Chapter 98: Gain: Part 2
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Time indeed passed much more slowly there than in reality, but even that had a limit .

Lin Sheng had found the techniques to use his holy powers, but what confounded him was the information that he had gotten . It categorized his current stage as a basic accumulative stage .

At this stage, there were no techniques to be used, as the seed of holy power had yet to give birth to a holy power that is flowing . That meant it was not usable and all he could do was wait .

Of course, if he was lucky, he could unleash his holy powers given time, but that was simply an unleashing of holy power after a period of accumulation, not some sort of ability or talent .

It was simply a matter of preparation .

A Level 3 paladin, aside from some boost to his body and strength through the holy power, he still would need to rely on the Ashen Seal to fight .

That was because, at that stage, the holy power was accumulating to strengthen his physical attributes .

While the Furious Howl seal’s ability, based on what Lin Sheng had gleaned from the information he got, was a sound-based howl that could flinch an opponent for a short period of time and knock them unconscious .

If it is trained to the highest level, a howl could even shock any weak foes to death .

“Isn’t this something like Piercing Howl?”

The Ashen Seal would need plenty of time from meditation to the formation of the power . And when he meditated for the first time, it took him many days of meditation to succeed .

Thus it was pretty much impossible for him to use that ability in the near future .

He then forgo any further testing and started checking his body .

His scale mail was still pretty much intact, and only a wooden shield was on his hand . So going out to face the gray angel was probably impossible .

As for summoning the Sacred Shield Tyrant, he had given it a quick try, and found out that there was no reaction at all . It seemed like the summoned being did not even exist inside him, and could not be summoned out in the dream .

“Seems like I have to depend on myself . ”

Lin Sheng did not dither, he still had one more thing to test out; a thought that he had before .

“I have already awakened the holy power, and my body is stronger than before . With the shield, I can still try to fight that gray angel, and see if I can find an opportunity to take it out!”

Lin Sheng still remembered that insane speed and power the angel had .

And his only weapon, the great sword was lost during that encounter .

As he lifted his shield, he slowly walked towards the bedroom door .

The hole which he had come through was still there . The hall outside was bright because light shone in from the windows of the sidewall .

Lin Sheng placed his head near the hole and peeked out .

“There’s day and night cycle over here?” A thought struck him, as he continued to investigate the gray angel’s location .

The odd rock pillar still stood in the middle of the hall, and on it was the gray angel in its original state .

It was just the same as last time . A spear in one hand, and a shield in another . Its wings expanded wide, unmoving .

Lin Sheng started thinking as he squatted by the hole . “I probably won’t be able to beat it in terms of speed and strength . While I have already broken through Level 3, and my holy powers have awakened, but the strengthening is not instantaneous and would need time . At this juncture, I’m probably not much stronger than I was before . ”

So his conclusion was, he was still no match .

“I need to come up with some strategies . ”

Lin Sheng was not afraid of challenges, just like when he faced an ancient tome in a language that he did not understand .

There was no Google, no dictionaries, he only had himself to match the pictures, words and sentence structure and figure it out himself .

And he had managed to persevere through that, so this was nothing .

After some thinking, he finally had an idea . He took up his shield, as he squatted down carefully, facing the hole .

And then…

*Whoosh!*

He dashed forward, through the hole and into the hall .

*Crack!*

The gray angel shuddered as it quickly roused to motion . However, Lin Sheng rolled on the ground, grabbed the massive twin-edge blade and threw it violently against the gray angel .

The massive blade spun under the massive kinetic energy into a flying razor and smashed against the angel’s chest .

Lin Sheng did not even bother looking as he turned around and dove into the hole again .

The angel had only started moving then, and could not react in time before the blade struck its chest

*Thump!*

A small about of broken debris fell from its body .

A rent the size of a walnut appeared on the gray angel’s chest . It was however still emotionless, and seeing Lin Sheng diving into the hole, it stopped moving and returned to the pillar .

And very soon the gray angel returned to its original position as if nothing had happened .

The heavy blade rebounded against the wall and after a few spins, fell about ten meters away from Lin Sheng .

And calm returned to the hall .

Lin Sheng’s face too was calm behind the hole .

“It worked! I never thought that’ll work . ” Through the hole, he saw the rent on the side of the gray angel’s chest .

“I did not judge the rebound well enough, the sword is quite far away…” Lin Sheng looked around and there were no other weapons near him . Retrieving the weapon was his only choice .

“Again!”

After a short rest, and adjusting his status, he darted out again .

This time, he counted the gray angel’s activation time .

Two rolls, picking up the sword, and returning to the hole took four seconds . While the gray angel’s activation time was about three seconds .

As he did not have a watch, his timing was not too accurate, but as long as he had a rough timing, it was fine .

*Whoosh!*

Lin Sheng dove through the hole and brought the sword back with him .

He was not used to his surroundings earlier, but once he had a good grasp of his surroundings, things became easier .

“Again!”

Lin Sheng rolled out again .

*Bam!*

The sword flew out, smashing a new rent before bouncing back onto the ground .

Lin Sheng then rolled back, and out again to pick up the sword .

As he repeated the motion, Lin Sheng was getting more and more accustomed to it . He was now better at grasping the activation trigger of the gray angel .

And slowly, countless rents started appearing on the gray angel’s body .

Most of it was on the chest and next to the wings . At first, Lin Sheng had placed to simply grind down the gray angel, but soon found the rock on its chest a little too thick, so he went for the wings instead .

As soon as the gray angel loses its ability of flight, that will give him an even bigger window of opportunity .

And as time passed, the massive blade flew out and was repeatedly retrieved .

Lin Sheng was at the point where his hand was feeling numb and sore, after pitting against the gray angel for fifty-seven times .

And finally, it was at its limits .

Its chest like was like porcelain that was close to shattering, its wings had long been clipped, its right arm was broken, and its legs were gone .

Yet, Lin Sheng still did not face it head-on . He repeated the process another ten times .

*Bam!*

A sudden thud rang .

And finally, the gray angel fell wordlessly against the ground as its head broke apart from the body and shattered into countless pieces .

Even before its demise, it did not show any emotions .

Yet, Lin Sheng felt sad for it .

It was a powerful killing machine, and if someone was controlling it, even with ten Lin Shengs, its strength and speed were still beyond his ability to fight against .

The statue had simply allowed itself to be pelted by Lin Sheng, and even that took him about sixty-odd strikes to totally kill it . Each strike was done using full force .

“Such a waste…”

And after waiting for a few minutes, a black line flew over and entered Lin Sheng’s chest .

“Ugh…”

He frowned slightly as he held his head .

“This time it’s rather simple, just memories about flight and combat . ” He quickly browsed through the memories and found that the angel was based on a very swift bird .

Its memories were all about flying across mountains and trees without a shred of intelligence .

“Well, better than nothing . ” Lin Sheng finally got out of the hole and to the gray angel’s side .

He squatted down and started to search the ruined statue . He found nothing but gray rocks . There were no cores or any control mechanisms like those in the legends .
