Chapter 75 Troublesome Woman

Clyde has to know idea why the reactions they all give are the same. They always looked surprised when Clyde attacked them.

Do they really not realize that they have become monsters like that? Can't they see the change in their form? Clyde couldn't stop thinking.

"A Monster?!" You think I'm a fucking monster?!" Candice asked. She took off her glasses now. Revealed bright yellow eyes and blue skin.

'So she's the blue one.'

Clyde finally got his second target. The blue Wendigo turns out to be a woman. More precisely, used to be a woman.

"I'm already turned like this. But I'm not a monster!" Candice added.

"Do you remember what happened before this?" Clyde asked.

He also wanted to know what happened about why were Wendigos with different colors and different abilities were created. And why do they always have no memory of what happened before they changed?

"I..." Candice looked confused. "I don't know. I forgot."

Clyde had expected it. Like what he saw when meet that green Wendigo named Jacob. Candice also loses her memory.

"Well then," Clyde said. "You know where this is going."

Candice's eyes suddenly shot up at him quickly. "So you want to kill me?"

"Isn't that pretty obvious?" Replied Clyde.

Candice was now standing straight. It was as if she no longer wanted to run away after Clyde had declared animosity.

Clyde wonders if they are humans who were somehow turned into Wendigos, by something unknown.

And they may still have their feelings or traits from when they were human. It is something very unique. And of course so cruel.

At least those Wendigos with gray skin no longer remember anything but their hunger.

However, the different colors Wendigos probably felt very miserable because they still had human consciousness and were afraid because their bodies had become like that.

Clyde already knew that this apocalypse was something fucked up. But he didn't know that there would be humans who would suffer such a fate.

Clyde felt some sympathy for them. But just a little. So, it wouldn't bother him to do what he had to do.

Candice took off her mask and gritted her teeth. Clyde could finally see rows of sharp teeth that looked like spikes growing from her gums.

"Now you understand," Clyde said.

"I won't let you kill me!" Candice threw a dozen ice spears at Clyde that shot through the air.

Clyde who didn't expect that she could do that was shocked. He immediately activated his Skill to deal with the attack.

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

*ZWOOOOSSSHHH!!!*

Clyde's left hand which was not holding the sword caught fire and he let out a torrent of fire toward the ice spears that were flying toward him.

Instantly, the ice spears immediately disappeared because they were melted by the power of the fire.

Candice who looked like a woman in her thirties groaned angrily. She gritted her teeth seeing her attacks countered by Clyde.

So she immediately ran towards Clyde. Her footprints left a trail of ice behind.

Candice's hands were encased in hardened ice enveloping her fists.

Clyde who noticed Candice approaching transferred the power of [Skill: Burning Hand] into the Elderglass Sword causing the bluish blade of the blade to glow with fire.

Then Clyde approached her without fear.

"HAAARRRGHH!!!"

Candice screamed as she threw one fist at Clyde.

Clyde blocked the fist with Elderglass Sword. Then he kicked Candice in the stomach sending her flying backward.

Clyde immediately caught up with her. With his Stats already maxed out, Clyde can catch up to Candice in the blink of an eye in this short distance.

Candice's eyes widened at his next to her. She also saw Clyde raise his flaming sword and swing it at her neck.

*KRAAK!!!*

The moment the flaming blade of the Elderglass Sword struck Candice's neck, the sound indicating it had hit something hard was heard.

Clyde frowned in surprise. He should have been able to slash Candice's neck. However, a hard object appeared to block the blade.

'Ice!'

Clyde could see that there was already ice covering Candice's neck.

Candice grinned at the look on Clyde's face. She created a dagger out of ice in her hand and immediately slashed it at Clyde.

*TANGGG!*

Luckily, Clyde was still able to quickly raise the Elderglass Sword to block the ice dagger.

Candice then reached out her other hand towards Clyde to hold his neck. But once again Clyde was still able to avoid it by jumping backward.

Candice did not stop there. When Clyde was several meters away from her, she create ice spikes that seemed to appear from the ground at him.

But Clyde was no longer worried about that. Since his [Skill: Burning Hand] was still active, Clyde swing the flaming Elderglass Sword and sent an attack in the form of a curved wall of flames toward the ice spikes.

