My Angelic System-Chapter 76 An Annoying But Strong Ability
'Got you!'
Unlike his expectation, Kye didn't end the humanoid fish with this swing. No, far from it. Instead, the latter managed to block his sword, albeit sustaining some injuries, before punching him in the stomach.
Kye dodged before doing a side kick to his opponent's ribs. The fish got hit this time since it didn't expect such a quick move from Kye but didn't stay on the matter for long and swung his tail, attacking Kye's ribs as well.
[-10 HP]
Both of them took a step back before looking at each other directly in the eyes. The humanoid fish didn't have any regenerative ability, so the arm he used to block Kye's sword was now injured and completely disabled. Some of his ribs were broken as well, slowing it down a little because of it.
As for Kye, his ribs were broken as well. And he had a lot more broken ribs than his opponent since the latter has clearly more strength than him. However, thanks to his natural regeneration, his ribs were slowly regenerating, and he will soon be as good as new. His broken hand was also almost fully regenerated, so if the fight was to drag on, then he will surely win because he kept regenerating, unlike his opponent that was slowly but surely being exhausted.
Though, seeing his HP decreasing quickly like this didn't ease Kye in the slightest. On the contrary, he was beginning to slowly lose his cool, and in such a fight where he was fighting such a strong opponent, it wasn't the best thing. It could even cost him his life, so he took a deep breath before looking ahead with determination.
The humanoid fish then teleported again, and Kye could once again see the distortion in the water just in front of him. But this time, instead of attacking immediately, he decided to parry the fish's first few punches before doing a move that helped him win a lot of his spar during the weapon class.
He made a shoulder bump to destabilize the humanoid fish. After every time what looked like teleportation, the humanoid fish couldn't do it again for a few seconds. So Kye took that into account after observing it happen a few times to do this move.
A shoulder bump, even though was quite a simple move, was actually quite dangerous to perform because it left Kye open to a lot of attacks. However, since he parried his opponent's attacks before doing it, everything should have been okay.
Though, he had completely forgotten that his opponent had a tail. So the humanoid fish wrapped his tail around Kye's feet before throwing him away. 'Sh*t!' Kye exclaimed as he was sent flying away. It was hard to stop himself because the fish sent him with a lot of strength. And if the latter were to teleport behind him and punch him, adding to all the momentum he was creating, then he will with no doubt die.
And as if the humanoid fish thought about the same thing as him, it teleported a few meters away and began to take momentum to punch Kye. The latter was rushing toward him head-on without any means of stopping.
"No no no no no no!!!" Kye repeated again and again as he tried his hardest to stop his movements. And when he was just a meter away from the humanoid fish, as if his body acted on his own, his wings flapped one and big time and stopped him completely.
The wings made such a flap that it pressured the water and even hit the humanoid fish, making it fly a little away.
Kye was glad that such a thing happened, however, he was so happy that he forgot that he was still fighting, and so the fish teleported behind him again.
But even though he had forgotten about that, his instinct told him to duck, and he did just that, thus dodging his opponent's strikes. He then turned around and kicked the fish's leg, breaking it in the process.
*Crichhhhh* 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m
The monster's mind got jolted by the sudden pain and didn't see Kye swing his sword toward its leg, thus decapitating it.
The fish cried in pain again as it lost one of its limbs. And with one arm already disabled, it only had one arm remaining to fight. And as a humanoid monster with a little bit of intelligence, the monster decided to flee.
It couldn't do anything against Kye anymore. And since it didn't want to die, it teleported away.
However, Kye saw that coming. He knew that a humanoid monster wasn't ur normal monster, so it was natural that its instinct would tell it to flee. So he began to swim toward the direction the water was disturbed even before the fish teleported. And this time, thanks to the earlier situation, he managed to flap his wings a little.
It wasn't as gracious as the bird of heavens, but it was enough to improve his speed a little to catch up with his opponent before it could teleport away again.
So with all the speed, he managed to get, he swung his sword downward and cut the humanoid fish from head to toe.
It wouldn't have been possible in normal circumstances, but he had so much momentum that it cut through its hard scale easily.

Blood had splashed on him like a fountain after he killed the humanoid fish. However, the blood couldn't disgust him right now because he was way too happy for that. He had managed to kill such a strong and unpredictable monster while completing a quest at the same time which made him level up instantly.
Sure when he saw the 51,200 EXP needed to level up again, he sucked a cold breath and his mood got swayed a little. But nonetheless, it was still great. With a little bit of luck, he would manage to get another instant level-up quest, which will finally make him reach level 10. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚
And even if he didn't get one, it wasn't as if time was pressing him in any way. It was true that he wanted to see his friends again and reassure them that he didn't die. But he wouldn't get such a chance again. So he wanted to make use of it to its fullest.
So even if it would take several weeks or even a month to level up, it wouldn't matter because nothing was pressing him. He could kill almost all the monsters around him with ease now. So it was only a question of time before he could finally reach one of his goals and the first quest he ever got.
So after strengthening his resolve, Kye smiled and began hunting monsters again.
It didn't matter which monster came to him because they were all weak. Unlike the humanoid fish, the humanoid turtle, the giant snake, or even the giant whale which all exuviated such a big impression that it was almost hard to breathe in their presence, the low-rank monsters that came to him were all weak. So even after a few days of hunting, he hardly got 10,000 EXP.
