Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

Her hunch wasn't wrong at all. Joining the two of them was truly the right decision.

[ "Skill 'Hunter's Marker' purchased. 1,000 coins used." ]

Clyde handed the silver tube to Sonya. Sonya accepted it with pleasure.

She immediately opened the tube and a purplish ray entered her body.

"What are you doing?" Asked Asqa who was confused looking at them all this time.

Sonya and Clyde turned to her.

"We bought a Skill. Uhmm...it's a kind of magic ability," Sonya tried to explain.

"Sorry, Asqa. It's not that I don't want to buy you one. But for now, there's still nothing that suits you," Clyde said.

"Ah, it's okay. Besides, I can't help you either," replied Asqa with a sad smile.

"You don't have to worry about that," Clyde smiled faintly.

Sonya wondered if the two of them were dating. She admits that Asqa is cute. So naturally, Clyde would like her.

If that's true then Asqa is much luckier than her.

"How are we going to destroy it?" Sonya asked.

"I'll go straight ahead. You, support me from behind with your bow. Asqa can wait here," Clyde replied.

Clyde drew the sword from his waist. "Let's go."

The giant egg began to hatch. A crack appeared and got bigger.

Clyde knew he couldn't waste any more time and immediately ran towards the crowd of ant monsters.

Sonya summons her bow from Inventory into her hand.

"Asqa, hide in this store. Don't come out until we're done. Do you understand?" Sonya said to Asqa.

Asqa replied with a nod. Sonya left the convenience store and locked the door.

Clyde ran and slashed his sword. The movement was so fast that the ants couldn't react.

The number of ant monsters was probably over a few hundred. And they all work together to surround Clyde. Preventing him to get any closer to the egg.

Clyde made a circular motion with his sword. The movement cut off dozens of ant heads around him like a sharp knife slicing through a sausage.

*SRAAT!*

*SRAAT!*

Clyde spun, jumped, then fell into the crowd of monsters. Then he slashed again.

The sword seemed to stick to his hand and Clyde was sure that it would not slip from his hand even if he twirled the sword.

'This is what Weapon Mastery Level 3 can do!'

Its clear blue blade reflects the sunlight like a mirror. Making this battle look even more like a battle in a fantasy fairy tale for anybody watching from afar.

That's how Sonya felt.

Seeing Clyde slashing down the ant monsters without a problem made her gape.

"If this is a real game, then he must be a cheater," Sonya muttered.

Clyde thought so too. He feels like playing an MMORPG game with only him playing it in easy mode.

While others play it with the hardest mode possible.

Too much engrossed in enjoying the battle he knew he had already won, Clyde didn't realize that he had already wiped out countless ant monsters.

Trimming their number down to maybe a hundred.

[ "You leveled up!" ]

[ "You leveled up!" ]

[ "You leveled up!" ]

[ "You leveled up!" ]

[ "You leveled up!" ]

...

So many notification sounds that indicate that Clyde has leveled up. However, he didn't rush to check his Attribute Window.

Instead, Clyde walked toward the giant egg. But he soon noticed something strange.

"CRACK!"

"CRACK!"

The cracks that appeared enlarged much faster. A black hand came out from inside the shell.

"Shit, did I waste too much time?" Clyde kinda regretting it.

But he didn't feel anxious. Maybe at least, this BOSS can be quite a challenge for him.

The ant monsters that were swarming around gathered together behind the BOSS that was about to hatch.

Red light mixed with a dark aura emitted from the egg along with a shockwave that threw trucks, cars, lamp posts, and everything around.

Yet Clyde stood unwaveringly and only covered his eyes with one hand. His slightly long dark hair was pushed back.

Sonya clung to one of the nearby poles and thought about going back to the convenience store with Asqa. She didn't have to do anything to help, Clyde could handle it himself.

"Yes, that's better!" Sonya made up her mind and then ran to the convenience store again.

But before she arrived, from the ground appeared an ant monster that immediately grabbed her leg.

It made Sonya fall straight down. Fortunately, the bow did not slip out of her hand.

"Shit!" Sonya cursed and then turned around to shoot.

One of Her Private Attribute's abilities, Shadow Ranger, allows Sonya to create arrows directly at the bow.

So she doesn't have to worry about running out of arrows as long as her Magic Power is sufficient.

"Take this, you damn ant!"

Sonya shot her arrow right into the ant monster's head. Sonya then released her leg from the monster's black hand when the monster died.

"SKREEE!!!"

Abruptly, the screams of the ant monsters became louder and louder. They all seem to be speaking in unison.

Sonya turned and saw Clyde still standing in front of the egg. Meanwhile, the creature from inside the egg began to crawl out.

The eyes of the ants around turned bright red. It wasn't long before the BOSS was finally freed from its shell.

"SKREEEE!!!"

The BOSS was in the same form as the surrounding ants.

It's just that it's twice as big. On its head, there is also a pair of horns like bull horns. On the BOSS's four hands were sharp claws like daggers.

The ants around calmed down when their king had appeared

"Fuck!" Sonya immediately stood up. "I need to get outta here!"

Sonya ran back to the convenience store faster than before.

Suddenly Sonya heard a big bang. She stops.

Then she saw Clyde slide and hit the highway creating several holes.

He was bouncing several times before finally hitting the building and coming to a stop.

"CLYDE!"

It was clear that Clyde had been hit by the BOSS. Sonya was worried.

However, her worries didn't last long because Clyde had risen again.

He took off his torn uniform. The originally flat-faced Clyde was grinning.

A moment later he disappeared from where he was standing.

'BOOM!'

As soon as Sonya turned she saw Clyde and the BOSS facing each other. Clyde's sword collided with the BOSS' claws. Shockwaves spreading everywhere.

Sonya was surprised that Clyde could move so fast she couldn't see his movements.

Clyde had already fought the BOSS. Their movements were so fast and destructive.

"This is not something I can get involved with."

Sonya ran into the convenience store like her life depend on it. Because it is.
