The Archangel of Death - Chapter 164

164: ‘Time’ has come 164: ‘Time’ has come Chapter 164 [MP potion has been consumed] [MP has fully recovered] Thanks to the effect of the armor of Israfel, I was doing a lot better against the undead skeleton general.

But I wasn’t the winner.

Granted that because my strength had increased by a lot thanks to the stat increase effect, my physical stats in the realm of at least A rank, and the non-combat stats in the realm of S-, it still wasn’t a fair fight.

I was lower than in terms of speed and it was faster than the speed of my magic cannons, the only I had against the undead.

Still, each successful shot granted me a hit of at least 30 HP whereas before the armor, my attacks barely did the damage of 10 HP.

But, I was in a timeframe, the undead wasn’t.

It was stronger, faster, and finally, intellectual.

It was biding time, trying to wear me down and it was working.

The fatigue was accumulating very fast and I had already consumed three stamina potions.

The effect granted by them was now almost negligible, making this already hard fight even harder.

[MP has been depleted] [MP potion has been consumed] [MP has fully recovered] This was my sixth MP potion in just one minute and three seconds into the fight.

[HP 2388130000] It was still kicking and well, and I was running out of time.

The only strategy I had was to keep shooting at the undead while not moving around but if I remained in one place, it would come for me and it wouldn’t be kind enough to inflict slight damage on me.

Of course, the hits were now tamer than before but I had less HP compared to it and it was shaving off at least 10~20 of HP with each hit.

Not something I could afford.

[The undead are low in health] [This one seems to be a special case to me] Me too.

Undeads are lower in health compared to the other monsters but this one wasn’t.

Its HP was even more than the monsters of the same rank as it.

[Your only option is to stand still] [You’re getting tired too fast] He was right, if I was going to tire out and affect my efficiency anyway, I might as well use myself as bait and try to duke it out like men.

I stopped moving and while it was chasing me, it crashed into me because of my sudden stop.

I lost some HP because of it but I also began to rain magic cannons on it.

With this close proximity, dodging my attacks would be very difficult.

Seeing that I had dropped all regards for damage, it did as well.

It began to furiously punch me in the chest and kept punching me while I kept raining magic cannons on it.

My HP and MP, both ran out very soon.

[HP potion has been consumed] [MP potion has been consumed] [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%] I decided to go all out against this fuc*er too.

Although I was still low in terms of stats even with all the buff potions and the buff skill, the distance lessened very much amongst our physical characteristics.

Even my hits were now hurting it although the damage was only somewhere between 1~5.

We both rolled on the ground like children and kept hitting each other.

It wasn’t a fight between two supernatural powerhouses but a brawl between children.

And it was winning.

Even with the buffs on my MP and HP, they were running out too fast.

And the other thing that worried me was the time.

I was left with only a little bit more than 40 seconds.

I dropped magic cannons on it, hit it with everything I had, and even used holy bombs on it and finally, I managed to bring its HP down to 2000 however, I had run out of time while doing so.

As I stopped feeling powerful, the next punch from the undead knocked the bonkers out of me.

I skidded across the floor as it stood up.

It was staggering given the extent of damage but it was still in a better condition than me.

[HP 1201365] [HP potion has been used] [MP potion has been used] [High heal] [Moon shift vitality] [3% MP has been restored] [3% HP has been restored] [HP 10971365] I was still in the midst of healing and recovering from pain when the undead skeleton arrived before me and picked me up by my neck once again.

My HP began to go down greatly as I felt suffocated but before it could get critical, my final move was ready.

Of course, it was going to hurt me as well but it was going to hurt it a lot more.

===== [I doubt the armor will be enough to defeat it] ‘I know but I have no other choice.

All the cards I have, I’m going to use them.’ It was true that with the armor, I wasn’t going to win against the undead skeleton general but I couldn’t use death branch skills on it.

The only attack skills I had were my own fists and the magic cannon.

Other than that, I had no other card to play.

[And you call yourself a genius] I was quite pissed at my father’s words but I chose to ignore them and focused on the underlying meaning of his words.

It was true that I was a genius and I was more intelligent than him at least hence there was no way I could have missed a point.

[Hey!] [That was uncalled for] ‘Stop acting like a child and tell me what I’ve missed.’ [Well, when you ask so rudely like that…] ‘Shut up and tell me!’ I shouted to stop him from talking.

[Fine] [Haa… Kids these days] [In my time, children used to respect their parents] ‘Dad, I swear, if you waste any more of my time, I will tell Mom everything despite the backlash I would receive.

[Fine] [There was a man I fought once] [I lost three times against him before I won] [Do you know why I lost?] ‘Why?’ I asked, annoyed at his storytelling but I held myself back.

[It was because I was a fool] [The perfect battle doesn’t exist] [Everyone has a hidden card] [Some use deception, some use people] [While some don’t even care if they get hurt in the process] It wasn’t some wisdom he was trying to impart to me.

It was just an option; an option I was free to consider.

The option of recklessness.

===== [Ring of the Mad King] [Grade: A+] [Effect: As the user takes damage, the ring recharges and lets out an explosion once used] [Caution: The user won’t die from the explosion and the HP will be stuck at 1 for three minutes, however, the pain will occur just as normal] [Recharge at 1000010000] [Keyword: Madness] [Cost: 200,000] [One-time use only] The price was reasonable and although the grade of the ring was high, since it was consumable and one-use only, its price was ten times lower than the lowest of A rank artifacts.

I finally reached the ten thousand damage and now I was also on the verge of death.

However, if I used the ring, the explosion would no doubt kill the undead and bring me a hell of pain.

Not only did I had to endure pain, consume HP potions multiple times, and then again endure pain, I would have to endure even more pain now.

[Look on the bright side] [You did it in the first try] ‘Yay!’ That would make the pain of burning so much better.

“Madness.” Boom!!!

The explosion engulfed us both and I burned.

Like literally burned, my skin melted off and my flesh was exposed, most of which was burned and the left was no better either.

I was just like the science lab mannequin or Harvey Two-face only full body.

[Yay!] [You did it] I was pretty thankful that my insides were burning making speaking difficult, even in my mind, otherwise, I would have cursed this bastard so much that his ears would have bled.

[Critical damage] [HP at critical stage] [Deploying emergency measures] [HP too low for treatment] [Damage too severe] [Effect ‘Excessive bleed’ has taken place] [Your HP will diminish by 500 every second] [Error] [HP dismissal not possible] [MP potion has been consumed] [HP potion has been consumed] [3% of HP has been restored] [3% of MP has been restored] [High heal] [Moon shift vitality] [Damage contained] [Status effect ‘Excessive bleed’ has now been lifted] [Emergency protocol now available] I began to feel better once all the emergency measures I had in place were activated.

I wasn’t in tip-top shape at once but I was slowly healing now at least.

[You have defeated the demon knight Kasgharus] [A world achievement has been obtained] [Error] [Error] [A plot of the eighth volume has been erased] [Time hole has been created] [Time would now mend] “…” [Uh-oh] “You fuc—” Before I could even properly curse my father, massive pain assaulted me as the earlier pain felt like a joke.

Because this pain came straight from my soul.

Time had found me.
