The Villain's Story Chapter [112]...A Different World[2]

Chapter [112]...A Different World[2]

I was ignorant.

No, it is much better to say I was stupid.

Because my memories of the novel are from Elijah's Point of View, the point of view of the character that had a literal system that was honestly even more overpowered than most other systems I'm other fantasy system type novels.

My entire memory of the novel was from his POV, which was why I had subconsciously fallen into the delusion that skills could only be learned by skills books or special rewards from the system.

And adding to this fact was that the novel never had any mention of the History the sword saint talked about.

I wonder if I was truly the richest man in my world at times.

...yeah?

But, I must agree that the sword saint proposed an interesting concept to me.

To learn a skill, perform a specific action repeatedly.

I wonder, how long will it take me to master [Mana Sense], especially with Mana Master at my disposal.

I took a deep breath and spread my mana to the farthest limits of the room calmly.

And immediately after I had done so, I condensed it as much as I could...and was greeted by a world of colors dominated by Red, Blue, Brown, Grey, and some others

'The individual Elements.'

I thought.

These vibrant colors belonged to the four basic elements of fire, water, earth, and air probably.

They were also the most abundant elements, so no surprise about me being able to see them in this world.

...

...

But they are annoying.

They disturb my view, filling it with unnecessary colors.

They make it hard for me to focus when so many colors are abundant.

'Begone.'

I thought as I made my mana spread out even more violently and push the other elements away from my area of influence.

And after I did that, I was greeted by a world of white, a world dominated by only a single color instead of multiple.

No, to say a single color would be wrong.

More like a world of darkness, outlined by white lines showing the organic and inorganic objects filled with their own and my mana.

The tiles on the floor, the bodies of the other people here, their position, their faces, all outlined by white lines.

'Interesting.'

I thought as I examined their faces, which were all different.

The lines on the face of the sword saint were wider as if his mouth was open.

The lines on Alex's and Lucas's faces are more defined. And on Olivia's face even more.

....wait a minute.

Defined? On their face?

Because they have a high Charm stat?

I need to check my own.

And so I did and lamented at the fact that I DID. For even in this world, I'm not considered breathtakingly handsome.

The lines on my face are slightly less defined than on their faces.

***

I dodged the attacks of Alex and Lucas respectively as I nimbly moved my feet

'It's quite hard to get used to.'

I thought to myself as I continued to dodge their attacks.

The sword saint had immediately demanded that we all spar, me with mana sense against all of them.

I do have to admit, it is quite hard to get used to the lines moving as they move.

It's as if their entire body structure changed simultaneously.

It was hard, but not that hard to dodge their attacks.

What I'm worried about is that the genius Olivia hasn't attacked.

Her intellect compares to Sabrina's at this stage of the Novel.

And it's very nerve-wracking when a genius is silently watching you, thinking of ways to defeat you.

And what's more, Alex and Lucas are keeping me occupied, so I can't even take the initiative to attack.

"His mana has completely dominated this entire area."

I heard the voice of the sword saint as I continued to dodge their attacks, and also landed a jab on Alex's face.

Followed by a straight at Lucas's.

"WHY ARE YOU AIMING FOR OUR FACES ALL THE TIME?!"

I heard Lucas shout and just showed him my middle finger.

"Uncle, can you tell me if my rapier is also dominated by his mana?"

I then heard the One who I was wary of asking her uncle a question.

"Yes, it is."

"How about now?"

"Oh, you've pushed his mana out by using your own, but it still won't work, he can still see it."

Olivia didn't respond again and just rushed at me.

I immediately ignored Alex and Lucas and put all my attention on her.

She charged at me with blinding speeds, my attention on her rapier.

And it was then when she was close.

Her weapon released a burst of her mana...and completely disappeared from my sight.

'What the heck?!'

I thought, her body moved but I couldn't see where her weapon was!

And before I knew it, I felt the sharp sensation of a blade on my neck.

"So mana sense can't detect objects devoid of mana at all, huh."

I heard her voice which sent chills down my spine.

...

....

And then, I saw the white lines occupy her blade again...and immediately realized what she just did.

She used her mana to occupy her weapon, pushing mine out. And When she was about to attack, she released her mana as a sort of explosion, making her weapon empty of mana for a few seconds.

And to top it off, that explosion of her mana clashed with my mana, stopping it from occupying her blade quickly...which was why I could not see it.

'd.a.m.n you geniuses.'

I cursed her in my mind.

Who the h.e.l.l thinks of that kind of strategy?

And while I was momentarily surprised by her attack.

Alex's swords stopped right on my neck.

While my face was smashed with Lucas's mace.

"Hah! how does it feel to get hit in the face n-?!"

He could not finish his sentence because I kicked him hard enough to make him vomit blood and go flying.

I opened my eyes, exiting the world of Mana Sense, and was greeted by Olivia's's Shocked expression as she looked at my face.

'... he's not even injured by a full-on blow from a mace?'

Olivia thought in her mind.

She then turned her attention towards Lucas who was unconscious and lying in a small pool of blood being examined by the Sword Saint.

She quickly made a small note to herself.

Never take on Alan Peccator's Kicks head on
