Chapter 135: Unimpressed

I look down as I fly over the countryside and I'm glad that night has fallen. Even though my golden wings have a slight glow I should only look like a shooting star instead of an angel. I've been flying for about 40 minutes now and I'm getting really close to the blinking red marker on my map. I look out into the direction its in and I see a battle raging on. Its right against the walls of the border, these must have been added from the war.

I can see countless men and woman being slaughtered as the fighting continues. I should fight far enough away so they cant inspect me. I fly over the horde that is just arriving, I can handle the ones coming in while they handle the ones attacking their walls. As Cera makes his descent the commander at this important point in the border is fighting off as many as he can. His name is Kaden Lancer, and he is doing his best to fight off the invasion.

I slaughter as many as I can as fast as I can, but we are running low on men and women to fight. I have a split second to take a breather and I notice a golden light above the coming horde. I cut down an attacking monster and focus on it once again. I watch it dive and hit the ground hard causing shockwaves to rattle throughout the area. I listen to monsters shriek in pain as they are taken apart.

The monsters that are currently fighting us turn around and charge back to the thing that is fighting them. "What the hell is going on..." I hear one of the soldiers at my side ask that question. I watch a scout on my other side pull out a scope and look. 

I watch his face pale and see the absolute shock on his face. "Its him..." He speaks in a whispered tone. The soldier behind him smacks the back of his head so he speaks. "ITS THE SON OF ARCH-ANGEL MICHAEL!!!" Everyone starts hurling questions and climbing over one another to try and get a look. I take the scope fast from the scout and look myself. I see him cutting through them like they are nothing. 

I watch him use his wings and his sword to unleash death upon the monsters. "I have to get close enough..." Many of the quiet soldiers hear my words and look between each other. "This is an opportunity the find out who he really is!" I shout at the top of my lungs and the remaining soldiers become motivated themselves. I hop off the wall and land on the piles of corpses and organs. I stand up and run as fast as I can, but the closer I get the more he kills.

I'm still to far away and all the monsters are nearly dead, I see him clearly now amongst all the carnage. I try to use inspect, but it tells me I'm to far away from target. "JUST A LITTLE CLOSER!!!" I yell out hoping some how this helps. However, I watch him spread his majestic golden wings as they drip with blood and launch off the ground. I am overcome with frustration in myself, I watch him soar into the direction the monsters are coming from.

I stop running and put my hands on my knees to catch my breath. I was so fucking close to him. I've never seen something so spectacular in my life. I look off into the direction he went and I can no longer see him. Some of the scouts catch up with me and take deep breaths themselves. "Did you get a chance to inspect him?" I shake my head no in disappointment. They all just sigh as well, however I did get a decent look at his face.

That is sure to be useful, all a mage needs to do is look into my mind and magically draw what I saw. We could have posters all over the continent by next week. "Its not all bad men... I did get a good look at his face. That is sure to be useful in someway. Go back to camp and tell HQ what happened. I'm going to go and investigate the combat sight, knowing the church they wont let anyone near it until they inspect everything." The scouts leave without a word and I continue forward to the site. As this is happening Cera is heading to the area they are camped at, provided by the system after successfully clearing the emergency world event.

I fly fast to the camp to see what else I can fight. I leveled up a bunch with the bonus from the emergency event and the 2x boost. I can take some time to read the notifications now that I'm not fighting. I open my player stats and notifications and get tons of alerts.

I have a huge grin on my face, and I still have a chance to get even more levels. I wont be getting to 100, but this is awesome. I look down to where the marker is taking me and see a bunch of monster running around the camp. I also see a portal that is more then likely the monsters way of getting here. I dive down and land hard in the center of camp. I have learned I don't take any fall damage as long as I have my wings toggled on. So it makes for cool entrances.

The monsters in camp quickly surround me, but stop. They all part from the portal and I see a demon on the other side, looks to be a greater demon. "So you are the one..." I hear him speak through his deep twisted words. He walks through the portal and closes it behind him leaving the rest of his forces. He is either very powerful or very arrogant, its rare that its both with demons. He has a humanoid look, but the demon horns give him away. The stronger ones are confident enough in their powers to speak like this. I use inspect on him as he stares me down.

[Greater Demon Quelzer Lvl.110 tier 2 (Boss)]

20,000,000/20,000,000 HP

He is powerful, and I bet by swords dismemberment perk wont work since he is a tier above me. I feel him use inspect on my as well and he laughs at my puny health pool compared to his. "I was actually worried about fighting you, but if you are this weak then I have no problems killing you now." I can take out 20,000,000 health with all my skills activated pretty fast, so I might want to play into his ego and let him attack first. That way he just jumps into his death.

He leaps at me and I activate all my offensive skills and damage boosts. I dodge his first attack. I go for one too, but he decides to take it to try and rattle me. I land a devastating hit and watch him recoil in sever pain. "What the fuck..." He groans out as he grips the attacked area. I charge him using his confusion to my advantage. I strike him another 4 times in a row and he's looking rough. A few more and he is finished. I'm glad The Witness does 24,000 damage now instead of 8,000. Stack that with my powerful skills and you got crazy damage.

He retreats in fear of dying and reopens the portal and tries to jump through it. I burst forward with my wings and use my right wing to cut off both his legs before he can finish his jump. "HELP ME YOU WORTHLESS MAGGOTS!!!" I grab the greater demon that's near death and drag him away from the portal. I throw him to the ground and look hard at the surrounding monsters. I swing my sword across his neck and slice it open. He chokes on his own screams and blood, I never stopped looking away from the monsters.

They all recoil, and some even start running for the open portal. I stop all ideas of escape and begin to tear them all apart. Soon all the monsters are dead and I got 3 new notifications, I spread my wings and lift off. They are probably about levels and skill upgrades, but I want to get back to Hailey and get a little sleep myself. I open the notification about my level gains, I want to see that at least.

That's a lot of progress and help towards completing the divine mana aura quest. I even have 570 skill points to upgrade some stats. Those are thoughts for later, time to get back to Hailey. I do wonder what the other 2 notifications are though.
