a mistake that caused him to be bitten. That mistake is unlikely to be repeated now.

Sonya turned and looked in the direction the man had been thrown. It turned out that Asqa was with him.

"Asqa is healing him?" Sonya asked.

"Yes." Clyde nodded.

Sonya watched them for a moment.

From this distance, the progress of his wound healing was not very noticeable. But Sonya was sure that the man was getting better.

The Silver Lunar Wolf let out another scream. This time its movement became faster.

Clyde frowned. The Wolf he had been up against had never been this fast.

"He entered Red Blood!" Rodney shouted.

"What does it mean?" Sonya asked Clyde.

If this was a game, then Red Blood might be the stage where the monster had entered a critical stage.

When entering a critical stage, usually the monster's stat will increase.

Clyde just happened to kill the Wolf before it entered that stage. He dropped the monster's HP too fast.

"Looks like it's going to be a little dangerous." Clyde walked over.

Sonya followed behind him. The three of them seemed to be having a hard time.

'Damn, the trapping plan went awry. Reed was dead. Do we have to just start all over again?!'

Rodney's mind was already thinking the worst.

He had been concentrating on the Silver Lunar Wolf in front of him ever since. He didn't even get to look at Reed.

In this battle, if he diverted his attention even a little bit, then it would be over.

At that moment Mona suddenly slipped from her footing. The Wolf who saw her fall opened its jaws wide at Mona.
