Clyde continued to advance through the wall of fire he had created himself. Since the fire was created from his mana, it wouldn't hurt him. After all, it was only a relatively small fire attack.
After he pierced through the flames and saw the raptors wailing in pain from the flames, Clyde wasted no time and rushed to slash them.
*CRAAAT!*
*CRAAAT!*
*CRAAAT!*
...
In the blink of an eye, Clyde had killed the raptors. Their bodies lay on the ground in various conditions such as severed necks and sword wounds all over their bodies.
Clyde shook the raptors' blood off his blade then put it back into the scabbard. Clyde didn't see any notifications which meant the power of the system that managed the Exp of the creatures he killed was still not working.
Clyde ignored that and immediately moved to find a place where he could mine the iron ore. He was sure that Hammer would definitely send him to the closest place to the mining spot.
After about a minute of walking, Clyde finally saw a collection of gray and reddish rocks. Based on what Clyde knew from the internet before things turned out like this, Clyde knew that the rocks was that iron ore.
So Clyde walked over there and took the pickaxe from his back. He just noticed that there were runes engraved on the hilt of the pickaxe indicating that this pickaxe had more functions than just digging ores.
Clyde slams the pickaxe against the gray rocks. Sparks that were brighter than they should appear when the point of the pickaxe touched the rock.
The runes etched to its side glowed red and a moment later something like a hard gray lump fell beside the rock.
Clyde picked it up and studied the lump for a few moments.
"This looks like Iron Ore. Is it really that easy?"
Not wanting to think too long, Clyde threw the iron ore he just got into his backpack. Then continue mining again.
The fact that it only takes one swing to mine makes things so much easier. Turns out his guess was right. The pickaxe is not an ordinary pickaxe.
He continued mining the Iron Ores until all the rocks there were used up. Not feel the time has passed for half an hour.
Even though it had been that long, Clyde didn't feel too tired because he only needed one swing to extract the Iron Ores from the rock.
His backpack was already full until it was doubled in size. But once again, Clyde didn't feel the burden was too heavy.
Everything was going so smoothly that Clyde could hardly believe it. The only obstacles he encountered were the five raptors from earlier.
He didn't know whether his backpack was still enough or not to be able to load Ores again. But Clyde still decided to continue this solo expedition.
He explored farther and farther until he finally saw the ruins of the city in the distance. His curiosity gave Clyde the impetus to walk that way.
Clyde wanted to see what was left in this world that was supposed to be destroyed. Until now, what he saw was almost the same condition as the last time he saw it in his world when he fought the Outer God.
So all worlds that have become the choice of World Masters will become like this. All lives, memories, dreams, and all things that the inhabitants of this world might have were simply wiped out at the will of those World Masters.
Clyde didn't feel a great sense of loss at all.
However, he knows that other people living in the world must find it all very meaningful. And suddenly, one day, without any warning it was all gone in six days.
He felt grateful for not having any meaningful memories or important dreams. That way he can get through all of this more easily than anyone else.
When he arrived at the ruins of this city, Clyde saw that there were still some zombies wandering around aimlessly. Some of the zombies even move without complete limbs. They pull themselves up with their hands, or with only the one hand they have left.
For Clyde it all was not a problem. He strolling in the ruins of the city like enjoying a walk on the weekend.
'Can I find monsters that having body parts that could become good materials?' Clyde wondered.
He wanted to find out about it because in the novels or games he played before, monster body parts could become good materials to make equipment.
Even though Clyde wasn't one hundred percent sure at the moment, he still wanted to try to find a monster that looked strong and prove that.
A moment later he found the figure of the monster he was looking for. That is a monster that looks strong enough.
*ROAR!*
The monster let out a roaring sound that rattled the surroundings. Even the floating plants and ruins shook with its roaring.
Clyde drew closer to the T-Rex-shaped monster. However, there was something different about the T-Rex's body.
If normally a T-rex had two short and almost useless arms, now that T-rex has long arms and has long claws on its five fingers.
Besides that, there are also red crystal thorns that glow with a certain rhythm on the T-rex's back. All of that was enough to be a sign that the T-rex would be quite a troublesome challenge for him.
Clyde, who was initially excited, suddenly felt hesitant when he realized the weapon he was carrying.
'Can I fight it with these shitty swords?'
*ROAR!*
But Clyde's hesitation disappeared when he realized that strange T-Rex had seen him. And now its lunged towards him with footsteps that made a thump and vibration like an earthquake.
'Well.' Clyde drew one of his sword. 'I guess I have no choice but to use this shitty sword for the time being.'
Clyde guessed he had to spend more Mana when all of his weapons were destroyed. If that's the case it's fine because that could also be a way to test his current power.
Clyde lunged at the T-rex, approaching it with a look ready to fight. But what happened next shocked him.
The T-rex opened its mouth, the crystal spikes on its back glowed more intensely as if sending energy into its open mouth.
A moment later Clyde could see the red energy gathering in the T-rex's throat.
*ZWOOOOSSSHHH!*
The T-rex shot it at Clyde with incredible speed. Clyde, who didn't expect such an attack to come at him so quickly, barely had time to dodge.
The shot scratched the left sleeve of his coat and instantly tore the brown coat. Clyde's skin also suffered minor injuries but they were not deadly.
'I can't count on the protection of this armor against that weird T-rex either.'
Clyde scoffed in annoyance. But he didn't think about it any further and continued running towards the T-rex.
The T-rex looks ready to shoot the red energy again at him. This time, after seeing what his enemy could do, Clyde started fighting seriously.
He accelerated his run while avoiding the T-rex's red energy shot. Behind him, damage after damage continued to occur and it seemed as if it might catch up with him at any moment.
But Clyde ignored that, his eyes focused on the T-rex with murderous intent.
He channeled Mana into his left hand that was not holding the sword and immediately lit that hand on fire. Clyde threw several fireballs into the T-rex's eyes.
However, the T-rex swung its long arms and blocked Clyde's fireballs targeting its face. It seems that what evolved was not only its body but also its dinosaur brain.
Even though he failed to hit its face and blinded its eyes, Clyde was not too disappointed because in a split second he had arrived at the T-rex's place.
*CRATTT!*
Clyde slashed at the T-rex's leg with all his might. However, the sword was only able to penetrate the outer skin of the T-rex. Clyde gritted his teeth as the blade seemed to have reached its limit. Even as soon as he wanted to pull it out the sword was stuck there.
The T-rex was already aware of his existence near it so Clyde had to let go of the sword if he didn't want to be swept away by its claws.
Clyde rolled away and then jumped, barely avoiding the claws that almost ripped his head off.
He pulled out his other sword and lunged at the T-rex again.
*ROAR!*
The T-rex swung its claws simultaneously but Clyde dodged them with a nimble move. The claws stabbed through the ground behind him.
Now, knowing that the sword couldn't cut through the T-rex's skin, Clyde didn't bother to cut its body and chose to aim at the softer parts. Its eyes.
"Whoops!"
Clyde kicked the ground and threw his body up. The T-rex was about to claw him in the air but Clyde was able to avoid it by spinning in the air.
What he did didn't make him to avoid all the attacks of the claws. After all, he was in the air. But still, that was better than taking all those claws head on and letting himself be thrown away.
Once he got in front of the T-rex's face Clyde coated his blade with fire and threw it into its eyes.
*CRAATT!*
*SWOOOOSSSHHHH!*
As soon as the sword stabbed into the T-rex's right eye, the fire immediately strike and spread to its eye and burned its right eyeball instantly.
