Level Up in Earth Evolution

Chapter 227: Crushing Skyler

"Holy Slash!" Diablo shouted, slashing his sword at the incoming violet flame wave.

The flame retreated where his sword touched, as if facing its nemesis.

But Diablo wasn't happy at all because the flame wave was just bait; the real attack was coming from Skyler, who slashed his sword at him with extremely fast speed.

However, Diablo wasn't to be outdone and responded with speed, defending against his attacks.

*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*

The sounds of sword collision echoed in front of the church residence gate as scorching heat waves burned the ground.

The fight looked like they were par with each other, but a person with knowledge could see Diablo was at a disadvantage and had to use healing skills frequently.

The main reason Diablo was able to fight head-on was because of his MP, unlike Skyler, who was solely relaying on the buff of Violet Inferno Field as his MP was already depleted.

This was the reason why the fight was in stalemate; however, it wouldn't last long as Skyler was recovering his MP rapidly because of the Violet Inferno Field buff and soon will be able to use skills.

It's not like Diablo can't fight him, but he had to take the original identity into consideration, and because of this, he was limited to a few skills.

Hence the reason why he was struggling to fight him.

'I should learn more skills, if not it will be difficult to hide my identity,' Diablo thought to himself and suddenly got aggressive with attacks, not caring about some small injuries.

The reason was that his main body learned two skills: Violet Inferno Slash and Violet Inferno Field for the 'Warrior' main class.

Both skills were 'A' grade and were at level 58.

The skills were divided into seven grades: Basic, Advanced, Mastery, A, S, SS, and SSS.

There were also exceptions like - Special Class Skill, Extra Skill, Inherited Skill, and more.

However, it didn't affect Li Wei's happiness, as 'A' grade skills were something top in the Elmoral and Celestria worlds.

Not to mention, 'A' grade skills can be leveled up to 160, which was quite crucial when fighting level 250 entities.

However, Li Wei became a little depressed when he thought of leveling up the skill.

'I can't level up this skill beyond 90,' he complained in his heart as his class was stuck at grade 'C'.

If he wanted to level up the skill beyond 90, then he needed to upgrade his class further by completing the class quest.

However, his class quest was too difficult, which made his mouth twitch in irritation.

'Anyway, I should think about this later,' he thought, feeling depressed and focused on the fight below, where Diablo's clothes were already burned off.

Of course, he made sure to protect private clothes in the area down there; if not, it would be too awkward to fight naked.

Nevertheless, the current Diablo was in an embarrassed situation as Skyler's attack came with an intense violet flame, burning his skin red.

If not for the endurance, the skin would've been burnt.

Li Wei observed everything with a nod, feeling quite satisfied with his skills, and decided to end the fight as the Arcane Shield was about to break.

Skyler also had the same thoughts after noticing the shield filled with cracks.

He didn't hesitate further and channeled his recovered MP.

"Knights Fury!" he chanted as his eyes turned red, his strength increasing by leaps and bounds for a temporary time.

However, Diablo wasn't afraid, and with a smile, he sprinted towards him.

'Courting death!' Skyler thought as he also sprinted with all strength, deciding to kill him with a single strike.

"Voilet Inferno Slash!" he shouted, slashing his sword, which was covered with terrifying violet flames, but this time the flame didn't spread out and condensed around the sword with destructive power.

If someone came into contact with these flames, they would definitely die unless they were above level 80 and using defensive skills.

Diablo could feel this too; however, he didn't care at all and closed on Skyler with a faint smile as he stored the royal sword in his item box.

To anyone watching this, his action represented courting death, and actually, he was really planning to court death.

Alessia, who was observing him, saw through his thoughts and panicked.

'Oh no, he really is planning to die!' she screamed in her mind as she saw him preparing for skill.

Clearly, Diablo was planning to sacrifice himself for injuring Skyler heavily.

Knowing this, she couldn't sit still, but before she could do anything, the old geezer suddenly arrived in the sky.

"Divine Shield!" he shouted with a deep voice, casting a protective shield on Diablo.

Skyler, who was about to succeed, became stunned at his involvement and soon became indignant.

"You damned old man! How could you help a criminal?" he roared with intense anger, as he knew failing to kill Diablo would land him in trouble.

However, his roars were useless as a shield formed on Diablo's body, stopping his Violet Inferno Slash, which was only a few centimetres away from his neck.

"Arghh, You bullishit old man!" Skyler roared with madness as he felt his merits and money flying away.

He didn't even care about Diablo, who was looking at him with a creepy smile.

Diablo knew this was the opportunity given by the gods. So how could he let go.

"Mr. Knight, being sad because you lost in greed is wrong,"

"Because of this, I Diablo will allow you to be sad in pain," he conveyed like some holy teaching, and without hesitation, used the 'Swift Kick' skill with 90,000 MP.

The kick was swift and fast, reaching Skyler's crotch before he could shout in anger.

*Crunch!*

A weird sound echoed in front of the church residence gate as Diablo's kick landed on Skyler's crotch, deforming it completely with his metal armor.

His condition was even worse than the previous knight, as metal shards directly penetrated his bones and everything down there, along with two eggs.

"Arghhhh!" Skyler screamed like a butchered pig as he was sent flying by kick, before crashing into the gate of the church residence which broke some of his bones again.

Watching Skyler like this, every man felt shivers down their spines and hurriedly covered their chilly third legs.

Some of them couldn't even bear to look at Skyler, who fainted from anger and pain, while his blood flowed like a river from his crotch area.

Even old Geezer, who was unhappy with royal knights, felt it was too much.

However, he ignored him, and glanced at Diablo with a frosty look.

"Diablo, you are too arrogant if you think you can do whatever you want in the city!" he stated coldly while sealing the space to stop him from escaping.
