Chapter 31: Angel (3)

3rd person POV

The spell Perseus casted destroy huge portions of Thrones' main eyeball. It obliterated a huge chunk of the main eyeball and parts of the outside rings, it then use its angelic magic to heal itself back into shape, but bosses also have limited mana, it won't last any longer at this rate.

"He's still a bit far off, but he should have the same strength as us by the 92nd floor at this rate." One of the 13 gods commented "I wouldn't even argue if you guys say any earlier."

"So in a couple of years..." another one responded "We shouldn't be playing favorites, you know, he may be the most entertaining raider, but we should focus on our tasks."

"One of which is watching over him." the first god replied "Which we are, we're just having entertainment on top of it, the true gods didn't forbid that, nor did they forbid us from interfering whenever we want unless it's too much."

They didn't have to use a lot of energy for the barrier that protected the other students from the damage, they usually do not help a raider and just let collisional kills and injuries happen, but it seems like the gods are watching over Perseus for more than just entertainment.

"Though it wouldn't kill him to be nicer to us, ya know." the first admin chuckled "It should be almost time for us to update the rankings, we'll summon his sister, she's hiding her strength and we can easily tell, should we summon them both together, I wonder?"

The admins just snickered in their seats as they continue to monitor what's going on inside the tower.

<Luckily a boss this huge doesn't wear any equipment, otherwise I'd be dead by now.> Perseus thought as he wiped blood and sweat from his head.

Thrones countered with barrages of spells after it lost a lost of its health and mana. Perseus was on the defensive the whole time and can barely hit back as Thrones threw the barrage on purpose so that it can heal back to its full health.

It's wasting mana for its own life, and at the same time, it wasn't necessary that bad of a move. If Perseus doesn't protect himself, he would die by the brazen and reckless onslaught of attacks.

After the attacks stopped, Perseus then charge at the boss once again and he jumped while clouding his blade with mana. He then brings it down with his full strength releasing all of it once he made contact with one of the boss' rings.

<Dimensional rip.> he casted.

A rip then appeared in the sky at the location, the attacks ripped the rings into halves and the rip has started to morph into a blackhole of sorts that sucked all the counter spells casted by the boss.

<Photon Splitter.>

With the boss' spells getting cucked into the miniature blackhole, Perseus managed to cut the boss in 2 with his sword.

'Task complete!'

'The rewards shall be distributed to participants.'

Based on the percentage of contribution percentage, it is 100% Perseus, but as a party member, Cordelia got a huge sum of store credits that got sent to her and notified her through the system.

A giant portal appeared at where Perseus was at, the students then stumble out of the the destroyed temple that is now being reformed by the tower. Perseus was injured, but none of it was that fatal, he healed himself anyway.

Perseus POV

I'm so going to need a lot of sleep after this, a lot of water too, I'm super dehydrated. I healed myself and used magic to switch back into my S ranked outfit before me and my relieved classmates head out the portal and back into the academy.

We then got asked questions by the nearby medic and they checked up on us to see if we're okay, we're all mostly fine, but right ow, I'm more than sure that I can beat Brennan.

Brennan specialize in light and flame magic, the angel only used flame and light magic, I didn't just ask the angel to endanger myself and my classmate, I also got a SS ranked necklace as a reward, I'll just save it and give it to my sister later.

We are then sent back to our dorms for the morning and are asked to come back in the afternoon to inform Anthony and an inspector sent by the tower about what happened in that hour in the pseudo dungeon. I got a pass to not come in the afternoon, but I'll just go anyway, I've fared much worse.

"Oh no."

"Oh no, what?" Lia asked

Anthony, the director and spokesman came in with one person, a person whom I recognize fairly well, Emma Steel. She's 4 years older than me and I've known her for quite some time. The age gap between her and her brother is quite large, so that's why I didn't really care to connect the dots, they also barely look alike, so that didn't help.

She then smiled and wave at me.

"Oh, so you're my newly assigned assistant?" Craig asked

"Yes, brother." Emma replied

I just thought Steel was a common last name, and they're brother and sisters?! Shit.

"After today's incident, I thought that you would need some help in case anything goes wrong again, 2 instructors and a ranked, should be able to guarantee the safety of our raiders in the future." Anthony said "Several A class in the past have one homeroom and one assistant, we thought no better than to assign your sister who also applied to be one for this class."

"Perseus, long time no see." she greeted

"Ah, no wonder you said you were familiar with him, you already knew each other, even better." Anthony commented

"She isn't a part of your clan, how'd you 2 meet?" Lia asked curiously

"Well she was my...partner, not the you and my sister kind of partner."

"Wait...HIM?!" Craig shouted once he realized what it meant and stared between me and Emma "He's your ex boyfriend?!"

"Yeah, dude, no need to shout, the class can hear you loud and clear."
