A Shocked Goddess

The Goddess yanked Clyde toward her with uncompromising strength. Clyde gritted his teeth, not having time to do anything to resist the pull.

Goddess Pele opened her mouth; Clyde could see a reddish glow starting to rise in her throat.

Knowing that it's gonna be bad if he doesn't do something about it, Clyde clenched his fists and gathered his mana there. In the split second before Goddess Pele spewed fire from her mouth, Clyde punched her in her left face with all his strength.

*BUAGHH!*

The blow knocked Goddes Pele's face to the side; flames shot sideways instead towards Clyde and destroyed the ground it passed.

Clyde's unexpected punch made the Goddess widen her eyes in surprise. She released her grip on the Inferno Blade and staggered backward.

The Goddess wasn't staggered because she was in pain. She was only shocked about Clyde's strength, which actually had such an impact on her - a Celestial.
