NOVEL WEB Chapter 65 Ambushed
Clyde hurriedly picked up the silver tube that had fallen on the subway floor.
He wanted to quickly learn the skill he just got but something was already holding his Dark Night Coat then swung Clyde backward.
*BUAGHGGH!*
Clyde hit the wall above the railroad tracks. He fell on the rail rocks hard.
Due to the sudden jolt, the silver tube containing the skill he had just obtained fell.
"Shit!" Clyde cursed. Because he was grinding his teeth, the curse came out as a hiss.
He immediately stood up and drew the Elderglass Sword from its scabbard.
Then his eyes darted around looking for the figure of his attacker.
But strangely, Clyde didn't see anything. He didn't even hear any sound as a sign of his attacker's whereabouts.
Clyde thought that what had attacked him earlier was definitely a Wendigo. But he had no idea that the Wendigo would be that powerful.
'Is that a Wendigo of a different color?'
The thought crossed Clyde's mind. The attacker ― if it was really a Wendigo ― was quite strong. And it's also could move with such speed.
Clyde hoped that it was the Wendigo that had a different color. Because if an ordinary Wendigo had that much power, then it would be really bad.
Because he didn't see anything appear and attacked him again, Clyde dared to step towards the place where his silver tube had fallen.
Clyde's eyes glanced around the dark corners at the end of the railroad tracks. Waiting for whoever will appear from within that dark shadow.
As soon as Clyde was one step away from reaching the silver tube, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps coming from the dark alley of the railroad tracks.
Clyde, who had expected this follow up attack to happen, immediately turned his body towards the sound.
He saw a gray figure moving towards him. It turned out that not only one was charging toward him but there were five of them.
"Khaaakkkhh!"
One of the five skinny gray creatures jumped at Clyde with a disturbing scream.
Clyde slashed the Elderglass Sword toward the creature. The bluish blade of the sword greeted the Wendigo's arrival with its incredible sharpness.
*CRAATTT!*
The Elderglass Sword's blue blade sliced through the Wendigo's head with ease. Like a knife cutting butter.
Clyde didn't even feel any pressure when he split that grey creature's head.
Red and Grimy blood also splashed after the Wendigo's head was split open. Its body fell next to Clyde with a disturbing sound.
The other four Wendigos stared at Clyde with their piercing yellow eyes.
Their body resembles that of a human. But their limbs were so skinny that there are only bones and skin remained.
And the length of their limbs is near twice the length of a normal human's limbs.
The first impression Clyde got from meeting them was that they were weak monsters but have high speed.
Even though he could easily kill a Wendigo with one slash of his sword, Clyde couldn't rest easy because the difficulty level might suddenly go up.
The Wendigos who appear to have anorexic bodies can become very strong in a short time.
According to the wishes of anyone who manipulated this apocalypse setting.
Clyde glanced briefly at the silver tube under his feet. Then he directly activated his skill.
[ Burning Hand (Lv.10) is activated! ]
*ZWOOOOSSSHHH!!!*
Clyde shot fire at the Wendigos. Then he lowered his body and picked up the silver tube on the floor.
"Khaaakkk!"
They let out heartbreaking screaming sounds. From that sound, Clyde thought they were burning in Clyde's flames from a skill that was at Level 10.
But it turned out that Clyde was wrong. The four Wendigos leaped through the flames extending their clawed hands toward Clyde.
Clyde was of course taken aback by the unexpected thing they did. He almost let his guard down and let the claw hit him.
But Clyde swung the Elderglass Sword swiftly to slash the Wendigos' arm as he jumped backward.
Their hands fell on the floor. But a moment later, their hands instantly grew back.
The regeneration process was so outrageous that it seemed as if there was no pause from the time the hand was cut off until it grew back.
'That is crazy!' Clyde screamed internally.
Not only that, but their burned skin also began to recover. Even though it seemed to take longer than the recovery from the slash wound, it was still an amazing regeneration.
They didn't waste time and immediately charged toward Clyde together.
'It looks like the way to kill them is simply to destroy or cut their heads.'
Clyde immediately opened the silver tube he just got in a hurry. Luckily he managed to open the lid before the Wendigos reached him.
A white light accompanied by a bit of electricity appeared and entered Clyde's body.
After that, he immediately threw the tube with all his might toward one of the Wendigos.
*BAAGHH!*
The silver tube hit the Wendigo's face hard and threw it backward.
Three of its friends don't seem to care about it. They are still charging with incredible ferocity.
Clyde who has finished learning his newly purchased skill is ready to fight them now.
He knew that the way to kill them was to strike them in the head. So he will do that.
However, Clyde didn't realize that reinforcements from the Wendigos would appear from behind him.
Long, thin, gray hands held Clyde's arms and legs.
'Shit!'
As if all of that wasn't bad enough, those hands were also holding his neck.
All those skinny gray hands held Clyde so he couldn't move. Meanwhile, the three Wendigos in front of him drew closer. The Wendigo that he had thrown with the silver tube had also lunged at him again.
'Let's try the skill now.'
Clyde just got a skill called 'Pure Lightning'. If indeed the skill lived up to its name, then it should be able to help him escape from this situation.
