Chapter 155 Playing Online

"Seeing a little white aura on her doesn't necessarily mean she's a Guardian Angel," Michael said.

Luis had told him about his encounter with Nova and in order to avoid feeling awkward, he skipped the details and just jumped straight to the main point.

"What do you mean?" Luis asked.

"Our abilities were granted to us by crystals given to us by an Angel." Michael began his explanation.

"These abilities aren't originally ours and whenever we use those abilities we release certain auras that may resemble Angel auras."

'How does he know all these when he doesn't even have aura vision?' Luis thought.

'He's read quite a lot of his books.' Lena said.

'Whose books?' Luis asked.

'I meant his books, the ones in his house.'

Luis didn't reply to her as he returned his attention to Michael.

"So you're saying the aura I saw had to do with her ability," Luis said.

"Yes, if she was really a guardian Angel the aura would be all over her body unless…"

"She was suppressing her aura," Orah said.

Luis turned to look at the young demon who had made quite a valid point before turning back to Michael.

"Let's just pretend we don't know anything about her yet, I'm going to run some investigations and try to figure out who this Nova really is," Michael said and turned to walk away.

With Michael walking back to his office Luis turned to face his friends.

"I think it's time to do the explaining you were supposed to do this morning," Dylan said with his hands folded.

"You want me to explain that here," Luis said as his gaze turned to Ella who was unaware of what they were talking about.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ella asked immediately after she noticed the strange behavior between the boys. "And what are you guys talking about?"

"Let Luis explain," Dylan said.

Luis looked at the demanding face of Ella and Dylan and at Orah who looked uninterested in the whole and then looked back to see that Michael had already entered his office.

"I think I forgot to tell Michael something." He said and without waiting to listen to what Dylan was about to say, he rushed up the little stairs and slammed the door shut.

"What was that all about?" Michael asked.

Luis turned to see Michael standing near his desk while adjusting something on his watch.

"Could you please teleport me to your lab or the library?" Luis asked.

Michael stared at him for a while before saying. "Sure, that's where I'm going now."

Luis slowly walked closer to him and placed his hands on his arm immediately he touched his arm, Michael pushed a button on his watch and they were both covered by white light.

The white light appeared in Michael's underground lab and when it cleared Michael and Luis could be seen.

"Hello Michael, hello Luis," Nika said.

"Hi, Nika," Michael said as he quickly walked to his table where the demonic sword Luis gave him was lying. "Bring up my tool table."

Just like he commanded, a table filled with tools rose from the ground and was now close to the other table.

"What are you doing?" Luis asked as his eyes were fixed on the sword.

Michael walked to the side of the room where there was a rectangular-shaped glass bowl, he lifted the thing and brought it to his table.

"I'm trying to see if I can replicate the skills of this sword on a weapon that I have been working on for quite a while now."

Luis looked closer at the rectangular glass bow to see that it was filled with a green chemical.

"You're trying to create another demonic weapon."

Judging by the way Luis said this Michael knew he wasn't excited or happy about what he was doing.

"It's not really going to be a demonic weapon because all I need is a little bit of dark magic from the sword," Michael said as he grabbed a throng with which he used to pick the sword up by its blade.

Luis watched closely as Michael slowly lowered the sword into the bowl and when the sword got closer to the surface of the liquid something magnificent happened.

It looked like a trick but it was real, the red aura was escaping from the sword and was entering the liquid and immediately the first set of auras were all in the liquid Michael quickly pulled the sword out and dropped it on the table.

"What was that?" Luis asked.

"That is absorbic acid," Michael said, pointing at the liquid which was slightly purple now. "It can absorb energy from anything once the thing gets really close to it."

"It absorbs energy?" Luis said, looking at his hands.

"From everything that comes close to it and it won't stop absorbing until all the energy is removed or the object is removed," Michael said.

"What are you going to use it for now?" Luis asked.

"I've already told you, I'm going to use it on something I've been working on," Michael said. "Nika please take me down."

"I'll be back in a few minutes," Michael said as he slowly descended to the ground.

"What am I supposed to do now?" Luis asked.

"You could play with that VR headset," Michael said before he disappeared into the ground and the floor closed up.

"VR headset," Luis said as he turned back to see the VR headsets on top of the small cupboard beside him.

"A little fight and a few exps won't hurt," Luis said as he picked up one of the headsets which was black with a green design.

He looked for a nice spot in the room and slowly laid down before putting the headsets on. He immediately found himself in a completely white space.

[ Welcome User ]

[ Please choose your gaming mode ]

[ Online/Offline ]

'I didn't see that the first time I used this.' Luis thought.

He really didn't know what was meant by online or offline so he decided to choose the first option.

[ You have chosen online ]

[ Please proceed to enter your user name and create your avatar ]

Luis stepped at the blank space and virtual keyboard which had suddenly appeared before him.

"I need to enter a name." He muttered.

'Do you think I should use my real name, Lena?'

'In situations like this, I would recommend you use a nickname.' Lena said.

"A nickname," Luis said as he began to think of which name to use.

After thinking about it for a while he stretched his hands towards the keyboard and typed in the name.

[ Please confirm Demon Slayer as your chosen username ]

'Demon Slayer.' Lena said with a tone of disapproval but Luis didn't pay any attention to it as he clicked the confirm button.

[ Proceed to create your avatar ]

A rotating image of himself was immediately displayed in front of him with editing options by the side. There was an option for hair color, shape, and style, the options for modification also applied to every part of his body.

There was also an option for changing clothing.

Luis proceeded to change his color by turning it slightly golden brown, then he made the little strand of hair covering his right eyebrow stretch to the extent that it was slightly covering his right eye.

He didn't change his uniform but he did add a few designs to it, red lines were now running down the edges of his uniform and he now had a red wing as his badge.

He wasn't quite familiar with the game and this was the best he could do for now. After he was satisfied with his avatar he clicked the confirm button and the avatar was immediately replicated on him.

"This is so cool," Luis said as he looked at his uniform and touched his hair.

[ Please choose a weapon ]

The option for weapons came up and Luis didn't waste time picking his favorite flaming sword which immediately appeared in his hand.

[ Please choose a battle type ]

,m Luis wanted to go through the type of battles in the list but he had mistakenly tapped the random option which was the first option in the list.

[ Sending you to a random battleground ]

"Huh."

The Angel soon found himself in a random battleground just like the system had said, it was a rocky terrain and just ahead of him two people were battling a lot of demons.

"Who is that?" One of the guys who had a black mask asked after he had stabbed a demon with his spear.

Luis didn't move as he watched the two deal with about fifty demons that were all around them.

"Look out!" The other guy screamed.

Luis was immediately startled as he quickly turned and carelessly slashed his sword at the demon that had almost pounced on him.

The demon was slashed into two but that wasn't the end as Luis couldn't even look at the demon he had killed, his gaze was kept straight.

Demons numbering up to five hundred were quickly approaching him and the terrifying thing about them was that they were all armed.

This wasn't the real world but the sight was still terrifying.
