BXBX NOVEL Chapter 75 A Humanoid Fish
However, after some moment, and after having read its content, Kye was so shocked that he stopped breathing for a second.
[Angel\'s eyes have leveled up to level 2]
[Angel\'s eyes: Level 2]
[Angel\'s eyes: Allow the host to see through lies and see what is hidden voluntarily from its sight. New features will be available as the skill will level up]
Kye hadn\'t expected to see such a piece of great news at all. His Angel\'s eyes, even though he didn\'t use them a lot because seeing through lies didn\'t help him in any way when fighting, was still useful, especially when he wanted to see if someone was lying to him or not.
However, since he went hunting monsters after Aria\'s help, he kept using it. And it helped him a lot during the last fight because without it, he would have kept hitting the invisible traps, and eventually, his HP would have reached 0.
But now that his Angel\'s eyes leveled up, he would be able to use it a lot more often. The new feature which is just unlocked right now is a lot more combat-related than the previous effect. And if he were, to be honest, the first effect of Angel\'s eyes was almost like a passive skill, whereas now, he would be able to defend himself against invisible forces and use it like an active skill.
"I\'m excited again now. I want to fight," He said to himself with a big smile as his earlier exhaustion seemed to have melted away. He didn\'t search long before finding other monsters. Though, they weren\'t really strong. Some black sharks, tentadogs, and other ordinary rank monsters that he killed easily with one good Holy ray or one swing of his sword. And he killed all of them while having his Angel\'s eyes active at all times.
Though, they weren\'t of any use. He killed so many of them that he managed to level up, at the expanse of a few days of hunting. And during those few days, even though he used his newly upgraded Angel\'s eyes all the time, since the enemies weren\'t strong enough nor does they could attack with invisible things, they were useless.
\'Seriously, why does it have to be that useless?\' Kye\'s few days prior excitement had now changed with annoyance. \'And why isn\'t there any strong monster? Ain\'t the deeper I went, the stronger the opponent? Tch!\' He couldn\'t help but click his tongue as he slayed another weak monster.
It was getting more and more annoying. And with all the EXP he had to get to level up, he was sure that it would take at least a week to reach level 9, and another one and a half, or even two weeks to reach level 10. \'And why am I so sure that I will be an angel when I will reach level 10? The system ain\'t telling me anything, it\'s just my own theory. *Sigh* At this rate, I will see the other in a month or two. I hope they won\'t get furious once they will see me again.\'
As he swam aimlessly to find another monster, his spine shivered as if something was about to attack him.
*Clang*
Kye managed to parry right in time with his sword. Though, he still got propelled far away. \'What\'s up with this strength?\' He tried to look ahead, only to see nothing. \'Didn\'t I got attacked by a monster?\' Kye raised an eyebrow as he saw the water distorting to his left side.
*Psheww*
This time, instead of parrying, Kye dodged right in time. But at a finger length. What was attacking him was so fast and strong that one good hit would with no doubt crush his bones or even stop his breathing.
As Kye tried to see what was attacking him, he once again found nothing. Even with his natural great sight, he couldn\'t see anything. So he immediately used his Angel\'s eyes, only to see a punch coming right toward his face.
\'Sh*t,\' He managed to protect himself with his sword but was once again sent flying away by the strength behind the punch.
Kye didn\'t let himself be destabilized and looked at his earlier position. And unlike the other times, he could now see clearly a humanoid fish. It had a fish\'s head, a human body, and a strange-looking tail. \'Another humanoid monster?\' Kye was surprised to see another one since it was supposed to be extremely rare to find some. Though it had already been five days since his last encounter, but it was as if he had forgotten about it.
And strangely enough, the system gave him another quest.
[Kill your opponent.
Reward: Instant level up]
\'Tch, seriously, again? Do you want me to die or stay alive?\' Kye clicked his tongue.
However, he couldn\'t think more about the matter because the humanoid fish disappeared from its position to appear right by Kye\'s side. The latter did what looked like a side step but underwater before riposting with a holy ray.
And to Kye\'s surprise, instead of disappearing again, the monster protected himself by crossing his arms in an X shape. The former didn\'t wait long after his ray collided with the monster\'s arm to slash his sword, but this time, he disappeared again and appeared behind him.
\'What was that?\' Kye thought as he dodged at a hair length this time. The humanoid fish didn\'t stop there and continued punching him at a fast speed, but Kye was answering his onslaught by dodging everything. Though, it was clear that it was hard.
\'Let me use my two free stats,\' He thought as his Agility went from 14 to 16. And immediately thanks to this upgrade, he managed to see the humanoid fish\'s movements a lot clearer and dodge with much more ease.
The monster was surprised to see that, so he appeared behind Kye once again, only to be hit by a sudden Holy ray coming out of nowhere. However, unlike the fish expectation, even though its skin was very hard and sturdy, there was still a little hole in his stomach with blood coming out from it.
Kye was about to slash his sword as well since the fish was quite shocked. However, the next moment, he was sent flying again, but this time with a broken hand.
[-20 HP]
"Arghhh, it hurt," Tears almost fell down from his eyes.
Almost.
Among the pain he was currently feeling, he greeted his teeth and was thankful that it wasn\'t the hand with which he was using his sword, but his right hand. Though, it was hard to be thankful when his left hand was still hurting like hell. And the fact that his bone was regenerating made things even more difficult because it added more pain than anything else. Healing a bone this fast wasn\'t easy, and the process was surely not smooth. So Kye greeted his teeth and looked ahead where the humanoid fish disappeared once again.
Thanks to his Angel\'s eyes, he could see the distortion inside the water, so he knew where his opponent would appear next. So he swung his blade to his left with all the momentum he could muster at the moment.
\'Got you!\'
