Re: Player

The aura of that guy increased at an insane rate as he obserrved me with his huge wings opened up menacingly. The dark creepy aura oozing out of his body was now more like a mist than a light smoke.

[Air steps!]

[Haste!]

[Faster than before!]

[Quick!]

[Stamina Boost!]

[Agility Boost!]

-Whoosh!

And despite all these boosts, I saw him appear in front of me within a fraction of a second.

-Slash!

It wasn't that hard to dodge his attacks, though. Powerful, but the lack of any proper skill is pretty apparent.

-BOOM!!!

Though his air slashes now carried strong power along with a bit of his dark aura, shattering the area where they hit.

Some of the black mist around his sword, liquified and slowly melting onto his sword. It looked a little slimy from a distance, slowly covering the entire sword second by second.

-Slash!

I dodged again as I spoke," hey! Can you keep your long sticky thing away from me?"

-Boom!

-Slash!

-Slash!

-Slash!

The fight… or perhaps his attacks and my dodging continued as I wondered if he had lost his rationality or something here.

'What should I do now?' I thought. And as if an answer to my question, a notification popped up in front of me.

[New Quest: Save the Angel of Life (Lesser) (Rare)!]

[Grade: Rare!

Time Limit: 30 Minutes!

Rewards: +1 Level; +2 All Stats; Skill: [Simpler Vision!]

Penalty: Harik will become a Corrupted Angel and destroy everything in his path!

Remark: Destruction begins with saving the wrong person!]

'Well…' I looked at the quest for a few moments before I looked at this fallen angel again.

-Slash!

-Boom!!

'That remark makes me a little uncomfortable. But for now… let's save him and see where this story goes,' I thought as I activated a few more of my skills.

[Flash Steps!]

[Quicksilver!]

[Battle Strength!]

[Greater Strength Boost!]

Using my increased strength, I then moved to capture this angel but…

-Whoosh!

He jumped back again, creating some distance between us. And then, as if he knew I had gotten stronger than him, he screamed even louder, creating more and more of that mist before his entire body turned charred black.

-Spurt!!

Blood spurted out of his back as two more wings appeared below the previous pair, as the demonic angel glared at me with those deep red eyes.

"SCREECH!!!!!"

His face was now covered with mostly darkened blood vessels, with the mist in between, barely making it visible anymore.

"Charm points -1000," I said as I looked at him before my heart raced a little.

He was currently holding his head as if he was having a splitting headache, while he could barely stand on his own two feet.

'Barely angel,' I thought as I looked at him, resembling more to a demon than that to an angel.

-Whoosh!

And once again, this time far faster than the last time, he appeared in front of me, his sword slashing me into two pieces, before I fell on the ground with my body split in two.

The Angel, Harik, didn't stop though as he kept slashing over and over, destroying my already lifeless body, not stopping even for a second. It was as if he had lost all his sanity.

Time passed as seconds turned into minutes. And after a dozen of those minutes passed, the angel finally showed signs of slowing down, as there was nothing more to be destroyed. He looked around for a few minutes before a figure appeared at a distance away from him.

A blue-skinned girl with a black crown on her head. There was deep darkness in her eyes, as she seductively walked towards that angel. Wearing minimal clothes, she looked at that angel who was glaring at her.

-Whoosh!

He jumped at that girl at an insane speed. But before he could even attack, a barrier stopped him from reaching her. He tried attacking that girl relentlessly, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't move past the barrier.

"Seems like the sacrifice this time was stronger than expected. Well, good riddance," the woman spoke as she looked at the angel in front of her.

"[Sleep]!" she commanded in a heavy voice containing strange mana, before that angel slowly lost consciousness and fell on the ground.

She then looked around at the destruction that was present all around the area. Her eyes narrowed at the broken pillars and statues that were now turned to dust. And the gate, which was no longer there, showed a long hallway reaching to the main gate of the castle.

"To push my toy to this level. I wonder who exactly was this person… perhaps under a different fate, we could have met more… etiquettely.." she spoke as she then clicked her fingers and the entire area slowly started turning back to how it originally was.

It took a few seconds, but the entire place was back to how it was before the fight ensued.

She looked around for a few more moments before turning back to the angel, who was now barely what he was before. She pondered for a few seconds before speaking.

"You were a useful toy but alas, I don't think I have any use of you in this form now," she spoke as she raised her hand and pointed her finger at Harik. And then, channeling her energy into that finger, she fired immediately.

But that energy didn't hit Harik. Instead, it moved towards the throne at a rapid speed, destroying most of the upper half of the throne.

"You knew? I thought I hid pretty well," and from the dust came my voice as I sat on the throne, observing the whole charade in front of me.

"It's my realm. Who do you think you are fooling?" Spoke the Sin of Lust, Iris, the Former Mermaid Queen, as she narrowed her eyes at me.
