The Villain's Story

Chapter 634: Great General(5)



I didn't have a lot of time to think about what was happening, as soon as I used instant teleportation to go as far as I could, I only saw the entire group still and the Arctic Titan split open like tofu.

Besides that, there was also this oppressive feeling that was driving me insane, I didn't know what it was, but it was clearly different from the magic that was used to freeze time earlier.

I saw somebody I didn't recognize, but the only thing of his that remained in my vision was his horrific mask. It reminded me of the skull of a sheep, but it was something much more sinister. I couldn't afford to look at that damn mask for long.

Heading towards him with great speed, I focused my mana behind him and opened up a portal.

And then I tackled him, taking him with me to the other side of the portal and closing it behind me afterward.

I took him to the massive bridge we landed on when we first embarked on this cold planet. I took him there for two reasons.

First, to be as far away from the group as possible, and second for my own safety. I still didn't know who this was...although I had an idea.

Taking him here would guarantee my safety, I had to place my trust in Lanesha that she would make the worst case scenario, that being my death, impossible to occur. Being this close to her castle is the best place for me.

And the dragons whose voices I heard were also bound to step in if things got too serious... I hope.

Besides all that, I still had hope that was still just...a trial. I don't know about Lanesha, but maybe some frost dragons still disapprove of me and did this...

I slammed the Draconian into the bridge, but failed to make a dent. Seeing that he was relatively fine, I let go and flew back.

'I... feel nothing.'

I felt nothing from that damn bastard, no mana, no killing intent, nothing at all. That could only mean two things. Either he was weak, which was close to impossible...or he was many, many levels above me.

The Draconian stood up and looked at me, awaiting my next move. Now that I take a closer look at the bastard...he sure is big.

He is similar to me in my Draconian form, but twice as big. He doesn't have any wings too. Not only that, but he raised his finger and beckoned me to come try again, which prompted me to stop thinking and take action.

'Fine, I'm going all out. They can probably repair the bridge...'

I summoned the Ame-No-Sakahoko, and released the techniques of the Heavenly Sky Splitting spear up to the fourth, enhancing my defense as much as possible and keeping the bastard at bay.

The golden armor materialized around me, as the attacks poured down at him. No smoke or anything that could obstruct my vision was released...

That bastard took them all without even moving. He rested his arms behind his back, as if this was nothing.

'... Is he provoking me?'

Well, too bad for him. I won't be falling for a provocation like that. I should keep my distance until he makes a move, my teleportation should give me an upper hand in speed.

I tried casting a few of my skills, like Ice Lance, Ice Spike, Glacier and the like... But I failed to do so.

'...fuck.'

I tried once again, trying to use all the magic skills I previously used in large number, but I couldn't.

'Damnation.'

I can't even use my magic because the system was destroyed by Ariel...and since I have no idea what sorcery is... I don't think I may be able use my magic at all.

'Damn it, what's the point of a near infinite mana pool if I couldn't use magic at all?'

I cursed, and focused as much of my mana into my own body, reinforcing it to great length. If worse comes to shove, I can still use my destructive aura.

I don't have an infinite supply of that, so I have to use it sparingly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

'Guess I am responding to that provocation after all...'

I rushed towards him, spear in hand and I stabbed, he moved his body to the side like I predicted. I even used the Heavenly Sky Splitting thrust as well...but he dodged it like it was nothing.

I continued with my attack and drove the spear downwards towards the bride, using it like a pole, I elevated myself until his and my eyes locked, and kicked him in the face.

....!

The golden armor around my leg shattered like it was glass, and my thick scales crumbled and sunk into my own flesh. I wanted to do damage to him...not myself.

His defense was much greater than I expected, I kicked him once more with the same leg and lifted my spear upwards to cut him, but he avoided it.

I flew up, the damage I inflicted upon myself was taking its time to heal since I was using

mana.

'How do I get past that defense?'

I can use the Chaotic spear, but I have to make sure I hit him... and even if I do, I have to make that hit last.

A crazy idea appeared in my head, but to make it work, I have to make a wound on that monstrous bastard first.

Clap.

Clap.

Clap.

"Haha..."

A dry cough escaped my mouth as the sound of his clapping reverberated throughout this

entire place. That... pissed me off.

I wanted to use Glacial Meteor so bad... But I couldn't use magic at all...

Just then, all of a sudden, I looked up to the sky, feeling a large shadow descend upon the

world.

"What the hell?"

I saw my own skill, the one I invented, glacial meteor taking form. I was confused... I thought

I couldn't use skills of the system?

No, it's wrong to say that, I created the Glacial Meteor skill by myself by combining two

skills...

'So I can use skills I created myself?'

I thought as I saw my signature skill taking form, and another idea propped up in my head, which would make the chances of the first one increase...if it worked.

'If I can use Glacial meteor, I can use gravity magic as well. I just need the conduits.'

Instead of attacking him, I flew upwards and used the fifth and final movement of the Heavenly Sky Splitting spear, to break my own meteor into multiple pieces.

The pieces fell down, some landed on the bridge, whilst some descended deeper into the abyss below it. Somehow, they stopped moving entirely after a while, suspended in air.

I ignored it, and continued summoning as four more meteors, breaking them into pieces with the Heavenly Sky Splitting spear. I think I even confused him.

Well, who wouldn't be? I was rendering my biggest magical attack useless after all. But there was still a reason for it.

As the pieces of the meteors fell down, I cast gravity field. The calm blue of this environment was pushed back by an oppressive purple.

But I didn't use it to weigh him down, I knew that would be useless, soaring as high as I could in my gravity field, and used the entirety of it to add weight only to my spear, and I began my

descent. Summoning the incomplete [Gáe Bolg], I held the spear in my other hand and channeled my mana into it, having its skill, [Laceration] ready, and I used the second movement of the Chaotic Spear, Oblivion thrust with the Ame-No-Sakahoko.

I descended with great speed, splitting the air apart and producing a sharp roar. My target was

clear.

It was that bastard's right eye, If I couldn't pierce his scales, I can go for the weakest body part of every living being, the eyes!

He didn't make any effort to dodge, he only stopped clapping and waited for my strike to land. His confidence was astounding.

My initial strike landed with a deafening boom, without wasting any more time and without

knowing if the [Oblivion Thrust] did any damage or not, I stabbed [Gáe Bolg] into the same eye, making sure it went as deep as it possibly could, and used Laceration.

My ears were on fire, and my body was numb. Turn's out falling with that much weight and stopping suddenly was a bad idea... To my shock, the damn bridge beneath us was okay.

[That's good.]

Am I hearing shit now? Is it Lanesha or somebody else? I can't make sense of it due to my

state.

[Your skill doesn't fall behind the other heirs, despite the large age gap... That's amazing,

prince.]

[You also used a new kind of mana I haven't seen in any dragon before... I applaud you.

Though please take notice that I dodged your spear attacks in fear of your beloved weapon breaking apart. I lowered my defenses just for your attack to succeed as well. Excellent power

behind it.]

Azmakul continued to explain, with [Gáe Bolg] still in his eye. It seemed Laceration failed.

[Now what more surprises do you ho-]

Before he could continue, his face met a point-blank dragon's breath.
