Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain’s POV

Lucian immediately staggered as the armor protecting his body had a small dent on it, but apart from that, there was no permanent effect. Its just that, the massive amount of explosive dart thrown his way, made Lucian's spine tingled and his hair stood on end.

With no time to think, Lucian immediately crossed his armoured arm across his head, protecting it. And in just a split second, several explosions took place.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Lucian was being pushed backwards like a doll as the explosive sent him reeling backwards with its massive explosions.

Nix watched on expressionlessly as the young man before her was bombarded with clusters of explosive darts. She wasn't one to underestimate her enemy.

Although it was a slight overkill with the explosive darts, she thought it was necessary to eliminate the enemy thoroughly. Yes enemy. She had instantly recognized Lucian the moment he had come to rob them.

She knew about Lucian's escapades and how he became top one in the entrance exam.

This was unacceptable for her. She had thought she wouldn't need to make a move to take care of Lucian as the other students should have taken care of the thorn which is Lucian.

She just hadn't expected him to survive up until this moment. But now that she saw that using her strength alone wouldn't be able to beat him, she had resulted to the explosive relics and the mini heat-sensitivity explosive mine.

If he could somehow manage to escape the explosive dart with that weird talent of his, she should forget about escaping alive once he triggers the mine.

Lucian strolled calmly through then cloud of smoke, neglecting the smell of explosions and gun powder in the area.

He had smelt the killing intent from her already, he just didn't think it would take him this late to figure it out. This was the puzzling part.

It was as though his senses had been numbed at this point and he could only vaguely sense the threats he used to clearly sense.

"I'm pretty sure this is our first meeting, why would you want to kill me." Lucian casually stated and he suddenly stopped a few meters away from her.

Nix's face had turned pale at first but upon seeing that Lucian had passed the intended perimeter, the blood in her face returned back as she smiled triumphantly.

Cocking her eyebrows seductively, she laughed softly "Hehe, I thought I had hidden it well. Oh well, you are about to die anyways so..."

She giggled as she steed at Lucian's face. But Lucian had no change in expression and he only continued to stare at her with an unknown expression. Nix just couldn't figure out what the expression was but in her state of happiness, she neglected it.

"Honestly, I wouldn't have thought to kill you. You are so my type except for that average face of yours of course which a little bit of gene swapping would do the trick. Anyways, you should blame your luck." Nix frowned when she stated it as she was truly puzzled about that fact.

Nix laughed uncontrollably and a sinister light shone In her eyes. "I really don't know what to think of you. I most admit, you are very strong, but obviously, you're just too naive for your own good."

Lucian face remained passive "And what do you mean by that."

Nix smiled as she responded. "For you to stop moving forward exactly at that point, means you must have sensed some sort of threat which was why you refused to come any closer. I'm i right?" she clocked her eyebrows cutely.

Lucian remained unresponsive and his gaze remained expressionless.

This made Nix frowned slightly and she began to develop a bad feeling, which she quenched immediately. As long as one reaches the one meter radius from the thermal seeking mine, it would automatically lock on to the thermal signature and signs.

And if that same thermal signature changes slightly, the mine would instantly explode. It doesn't matter how little the change was, even the changes in heart beat rate could change one's thermal signature which would automatically trigger the mine and explode without warning.

The explosion from the explosive could explode a small cabin into smithereens. Although Nix had ensure she was in a safe distance away from Lucian and the mine, she was still slightly fearful of it.

That was how dangerous Lucian's situation was.

Lucian turned his gaze away from the girl and swept the area before him. Suddenly, his gaze focused on an area a bit more than half a meter before him. A slight budge could be seen on the surface of the earth. Covered with lots of brown colored radiation infected leaves.

It was extremely inconspicuous that Lucian only noticed it when he swept his gaze through every inch of the ground.

The concealment technique was just too great.

And this made Lucian frown. If he was truly had been the same person he was three days ago, he might have died from her hands with this technique.

But sadly, he wasn't the same person as he was which means, all this wad no different from trash in his eyes.

"If you had met me a few weeks ago, this little trick of yours might have worked and I might have died in your hands. But it's a pity you met the me now." Lucian said calmly as he shook his head as though it was truly a loss for her.

Nix's expression changed and the bad feeling she had repressed suddenly increased. Suddenly, she recognised the look on Lucian's face. It was the disdain which anyone at the edge of death shouldn't have. Her face turned slightly pale and she sneered "Do you think you will be able to escape before the it explodes?"

Lucian only glanced at her calmly and he casually spoke. "Idiot."

And in that next second, an explosive aura burst out from him as his entire strength was revealed!
