Awakening: Reincarnating With the SSS-Level Extraction Talent

[Divine Behemoth - Level 500 Rank 6 - Mythical Boss]

[HP: 50,000,000]

The angel and the monster clashed in a violent storm of power.

The angel swung his [Divine Blade] with blinding speed, sending arcs of golden light slashing through the air.

Each strike left deep gouges in the behemoth's thick hide, the divine energy searing its flesh.

-984,831! -736,274! -811,049!

The Infernal Behemoth roared in fury, its massive claws tearing at the ground as it counterattacked.

It unleashed a torrent of fire, the flames consuming the entire clearing and forcing the angel to take to the skies with his wings.

"How is he dodging all of that?" Alice whispered, awe in her voice as she watched the angel effortlessly maneuver through the inferno.

"He's fast," Alex muttered, his eyes narrowing. "Too fast. If that thing gets in close, it's over for us."

The angel retaliated with a devastating move.

Raising his blade high, he summoned a massive pillar of light that descended from the heavens, crashing into the Infernal Behemoth with explosive force.

-12,573,923!

The beast howled in pain, its massive frame trembling as it staggered backward.

But it wasn't out of the fight yet.

The Infernal Behemoth slammed its fists into the ground, causing the earth to quake.

Massive spikes of molten rock erupted from the ground, forcing the angel to retreat further.

"Even he's struggling," Alex whispered.

"But look at the damage he's done," Alice pointed out. "That thing's already lost a lot of its health..."

True enough, the Infernal Behemoth's HP bar was rapidly depleting.

The angel dove back into the fray, his blade moving like a blur as he aimed for the beast's head.

The Infernal Behemoth roared, swiping its massive claws at him, but the angel twisted mid-air, narrowly avoiding the attack.

With a powerful downward slash, the halberd cleaved into the beast's skull, dealing a devastating blow.

[Weakness point hit, dealing 1000% of damage]

-17,823,901!

Alex couldn't help but marvel at the sheer precision and strength of the angel. "If that's the kind of power I'm up against..."

He trailed off, his thoughts racing.

The angel's movements, his strategies, the way he exploited the Infernal Behemoth's weaknesses—it was all valuable information.

"Alex, do you think you can take him?" Alice asked hesitantly.

"..." Alex analyzed the opponent, "I don't know."

The battle raged on, the forest trembling with each clash.

The Infernal Behemoth unleashed one final desperate attack, a massive wave of molten fire that spread in all directions.

But the angel was ready.

With a burst of speed, he closed the distance, plunging his blade into the beast's chest.

A blinding explosion of light followed, and when the dust settled, the Infernal Behemoth lay motionless, its massive body crumbling into ash.

The angel stood tall, his weapon resting on the ground as he surveyed the battlefield.

Alex let out a slow breath, "We should be careful."

Alice nodded, her face pale. "If that's what a level 500 angel can do... how are you supposed to beat one?"

Before Alex could respond, the angel suddenly turned, his glowing eyes locking onto their hiding spot.

For a moment, there was silence.

Then, the angel began to move toward them, his blade dragging along the ground with a menacing scrape.

Alex crouched lower behind the bushes, motioning for Alice to stay still. "Don't make a sound," he whispered, his voice barely audible.

Alice clutched her bow tightly, her knuckles white.

She nodded, her breathing shallow as her wide eyes remained fixed on the approaching figure.

The angel stopped a few meters from their hiding spot, his head tilting slightly.

His glowing eyes scanned the forest, his aura a palpable force that seemed to suffocate the air around them.

"I know you're there," the angel spoke, his voice cold and resonant. "There's no point in hiding."

Alex cursed under his breath.

He knew it would be foolish to run; the angel's speed would outmatch theirs in an instant.

Slowly, he stepped out from behind the rock, his hands raised in a show of submission. "We mean no harm," he said neutrally.

The angel's piercing gaze locked onto Alex, then shifted to Alice, who reluctantly emerged behind him.

For a moment, the angel was silent, his expression unreadable.

His blade rested on the ground, but his posture remained tense, ready to strike at a moment's notice.

"You are not from here," the angel said, his tone laced with suspicion. His eyes narrowed as he studied them. "I don't sense any divine energy from you."

It was unthinkable for him that someone that wasn't an angel could appear here, so he simply thought that their divine energy was slow, or that they were suppressing it.

The angel hadn't yet determined whether they were enemies, and that gave him a sliver of hope to counterattack.

"We're angels," Alex replied, unfazed by the divine energy.

The angel's gaze lingered on them, his glowing eyes scanning for any sign of deceit.

The silence stretched, each second feeling like an eternity.

Finally, he lowered his blade slightly, though the tension in his stance remained.

"If you truly are angels, then I believe showing me your wings won't be an issue?"

No divine energy was not that rare as not every angel could fight, but every angel had wings.

And at that moment, Alex knew they were fucked.

The angel's eyes flickered, the faintest trace of amusement crossing his face.

But then, his expression darkened.

He stepped back, his blade rising slowly. The air grew heavier, charged with an ominous energy.

But before he could do anything else, Alex lunged forward, activating [Shadow Veil] then [Shadow Strike].

-91,320!

In retrospective, that was pretty low, but that wasn't what Alex sought.

Instead...

Ding!

["Bleed" has been dealt to "Angel Tribe Member", causing 20% of health.]

-8,000,000!

The angel, who had 40 million hp, was suddenly struck and hurt, forced to back away.

His gaze sharpened, and a flicker of realization crossed his face. "Now I see... you're not divine."

The angel's stance shifted, his grip on the blade tightening as golden light began to emanate from him.

"You do not belong here," the angel said, his voice low and threatening. "And that makes you a threat."

The angel moved, his blade slicing through the air with deadly precision.

The ground where Alex and Alice stood erupted in a blinding flash of light.

"Move!" Alex shouted, grabbing Alice's arm and leaping out of the way just in time.

The angel then fully turned towards them, his wings unfurling in a display of divine power.
