The Villain's Story

Chapter 431 [431] A taste of what each other felt.

Before I could even think, I was pushed away by the demonic being, it swung it's whip with as much force it could muster and sent my body flying.

Thankfully, I had raised my sword to block the whip. But that did not mean I was unscathed.

I crashed into a car, and the sword I was wielding was obliterated by the power of the whip.

Even though I did not control the actions of Elijah(or the body I was present in). I could feel the pain vividly.

The collision with the whip had fractured my wrists and forearms, making me feel a great amount of pain. Furthermore, the car I crashed into had definitely done some damage to my spine.

"Ku...."

Crimson blood escaped my mouth and splattered on the ground. Even though my(?) body was incredibly injured, I still raised my head up and glared at the demon.

"You..."

I could feel it...The wrath Elijah possessed in this moment. I could feel the power of his mana surging through his veins, boiling his blood and rejuvenating his vigor. His fire affinity cleansed and healed his body to the best of it's abilities and like a dragon, refused to give up.

I stood up, and another sword, much like the one before materialized in my hands.

Very soon, the same phenomenon happened and the sword, along with my body were covered in a suit of flames, designed to protect and destroy.

"You!"

"Oho? Your alive?

The demon's voice echoed in my ears, and I, rushed in.

'Wait! Wait!'

I tried to stop myself from blindly rushing in like an idiot, but it was all in vain.

"YOU!"

A voice not my own emerged, laced with hate and a pure desire to kill the demonic fucker in front of me.

"Ha."

But all it took for the demon to throw me far was to release a bit of his energy. The shockwave hit me with the force of a truck and shattered my ribs. The pieces ripped apart my flesh and punctured my internal organs.

And I screamed like a bitch.

"Amazing."

As I was in extreme pain, not being able to move lest I worsen my injuries, the demon approached me, striking his whip against the ground.

The whip tore through the cement as if it were paper.

"A kid like you...still alive?"

There was no mockery in his voice, only sheer amazement.

He approached me, and I tried to use a skill.

[Skill: Fire Bolt has been used.]

But nothing happened, the bolt of flame was devoured by the endless darkness that was his figure. He said.

"Are you done?"

He was enjoying this. 

[Skill: Fire Bolt has been used!]

[Skill: Fire Bolt has been used!]

[Skill: Fire Bolt has been used!]

[Skill: Fire Bolt has been used!]

I used the skill four more times, but to no avail. It seems to me that this is strongest skill Elijah currently possesses right now.

Unfortunately, his strongest skill is useless against this abomination of darkness.

The demon, revealed a sinister smile as it kneeled down and looked at me straight in the eyes.

It's clawed fingers stroked my face, ripping my delicate skin apart. It held my chin high and said,

"Do you want to become a demon?"

It asked, with an angelic voice contrasting it's hideous and sinister appearance.

It added.

"Come on...Become a demon and I will fulfill your every wish. Your brother over there, I will heal him and even make him become a talented awakened...As for your family, I will give them safety and wealth.

Just become a demon...become my subordinate and all will be yours."

I stared at it's face, and responded with...

Ptui!

By spitting on it's face.

To be honest, even though I was not the one in control, I enjoyed this. I loved how Elijah responded.

I would have done the same as well. Everyone knew that falling prey to the sweet but sinister promises of a demon was akin to signing a death warrant.

However, people were retarded, and still did it. The demons also possessed a wide variety of skills which weakened the psyche and made it all happen. They would attack by utilizing either the trauma or needs of the people, slowly pushing them towards the edge.

This was what happened with the White Tiger Guild leader, Adam White as well. He had been consumed by the Demonic Marquess who used a plethora of skills that attacked the Human Psyche, weakening it slowly but surely.

That was how even an upright and just human being who enjoyed competition was turned into a failure of a man.

"..."

The demon, clearly dissatisfied increased the grip on my chin. My jaw broke under the immense strength.

"Now let's see whether you can spit or not."

It laughed. Consequently, it also used a number of skills to attack my mind.

[Skill: Infernal Illusion has been cast on you.]

[Skill: Mental Despair has been cast upon you.]

However...the skills proved to be useless.

[The Protection of the King of Fire dragon's is with you, rendering such skills useless.]

Damn, I was jealous.

"What?"

And the demon was shocked.

With a sudden burst of strength, my body unleashed a wave of fire energy and sprung forth with strength.

The demon, for the first time was injured by my attack and backed away. I took out a potion from my inventory and drank it.

'...'

I had forgotten, Elijah had the most overpowered cheat known as the [System]. The thing that was his main source of strength. He could do anything with his system, which gave him quests with stupendous rewards and a shop where he could buy anything.

'Argh!'

A tight feeling gripped my heart, and I, literally felt Elijah's body melt as he used whatever mana he could to enhance his physique.

'You idiot! Do you want to fucking kill yourself?'

I cursed at him, without recalling the fact that 'I' had also done too many times to count.

'You fucker!'

Since I was in his body, I couldn't do anything but feel anything, which was why I voiced out a complaint. I could feel my blood vessels bursting apart! I could feel my heart going into overdrive and my bones shivering from the immense mana!

'Elijah! Stop!'

But no matter how much I cried, it was useless. I could feel my entire body burst apart as Elijah activated 'that'.

[Skill: |DECIMATION| has been activated.]

Haha...this fucker is crazier than me. He's even more insane than I am!

"You psycho!"

And it seems the demon thought the same.
