The Archangel of Death - Chapter 143

143: Shapeshifter (2) 143: Shapeshifter (2) Chapter 143 I didn’t manage to land a hit on the shapeshifter and it was pissing me off.

I mean sure, it was about sixty levels above me but I was still pissed.

[For an entirely different reason] ‘IT DIDN’T TURN INTO ASMARA!’ I was very angry as I delivered a jab and then an uppercut.

Bet he didn’t know how to deal with those moves as he was able to block the jab but the uppercut with my full power caught him off-guard and left him disoriented for a moment which was all I needed.

I used an MP potion and rained magic cannons on it.

It was still able to defend itself against some but the damage was properly delivered.

And my relentless assault wasn’t ending either.

Unfortunately, I’m not infinite and I soon began to feel the crash of the fatigue I had been holding back with great effort.

My hits began to lose their intensity and even the shapeshifter noticed that as it delivered a hit right in my abdomen which I unfortunately couldn’t stop.

[Celestial guard] If I couldn’t block it, I should make the most out of it.

I used the shield to cover my abdomen while at the same time, driving my dagger through its eye.

It didn’t expect a counterattack which was why I was able to deliver such a devastating attack.

[HP 16,11930,000] There was no message of a critical hit as the shield broke and I was flung back with massive pain in my stomach.

[HP 6511200] I lost almost four hundred health points from that attack.

I let the moment take me and used a health potion to recover my health.

[Celestial guard] I used the shield this time to reduce the impact I would receive from the collision with the wall behind me.

I also did a flip to lose the momentum greatly.

I managed to come to a halt and instantly turned my attention to the shapeshifter.

For the first time, there was an emotion on its face.

It had finally learned the emotion of anger.

“KKUUUAARRRGGGGHHH!!!” A mighty howl of anger left its mouth as it launched itself at me.

“Finally!” I exclaimed and prepared myself for the collision.

[Potion of the Giant’s will has been consumed] [Strength +50% for next ten minutes] [Cost 50,000 coins] [Potion of the Wolf’s hunger has been consumed] [Agility +50% for next ten minutes] [Cost 50,000 coins] [You will feel bloodlust while the potion is in effect] [Potion of Stone’s will has been consumed] [Defense +50% for next ten minutes] [Cost 50,000 coins] [Potion of Infinity has been used] [For the next hour, HP and MP will regenerate by 3% every time they are consumed] [Cost 100,000 coins] [Scared blessing] [All stats +40%] With this much reinforcement, I was sure I would be able to go toe to toe against the shapeshifter although only for ten minutes.

[Celestial guard] With a last piece of insurance, we finally collided.

Boom!

The air around us convulsed as we both came to a halt.

Our fists collided with each other and just remained there, our bodies stationary.

Outwardly, it seemed like our strengths were equal.

But the reality was different.

There was a clear winner in strength.

The shapeshifter staggered backward while I rubbed my broken arm as the damage slowly regenerated.

I used ‘High heal’ to fix the damage and once I was done, I stared at it.

It wasn’t moving at all but it wasn’t also evolving at the moment.

It was also injured but not as much as me, only my recovery speed was faster thanks to ‘High heal’.

I jumped at it while it was still in the middle of recovery and delivered a few hooks and it couldn’t dodge half of them, letting me land a few successful strikes due to its damaged arm.

I utilized this advantage fully and attacked as much as I could with as many lethal moves that I knew from different martial arts that didn’t exist in this world.

The shapeshifter was completely on the defensive and its expression wasn’t good in the least.

At least it couldn’t do anything about my attacks but get angry.

I knew my own buff wouldn’t last for long and I was under two strict time limits.

One was my buff and the second was the shapeshifter’s recovery.

[Magic cannon x100] I utilized the MP and HP recovery buff to its full potential.

Of the five hundred MP that I used, three percent of it was recovered on the spot.

