The Archangel of Death - Chapter 163

163: Preparation 163: Preparation Chapter 163 The next moment my senses came back to me; I was standing in front of the cave where I had faced the skeletal general earlier.

Looking at the time, I figured I had been brought exactly seven minutes in the past.

[You know you’re quite weird] [Usually one would marvel at such a scene, not analyze it] ‘I’m your son.’ Although it was an impossible fight given our stat differences, if I had a chance to prepare beforehand, I could have defeated it.

Of course, I went in with the assumption of facing an A- monster so it made sense that I didn’t prepare much but now that I knew what lay past this entrance, I will prepare all that I could because this was a golden opportunity.

I defeat this one monster; I won’t have to worry about my level anymore.

[Prepare better this time] [I won’t help you out every time] ‘You’re still here?’ I asked as I was sure he would have left by now.

[Nope] [I want to see if I wasted this chance on you or not] ‘Ugh, fine.

Stay.

But be quiet.

Don’t distract me.’ [When have I done that?] [Huh?] [Huh?!] [HUH?!!!] ‘You’re doing that right now.’ I replied curtly before I was reminded of something.

‘Where’s Allison?’ I asked.

[She’s fine] [She’s resting] ‘I see.’ [Why?] [Are you afraid I might have done something to her?] ‘No.

I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t do anything to her.’ [Really?] [Why are you so sure?] ‘Because she’s your ex-girlfriend.’ […] Finally, silence descended in my head as I searched for the equipment I was searching for.

Most of the equipment that matched my level was very expensive and some wasn’t even compatible with me.

Although my authorities enabled me with every element, my main focus had always been death and life so the equipment related to them would be optimal in my situation.

[Wh…What?] Finally, after a few minutes, my father came to his senses when I had just found out the artifact I needed.

The price made me hiss because the amount of money I had earned today would go poof if I purchased that and my plan to increase my life element would also go bye-bye.

However, making it out of this situation held priority.

I needed to raise my level no matter what and the enemies in this dungeon are golden opportunities that might never come again.

‘Stop acting like an idiot.’ ‘Do you really think I wouldn’t notice?’ ‘She knew about you like mom.’ ‘She even knew more about death than me, a literal spawn of death.’ ‘Do you think I wouldn’t notice even with all of those hints?

All the more when you cemented my suspicion by acting like this just now?’ I said it all in a breath while in actuality, I was relieving the frustration of losing my hard-earned money.

[Please don’t tell your mom] ‘Do you think I’m an idiot?’ ‘Who do you think would be the collateral damage?’ My mom was one of the scariest mothers in the world.

If I told her anything like this and she figured out that I held onto this information for even a minute, she would blame me for not telling her as well.

No matter how lovely she was, she was still an unreasonable wife who loved her husband disturbingly too much.

[That too] [She’s scary when she’s angry] [But that makes her hot] I couldn’t see my father’s expression but I could tell he was afraid and infatuated at the same time.

Although he was far too strong than my mother, a cosmic power and whatnot, he was still just another husband in any regular household.

He was also a sucker for his wife.

And also, he wasn’t the only one who was afraid of my mother so I decided to be wise and kept my mouth shut.

Besides, this love story was before I was born anyway.

Best not to think too much about it.

I turned my attention back to the armor that was showing in the shop.

[Armor of Israfel (Copy)] [Rank: S+] [Description: An armor created from divinity for the archangel Israfel who was the main vanguard of the four Archangels.

He was known for his resilience but that resilience was especially a headache when he would wear this armor to battle.

This was a peculiar armor that wouldn’t do anything if one wore it because it was simply a piece of metal.

The special thing about it was the inscriptions drawn from divinity that would activate using the power of the wearer on it which made it special.

Effects: #1: At the cost of 1000 MP, all physical stats +100 and all non-combat stats +200 Duration: 5 minutes Cool down: 1 hour #2: At the cost of 3000 MP, all physical stats +150 and all non-combat stats +300.

All life branch skills +1 level and 10% stronger Duration: 7 minutes Cool down: 3 hours #3: At the cost of 5000 MP, all physical attacks +300 and all non-combat stats +500.

All life branch skills +2 level and 20% stronger.

The effect ‘Recoil’ would take place which would transfer half of the damage inflicted on the wearer back to the inflictor Duration: 5 minutes Cool down: 5 hours ***The wearer must possess divine power*** ***Any type of energy can be used to power the armor***] [Cost: 1,000,000,000] The effect of the armor was amazing, to say the least.

I could only use the first effect for now since my MP was limited.

Once my DeBuff was removed, I will be able to use the second power as well.

However, the price was equally in equilibrium.

The price was too much and that was the least of my problems.

My current revenue was about 1.5 billion and if I used one billion on this, I would have to push my plans forward by a lot.

With my money not enough, I won’t be able to purchase enough artifacts with divine energy to enhance my life element.

[Want my help?] ‘No thanks.’ My dad wasn’t offering for no reason, if I asked, he would give me what I wanted but that wasn’t how I do things.

He would no doubt give me whatever I wanted, he wasn’t stingy like that, but that also meant that I would be cheating.

Any other test, I wouldn’t have declined but a test of my father, there was no cheating here.

All I could do was push through.

The fact that he had already helped me greatly with time reversal was proof enough that he wouldn’t deny me any help.

Still, I wanted to do this on my own.

This much help was enough.

My pride took a great hit when I received help from him but I instinctively called for help.

[That’s what parents are for] [You and your stuck-up pride] I ignored the words of my father and purchased the item.

As the money disappeared from my account, the hit I received was much more painful than the hit that almost killed me from the skeletal general.

“Fuu…” I exhaled and finally equipped the armor.

As soon as I did, a weight fell on me that caused me to kneel on the floor.

One thing the system didn’t mention in the description was the weight of this thing.

Strangely enough though, there wasn’t a DeBuff on agility.

I could feel I wouldn’t be able to move as fast as before but there was no DeBuff.

[It’s not heavy] [Under the effect of the amour] [Passive effect of resistance against darkness has been activated] It wasn’t heavy, it was reacting to the death energy inside of me, weighing me down.

[Let me help] The weight on my shoulders lessened instantly and the effect of the armor disappeared.

[Though there’s a drawback] My father said.

I understood what he meant.

The effect of the resistance from dark energies disappeared not only for me but also for the enemy I would face ahead.

The resistance effect disappeared altogether.

Which meant I would also not be impervious to the attacks of darkness.

But I could at least move so that was a sacrifice I was willing to make.

When the effect disappeared, it felt like I was wearing just nothing.

If my vision wasn’t confined to just a straight line that the helmet of the armor provided, I would say I was wearing nothing at all.

[Sacred blessing] I used the first option of the armor and I was happy to feel the flow of power in myself.

I used the buff on myself but unfortunately, my skill’s effects weren’t enhanced.

Since there was not enough time ahead, I needed to enter and finish this battle in five minutes.

That’s what my deadline was, five minutes and the timer had already started.

Just as I entered the room, once again, something hit me.

As if it was waiting for me, it appeared out of nowhere and struck me in the same place it did last time.

However, the difference this time was my preparation.

All I did was simply step a little back, that was all.
