Chapter 182 Take Things Seriously
Luis watched his roommates sleep peacefully as he lay on his bed, sleeping had become less of a necessity for him since becoming an Angel and he only slept by mere will now because whether he slept or not as long as his energy was filled up, he wouldn't feel tired in any way.

Luis stared at the screen but his gaze was only fixed on one point and that was his exp bar.
'How am I even supposed to level up again?' He thought.
'You know, you don't necessarily need to level up to get stronger.' Lena said.
'I know but leveling up means that I get to unlock more features, it means that I'm making progress towards my next evolution and it also means I get stronger in a better way.'
'Yeah but I don't think you'll be leveling up soon if you remain in this environment.' Lena said.
'Are you indirectly telling me to leave?'
'No, why would I tell you to do that, I'm just saying you have to improve yourself in other ways and keep getting exps in the little ways you do.'
Luis stared at his ability bar to see that there was a red number one showing on top of his water ability tab.
'What's that?' He thought as he clicked the tab.
[ Congratulations you have unlocked a new water skill ]
[ Temperature manipulation ]
'Temperature manipulation.'
Luis found the name to be quite strange for a water skill but his system didn't drop any description on the skill and it didn't look like Lena knew anything about it.
[ Water ability: Level 4 ]
[ Water ability points: 20/50 ]
[ Water points: 80/80 ]
[ Water skills ]
[ Water control ]
[ Temperature manipulation ]
Unlocking another skill in his water ability meant that he had a total of five skills in his abilities now.
Water control and temperature manipulation for his water ability, earth control for his earth ability, and then fireball and fire control for his fire ability.
'You should get your earth ability to level four and see what new skill you will unlock there.' Lena said.
'Yeah.' Luis said as he wondered who would help him with that and that's when his gaze turned towards Dylan.
'He doesn't use his abilities that much though.'
Luis turned away from him and continued staring at the ceiling until a wonderful thought had come to his mind.
The VR headset slowly appeared on his body and a smile appeared on his face.
"This may only give a few exp after killing a lot of demons but it's still something and I wonder how many exp I will get for defeating one of those demon bosses," Luis said as he grabbed the headset from his body and did the needful.
It didn't take long for him to find himself in the white space.
[ Welcome Demon Slayer ]
The option for weapons immediately came up as Michael kept scrolling through until he had found his favorite flaming sword.
He was about to click the weapon when he noticed a tab by the side, a tab which he hadn't noticed for a while.
The tab was in the shape of an encircled thick arrowhead with the word replay written beside it.
"Replay," Luis said as he clicked on the tab.
The footage of his last fight was quickly brought or rather the footage of Ace's fight.
He watched the whole video with great interest up till the point that Ace had fallen into the ground.
"Why would he choose a fan if he doesn't know how to use it and it's strange he didn't use his ability," Luis said as he clicked on the weapon of his choice.
The options for the number of demons were immediately brought up.
He thought of the two demons he had faced before as he wanted to defeat both of them before meeting any new demon boss.
The flying demon boss was the one he had met in the five hundred demon option while the one that had destroyed him with fire was in the two hundred demons option.
"I think it's best to start with baby steps," Luis said as he clicked the two hundred demons option.
The wave options were immediately brought up and instead of the four waves he had chosen last time, he decided to choose two waves.
The terrain options were brought up and he quickly chose his terrain.
The white space began to disappear as he quickly found himself on grassland with a few trees around the area.
Luis pulled out the flaming sword from the game as he got ready for the first wave of demons, it didn't take long for them to start appearing a little distance away from him but unlike the last ones he had faced, these ones appeared to be running.
"No jokes this time," Luis said as he charged in.
He closed up on the demons before they could start throwing their annoying fireballs and began taking them out with his sword which was still in its normal state.
The demons without their fireballs were very easy to take out as they didn't seem to know anything about physical combat.
Luis had taken out all of the demons in the first wave in a matter of minutes and was currently waiting for the second wave.
The second wave acted as if they had watched his fight with the first wave as they began throwing fireballs at him from a very far distance.
The Angel didn't try to avoid the fireballs from where he was standing as he ran forward knocking away the fireballs and avoiding those he couldn't knock away.
He kept running and activated the flames on his sword with which he had used to wipe out all the demons in the first row.
The fireballs had decreased greatly after that as the Angel got closer and wiped out the rest with his flaming sword.
"Now, we just have to wait for the big boss," Luis said after the last demon had turned to ash.
He waited for what seemed like five minutes before he began to hear the thumping footsteps as he looked ahead to see the demon approaching him from afar and he was glad it was exactly the same demon.
The demon hadn't even got close to him yet when it stretched its tongue towards him.
"You will be sorry for trying that," Luis said as he activated his flaming sword and this time instead of slashing the tip he decided to go for the entire tongue.
He slid down below the tongue until he got close to the demon's mouth, he slashed the whole tongue off and quickly followed up with a flaming slash on the demon's face.
The demon responded with a very loud roar as it staggered back and that's when its body began to take that twitching red glow.
"Not this time," Luis said.
The demon released the furnace blast at the Angel but just like he said it wasn't this time.
[ Flight activated ]
His wings sprouted out from his back as he quickly flew above the demon and summoned the other demonic.
"How about we take things seriously this time." He said as both blades in his hands were covered in thick long flames.
