The Villain's Story

271 [271] Thunder Giant.



Lucas's vision faded away...and now only darkness was around him.

He felt as if he was submerged in water, drowning endlessly...yet he felt like he could still breathe. It was an ominous and never-ending darkness.

He was certain now, He knew when his vision was fading his heart had stopped beating.

'...so this is death?'

No Angel to take him to heaven or hell? Just eternal darkness?

Huh...doesn't feel all that bad. I wonder what happened to be honest.

Just what had happened that Alan went full rage mode? Just who did it and why?

I guess I will never know...

Damnit...Im feeling sleepy...I have an intense urge to just close my eyes and fall asleep.

Forever.

Well...It doesn't matter now. I am already dead.

What will it matter? I lost.

I tried my very best, I tried my hardest yet still I fell like a ragdoll.

So...it's better If I just close my eyes.

Huh?

Suddenly, Just As I was about to close my eyes I felt an electric shock wake me up.

Green energy surrounded me...As I wondered why I felt a shock.

It gave this dark world some light...But then I saw another light. Blue light comes down towards me.

...What is that?

I wondered, oblivious to the identity of the blue light. And this green energy surrounds me.

The color was similar to the jewel inside the necklace master gave me.

The lapis lazuli-like color, which had a lightning bolt within... seemed familiar.

This green energy around me was waking me up...and I was curious as to what would happen.

The light approached closer and closer...until it was right in front of me.

And then, out of nowhere, I heard a voice.

[Host: Lucas Hiddlestone has met the requirements for Bloodline Transfer.]

[Conditions: The Determination of a Giant. The Heart of a Giant. The tenacity of a Giant. The Endurance of a Giant. Aura...and Finally.

The Will of a Giant.]

...What?

What is this voice? It sounds weird...where is it coming from?

...the blue light?

Determination of a Giant? Aura? Heart of a Giant?... What is it talking about?

[Would the host, Lucas Hiddlestone agree to the Bloodline Transfer? The host has suffered severe injuries and Aura is the only thing keeping Host Alive. Injuries will immediately heal after the host has accepted and Bloodline Absorption will begin.]

Bloodline...what are you talking about?

[Host will absorb the bloodline of the Thunder Giants, a tribe of might giants that once ruled over a Galaxy. The thunder giants were extremely powerful beings who have now gone extinct after a war with the Fire Dragon Tribe.]

What...?

[Does the host accept the transfer?]

...I don't know what you're talking about...But I will live if I accept...right?

[Yes.]

Accept.

**********

Alan limped away from Lucas's corpse, now intending to go and raze the black market to the ground.

Lucas gave him a good fight...especially because He was already Injured.

He was bleeding all over, and whatever those gauntlets were...they had beaten the shit out of him.

*COUGH*

Alan coughed up a mouthful of blood. Still...he was determined and set out to the black market, slowly recovering his mana along the way.

And it was just then...he felt something.

He turned around to confirm if Lucas was dead or not...but he was...?

His heart wasn't beating, there was no pulse and no movement at all.

So...what was he feeling?

It was then that his eyes paused on a necklace on Lucas's neck...A necklace whose Jewel was...melting?

'Am I hallucinating?'

He wondered if his eyes were playing a trick on him...but they were not. That necklace was melting and the liquid was disappearing into Lucas's skin. It was as if Lucas was absorbing it.

Was it a type of Health Artifact? But no health Artifact except an elven tear could bring someone back from the dead.

So what was it?

And then...Alan felt an electrifying wave of energy pass over him... A shockwave that sent a shiver up his spine...?

What is this? What is happening?

Lucas's hair slowly changed from brown to Blonde...and A green energy surrounded Lucas...

"...That's not mana..."

Alan muttered as he watched Lucas stand up slowly...the green energy enveloping his body like an armament tougher than the strongest steel.

"...Aura?"

alan muttered...finally remembering what energy it was.

Aura...he could never forget it. Kubrick made that energy be embedded into his soul. Aura had a unique feeling about it. Something different than Mana...Something he knew.

He fought against and lost miserably against Aura once...Against An orc who mastered it.

Lucas opened his eyes...but instead of an iris or pupil all Alan could see were two glowing green lights.

