My Angel system

Chapter 73 The Source

Luis had failed his quest because Michael had just beaten him to it, destroying more than half of the demons before he could finish dealing with the twenty that he was faced with.

The main reason Michael had dealt with the demons so quickly and cleanly was that he had used his weapons without wasting time.

The boots added a boost to his normal speed bringing his speed closer to that of Silvia that was how he had zoomed off before Luis could get the answer to his question.

While Luis was struggling to fend off the demons using him as a shot for target practice Michael easily ran between the demons reducing them to ashes with his sword.

There were about forty of them left now and they were starting to group up on him.

The first fireball came flying towards him and he easily avoided it with his speed.

"I hate demons."

Michael raised his sword up and quickly stuck it into the ground, a white light escaped through the sword and passed through the demons which were all frozen now.

He quickly pulled his sword out of the ground and dealt with the demons with none of them moving an inch.

? With that done he sheathed his sword and turned to check how Luis was doing and was in awe when he saw what Luis was doing with the flaming sword.

'The only person that had been able to do that with the sword was a fire user, even I can't do that. Does that mean?' Michael gasped as the reality hit him.

'But why would he hide it?'

Luis felt bummed, he was really looking forward to the rewards of his quest but Michael had taken that away from him by dealing with most of the demons in next to no time.

"You did great Luis," Michael said as he approached Luis.

"Yeah, but just in case we come across a group of demons like this again we'll share the demons equally."

Michael looked at Luis strangely before replying.

"Ok, I'm not sure why you want an equal kill but I think I might know where these demons are coming from," Michael said.

"You do?"

"Not really, but we can follow their footsteps and find out where they came from."

"Ok, let's get to it then."

While they were following the footsteps Luis asked Michael some questions that he had on his mind, he had figured out that the reason Michael was able to deal with the demons quickly was because of the equipments he had used and also he wanted to know how to activate the weapon's skills if it wasn't for his system he wasn't sure he would have activated it.

The weapons Michael was using and the one he had given to Luis were all mystic weapons, on holding a mystic weapon it would improve one's stats in one area, and the ones which had elemental skills would improve the holder's elemental attributes if they were the same.

'It can improve stats.' Luis thought looking at the sword which was sheathed around his waist.

[ Physical Status ]

[ Strength: 23(+1) ]

[ Stamina: 14 ]

[ Agility: 14(+0.5) ]

The only stats that the sword had improved was his strength and agility but the improvement wasn't that significant.

[ Fire ability level: 2 ]

[ Fire ability points: 26/30 ]

[ Fire points 100/100 ( temporary upgrade) ]

[ Fire skills ]

[ Fireball ]

[ Fire slash ( weapon) ]

[ Fire stream ( temporary) ]

This was the part of the weapons upgrade that Luis could really smile about, the sword had a massive improvement in his fire ability and had even given him two new skills but he knew that once he dropped the sword all those upgrades would be gone.

Luis had leveled up to level twelve during his fight earlier and that meant that he had four stat points unassigned and two skill points.

'Could this day get any better?' Luis thought, he didn't know it but he was smiling now.

"What are you smiling about?" Michael asked on noticing Luis' strange smile.

"I'm just glad I'm doing this with you," Luis said.

"Ok," Michael said and immediately halted.

"Anything wrong?" Luis asked.

"These footsteps lead into that forest over there," Michael said, pointing at a forest a little distance away from them which appeared to look scarier and darker than the ones near the school and Michael's business area.

"Well, then we should go check it out," Luis said.

"We should tread cautiously, I have a bad feeling we are going to meet something different there."

The duo headed towards the forest as Michael explained how the weapon's skills were activated.

"You just have to focus on your weapon, like trying to turn on a switch but this time with your mind," Michael explained.

'Well, that's different from the way I did it.' Luis thought.

On entering the forest the duo could hear whisperings and on getting closer to the area where the sound was coming from Michael pulled Luis behind a tree.

Two men were standing in front of a machine while speaking, no it was more like one was scolding the other.

They two looked like normal people but on activating his aura vision Luis knew the other person was no normal person.

The man speaking was bald and had a little mustache while the other person looked just like a young teenager.

"What do you mean the demons ran away?" The bald man asked.

"I've told you those demons are experimented on and I can't really control them."

While the two were busy arguing the duo hiding behind the tree had an idea of what was going on.

"Do you know the bald man?" Michael asked.

Taking a peek at the man Luis had indeed seen him a few times at school while he was conversing with other teachers but didn't know his name or what exactly was his job in the school.

"Yeah, I've seen him a few times at school but I don't know who he is," Luis said.

"I never knew Van Res would be the traitor."

"Who?"

"He's your school's new vice-principal."

'Why does the school keep employing traitorous vice-principals?' Luis thought.

"What's he doing with the demon?"

"I don't know."

Michael stopped there for some second.

'How does he know the other guy is a demon?'

Michael was about to ask Luis his question but that was their trouble.

"Come out behind the tree I can sense you." The young demon said and before they knew it a fireball came flying towards the tree causing both of them to head in opposite directions in an attempt to dodge the ball.

But this fireball was larger than that of the experimented demons and was enough to pull the tree down, but Luis and Michael were fast enough to escape on time.

"Michael." Van gasped, but then he took a serious composure. "I didn't think you would bring a kid to do your work for you."

"I never thought you were a traitor," Michael said. "Why would you betray your own kind?"

"My kind." Van chuckled. "My kind doesn't know anything, they don't know how powerful the demons are and what Lucifer is planning."

"So this is what this is all about," Michael said, gripping onto his sword in the sheath. "You don't deserve to live."

Michael quickly pulled out his sword and was about to hit on the floor when a fireball hit the sword and sent him flying backward.

"No!!"

Luis pulled out his sword and went for the attack, aiming for the demon's head but the demon was just fast enough to step out of the way.

"I thought they trained you guys better." The demon said.

'If you want to be fast then let's be fast."

[ (+2) stat points in stamina ]

[ Stamina: 16 ]

Luis was still sloppy with the sword but he managed to get a cut right down the demon's cheek.

That was when Luis realized that he had been playing with him and hadn't taken the fight seriously.

A punch was sent to his stomach as he was sent flying back and hitting the teleporter which looked different from the one Michael had, this one was in the shape of a ring.

[ -7 HP ]

Hitting the teleporter seemed to have activated it as the ring was now filled with a red form of energy.

"Now let's see what you have in that mind of yours." The demon said as he stood over Luis.

[ Interference with the mind has been blocked ]

The look on the demon's face was that of awe and confusion as a smile appeared on Luis' face.

'He smells like a human, but how?'

"You, you are the one Master Rafa was talking about, aren't you?"

"I am in no position to answer your question." Luis picked up his sword and was about to strike the demon when he tackled him pulling both of them into the teleporter.

"You are coming with me."

"No!" Michael ran to the scene with his sword, his cloth was half burnt.

The fireball from the demon didn't really do much on him rather than giving him a few wounds and he had gotten up in time to see Luis getting tackled into the teleporter.

"What do I do now? I was the one that asked him to follow me." Michael said as he looked at the teleporter.

In the end, he had made up his mind as he braced himself for the experience.

"I'm coming Luis I'm not going to let you die."
