Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

While Clyde was spending time with a Demon Duchess named Gremory, his other party members were having a hard time dealing with the gray monster.

To be more precise, it is Reed and Rodney who are in trouble right now.

Now the two of them are fighting the monster in an abandoned warehouse.

They are fighting in a fairly closed place. And that is a bad thing for them.

What\'s worse is, this warehouse has been turned into a kind of private lair of the monster.

Reed and Rodney can\'t get out of here. The roller door now can\'t be opened anymore because it\'s covered with sharp gray thorns.

Making Reed and Rodney have no other choice but to defeat the monster to get out of there.

But the monsters weren\'t as weak as they had previously thought.

"Why did everything turn out like this?!" Reed gritted his teeth. His face showed a very clear panic.

"I don\'t know! Looks like someone messed with the setting again," Rodney could only give that answer.

"How are we going to beat him?" Reed asked, gripping his katana handle tightly.

Rodney did not immediately answer. He glanced at the gray monster that was now also staring at them from the other side of the warehouse.

\'Should I use the orb?\'

Rodney had been faced with this kind of difficult situation many times.

This afternoon he too had almost used the orb but Clyde had taken care of everything.

But, will someone save him now?

Using that orb now was indeed very risky to reveal everything he was hiding. Yet, Rodney no longer wants to return and Regress.

He would not have made this much progress if he had regressed alone. So, Rodney\'s choice clearly fell on the choice to use the orb.

Even though in the end he had to sacrifice someone so that the orb could be used to its fullest power.

"Rodney! Do you have a way to beat him?" Reed kept asking because he saw that the monsters were now advancing toward them.

"Let\'s just fight him for now," answered Rodney.

Reed didn\'t see the look on his face who was looking at him with scheming eyes. Reed\'s eyes were focused on the gray monster.

"I guess there\'s nothing else for us to do but fight, huh? We\'re Level 30 plus after all."

Reed tried to convince himself. Then he immediately charged towards the monster because he was pushed by his fear that almost exploded in his chest.

Reed, who did not want to continue to feel fear, chose to fight it.

Starting from the third Regression turn he has started to change how he will react to his fear subconsciously.

Instead of cowering under the pressure of fear and freezing like an idiot, Reed charged toward the source of his fear.

And finally, he knew that what he was afraid of was not as bad as he thought.

Except when he tried to charge toward that Outer God.

"HYAAAHH!!!"

Reed let out a scream as he ran over to the monster.

He slashed his katana sword with all his might. Unexpectedly, his attack was able to hurt the monster.

*SRAATTT!*

A gaping wound was created on the gray monster\'s arm which it tried to raise when it saw Reed approaching.

\'What the hell? It\'s pretty slow.\'

Reed was a little confused because the monster\'s movements were quite slow. He thought the monster would dodge and then launch a counterattack.

Reed certainly didn\'t just charge blindly because he was driven by fear.

He had also prepared a plan for what his opponent would do and how he would respond.

Of course, at first, he only attacks blindly. But several Regression turns taught Reed a lesson.

However, now Reed\'s plan had to change because the monster was so easily hit by his attacks.

Knowing that the monster\'s movement was slow, Reed immediately swung his sword again.

*SRAATTT!*

Just like before, Reed\'s attack inflicted wounds easily on the monster\'s body.

The monster is now trying to fight back. It swung its large, gray hand at Reed.

However, Reed could see the attack coming. So he dodged by rolling to the side and slashing the monster\'s arm from below.

*SRATT!*

Once again he managed to injure the monster.

Reed grinned. \'It\'s not as bad as I thought.\'

Rodney who was still behind and observing the battle from earlier also noticed that the monster was moving very slowly.

Perhaps, the monster had used its powers to trap them in this warehouse. So now his strength is reduced drastically.

\'Looks like I don\'t need to use it.\'

Rodney immediately canceled his intention to use the orb. He dashed by holding his katana sword. Following Reed who was facing the monster.

Reed saw Rodney approaching out of the corner of his eye. He smirked because it didn\'t look like this fight would last much longer.

The monster noticed Rodney\'s arrival. It started walking towards Rodney as if forgetting Reed\'s existence.

\'Apparently, its intelligence has also decreased.\'

Reed who saw the monster\'s careless movement used the opportunity to swing his sword again.

*SRRAAATTT!*

This time Reed managed to sink his sword into the monster\'s knee. Since it was moving its leg forward, Reed swung his sword in time to meet its knee.

"GRAAAHHH!!!"

The monster let out a deafening scream of pain.

The narrow walls of the warehouse reflected its screams inside causing Reed and Rodney to feel a pain in their ears.

Of course, Reed\'s attack stopped the monster\'s movement.

Reed immediately pulled his sword and rolled away because the monster was already swinging its big arm toward him.

Meanwhile, Rodney who was approaching quickly was now right in front of him. Rodney jumped and then slashed his sword at the monster\'s neck.

*CRAATTT!*

The sword sank into the monster\'s neck. But not strong enough to cut it off.

Rodney landed and rolled away.

"Let\'s use our skills together!" Rodney said.

"Okay!" replied Reed.

The monster fell to its knees. Makes them both easier to target its neck.
