Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain’s POV

There was no rumble, neither was there any sound. But strangely enough, Lucian's figure before Nix began to vanish like a non existent picture. It was as though he was an image of the past. As if he was never there to begin with.

It was like a character in a painting that was being erased by the creator. But as a third of the image was being erased, the surrounding image was shredded into multiple pieces.

"BOOM!!!"

A massive explosion took place, ripping apart everything in a 100 meters wide radius, sending sand, rocks and broken pieces of trees all over.

Nix and the rest of her team squinted covered their eyes and ears from the sound and the bright light resulting from the explosion.

It was a bit weird as the explosion within a 100 meters radius, without even going further to damage anything.

A few moments after the explosion had died down, Fauce asked with a puzzled expression "Don't you think that's a little too much."

Nix's gaze stayed at the explosion site where a 100 meters radius wide hole could now be vaguely seen through the smoke and dust.

"I never underestimate my enemy." Nix said with a narrowed eyes.

"But still, using a the heat sensitivity explosive is rather overkill." Fauce managed to whisper before he reluctantly kept quiet under Nix's glare.

"Phire." Nix tilted her head to the side as she gazed at one of the girls behind her.

"Go and inspect the aftermath of the explosion and report every details to me."

"Alright." the girl named Phire answered positively and she immediately moved to check It out.

"Alvin, hope you ain't asleep? Continue surveying our surroundings while the rest of you get into position. We move out when Phire gets back to formation." Nix commanded.

"Sure miss." The rest of the team responded. Although most of the time, the young mid likes to fool around and give command to Fauce, she was the true captain of her team.

"Eh?" Alvin suddenly turned pale as he struggled to talk.

Nix stared at Alvin who was beside her with a serious expression on her face.

"What's wrong?" Nix was getting a little anxious as Lucian's arrogant smirk flashed in her mind from time to time.

"T_th_the life signature is still active." Alvin managed to squeeze the words out from his mouth.

Nix felt her brain go blank. And the first thing that came to her mind was impossible. It's was simply impossible to escape from the explosion.

Even a phase who doesn't have a speed base gene would be unable to escape that explosion.

Frantically turning her focus back at Alvin. "Where is the location of the life signature?"

"B_behind us." Alvin whispered.

"That's impossible." Nix finally muttered.

"Nothing is impossible." A lazy voice casually said from behind them.

Nix stiffened up and without hesitation, she swiftly reached for her pocket, suddenly crushing a grey glass cube that was hidden inside it, not minding the pain from the broken glasses inflicting on her palm, while Fauce and the rest of the team turned pale.

Nix turned around slowly and with a weird laugh, she replied "I thought you already died."

Leaning on a large rock almost three meter tall, a 2 and a half meters tall young man could be seen folding his arms giving off a gentle impression.

But the waves and the air of savageness around him immediately crushed the image. He was like a bronze statue as he stood by beside the rock. Multiple blood vein patterns on his body.

His breathing rumbled like bull's, stirring up sand and dust. But strangely, some kind of force made everything silent.

"I'm not. I won't die before you do." Lucian's voice rumbled in the the from the rock.

"You should be honoured to witness my full strength but sadly, I intend to keep it a secret, so you must die."

Lucian casually said as he blasted the rock behind him apart. A scream could be heard from the distance. After which, no sound could be heard.

Someone had been there watching them the whole time.

Lucian didn't even glance at that direction but he stared down at the people below him.

"Oh, that goes for you guys too." immediately Lucian said that, Nix immediately shouted.

"Attack with your strongest moves immediately!"

The five people, Fauce included and Nix excluded immediately dashed at Lucian from all directions using different motion techniques with a strange battle formation.

Lucian burst out into laugher "Meaningless struggle." his bface turned expressionless and his eyes gave out a sneer of disdain and in that moment, he mined and Im the next second, he had appeared before Fauce.

Fauce wasn't intimidates and immediately shouted "Form on me." The rest of the team instantly flashed to the side, but by then, it was already too late.

Like a phantom, Lucian had already moved behind Fauce, on his hands was a blood dripping down his fingers. His hand was clutching a strange organ that had three large tubes by its sides and numerous tiny tubes attached to it.

The organ was beating, it was the heart of a human.

Behind Lucian, Fauce who had just shouted was immediately silenced and he glanced at the hole next to his heart with a blank expression.

He immediately fell to the ground. Even after he had died, he didn't even how he died.

"Fauce!!!" the remaining four people shouted in disbelief and in anger and they irrationally pounced at Lucian with different techniques.

"Flux Blast!"

"Heart killer!"

Lucian chuckled softly, licking his dried up lips he dropped the still beating and pumping organ to the floor with a thump as he gazed at the remaining people with a weird hunger in his eyes.

"Your turn."

It was a massacre. Lucian speed was just too fast and his attacks were quick and deadly.. It was basically a one hit kill.

Suddenly, there was a weird silence in that exact location after a few seconds.

But still, one could hear the sound breathing of someone in that silence. It was as though the person was scared. Like a little girl hiding from the monsters threatening to take her away.

Nix remained silent and hadn't moved a muscle, but face was beyond pale. What she had just witnessed was something that could have made a grown man faint in fear.

Her lips trembled imperceptibly and her eyes had since reddened as she tried to conceal and contain her horror.

If she hadn't witnessed it her self, she wouldn't have believed a fellow student could own this sort of strength. What kind of genius monster was he?

Lucian frowned softly, the blood on his hands was thick and blood. It would be quite difficult to wash them off without a decent bath.

Glancing at the multiple dead bodies around him, Lucian casually grabbed hold of a female corpse, stripped her of her shirt. After tossing the body sideways, Lucian used the cloth to thoroughly clean his hands off the thick black blood.

The corner of his eyes saw Nix was still standing in place. Lucian smiled as he wondered why she hadn't tried to run when she had the chance to.

But still, he didn't care one bit. Even if she ran, there was no way she could outrun him. He will surely find her wherever she went. She had no chance at escaping anyways.

Done with his things, Lucian stood up slowly and walked rhythmically towards her. A kind of evil smile graced his fearsome face while his more than 2 meters tall frame gave off murderous and savage waves.

The blood pattern all over his body and the muscles around his upper body that formed an armour on him. He looked just like a humanoid mutated monster.

Lucian walked step by step, calmly towards Nix, finally stopping half a meter from her.

"I see that you didn't run, why is that?" Lucian casually asked. He felt he would be too much of a villain if he just killed her without saying anything.

"Y-you, what exactly are you?" Nix stuttered before she took in a deep breath and finally managed to ask him.

"Me?" Lucian cocked his eye brows as he asked.

"I'm obviously human, what else would I be?" Lucian couldn't understand the rubbish the girl was spouting. Wasn't she supposed to beg for her life at this point?

Taking a deep breath, Nix strangely calmed down suddenly and although her face was pale she gained a bit of confidence as she felt the palm that was hidden deep in her pocket sting a little bit.

"It doesn't matter who you are, or what secret Technique you used, everything will be revealed once my Dad captures you. And with this evidence." Nix paused as she stared with a face of indifference at the five people lying on the ground dead, with blood pouring out of the hole in their chest.
