Although the pain had completely stopped, Luis wasn't getting up as he was trying to take in the numerous messages that were appearing on his screen now.
[ Evolution Complete ]
[ Congratulations, you have successfully evolved into an Angel ]
[ All stats will receive an upgrade of (+4) ]
[ (+2) stat points received ]
[ (+1) skill point received ]
[ You have unlocked the Angel skills ]
[ Angel skills available ]
[ Possession ]
[ Flight ]
[ Telepathy ]
Looking at all the skills Luis didn't really need the system to tell him what they could all do but what he didn't understand was whether unlocking flight would give him wings.
[ Flight ]
[ Once activated is unlimited as long as you remain in the air, but once deactivated needs a cool down time of two hours before it can be used again ]
Reading the description Luis didn't exactly get his answer but he did learn that the skill wasn't going to be so reliable in some sort of fight.
'But it can get better with each level up.' Luis thought.
Luis didn't really need to read the description of the other two as he had already made up his mind on which skill he was going to unlock.
He didn't see any use for telepathy and possession now, but flight he had longed to get since learning that he had become an Angel.
He still had one other skill that was made available during his first evolution which he was also planning on unlocking.
'Compel can be useful in many situations but I don't really see any use for unmerited favor in a fight against demons.' Luis thought.
Unmerited favor maybe wouldn't make much of an effect in a fight against demons but it could do something in a fight against humans.
[ Flight will cost you five skill points. Would you like to unlock it? ]
[ Yes/No ]
'Are you trying to rob me or something, system?'
During all his fights, completing quests, and leveling up, Luis had managed to gather six skill points, he thought maybe he could split it equally between flight and compel but it turns out the Angel skills were more expensive.
In the end, Luis had no choice and gave in to his desires and curiosity of seeing what a wing would like on him.
The system hadn't stated wings in the skill's description but he was confident that would be the case here.
[ (-5) Skill points ]
[ Flight has been unlocked ]
[ Flight: Level 1 ]
[ Flight speed: 50mph ]
[ Wing Attribute: None ]
'Wing attribute? That means my assumptions were right.' Luis thought as the smile which was supposed to be kept inside was showing on his face.
"What are you smiling about?"
Luis had been so concentrated on his system that he didn't notice Michael walk up to him.
"What am I saying? You just evolved into a true Angel that's a very good reason to be smiling."
"Yeah," Luis said awkwardly. He didn't need to start asking him how he knew he was undergoing an evolution, Michael knew all about even more than him who was an Angel.
"I never thought an Angel would be sent down to help us although I don't understand why they would send someone who hasn't become a full Angel yet."
Luis sat up as he tried to take in everything Michael was saying.
"So tell me which Angel faction are you from?" Michael asked.
Luis knew little to nothing about Angels, so he didn't understand anything Michael was talking about.
"I'm not part of any faction."
"What do you mean?"
"I was never an Angel, to begin with."
"You mean an Angel turned you into…"
"No, I would say a book did."
"A book?" Michael said looking confused now.
Michael told him how he had become an Angel, but he didn't say anything about Asaka and just said that he fell into a hole with the book before he started seeing the changes, he also left his system out.
"That's a very strange way to become an Angel," Michael said. "So that's why you need those books."
"Yeah, and you thought I was some kind of Angel enthusiast like you," Luis said sarcastically.
"Hey watch your tongue or you won't be seeing those very important books."
"Sorry."
Michael was silent for a while as he observed their surroundings.
"What is your goal?" He asked.
"What?"
"I mean now that you somehow became an Angel. What is your goal."
Luis paused for a while as he thought of the best way to put his answer.
"There is a common evil in this world now, my goal is to eradicate it."
"If that's the case then we are on the same path and I will be willing to help you in any way possible."
[ Quest update ]
[ Second ally: Michael Cone ]
[ 30 EXP received ]
'I have even forgotten about that quest.'
[ Quest received ]
[ You have obtained two allies but that is too small for an Angel of your Caliber ]
[ Obtain ten human allies or five Angel allies ]
[ Quest Rewards ]
[ ???? ]
[ Progress ]
[ Human: 2/10 ]
[ Angel: 0/5 ]
'Another quest with a mystery reward.' Luis thought as he was already getting excited by just thinking about what the rewards could possibly be.
His safe bet was on getting humans which were the higher number, it would be hard to find up to that number of people he could trust but it wouldn't be impossible, unlike the Angels which he saw as impossible as he wasn't sure there was an Angel on earth.
"We should get going," Michael said, walking up ahead.
"How are we going to do that, we don't even have any teleporter?"
Michael turned to him with a wry smile as he pulled out a small circular device.
"Do you really think I would jump into a random teleporter without bringing this with me?"
"What's that?" Luis asked.
"A mini teleporter, the smallest teleporter ever made."
'And I was thinking of a way of sneaking into that castle to get a teleporter.'
"This teleporter doesn't have all the features of the normal one," Michael said, placing it on the floor. "So it would just take us to a random place in the area selected."
"And which area did you select?"
"The mountain of course."
A little click was heard from the teleporter as a blue light immediately covered the area.
"Let's go," Michael said, jumping into the light and Luis followed afterward.
Behind a tree not too far from where Luis and Michael had just left, the young demon who had just left the castle could be seen with a teleporter similar to that of Michael's in his hands.
He wrapped his hands around the tiny device. "I have his location now." He smiled.