Alan activated his mana and got ready. Lucas had done it...just Like Alexander had.

He had achieved it...Ultra Instinct.

Ultra Instinct...characterized by an extremely high level of martial arts mastery that allows the user to react and move without thinking. Ultra Instinct causes their body moves on its own, instinctively dodging and attacking their opponent with incredible speed and accuracy.

A level of power they didnt even know they had. Abilities their bodies possessed but their mind didnt know of.

The technique is said to be achieved when a fighter can master their own body and mind to the point where their actions are guided by pure instinct, rather than conscious thought. When achieved, it gives the user an enormous power boost, making them nearly unbeatable in battle...But how is he moving?

Alan wondered...He had broken Lucas, most of his bones. The fragments of those broken bones should have pierced his organs...Lucas shouldn't be moving.

But how?

...No this was not the time to think about that.

Alan flared up his mana and collided with the green Aura. The sight of AURA going against Mana was going to be replicated for the second time now. the first time, it was on the Island Where Shield and Hero Academy held their joint sessions...during a battle of death.

And now, for the second time in an unknown alley amidst the pouring rain. In another battle to the death.

And then, the collision between Mana and Aura occurred...And Alan and 'Lucas' went head-on.

*********

[In the Aror Association training grounds.]

There lay only a single young boy in the middle of this scorchingly hot place. In some places, the material used for its construction was melting!

The level of heat in this place was unimaginable, a normal person would have boiled...no melted alive here.

And a young man, with an incredibly Handsome face and well-defined body, lay shirtless in a meditative position. With Each breath, the temperature fluctuated wildly.

Elijah opened his eyes and welcomed the system prompts with a smile.

[You have successfully evolved into a Fire Drake.]

[Your rank has Increased to C-]

Heh. A smirk was present on Elijah's face as he looked at the prompts with a. Happy smile on his face.

[Supreme dragon of Fire Agri congratulates you on your Advancement, but warns you o take it slowly from now lest you risk death.]

"Yeah, Yeah...anyways is there any way I can remove these scales?"

Elijah asked with a nonchalant tone as he looked at the scales covering his body. Some were on his back, whilst some were on his shoulders and other parts of his body.

[Supreme Dragon of Fire Agri tells you that it is an honor to have those scales!]

"Yeah, Yeah whatever. I'll just hide them with clothes then."

Elijah remarked before wearing his clothes. Meanwhile, Agri was probably destroying stuff out of anger because of Elijah's attitude.

"Anyways...Im glad I caught up."

Elijah said. He wanted to catch up to Alan long ago. And he was happy that he had caught up now. Although he still wondered if he could beat him in a fight.

Just then, as he buttoned his shirt up...he felt an electrifying wave of energy. A shockwave of sorts.

"...the hell was that?"

Elijah said...as he felt weird when he felt that energy. He questioned it.

[Supreme Dragon of Agri orders you to go investigate the source of the energy.]

Suddenly, for the first time in a while, Agri asked something from him.

"Investigate? Tell me what you know first."

Said Elijah as he got ready to go, and donned his Amrour from his system inventory.

[Supreme dragon of Fire Agri tells you that it is the energy of the Extinct Thunder Giants.]

"Extinct...?"

Elijah asked, wanting more information.

[Supreme Dragon of Fire Agri says that the fire dragon tribe had made the rave go extinct after they had started a war with the Fire Dragons. It is concerning that one's energy is being felt here.]

Elijah...as he heard more and more from his guardian dragon was getting concerned.

"Wait...if they messed with dragons...especially your tribe doesn't that mean that they are ridiculously powerful?! Are you sending me to die?!"

[Supreme Dragon of Fire Agri says that only the energy is being felt. Earth is not able to handle something that strong. Even if does appear, I will handle it. I did it once. I can do it again.]

"..."

Elijah, although still reluctant sighed and left to go investigate whatever caused the energy. He just hoped he didn't encounter an actual thunder Giant.

Come on, even if they went extinct they had the balls to mess with the Fire Dragon tribe...They had to be ridiculously strong.

He went out, hoping that the worst did not happen.

Yet he would find something he never even imagined.
