BXBX NOVEL Chapter 89 Cloudy Fight
The appearance of the BOSS was so dreadful. Moreover, it\'s descending coupled with the heavy rain that started to fall.
It\'s a pity that not many people were aware of the phenomenon of the descent of a hideous monster with a body covered in tentacles. Because now almost no one is alive to witness it.
Leon\'s group is one of the surviving human groups until this time. They consider themselves lucky that they can survive.
Because they know most of their success in passing every day is due to Clyde and his group clearing out the BOSS so the Chapter can be over.
Just like this time. They could only stare through the windows of the house they were temporarily occupying as a shelter.
They stared at the monsters descending from within the black vortex that had suddenly appeared in the sky.
Judging from what had happened to them before the BOSS appeared, then they could only think that this BOSS\'s strength was far greater than the zombie BOSS in the previous chapter.
They of course didn\'t know that someone manipulated the settings of the previous Chapter so that the monsters became stronger than they should be.
Now they also don\'t know that the setting has returned to the beginning and the monster is not as strong as they thought.
But who are they? Apart from ordinary people who suddenly get trapped in this apocalypse without knowing anything and without any benefits.
So, they could only watch all the events unfold before their eyes and thank Clyde\'s group for finishing everything.
Leeching? In a messed up world like this, if that was the best way of survival, then they would do it without the slightest bit of guilt.
"Whoa, I didn\'t think things would get this bad," Wiley said as he looked straight at the floating BOSS.
Wiley flinched slightly when the yellow eyes moved because it felt as if they could find him at any moment.
"Yeah, yesterday we only fought zombies. Now we\'re fighting something that seems to have come out of a nightmare that we never expected," Leon said.
Seeing the two of them by the window, the rest of the group approached the window and stared at the event.
Lola swallowed her saliva and stood behind Albert. She wanted to see the event but also felt scared.
"Do you think that group will clean it up this time too?" Rosie asked.
"I\'m sure they will. Just like what happened before," said Leon. "Because if they fail, who else can we expect?"
Leon of course did not expect an answer. They knew that the group consisted of the strongest Players in this apocalypse. If they couldn\'t beat that BOSS, then this world would be doomed.
So they can only hope and pray in their hearts that they will succeed. Although they are not sure whether prayer and hope are enough to help them.

Back to the fight between Clyde\'s group and The Devourer.
Tentacles kept coming out of the monster\'s body and darting toward them. As if it had eyes to see its prey, the tentacles moved after the six moving targets separately.
Even though there is only one giant eye on the monster\'s body, those eyes alone were enough to move the tentacles simultaneously at incredible speed toward them.
They slashed their blades at the tentacles that were attacking simultaneously.
However, no matter how many tentacles they slashed, new tentacles would suddenly appear near them and replace the task of the previous tentacles.
Then the cut tentacles will return to The Devourer\'s body. Then come back in one piece to attack.
"How long is this all going to work?!" Sonya shouted in frustration at random.
Although random, she knew that the Regressors heard her. Sonya didn\'t care who would answer her.
"I don\'t t know!" Exclaimed Reed who was closest to her. "We never know when that weakness will be exposed. So just wait and cut all these tentacles!"
Sonya gritted her teeth in annoyance. Continuing to fight without knowing when this will all end made her feel uneasy.
She had indeed heard that they could only rely on luck as there was no certain pattern of when the monster would open its mouth and reveal its weakness.
But when she saw how these tentacles worked, Sonya couldn\'t help but think that something bad could happen unexpectedly when they let their guard down. And that carelessness could cost them their life!
Sonya turned to where Clyde had been. He was still there and didn\'t seem to have moved from where he had been standing since earlier.
\'Is he really not going to help?\'
Sonya cursed in her heart. Clyde, with his strength, will surely be able to overcome that monster easily. But he chose not to do anything and decided to watch them suffer like this.
\'Is this fair?\'
Clyde did say that he wanted to give the BOSS\'s experience to them. But if the BOSS was this strong, Sonya wasn\'t sure if they could handle it and take its Exp.
"Sonya, watch out!"
While Sonya was staring at Clyde thinking about this predicament, she heard Asqa\'s voice screaming at the top of her lungs from a distance.
Upon hearing that, Sonya didn\'t bother to look at what was heading her way. She just immediately jumped to dodge as far as she could.
*BOOM!*
It turned out that two large tentacles were darting toward her. The tentacles shattered the roof of the building where he had been standing.
Sonya turned to the direction Asqa\'s voice had come from. But she was no longer there. Because Asqa has disappeared again to hide.
Sonya gritted her teeth. \'I have to focus first right now. Otherwise, I will really die by that monster!\'
Thinking about when the monster would open its mouth proved useless. Because it\'s not something she can control. All she can do now is survive until the time comes.
Several other tentacles came at her again with incredible speed. Sonya jumped nimbly and dodged everything.
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
The tentacles destroy buildings with ease. The power was so great as if the buildings had just been hit by a huge wrecking ball.
Sonya chose not to attack the tentacles and just dodged. Her arrow attack wouldn\'t be able to cut the tentacles.
She can destroy the tentacles by adding her Magic Power to her arrows.
However, it wasn\'t a good decision since even the monster\'s weak point had yet to appear. She couldn\'t waste Magic Power just destroying the tentacles.
After all, with all the stats maxed out, Sonya had no trouble dodging.
Lightning and strong wind accompanied their fight. Clyde who was looking from afar saw the scene of the battle as a painting by an artist with a dark imagination level.
A monster that appears to be made up of nothing but a mass of tentacles with yellow eyes on the crest of its body hovers above the dark city sky. Amidst the pouring rain, the lightning flashing and the wind blowing hard.
Then, there was a group of humans who looked like small specks in the middle of the darkness trying to subdue the beast.
Maybe anyone who came up with the idea to create something like this was indeed an artist with a twisted brain.
How did they come up with the idea to trap humans in a game of survival with monsters like that?
Clyde wasn\'t sure if the Celestials had created this, or if there were other powerful beings who held the power to make a reality in the human world the way they wanted it to be.
Clyde didn\'t know what to feel. Should he feel angry because they made human life like a toy? Because at first, he didn\'t really care about the people around him.
He didn\'t care whether they were happy, miserable, or even dead.
And he had the immense advantage of going through this apocalypse on the easiest difficulty level so he didn\'t feel suffering enough to really hate the Celestials.
Clyde only thinks of himself as living life in novels and games. Killing monsters, getting amazing super powers, getting cool weapons.
Something he originally read to escape reality, but now he really is in it.
This kind of life seems better than his life in the real world which is alone, bullied, and monotonous.
So, should he feel grateful instead of hating the Celestials?
*BOOM!*
The sound of an explosion broke Clyde\'s thoughts. He immediately looked up and found that those yellow eyes were being enveloped in yellow lightning.
He also saw how one of the buildings that looked like it had just been hit by lightning was dropping debris. The building looks like it\'s about to collapse.
\'Did anyone get hit by that lightning?\' thought Clyde.
The monster wouldn\'t snatch up an empty building. It must be targeting someone who was originally in that building.
Clyde jumped up on the building next door so he could get a better look.
