BXBX NOVEL Chapter 99 Tower To The East
The last remaining robot has already fallen on the ground. The rattling sound of metal frames breaking one by one could also be heard from the surroundings.
Clyde took a deep breath and looked around. Now they\'re done killing all the robots around here. Including the big robots with those canons and miniguns.
"Let\'s go, I\'ve got the location of the Main Control Tower," Clyde said to them. Then, without waiting for them to answer, Clyde immediately walked to go east.
Reed turned his head with a confused face to the group members around him.
"Where did he go? Does he know something?" Reed asked.
"He said we should go to the Main Control Tower," Rodney replied.
"But there\'s nothing in that tower, right? These robots spawned and just directly attack us and the one controlling them is whoever is running this apocalypse," Reed said.
Rodney shrugged his shoulders. "I don\'t know, man. As usual, Clyde must know something we don\'t."
Rodney then walked after Clyde in thought. \'I also want to know what he knows.\'
If possible - or if what Clyde knew was something really important - then Rodney thought he would snatch it from Clyde\'s grasp.
After all, the Selection Stage will end soon. So he had to secure his chance as best he could. He had to get rid of as much of Clyde\'s advantage as possible so he could get the upper hand on him.
Then, in the end, Rodney could kill him before the Selection Stage ended.
Meanwhile, Sonya and Asqa also walk with them. But the two of them seemed to keep their distance from the Regressors.
They chose to be more vigilant because of Clyde\'s words. After all, the two of them had also heard about how the four Regressors were talking about Clyde behind their backs.
After walking for several minutes without interruption, finally, the robot troops came together. This time with more numbers than before.
Clyde, who couldn\'t wait to get to the location of the Main Control Tower, lunged at him with all his might. Faster than the others.
The other members of his group immediately joined the fight. Because they have no choice.
Asqa immediately reused her [Skill: Attack Up] on Clyde and the others. With her Skill, the fight against the Regressors becomes faster and easier.
For the next thirty minutes, they would get an increase of 50% of their total attack power. It was enough to break through the wave of robots even though the number of robots was much more than before.
Clyde continues to be in front to lead them. He killed the robots faster than the others.
The fire from Clyde\'s hand melted the robots and weakened their defenses drastically. Then the blade of the Elderglass Sword which was also enveloped in flames and extremely hot sliced the metal frame like a malleable object.
Unfortunately, the robot troops came as if without stopping. As soon as one wave has been overcome, another wave falls soon after. Making their troubles increase and never end.
\'This is taking too long.\'
Clyde was getting impatient. He had already lost count of how many robots he had destroyed. But no matter how much he destroyed them, the robots just kept coming.
Their number in one troop is also doubled. When new troops appear, their number will increase. Clyde realized that clearly.
After breaking through the wave of robots for quite a long time, Clyde could already see the top of the Main Control Tower. A black tower in the eastern sky of the city.
But the road to get there seems so far away. Because their path was filled with metal skeletons that kept coming.
Now variations of the robots have also been added.
There was something that looked like a tank but with what appeared to be a metal human skeletal torso on top. And that top holds two canons in each hand.
The size of the tank robot is the same as the large robot that walks on four legs. Thus, its presence adds quite a problem for them.
But amidst all that, Clyde\'s eyes saw the tank-looking robot as something he could use. With his [Skill: Hacking], he could use the robot to attack others.
So Clyde proceeds to do that. He split through the sea of robots trying to kill him and jumped onto the tank robot.
[ Hacking (Lv. 10) is activated! ]
A moment later the same text appeared when he had successfully been seen. Clyde immediately said his order with his mind.
The tank robot with a metal torso in the shape of a human skeleton immediately changed its target to the robots that were previously its friends.
*JYUUU!*
*JYUUU!*
...
The shots from the canons in its hands came out very quickly. Judging from the speed of the shot, this robot takes less time to load its canons.
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
...
Explosions were created in various directions. The skeletons of the smaller robots were blown up into the air and scattered in all directions.
The tank robot is as devastating as all the robots are as if they are nothing. It\'s so easy to destroy them, indicating that tank robots are superior to other robot models.
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
...
The robot continues to slaughter the smaller robots with the power and speed of its canon fire. Clyde smirked as he was quite satisfied with the robot\'s performance.
Clyde saw that the rest of the group was helped by the robot\'s shots.
Then Clyde added another order to the robot.
\'Kill the robots to the east!\'
Without pause, the robot immediately turned its body to the east. Then start the cannon fire.
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
...
The shot opened the way quickly. The rest of the group followed Clyde who climbed onto the robot with an expression on his face.
"Damnit! Where did he get a skill like that?!" Eric said with spacing words.
Rodney also felt that the Skill was quite amazing. Ever since the moment when he saw Clyde using the Skill to manipulate the large robot before, he had already realized that he had suddenly acquired a new Skill.
\'Where did he get a skill like that? I don\'t remember that a Skill like that was being sold by the Skill Purchasing Machine.\'
Then Rodney turned to Sonya and Asqa. Then ask. "Do you know where Clyde got that skill?"
Sonya and Asqa shook their heads almost simultaneously. As if that was the answer they had prepared.
Rodney stared at them for a few moments. Then he turned his gaze forward again.
Even if the two of them knew something, they wouldn\'t say anything. Even though he kept asking, Rodney knew that he would only get an answer in the form of lies.
\'He can get that Skill from a Celestial. Or it could be from the Skill Purchasing Machine.
He knew what would happen today and got the right Skill. I\'m sure that he knows of other things besides the Selection Stage.\'
Rodney felt he had to be careful. He previously felt more relaxed because he had obtained the [Title] from killing The Devourer.
But realizing that Clyde still had something up his sleeve, Rodney thought that his relaxed attitude was wrong.
He had to continue to be careful of Clyde no matter what.
They keep advancing. With Clyde leading the way while riding the tank robot.
The other robots finally realized that the tank robot had turned into their enemy. So, they started an open fire on it.
Dozens of rifles fired lasers simultaneously at the tank robot. Other robots that walk on four legs are also starting to appear again. Increases the level of damage suffered by the tank robot.
Clyde realized that the robot could not survive for long. So, he jumped to find the next target.
~~~
In her room, Agatha who was now back alone was staring at the screen with wide eyes.
What\'s on the screen is so interesting. Clyde once proved that he is overqualified for this Selection Stage.
"Where did he get that Skill, huh?" Agatha muttered curiously.
But then she just shrugged her shoulders. "Well, I don\'t care."
Agatha now can no longer do anything to Clyde.
He even lured the servants of the two Celestials to approach him. And he was even close to signing a contract with Luccio.
Agatha suspected that Clyde might have gotten the Skill when he killed Wendigo to complete her Personal Request. Because at that moment he suddenly disappeared from her sight.
A smile appeared on Agatha\'s lips. "In a moment, I will give another Personal Request and get Tokens again."
The smile suddenly turned into a chuckle. "At this rate, I can surpass the number of Luccio Tokens in no time!"
~~~
Back to the Battle of the Players against the robot troops.
They were getting closer to the Main Control Tower after fighting for their way through the waves of mad robots.
But a new problem came. Suddenly, drones were hovering above them and circling them.
Those players knew that soon, they would be up against a flying enemy.
