章節 4: Boss
Clyde slid his sword into the scabbard at his waist. He and Asqa walked slowly through the crowd.
The people here stared with curious eyes but also didn't really care.
Assuming the two teenagers are a couple caught in the middle of this disaster.
However, someone was watching from behind the crowd. Someone noticed the weapon on Clyde's waist.
The girl narrowed her eyes. 'There's no way that sword was picked up on the street.'
Some people had brought their weapons. Some carry pipes, pruning shears, self-made spears, and so on. Everything they get on the street.
They will take anything to defend themselves as best they can. But no one managed to get a sword.
Moreover, the sword on the boy's waist looked good. The sheath just looks normal. The plain black color without any ornaments.
But the girl could see the powerful aura surrounding it. All because of the skills she has.
Standing up slowly, the girl followed Clyde and Asqa from behind the crowd stealthily.
"Let's sit here first," said Clyde.
They both sat in the corner of the station.
Asqa's eyes looked at everyone in here sadly. But given that there was nothing she could do, Asqa could only sigh.
While Clyde was flat-faced. He immediately thought of what steps he would take next.
If this is a scenario, then there must be some kind of objective that they have to complete to finish this Prolog.
But what he saw in that floating text message was, that they just had to survive.
But for how long?
Suddenly Clyde heard Asqa's belly grumble next to him. He turned his head and saw Asqa's face was red, looking down.
"That's not me," Asqa said in a low voice.
Clyde snorted. "I'll try to find some food."
Clyde stood up and looked around. Then he found a vending machine.
"There's a vending machine. Wait here," said Clyde.
Aska nodded.
Clyde walked over to the vending machine. He saw several pairs of eyes paying attention to Asqa.
It is natural because Asqa is indeed a cute girl. If this was the usual situation Clyde wouldn't be worried because they wouldn't dare do anything in public places.
But this is an apocalypse. Humans can be very brutal because they are desperate.
Moreover, before this disaster occurred, even depraved humans already existed.
'I have to hurry.' thought Clyde.
Clyde just had to move quickly to the vending machine and take the food back to Asqa.
After he finished buying some snacks and canned drinks, Clyde immediately walked back to Asqa.
But suddenly a group of men had gathered around Asqa. Seeing this, Clyde begins to rush to her.
"You alone?" asked one of the four men. "We can protect you if you want to come with us."
Asqa seems to be getting restless. But when he saw Clyde approaching, she became relieved.
"Clyde!" Asqa called.
Clyde walked his way through the crowd of men and nudging them to make way.
If the world still went on as before, Clyde definitely wouldn't be this brave.
But he knew that now he was much stronger than everyone else. So there's no reason to be afraid.
"You okay?" asked Clyde.
Aska nodded. "Yes."
"Hey, kid. Weren't you taught manners?" one of the men shouted at Clyde.
His demeanor had started to become aggressive.
Clyde faced them with a calm expression. "It's best if we don't make a fuss. In a situation like this, wouldn't it be better if we just cooperated?"
Despite saying that, Clyde was sure that what he said would not change their original intention.
The man snorted. He spread his arms and received a pipe from his friend.
Clyde sighed. He thought, 'Don't they see the sword at my waist? or do they think the sword is just a toy?'
Asqa retreated behind Clyde.
"Stop it. Can't you see I have a better weapon?" Clyde pointed at his sword that was still hanging from his waist.
"Haha... It must be just a toy sword you pick up to scare people, right?" the man asked disdainfully.
Clyde shakes his head. There's no point wasting time talking common sense with these people.
So Clyde drew his sword.
*Shiiing...*
The sound as the sword was drawn was much louder than Clyde had expected. Everyone who could hear the voice turned their head.
Including the girl who was observing from afar.
'You fools,' thought the girl. 'But that's good too. So I can see what the sword looks like.'
Clyde pointed his sword at the man.
"This sword is very real," said Clyde flatly.
The three men behind him looked at each other. As if reconsidering the life decisions they took to get to this situation.
The man holding the pipe started to retreat. They just left without saying anything.
Clyde slid his sword back into its scabbard.
Everyone turned their faces away. As if they didn't want to be seen watching him.
"I can't believe it. There are still people like that during a disaster like this," said Asqa.
"Yeah, sorry to leave you earlier," said Clyde.
Aska shook her head. "That's okay."
Asqa started eating the snacks that Clyde bought.
A voice accompanied by floating text came out again, startling everyone.
[ PROLOG: UNDERGROUND MONSTER. ]
[ PROGRESS: AN EGG HAS APPEARED AT THE ROSARY JUNCTION. ]
Then the video screen appeared and showed a large egg appearing in the middle of a large crossroads. That's the Rosary Junction.
The egg was probably about three meters high and pitch black. Clyde had a rough idea of what they should do next.
[ OBJECTIVE: IN THE EGGS THERE IS A 'BOSS'. DESTROY THE EGGS BEFORE HATCHING OR BEAT THE BOSS AFTER IT HATCHES TO COMPLETE THE PROLOG. ]
The commotion began. Everyone was confused and panicked.
Of course, they panicked because another monster would appear. And seeing the word 'BOSS' on it, it was clear that it was the monster that would be their biggest challenge.
"What should we do?!" Asqa asked in a frightened tone.
"Don't worry." Clyde smiled at her.
Asqa didn't know what exactly Clyde was going to do because he didn't say much.
But seeing what had happened so far, Asqa had faith in Clyde.
