The Villain's Story Chapter [156]Mirror World.

Chapter [156]Mirror World.

As soon as Ezra had said those words, the world had stopped.

Wind, all one could see was wind enveloping the battlefield and then forming a circular prison.

The move had instantly canceled out Glacial Collapse and now no one would know what was happening inside the wind blockade.

The audience was now left even more shocked.

Everyone except Logan...was in awe.

Domain Expansion...Ezra had become able to do it?!

Since When?

And How?!

Logan, in the midst of this, was gritting his teeth.

'... I've underestimated the spatial brat.'

To think Ezra would be forced to use Domain Expansion...something that could only be used by a handful of people on Earth.'

"Cut the footage."

He silently ordered an agent from Behemoth, who moved swiftly.

'I'll also have to prevent any leakage of this fight to the major public now...s.h.i.t.'

Of course, the big shots would know now, but at least the public wouldn't.

He would prevent the public from knowing at all costs.

Logan's temper was livid.

To think the brat could force Ezra to Use Domain Expansion...

s.h.i.t...he better copy that art now.

***

Domain Expansion is an extremely powerful earned skill...

The power to question the world, to enforce your will upon it.

To enforce your ideals, your thoughts, your qualities...the very ideas and things that define you.

To enforce it upon the world, becoming a monarch within your own domain.

There were many ways to gain Domain Expansion.

Either you would have a surefire way of gaining the skill upon reaching 50% comprehension in your element.

Or rather be talented enough to have such a powerful will and ideal that even the world bends before it.

The former way would give you a domain related to your element.

One that infused your element with your will, and enforced it on the world.

Whilst the latter would be you only.

No one could tell what was happening inside the domain of wind.

Either it could be a domain of wind, or it could be something entirely else.

The only one who would know would be the poor soul that was subjected to it.

(Alan Peccator PoV]

Where am I?

The world is...strange.

Everywhere I look, I see myself, looking at another me, looking at another me, and so on.

So confusing.

Up, Down, Left, Right, Forward, Back.

Everywhere I look, I see myself.

In this world...all I see is myself.

No... it's as if there are multiple mirrors around me, and mirrors inside the mirrors.

My every movement is being displayed.

'...so this is his domain Expansion.'

I thought as I examined my mind.

How fitting, The copycat has a world of mirrors.

A world filled with mirrors, where he can perfect the things he has copied.

Well, I don't think he uses this world for that anyway.

Ezra Fornum, very rarely trains.

"It is an interesting domain."

Ara.n.u.s commented inside my head.

"How did he achieve it at such a young age?

It took me even longer to achieve mine...well mine is levels above."

Is he praising himself or Ezra?

I ignored him whilst I tried to feel the mana in the domain.

'hmm...'

It's harder to control, but still manageable.

"Be careful, you don't know any attributes this domain possesses, For all we know, he could be anywhere, copying us."

Ara.n.u.s warned as I put even more mana under my control.

And it was then...that the reflections around me started to move.

They changed, now resembling Ezra.

And then, Dozens...no hundreds of Ezra Charged at me.

All at once.

****

[Ezra Fornum PoV]

I steadied my breathing as my eyes focused on the figure of Alan Peccator fighting all the mirror illusions by himself.

With brute strength and his lance, he fought them all off.

Despite the injuries acc.u.mulating on his body.

Despite all the wounds, despite everything, he still kept at it.

What tenacity, I must say.

No matter, all I need is for him to hold on.

[Your Understanding of A****** S****[?] increases]

A and S

The initials have been unlocked, now I just need to observe him more.

I have already grasped the first movement, the stance, the way to hold your spear, the way to unleash it.

What I have not grasped yet is the flow of mana.

Well, I will do it after a while, no need to fret.

I just need him to endure for as long as he can and show me more.

More.

And more.

Until you have nothing more left to show.

Until I have seen everything.

I will make you suffer in this world.

In my...Mirror World.

***

They swarmed me, from every direction.

Like ants swarming a larger predator, they attacked in droves.

Shaving away my strength, my power...my health.

But still...no matter how many wounds I suffer.

I need to keep fighting.

For Samantha's cure.

For my sister's cure.

"Cou-Cough!"

Even if I cough blood, I can't fall.

Even if they multiply a thousandfold...I must not fall.

I have my responsibilities as a bigger brother.

And if all else fails...I have one more trump card.

Even though it might wreck me, I can still use it.

"I don't recommend it, you won't be able to handle it."

I listened to Ara.n.u.s's worries as I ripped the head of an Ezra.

I followed it by slicing a few more in half.

But they just kept coming.

From Everywhere

And I was being buried inside, as their spears drove inside my body.

"HAH!"

I released my mana in the form of an explosion, sending all the Ezra that had buried me alive flying.

I coughed blood, and my body blended it.

Nearly every part of it is bleeding.

If not for the fact that I am a dragon, and possess the bloodline of the Phoenix, I would have long fallen.

"Ara.n.u.s...im planning on using it...I can count on you right?"

I asked him, but he still showed his worry.

"I won't be able to end the fight so quickly, the best I can do with your body at that state is destroy this domain."

As I heard Ara.n.u.s, I gave my idea some thought and answered.

"That *Cough!* will be enough."

....

*Bam!*

....

if Ezra has Domain Expansion, I have my trump card.

One that I couldn't use or test out when I first got it.

One that I was infuriated at was the fact that I couldn't use it when I got it.

But now?

This body of mine is stronger and more durable.

If it can break this domain, I'm happy about it.

*Slice!*

*Swish.*

I smiled as I got ready to use my trunk card.

"...sigh."

Ara.n.u.s sighed as if he had now confirmed that I would indeed be using it because of my smile.

I do like to f.u.c.k with my body over and over again.

I wonder how much time will be in a hospital this time.

Nonetheless, the pressure from all of these Ezra's is too much.

I sent then flying by another wave of mana, and then prepared the mana to execute my trump Card.

And with my mouth, I said the words that would soon destroy this Domain.

"Possession."

[Possession has been Activated.]

[The soul of Ara.n.u.s, The Dragon of Oblivion and Extinction, enters the vessel.]
