The Villain's Story Chapter [462] Kazikato Versus Alexander[3]

Chapter 462 [462] Kazikato Versus Alexander[3]

Fierce winds accompanied by thunder and a strange gray energy collided with a black ma.s.s, that imitated the Thunder and wind, and defeated them quite easily. However, it struggled to do so against the gray mana.

"What is that?!"

Kazikato inquired, as he dodged a thunderbolt, barely avoiding it. However, the static electricity did make his hair all frizzy.

"d.a.m.n it!"

Kazikato, in a fit of rage stomped on the ground once again, however, one again, it did not do much to hinder Alexander. The stage was now in pieces, merely a glimpse of its former self, perhaps even less.

"Come on!"

Alexander yelled, as he appeared behind Kazikato to attack. Kazikato turned around, ready to face him, but Alexander was nowhere to be found. He had already moved from behind him and was now in front. Kazikato, puzzled, was unable to block the attack by himself.

However, the death mana in the surroundings moved as if it had a mind of its own and protected him from the attack.

It burst into spikes, and Alexander jumped back, barely avoiding them. He was trying his best to not let even a single attack of Kazikato hit him, lest he would decay until he could no longer fight, maybe even?die.

'What is that mana...?'

Kazikato wondered again, trying to gain a moment of respite to process whatever that gray mana Alexander used was. It was a strange type of mana he had never seen before, and didn't think belonged to any element... But it was fighting against his death energy on equal terms.

And, this came as quite a shock. Death, was a higher element than most, losing only to s.p.a.ce and time, it trumped all the four basic elements and their derivates. The only equals it had, to Kazikato's knowledge were Life, chaos and fate.

But of course, the element was never the deciding factor, the one who used it and their affinity with it was.?You could have an amateur of the element of time go against a master of the element of fire, well, not even a master, but a seasoned individual could still beat the former.

[Don't blame the element for it.]

Ariel said, reprimanding Kazikato when he was just about to say his element was weak.

"d.a.m.n it,"

He cursed, as he prepared a defensive wall around him, this was to give him time to form bone armor around himself.

[Use dragon eyes.]

Ariel suggested, but Kazikato denied.

"No, it hurts, and boss says it makes you weak."

[...]

Ariel was dumbfounded, Since Kazikato was still a 'baby' dragon. He would suffer some pain with prolonged use, but it was nothing compared to what Alan faced. Each dragon's eyes had their own power, and special abilities they would unlock once they become of age, however, early manifestations were quite common. And, what was also common was strength of the dragon eyes.

Alan had extremely strong eyes, eyes that even Ariel had a hard time figuring, this was the main reason he suffered when using them. He was simply not ready, not suitable for them. Kazikato on the other hand was much better, not only could he use them for a prolonged period, but he would also suffer less pain.

And Ariel knew what he said later was utter bulls.h.i.+t. Alan only told him that because he was jealous. She was there, so she knew it.

The problem was, Kazikato was loyal to a fault. Which was great quality, but in situations like these it was utterly horrible.

Ariel also knew that she couldn't convince him to start using them.

"I'll use them when I need to."

He said, and finished making a bone armor around his body. It was like the standard medieval plate armor, which covered most of his body except his joints and some other areas. It was just a bit 'more' gothic or death style, which just meant it was more terrifying or dragon-like.

There were also blades on multiple parts of the body, a precaution Kazikato came up with to deal with Alexander.

Alexander, looking at the bone armor that covered Kazikato now was hesitant. However, he took a deep breath and raised his swords.

'Again...'

Kazikato thought, as he saw the weird gray mana envelop Alexander's swords once again, a second later, they were catapulted towards him with great speed in the form of crescent waves.

[Weapon Skill: Cursed Sweep has been used.]

Kazikato responded with his own skill, but grimaced as he found it to be useless. The gray mana appeared...to eat his own?

[Null type.]

"Huh?"

Kazikato wondered, hearing Alice's voice made him faze out for a bit, which gave Alexander the time to rush in and cut Kazikato. The cuts were quite deep and left his armor in a mess. Kazikato regenerated it soon after.

'That's right!'

He exclaimed in his mind, Ariel should have some idea about it! She was as old as time itself!

[Don't mention a lady's age like that brat.]

She said, angered.

'Please?'

Begged Kazikato, trying to get her to give him an explanation, or rather anything about that strange mana.

[It's the Null mana, even I have seen it only a dozen times.]

Answered Ariel, this came as a shock to Kazikato. Ariel, who was as old as time itself had only seen the element about a dozen times? Wouldn't that make it rarer than anything?

'What can it do?'

[It is absence.]

'Huh?'

Kazikato failed to understand, which prompted Ariel to continue.

[It is without an affinity, a mana devoid of an element. And because of that, it yearns for it. It is not a proper element, more like an unstable one, which is why is strives to become a stable element like the rest. And because of this, it's highly reactive and devours other elements which have less mana than it. Well, devour isn't the right term. I should have rather said a.s.similate or absorb. It's absorbs the element, and disappears once it has become that element.]

"... So it's just something that's eating my mana?"

[Yes, be careful of that user of it as well.]

"Do the user's have special abilities?"

[No, but all the user's of the Null Element I know of were heinous criminals that used it to end civilizations, Null, the more it is used, corrodes the mind in stranger ways than Chaos and Darkness.]

"Ok..."

[Be careful.]

She said, and Kazikato, now with a more in depth understanding of the element he was facing, rushed on ahead. Covering his body in a great amount of mana. If it could only eat mana in greater quant.i.ty...didn't he just have to use his enormous reserves to overwhelm Alexander?

Yes, that was a good plan!

It was proven once Alexander stepped back and ran away when Kazikato approached him, clad in a monstrous amount of mana. Alexander, being a human could not compete with it and retreated.

Dragon's did possess the most mana after all. No race, not even the G.o.d beast's could compare to them when it came to whoever had the most energy!

"Why are you running?!"

Asked Kazikato as he continued his pursuit, Alexander could do nothing but run away in such a small s.p.a.ce.

To be honest, both of them were already disqualified at this point, they were running all around the stadium grounds, the stage built for them in the center had already been destroyed. They had been out of bounds for quite a while.

[I should be declaring the end of this match...]

Mumbled the host, but when he looked at the crowd cheering for the fight to continue, as well as all the big shots looking at it with interest. He decided it was not worth it. The crowd would eat him alive if he declared such a fantastic match to be over. And if he survived the executives would do it for them.

[Haha...rules are meant to be broken...]

He said, bursting out in a cold sweat as he looked at the fight reaching its peak. Alexander was busy running around, chucking a few attacks at Kazikato, which were futile.

Kazikato was chasing him, encased in a deathly orb of Mana. It was a game of cat and mouse at this point, and the crowd was astonished. They didn't expect Alexander to last this long against Kazikato...and to give them such an entertaining duel as well!

Some were excited and some were worried. The ones who were worried were the ones who had bet on Kazikato defeating Alexander. This notion of thought was getting overturned pretty soon. As Alexander was proving himself to be a worthy adversary.

But who knows? Alexander may not be all that. He may just tire out, or even fall due to one attack, he had been avoiding all of Kazikato's attacks for a while. Maybe he was a gla.s.s cannon? The public was led to believe...but...

Suddenly, the game of cat and mouse ended as Alexander did a full one eighty-degree turn and dived straight towards the black ball that Kazikato was in. Betraying everyone's predictions once again.
