Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

Chapter 156 Arrived Back



Samuel jumped from inside the portal and fell to the ground. He immediately focused his mind on looking at his back to see if there was a wound there or not.

Because Samuel remembered that the Lesser Cerberus' claws were really close to him. The possibility that he was a little too late to enter the portal and let those claws scratch him was quite high in his mind.

"You're okay, Sam," Leyan said as if realizing that Samuel was worried.

Samuel looked up at him. After a while, he felt that there wasn't any pain he was feeling so he immediately stood up.

"Phew..." Samuel let out a long breath. "That was very close."

He glanced at all the party members around him. They were all also giving him worried looks that slowly began to disappear.

Except for Clyde, who just stared at him flatly as if Samuel's condition was not his concern.

Some passers-by looked at them curiously. They are fortress residents who have lived here for a long time and are curious about The All Territory.

But they weren't strong enough yet, or never be strong enough to go there. So they could only see the expedition parties going in and out of that place.

From what they could see, the expedition parties always returned with strained faces or injured members. From that, they could conclude that The All Territory was indeed too dangerous a place.

"I'll take Haru to be treated first," Kei said, wrapping Haru's arms around her neck.

After she saw Samuel as the last person returning safely, then Kei could relievedly take care of another important matter, that is Haru.

They were the first to leave there. Followed by Leyan and Kiara while Samuel was still staying for a while with Clyde.

"Now you know I'm more than capable of going to The All Territory," said Clyde.

Actually, Samuel still didn't understand how Clyde could find Haru and come back faster than them. But the results he produces are real.

"Hh..." Samuel let out a sigh. "I think you are capable. I don't know how you can be so strong in such a short amount of time but I am quite impressed."

Clyde nodded as if satisfied. "Next time, I'd like you to take me with you if you decide to go to The All Territory again. And I'd also like to know what problem you're talking about that makes you in such a rush."

"About that," Samuel shook his head. "I don't know if I can explain it to you."

Clyde remembered that there were other senior members than Samuel's party. And they hold bigger authority in this fortress.

"You don't have the power to say that?" Clyde asked, conveying his conjecture.

Samuel just nodded with a resigned face. "It can't be helped. If I do that I and my party could get punished."

"What punishment is that?"

Samuel gave a bitter smile.

"I don't know either," he said with helplessness. "No one is brave enough to go against the Senior Council so no one even knows about their punishment."

Clyde snorted. "Then why are you guys so scared? You never even know what punishment will befall you."

"I knew you would say that." Samuel still showed the same bitter smile. "You'll know why the Senior Council are so scary once they all get back."

Samuel walked past Clyde after saying that. Clyde looked at him with a frown.

"It seems this fortress is ruled by a dictatorship." Clyde sighed. "This doesn't look good. If I want to go maybe that means I have to use violence."

Clyde also walked away from the portals. He noticed that many eyes were looking at him with question marks from seeing him back at Samuel's party.

But once again Clyde just ignored them and continued walking with long strides to his living quarter.

From that short trip in one of the domains in The All Territory, he managed to attain something major. It could even be said to be the biggest discovery he got after arriving at this place.

He can use his Character Information in The All Territory. Even he can spend his Points and clearly feel the new power that is created in his body.

'Can I summon it again?'

Clyde tries to summon his Character Information again in this place. However, the results were as he expected. He can only see the corrupted window and only displays his Name.

Clyde nodded because he had confirmed that.

'So, it's not that I can no longer use my system power. But I can only use it in The All Territory. If that's the case, there's something wrong in this place.'

Clyde cast his gaze around where many creatures of various races were gathered and huddled like neighbors.

'Actually, who created this place and what was the purpose of creating a Resistance group to fight the Celestials?'

Clyde kept walking while thinking about that. He didn't realize that from a tall building, a red-haired woman was watching him with mysterious eyes.

She put her hands behind her back. On the red-haired woman's lips was a faint smile that was as mysterious as her eyes.

'So, he is the new youngster.'

The woman watched Clyde who was walking away with interested eyes as if she was observing a new animal that she wanted to catch and care for.

Suddenly, while she was busy observing Clyde, Clyde turned his head towards her.

The woman immediately backed away from the window because she didn't want to be seen by him.

'Did he see me?'

The woman bit her lip. He shouldn't even be able to notice her, but Clyde whipped his head at her as if he could pinpoint where she was.

The woman took a deep breath. 'I should be more careful when I was near him or observing him.'

She wanted to go back to peeking out the window but pulled her legs back again for fear that Clyde would still be there.

Opting for the safer route, the woman gave up and this time stepped away from the window for real.
