Chapter 66 New Skills

The abnormally long, gray, and skinny hands gripped Clyde's arms, legs, and neck. There seemed to be so many of them that Clyde could no longer estimate their number.

Meanwhile, the four Wendigos in front of him lunged at Clyde with their jagged mouths already open. Get ready to tear his flesh.

[ Pure Lightning (Lv.1) is activated! ]

At that critical moment, Clyde thought that the only way he could survive was to use the skill he had just acquired.

As soon as he activated that skill, Clyde felt his whole body filled with a tingling surge of power.

It felt as if there was an electric current running through every inch of his cells.

Clyde's body was flowing with brilliant bluish-white lightning energy.

Then the lightning spread in all directions and stung the Wendigos that were holding onto him and the three Wendigos that were charging at him from the front.

*ZZZZTTTT!!!*

Even though the lightning had stung them, the Wendigos didn't look like they were in pain.

They only looked shocked for a moment as the flash of lightning dazzled them.

But that was enough for Clyde. With that [Skill: Pure Lightning] he had managed to escape from the clutches of the Wendigos behind him.

This skill apparently can also affect Clyde's movement speed besides creating a flash effect that blinds them.

Coupled with his stats that have been maxed out, Clyde was able to avoid that dangerous situation in the blink of an eye.

He was now about ten meters from where he had been. The stair to go up to the surface is not far behind him.

The Wendigos let out screams from their ravaged throats. So that their screams sounded disturbing and heartbreaking at the same time.

'I will upgrade [Skill: Pure Lightning] to Level 10.'

In his mind, Clyde immediately upgraded the skill that had helped them the skill to the max because it was obvious that the skill would be very useful in this situation.

[ You upgraded Pure Lightning to Level 10! ]

[ Skill: Pure Lightning has reached Max Level! ]

Clyde clenched his fists. A savage grin appeared on his face.

"Now, lets the real fight begin."

"Khaaaaakhhh!!!"

"Khaaaaakhhh!!!"

"Khaaaaakhhh!!!"

...

The Wendigos let out an ugly scream almost simultaneously. After that, they charged at Clyde with extraordinary ferocity.

Their numbers had clearly increased a lot from before.

Clyde didn't have time to count them all but he estimated that there were now more than a dozen Wendigos for him to face right now.

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

*JJZZRRRTTT!!!*

Lightning covered Clyde's entire body, the lightning flash spread and dazzled the entire subway that was originally pretty dark.

Clyde also channeled the lightning energy into the Elderglass Sword. The blade instantly absorbed his lightning power. The translucent bluish blade gave off a brilliant white light and discharges of electricity.

*JJJZZZTTTT!!!*

The distinctive buzzing sound of moving electricity appeared when Clyde moved.

With his Stats and power from [Skill: Pure Lightning], Clyde's movements became much faster than before.

In the blink of an eye, Clyde was already in front of the Wendigos and slashed his Elderglass Sword.

*SRAATTT!!!*

*SRAATTT!!!*

*SRAATTT!!!*

...

Clyde swung the Elderglass Sword, slashing at the Wendigos in an imperceptibly smooth motion.

Only visible white flash movements can be seen moving so fast when Clyde slashes his sword.

Moments later, Clyde had already managed to slash the heads of a dozen Wendigos.

Their gray and bald heads fell to the floor of the subway and railway with splashes of blood.

In the midst of that gruesome sight, Clyde's figure stood with a body still flowing with brilliant white lightning.

After making sure there weren't any Wendigo left, Clyde deactivated his [Skill: Pure Lightning].

The white lightning disappeared from his body slowly. Clyde grinned in satisfaction.

"This is a good skill," he muttered to himself.

[ You gained 30(x1) Exp. ]

[ You gained 30(x1) Exp. ]

[ You gained 30(x1) Exp. ]

...

Clyde gets the same amount of notifications as the number of Wendigos he just killed. However, there is something different there.

'Oh, I see. At level 1, I will only gain Exp multiplied by 1. Then when I upgrade it to Level 10, I will gain Exp multiplied by 10.'

A wide grin returned to Clyde's lips. To think he would find skills like this was ridiculous.

Doesn't that mean that if a Player discovers that he or she has this skill, he or she can be said to have some sort of cheat?

'But I don't know. The setting of this apocalypse has probably been messed up in such a way that this kind of skill exists.'

Even if he had those Skills, Clyde couldn't let his guard down. Because you never know what will happen in this apocalypse.

'Let's not waste time.'

Clyde hurried off down the dark alley where trains usually passed. He now knew that the Wendigos were hiding in dark places.

Even though it was still early in the morning, Clyde couldn't relax because he didn't know how long it would take him to find the three Wendigos of different colors.

He also had no idea how strong they were or how long it would take him to defeat them.

So, moving as if there was no time left was the best decision Clyde could make in this situation.

Clyde walked down the dark tunnel for several minutes. But he didn't find anything.

This is pretty weird because Clyde is almost sure there will be a Wendigo hiding in here.

Clyde can even see the light from the end of the tunnel which indicates the end of this tunnel. But he found nothing.

'Could they be in that tunnel over there?'

Clyde wondered while looking back. Then without thinking he dashed the way he had come and into the tunnel on the other side.

Clyde finally heard the Wendigo's whereabouts. As he plunged deeper into the darkness, the Wendigos attacked him from all sides.

Clyde entered battle mode by activating [Skill: Pure Lightning] so he could quickly kill them.
