Chapter 124 The Fallen One (3)

The fight raged on with the angel always having the upper hand. At some point he managed to get a hold of Ava for the second time, but she managed to teleport away, although barely.

Mana Potions were beginning to run low, Ava had to rely on her agility to dodge attacks and minimize the damage she took. Despite getting injured a few times, the Health Potions kept her alive. Ava had to be cautious to avoid being struck by lethal attacks and tried to minimize the damage she sustained.

[ Weak belf! ]

The Fallen angel continued to mock and insult Ava, even going so far as to coin a new term, 'belf', a combination of bug and elf.

The Fallen angel's insults and mockeries didn't phase Ava, but rather impressed her with his tenacity. At one point, the creature even started speaking in other languages, which Ava assumed were more insults.

'Can he just shut up?'

As she narrowly avoided another attack from the Angel, Ava teleported back to the platform and sprinted towards the open door.

[ Where are you going, weak one? ]

Suddenly, Ava's vision went black, and she was unable to see anything. However, she was fortunate to have the 'Sense' attribute, which she had gained upon reaching level 15, enchanted by a blessing. This allowed her to feel the angel's presence, even though she couldn't see him.

Swish...

The Fallen angel's double-edged sword was rapidly descending towards Ava, aiming to behead her. She only had a few seconds to avoid it and suddenly stopped her movements, freezing the place.

Whoosh...

The Demon Blade narrowly missed Ava's face, passing right before her face. If she had taken one more step forward, she would have her head separated from the body.

Dashing forward, Ava narrowly avoided the angel's grasp and teleported down the first staircase, making sure to avoid stepping on any of the stairs.

[ Running will not help you! ]

The creature chased after her and its feet touched the Magic Circles engraved on the stairs.

Whoosh...

A burst of purple flame shot up from below, enveloping the angel and causing him significant damage.

[ Aghhh! ]

Ignoring the angel's cries of pain, Ava casted 'Lightning Spear' and launched it at the burning creature.

Checking the Angel's status, she noticed that he still had around 28,000 HP remaining and smiled. According to Leo's instructions, Ava would need to lead the angel down the tower and into the traps in order to defeat him. The most crucial part of the plan would be to damage the angel's wings, so he couldn't fly over the traps.

Upon examining the state of the angel's wings, Ava realized that he would not be able to fly. However, what worried her was the fact that he had the 'Shadow Step' spell, which was at its maximum level and had almost no cooldown.

Couldn't the Angel just appear in her shadow every time she teleported?

Although Leo had assured Ava that the Angel's 'Shadow Step' spell won't be a problem, she couldn't shake off her nerves. She remained vigilant, just in case, but as they descended the tower, the angel had not used the spell even once.

As Ava looked around, she noticed that the shadows in the room were behaving strangely. They seemed to be both absent and present at the same time, as if they were half-living beings.

Ava couldn't understand why, but it seemed as if the shadows were now moving of their own accord, slightly shifting towards the south.

'The first cloud exploded in the south...'

Ava was slowly connecting the dots, but had to push the thoughts at the back of her mind, because the angel threw his Demon Blade, aiming to impale her.

[ Is the only thing you can do run!? ]

Swish...

The sword flew past Ava's face, narrowly missing her and slightly grazing her pointy ear. A small stream of blood flowed down her neck, but Ava ignored the injury and focused on the Angel.

She felt something seeping away her strength and teleported behind a staircase, to avoid being directly seen by the angel.

[ Aghhh! ]

Ava heard the angel's cries of pain echoing through the staircase, she couldn't help but smirk. Despite the significant damage he had sustained, the monster seemed to be blindly following her, disregarding his own well-being. Ava couldn't understand why the angel, who seemed to have a high level of intelligence, was acting so recklessly, but she didn't mind it.

[ 21,651/60,000 HP ]

As the Angel's health slowly decreased, Ava's confidence grew. However, she didn't let her guard down, becoming even more vigilant against the dying creature. She knew that the angel would become even more ferocious as he approached its death.

Boom...

The tower itself suffered from the angel's frenzied rampage, but Ava was always just out of his reach. No matter how much damage he took or how many stairs he climbed, Ava would teleport away at the last second, frustrating and enraging the angel further.

At some point, the Fallen angel began to spit out blue flames like a dragon. His mask fell off, revealing a handsome yet twisted face contorted with malice and anger.

Despite the angel's 'Infernal Resilience', the purple flames still inflicted significant damage. These traps dealt true damage, which bypassed both physical and magical defenses. If the angel had wanted to reduce the damage from the purple flames, he should have had Fire Resistance.

The angel even encountered some disappearing stairs, but managed to grab onto the edge and pull himself back onto the staircase.

While the creature was struggling Ava just continued to consume potions and teleport to safety, launching Lightning Spears whenever she had the chance to try and inflict as much damage as possible.

After a grueling half-hour, Ava and the angel reached the platform in the middle of the tower.

[ These bastards! Giving blessings to an enemy and then dying! ]

The Fallen angel cursed as he looked at the debris of statues scattered across the floor. His cold eyes locked onto Ava, who was slowly backing towards the other staircase.

For some reason, the angel was unable to use his 'Shadow Step' spell. If he had been able to, the fight would have ended much sooner. As he felt his black blood running down his face, the being frowned and licked it off with his tongue.

[ Bitter... ]

Growling in frustration, the angel charged towards Ava, summoning another Demon Blade in his hand.

Swish...

The weapon met no resistance, indicating that Ava had successfully dodged his attack. The monster had no intention to let his target go and tensed his wings, casting 'Wings of Darkness', momentarily blinding Ava.

Whoosh... 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

Unfortunately for the fallen angel, Ava was already out of his sight, a dozen feet away from him. She launched a Lightning Orb directly at his face.

As the projectile hit the angel's face, something within his head snapped. His eyes turned blood red, and all of his remaining reasoning left his body, unleashing a ferocious beast that only cared about killing Ava.

Growl...

An unintelligent growl escaped the angel's throat as he launched himself at Ava. She barely had any time to dodge and ran towards the staircase, teleporting through all of the traps as she went.

Without hesitation, the angel sprang after Ava, ignoring the purple flames burning his skin and the poisonous needles stuck in his forearm. His red eyes, full of malice, were fixed on Ava as he chased after her.

Ava took a deep breath and focused on the incoming creature. She knew that she couldn't let her guard down for even a second, as the angel was now a frenzied beast. She tensed her muscles awaiting for the incoming monster, preparing to cast another 'Lightning Step'.

As she gathered her energy, she noticed that the shadows in the room were becoming even more agitated. They seemed to be writhing and pulsing, as if they were alive. Ava couldn't understand what was causing this strange phenomenon, but she knew that it couldn't be good.

Just as she was about to launch her attack, the angel appeared behind her, his demon blade at the ready. Ava gasped and quickly teleported out of the way, narrowly avoiding being skewered.

Growl...

The angel sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. Even though its intelligence had degraded, its battle instincts were still present, allowing it to slash his sword at Ava with deadly precision.

As the angel approached, Ava summoned a bolt of lightning and launched it towards him, hoping to inflict as much damage as possible. She knew that the creature would reach her before her teleportation spell's cooldown was up, so she had to be ready to defend herself.

[ Aghhh! ]

The bolt struck the angel with full force, causing him to cry out in pain. His burnt wings, which had already been damaged from the traps, now looked even more battered and torn. Ava knew that the angel was weakened, but it was nowhere close to dying.

The monster had over 8,000 HP left!
