BXBX NOVEL Chapter 183 Trying Again (01)
You could say the demon boss looked very surprised as it looked up at the Angel who was floating over it with the help of his wings.
The skill flight which was connected to his wings was a very useful asset for Angels and he had been putting off using it for quite a while now because he didn't find it that necessary.
But today it had become necessary because he needed to beat this demon boss at all costs.
Flying up may have helped him avoid the furnace from the demon's mouth but it wasn't over yet as the demon looked toward him and released another stream of fire.
That wasn't a problem for Luis as he flew to the side to avoid it and then threw flames of his own in the form of his two flaming swords.
The two long flames were flung on target by the Angel and struck the demon on both shoulders as it released a loud groan.
With the sword in his left hand still stuck in the demon's shoulder, he pulled back the other one and aimed for the head this time.
The flames were enough to scorch the head of the demon and create a deep wound but it wasn't enough to take off its head.
The demon let out a loud roar as it began to scream fire at Luis in a careless manner, the Angel used this to the best of his advantage as the demon had gotten disoriented.
He flew down a little bit and deactivated the skill in his swords and then with full speed flew towards the demon, it looked like he was just going to run into the demon as he had returned his swords to his inventory but he had a deadly.
Just as he zoomed past the demon his swords appeared in his hands with their bright flames and that was when the demon stopped moving.
Both flame lines showed on the demon's body as it divided into two parts and fell to the ground.
[ Congratulations on defeating a demon boss ]
[ +10 points received ]
[ Points can be used to improve your avatar or weapon in the game ]
That was the message from the game system which Luis didn't really care much about.
[ +200 exp received ]
[ 1250/4770 EXP ]
Just like when he kills a couple of the ordinary demons in the game, the system only gives him the exp without telling him what he actually did.
'At least that's something.' He thought as he turned to the spot where he had killed the demon to see that it had vanished.
'I wonder how many exps I will get for killing that other demon boss that seemed to be stronger than this one.'
'Are you sure you're ready to face that demon boss?' Lena asked.
That was a very good question to put Luis in thought as he recalled the scenes of the time he fought the demon with the help of Max.
Having a metal-like body that resisted the most critical attacks was a nice and scary feature for a demon to have.
'Yeah its body was tough as iron but there's no way every part of its body could be like that.'
'Yeah that kid's boomerang was able to easily cut its wings and then it grew back.' Lena said.
'I feel like you're trying to discourage me, Lena, it's just a game and if I lose I'll just try again.' Luis said to her as he got ready to return to the white space now.
[ Would you like to return to the main menu? ]
[ Yes/No ]
He clicked yes and immediately found himself in the white space with the battle-type options in front of him.
He scrolled through until he found the five hundred demons option, he clicked it and another screen came up, the screen with the option of the number of waves.
For the five hundred demons battle there were three-wave options, the two waves option, the five waves option, and the ten waves option.
He knew how many demons that were going to be involved in each wave due to his last battles and the ten waves option just seemed to be too little for him and was just going to prolong the battle unnecessarily.
After staring at the first two options he decided to choose the second one which was the five waves option.
'Can't handle two hundred and fifty demons at a time?' Lena said.
"I know I can handle it, I'm just more comfortable with fighting a hundred at a time," Luis said as he clicked his terrain option.
The white space began to slowly disappear as he found himself in the exact terrain where he had met Sony and Max and the first place where he had first battled the winged demon boss.
It was a rocky terrain that looked like it was a mountain but what it really was was a large piece of land elevated by a large dead tree.
'Of all the terrains, you had to choose this one.' Lena said.
"Hey you're not the one fighting the demons are you?" Luis said.
It didn't take long for the demons to start appearing around him instead of coming from one direction like they usually did.
"I forgot about that," Luis muttered to himself as he looked at all the demons who were all armed with spears, clubs, spiked clubs, and a few of them with swords. "This is going to be harder than I thought."
'No, it's going to be hard if you want it to be hard for you.' Lena said.
"What?" Luis asked.
'You know, I seriously don't understand why you'll hold back in a game where no one is watching you.' Lena said.
'I didn't hold back in my last fight.'
'But you're planning to hold back on this one.'
Luis let out a sigh as Lena was absolutely right, he was planning to hold back.
He was already surrounded by the demons which appeared to be quite smarter than the last ones he had faced as they weren't throwing fireballs carelessly.
'Ok, let's get this over with so I can face that demon.' Luis thought as he equipped both of his flaming swords and immediately activated their flames.
He didn't even give the demons space to attack as he became the aggressor, taking them out as fast as he could.
"That's the first wave." He said as he watched the last demon burn to ashes.
The second wave wasn't a problem as he repeated the same process with them, ending them as soon as they had appeared.
Luis was trying to save his fire points here by using the skill of the swords without adding his ability to increase the flames and having used them like that twice the flames began to get dim until they had vanished, he tried to activate the skill again but nothing happened.
[ Skill needs a cool down time of one hour before you can use it again ]
The game system notified him.
'You see, that's what happens when you decide to go all out.' Luis said in his mind.
'You only used the swords and you're saying you went all out.' Lena said with a chuckle which seemed quite human to Luis but he didn't put much thought to it as the third wave of demons was beginning to surround him.
'If I use everything on these demons then I'll have nothing to fight that dreadful demon with.' Luis thought as he returned his swords to his inventory and then equipped the double Katanas.
The swords didn't have range attacks until they had absorbed enough attacks but they were still good and sharp for cutting demons.
The Angel didn't quit the role of the aggressor even after his flaming swords had died out as he charged in at the demons starting from the ones in front of him.
The demons stood no chance as he was way faster than them and those that did manage to try and hit him got their attacks blocked by his blades.
Luis smiled as he saw the gauge on both swords move up a little after using them to block the sword of a demon before eventually slashing it down.
He cleared all the demons in a matter of minutes but he was way slow compared to when he was using the flaming sword.
With the fourth wave arriving Luis had come up with a plan to take them all out quickly, he gave up being the aggressor as he allowed the demons to get really close to him.
The demons were trying their best to hit him as he kept blocking the attacks but blocking attacks from a hundred demons that were all surrounding him wasn't exactly easy as two demons equipped with large clubs smashed their clubs at him at the same time and sent him tumbling backward.
He wasn't even given time to get up as lots of fireballs followed after that, but that was what the Angel had been expecting all this while.
He rolled back to avoid the first fireball and then quickly sprang up with his Katana blades placed in front of him to block the attacks.
"Nice," Luis said with a smile as he watched the gauge in both blades fill up. "You guys are in for a surprise."
The first row of attacks shot out from the blades but they weren't in form of fireballs and rather had a grey color but Luis didn't mind as long as they were doing the job of wiping out the demons.
He kept directing the swords at the right target as the grey attacks kept shooting out as the gauge level kept reducing.
Just as the gauge got below half the attacks changed from grey to fireballs which still did the job of taking out the rest of the demons.
"Now we just have to wait for the last wave."
The last wave didn't find it pleasant from the Angel as he equipped his flaming sword without its active skill, he didn't use the sword that much as his water ability had done most of the slashing job and it had done it perfectly and cleanly.
Luis let out heavy breaths as he watched the last of the demon bodies disintegrate, he thought he was going to get some minutes before the demon boss appeared but he was totally wrong as a large shadow was slowly cast over him.
"It's time to try again." The Angel said as he turned to look up at the brutal demon boss.
