Moby's eyes grew extremely wide, his mouth-watering as a barrage of notifications bigger than any other he had ever seen before popped up in his field of vision.

He hadn't bothered to check the strength level of any of the 60 downed students so he assumed that they were all weak D or E rank that gave trash XP. But when he checked the notifications, he was sorely mistaken as he managed to spot a few C and even B rank students in their mix, something that he did not at all expect.

That was probably why Nags was so angry at him for killing them and why he was so adamant about protecting them. Some of them were probably potential high ranking members of the gang. And now since they were all dead, it dealt a massive blow to them as they now needed to find more members.

'Damn, those strings of Ray's are that strong?' Moby thought, not even suppressing his inner joy from leaking out.

Moby knew that he saw at least 10 level up notifications pop up but he did not bother counting them as he would find out how many times he levelled up when he opened his status screen. Despite all the good that was happening, he still remembered that he was in the middle of a fight and that he had to assign his stat points quickly before his opponent inevitably strikes, forcing him to tell Avilia to assign his stat points for him just like he had done during his mind trial.

When he opened up his status screen, he was unable to believe his own eyes. His window was not light blue like he had always remembered it, it was now a shadowy pitch-black with glowing white text on top of it, his stats and power level that were not white but red always were changing up and down, most likely attributed to his opponent's emotions at the time.

This made Moby smile as, from what he was observing and feeling, his opponent was not at all happy with what he had done as an even greater amount of power began to enter his body. But, that also served to tell him that he should hurry up before his opponent snaps and attacks.

However, that was not the most shocking part of it all… What truly surprised him was the fact that he levelled up a total of 15 times, bringing him up to level 65. In his mind, he knew that 1 level up = 10 stat points. So, in theory, he should have only received 150 stat points. But, when he checked the stat points he had available to distribute, it read,

[ Available Points to distribute: 300 ]

That was double the amount he had expected. That could only mean one or two things, that his potential of absorbing negative energy in his sin mode was greater than that of his base, or that it must have been Avilia's doing. And, to him, both theories seemed equally plausible. Either way, he was more than satisfied, it didn't matter how it happened since it was only the result that was important.

Yet, he still added that to the list of things he wanted to ask Avilia after the fight was over. And, Avilia who had probably been listening to Moby's thoughts knew and understood that as well which was why she didn't interject to explain as it would have been both a distraction and a waste of time.

Although Moby was extremely low on time, he took a deep breath to calm himself as he began to decide where he should assign his stat points for the best chance at victory.

Part of him really wanted to assign most of his stats into mind. But, in his current situation, that would have only been reckless and extremely risky since he had no clue what he would get and if it would even be helpful in defeating his opponent. And from how his luck was going today, he was not at all willing to take the risk.

This left him with his 4 main stats. And, after careful thinking, he decided to assign 100 points to agility, 75 to strength, 75 to intelligence, and 50 to endurance.

He decided to assign more stats in agility than any other stats due to the fact that the agility stat was the only one not being boosted by his sin mode due to the fact that his opponent was not at all feeling any fear.

After assigning his stat points, his new total power level in addition to his sin mode managed to even break the S rank threshold, shifting and sitting around 41,000. Yet, although he was able to make the power difference a little bit less, he was still far off from his opponent's power level that was now at around 45,000, also changing probably depending on how much energy he drew from his inner spirit.

As Moby closed his menu, he was greeted by a yellow disk flying straight to his head that he managed to dodge due to his future sight by flexing his neck to the left as it still managed to graze and cut his cheek, making blood flow out of it.

In the next instance, he saw something that he did not at all expect to see…

He saw Nags's hysterical face, floating in the air a good few meters in front of him, standing on a similar disk to the one he just dodged as he used it to surf in the middle of the air, giving him the ability to fly.

"Are you trying to make a mockery out of me!? Do you not care about your survival or do you think that you don't need that energy to defeat me!? Do you have any idea who it is your fucking with!?" Nags roared, forming two small disk-like barriers that he prepared to throw at Moby.

"What happened to that calm and cool demeanour of yours? Are you scared?" Moby teased, trying to even further enrage and annoy him.

"Keep running your mouth… Let's see how much you'll be talking when you're on the ground begging for mercy…" Nags retorted with a grin, throwing the 2 disks out of his hand, making them speed towards Moby.

Moby felt like he would have a hard time dodging in the air with his wings that he was not fully used to flying with so he decided to counter his attacks with attacks of his own.

From Moby's right hand he created a purple shard of ice and from his left, he created a ball of demon energy. He wanted to test out his attack potency against that of his opponent and this was the easiest way to do it.

As he launched both attacks, they both managed to hit their mark, however to his surprise, they both seemed ineffective, cracking the disks yet not destroying them as they continued to speed towards him with the same momentum as before.

Moby furrowed his brows and pulled out his 2 katanas from his inventory, slashing down towards both disks, destroying them easily due to their already damaged state.

'I seem to be at a disadvantage from long-range…' Moby thought, now knowing exactly what he had to do.

Nags created many more disks from both hands and began to launch them straight at Moby like a machine gun.

Moby's eyes turned into deadly slits as he tightly grasped both of his katana's, flying straight at the disks ahead in order to reach Nags's location.

As the disks drew near, he activated his freezing time skill, allowing him to better see and dodge the disks due to them slowing down.

In less than graceful moves and maneuvers, Moby managed to just barely dodge all of the incoming disks, only suffering minor injuries through his armour and on his wings. Luckily for him, all of the attacks seemed linear and did not curve or move in mid-air, making them far easier to dodge.

When he reached Nags's location, who was looking slightly worried with sweat running down his face, he lifted both of his katanas up, right above his head infusing them with as much power as he could, using his air steps to jump off the air giving him an even greater boost in momentum and strength.

Then, with all the power he could muster, he swung down towards Nags who was directly under him, a smile on his face as he was confident in his victory.

And, just like he expected, Nags created a yellow, yet duller looking barrier right before he struck, blocking his attack, making it slightly glow.

As the barrier began forming cracks, the more its shine grew stronger. However, in the end, the barrier was too weak to block his attack, it felt like nothing more than really hard glass in comparison to Moby's slash, causing it to smash into a million pieces.

However, unlike what he expected, his attack didn't continue through and strike Nags head-on, he was instead blown far away from Nags's location by a sudden energy pulse, almost exactly to where he had started.

It was almost like the power of his attack was converted into knock-back and sent right back towards him, which was exactly what happened since it was the ability of one of Nags's special shields, the knockback shield.

As Moby staggered and struggled to regain his balance due to his poor flying skills, he felt a sudden, sharp, piercing pain hit him from the back of his head. That pain was followed by several similar feelings that attacked him everywhere on his body, from his back, head, legs, shoulders, and wings, making him grunt and stagger.

The pain was excruciating yet it wasn't something that he couldn't handle as he felt and endured much more in his past, specifically during his evolution. He felt like he was cut by several razor blades.

He could barely feel any of his limbs that were now all dripping in blood, making him feel extremely weak, as he stared in front of him only to see a few disks flying and disappearing in thin air making him understand exactly what happened, gritting his teeth as he struggled to stay flying with his injured wings.
