Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode



The light enveloped Clyde's entire body and covered his vision. He was blinded by the light so within seconds Clyde felt panic.

'Calm down. Think about everything with a cool head. You still have power over that Goddess,' Clyde said to himself too. After he did that now his mind became more at ease.

Clyde closed his eyes intending to reduce the blinding effect caused by this light. He had also drawn his two swords and gripped them tightly while channeling his Mana. Clyde was already preparing for a surprise attack that he knew was coming his way. 

A few moments later he saw through the lids of his eyes that the light was getting less and less. Clyde tried to open his eyes, he immediately saw a scene that was almost the same as the volcano earlier but he was clearly in a different place.

A man was holding a golden staff in front of him. He was tall and slender, his body tanned like the goddess Pele and his eyes glowed yellow like the sun.

Clyde frowned. The figure of the man in front of him was clearly one of the Celestials. Based on the characteristics of his body, he comes from the same place as the Goddess Pele.

Without saying anything the man shot towards Clyde with incredible speed. He left a trail of brilliant light behind him.

The man seemed to be able to move at speeds the normal eye couldn't follow and looked almost like he was teleporting. However, Clyde could still see him well enough to withstand the impact of the golden staff.

*CLANG!*

Clyde crossed his swords to block the staff. Light came out of the staff and blinded him again.

'This is annoying!'

So Clyde activated [Skill: Pure Lightning] and then moved to escape the man's attacks. As he had expected, the man had indeed intended to attack after closing Clyde's vision. He stretched his hand towards Clyde's neck but could only catch a bluish-white trail of lightning.

'He's fast!' God Kane gritted his teeth. He had seen how this being named Clyde defeated Goddess Pele and made her domain devastated like that so he had come to think that he should not underestimate Clyde.

Clyde appears a few meters later at the edge of a canyon filled with boiling lava. His jaw clenched. 'Alright. If this is what you want, I will serve you.'

Clyde activated [Skill: Burning Hand] so now fire and lightning were covering his body simultaneously. God Kane also felt the aura of Clyde's power explode against him.

So, the God of Light covered his body with bright gold light. Clyde also felt the power of the God hitting him.

'He feels stronger than Pele,' thought Clyde. 'But I think I can still survive. Well, if I manage to get one more Celestial to give his Oath to me that would be great.'

Clyde lunged at God Kane, the Celestial lunged at him with all his might.

*BOOM!*

A violent explosion was created when the two of them finally clashed. Two forces that are almost as strong that trying to destroy each other.

The lava was bubbling and churning as if something inside was alive and trying to struggle its way out, feeling the impact of the fight above. 

*CLANG!*

*CLANG!*

*CLANG!*

*CLANG!*

*CLANG!*

...

The clashes between the God's golden staff with Elderglass Sword and Inferno Blade continued and each time they clashed a destructive Mana shockwave was sent out into the area around them, knocking over rocks and dirt within the volcano.

With his lightning power, Clyde can move slightly faster than God Kane. He ducked to avoid the swing of his golden staff then thrust the Lightning-shrouded Elderglass Sword from below.

*SRRATT!*

Clyde's stab could directly stab God Kane's throat if he wasn't quick enough to dodge. But now the sword only grazed the tip of his chin because he managed to back his head in time.

God Kane gathered light in his left hand and then sent a punch covered in light toward Clyde. Clyde managed to hold with the Inferno Blade but it still managed to push him back a few meters.

God Kane stared at Clyde with piercing eyes that flashed with golden light like molten lava, reflecting the raw power he wielded over the elements. With a sweeping gesture, he summoned torrents of scalding lava from within the abyss and sent them hurtling toward Clyde with relentless force.

On the other hand, Clyde doesn't want to be outdone by his fire power. He channeled Mana and made the flames covering the Inferno Blade even bigger. Then he made a slashing motion toward the hurtling lava and split it before it hit him.

God Kane didn't look surprised by Clyde's display of power because he had expected it. So he again sent waves of lava after summoning it from the abyss towards Clyde.

He kept doing it without giving Clyde a chance to rest or move elsewhere to escape. Clyde realized that too. He gritted his teeth in frustration.

God Kane gave him no other choice but to use an even higher speed than the one he released before. Of course, until now Clyde had not used all of his power.

He no longer slashed at the lava sent by God Kane instead he made a forward thrusting motion. All the lava that God Kane sent toward Clyde turned to hurtle toward him.

'As expected, he still hasn't used all of his power. I find it hard to believe that there is another being that can match a Celestial's power besides another Celestial. Until now, when I see him myself.'

God Kane easily split the lava, allowing it to divide into the rocks around him. However, he immediately widened his eyes when he saw that Clyde was no longer in his position.

When he looked up, God Kane saw that Clyde was already in a downward arc after jumping. He made a stab motion in the air toward him with the Inferno Blade.

A torrent of spiraling flames surged forth toward God Kane, propelled with great speed and power. The searing inferno carved a blazing path through the air in the short distance.

God Kane raised his golden staff in time but the force from those torrents of spiraling fire proved to be quite large. He was pushed down and almost fell on his back if he wasn't flowing more of his Mana.

Clyde suddenly landed next to him. God Kane's eyes widened with surprise.

*CRAATTT!*

Clyde thrust the Inferno Blade into the side of the Celestial's body. Blood was pouring out of his mouth.

"GRAAAHHH!!!"

God Kane shouted, mustering his strength to shake off the torrent of fire in front of him then swung his golden staff towards Clyde.

Of course, Clyde managed to dodge in time so that the staff's impact only shattered the ground he was standing on and a few meters ahead of it. The damage from the staff impact also traveled up the cave wall and knocked over several rocks.

Clyde stood not far from where he was and looked at God Kane to see if he was weak enough to offer to give him an Oath.

However, what Clyde expected was still far from reality. God Kane stood up using his staff, blood was pouring from his wound and mouth. After that, his body was enveloped by a brilliant golden light. And after the light disappeared, his body returned to good condition.

Clyde sighed. This will be a long fight if his enemy has the ability to heal himself.

"How did you get such power?" God Kane finally spoke up.

Clyde snorted. "How do you still dare to ask after ambushed me?"

"You asked for this."

"Because what I did to Pele? I did it out of self-defense," Clyde said. "It turns out, I'm stronger than her. That's good, right? Now she can feel what it's like to not always be on top and just enjoy other people's suffering."

God Kane snorted then let out a disdainful grin. "You want to take revenge on us for making your life miserable. It's useless. You should realize that lower beings like you can't hurt Celestials like us.

"Let me tell you some advice. If you kneel here and beg I will consider sparing you and accepting you as my servant."

Clyde can't help but laughs. He then said. "You're really shameless. You've seen what I can do to your fellow Celestials. She begs for her life to give me her Oath.

"It is more appropriate that I will give you advice instead. Give your Oath to me and I will spare you."

When Clyde said that, the God of light's anger burned even more. His eyes were burning even brighter and his hair was blazing like fire. His body as well as his golden staff enlarged to five meters high in a single second.

"You should know, filthy being," God Kane said in a voice that had also become deeper. "I am stronger than Pele."
