5 Chapter 5
In the midst of darkness, magical vibrations could be felt. A creature was flying through the nest exterminating abyssal monsters at incredible speed.
The angel ferociously wielded a spear, and each time a monster was hit, a dark energy seemed to emanate from the creature to the spear. Then the beast would begin to fall apart.
The way the fight was going could only be defined as beautiful, ruthless and efficient!
Sometimes the angel used his wings to gain momentum or to dodge larger monsters. Other times, he used his spear in a 360º arc to hit various monsters around him.
When it looked like he was being cornered, he concentrated his magic power on the weapon, and with large cuts executed several monsters at the same time.
- This spear has been of great help for my constant growth.
- And the ability to be able to perform the ritual instantly is incredibly valuable.
- Thanks to Knowledge, I can battle and analyze the energy of darkness simultaneously.
- This is a really good place to accumulate power quickly. It is a pity that I cannot hunt indiscriminately.
- I must reach the Third Circle and start making my plans to get out of here.
- My concept of War allows me to survive situations that would normally cause great damage to me.
- Every time I clash, I can read the battle situation. Especially in confrontations with various creatures. - The angel thought.
The fight continued to unfold. And Augusto's battle prowess constantly increased.
He went on piercing the monsters with the spear and casting spells like [Lava Spear] and [Pillar of Darkness], a spell he developed after watching the monsters of darkness fighting each other.
This new spell concentrated the energy of darkness in a certain place, lifting a pillar from the ground of energy that melted the enemies' resistances causing constant damage.
- This is a good spell for group fights and for hunting various monsters.
Without realizing it, Augusto entered the combat more and more, punching, cutting and casting spells at an impressive speed.
The magical will matched his body perfectly, there were no unnecessary movements, everything was harmonious. If someone could see the events that were unfolding, they would be impressed with such mastery, energy and even beauty.
Although he lost all divine energy, the angel remained a superior creature. A warrior with more than 1500 years of life, who fought countless battles.
It was an admirable scene! At the height of the battle, Augusto began to merge with the environment and only flashes of light could be seen. The magical vibrations that once existed have disappeared.
Only the silence and death of the abyssal monsters remained!
You have advanced to the Third Magic Circle!
You can integrate one more concept to your Will!
Your magic ability has increased!
The battle state was a skill that some warriors managed to develop over the years and after countless battles. It was not possible to obtain through training or meditation.
This was a state where the individual who risked his life countless times was used to war and being on the edge of a life.
Warriors who reached the state of battle were considered invaluable in any army. They were used in situations where it was necessary to break the enemy formation with few numbers and where it was necessary to kill several opponents quickly.
- Finally! I will never get sick of the heady feeling of getting stronger!
- For now I will not integrate another concept to my Magic Will!
- It is necessary to think very carefully before choosing any concept, besides, I must think in the long term.
- Climbing the abyss will not be easy ... I need information about the most powerful monsters I will encounter.
- Anyway, the first thing I must do is get out of here and observe the way the strongest monsters fight.
The angel spread its wings and started to fly while watching its surroundings ...
- The Abyssal Nest looks like a large beehive carved out of bone.
- My priority is to find a place to shelter me.
The higher your flight reaches, the more the environment becomes strange and mysterious. Augusto found creatures without physical form, or monsters that seemed to be only figures, that disappeared and appeared in other places mysteriously.
- From here, it is notable that most monsters have already formed their Magic Will.
- This means that I must exercise caution when approaching any creature.
- The good news is that they continue to have low perception, are blind and attack based on the flow of mana that is emitted by other creatures.
Another information that Augusto was able to obtain is that the monsters read the amount of mana that each creature emanated before starting a fight.
A Fourth Circle monster would advance a Third Circle monster at the first opportunity. The latter would surely run away.
In a situation of equivalent forces, the abyssal monsters would be more careful when entering combat.
- I must do like them, hunt only those weaker than me until I can at least reach the Fourth Circle.
- Unlike these monsters, I am a superior creature, which can perform a much greater battle feat than monsters that do not have refined control over magic. - Augusto thought.
Augusto stopped gaining altitude and began to enter the tunnel systems carved into the walls of the abyss. After a few hours he found a cave of about 20 square meters.
In this cave he saw a monster that was similar to a wolf, but much larger. The monster was about 5 meters long and 2 meters high. His fur was all black and he seemed to be one with darkness.
[To evaluate]
[Abyssal creature - Lupus Tenebris]
[Fourth Magic Circle]
Thanks to Knowledge, Augusto received information from the monsters as soon as he concentrated on them. The [Evaluate] spell evolved into a passive ability located in your eyes.
The monster seemed to notice the angel's presence and went into a state of alert.
- What a misfortune! It seems that it will not be possible to avoid the fight.
- But I must eliminate this monster quickly. Although I can contain my body's magical fluctuations, I cannot control the amount of energy that a monster at this stage generates.
Without waiting for the beast to attack him, he concentrated the mana on his wings and feet and took a leap, advancing quickly towards the monster, as he raised his spear and pushed it into the Wolf's eyes.
The creature seemed to notice that death was stalking her and without delay moved towards the cave wall. Entering a state of complete surveillance.
Then the beast started to stare in the direction where Augusto had held his spear.
- He has incredible instincts and can see! Exclaimed the angel.
- I need a quick spell that is able to restrict the movements of this monster.
But the monster did not give time for the angel to think, the beast jumped towards the angel and opened it as if it was going to swallow Augusto completely.
At that moment, the angel's eyes shone and he saw the opportunity.
- It is a pity that this monster is such a dumb creature.
- Do you dare demonstrate your weakness in front of me? HAHAHAHA.
Augusto quickly concentrated a large amount of mana in his hand and conjured up what appeared to be a large sphere of fire!
- Succumb to me! Cried the angel.
[Solar Particle] was a terrible spell. It consisted of a large amount of concentrated mana that was later converted into an element of fire. The temperature reached in the center of the sphere was very high.
Augusto launched the [Solar Particle] towards the abyssal beast and using the finest magic control prevented it from exploding. The scene was impressive!
The Wolf was having his body charred, while the angel exercised his physical prowess by holding the beast's jaw, causing the monster to swallow fire.
The beast struggled for a few minutes and then stopped moving. Then Augusto stabbed the spear in the creature's head.
You got the energy of an abyssal monster!
You hunted a creature that possessed the Magic Will!
You subdued a Magic Will!
Your understanding of the element of darkness has increased!
- It was a good fight.
- Now I need to calm the magical fluctuations resulting from the battle ...
After ensuring that no monsters tracked his mana, he relaxed.
- After several days of fighting and strengthening myself it seems that I need to rest.
He dug an object that looked like a throne in the cave wall and then sat down.
- I will spend some time studying the element of darkness ...