*ZWOOOOSSSHHH!!!*

The wall of fire that shot out from the Elderglass Sword collided with the ice spikes and melted them instantly.

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

Clyde's body was enveloped by bluish-white lightning and he immediately shot toward Candice through his wall of fire.

*JZZZZTTTT!!!*

In the blink of an eye, Clyde was right in front of Candice and immediately slashed the flame-covered Elderglass Sword at her with all his might. This time, Clyde used more power.

*SLASH!*

*ZWOOOSSHHH!!!*

The slash was followed by flames burning from the wound it had inflicted. The fire instantly spread throughout Candice's body and devoured her.

Clyde already felt that he had won after seeing Candice's body burn.

However, when he didn't hear any screams coming out, Clyde immediately felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Clyde saw white steam coming out of Candice's burning body. It is a sign of evaporation.

Clyde immediately jumped back to guard and put out the flames. When the fire was gone Clyde saw that all there were a few chunks of ice left.

'It's not her!'

Clyde glanced around. Based on what he saw Candice had swapped her body with an ice clone she had created.

What Clyde attacked earlier was just her ice clone and now she's running away.

"Where did that bitch go? !"

Clyde cursed loudly. He didn't expect that his enemy would be smart enough to run away when she felt cornered.

Monsters that had even the slightest bit of intelligence left would be extremely troublesome.

Clyde proceeds to rush to find Candice. It wouldn't be too difficult since there were faint ice trails she left behind as she ran.

The tracks were small and only looked like scattered bits of ice. Part of the trail had melted too but even so, Clyde was still able to track her.

Candice ran toward the narrow alley that was located between the two buildings.

He immediately went in there and didn't think much because he was driven by annoyance that the monster had run away and made more problems for him.

It was a mistake. From above, suddenly hundreds of ice spikes fell very quickly.

"Shit!"

Clyde felt trapped. But that doesn't mean he can't escape this situation.

Clyde slashed the still-burning Elderglass Sword upwards.

The slash that sent out a burst of flames expanded upwards and grabbed the dozens of ice spikes.

In an instant, Clyde had managed to overcome the ice spikes trap that fell on him.

After all that was done, Clyde finally caught sight of Candice the blue Wendigo leaping over the building.

So Clyde chased her with a burning rage.

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

*JZZZYYYTTT!!!*

Clyde's body was surrounded by bluish-white lightning again. He no longer thought that he might be wasting his Magic Power now. His annoyance at the blue Wendigo was already big enough.

He shot up and climbed the building with ease. Not long after, Clyde was already on top of the building.

Candice who was about to jump over the wall turned to him with a frightened face.

Candice also said some curse words that she said in a hurry.

"Come here you, bitch!" Clyde shouted.

Candice directs her hand towards the pool of water which is located not far from her.

From the three pools of water, three ice clones shaped like her emerged.

Then Candice sent the three ice clones she had created toward Clyde.

Clyde gritted his teeth. Then dashed with a body covered by that bluish-white lightning.

Candice's three Clones each created two ice daggers in their hands. Clyde realized that their speed had increased more than Candice's. He didn't know how that was possible.

One ice clone attacks from the right, another from the left, while the other doesn't attack. As if waiting for the right opportunity.

Even though they attack from two sides at the same time, Clyde's speed, who already has maxed out Stats plus [Skill: Pure Lightning], cannot be matched by them.

Clyde ducked to avoid the daggers that were aimed at his head. Then spun while slashing the Elderglass Sword toward the two ice clones simultaneously.

*KRAAAKKK!!!*

*KRAAAKKK!!!*

The Elderglass Sword that was still burning with flames cut their neck easily. However, the two clones were still not destroyed.

'What?'

Clyde felt very confused. But it was only for a moment because he finally knew what was really going on.

When he looked back, an ice clone that didn't join in the attack earlier was already moving away from him.

Meanwhile, the two ice clones that Clyde had just beheaded regenerated and then immediately charged toward him.

Clyde cursed loudly. He regretted that he had forgotten to use [Skill: Inspection] on Candice.
