Chapter 180: Shalker!? (1/2)

Moby stared at the explosions and multiple flashes of purple light that lit up the night sky. Part of him felt like that his display might have alerted some school staff but considering how far away from campus they were, it should have only been a small chance. But a chance was still a chance so he had to hurry up and get things over with just in case. Not to mention that his friends were probably still fighting and might require some assistance.

Moby was about to run out of his sin mode in about 2 minutes and at this point, his energy reserves were almost depleted yet his health was now quarter full. He could finally move his body that was on the verge of collapse normally once more which felt extremely refreshing to him.

He wanted to speed things up but all he could do now was wait for the system alert telling him that he defeated his enemy.

Then, just like he expected, a few seconds later he was greeted by the sound of a notification. However, it was not the notification he wanted to see yet it still made him happy none the less.

'It should only be a few minutes now…' He thought, staring at the notification before it disappeared.

Then, Moby's onslaught of attacks suddenly and abruptly came to a halt. However, he was yet to receive the notification telling him that he had defeated his opponent which was slightly alarming. And, due to his now depleted mana, he was forced into removing the hundreds of floating ice shards that required an insane amount of mana and mental control as he could no longer sustain them due to his energy regeneration nowhere near being enough to keep up.

Moby stared intently at the cloud of dust ahead of him.

'Interesting… Did he actually managed to survive it or is it just a glitch in the system? Well time for the backup plan then,' Moby calmly thought.

As the dust cleared, Nags's heavily panting figure finally came into view, a blue, broken barrier surrounding him, blood dripping down his entire body.

The black armour that he once wore was now nowhere to be seen as it was completely replaced by his school uniform that had most likely laid underneath.

The disk beneath his feet looked similar in shape to the blue barrier around his body.

His bloody eyes were now sharp, deadly slits, his teeth were gritted, his legs were deeply bent, barely managing to stand on what remained of his flying disk and both of his hands were tightly clenched into trembling fists.

Emotions were exuding out of him more than ever before, strengthening Moby even more.

'Well, shit… He must have had some trick up his sleeve…'

”To think… I was actually forced into using my shield of absolution… My trump card…” Nags said in a low voice, most likely talking about his blue barrier.

It was his final trump card that he could only use once per day. Shield of absolution. It allowed Nags to deflect a move no matter how strong it was all onto his armour. That was why his armour shattered. The extra injuries on Nags were brought about since his technique was not yet perfect and some energy managed to leak out and attack him.

”I went into this fight thinking you were human… But it seems like I had the wrong mindset… That was my biggest miscalculation… Your last words confirmed it all to me when you thought you had me dead! You aren't human! You can't be human! No human could do what you just did! This could only mean one thing! You're a fucking shalker aren't you!?” Nags yelled, pure hatred in his shrieking voice.

”Huh!?” Moby immediately replied, not even trying to hide his surprise.

”Don't act stupid! What else could those horns mean? Or those lines under your eyes? All you have is1 extra horn, extra wings, and a different colour scheme! You must be some sort of evolved, or different breed of shalker that was sent to earth to spy on us! I'm not sure how the hell you're able to use our abilities but that makes no difference to me now! I'm not sure if the boss knew this and that was why they wanted you but now that I know this, I don't fucking care about these orders anymore! You're fucking dead! You're kind killed my sister!” Nags screamed, tears in his eyes and a crazy look on his face.
