The Villain's Story

Chapter 427 [427] You against Yourself, with all your strengths but none of your limitations.[2]

As the blades of chaos tore through my skin and flesh, I was backed up into a corner.

"Argh!"

No matter how hard I tried,  I could not do anything against the monstrous strength it possessed. The muscles in my hands were being shredded apart due to the chaos blades, while the bones in my hand were being crushed by the grip strength possessed by the other me.

"You cannot defeat me."

He said as he pushed me back even further, I was helpless against his power.

"Shut up!"

I tried to push him back using the strength of my entire body, but he did not budge, I grit my teeth and endured the pain as summoned Ice spikes with the intent to impale him or give myself a moment of respite.

[Skill: Ice Spike has been used.]

But nothing worked, the Ice spikes were destroyed easily by the other men. He used the same skill as me, enhanced with the power of chaos to shatter my skill to pieces.

"No matter what you do."

Its bone-chilling voice resounded in my ears as I let out a scream of pain.

"Everything you can do."

It ripped my hands off and kicked me in the stomach.

"I can do better."

"Cough!"

I coughed up blood as soon as I crashed into the wall. Standing up, I took 5 (Humanity) supreme-grade potions and used them to regenerate my hands.

"...Shit…"

I let out a pained grunt. The skin, flesh, and bones of my hand regenerated slowly by the effect of the potion was quite painful.

This was a downside of the potions…unlike healing skills, they were more painful.

[Supreme Dragon of Lanesha say's look out!]

"Huh?"

As I was concentrating on my healing hands, I failed to notice the change in mana in the atmosphere. The other me had fired a breath of chaos magic at me.

"Shit!"

I cursed as I used a skill to protect myself.

[Skill: Wall of Frost has been used.]

I did not erect just one, but multiple, I erected as many as I could before the breath of chaos magic would manage to reach me.

I even inputted a significant amount of mana into each wall…but it was all for naught.

The breath tore through the extremely dense ice like it was nothing, and I was engulfed in the chaotic flames.

Even though I used my mana to form a shield around me, I was unable to do anything against the chaos breath.

The breath penetrated the shield and burned my body alive.

"Argh!"

In a moment of desperation, I expelled my mana outwardly to disperse the breath, and thankfully I was successful.

Although I wasn't unharmed, my skin had been severely burnt.

I looked at the other me and found something odd.

He was using…potions?

He was using the same potions I was using…and on the same spot as well!

Upon witnessing this, A question arose in my mind.

'Why is he using potions..?'

I had done nothing of significance to him, none of my attacks had harmed him enough that he would be using potions to heal himself. So then why?

Before I could even come to a conclusion, I felt the mana in the area fluctuate once again.

"Oh shit…"

A curse escaped my mouth, it was a signal of something bad about to happen.

And something bad would be happening indeed.

In front of me…were thousands of Swords made of ice and further enhanced with the power of chaos, giving them a purple color.

"..."

I gulped, a little scared.

"Come on…I don't do that kind of stuff…right?"

I said, completely aware of the fact that I was guilty of 'doing that stuff.'

But that didn't mean it was fair…right?

"Die."

The swords all rushed at me as soon as he commanded, and I tried to dodge them as much as I could.

I jumped on some, bearing with the power of chaos ripping my feet apart, some I parried with the help of the frost I had covered my hands with.

But even then…how long could I do this?

If I also created my own blades, they would be helplessly torn apart, I could not dodge them for an eternity…

No matter how much I tried, they were endless.

I could not even get to the other me, instead, I was just swarmed by the chaos blades.

I tried my best…but finally one hit me in the stomach.

It pierced through my abdominal muscles and stopped when it hit my lower spine…And I screamed in pain.

Thankfully, I was able to avoid another blade ramming into me.

But…I had no chance now.

I can't defeat that thing…not as long as it is using chaos.

But what can I do? I don't think I can stop it!

[The Supreme Dragon of Lanesha says to activate Dragon eyes, and worry not about the consequences.]

All of a sudden, as I was still recuperating from the blow, Lanesha's words rang inside my mind.

"What?!"

Use Dragon eyes? That is suicidal!

Dragon eyes is a skill that has a lot more power than just revealing all of the information about the opponent! I can't use those powers because I cannot use chaos!

Just the thought of that thing using all the powers of the dragon eyes I had no access to…with none of my restrictions as well sent shivers down my spine.

I was refraining from using my dragon abilities because of this as well, it was because I had not unlocked their full potential…because the dragon abilities of this vessel were those of chaos.

If that thing used them…I was fucked.

I could still put up a fight right now…but all hope of me going against that thing would be lost the moment it was able to use my dragon abilities to their full potential.

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha says she is risking her power! Use the skill and you will know how to overcome this trial!]

[The tower laughs at the supreme's desperate cries.]

"Ah!"

'Fuck it! I'm trusting you on this Lanesha!"
