Chapter 303 Trying New Things

Luis returned to the dorm room to find Ace on his bed reading a book as usual and Dylan was still in the same position he was in when he left with Orah.

'You have to talk to that boy.' Lena said.

'Yeah but that's not happening now.' Luis replied.

"You're back." Ace said with his gaze still fixed on the book he was reading.

"Yeah," Luis said as he walked to his bed and sat there.

The Angel sat there staring at the wall with the only thoughts going through his mind being about getting stronger and evolving into an Archangel.

'Why don't you just play your game?' Lena suggested. 'You got a good amount of exp for defeating that last demon boss.'

'Yeah that was tough and it would have been way tougher if the demon could fly.' Luis replied.

He opened his inventory and pulled out his VR headset. He was about to lie down on his bed and put it on when an idea popped into his mind.

"Hey, Ace."

"Yeah." Ace replied, bringing down his book to look at Luis.

"Do you want to play demon battle with me?" Luis asked, raising the VR headset which he had gotten for him.

"I thought you would never ask." Ace said, dropping the book he was reading on his bed.

"Here," Luis said, throwing the VR headset which he easily caught.

The two lay down on their beds and put on the VR headsets at the same time as their body immediately went limp.

[ Welcome Demon Slayer ]

[ Welcome Wise Wind ]

Luis quickly opened up the ability tab and had chosen one of the elemental abilities he wanted to try out after trying the lightning ability out the last time he was here.

'I don't know how Ella does what she does with her lightning ability.' Luis thought as he clicked metal ability.

Ace had also opened up his ability tab and now he was contemplating whether to choose his normal ability which he is very familiar with or to try something new.

"Knowing what it feels like using another ability would be great." Ace said as he chose water ability over his wind ability.

Luis was really going all out on trying something new today as he didn't want to choose his usual flaming sword and become a double flaming sword wielder.

He was scrolling through the weapons looking for something that would catch his attention.

Apart from swords, there wasn't really any other weapon he could use that well, so he was going to stick to them for now.

He kept scrolling until he found a Katana blade which looked really familiar.

That was the same Katana blade Michael had used the time he was trying to help him find the source of the demons that were entering the academy.

After recalling what Michael had told him the Katana blade could do, he didn't hesitate in choosing it.

Ace on the other hand had chosen his classic scythe which didn't have any special skills.

One problem with the game was that it didn't specify between mystic weapons and ordinary weapons.

Luis was about to close the weapons tab when he spotted three tiny dots just above the screen, something he had never noticed until now.

He tapped one of the dots as another tab quickly opened up in front of him.

"Waooh," Luis said as he looked at the tab which provided him with different options of boots and he knew that some of them had to have mystical powers.

"What is it?" Ace asked, turning his gaze to the Angel.

"Reopen your weapons tab and tap the first dot above the screen," Luis said.

"Okay." Ace said as he did exactly what Luis had told him.

"Waooh." Was the word that had also escaped from his mouth on seeing the collection of boots.

Luis kept scrolling through the different types of boots until he had found one which had caught his attention.

"Speed boot." He muttered looking at the silver-colored boot which was also among one of the things Michael had told him about.

"Ace," Luis called.

"Yeah." Ace answered.

"Choose the speed boot." The Angel said.

"How did you know I was thinking about choosing it?"

Luis chose the speed boot, closed the boots tab, and tapped the second dot expecting to see another exciting variety of equipment only to see that there was nothing there.

He opened the last tab to see that it was also empty.

"Why are these ones empty?" Ace asked.

"I don't know," Luis said as he closed the entire weapons tab and turned to open up that tab for their choice of battle.

Since he had already defeated the demon boss in the six hundred demons option, it was time to move on to the seven hundred demons option.

He chose the seven hundred demon options and chose the five waves option as he thought it would be faster.

Now it was time to choose the type of terrain they were going to fight in, the only part where he decided to ask for Ace's opinion.

"The Forest looks okay." Ace said.

"Trust me, you do not want to fight these demons in there," Luis said.

"Okay, how about the beach?" Ace said pointing at the terrain which had the picture of a beach.

"Let's check it out," Luis said, choosing the terrain.

It didn't take long before the white room began to fade away until they found themselves on the beach, the terrain which they had chosen.

The terrain was really nice, given that there were a few large rocks that they could use to prevent themselves from getting hit.

"It's really nice," Luis said, looking around.

"Yeah." Ace said.

It had not even been up to a minute since the two arrived at the terrain and the demons had already started to show up all around them.

"I guess attacking from every direction is something they do from these higher levels," Luis said.

"Yeah, and holding weapons." Ace said, pointing out the different weapons the demons were holding.

"It's a good thing they are not all holding axes," Luis said.

"Huh?"

Luis didn't reply to him as he quickly sped off and dealt with some of the demons who were getting ready to start throwing fireballs at them before returning to Ace.

"How did you just do that?" Ace asked, his amazement clearly showing in his voice.

"Just think about the boots and activating their skill, that's how it works," Luis said.

Ace did just as Luis told him and it didn't take long before he had received a confirmation message.

[ Superspeed activated ]

"Waooh!" Ace exclaimed as he could feel his legs gaining rapid kinetic energy. "This is so cool."

"Let's go," Luis said as the two sped off together, dealing with the demons before they could even see them.

With the help of the boots, they were able to deal with the first wave without breaking a sweat.

"One down, four more to go." Ace said.

[ Superspeed deactivated ]

[ Cooldown time: 30 minutes ]

"This next wave won't be going away as fast as we want it to," Luis said as both of them had received the same message at the same time.
