The Villain's Story

Chapter 296  [296] Another Falls.

In the battle between Henry and the guildmaster of the aqua, The Guildmaster of the Aqua Buffalo guild used his water whips to block most of them. But Henry's barrage was relentless.

Some Arrows still hit him and caused minor wounds.

"GRAHHH!"

The Buffalo Beast roared and an armour of Water covered him. Henry changed his strategy. Instead of firing multiple shots, he focused on a single, powerful Attack.

The Buffalo beast got on its legs and a large amount of Mana and Chais Energy moved towards him. his entire figure became wrapped in purplish water. And Purple energy also covered his head.

As Henry powered up his attack, the Buffalo did the same.

"TAKE THIS!"

Like a typical Boss, He yelled out the name of his attack.

"CHARGING CHAOTIC RUSH!"

He had a terrible naming sense. However, the power behind the attack was real.

Chaos Energy spiraled around him, And The sheer power it had emanated into the environment. Everyone's eyes focused on both of them.

"Henry! Take it!'

[Blessing of Strength has been cast on you.]

Elaine cast a supporting spell on Henry. She did all she could to help him.

The ground rumbled as the Buffalo began his charge, and torrents of wind gathered around Henry's large arrow.

[Arrow of Sovereign Winds (A) has been activated.]

And then he fired it.

The ripping sound of the winds vanished, in fact, all sound disappeared for a second. Only the rumbling of the Earth was felt because of the Buffalo's charge. It was all silent.

And then it appeared again Like a Storm. The Arrow of Sovereign winds clashed with the Head of the Buffalo, and the Chaos energy spirals and wind energy spirals dueled one another as the Charge of the Buffalo was halted. Even using all his strength in his legs was not enough, he was getting pushed back.

"Gah...!"

The Buffalo grunted, he tried his best to proceed but was slowly getting pushed back.

'NO! I WILL NOT. We didnt sacrifice so much for just this!'

However, there was will in his soul, Willpower fueled by his and his comrades' ambitions.

Slowly but surely he inched forward, using all his might. All his power to destroy the Arrow of Sovereign winds.

"YOU THINK I CAN BE THWARTED JUST LIKE THAT?!"

He roared, He triumphed!

"YOU ARE NOT EVEN EZRA, YOUR JUST A FUCKING NOB-?!"

Henry below him? Aiming his bow right at his face?

he stopped in the middle of his sentence, as he saw Henry below him... Right in front of his face.

He was still going against the arrow of sovereign winds...So how was Henry below him? Aiming his bow right at his face?

'...ah.'

In the end, he realized, it was his mistake to think Henry was also Immobilized like him. He wasn't

[Arrow Of Swirling Storm has been fired]

Right at the Buffalo's eyes. He was powerless to do anything.

"It was your mistake to think I'm Ezra."

"GAAHHHHHH!!"

The Buffalo screamed In pain, He raised his head and that was also a fatal mistake, His powerful horns and the chaotic energy that was centered around his head that was blocking the Arrow of Sovereign Winds were gone...And Now nothing Stood in the Arrow's path...To the Buffalo.

The Moment he raised his Head, The Arrow of sovereign winds marched forward, Unimpeded, attacked the Buffalo Beast and sent him flying.

"hah..."

Henry smirked, He was proud he did that.

The Moment that the collision between the Chaotic energy and Arrow Of Sovereign winds had begun, he rushed towards the Buffalo and slid underneath his huge body, and planned to attack his eye.

'..hah....hah...' Henry was evidently tired...the Skills he used were no joke. although they could not be displayed at their full potential due to his low rank...Thus they would not be able to kill the damn Buffalo.

But they would severely Injure it...right?

'That is not my objective...'

Henry stopped to collect himself for a while and then aimed his Bow at the Beacon.

'...I only have some Mana left...'

He was planning to use whatever skill he could with his mana... So that he could break the barrier and Altar together...

But then, The Demonic Humans attacked him.

"KILL HIM!"

"PROTECT THE ALTAR."

Dozens of magic attacked him, thankfully the Association's members responded in time and cast barriers around him.

"SHOOT!"

"DESTROY IT!"

Swords of Light descended and attacked the demonic beings, As The Buffalo started to get up.

"You...YOU!"

Henry gazed at the Beacon and used his bloody fingers to draw his bow once again.

A Crimson light shone in the area, The beacon in the next district fell.

People stopped, and the battle Stopped as the Light engulfed them all.

Elaine had a glad expression while Henry smirked.

"...so you did it already... Eli?"

Yeah, Of course, he did. This is Elijah we were talking about. Elijah had already subjugated whoever was at His beacon...All Alone, while they struggled here.

It seems he never could compare himself to them...Both Elijah and Alan...and his own brother. All of them were monsters in their own right.

'...I am Not Ezra...I know that.'

So it's no use, He shouldn't compare himself with his brother. How long did it take for him to realize this...? Too long.

Two Arrows of wind materialized in his bow...and He used his pride and joy.

A Skill that was his pride and joy long ago, A Skill he loved. A Skill he dedicated sleepless nights to Master. Yet Ezra copied it in seconds. But that can all go to hell.

This is his skill, His pride and joy, His strongest attack.

"STOP HIM YOU BUFFOOONS!"

The Buffalo roared, He could feel the immense amount of Mana gathering At Henry's bow.

"Their all trying their best...I should too."

He would pass out but that beacon would disappear.

"STOP HIM!!!"

The buffalo began charging at him again, the Demonic Humans all focused their attacks on Him as the Association tried their best to protect him.

'I am Not Ezra....'

I am not my brother....I am...

'Henry, Henry Fornum.'

[Spiral Dance of the Tempest Dragons[S] has been activated!]

Two Dragons made of roaring winds erupted from his bow, they destroyed everything in their path and rushed towards the Beacon.

This was it, his strongest skill. His Pride. His Sign, His Symbol.

And it lived up to it's name, it proved Henry's efforts of mastering it... It's Mastery.

A storm engulfed the area as the Dragons reached the beacon...

"NOOOO!"

They destroyed it.

The beacon disappeared. And Silence erupted.

Another beacon fell down, now only two remain.

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU ALL!"

Henry could feel the Chaos energy attacking his body, He slowly lost vision in his eyes...He could feel himself falling as blood erupted from every orifice in his body.

He could see the Buffalo, albeit barely, rushing towards him.

'...Your not mine to fight.'

He thought...He knew.

He could now rest peacefully.

The Last thing he saw was his Orange hair, his sword engulfed in flames and a hidden rage in him.

'...Good Luck Eli.'

He bid good luck to his best friend who appeared after destroying his assigned beacon.

And then he fell unconscious, He knew was safe.

Elijah was here.
