Kye took this as his chance to escape and swam as fast as he could, even flapping his wings a little because things were clearly not going well for him. And as he was swimming away, he suddenly thought of a specific monster that he fought against days ago when he still wasn't even level 5. 'Could it be that she's the big whale of back then?' Kye thought as the blooming flower was quickly finishing to envelop her. 'Yeah, she must be. There's no other monster that had stayed alive besides her after having her eyes pierced.

'And that's also her who almost killed me,' Strangely enough, now Kye didn't want to flee anymore. No, instead, he wanted to beat her up until she died and take revenge. He had almost died if not for Aria's timely saving, and now that he saw this whale again, he wanted to kill her, and at the same time, get an insane amount of EXP.

However, there was one thing that made him think two times before acting. 'The system made a quest so that I would escape from her because, in its eyes, she's probably too strong for me. I'm sure the system thinks that I won't be able to even let scratch her body, but what if I manage to do it? What if I manage to kill her? Would I still receive the quest's reward, or would I earn something even greater than the 40,000 EXP? Or maybe since I didn't escape from her, the system won't reward me?' As this thought, the now human whale came out from the flower with what looked like a combat dress.

The combat dress was blue with what looked like white scales. It covered the entirety of her body, even her head, except for the joint to let her move freely, and the eyes so that she could see. Not that she could see a lot anyway.

She also had what looked like a spear made of ice. 'Seems like I really won't be able to scratch her,' Kye thought as the human whale swam toward him.

However, her speed seemed to have increased by half, thus quickly catching up with Kye. "Seriously leave me alone!!" Kye shouted as he stopped swimming and took his sword in his hands, ready to fight. There wasn't any point in escaping anymore since it was clear that she would have caught up with him in a few seconds. And even though the system thought that he wouldn't be able to do anything, he still believed in himself. The whale was fast, but Kye could still follow its movement. She wasn't as fast as the giant snake from last time, for example, so he was sure that he would at least be able to defend against her until someone would come and help him.

However, his first clash with her made him think otherwise. Her speed was high, but not that much either since it was easy for Kye to follow her movements. And it was, even more, the case with his angel's eyes active since he could see some fluctuation in the water which indicated that a spell was about to be fired. However, her strength was a completely different matter.

It was much higher than her speed, so much that during their first clash, the water around them got pushed back.







'*Argh*, I feel like my bones were crushed by a giant,' Kye groaned in pain as he immediately open his status page and put his reaming free stat into strength, thus having now 15 stat points in strength.

They then made a second clash, and it was now a little more bearable than earlier. Though, the difference in strength still looked abysmal. So instead of making his sword dance uselessly with her spear, he decided to dodge instead of parrying her strikes.

*Swoosh*

The woman swung her spear horizontally, which Kye dodged by ducking. Though, he didn't attack yet because he was sure that she would do something else. And he was right because ice spikes came toward him.

He dodged them by spuning on himself before making what looked like a side step underwater to dodge a vertical strike of her spear.

"Stop moving and fight like a real man!" The whale shouted at him seeing all her attempts to end him fail.

"Pff, are we angry?" Kye decided to taunt her because if it worked, then his chance of coming out from this spar alive would be higher since she wouldn't think cold headly. "You can even kill such a pitiful and harmless human? Oh my bad, this little human pierced your two eyes, haha."

Hearing such fool words coming out of his mouth, the woman slashed like a crazy person. She at the same time waved ice spikes after ice spikes, plus all the ice laser she could muster, thus indicating that Kye's little taunt had worked perfectly.

He kept dodging while sometimes sustaining injuries due to the numerous ice spell. So he made sure to dodge all her spear's strikes because if he were to be hit by one of them, he would surely die. His bones have indeed been a little crushed earlier after their two clashes, and he wasn't willing to see what could happen to him if he wasn't able to defend or par the strike.







Though, thanks to his natural regenerative ability, those injuries were quickly healed. Not a single spike managed to slow down his regeneration, even when the area was completely frozen.

And sensing that at this rate, she would never be able to end this lowly human, the woman got even angrier and new ice spells began to be fired toward Kye.

Binding vines made of ice, ice flowers that fired hundred and hundred of tiny spikes, or giant ice boulders. The woman rained down everything on Kye.

The latter this time, obviously couldn't dodge everything. He used his holy ray to destroy some vines, his sword to parry some spikes while dodging the spear's strike, and the giant boulders. However, there were just too many things to take care of and be cautious of.

There was just one time when Kye needed to dodge endlessly, and it was againt Sylvia when they spared together. However, even she wasn't at the level of this whale.

So he kept sustaining more and more injuries as time passes, slowly getting his HP at a dangerous level and getting some of his wings' feathers black. Though, he didn't even see those things because his mind was way too focused on staying alive by all means. And it wasn't by getting distracted that he would manage to do that.

And while Kye's life was at death's doors, a lot of intelligent monsters began to move toward and spectate the fight.

They all knew who Kye was now because the news that their queen had taken a liking to someone had spread very fast. However, no one tried to help him because it was obvious that their new fellow intelligent aquatic monster, aka, the whale, wanted to kill Kye. And no matter what, they cared more about their kind than for this little human who at first glance, didn't look very interesting.

***

While Kye and the whale were fighting and the other intelligent monsters had made a ring-like arena to watch them, Aria was in another meeting of hers. Though, she couldn't help but think about where was Kye right now since it shouldn't have taken that much time for the whale to get him to Aria's domain.
