Chapter 80: The Angel’s Wrath and Endless Death

Ryo soared through the skies, his crimson eyes narrowing as the system's voice echoed in his mind.

[DANGER! DANGER! ENEMY DETECTED!]

His gaze locked onto a radiant figure hovering ominously above the lands of Eldoria. The being's pristine white wings stretched wide, an ethereal glow emanating from his body. His golden eyes burned with fury as he bellowed,

"How dare you imprison me here…"

Ryo failed to catch the last word, but his instincts screamed danger. The sheer pressure radiating from the angel sent waves of power crashing against the land, creating ripples in the very fabric of reality. Ryo clenched his fists—this was unlike any foe he had encountered before.

The angel shot forward, streaking across the sky toward Eldoria like a meteor.

"No!" Ryo gritted his teeth, wings bursting from his back as he surged toward the entity, desperate to intercept him.

He struck, channeling his Bloodflame Mastery into a spear of burning crimson energy. But the angel barely acknowledged the attack, raising a single hand. An invisible force struck Ryo, tearing through his body like an unstoppable blade.

[You have died. Activating Limitless Regression…]

The world went dark.

The next moment, Ryo found himself back in front of his fiancées—Selena, Seyra, Ai, Lilith, Lyra, and Hida. Their expressions ranged from shock to concern.

Before he could react, the student council president appeared, urgency in his voice. "Lord Ryo—"

"Alright, I get it." Ryo cut him off, rubbing his temples. "I'll ensure the students' safety."

Without another word, he launched into the sky, speeding toward the battle he had already lost once.

As he neared the battlefield, the earth trembled violently. An earthquake split the ground as the angel emerged from his former prison. His radiant wings illuminated the area as he exhaled, shaking his head.

"This world dared to bind me," he muttered, his gaze turning toward Ryo. "You are but a child before me."

Ryo didn't hesitate. He ignited his Sanguine Dragon's Wrath, his power spiking as he unleashed a barrage of blood-infused magic. Fire, ice, and lightning danced through the sky, but each attack shattered against the angel's aura.

A single motion—a mere flick of the angel's hand—ended Ryo's second attempt.

[You have died. Activating Limitless Regression…]

Again.

And again.

And again.

Each time, Ryo tried a different approach.

On his fourth attempt, he activated Bloodscale Armor, hoping to withstand the angel's attack. He died instantly.

On his eighth attempt, he focused on speed, dodging rather than attacking. He died within seconds.

By the twelfth attempt, Ryo infused his entire body with Paradox Physique, pouring every ounce of his strength into one decisive strike. The angel barely blinked as Ryo's soul was ripped from his body.

By the eighteenth attempt, Ryo was panting, sweat dripping down his forehead as he braced for death once more.

[WARNING! THE ENEMY IS FAR STRONGER THAN THE USER. STARTING ADVANCED TRAINING MODE: PHASE 8.]

Suddenly, time froze.

The battlefield vanished, and in an instant, Ryo found himself standing within the training grounds, the same space where he had undergone relentless system-imposed challenges before.

Ryo exhaled slowly, forcing himself to remain calm. He clenched his fists as he realized what had happened—his battle against the angel had triggered a training phase beyond anything he had encountered before.

"Alright," he muttered. "If I have to die a hundred times to win, then so be it."

The ground beneath him cracked, and new challenges emerged before him. The system had thrown him into the fire—this time, he had no choice but to emerge stronger or perish forever.

[Advanced Training Mode: Phase 8 – Commencing now.]

The real battle had just begun.
