My Angelic System-Chapter 74 A Humanoid Turtle
"Please guys, wait for me," He said as he swam toward the monster that was without a doubt a rare rank monster.
The monster looked like a humanoid turtle, making Kye suck a cold breath seeing it. Humanoid monsters were far stronger than normal monsters, mostly due to the fact that they weren't as dumb as them. They didn't have enough intelligence to speak or create a plan, at least when they are low rank, but have enough intelligence to know how to fight without underestimating their opponents. And the closer Kye got to the monster, the stronger the impression he felt.
'I don't think that's a rare rank monster. The pressure I'm feeling right now is way more oppressive than any monsters I met until now, even more than this whale and the snake,' Kye thought as he stopped swimming and slowly went back on his track. He didn't mind fighting stronger opponents because it was the only way to improve. The more closely he will get to death during a fight, the more he will learn and improve because he will fight using everything he could.
However, there was a limit to that. There wasn't any point in fighting if he knew that he will face his doom. The humanoid turtle seemed far stronger than what he could even imagine, so it was better for him to flee while he could.
Though, as if lady luck didn't like his cute and handsome face, the humanoid turtle sensed him and began to swim at full speed toward him. 'Seriously, me and my lu-...' Kye didn't finish his words because of how taken aback he was.
There were more than a hundred meters between Kye and the humanoid turtle. However, while Kye's speed was extraordinary underwater while not being an aquatic being, the humanoid turtle's speed was... slow. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮
It was so slow that Kye was sure he could escape from such a monster without any issues. 'Should I fight it?' He had all the time he wanted to think since the humanoid turtle was as slow as a … turtle. 'But even if it's slow, it probably has a special ability like the whale and the snake. And I'm sure that it has a very high defense as well. So it's going to be hard to kill it,' Kye kept thinking while keeping a very safe distance between him and the monster. He didn't know what could happen, so it was better to be safe than sorry.
Though, after thinking for another five minutes while weighing the pros and cons, Kye finally took his decision.
'I guess I will fight it. I' can use my superior speed t attack some unprotected area. Though, I will have to aim well because its shell covers almost all of his back. So I would need to be careful when I will be close to it,' He then swam toward it because if he were to wait for the monster to come, the night would come.
So after manifesting his sword in his hand, Kye swam toward the turtle with cautiousness. And as if he predicted such a thing, the turtle move its right hand slowly when it saw Kye coming.
*Peww*
A sudden burst of water hit Kye from his left, making him fly almost fifty meters away.
[-8 HP] 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢
'Arghh, what was that?' As Aria said, his suit had been improved so well that it didn't get damaged. However, he could still feel his skin burning under it. ' SH*T IT HURTS LIKE HELL!!'
Even though he was regenerating quickly, feeling his skin burning isn't the best of feelings. 'Calm down Kye,' He took a large breath to recover his mind before thinking about what had happened. 'It waved its hand when around ten meters was separating us, and the burning water hit me when I was at around five meters away from it.
'So that means that it's either the attack that's damn slow, or like a trap that activates the moment I'm near it.'
Kye decided to go back once he was fully regenerated, only to be sent away again by the same attack.
[-8 HP]
'It hurts,' He could still feel his skin burning and regenerating again. 'And I will soon reach 0 if this continues,' This time, he went again but stopped once he saw the humanoid turtle waving its hand. And as if he was right earlier, nothing happened. 'It looks like it's a trap. And since the turtle isn't moving either, it seems that it doesn't differentiate allies from foes.'
And as they were doing a staring contest, Kye suddenly got an idea. His eyes turned yellow, indicating that he had activated his angel's eyes. And as if a new world had appeared in front of him, he was now able to see the traps.
'How can there be 10 traps if it only waved its hand once?' Kye counted all the traps quickly before stepping back a little. 'And it seems I was right. All the traps are in a five-meter radius of their current position.' Now that Kye could see what made him lose sixteen HP, he could finally fight with more ease and navigate through the traps without triggering any of them.
Seeing that, the turtle got furious, and this time, it waved its left hand. And as if it was the beginning of a nightmare for Kye, the ten traps began to slowly move toward him. 'Curse you lady luck!' He made an internal middle finger before dodging the incoming tras with ease. 'At least they are still slow.'
Kye kept navigating through the traps while the humanoid turtle kept waving both hands like a mad man in the hope to hit him again. However, since they were all slow while kye's seed almost looked divine in comparison, none touched him, even after ten minutes had passed.
'Now the time to pass at the offensive,' Kye smiled as he swam toward the turtle while dodging the traps thanks to his Angel's eyes. And sensing danger, the monster shell moved to the front, leaving its back exposed. 'Seriously why are monsters so strange?' He thought as his sword bumped after hitting the hard shell.
The latter then moved back to the turtle's back so it could move with more ease. However, it was surprising to see a golden ray coming right toward its head.
*Ploup*
The turtle entered its head inside its body to dodge the ray. However, even before having the time to put his head back to the surface, it suddenly lost any type of connection with its right arm.
*Kshiiiiiiiii*
'You may have a hard shell, but it only covers one side of your body,' Kye thought as he heard the turtle's cry of pain. 'And without your right arm, you won't be able to injure me anymore,' Kye had a wide grin on his face as he kept slashing the turtle's body.
The latter moved its shell back and forth. However, Kye was still faster, so he slashed his opponent with such ease that it was almost scary.
[You killed a rare rank human turtle, +3,000 EXP]
"Yes!!!" Kye shouted in joy as he saw the lifeless body of the human turtle descend into the depth of the sea. "I managed to kill a rare rank monster with ease," Kye was so happy that he didn't even notice the system window at first. However, after some moment, and after having read its content, Kye was so shocked that he stopped breathing for a second.
