The Villain's Story Chapter [539] I am more.

Chapter 539 [539] I am more.

?The battle outside raged on with utter ferocity, Richard and Logan fought David, and although they may have the advantage in numbers, it was clear that they were losing.

Slowly but surely, they were being pushed back, furthermore, when David slammed his scepter into the ground, the numerous ice giants that were presumed to be statues began to move.

They began attacking the human forces, and slowly they were being forced down the mountain. Quite a few in a state difficult to describe with mere words.

However, Richard and Logan still had not ordered a retreat.Whilst Richard was mostly being driven by his emotions, Logan was driven by a certainty.

He knew the reinforcements were coming, and knew what kind they were as well.

Therefore, he presses forth with utter ferocity, refusing to back down and tried his best to buy time.

The reinforcements were none other than the legendary sage and the sword saint! He knew victory would be certain once they got here.

David was also able to sense that they were trying to buy time, but he simsimply didn't care. He was of the opinion that no matter what reinforcements came, the defenses of the city would be enough to thwart them.

In the past, he would have never though this... But now that he had the ma.s.sive reserves of Mana extracted from Alan... He was confident.

"Trying to buy time?! "

David pressed on. Logan's chest was caved in and one of Richards arms were in a bad shape.

David had not even been forced to use the city's defences at all! He alone was enough to take them on.

These were the leaders of powerful factions back on Earth and yet here he was, toying with them.

He unleashed a manager blast that blew Logan off the city walls and sent him tumbling down the mountain.

Richard gasped for breath and asked.

"What... The h.e.l.l is that scepter?"

His voice was a mixture of shock and incredulity, it was as if he refused to believe whatever was happening was real.

He knew the real strength of this man, and even the long period of his absence wouldn't have garnered him this much... power.

He knew the secret lay within that specter! But then how could he wield it if it was so powerful...?

David merely laughed and stretched his hand holding the scepter outward. Richard scanned it with his skills numerous times, but each time nothing was visible.

It was as if he did not qualify to glance upon its information.

"See this?"

David continued, enjoying the state he had brought Richard to, he knew he could kill him easily now.

"It's not really the scepter that is special but the crystal... Take a good look at it Richard. Remind you of something?"

He waited for an answer, even a vague one but none came. Richard didn't really know what the crystal was.

He had guessed it was a concentrated mana crystal, like the one Sabrina possessed that was enabling his foe to be capable of these feats but... Never could he have guessed that it was actually Alan's heart...

"Still don't get it?"

David, relishing in his confusion, taunted him more and more until he finally revealed the truth.

"It's the heart of the one you came to save."

Back in the chamber, The two guards were almost sleeping, their time to have fun had pa.s.sed since the dragon in front of them was dead.

However, a sudden tremor suddenly woke them up. They pondered whether they should go help their brothers and sisters. Due to their limited intelligence, they were unable to talk and communicated with one another with the help of gestures.

In the end, they decided to take a rest and went to sleep. They trusted their brothers and sisters outside and their leader, as well as the weapons that resided within their city. Ancient technology used by their ancestors.

Therefore, with all those a.s.surances, they simply went to sleep. The giant on the left went to asleep much faster, but the giant on the right had trouble falling asleep.

And that was when he saw a man dressed in a long black robe holding a black blade standing behind the corpse of the dragon.

"Awu?"

He muttered a weird sound, to display his confusion. Alarmed, he rose up. Wielding his weapon in one hand he approached the man and thrust his spear where his heart should be.

But the man was like mist, and the spear went right through him, not harming him at all.

The giant heard a voice, and he shivered.

"The Phoenix of rebirth truly did save your life...and bestow upon you that which you yearned for."

Alarmed, he tried to wake up his brother, but the man disappeared...and a blue flame erupted forth which turned him to ash in but a second!

The fire was not without sound, and the giant that was asleep waked up. However, he found that he was alone and no trace of his brother was present. Even the ash that was formed had suddenly disappeared...

Startled, he stood up and thought that maybe his brother went outside. Walking towards the door, he began to open it until...he froze.

His heart began to beat with increased speed, and the pores in his body opened, and gooseb.u.mps were present throughout. He was shaking, and the reason for it, he was unaware of.

What was the reason...?

The giant wondered, but no one was there to answer him. He turned around and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the corpse of the dragon lay there unmoving.

And it was exactly at that moment, that his heightened senses heard the sound of breathing.

He looked back at the dragon, and with a shocked look on his face, went close.

His ears picked up on the sound of breathing, however...at that point he realized one thing.

The chains that bound Alan...were suddenly not on him anymore! It was as if his body had phased through them!

Afraid, he stabbed his spear towards Alan's head...but it phased right through him!
