Chapter 141 Turn The Tides

[ -2 Strength ]

[ -2 Stamina ]

[ -2 Agility ]

Luis knew he was in trouble as he saw his stats drop again, the speed at which his stats were dropping was quite alarming and he knew that if he didn't think of anything soon he would become a punching bag.

He tried to reach for the back of his neck and remove the thing that was attached to it but before he could touch it an earth ball struck him on his hand and the impact from the hit sent him back a little.

[ Agility: 11 ]

Six stat points had been removed from his stats and he still had six more of them to deal with but that wasn't the only problem.

Luis was back on his feet immediately after getting knocked down and now looking at the remaining problems he had to deal with he could see that their hair colors had changed to red. The only ones that didn't have any artificial color on their hair were the twins with the buff and debuff abilities.

'If the debuff ability turned my hair blue, then that must be the buff ability that's making their hair red.' Luis thought.

Considering what the debuff ability was doing to him he knew fighting this guys head-on was suicidal.

'Very suicidal, my advice is to retreat.' His voice assistant spoke.

The Angel would have loved some more EXPs but he knew this was the right thing to do as his stats had fallen greatly.

He had tried getting rid of whatever was on his neck but when he tried to grab it he felt nothing, he could still feel it on his neck but there was nothing there to pull out.

"Sorry guys but I have to go." He said as he turned to make the run for it but immediately he stepped a foot forward, a large earth wall rose from the ground to block his way.

Luis didn't flinch or get worried because he had confident in his earth ability but when he punched the wall and tried to create an opening to escape, the only thing he made was a little dent on the wall.

'The debuff affects my ability too.' He thought looking at both of his hands.

'I think so and maybe it also affects their own abilities.'

"Why do you want to leave when the party is not yet over?" Carl said with a wry smile on his face.

Immediately after saying that three large earth pieces came flying toward the Angel, his Stamina and Agility were very low, meaning that his speed had been greatly reduced.

He avoided the first piece of earth by rolling out of the way, right after that, the other two merged and were about to crush him but immediately the large piece of earth-covered him, he formed an earth shield in his hand, it wasn't as large as the one he usually made but it was enough to block the piece of earth and give him the space to roll out of the way.

He had escaped getting crushed by that piece of earth but that wasn't the end as small pieces of earth shot him from behind like bullets.

The earth bullets kept pushing him until he fell on top of the water ability user he had knocked out earlier.

[ 45/100 HP ]

If he was still a Demi-Angel he would have been in serious trouble, the large amount of HP he got after becoming an Angel was proving to be a lifesaver here.

'Yeah, like I have a chance of completing that quest, what a nice way to mock me system.'

Luis was frustrated as he lay on the body of the student, he didn't want to get up because he knew that anything he was going to try wasn't going to work, that was what he thought until something happened.

[ 50% of humans life force consumed ]

[ +5 stat points added to Agility ]

"Go turn him around, Dave," Carl ordered one of the twins.

Luis had been lying still for quite a while which had made the students think that he had gotten knocked out but Carl wanted to make sure the job was done.

Dave walked to Luis to do what Carl told him but immediately he touched the Angel, he smacked him on the head with the piece of hardened earth in his hand.

Carl and the remaining four were shocked as they watched Dave slump to the ground.

[ Foreign material removed ]

[ Debuff canceled]

[ All stats has been restored ]

'I didn't exactly plan things like this but this is better.' Luis thought as he got up from the student's body with a wry smile on his face.

"What's with the smile?" Carl asked. "You may have knocked him out and canceled the debuff effect but there's still four of us all with power-ups."

"I'll just have to knock him out then to make things even," Luis said as he turned to the only person whose hair color wasn't red.

"Steve get behind us!" Carl ordered but it was already too late as Steve slumped to the floor immediately after he said that and their hairs went back to their normal colors.

"What did you do to him?" Carl turned to Luis who was still standing in the same spot.

What Luis had used to knock Steve out was the same skill Carl had used on him, the earth bullets that had taken away a great amount of his HP, he figured out after that attack that he could make anything with earth, he had formed his own earth bullet but he made it too tiny for them to see and had aimed for Steve's head.

"You mean this," Luis said.

Another tiny earth bullet shot out from the ground and this time his target was the water user, he expected him to fall immediately just like Steve but instead, he was pushed back while touching his forehead.

"It's an ability, he's using some sort of ability." The boy said as he finally fell on his knees with his head down, he didn't get knocked out but that was a painful attack.

"You've been holding back all this while," Carl said. "Let's see how much you can handle this."

Carl gave the signal as the remaining two with him began to hurl pieces of earth at the Angel but he didn't look bothered as he smashed every piece of earth with his hands before running towards the three, they thought he was going to attack them and raised an earth wall to protect themselves but they were surprised when he ran past them and stopped in front of the first person he had knocked out.

"What's he doing?" Carl asked as he watched the Angel place his hands on the student's chest.

[ 50% of human's life force consumed ]

[ +5 stat points added to Strength ]

'I know you may be excited to discover a new way of increasing your stats but don't you think taking fifty percent of someone's life force can have some consequences on the person?' His voice assistant said.

'They are trying to kill me!' Luis screamed in his head.

'Behind you.' His voice assistant informed him, putting the argument aside.

Luis quickly turned to see the pieces of earth about to hit him, it wasn't one or two, there were many of them but he smashed every single one of them with his feet and fists.

"How is that even possible?" The two earth users said in unison.

They wanted to try again but before one of them could lift earth from the ground he received a kick on his head, the other one tried to defend himself with an earth wall but Luis' foot smashed right through it and without slowing down landed on his head.

"You're not the only one that has been holding back." He heard Carl's voice behind him as a huge shadow began to cover him.

Suddenly Carl felt someone grab him on his throat forcing him to let go of the large earth ball he was forming, he couldn't believe it. Luis was just over there a few seconds ago, he didn't even see him move and now he was holding him on his throat.

'He's just a first-year student with a level three, higher.' Carl thought, looking at Luis' watch. 'How can he be so strong and fast?'

"Who are you?" Carl asked, trying to prevent his voice from shaking.

"I'm the one supposed to be asking the questions here." The Angel said.
