My Angelic System
Chapter 147 Panic

As their energies were growing stronger, the winds started to go wild more and more. It almost looked like a tornado would form if it continue.

And after a while of staring into each other's eyes, they both flew toward the other with killing intent to its fullest. They clashed in mid-air.

*Sparks*

*Sparks*

There was so much force with this single clash that sparks flew all over the place.

Kye could hear Lightbringer cry with excitement. He didn't know if it was an impression or not, but he almost felt as if the sword was alive. Nevertheless, he couldn't dwell for too long on that matter as he was slowly getting pushed back by the monster's spear.

"Arghh!" Kye gritted his teeth as he started to feel his hands go numb.

Kye seriously didn't understand how he could lose this confrontation. He has so many powers imbued in his sword, yet he couldn't win.

How was it even possible?

The beetle-like monster started pressing down on him more and more. The monster has such a wide grin on its face that a chill ran down Kye's spine.

But Kye refused to give up. He gathered all of his strength and pushed back with all of his might, causing a shockwave to ripple out in all directions.

The winds grew stronger and more violent, whipping Kye's hair around his face as he gritted his teeth and pushed back against the monster.

For a moment, it seemed like they were evenly matched, the two combatants locked in a struggle for dominance. But then the monster's grin widened even further, and Kye felt a sudden surge of fear.

He knew that he was in trouble.

The monster raised its spear high, and Kye braced himself for the worst. But then, something unexpected happened.

It was as if time slowed down.

'Do you need my strength?' A voice resounded into Kye's head. It was as if someone was using telepathy.

'Who are you?'

'My identity isn't important right now. If I don't help you, you will die by this low-ranked monster.'

'Low-ranked monster? Is he kidding me? It's not a low-ranked monster at all.' Kye thought in outrage, but after seeing the spear being swung down toward him, he shook his thought away.

As such, Kye hesitated for a moment, unsure of whether he could trust this mysterious voice. But then he realized that he had nothing to lose. He nodded his head, and the voice spoke again.

'Close your eyes and focus on my energy. Let it flow through you.'

Kye took a deep breath and closed his eyes, allowing himself to be enveloped by the energy that he felt radiating from the voice. It was like nothing he had ever experienced before. It was warm and comforting, yet powerful and awe-inspiring. But if he were to focus more, he felt as if this energy could swallow him in one well swoop if he wasn't careful.

Though, he still felt his own energy surge in response, and he opened his eyes to see the monster staring at him in disbelief while swinging its spear. Now that it was in motion, it couldn't stop anymore.

Kye grinned, feeling confident for the first time in the fight. He swung his sword faster than the monster could swing its spear and unleashed a flurry of attacks that left the monster reeling.

The two of them traded blows back and forth, the sound of clashing metal ringing out across the battlefield. However, it was now clear who had the advantage in this confrontation. Kye even felt a sense of exhilaration coursing through his veins, fueled by the power that he had been granted.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Finally, with a mighty roar, Kye struck the monster down, sending it crashing to the ground in a cloud of dust.

However, as he didn't get the 'kill notification', he flew rapidly behind the monster and stabbed the ground where it was supposed to have landed earlier.

Thankfully, he could feel Lightbringer tear through the monster's flesh. Because of all the damage it has sustained since the beginning, its exoskeleton was as potent, so Kye's sword continue tearing it apart.

And right before Kye could land the final blow, the beetle-like monster said one last thing.

"You will regret this, puppet of angels and demons!"

Kye felt a chill run down his spine hearing this but still swung his sword nonetheless.

[You have cleared the quest]

[Instant level up granted]

He had finally killed the most threatening opponent for him and his friends.

Kye let out a sigh of relief, feeling the tension and the adrenaline in his body slowly dissipate. He looked down at the fallen monster, wondering what the creature had meant by its last words. But he shook the thought away, realizing that he couldn't dwell on it for too long.

He turned to look at his surroundings, realizing that the winds had finally died down. The sky was no longer dark and gloomy, but peaceful instead. It was as if the battle had cleared the air, bringing a sense of peace to the land.

Kye smiled, feeling a sense of pride in what he had accomplished. He had faced his fears and come out on top. He had surely saved his friends and protected the military from a dangerous threat.

As he sheathed his sword, Kye felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him. He realized that he had been so caught up in the fight that he had forgotten just how tired he was.

But he also felt a sense of accomplishment, knowing that he had done something important. He had proven to himself that he was strong, brave, and capable of overcoming any obstacle that came his way.

With a deep breath, Kye closed his eyes and took a moment to savor the victory. He knew that there would be more challenges ahead, but he felt ready to face them.

However, now wasn't the time to savor his victory as his mind was still preoccupied with another matter.

His friends' well-being.

Thus, he flew back as quickly as possible toward where he came from initially.

As Kye started to make his way back to his friends, he couldn't help but think about the voice that had spoken to him during the battle. Who was it? And what did it want from him?

Kye knew that he couldn't ignore the voice, but he also knew that he couldn't just blindly trust it either. He would have to be careful and vigilant.

But for now, Kye was just happy to be alive and to have successfully completed the mission. He knew that there would be more challenges in the future, but for now, he was content to bask in the glow of his victory.

However, what he saw next was unexpected.

Once he finally came back, he could only see desolation in front of him. It was as if the monsters had killed everyone. He could see blood everywhere, flesh everywhere, and internal organs everywhere as well.

It was as if doom had descended on the military and the latter abandoned all the people living in it.

"Please tell me they are still alive."

Kye began to feel depressed as his heart started racing faster. He flew around quickly, not caring about the remaining monsters that were roaming aimlessly around. He needed to replace his friends again.

However, he soon come to realize that they were nowhere to be seen. He searched the battlefield, calling out their names, but there was no response.

Panic started to set in as Kye's mind raced with thoughts of what could have happened to them. He started to lose his grip on reality, his thoughts spiraling out of control.

"What happened to them? Did they get hurt? Did they run away?" Kye thought to himself. He couldn't help but feel responsible as he was the one asking them to leave the first battle.

He tried to calm himself down, but his mind was clouded with worry and fear. He couldn't think straight, and he couldn't focus on anything else but replaceing his friends.

Kye started to fly towards the building. He had only searched outside for now, so ha was hoping that they had taken shelter there. As he flew, his mind was consumed with thoughts of what could have happened to his friends.

"What if they were captured by the enemy? What if they were hurt and couldn't call out to me? What if they were dead?"

The possibilities were endless, and Kye's imagination was running wild. He felt like he was going to lose his mind.

As he entered the school building, Kye frantically searched every corner, every classroom, every room, even those closed to students. However, there wasn't anyone in sight. Not even students or teachers. There wasn't anyone alive. They were all dead corpses lying on the ground. The monsters inside the building were even eating the corpsed

Kye's desperation grew as the minutes passed by. He searched everywhere, even in the girls' dorm, but there was no sign of his friends. He then went to search in the teachers' offices and slammed down every door because they were all shut, but there was still no one. Not even a single soul.

In the end, Kye collapsed to the ground. He felt exhausted and defeated. Tears streamed down his face as he realized that he had lost his friends. He couldn't imagine life without them, and the thought of never seeing them again was too much to bear.
