Chapter 72 Finishing Jacob

At this point, it's clear what Clyde should do. He walked closer to the green Wendigo.

Her footsteps were slow and careful so as not to trigger it and attack him. At least before he got any closer.

[ Inspection (Lv.3) is activated! ]

Clyde tried to see how the information from the green Wendigo was.

Viewed from anywhere, that green Wendigo was an anomaly even in the midst of this apocalypse.

<<<Monster Information>>>

[Name: Green Wendigo. ]

[ Affiliation: Undead Monsters. ]

[ Level: 47 ]

[ Skills: Scream (Lv.5), Healing Factor (Lv.3) ]

[ Stats: Strength (7), Stamina (5), Agility (7), Magic Power (3) ]

[ Weaknesses: - ]

[ Affinities: - ]

[ Rating: A (C) ]

'This monster's Level is almost the same as the Corpse Bringer Dragon and the two huge zombie berserkers that became the BOSS yesterday, just a bit higher. So, this green Wendigo might not be a monster that Players should be able to kill.'

However, like yesterday, he would kill that Wendigo now. And also two other Wendigos which are also anomalies.

When Clyde was walking closer, suddenly the Wendigo's eyes moved to look at him.

Those yellow eyes were piercing and now looked the same as how ordinary Wendigos stared. Lifeless and only filled with madness.

"What are you going to do?" the green Wendigo - who said its name was Jacob - asked in a sharp tone.

Clyde gripped the hilt of the Elderglass Sword tightly. He didn't say anything in answer to Jacob's question.

Instead, Clyde lunged at it and slashed the Elderglass Sword with incredible speed and power.

But Jacob managed to block the blade by raising its hand. The Elderglass Sword's blade dug into Jacob's green arm, pale blood flowing down.

Jacob's yellow eyes stared at the arm impaled by the sword. Its jaw clenched and it gritted its teeth.

"You..." Jacob turned back to Clyde and let out a growl. "Why are you attacking me?"

"You are a monster, bastard. What do you expect me to do?" replied Clyde in an even voice.

Jacob's lips parted. Clyde could see rows of razor-sharp teeth that were finally exposed.

"DIDN'T I ASK YOU TO SAVE ME?!" Jacob shouted.

Then it swung its hand to hit Clyde's chest.

*BUAGHHH!*

Clyde was pushed back several steps until he hit a wall. When he looked back up, Clyde saw that Jacob had already lunged at him.

"HYAAARGGHH!!!"

That voice still sounded like a normal human scream. It wasn't like a Wendigo scream with an already broken throat.

Jacob swung its fist.

*BRAAKKK!*

The huge fist made a hole in the wall. Clyde had rolled onto his side so he didn't get hit.

Clyde who was already beside it swung his Elderglass Sword. But once again Jacob raised his arm to hold his sword.

The wound caused by the Elderglass Sword earlier had disappeared. Its [Skill: Healing Factor] is quite troublesome.

Clyde didn't know how good its healing power was, which had reached Level 3.

If it proves to be able to heal Jacob's wounds in a very fast time no matter how big the wound is, then Clyde really has to fight harder in this battle.

[ Burning Hand (Lv.10) is activated! ]

Clyde stretched his hand towards Jacob then let out fire at it.

*ZWOOSSHHH!!!*

"ARGGHH!!!"

Jacob let out a loud scream. It was as if it was in pain because it had just received that burst of fire.

Clyde drew his Elderglass Sword and then proceeded to slash it at Jacob again.

*SRAAATT!*

Clyde slashed at its thigh. The slash knocked Jacob to it's knees on the floor.

Clyde, of course, immediately wanted to use this opportunity to slash it in the neck.

However, Jacob stretched out his hand - which seemed to be a bit longer than before - and grabbed Clyde's leg.

Jacob grabbed Clyde and then swung him against the wall.

*BUAGHH!*

Jacob smashed Clyde against the wall. But he didn't finish there.

Jacob then swung Clyde toward the rows of tables and chairs.

Clyde's body that had violently thrown shattered the table and chairs. Splinters of wood fly in all directions.

'Shit, that bastard is pretty strong.'

Clyde winced at the pain from Jacob's grip on his leg. It turned out that the Wendigo with green skin was indeed stronger than the Corpse Bringer Dragon he had fought yesterday.

Clyde struggled to his feet again. But when he looked up, Jacob's fist was right in front of his eyes.

*BUAGHHH!*

Clyde was thrown backward, then through a glass window behind him, and fell down from the fifth floor of the building.

