The Villain's Story Chapter [426] A fight against yourself, with your strengths but not with your limitations.

Chapter 426 [426] A fight against yourself, with your strengths but not with your limitations.

Chaos.

As soon as I heard that word, my body froze. My mind was shocked as all I could see was a bright, purple light shrouding my vision.

My body reacted out of instinct, twisting itself in order to put the spear in front of me, blocking the attack.

Well, at least it tried.

"Chaos, Chaotic Storm."

The clone's voice was all I heard as I was sent flying by the onslaught of chaotic mana it just unleashed. I could not even see the skill it struck me with properly due to the close range. All I knew was…

It was all purple, and very strong.

My body was sent flying, littered with wounds that stung for a while but disappeared soon after/

Whilst the Ame-No-Sakahoko had shielded me somewhat from the skill, it did not mean I was unharmed.

The skill still managed to deal quite a significant bit of damage to me.

"Ugh…"

As I stood up, I let out a groan of pain. The pain from the skill had suddenly disappeared.

I raised my head to look at the other me, his figure now shrouded with a dark purple hue.

The voice of the tower resounded in my ears, and I clicked my tongue.

[Did I not tell you? It has all your strengths…

But none of your limitations.]

************

Chaos. It was the element of the abyss and demons and it was also…

The element one with Ara.n.u.s, the original owner of the vessel I am currently in.

Chaos was the element Ara.n.u.s was gifted with, and he was so gifted in it that there was none who could compete with him in regard to the element. It was 'one with him.'

This vessel was originally the vessel of the king, the supreme, the primordial being of chaos. The demon who had brought the entire universe to its knees… was Ara.n.u.s.

Not only was he extremely gifted in it, but with the help of the Abyss, the progenitor and the home realm of the chaos element…he had grown so strong that only a very few could stand against him, and even then only for a while, none could truly beat him.

The vessel I am in…is the body of that being.

The true lord of Chaos, the demon truly one with it. The body is most perfect for it.

"..."

Even though I possessed the affinities of frost and s.p.a.ce, they could never compare with chaos!

Even though the rank of the Frost affinity I possessed due to James was of the same rank…It could never compete with an element like chaos! It could never be!

Frost and chaos may have the same affinity ranks…But the cold harsh truth was.

In this body, chaos reigned supreme, over everything!

Ara.n.u.s's body was the strongest…and I could not utilize even 10% of it's true potential,simply because…

I could not utilize chaos, lest I risk the threat of the abyss swallowing me whole. If even Ara.n.u.s could hardly resist the abyss…what could I do?

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha advises you to be careful!]

Warned Lanesha, I was trying my best to figure out what I could do.

[Are you afraid?]

The tower's voice suddenly resounded in my head. I cursed at it in my mind.

'...f.u.c.ker.'

I looked at the other me, slowly walking towards me, laughing in its triumph.

I coughed up blood.

'...s.h.i.t, My ribs…'

I cursed, a few of my ribs had cracked. My internal organs are bleeding as well.

d.a.m.n it…

[Are you afraid?]

"Are you afraid?"

The tower and the other me said at the same time, and I stood up.

Afraid?

Yeah, I am somewhat afraid.

But that doesn't mean anything, it's not like I will just accept it…

Never.

"You are not afraid?"

I heard the other me speak once again, I wiped the black blood from my mouth and answered.

"No."

It smiled. I had to admit…that smile was terrifying when it was coming from someone encased in a deep purple hue. The power of chaos is making it seem scary.

[Supreme dragon of Frost Lanesha urges you to be careful.

'Yeah…I know.'

I replied to Lanesha and waited for the clone to make its move. I can't risk attacking it right now.

I don't know whether the chaos mana it is exuding can cause a reaction with my own body.

The attack it struck me with earlier didn't…But I would like to not take chances.

However, Lanesha calmed me down.

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha says that the chaos it is using is fake, it perfectly copies the attributes, but will not cause the abyss to notice you.]

"...Really?"

I almost let out a smile because of this information.

'Good…'

I thought, relieved. If I don't have to worry about that I am not completely helpless.

"I will make you afraid."

The other me said, and I did not answer back, I just prepared myself for the next series of attacks.

Since it is me, I can expect what it would do…I just have to think of what I would have done if I was using the element of chaos.

"I will make you feel fear!"

After shouting those words, it launched itself at me, disregarding the Ame-no-sakahoko copy it possessed.

With the power of chaos augmenting its body, I could barely see the other me. I hurriedly raised my hands and caught its fist. I had covered my fists in a layer of frost just in case…but the ice shattered helplessly against the power the other I had.

"Ugh!"

I let out a groan of pain, as the chaotic energy it possessed covered my hands and split into sharp, spiraling blades that ripped my skin and flesh apart.

"Are you afraid?!"

It laughed and drove me back to a corner, and I could do nothing against the monstrous strength it possessed. I was using all the mana I had to augment my body using the elements I could use.

But…it was nothing against the other me, who was using chaos to augment his strength.

I am losing in a bout of strength…
