Chapter 56 Unexpected Development

With her healing abilities, it didn't take long for Asqa to recover Mona from her previously critical condition.

That's how strong Asqa's healing abilities are now. She had always considered herself useless before this. However, everything she has done proves otherwise.

Everyone can see this except for Asqa herself.

Mona opened her eyes shortly after Asqa was done with her healing.

She turned and found Eric, Sonya, and Asqa in front of her eyes.

"I thought I was dead," Mona said in a low voice accompanied by a sigh.

She felt relieved. It turns out that she hasn't died yet and is back for another Regression turn.

"You won't die that easily with Asqa in our group," Eric said. Then stretched out his hand.

Mona grabbed Eric's hand and stood up from the hood of the almost flattened car.

"Thank you," Mona said, looking at Asqa.

Asqa nodded with a small smile.

"Let's go. We have to get to Rodney and Reed as soon as possible," Sonya said.

The two of them might as well be in deep trouble. They already know what happened.

Someone messed up again with the setting of this apocalypse. So they didn't know what unexpected thing would come next.

But they don't forget to take the artifact pieces inside the monster's body.

Eric who was in charge of opening the monster's chest and taking the artifact pieces then put them into his Inventory.

They left the place to find Rodney and Reed.

On the other hand, in the white room, Clyde is struggling to finish the 10th wave.

Everything passed quickly enough without Clyde noticing. He slashed and burned all the monsters until the fight made his body feel a little bit tired.

The monster has started to get stronger than in the initial waves. But Clyde can still handle them easily.

Now, he is fighting monsters called Skeleton Warriors. As their name suggests, they are skeletons wearing plate armor, swords, and shields. Like a warrior.

Clyde had already killed half of them. Now he only had to overcome the other half.

"Hahhh..." Clyde exhaled. This battle began to feel a burden on his body. But that doesn't mean he can't take the long fight to survive.

A sword suddenly thrust from behind him. Clyde realized that with his keen senses.

He dodged by moving his body sideways. The sword was only inches away from hitting his body.

Clyde immediately swung the Elderglass Sword at it.

*TANGGGG!!!*

The sword flew up. But the Skeleton Warrior was still able to maintain its grip on the hilt of the sword.

Clyde then lunged at the Skeleton Warrior and swung his arm to hit the part of its face that was not covered by its helmet.

*DRAKK!*

When Clyde's fist landed on its face, the sound of bones cracking was loud. If it was a human who was still alive, the blow would definitely hurt a

lot.

But the Skeleton Warrior who had eaten Clyde's punch was still able to stand straight.

It even counterattacked again by bashing its shield toward Clyde.

Clyde raised his hand to block the shield bash.

*BAGHH!*

Clyde felt considerable pressure from the attack. But it's still not a problem. All because of his maxed out Stats.

Clyde then kicked at the Skeleton Warrior. The kick hit its plate armor hard and didn't cause significant damage to it.

However, that kick pushed the Skeleton Warrior away and gave Clyde some space.

Because he knew that another Skeleton Warrior was attacking him and he didn't want to be stuck in that position.

Just as Clyde had predicted. A sword swung right where Clyde's neck should have been.

But Clyde had dodged by ducking to avoid the sword.

Clyde then activated [Skill: Burning Hand]. With that, he spewed flames toward the Skeleton Warrior behind him.

The flames enveloped the Skeleton Warrior. Then Clyde jumped and immediately responded with the same attack as the monster did earlier.

Clyde swung the Elderglass Sword which had been overflowing with Magic Power towards the Skeleton Warrior's neck bone.

*KRAAAKKK!*

The sound of the bone Clyde managed to cut through was loud and painful. The Skeleton Warrior's head fell to the floor.

But Clyde didn't have time to celebrate. Because the other Skeleton Warriors were already approaching the crystal he had to protect.

And the Skeleton Warrior that he had kicked earlier had

already lunged back at him.

Clyde dashed with his incredible speed toward the Skeleton Warriors who were closing in on the crystal. Then he slashed the Elderglass Sword.

Unfortunately, the Skeleton Warrior managed to block his attack with its shield. The Elderglass Sword's bluish blade just hit that shield.

But it doesn't matter because Clyde has the plan to attack.

Because [Skill: Burning Hand] was still active, Clyde threw a fireball from his gripped hand toward the Skeleton Warrior's face which was not protected by the helmet.

That is a very big flaw for them. However, Clyde was very grateful because they weren't wearing helmets that cover their face.

There are some spots that are not protected by their armor.

The face and neck were spots that should be well protected but they were clearly exposed.

Clyde's flames seared the Skeleton Warrior's facial bones. The bone that was originally white was instantly burnt black by the power of a skill that was already at Level 10.

Clyde then thrust the Elderglass Sword into the Skeleton Warrior's face.

The bluish and transparent blade pierced through the skull bone and killed the Skeleton Warrior instantly.

As soon as Clyde drew his sword, he wasted no time and immediately dashed toward the other Skeleton Warriors.

The fight continued for several minutes. Until finally Clyde managed to kill all the Skeleton Warriors.

"Phew..." Clyde sighed as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. "It's quite a challenge."

Suddenly, a shocking notification appeared before Clyde's eyes.

[You have successfully passed Wave 10. Quest Rank will be increased. ]

Clyde frowned. "What the fuck?! I never knew it would turn out like that!"
