He landed into the rocky part near the Kingdom and the fall produced a loud bang and a crater was formed.
He thought it would be painful when he received the blow from the war hammer and when he fell into the rocky part near the kingdom. The damage he got was not negligible but it was not strong enough based on his damage scale. The attack and his fall from a high altitude are strong enough to make a Level 3 Energy Condensation cultivator like him, but his body endured the damage due to his protective skill.
"Finished? Vendorf! You defeated him in one hit? How can we torture him now?" An adventurer shouted towards the adventurer who attacked Clyde with a war hammer.
"The attack I did was just enough for him to be unconscious for a couple of seconds but I forgot that the angle of my attack will send him flying and fell into that rocky area. He might die from it but it is his all fault, right?" Vendorf explained.
All of the other adventurers sighed. There's nothing they can do in this situation.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" A burst of laughter rang out into the direction where Clyde landed. Clyde slowly walked out of the crater and then said, "Is that all you got?"
The adventurers gaped so as Vendorf. All of them knew that if they fall from that high altitude they might suffer from injuries but as they saw Clyde, he was in a healthy state.
"How did it happen?" Vendorf's eyes bulged out. "Even I will acquire injuries if I fall that high. How can he survive that fall and even came out undamaged?" Vendorf found it unbelievable. He is now a Level 6 Energy Condensation stage but a mere level 2 Cultivator has actually stronger body than him? Unacceptable!
Clyde cleaned his clothes from specks of dust. |It is actually weaker than I expected.|
"TAKE HIM!" An adventurer within the group said.
Fireball, Water Blasts, Ice spikes, Wind blades, Meteor rain, and many different skill was casted to Clyde.
Clyde was actually startled by this. Can he survive this? But given his strong body, facing these attacks will only cause him great injuries but cannot inflict mortal wounds into him. Due to his Steel Like body, he can endure these attacks.
A massive earth wall appeared behind him, preventing him from flying away when he collided with the barrage of skills. Skill after another landed on Clyde's body. His clothes were burnt due to fire type attacks enveloping his whole body.
If not because of the massive wall behind him, he can evade 75% of the incoming attacks.
The barrage of skills ended and the only thing they can saw is a man leaning to an earth wall with tattered clothes.
Activate| then his wounds healed slowly. He drank a potion and stored it in his body. When he drinks a potion or pills, he will be asked if what is he going to use, its effect or to convert it into EXP. Because of this glitch, he can delay his response resulting him to use it anytime. Even he can't move his body, he can still ask Alice to activate the pill or potion's effect. He can store pills and potion in his body limitlessly.
His wounds started to heal but the adventurers that attacked him thought that he was gravely injured. Then they started going nearer to check him.
Then Clyde slowly stood up and this shocked everyone who saw him.
"How is this possible?"
"He can still stand?"
"How can he be able to stand despite receiving our attacks?"
The adventurers were utterly shocked by what happened. If they were the one who receives such attacks, they might suffer from injuries resulting them to be unconscious or to be rendered immovable.
"UGGGGHH! It hurts a lot! What did I do to offend you, people?" Clyde said while massaging his shoulder and cracking his neck.
"You still asked? You framed up Fairy Emelssha!" said by one of the adventurers. Then all of them shouted in agreement.
"Stop! You said 'Framed up'? how?" |What the heck you people are talking about? I helped her and saved her life! How can that be called frame up? Are people sick?|
"Stop this nonsense weakling!" Said by another adventurer. "You lured a Red-furred Bear towards her and make them fight then when Fairy Emelssha is in dire strait, you cast her a fireball and that is why her clothes are burnt!" said by one of the adventurers who wielded a greatsword.
Hmmmm. I know now what cause these people on attacking me. That bitch! I saved her life twice and this is how she pays me?| then Clyde sighed.
Luckily I recorded everything.|
"Hey, dumbasses! See it for your self!" Then he threw a white stone and it landed in front of the adventurers who attacked him. Then a light came out from the stone and started to display a video to them.
"What is that?" They saw Emelssha fighting the bear and she was at a disadvantage. Then, saw her negotiating with Clyde and then Clyde agreed with a payment. Their body became tremendously cold. |How can this be?| they said in their minds.
Then Clyde used quickstep to carry Emelssha away from the bear then he engaged a fight with the bear. After a couple of minutes of fighting, the bear is slightly weakening, then Clyde jumped high with the use of quickstep and then raised his hands and a fire started to burn in his palms.
The fire grew bigger and bigger and this fire shocked the adventurers. "How can he cast a fireball that big?" they found it really impossible. He is the weakest longtime cultivator, right? How did it happen that he is stronger than me? They found it unacceptable.
