My Angelic System

And at that moment, Kye closed his eyes and didn't see the blue light in front of him.

He braced himself for impact, but he felt nothing. It was as if nothing came to aim for his life in the first place. When he re-opened his eyes, he could see water covering the spear and stopping it in its tracks.

'What's that? Is it Sylvia?' Kye quickly thought as she was the only person capable of using water. Yet she wasn't strong enough to stop such a life-threatening spear. So it couldn't be her.

And suddenly, the spear shone bright and went back from where it came. Kye looked at it with closed eyes and quickly followed behind it. He didn't know who this spear belonged to, but if it was thrown at him with such a strong force, he needed to take care of this person as quickly as possible.

Kye's heart was pounding in his chest as he flew through the dense forest, trying to catch up to the spear of this mysterious assailant who had launched the attack at him. He couldn't help but wonder who could be behind such an aggressive attack. Was it a monster, seeking to aim for his life? But why? Or perhaps a dangerous individual who had a personal grudge against him? But he couldn't recall such a person.

As he flew, Kye's mind raced with questions and fears, but he pushed them aside and focused on his mission. He knew that he had to find the person responsible for the attack before they could strike again. And he didn't want to let this person or monster alone as it could severely threaten his friends' lives.

After several minutes of intense flying, Kye emerged from the forest and found himself standing in a wide-open clearing. In the distance, he could see a figure standing with its back to him, holding a spear in its hand.

And as he thought earlier, it wasn't a human but a monster. Almost 3 meters tall with its exoskeleton clearly visible under the heavy muscles of this beetle-like monster.

Kye's heart fell down into his stomach as he realized that he had finally caught up to his attacker. However, the aura behind this monster wasn't something he could face right now. The monster looked way too strong and fierce.

'Was it the right choice by coming here?' He thought with a tint of fear.

"So it is you." The beetle-like monster turned around to face him. "The one who angered the queen."

From this sentence alone, Kye understood a lot of things. First, even though this monster had a very hostile aura, it was a monster he could cope with, but with a lot of difficulties as this monster was still stronger than he could possibly face.

And the second, which was also the most important fact, was the dangerous faction of the monsters that Aria told him about a while ago. This faction was composed of old monsters, yet extremely powerful ones. And since the monster in front of him was a 'bug', it only meant that the one attacking them for a while now with the zaionistazer, and now with this invasion was an insect queen from what he said.

However, knowing this fact wouldn't help much either.

"A general of the insect queen, is it?" Kye smirked. He didn't believe his own words, yet it was better to come out as confident than scared in front of such a strong monster. "Perhaps the weakest one as those above you wouldn't come down to such a shabby place." Kye even flapped his wings to look more confident.

Yet it had the reverse effect.

"Look at this small angel trying to sound confident. You're no more than one of the so many disposable angels."

"Is that so?" Kye looked aloof. "It's the archangel Uriel who will be furious at your words."

The monster took a step back in fear. If Kye has to be honest, he took a big gamble here. He didn't know if the archangel Uriel really existed or not, yet he has to take it no matter what. He knew he will have to face the monster, so if he could use someone else's reputation, he will gladly do so.

And since the monster reacted to his words, he knew that Uriel was indeed an existing angel.

[The archangel Uriel heard you call her name]

[The archangel Uriel is puzzled to see an unknown angel call her]

'Shit. I attracted some unwanted attention.' Kye swore with a sigh. He didn't know what the future will look like now that some angels knew of him.

Nonetheless, Uriel was a high-ranking angel, so he was sure she wouldn't act in a whim.

The beetle-like monster didn't seem impressed by Kye's words, but it did seem to be hesitating a little bit. Kye took this as an opportunity and charged toward the monster first, his wings flapping fiercely. He knew he had to strike quickly before the monster could fully react. If he were to take advantage of this situation, then he could deal a heavy blow from the beginning.

However, things didn't go as planned because the monster recovered quickly and swung its spear towards Kye, but the latter was able to dodge it easily, flying up and circling around the monster. Kye's sword was shining red in his hand, ready to devour the insect entirely. And as such, he flew towards the monster again, his sword glowing with power.

The monster swung its spear again, but Kye parried it with his sword, sparks flying as the two weapons clashed. Kye could feel the immense strength behind the monster's attack, but he refused to back down. He knew he had to keep pressing the attack, otherwise, he would be at a disadvantage.

"Not bad. But you're still too weak." The monster seemed to smile as he kicked Kye in the air, sending him flying away.

But it wasn't the end of this.

The beetle-like monster followed behind Kye to continue his onslaught. But thankfully, due to the latter's proficiency over his wings, he managed to get control over himself and parry his opponent's attack.

The two of them continued to exchange blows, their weapons clashing loudly in the clearing. Kye's heart was racing as he fought, his mind focused solely on defeating the as fast as possible to go and help his friends next. He couldn't stay here for long or else, he didn't know what could happen to them.

However, suddenly, the monster let out a deafening roar and charged toward Kye with incredible speed. Kye barely managed to dodge the attack, but the monster's spear grazed his arm, leaving a deep cut.

Kye retreated, and it was then he got new messages from the system.

[New quest issued]

[Kill your opponent.

Reward: Instant level up.

Failure: Death]

However, it didn't end there because another flow of messages poured down on him from an unexpected being.

[The archangel Uriel is impressed by your movements]

[The archangel Uriel wonders about your identity]

'Seriously? I don't know whether I should be happy right now by her attention, or sad because of the monster's increasing strength.
