YM778.TV Chapter 120 Fall
Gremory was still in her seat. Her chest moved so quickly up and down following her breath. The sweat on her face also dripped down as if water had just been splashed on her face.
Although the Gremory hadn\'t moved far from where she was since just now. She only stood a few steps away from her chair but the exhaustion on her body was so great.
Nimue is still next to her. She didn\'t expect that her master would do that for Clyde who was an ordinary human.
She was even willing to use a lot of Mana just to break through the Guardians\' defense in a secret way to convey that message to Clyde.
Nimue knew that what Gremory had just done was very dangerous.
Not that Gremory - as a Demon Duchess - was afraid of the World Masters and Guardians. She was sure that if measured by strength, Gremory would have the upper hand.
But the consequences if she is caught breaking the rules are major. And the consequences cannot be overcome by her power alone.
There was a reason why the Celestials were so reluctant to break the rules of not interfering during the Selection Stage.
They can only start moving after the Candidates - Players - finish the Selection Stage and arrive at the Neutral Zone.
That was because those rules were agreed upon by all inhabitants of The All Territory.
They all made an Oath not to break the rules after an incident.
So, the weight of these rules will befall anyone who violates them with severe consequences.
However, cheating will continue to occur because the Celestials want to get strong Candidates. So the regulation underwent a slight change that was never discussed.
That change is, they will commit interference, but not get caught.
The Selection Stage system that Clyde was in happened to be a very bad system. So that made many Celestials able to easily infiltrate there.
It was also the factor that made the Selection Stage so different. They can find out about Clyde\'s whereabouts and powers. Then compete with each other to get him.
Gremory is one of the most successful of them. She has succeeded in getting Clyde to complete her Personal Request so that she now has a kind of bond with Clyde.
The bond was enough to give her a greater chance of being able to send telepathic messages to Clyde without being noticed. Though still, she had to use a lot of Mana to be able to do that.
Gremory looked at Nimue with a weak smile. She realized that Nimue had been watching her with a worried look all along.
"Nimue, have you forgotten what you saw back then?"
Nyume was silent. Clyde is indeed very strong. She acknowledged that. But seeing her master go through such hardships for a human being, made her feel uncomfortable.
"Don\'t you worry. I\'m not in as bad a condition as you think. I already have a little bond with him."
Seeing Gremory smile as if satisfied with what she had just achieved, Nimue couldn\'t say anything to refute her anymore.
Nimue smiled. "If you say so, Your Grace."
After a while when she saw the way Gremory\'s eyes were glinting when she talked about Clyde, there was a feeling of irritation in Nimue\'s heart that she couldn\'t explain.
Nimue just realized it now. She had never before felt any resistance to anything Gremory did, or wanted.
However, why did she feel that way now? Could this be a bad premonition about Clyde?
Nimue suddenly clenched her fist on the side of her body. But she immediately released her fist again before Gremory noticed it.

Clyde can grin when he saw the gaping gash on the Outer God\'s thigh. That wound looks so disgusting. The pale flesh melted and charred after being hit by Clyde\'s red fireball.
Besides that, it turns out that the fireball has a quite surprising effect. The flames that came from the fireball didn\'t immediately disappear but burned the meat of the Outer God\'s thigh.
The flames were dark red and contained Demonic energy that dealt terrible damage. Because the fire didn\'t go out for some time and instead spreads around.
Seeing that, Clyde wasn\'t the only one who felt that there was great hope before them. The other group members were no less delighted.
Realizing that now he could deal amazing damage, Clyde continued to move closer. The closer he attacks, the more damage he will inflict, right?
But the challenges that will come to him will also be bigger. Clyde could feel the hateful gaze of the Outer God.
The Outer God opened its mouth to five different sides. Clyde could now clearly see its throat which looked like a bottomless abyss.
Then from within the abyss, an energy shot came. The shot looked like a pitch-black pillar and headed straight for Clyde with incredible speed.
Clyde with a body still covered in red lightning can dodge it properly. But he only barely evaded. His left shoulder was hit by that attack and now his Dark Night Coat had a hole in it.
Seeing that the attack could break the Dark Night Coat\'s defenses and make his arm bleed, Clyde wasn\'t too surprised.
He had already guessed that the monsters he was fighting now were completely different from all the ones he had faced before.
But right now he doesn\'t have time to deal with the wound on his left shoulder. The Outer God had returned to direct its mouth towards him. In no time, it fired that pitch-black energy again.
Clyde this time moved by taking cover behind all the rubble and ruin, intending to block the Outer God from seeing him.
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
The shot from the Outer God\'s mouth created an explosion when it hit the floating ruins. Clyde ignored all that and kept going.
Not long after, he was right in front of the Outer God\'s knee. Clyde held the Eldgerglass Sword with both hands and channeled his Magic Power into it.
The power of [Skill: Pure Lightning] combines with Demonic power. Creates a dark red and bluish-white energy vortex on the blade of the Elderglass Sword.
Clyde clenched his teeth, then stabbed as hard as he could into the Outer God\'s knee.
*JWOOOSSSHHH!!!*
The shot hit the Outer God\'s knee and shattered it. Clyde was unable to puncture the knee, but he managed to inflict a large gash.
The Outer God let out a groan of pain that seemed as if it could split the sky. Then it collapsed into the part of the earth that was still not destroyed.
*BOOM!*
As soon as the Outer God fell, all the ruins that had been flying toward the sky abruptly stopped. Then fell simultaneously.
This incident made Clyde and all the players who were standing in ruin panicked.
They lost their footing instantly and fell along with the rubble. Plus, there is rubble that will fall from above them.
Fortunately, Clyde was able to quickly control himself amid this chaos. He immediately used the Elderglass Sword to split the rubble and ruin that fell from above him while watching where he would fall.
Of course, it is not an easy matter. Clyde turned to the rest of the group and wondered how they were doing.
He thought of coming to save them. However, it turned out that the Outer God did not remain silent despite having fallen.
The Outer God opened its mouth again and this time instead of shooting, it let out several black orbs that shot toward Clyde.
The orbs didn\'t attack him directly. Instead moving around Clyde as if intending to attack him from multiple sides simultaneously.
"Shit!"
Clyde can\'t help but curse. During this chaos, he still had to be careful so the orbs didn\'t hit him.
Luckily, the jet-black orbs didn\'t seem to be targeting anyone other than himself. At least that way Clyde wouldn\'t have to worry about the others.
Clyde focused his Magic Power. The Demonic power that was in his sword has now possessed him as well. On instinct, Clyde used that power to propel his body forward.
He slashed the Elderglass Sword at all the rubble in front of him. Clyde made his way toward the Outer God who was now trying to get back on his feet.
The orbs shot towards him from all sides. Clyde spun around and slashed the Elderglass Sword around him.
Dark red curved sword slashes shot out every time he slashed the blade and they shot towards the orbs.
But unfortunately, those orbs were stronger than the orbs that Clyde had cut before. He thought he would be able to destroy the orbs but it turned out that they were still able to endure and were only pushed back a bit.
That\'s enough to buy Clyde sometime so he can move closer to the Outer God. As soon as the orbs got close again, Clyde had to release another energy slash.
After being hit several times, the black orbs finally shattered. Still, it\'s not over because from within the orbs comes the mini form of the Outer God.
"You gotta be fucking kidding me!"
