CHAPTER 93: INVISIBLE ATTACK

[Now merging the skill: Demonic Transformation and the skill: Murderous Aura...]

With this new notification popping out of the azure floating screen, Azrael realizes that he is now returning to his previous state before he used the Demonic Transformation skill, his body immediately reacting to the falling sensation as a platform of Immortal Energy starts forming on his feet, preventing him from falling any closer towards the Island Orca.

Feeling like another wave of serious danger is about to come his way though, he immediately moves away from his previous position, his sense of danger not failing him as the moment that he do so, the air within his previous location starts compressing at an absurd rate, anything caught within the area gathering at a specific point, the poor lesser monsters that was included in such a terrifying attack turning into nothing but a sphere of meat with blood still oozing from it.

’This is troublesome...’ seeing the means of attack the Island Orca has, Azrael frowns to himself as his mind starts trying to figure out how can such a thing just happen, becoming even warier of the monster he is fighting especially since he still isn’t aware of the full extent of its capabilities.

’I can definitely survive from that but... it would be a problem to regenerate if it can—’ before he can even finish his thoughts, the young man was once again interrupted by the same abrupt changes in the air around him, the heavy feeling that comes just before everything within a certain area is compressed to a ball the size of his fist now bearing down on his body once again.

Leaping away from the platform he had created, Azrael then exploded in speed as he tries to get out of the grasp of this peculiar, invisible attack, his speed granting him just enough distance to escape from being turned into a meat ball, but not without its price.

"Tsk... that fucking hurts..." looking at the stump where one of his arms are supposed to be, the young man mutters to himself, completely ignoring the pain as the Immortal Energy in his body start surging as if to repair the damages that the attacks on him had done, making him feel itchy as the wound closes up in no time before the lost parts starts regenerating at an absurd rate, forming bones, muscles, then skin within just a few moments later.

’Good thing Evil Fang isn’t caught in the attack...’ he thought to himself as he continues avoiding each of the attacks that is heading his way, feeling quite irritated as he still couldn’t figure out how this massive monster is doing that, as well as how is it even possible for such an absurd attack to be used consecutively as if it is nothing but swinging sword normally against enemy.

’Fuck this, I can train my senses with this sort of attacks, it is way better this way, hahaha!!’ if anything though, the young man wasn’t really the type to dwell on such complain and think that everything is unfair, the way his mind works being revealed as he starts changing from thinking that it is absurd to thinking that such attacks might really be a good way for him to improve on himself.

With bodies of lesser monsters, along with the waters from the clouds in the high skies compressing into flesh spheres dyeing the vast, azure ocean with blood as it falls, continues falling down from the skies from each and every single one of the Island Orca’s attacks, a figure of a young man, appearing like a fly roaming around the massive, superior creature can be seen continuously avoiding the vicious attacks, all while returning fire as well, his attacks not too significant that it can cause even a minor damage on the massive killer whale’s body.

’Should I just head inside?’ recalling a certain tale from when he is still on Earth, outside the tower, the young man thought to himself, truly considering such thing as he can see the Island Orca’s open mouth ever so often, the temptation to head in and damage the titanic monster from the inside immense, but he chooses not to do so as everything can happen in the tower.

’Who knows if its internal is even tougher than the outside...’ he thought to himself with an uncanny amount of intuition as if he can see that it is most likely the case, the only reason why he is still tempted to do so even then is the fact that he can never be certain until he truly tries to do so.

As he thinks of ways to try and deal with this new, peculiar attacks, the young man then starts shifting his attacks to the melee, trying to deal damage at close range of the monster, not directly but through the use of his other skills.

[Flora Manipulation (Active, Unique)]

[Effects: Grants direct control over every flora in the surrounding five-hundred-meter range (Increase depending on the user’s mental strength)]

’Who knew that meditation can increase mental strength as well?’ looking at the current range of the skill that he acquired after defeating his first Epic-class monster, Azrael thought to himself with a satisfied smile on his face as he waves his hand, his eyes glowing a tinge of green as he does so, seemingly affecting the massive flora on the Island Orca’s back despite their distance.

With the wave of his hand, the trees, along with the other plants on the Island Orca’s back starts turning on their benefactor, the one who allows them to reside on its back, the leaves of the trees there turning razor sharp as it pierces the earth covering the skin of the monster, while some accelerates the growth of their roots all the way until its tip is already stabbing the flesh of the monster, each plants doing their own thing to hurt the massive monstrosity that shouldn’t exist on the lower floors of the tower.
