Chapter 220: The Taste of the Tower |
The place was dark and empty. So this... this is what the inside of a tower looks like?
I was transported here forcefully as soon as I touched the door of the tower. I didn't know what to expect so I called on, "Demon Sword Acabar!" The small flame lit up a small part of the room and as soon as I grabbed it, it transformed into my weapon.
I began to walk in front of me seeing how there's no progress from the last ten minutes. As I walk deeper and deeper I saw a small light. "Demon King Form." I flew to where the light was and it became bigger and bigger until it turned into...a gate?
A silhouette was there. It was giant, it was smaller than the gate but it was still large.

[Archangel's Wings]
A fallen Archangel marks the chaos that will usurp on the world.
Items that I've never seen before, an enemy that I haven't seen before... What the hell is going on with this tower.
The so called Archangel began to lit up in a bright light.
"Holy crap. Alright." I couldn't believe what I'm seeing right now.
Its radiance illuminated the entire place. The halo and the circle behind it has a volatile lightning running through it. As soon as she showed me her wings, it was just magnificent.
Six wings, three on each side and it was shining incredibly bright. But then... something weird happened.
Its a sensation that I haven't felt in a long time.
Pain.
Its difficult to describe after not feeling it for so long. But it just felt... weird and uncomfortable.
I took a look at myself and saw that my skin were burning away just from feeling the Archangel's radiance and brightness. It wasn't too painful but... its like a prickly feeling on myself.
[Pain Receptors turned on.]
And the system just alerted me. This is going to be tough. I forgot what's the feeling of being in pain but I know this is going to be difficult.
The Archangel's book dispersed into a million pieces of light. It raised its hand and reached for the pieces. It then began to reform into... a giant sword?
Its light managed to pierce through my defenses and the tingling pain suddenly got worse. It then suddenly threw its sword at me which caught me off guard. But I managed to blink away from it using Dance of the Demons.
A giant wave of yellow barrier then slowly came running to me. I slightly touched it but my whole body was lit on fire. Good thing I'm in Demon Form or else I would've been down feeling the pain.
I could feel my body burning but I'm still being damaged by it. Is it because the element used is light? And this forcefield fire?
Either way I need to end this fast and return. I have the gist of the towers now. I have enough information.
The Archangel waved its sword three times and then stopped. Three waves of light waves that came from her sword suddenly were being sent everywhere.
I blocked one that was headed my way. The other two waves was it trying to predict where I'd move huh. Interesting. I need to get closer without being blown away or set on fire with that shockwave. "Demon's Bind!"
Chains came out of my hands and tried to find their way.
"Holy Purification." The Archangel then said.
"It spoke!?" That skill that she just used obliterated my skill, cancelling it out.
I need to distract it somehow and get close to it. Otherwise I'll just be playing in its games. "Million Shot!" I held my weapon in a spear like stance and threw it with all my might. It was obviously faster than me so I just flew straight to the Archangel.
It blocked the million shot but I could see a small wound opened up in its hands. It seems that it had trouble blocking it.
I dispelled the Demon Sword Acabar and released it again to teleport it in my hand. As I swung it, the Archangel's insane reflexes blocked my attack.
A giant shockwave of wind was sent out in several directions. I then used Dance of the Demons to teleport around its body.
I tried attacking its legs first to falter it, but it blocked with its giant sword. Next was the joints in its body, all joints that I know of but as soon as I teleported, I just get block and get counterattacked with a light beam that does a small damage. But still damaging.
This won't work, if speed doesn't work, then absolute power will. "Demon's Rage!" I stomped the ground and cracks appeared which then sent up flames up, higher than the Archangel. But the Archangel was just immovable. It was there taking the flames. Well I didn't really activate it for the damage, but for distraction. "Gauntlets of Instability!"
Dark pure energy of fire manifested into my hands and I could feel the power surging in me. "Hell's Retribution!" The Demon Sword Acabar changed into a pure form of energy and I coated it with the gauntlets.
I punched the Archangel but it blocked it again with its sword. But this time it took a step back. This is the first movement that it did in this fight. "Not so one sided now is it!?"
I then punched everywhere, as long as my fists could reach this Archangel, I'm going to go all out. The monsters here are no joke and are incredibly powerful. So I don't have time to gauge how powerful they are.
The Archangel finally took an action. It waved its hand but I didn't understand what that meant. I continued rushing on but then I felt something in my stomach. It was slowly digging in my body. I looked down and saw a spear of light piercing through my body.
"Crap. Crap. Crap." This is the first time in years that I've felt pain and its way more intense than I've thought. I know I'm going to be fine but this pain... this'll break me. I still have a lot of health and the damage this monster dealt to me is only five percent. But at this rate I'll just be stunned with the pain unable to do anything. I have to remove this...
"Pulse of Anger!" It usually burns armor easily but since its flames... it can burn the mana of a spell. It immediately burnt off the light that was in me and I was forced to just bear with the pain.
I punched the Archangel again but this time I can see cracks on the sword. This made me incredibly happy that I'm doing at least some damage. I knew they were tough but I didn't think they were that tough.
It can take full blows from me with ease. But I just need to persevere. I flew up to the sky and then dived straight down. "Fallen's Wrath!" I managed to land a huge attack on the Archangel's body, seeing how there's a giant wound in front of it. But I wasn't done yet. "Demon's Uprising!" A single concentrated of beam filled with fire shot up to the Archangel.
It stumbled and fell and it couldn't move its body.
The Archangel tried to fight back by swinging its sword everywhere creating a shockwave that's enough power to push me back. But I persevered and punched its sword one last time, completely breaking it.
I equipped the Demon Sword Acabar once again, "Soul Burner!" Flames wrapped around my body disappeared and was redirected into my sword.
As I plunged the sword deep in its head, flames were rampaging throughout everywhere like a volatile electricity out of control.
The Archangel did not make any noise or move around but I can see the light coming out of its body.
After a while, the light disappeared and I dispelled everything that was on me. The fight was over. For a monster from a tower that was the same as Tartarus, it wasn't that difficult. I thought it'd be since the level requirement is 10,000.
