Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode



The flames that burned the wyvern's body spread light and waves of heat throughout the forest. Leon, Albert, and Wiley who were about to charge forward felt a sudden hesitation.

"What should we do now? If we get any closer, we'll catch fire as well," said Albert.

Leon glanced at the wyvern. Even though its body was burning, the wyvern could still fly through the air as if all the flames on its body were no big deal. Instead, the fire only adds to its strength.

"GRRRHH!!!"

The wyvern let out an angry-sounding growl. Its eyes looked down to find someone who had made it like that. It didn't take long for him to find Clyde, standing nonchalantly looking at him.

Without waiting for too long, as soon as they found Clyde, the wyvern immediately swooped down with ferocity exuding from every inch of its body.

Clyde didn't shy away. Instead, he raised [Skill: Burning Hand] and channeled the Skill's power into the sword he was holding.

*BWOOSSHHH!*

The flames that burned the sword became three times larger than before. Now it's as if Clyde is holding a club made of fire instead of a sword.

There was a sudden glint of wariness in the wyvern's eyes when he saw Clyde's sword on fire. The wyvern could also feel the aura of Clyde's power even from this distance.

However, it was now too late for it to dodge so the wyvern continued its dive regardless of what happened. It also drains more Mana so that the fire that burns its body strengthens and enlarges.

The wyvern intended to use all of its strength for this dive. The monster was also prepared if it was going to die with Clyde.

On the other hand, the figure controlling the wyvern clenched his fist tightly.

'What? He could handle my wyvern without fear. That must be because he is quite confident in his power. Who exactly is that child?'

The sage could see that the boy was standing unfazed even when he had mobilized his wyvern for a suicidal dive.

'Let's see now...'

At that place, Clyde was still standing unfazed with his sword on fire in his hand. He even only gripped the sword with one hand, indicating that he had not used all of his strength.

The wyvern shot down faster and faster. It came like a meteor about to destroy the Earth.

And at that time, Clyde kicked off the ground and then shot up with incredible speed to approach the wyvern.

*BOOM!*

They clashed in the air. Their clash caused an explosion that filled the sky with flames and sent a heat shockwave around that made the huge trees crouch as if they were drowning in fear.

Leon, Albert, Wiley, Lola, and Rosie stopped where they were for cover. The after effect of clashing was too strong even for them. They didn't expect that they already had to face such a powerful challenge when they just arrived at this place.

A moment later a huge mass of fire fell on the ground causing a huge crash and tremor. The five of them turned towards the impact and realized that what had fallen was the wyvern with its body still burning.

However, now the wyvern was suffering from heavy injuries all over its body. That pair of wings had been cut off leaving the base of the wings bleeding.

Clyde landed not far from the wyvern. There were some sparks burning around his body but Clyde just brushed it with his other hand that didn't hold the sword as if it was just dust.

"It's dying!" Clyde said at his five encounters. "Finish it!"

They immediately came out of hiding places with complicated faces. They didn't seem to have done anything and Clyde had already taken care of the wyvern.

Except Lola who had fired her arrows and hit its wing. Even so, Lola still felt that she did not contribute enough.

"Is it okay for you?" Leon asked while looking at Clyde.

"What do you mean?" Clyde asked.

"We're like leeching from you while you do all the hard work."

Clyde looked into the faces of all of them. They showed the same troubled expressions as Leon.

Clyde sighed. "It would be a waste of time if I let you fight it. And we don't have much time."

Upon the hearing, the five of them felt like they had been punched in the guts. Clyde basically said that they weren't strong enough to beat the wyvern quickly. They're just too weak. 

The five of them couldn't say much because that was the truth about them. 

"Now kill it and let's continue our journey." Clyde walked past them. He went in the direction the map indicated in his vision.

Wiley shrugged his shoulders. Among his friends, it seems that he is the one who can accept Clyde's words the most.

"Let's kill it and gain some Exp. A monster this big will definitely give us a lot," said Wiley as he walked and stuck a blowdart in his mouth.

Others certainly will not just stay silent. Although they still feel a little gloomy, they will still kill those monsters.

On the other hand, Clyde waited for them while concentrating on getting back to contacting that someone from the Order of Mindweaver. But to no avail.

A few minutes later his five companions finished killing the wyvern. 

He turned his head and saw that the wyvern had instantly shattered into fragments of light as soon as it died. It further emphasized the fact that the wyvern wasn't the sage's pet sentient being.

"We're done here," said Leon.

Clyde nodded. Then they continued their journey. And of course, they will not continue the journey smoothly.

After the wyvern, now hordes of small green creatures carrying crude weapons came rushing at them from all directions.

"What the fuck are they?!" Albert cursed with widened eyes.

"They look like Goblins," Clyde replied. "They should be weaker than the wyvern just now."

The three dozen of goblins attacked them while letting out disturbing shrieks. With that, they entered into another fight.
