The Villain's Story

*BOOM!*

There was a large explosion as Alan and Adam collided with one another.

Adam retreated the moment he collided with Alan and did his best to Dodge the ice spikes that were thrown at him.

His right forearm had broken during the collision.

"...What a tough body."

He remarked, Fortunately, his broken forearm healed soon and he was ready to fight once again. He charged at Alan and did his best to slash at him with his claws.

Alan, on the other hand, didnt care to dodge, he coated himself with mana and Kicked at Adam. Aam dodged it by jumping in the air and slamming his tail into Alan's face. Alan grabbed it quickly and then threw Adam into the ground like a ragdoll again and again.

Alan ripped Adam's tail off, and Adam retreated in pain.

'...What brute strength.'

He regenerated his tail back...and for the first time reconsidered trying to attack Alan.

He didnt know who the masked man was...but he was strong. Stronger than the current him right now.

'Must I transform further?'

Adam thought for a second. The intruder who had attacked the Black Market was proving to be a challenge.

'...'

After observing Calm Alan standing menacingly, He made up his mind and transformed even further.

His bones and flesh shifted, he became taller and fangs appeared out of his mouth. Now his entire body was covered in tough hair that acted as Armor. The transformation took a few seconds...and shockingly the intruder didnt interrupt it.

Alan, on the other hand...had a weird feeling.

'...What is he?'

Alan wondered. From the moment he had appeared...The mana was weird around him. No... he himself seemed odd.

It was as if he was not fighting something alive...It was like he was fighting a corpse. A puppet.

The feeling was foreign to Alan...which was he was stupefied for a moment.

A fully transformed White tiger, Possessing pure white fur like snow, black stripes on its back, and extremely powerful muscles and sharp claws and fangs. But something was strange. To others, it would seem like a dignified warrior...But Alan, who could feel the mana around the white tiger...felt it was corrupted.

It was not complete... It felt as if it was...dead.

The mana around it was foreign to mana sensitive being like Alan.

It didnt feel...natural.

"Where did you get that bloodline from?"

Finally, Alan could take it no longer and asked.

He knew the person in front of him had a bloodline but was confused as to how it was so incomplete. He himself, who had the bloodline of the mighty Pheonix. And compared to that this felt weird.

And furthermore, he felt weird. There was a sort of thrill in the art of fighting...yet he found no thrill from him. It was as if he was a walking corpse, a soulless being.

Adam charged at Alan, and Alan dodged his attacks all while he observed him.

Adam threw a strong punch at Alan, coated with his mana but to no avail. Alan simply caught the punch and said.

"Where did you get that bloodline from?"

Alan repeated but was met with a wind blade to the face.

"..."

Alan ate the blade with no difficulty and then coated himself with Ice mana. But the mask had broken somewhat.

Alan retreated and was met by a torrent of storms. A storm cut apart his clothes and some skin.

"..."

The left side of his mask had broken and his Astral blue eye was now visible.

"None of your damn business!"

Hundreds of Wind blades assaulted him. He quickly conjured up a flower of ice to shield him and then a Spear of Frost.

Adam suddenly stopped attacking when he saw the Flower of Ice. It reminded him of a certain woman with an extremely good level of control over Ice. His hollow eyes stared at it for a while...gaining some light in them.

Alan stared at him from the top of the flower...and then A fire was rekindled in his heart. He was free for a while.

That stance...that frame...that usage of mana...

It reminded him of someone he was unable to beat...someone who was the cause of his descent.

Alfred Peccator.

"Huhahaha..."

A strange laugh erupted from his mouth as he finally recognized who the intruder was.

"HAHAHAHAH!"

That laugh soon turned into a maniacal one. Alan looked at Adam with perplexed eyes. Now...Adam didnt feel like a corpse. He seemed alive now, with some semblance of freedom.

Now, He didnt feel like a walking corpse or a puppet...but rather human.

"...To think his son would come to me...all by his own!"

Alan simply stared at his descent into madness. As his mana levels increased. It was still ok. Alan wasn't going all out at all. He would still be able to take him on. Rather easily if he went all out.

"THANK YOU OH DIVINE BEING FOR THIS GIFT. FOR THIS CHANCE AT REVENGE."

"..."

Adams's figure changed, purple energy surrounded him as his eyes felt different from the hollow ones before.

Alan prepared himself for Adam's attack.

"To think I would be given the chance to defeat Alan Peccator! The first spati-"

*CRASH*

Alan didnt let him finish his sentence.

*****

[Lucas POV]

"How dare you?!"

I dodged the illusory tails that were as sharp as steel. I tried to attack that woman but those tails stopped me.

She was going insane in front of me. I don't know who interfered with us. But that damn man was keeping Alan occupied and now I had to deal with her.

Strings erupted from her hands and went into the corpses of the guards and in front of my eyes they reanimated, but this time filled with foul energy.

I could feel my blood boiling. Is this a reaction of my bloodline to that energy? I feel angry somehow.

"HOW DARE YOU TEAR UP THE PLACE I WORKED YEARS TO BUILD?!"

An unholy scream erupted from her which hurt my ears. The woman began transforming, Hair sprouted from all over and the illusory tails turned into real tails. And now I was seeing an actual Bipedal Vixen with 6 tails.

" HOW DARE YOU HUMILIATE ME IN FRONT OF MY BELOVED?! HOW D-"

"OH SHUT UP ALREADY!"

*CRACKLE*

I threw a lightning bolt at her to shut her up, but the damn bitch used one of the dead guards to block it.

"Dare this, dare that. If you want revenge just fucking come at me without screaming bullshit!"

Dozens of dead guards attacked me as I rushed towards her, Her strings which came to block me were torn apart by my meta chains and thunderbolts. And I charged at her with all my might. Ready to take this bitch down.

'I like this actually!'

I thought, overjoyed to be given this opportunity. At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to test my powers here fully! I wanted to see what my bloodline could do! At what Aura could do! I thought I wouldn't meet anyone here capable of letting me test it!

So this is the damn best! Alan is occupied with that guy...AND I HAVE HER ALL TO ME! And she is strong too!

My entire body became covered in lightning as I charged at her with fervor and said!

"LET ME TEST ON YOU!"

Be my guinea pig to test out Aura and my Bloodline!