Then they saw Clyde released the fireball and it landed into the bear. The collision of the fireball and the bear produced an explosion. Emelssha is caught by the explosion and resulting in her clothes to be burned.
The adventurers gaped as they stared at the video that Clyde presented. They then stared at Clyde with veneration.
"Ahhhhh. So that's what happened Clyde."
"Hmmmmm. Fairy Emelssha framed us. Sorry, Clyde."
"How did you grow so powerful, Clyde? You are stronger than us. HAHAHAHA!"
"GOODBYE CLYDE!" Then they started to disperse.
Clyde gaped. |You nearly killed me and you will just go like nothing happens? You need to pay for this.|
Clyde produced a white stone from his pocket and said, "Hey wait! Look at this first!" then all the dispersing adventurers looked back at him while their foreheads filled with cold sweat.
Then they saw a video with them attacking Clyde. "If you want this not to reach to the higher-ups then you must pay for everything I used in this fight and for my time!"
"How much do you want?" Shout by one adventurer.
"All of you need to pay me 10 gold coins or 10 gold coins worth of items," Clyde said casually. This money is already big enough for cultivators like them.
"It's too much!"
"You're extorting us!"
"You swindler!"
"The casualty we caused you shouldn't be that big!"
"Do you think I could survive all of those attacks? NO! I merely relied on countless protective treasures I got and most of them are hard to find there are some that are not for sale in the market! I luckily acquired them when I go an adventure and you wasted it all! 10 gold coins each is still not enough but we came from the same country, we should be helping each other. So 10 gold coins is the least I can ask for each of you. I wish not to send this video to the Adventurer's guild but if you will not pay, then I will be forced to!" Clyde said. 10 gold coins compensation each of them is too large for a single potion he used that is only cost 50 silver coin.
MONEY! I will not be poor like before! Come pay me! HAHAHAHAHA!| He is burning with excitement deep inside but he is still showing them his solemn expression.
"Haaaays, you are right Clyde."
"UGGGHH! That fucking Emelssha! Our efforts are useless."
"Why are we following Emelssha in the first place?"
"She'll pay for this!"
Then they threw pouches one by one. Clyde sent his energy to check the contents inside the pouches and he smiled. There are more than a thousand of different pills, a total of 250 gold coins, and some other curios and useful equipment.
"WAIT!" Then Clyde threw a stone. It was the memory stone that recorded Emelssha's fight the Red-furred Bear and Clyde saving her ass.
"What is this?" Asked by the adventurer who caught it.
"The memory stone that recorded Emelssha's fight with the red-furred bear and me saving her. You need to clean my name in the kingdom. I can still send this another memory stone to the Adventurer's guild." Then Clyde played another memory stone on his hand.
"UGHHH! Yes, we will. It has also beneficial for us." Then they began to disperse.
Then Clyde grinned widely and then he said, "IM RICH! TIME FOR SHOPPING!" then he happily walked towards the kingdom.
******
Emelssha is currently taking her bath to refresh herself. Then, she suddenly heard some loud bang outside the kingdom. She exited the bath and then took her bathrobe and look at her window. She saw skills raining down in the same direction.
"It must be Clyde that these skills are targeting but it is just too many and high-level skills. Won't he die because of that?" her heart suddenly froze. Her conscience telling her how bad she is. Clyde saved her life and then she repaid him in this way.
Her legs lost their power and she fell down. Tears came out from her eyes. If Clyde died, then it's her fault. And when that really happens, it can be said that she killed Clyde. She killed the one who saved her twice.
She cried, she knew how weak Clyde is. She knew Clyde can't resist all of those attacks all by himself.
The loud booming sound out of the kingdom is already gone for a couple of minutes. She stood up and slowly walked outside of her residency. She then walked towards the kingdom's gate lifelessly. She is being devoured by her conscience and telling her that she killed Clyde.
Then not too far from her, she saw a crowd of people in the center fountain of the kingdom. The crowds of people are watching a recording from a memory stone. |What is that? Is that their fight with Clyde? Did they killed him?| then she rushed to the fountain.
Then she watched the recording and was shocked by its content. IT WAS HER FIGHT WITH THE RED-FURRED BEAR AND CLYDE SAVING HER! Her scheme is about to unfold. The people she lied to will know everything and the story she came up.
"Ehhhh? Emelssha did that? We hated Clyde because of her lie?"
"How can she do this? She framed us up to attack and give a beating to Clyde. Why would she go to such an extent?"
"Look at the recording! She was totally embarrassed! It must be her revenge to Clyde!"
"Poor Clyde. He is already weak but still gets bullied."
Then she felt her body gone cold, beads of sweat are congregating in her forehead. She turned back and walk away and then she heard someone said, "Isn't that Emelssha?" Then everyone stared at her and her whole body froze.
