The Villain's Story

Chapter 157 [157]...What Happened?

Elijah stared at the domain of wind in the battleground with keen eyes.

If one paid closer attention to him, one would notice that his eyes were glowing a faint hue.

God's eyes were currently activated, and they allowed Elijah to see everything happen inside.

Even though no one else could.

He could see everything.

In the world of mirrors, he could see everything.

Alan at first stands alone in the middle, and Ezra is far away from him.

And then, as the reflections of Alan turned into those of Ezra and attacked Alan.

All whilst the main Ezra silently watched it all happen.

"Damn, I can't even see what's happening!"

Elaine commented from the side, seeming furious.

Of course, she was expecting an amazing fight but right in the middle of it, she couldn't see anything.

And to add to that, Unlike everyone's expectation, Alan was putting up a damn good fight.

"..."

Henry stayed quiet the entire time after the fight had begun.

And Elijah was the same, silently observing the fight with God's Eyes.

[Supreme Dragon Of Agri is dissatisfied with how it's going.]

'... dissatisfied?'

How could one be dissatisfied with this fight?

From the start, till now it was full of thrill.

One couldn't count how many times Alan had shocked everyone.

Ezra as well had put on quite a show.

Yet still, Agri was dissatisfied.

Elijah said nothing, a just came to terms with the fact that dragons are different.

Yet, he was becoming more and more nervous.

'Come on...come on.'

As he watched Alan's figure get continuously buried by the multiple Ezra, whilst the real one just watched from a distance.

Alan's desperate struggle.

Come on, defy those odds.

Defy the expectations everyone has of you losing.

You can do it.

You can do it.

"Well, He is putting up a good fight, I guess he deserved his ran-!?"

[Supreme Dragon of Fire Agri asks you to pay clo-?!]

It was then.

For just a second.

He witnessed true fear.

Both Serena and Agri had stopped talking in that single second.

Everyone had.

An immense pressure.

Terrifying pressure.

Had descended.

All from the wind domain, all from inside it.

Elijah and nearly every one took a step back.

Their bodies shivered, the moment that pressure appeared.

For a single second that pressure had appeared.

Everything had stopped.

As they all wondered, Elijah was the only one except Ezra who knew what was happening inside.

Alan suddenly took a calm stance and obliterated the fake Ezra around him.

He put his hands on his spear and raised it high above his head.

And pointed it in the direction of Ezra, who was supposed to be hidden.

And then, he let go of his spear.

He swung it down.

And the mana in the air followed his spear.

A crescent slash of pure white, which appeared to have missed Ezra intentionally erupted forth.

Barely missing Ezra, it made its way toward the domain walls.

And the domain could do nothing to withstand it.

It didn't start cracking, slowly losing.

It was decimated entirely in just a second.

*RAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR*

This distinct sound had masked everything.

It had masked the sound of the domain breaking apart.

And it had done it perfectly.

It resembled the sound of a beast roaring.

And Elijah received a message of Agri trembling, which shocked him even more.

Agri trembling?

No...it wasn't just Agri...He, Henry, Serena, Sabrina, Elaine, Logan, Alice, Richard, John, Elizabeth, Joe, Alexa, and everyone else trembled when that sound had been heard.

The roar of a beast that was feared by many.

A beast that Agri and nearly all dragons feared.

Elijah would later know which beast roared today.

The Dragon of Oblivion and Extinction, t dragon that had singlehandedly destroyed the empire of dragons, and godbeasts, and had been the biggest threat to the universe.

The dragon had destroyed layers, realms, worlds, systems, and even galaxies by itself.

The roar of the one...

And the only.

Aranus, The Dragon of Oblivion and Extinction.

***

[Aranus PoV]

The child did it.

He used possession.

Even though he knew of the risks, he did it.

I have to admire his bravery.

Oh well, since I am now here, I should destroy this domain for him.

"Begone."

I voiced out and the reflections disappeared.

I took a stance, the stance of the first movement of the Abyssal Spear...or rather the chaotic spear as it is now.

'Should I hit him...no I think not.'

I contemplated whether I should aim at the copycat human or not.

I probably shouldn't, I don't kill him would do the kid any good.

Oh well, ill just destroy this domain then.

[Chaotic Spear, First Art]

/|ABYSSAL REND|

A flawless rend.

A rent that had been honed by multiple massacres.

The true abyssal rend, that I could display with this body at its current level.

I hope it can handle it.

****

A massive explosion had occurred along with that mysterious roar.

Multiple members of the audience had roused their mana together to resist the explosion.

"Stop this Fight!"

"My Mana!"

"No!"

Logan screamed at the end, urging for the fight to continue.

It was because after the explosion subsided, he could see Ezra, Vomiting blood at one end...and Alan Peccator...in an even worse state.

"Just a little more! Come on Ezra Beat him!"

He screamed at the top of his lungs, not allowing the fight to end.

He noticed Richard pushing through and making his way to the stadium and he went over to stop him.

This fight must end in Ezra's victory.

***

I continued to vomit blood.

It didn't stop.

Every part of my body is bleeding, and my bones breaking.

The blood didn't stop, my bloodline tried its best to heal me, but even it was reaching its limits.

But I can't stop.

I stood up, despite the pain, and faced Ezra, who was holding a spear with a bloody mouth.

...and in the next moment, I saw him take the stance of the first movement of the Chaotic Spear art.

I laughed inside.

'..hah, he fucking copied it.'

The blood didn't stop, and somehow I was smiling.

I took the same stance, and we both released crescent s lashes of mana at each other.

*Cough!*

The amount of blood... it's too much.

I fell on my knees, with my body devastated.

My ability to stand is long gone.

My arms are in pain, my body in agony.

And you know what's even funnier?

He is still standing, taking the same stance again.

I tried to stand, yet failed each time.

The crescent slash exited his spear, and it made its way toward me.

...it seemed as if time had stopped.

And I was filled with regret.

If only I could endure more...maybe I would have won...

I'm sorry Samantha.

I couldn't get your cure...I couldn't win it...

...I....im...so so sorry.
