The Archangel of Death - Chapter 139
139: Dungeon deformity (3) 139: Dungeon deformity (3) Chapter 139 Boom!
A body hit the cavern wall with a speed that anyone would think the person would be dead now.
Only, the bearer of the body stood up and dusted his clothes as he nonchalantly said with a hand on his back, “My back.” “STOP BEING DRAMATIC AND HELP IF YOU’RE FINE!!!” Asmara yelled as she delivered a sword strike to the ant queen soldier.
Her strike was not that effective but it was still doing something.
The truth was, if not for the buff provided by Adrian, none of the students present would have been able to stay alive against the ant.
Even now, almost all of them were out of commission except for Asmara, Sasha, and Adrian.
Adrian was the main tanker of the battle with a variety of potions to further increase his agility, strength, and defense.
He was refraining from using stamina potions because his body had gotten too used to them now and their effectiveness had dropped by more than ninety percent.
Still, he was doing very well against a monster of such a high rank, and since he was partied up with Sasha and Asmara, he didn’t care if he was the one to kill the ant or not because all three of them would gain the experience anyway.
Adrian moved to the front once again and captured the ant’s attention.
Once he had its attention, he began to move while also delivering attacks of magic canons.
[HP 655110000] Because of the exoskeleton of the ant, the defensive capabilities of the ant were a great deal higher than other ants.
Adrian made sure to point at only one spot and it was working, the ant’s exoskeleton was cracking slowly but he was still a great deal away from delivering any real damage.
So far, after an hour-long battle, all they had managed to do was deal surface wounds.
But that wasn’t a demerit in the least.
Leaving Adrian aside, the rest of the two were still at C+ rank.
They were fighting against an entire higher rank monster and none of them had died yet.
That was a great achievement in itself.
However, that was mostly thanks to Killian taking everything by himself.
He wasn’t doing good though.
His stamina was about to hit rock bottom and his expenditure on HP and MP potions had been massive.
‘But, it’s time.’ Adrian thought inwardly as he glanced upwards.
The giant canon bomb that he had used in the previous test was worth five thousand MP and was ready to blow the ant to smithereens.
The only problem was that the ant was also constantly on the move and the magic bomb’s drop wasn’t instant.
Due to its size, it was also difficult for Adrian to manually control it other than launching in one set direction.
“BE READY!!!” Adrian yelled as he began to put his plan into motion.
Asmara nodded and began to hack at the point where Adrian had shot repeatedly to weaken the exoskeleton of the ant.
Soon enough, the shell broke and her sword embedded itself very deeply in the ant.
The ant shrieked and began to move frantically, trying to shake Asmara off.
Adrian didn’t miss this opportunity and while the ant was distracted, used an MP potion and shot magic canons at the joints of the ant, weakening them as much as he could.
Now was Sasha’s turn who shot water cannons to push the ant in position.
Because of its injured legs, it couldn’t move that fast and it was still losing health due to Asmara’s repeated stabbing in that single would she had made thanks to Adrian.
Soon enough, through the collective efforts of the trio, the ant was in place.
“MOVE!!!
NOW!!!” Adrian shouted at the top of his lungs as he himself ran in the direction of the students.
Asmara did the same letting go of her sword that was too deep inside the ant.
Just as he arrived before the students, he consumed another potion and conjured the shield in front of him, covering all the students with it.
Sasha did the same and a wall of water came to form in front of them.
however, they had underestimated the explosion that was to follow.
BOOM!!!
A loud explosion that struck their eardrums overtook them.
The water shield collapsed right away but Adrian’s shield held on.
But not for long.
[Celestial guard has been enforced with MP] [MP has reached zero] The shield finally crumbled and Adrian was also flung backward only he slammed into someone along the way, dragging that person with him.
Audrain didn’t know who it was but he was sure that the damage would be significant if they bashed into the wall of the cavern.
He maneuvered at the last moment to come at the back and he collided with the wall.
Instantly, he lost consciousness while several notifications clouded his vision.
===== Not a good feeling, to collide into a wall.
As I slowly opened my eyes amidst immense pain, the first thing I saw was a sight every man wished to see whenever he woke up.
A pair of beauties worriedly calling my name.
Gotta say, not a bad feeling.
[You do know that almost every bone in your body is broken, right?] ‘And that’s an excuse to not appreciate this sight?’ I quipped while I consumed a potion and my MP fully recovered and as soon as it did, I used ‘Moon shift vitality’ and ‘High heal’ at the same time to recover my HP which was below ten percent.
View aside, the pain was indeed killing me, literally.
I sat up, still a little disoriented but I was worried about something else.
If I was so badly banged up, what about the rest of the students?
I only hoped we didn’t have any casualties.
“Status reports on the rest of the students,” I said.
Asmara and Sasha exchanged glances as Asmara replied, “No one is badly injured except for one.
She is very badly hurt and there is nothing we can do about it.” I stood up to check since I was feeling quite a bit well now.
We moved forward to see the students gathered around one spot, the girls sobbing while the boys didn’t say anything because they didn’t know what to say.
I parted the group and saw what the big deal was.
And I have to say, the deal wasn’t that big they were making it out to be.
Of course, that wouldn’t have been the case if I wasn’t here.
The girl was squashed underneath the debris from the cave roof.
They weren’t exactly boulders but they were big enough to splatter her lower half.
She was still alive but barely hanging on.
It was a good thing I regained consciousness when I did.
I knelt beside her and said with a smile, “Hi, Hello.
I’m Adrian.
A doctor.
And you are?” She seemed dead but still, with teary eyes, she replied, “I’m… Ange… Angela.” “Hello Angela.
I just want to tell you, that you are going to be fine and dandy in a few minutes.
I just need you to smile, okay?” I said as I turned to the students and said, “All the males, turn around and stand by the cavern wall, facing the wall.” “Wh…Why?
One of the students asked.
“Because her pants are also gone and she will be naked when she is healed.
NOW TURN AROUND AND FACE THE WALL.” Sometimes men don’t understand the language of love.
The rod of love is necessary sometimes.
“Asmara, Sasha, come here.” Asmara and Sasha heeded my order and came beside me.
“Sasha, I need you to cast a protective bubble around her waist so as to not let her intestines fall out.
Asmara, slowly lift the rock.” They both nodded and I turned to Angela who was still alive thanks to my heal but her HP was going down at an alarming rate.
[Are you sure about this?] [You collected it after such a long time] ‘Well, you should know, first and foremost I am a doctor even before my own benefit.’ [I see] [Good luck then] ‘Please hold death at bay for me.’ [Sure] ‘You do that and I will show you the miracle of life right before you.’ If she was proficient in death, I was in life.
There was just a teensy bit of a problem.
To gain something, I will lose something.
To grant life, I will lose it too.
Luckily, I won’t lose my own life.
But I will lose the strand of life in my abdomen.
The current life strand I possessed was 1.75.
I will be losing at least one of it, given the extent of the damage.
The four-strand death would hungrily devour that life and the clash inside my body, no matter how small, would be enough to kill the current me hence I was depending on Allison to hold the element of death at bay.
Then I began the procedure as light began to emit from my hands and covered Angela fully.
The glow began to increase to the point it got blinding and I was sure, it was spreading throughout the dungeon.