Clyde fell to the ground very hard. Luckily the Dark Night Coat he was wearing lessened the pain he was receiving.

When Clyde looked up, he saw Jacob jump from the window.

'Shit!'

Clyde cursed in his heart as he rolled away.

*BOOM!*

Clyde managed to get away before Jacob landed its foot to stamp on Clyde's head.

"Grrhh..."

It groaned. Its yellow eyes now looked brighter than before.

Jacob lunged at Clyde. Its large feet made a loud thump against the ground as it ran.

Despite seeing the monster charging toward him, Clyde didn't look too worried.

That monster was indeed quite strong. But Clyde also hasn't used all his strength yet.

[ Pure Lightning (Lv.10) is activated! ]

*JZZRRTTTT!!!*

Bluish-white lightning came out and surrounded Clyde's body.

Part of the lightning energy also flowed into the Elderglass Sword causing the blade to be filled with streams of bluish-white lightning that flashed a brilliant white.

*ZZZTTTT!*

Clyde shot toward Jacob with incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, Clyde was already in front of Jacob and was swinging the Elderglass Sword almost without pause.

*SRRAATTT!*

Jacob's outstretched arms were about to catch him, flying after being slashed.

Clyde who was already behind Jacob then slashed its back.

*SRAATTT!*

Jacob's pale blood spurted and the green Wendigo slumped forward.

However, Clyde saw that the arm that he cut earlier had begun to regenerate.

Even though the speed was slower than the healing of the wound just now, it still looked impressive.

Jacob charged back at Clyde even though the arm was still not fully healed. But Clyde was already moving to slash its leg.

*SRAATTT!*

The Lightning power covered Elderglass Sword's bluish blade and sliced ​​through Jacob's leg smoothly. The slash also sent a stream of lightning up its body.

"ARRRGHHH!"

Jacob let out a scream of pain as part of its body was once again sliced ​​open. And its body was stung by lightning.

The screams sounded like the screams of a man who was in pain.

Jacob fell to the ground. Immediately the leg that was cut off from the thigh began to heal itself. However, of course, Clyde will not let it.

Still enveloped in the bluish-white lightning, Clyde turned his body towards Jacob as he swung the Elderglass Sword and chopped off its other leg.

*CRAAAT!*

Jacob let out another scream of pain. Although the screams did sound like ordinary human screams in agony, Clyde didn't think so.

To him, what came out of Jacob's mouth was nothing but a human-like scream that came from a monster's mouth.

So he stays firm on what he has to do, which is to kill it as fast as possible.

"No! Wait!" Jacob said while stretching its hand which was almost fully regenerated towards Clyde.

*CRAAAAT!!!*

However, as if he didn't see it, Clyde slashed the hand again. Jacob screamed again.

Clyde jumped on top of it. The light from the bluish-white lightning that covered Clyde's body dazzled Jacob's eyes.

It couldn't see anything. All it saw was a rotating sight as its head detached from its body.

Jacob's head fell not far from its body. For a few seconds, the green Wendigo's consciousness remained in its head.

So that it can still see Clyde standing over its body.

Clyde jumped down and deactivated [Skill: Pure Lightning].

The streams of bluish-white lightning on his body and sword disappeared in an instant.

Jacob looked up at Clyde who was staring at him from above with cold dark eyes.

"I... Asked you to help me. But... You killed me instead," Jacob said in a low voice.

"You can't be saved anymore," Clyde said.

"Is that so? Uhh..."

Jacob's yellow eyes closed slowly. Then close completely. The Green Wendigo is dead and Clyde gets a notification written in pink on a black background.

[ 1. The Green Wendigo's killed (1/1) ]

Clyde gains no Exp from killing the green Wendigo. But he didn't mind.

Clyde didn't know what kind of rules prevented him from getting Exp. But since he managed to complete one Personal Request, Clyde felt that it was enough.

Of course, there was some reason Gremory wanted him to kill those three Wendigos of various colors.

Even though he knew that there was a risk that he would just be used by Gremory, Clyde decide to take it because he would also gain valuable information.

In a world like this, Clyde didn't expect that everything would turn out the way he wanted. But at least he intended to try to reduce the risk he would face as much as possible.

Clyde felt his stomach growl again. It wasn't even five minutes from when he finished his cheeseburger.

"This is starting to get worrying," Clyde muttered to himself as he took another cheeseburger from his Inventory.

Then he walked over to look for Wendigos again while eating.

'I can't look for food anymore because everything has rotted.'

Actually, there is still quite a lot of food in his Inventory. However, if this hunger came this fast, Clyde wasn't sure that there would be enough food.