Unfortunately, the potion didn’t give a recovery effect so my MP would only recover when I used it.

The same was the case with my HP.

[HP 12,44830,000] Finally, the inevitable came to pass.

While I had managed to reduce its HP a lot, it was still in a very better condition than me.

I was out of stamina and MP both.

I still had my HP at full but that would soon end as well.

As soon as the buffs from the potions ended, the visible decrease in my speed, strength, and defense became apparent to the shapeshifter who despite its anger, was waiting for the perfect opportunity.

[Celestial guard] One hit, huts one and I was thrown across the cave arena once again, all the way to the other side.

If there was one silver lining about this, my HP recovery buff was still in effect but three percent of almost 900 health points wasn’t much recovery, to be honest.

The pain was phenomenal and I was made aware of it by every pore of my body.

I used ‘High heal’ and regeneration at the same time because I had run out of HP potion and I didn’t have enough time to buy them from the shop.

Not unless I was bought some time.

And now was the perfect opportunity for my other companions to attack and attack they did.

A rain of water cannons, arrows, and lightning spells landed on the shapeshifter instantly.

The lethality of water and lightning was accentuated by one another, creating a lethal strike that was enough to deliver about 500 HP damage to the shapeshifter.

That wasn’t enough damage but that was the best the students could currently do right now.

But they did what I was hoping for.

[HP recovery potion x1000] [Cost 3000 gold coins] [3,000,000 gold coins consumed] [MP recovery potions x100] [Cost 10,000 gold coins] [1,000,000 coins consumed] I wasn’t getting enough out of this fight.

I vowed to clear a few B rank dungeons as soon as I got out of this place to increase my coin revenue.

Although I wasn’t wasting any and using them to the limit, I still needed one HP potion after every hit from the shapeshifter so the consumption rate was very high.

Finally, I was ready to face it again only it didn’t seem to be focused on me.

Uh-oh once again.

The shapeshifter’s agro was drawn by the students who had just delivered damage to it as it launched itself towards them.

I also did the same but the difference in distance was more in my case and not to mention my speed was lower.

I could only hope that Asmara could take just one hit from this thing.

However, I was unsure of the extent of damage would be if she managed to survive.

Even then it wouldn’t be anything less than critical damage.

[Sacred blessing] [Party member ‘Asmara Hayez’ has consumed the potion of ‘Stone’s will’] From this distance, this was the only support I could provide and since she was my party member, I didn’t need her to consume these potions orally for them to take effect.

Asmara must have felt the effects but instead of turning to me, she braced herself for the impact while I conjured a lot of magic cannons to attack the shapeshifter.

The speed of the shapeshifter was too fast for me to relay any order so I could only hope for the best and move in myself.

Time seemed to slow down as the shapeshifter’s fist collided with Asmara’s shield, breaking it to pieces and continuing its pace without much power lost, and struck Asmara in the abdomen.

Asmara was flung backward and crashed into the rest of the students, damaging them as well.

[Warning] [Warning] [Party member Asmara Hayez’s health is below five percent] ‘Consume HP potion from the inventory.’ I hurriedly ordered the system which it did and Asmara’s health began to recover once again.

She was lucky because if the shield hadn’t been there to lower some of the attack power, she would have died.

It wasn’t over yet so instead of her, I turned my focus on the shapeshifter who was preparing to assault the students once more but my magic cannons finally made it to it and exploded on it.

It conjured up a water curtain just in time and avoided most of the damage.

I didn’t lower my momentum and we bashed into it, both of us rolling on the rocky ground away from the other students.

[Watch out] Allison warned me and I used the ‘Celestial guard’ to provide an extra layer of guard when I was pushed away once again by a kick.

[HP 2211200] The damage was something from both his kick and rolling on the ground.

I raised my head to see that the visage of the shapeshifter was changing once again.

It was turning into someone else and I was overcome with joy when I saw its hair increasing in length and taking a shade of red.
