My Angelic System

Aria seeing that couldn't help but think of someone, especially since Kye has the same sword as him. 'Why does he looks like his younger version so much?' She thought as she was looking at Kye from the back. He was slowly moving toward the kneeling whale. 'He doesn't have the same hair color nor eye colors, but his behavior is almost the same. Gentle with friends and ruthless with foes. It's exactly like him.

'And even though it could just be a coincidence, I don't think that it's one. He is as determined as him and ready to give his all to get stronger and protect those who he held dear to his friends. The only difference with him is that Kye is still too kind, even to those that could have harmed him in the future, whereas he never let someone that could endanger his life in the future life.

'But that's probably a good thing. I don't know how he is related to him, but Lightbringer easily tells that he is close, even though Kye doesn't know about it. He would never let his sword to someone else.

'Then his gentle and kind side surely comes from his mom. Though, I don't think it has anything to do with his human parents. Maybe she is an angel? But he is now a demon. And the chance to get offspring between an angel and a demon is extremely low. So now that it's not even something fathomable.

'But what if? What if Kye is the descendant of an extremely powerful angel and an extremely powerful demon? There's a very low possibility, but that's the only explanation for the sealed state of Lightbringer and his halo which is not your typical halo.

'*Sigh* I guess only the future will tell us about it. I don't know how he could still be a human if his parents aren't, but we never know. Maybe in the future, he will slowly acquire demonic energy. I just hope he won't suffer from it because holy and demonic energy doesn't bide well together. Though, it's not like Kye is your typical angel either. So who knows? Everything's possible.'

Her thought process was so fast that Kye just arrived in front of the whale. The latter stared at her coldly, sending a shiver down her spine. If a stare could pierce someone's soul, then she would have already died.

The whale, even though couldn't accept her death was obliged to. She couldn't do anything, especially now that probably every monster in Aria's territory will see her as an enemy and Kye as a friend. Not to add that he had protected them, even though it was clear that they were hostile to him since the beginning.

However, she couldn't do anything about it. She went against her queen's order, and that was the only outcome of disobeying it. Though, she had difficulties accepting dying at the hands of the one she wanted to kill.

Nonetheless, she couldn't do anything now, so she just lowered her head and waited for her time to come. It wasn't as if Kye would suddenly decide to save her, after all. It was reflecting in his eyes that he wouldn't show mercy.

And just like this, she saw her body kneeling but upside down as if her head had been decapitated. And it was exactly what happened.

Kye cut her head to give her a painless death. He indeed wanted to kill her, but he wasn't monstrous enough to torture her with pain. He was neither ready to do that, yet, nor was he willing to.

She was a brave combatant, and he wanted to give her a clean death, even though he knew he was weaker than her in every aspect.

And once her body and head began to drift apart, Kye received his system notifications.

[You killed a special rank Balena, +15,000 EXP]

[Quest completed]

[Rewards are being re-calculated due to the host managing to kill his predator]

[Please wait]

Kye was a little perplexed seeing that because he expected the reward of the quest to come immediately. However, while it seems simple to give the EXP rewarded or even make him level up instantly, it seems to be another matter when it comes to more physical rewards like his sword and halo for example.

Nonetheless, in the corner of his mind, he couldn't help but smile. After all, if he were to indeed become an angel when he would reach level 10, then he was sure at a hundred percent that he would have to bear excruciating pain because his body would change.

As Aria said last time, the holy energy inside his body wasn't stable, so just he would surely suffer because of that. Then his body would surely change as well to be able to store more power.

Though, it was only his theory for now. He could as well don't suffer at all, which he wasn't very confident about that since the system seemed to like making him suffer. 'I just hope my holy sword won't get bigger,' He blushed from his ears thinking that.

While he was thinking and staring at the air blankly from an outside point of view, Aria dismissed everyone. However, not without a warning. If something like this was to happen again, they wouldn't come out of it alive. Hearing that, everyone took a liking to Kye because without him, even though they wouldn't have died, they would have surely lost a limb or two, or maybe even worse.

So once everyone was gone, Aria slowly approached Kye from behind who was still looking blankly in mid-air. "Are you alright Kye?"

"Uh? Oh yeah, why wouldn't I be?" He smiled.

"I mean, you still killed someone with a human form. Isn't it a little bit traumatizing?"

Kye thinks for a moment before answering. "It is a little. But I need to get used to it anyway. I'm sure that later, monsters won't be my only enemies. Humans would probably be even more scary and cunning than them," Kye couldn't tell her that he couldn't care less about his action because of the system's notification. If he were to be completely honest, then he had forgotten about what he did the moment the first window appeared in his retina.

"*Sigh*. Seriously, even a child has to worry about his potential enemies. The world has changed too much."

"What do you mean a child?" Kye pouted. Though, he looked cuter than anything. "I'm a grown-up man."

"Haha, yeah that's true that's true," Aria chuckled lightly hearing him and seeing his expression. "It's true that your holy sword could have a tale on its own."

"Wh-..." Kye didn't even get the chance to blush and hide his body part where his holy sword resides in that he felt an immense pressure upon him. It was as if Aria had taken her Leviathan form. It made him breathless, slowly losing the color on his face.

However, Aria was still by his side. But with a visible frown on her face. She even clicked her tongue in pure annoyance at what was happening.

"What's happ-ening?" Kye managed to say, amidst a lot of difficulties.
