The Villain's Story-Chapter [542] Aura.(2)

The hands that had reduced the doorway to dust were an odd mix. They possessed human skin, dragon scales at the knuckles and the fingers and sharp talons for nails. The talons were perfectly suited, not too long, and not too short as well. A fist could easily be made without injury to the hands themselves. Furthermore, there was a golden string of light that permeated the hands and coursed through them, like a river.

The ivory mist that possessed the element of space seeped out, and in an instant covered the entire city, ignoring all natural laws. One moment it was in front of you...the other it was everywhere.

David backed up, and the golems readied their attacks. David had already begun activating the city's other major weapons as the owner of the hand stepped out.

The same configuration of the hands filled his entire body, It was bizarre, but at the same it was perfect. Talon's were present at his feet as well, but the rest of the body was mainly dragon and human. The only bird-like feature were the blue wings on his back, with a wingspan of 3 meters.

But setting all of those aside...was his chest.

The hole now that had an astral blue crystal in the center of it. Pieces of flesh and blood began to mend and fix the hole, however, it was a slow and tedious process.

Alan emerged fully, and his eyes cast a strange glow on all that surrounded him, all of which...were enemies.

David felt a sense of danger, instantly he ordered the golems to attack, and so they did. They threw the surrounding stones encased with mana towards the intruder. They possessed such great speed and power that even steel would crumble...yet Alan simply stayed still.

In a second, they approached him and seemed to crush him... But in the next second they crushed the golems that had thrown them. They were repelled at such a speed and power that the mighty golems were reduced to ash from a single stone.

"... What?"

Had his body not been enhanced by the bloodlines he consumed and his own mana coursing through it, he would have thought that the stones simply teleported back...but that was not it.

The stones didn't teleport, but changed direction. Just as they were about to enter a small radius around Alan, they turned. As if they were possessed, they turned around and instead of slowing down gained an increase of speed...as well as another energy that powered them as well.

"...!"

David felt like death was looming over him as Alan slowly turned his head to look towards him. In an instant, he started the activation of all the city's weapons and functions

Alan disappeared, and reappeared right in front of David. The surrounding giants were instantly turned into small pieces of compressed flesh, and his hand gripped David's head. His skull fractured, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets before David's figure disappeared.

He reappeared in front of the city gate, and clutched his head in pain. His eyes leaked blood and one was almost not in the socket... Casting numerous healing magic on himself in a short time, as well as using the items he had, he regained his former condition and jumped behind the army of giants that had come to save him. The ice giant statues down below also made their way upwards, sensing the threat.

He jumped towards the city walls and ordered.

"Buy time!"

But would they be able to? The giants ran towards Alan, but all he did was flap his wings. A Dozen's of feathers, each glowing with a golden light, flew out and ripped the army to shreds. In the span of a few seconds, the giants that had remained in the city were reduced to...a gory mess incapable of being described with words. They were already messed up but now? This was a whole new level!

The feathers flew towards David on the walls, until they clashed with an invisible wall.

Earlier, David's face paled when he saw the giants be reduced to mince meat, yet it suddenly flashed with hope when the city's ancient defense mechanisms arose. The shield that was created was simply the inner shield, that didn't allow anything to go outside, nor inside.

He sighed in relief as the large cannons on the city walls began to charge up, it took a second for them to be bathed in a red light. David took out a medallion from his bag and aimed it towards Alan, who still ominously stood in the same spot.

The cannons fired beams of red light, hot enough to melt a human city, towards him. There were four cannons, and their beams converged together...but before they could turn the intruder to ash. They were met with another beam.

The light pulsed like magma, and an ivory mist surrounded the beam. It instantly beat back the beam of the four cannons and destroyed one.

"... What the hell?!"

His face paled once again and the other three remaining cannons on his side of the wall fired once more, the others further away also charged up and did the same.

In all directions, red beams hot enough to melt steel in seconds appeared and cast the entire city a color of deep, scarlet.

The beams reached Alan and a deafening boom quaked out. Shaking the mountain with it. The ice giants finally reached the city and guarded David.

David waited for the fire to disperse and the smoke to disappear. He knew that although this attack was enough to injure or even kill an S-ranked beast...

The monster was still alive.

He just had a feeling, and so he charged up the cannons once more...and then the smoke dispersed. Not like wind had carried it away, but rather it was sucked into something...

David's eyes widened as he saw that Alan...was completely unharmed! Not a single blast had hit him! Scared, he used all the power left in the cannons to make them fire.

Once!

Twice!

Thrice!

Four times! Each cannon fired four beams in quick succession, and even the city was in chaos. The place where Alan stood was reduced to smithereens. The place where he was held captive was destroyed beyond recognition, and the cistern which held his mana had already distributed it to the city.

That part of the city...was in ruins. Although it was only a meager area...it was still shocking!

"Haha..."

With a defiant look on his face, one that also had arrogance and pride mixed in, he yelled in triumph.

"Haha! That's what you get, you scaled lizard freak!! This is the power of giants..."

However, his voice was subdued at the end...for he saw the same man he expected to be reduced to ash still in his original position, unharmed. And a second later, an unknown force split the cannons into multiple pieces.
