Chapter 9: Chapter 9
How long did it take? Issei was standing on top of a large corpse of an Ice Golem... He had taken down how many mobs?
He lost count after the 100th... Staying in this area for the past ten hours, Issei was only getting bored at one shotting these golems. He had been here alone... Obtaining random rewards from the drops after killing these mobs, such as bronze coins and he only obtained one titanite shard from killing all these monsters.
Would he call this grinding session a success?
After killing so many enemies, the system had registered everything in the area as being a joke... He had only leveled up four times after killing so many critters for ten hours.
---------------------------
Leaving Dungeon:
Total time within dungeon: 10 hours 23 minutes
Loot obtained: One titanite shard
+103 bronze coins → 1 silver coin and 3 bronze coins
---------------------------
Sitting down on his bed, Issei had finally arrived after obtaining all his loot. Now... Issei had a mission today. He was going to kill that bitch... No matter what it took.
Standing back up, Issei knew that his father left for work again... Leaving his mother to be the one in the house. But he knew at this time, she would usually take a long nap from all the work she would put in for his father and himself.
Walking out of the house, Issei would begin his approach to the abandoned church. Nothing was going to stop him...
Upon arriving at the abandoned church... Issei was met with the door already being opened... Walking into the church, Issei noticed a presence.

---------------------------
His speed was superior to Issei's... That would pose a problem.
"Would you look at that? Someone decided that today would be their last day." Freed spoke while having his tongue out while holding his guns in his hands. "I wonder... How many bullets-"
Issei jumped straight towards Freed... Leaping into the air while the crazed man continued speaking, Issei reeled his Great Sword back and slammed it straight into the ground. Freed was able to narrowly dodge the attack, but the sheer strength of Issei's blow caused so much collateral damage that the entire building collapsed. The entire building landed on top of the two, burying the two in rubble.
Freed coughed through the smoke while getting himself free from the rubble. He looked straight at the place where Issei stood, gritting his teeth while pointing his gun straight at Issei. "You really just pissed me off!"
Clenching his sword, Issei knew that he couldn't move as fast as Freed while carrying his Great Sword with him... Throwing his sword at Freed as fast as possible, his sword pierced straight through the air zooming right through Freed. Cutting his arm straight off while landing on the ground behind Freed, Issei stayed silent throughout the entire encounter. "WHAT THE FUCK!"
Issei didn't show any hesitation, rushing straight at Freed while he was holding onto his... well, what used to be his arm. Grabbing his head and ripping it straight off Freed's body... Issei could only see red... Anyone that affiliated with Raynare would see the worst in him.
With him destroying the entire building and the floor that they used to stand on, Issei noticed that there was a secret pathway that led downstairs. Walking towards the stairs... Issei felt an odd chilling feeling coming from the ground below. Walking straight downstairs after retrieving his weapon, Issei looked down to see blood... seeping downstairs.
Upon making it down stairs, Issei was met with a room filled with Fallen Angels... Not a single one looked like Raynare... But there was one more thing that Issei noticed. In the middle of the room... There was a corpse...
The corpse seemed to be fresh... With her blonde hair, with her soulless eyes, with her withering clothing, but nothing prepared Issei for what he saw on the girl's face. The pure frightened expression, the pure anguish, the pure pain that he could feel from the corpse... He could see the dried tear marks going down her face...
"Would you look at that... Another human wants to play." One of the Fallen Angels spoke, causing for the others, probably a dozen of them, to begin laughing as well. Issei ignored them... The haunting sight... He would never forget this, but the worst thing about this was...
She wasn't coming back...
Issei clenched his teeth... his anger was beginning to take control. He didn't even know the woman... he shouldn't care... Yet, the anger wasn't coming from the death of the woman mostly... It was coming from the fact that he was too late to save someone from suffering the same fate as him... In actuality, this woman probably suffered far worse than him...
Gritting his teeth...
"I don't know why Raynare had us stay here to clean this mess while she left to showcase her new equipment to Lord Azazel."
His anger exploded upon hearing that... That woman killed another person... That woman... No, that monster is still on the loose doing this to innocent people. His anger was beginning to reach new levels... The same white glow was beginning to calm him down, but the increasing anger he felt was canceling out the effects of the glow.
All hell was going to break loose...
His Great Sword began glowing... His body began moving on its own. Walking towards the group of Fallen Angels, Issei was left with only one thought...
Kill all those in the area...

Ignoring the message, Issei's sword began glowing a bright blueish-white color. The Fallen Angels slowly began moving their way towards Issei.
"Hey... How about one of us just go and end him?" One of the Fallen Angels spoke.
One of them did dive straight towards Issei, but as the Fallen Angel came into contact with Issei, they exploded. Issei had sliced the Fallen Angel in half and killed them in a single second.
Another Fallen Angel rushed towards him, they met the same fate...
Walking at a constant rate, Issei could only keep his emotionless gaze on the corpse of the girl. She didn't deserve this... He didn't deserve what happened to him... They didn't deserve this...
In a scream of anger, Issei reeled back his sword... With the sword now glowing a bright light, the Fallen Angels formed their light spears to try and defeat Issei in one move. However, what they didn't notice was just the sheer magnitude of power Issei held within his sword.
*BOOOOOOM*
A single explosion was all that could be described... It was as if a minuscule star at imploded in the middle of the basement. Blasting all nearby objects, melting the very flesh of the Fallen Angels that dared to be with him... Issei watched through his own explosion of the many screams, the terror that he caused, the genocide that he created with one move...
The entire ceiling collapsed onto him once more... Nothing was left... Not even the corpse of the girl... Issei could only sit down in the middle of the room... He had killed all the dozen of Fallen Angels in the area... With his burnt arms from his own explosion... Issei could only watch as the fire that he created with his explosion continued burning... flowing into the sky...
"I will... get you..." The only words he needed to say...

Issei looked straight up into the sky and sighed...
He was going to relax for the rest of the day.

He was already becoming quite powerful... his biggest attributes were his strength and his health...
His agility was already becoming far too weak compared to his other stats... he would need to focus on it.
In terms of stats... he matched someone who was, without equipment, five to ten levels higher than him. That made him more secure with fighting against some of the devils... if they messed with him.
