Chapter 221: Wrath of the Gods |
"Phase... One? What's this..?" Just as I said that, the dark place suddenly lit up again. I looked back and the destroyed body and light were suddenly all flowing back to the body of the dead Archangel.
I was panicking, I don't want to fight this crap again. "Come, Demon Sword Acabar!" I rushed to the Archangel but I felt that something was stopping me. I slammed through an invisible wall in front of me. "God damn it, I don't need this right now!"
"Savage Slash!" A five combination technique that's extremely powerful that uses speed and strength in perfect harmony. I let the blade do the work to the point that I didn't know what I was doing.
I could feel my blade going through the wall. So I knew it was destroyed. But once I tried to rush in again, I was stopped yet again. I touched the invisible wall if I did at least some damage but it was flawless. There was no cracks or uneven thing. Its like I didn't do anything.

"Swords of Impalement!" An army of flames were summoned behind me. Mindless, painless and powerful creatures under my command in a phalanx formation and they were all using spears. They all rushed in as I commanded. Once they hit the wall, the one in front will be teleported to the back and then it continues on and on as an infinite cycle, keeping the momentum and power behind it.
But once they bashes through the wall, the flames gets dispersed from their bodies and they die. But the infinite regeneration they have is slowly draining my mana, but it seems that they barely do anything too for this. So I don't know what to do.
Do I just watch as this thing transforms and ascends to a new level? I didn't know what to do. So I just stepped back and dispelled the swords of impalement and watched the Archangel reform its own body.
"I nearly forgot... This is just a game for them is it... Leveling, system, monsters, party, guilds, dungeons, challenges and this part... Uncontrollable plots of the game. Haha... this is what they call free will?"
"I will destroy everything they have and they will ever have. And I won't just stop there."
The Archangel's transformation ended and a system message popped up in front of me.
[Archangel's Wrath - Level ???]
[A being, closest to god. With its radiance, holiness, beauty, body, power, intellect and unyielding loyalty to their creator, they're the being closest to the perfection of a being.]
The Archangel raised both of her hands in front of her as if trying to reach for something. A bright light emerged and she grabbed it. Summoning two swords this time. It looked like it was heavy and immovable. But she held it with ease.
"You done?" I held the sword with both of my hands and began to flew to the Archangel.
But then I saw a small blur on its hands. I stopped to check on what it was. But suddenly, I was sent flying.
"ARGH!"
It was a giant wave of light that headed my way that came out from its sword.
Three more came out and I managed to dodge it.
That wave was thin and nearly impossible to see in front. But when you're at the side of it, its incredibly large. Its at least millimeters in thickness but its incredibly huge.
"Mana Search!" Looking at it with my bare eyes is just going to hurt my brain so I just began to look at the highly concentrated mana formations that were happening.
I began to run while dodging the barrage of attacks of the Archangel.
But it seems to have another thing in mind. "Storm Holy Rage!" Lightning imbued with light came running down throughout the entire area.
It was lightspeed and powerful. My eyes could barely follow the intense speed of what was happening. My instincts may be great but they're not great enough.
"Lightning Body!" Lightning emerged from my body and as if it was a perfect fit for me, flames wrapped around the lightning, merging with it.
I moved a single step and I didn't notice that I was in front of the Archangel.
Its instincts and reaction time were so fast that when I got there, the blade of the Archangel was about to fall on me.
I took a step back and I was back a hundred meters away from the Archangel.
[Gained skill, Demon's Volatile Rage, gains the abilities of the lightning body imbued with the Demon King Form.]
I forgot about this, ability of the Demon Sword Acabar #78, Elemental Absorption.
[#78 Elemental Absorption, gains perfect control over an element once you absorb enough samples. The element will be merged with the Demon King Form and gain Elemental attributes and skills that will be applied to the Demon King Form.]
So this means that the more I absorb the more I can get skills... I'll have Yurid do something for me.
"And what is that that you want me to do?" I heard someone from the back of my head.
"Yurid?" I faintly remember her voice.
"Yeah its me." Yurid appeared in front of me first as a silhouette of light and slowly forming in to her normal form.
"How are you here!? The Tower of Babel only allows players inside."
"I hid in your soul."
"I think the gods already know about that and should've taken countermeasures."
"I don't know if I've told you this before but I'm just a tool. Just like the clothes your wearing underneath that form. I'm not a non player or a player. I'm just a tool. A weapon. Just like any object."
"That makes sense." I didn't want to pry in too much. "But wait, did you really just choose to come out now?"
"Well a weaker someone under me isn't really fun to follow now is it?"
"You really had to choose this dire moment to test my strength?"
"Yeah pretty much. And this is a good place to study abo-"
The two of us noticed the light waves coming our way and dodged it.
"Just follow my lead!" I ordered.
"Yeah, yeah!" She replied.
"Million Shot!" A charged up long range attack, I started off with that.
It hit an invisible barrier which it managed to break through easily but it obviously lost some momentum in the process, dropping down once it broke through.
A flicker of the Archangel's barrier appeared three times then disapleared which i'm guessing-
"Its barrier is down! Go all out!" Yurid then shouted.
"Parade of the Demon King!" A giant arena of flames covered the two of us... Wait, three? "Yurid! Get out! Only me and an enemy can be here! This spell affects others too!"
"Didn't I tell you!? I'm a weapon, YOUR weapon! I'll support you from the back!"
"...Got it!" I rushed in, "Hellfire's Chakram!" A circular flames that was following my body, burning anything that was near it.
Parade of the Demon King burns of 1% of health of an enemy for as long as they're in this cage. And that 1% of life will be sapped and stolen to go to me. But their defenses against fire will take factor in this too. So right now the damage I'm dealing to it is... 0.05%. "Yurid! How many minutes do I have to endure if it loses 0.05% of health per second!?"
"What's with that random question?"
"Just... do it!"
"Argh, fine... 33.3 minutes! Around 2000 seconds!"
"Alright I have to survive that long then!"
"Judgment Day." The Archangel set up a giant beam of light between the two of us. I was confused at first but it began to get bigger and bigger. I had to run.
I stepped back and instantly got near Yurid. I grabbed her by the collar and dragged her away.
"Trichiliocosm, Perfect Barrier!" Yurid then set up a barrier in front of us. "Go behind it!"
"WHAT!?" The light was far too large and was overtaking everything. Its even keeping up with my speed!
"JUST DO IT!" I stopped in my tracks and walked behind the small barrier that Yurid made and braced for the impact of the light.
It hit Yurid's barrier but her barrier was completely immovable. Not a single shake or crack appeared.
The light disappeared and I could only see where the Archangel through the light she was emitting. It seems that we've run very far. That was just a fraction of the Archangel's power and I would've been in serious trouble or dead without Yurid's help. For a dungeon... This first floor is incredibly difficult and unfair. "What now..."
