Why Should I Stop Being a Villain

444  Fall and Rise - XV

After all during the last two years in World Academy, they were the very same people that pointed fingers at her.

The very faces that laughed at her, harmed her, mocked her existence. And in her current condition, just looking at them was enough to increase the hatred that was hidden inside her.

In that moment alone, Alyssa's killing intent started increasing as she floated in the air.

"Who is that?"

"Where is the boss monster?"

"What's happening?"

The only person who knew what was happening here was Alan and he knew that the masked person floating before them was Alyssa.

'Now, I can finally deal with her for good,' Alan thought in his mind.

'Now the rules of the academy won't save you,' Alan smiled as he gripped his sword.

In the World Academy Alan used various means to torment Alyssa, from pushing her down to throwing books towards her, he carefully used the hatred people had toward Alyssa to his benefit and instigated others to do the same.

'Thanks Leon, I will use this opportunity well,' Alan thought.

But little did he know, he was merely a pawn that was moving as Leonard wanted without knowing what lies ahead.

"This person looks suspi-," Alan was about to say something as they felt killing intent from the masked person that was in the air.

Wearing a hooded robe, and a black mask and exuding killing intent directed toward them, all of them were trained hunters, and in such a situation it was clear without Alan telling them.

The person floating in the air before them was an enemy they must face.

All of them flared their mana, as they could feel the mana of the masked person before them.

"At highest, he is a B Rank, let's work together and face him," One of them said out loud as he used his mana.

Due to the robe, they mistook Alyssa as a man but his words made Alan frown as he didn't know the enhancer given to Alyssa would be that effective.

'It's a false rank anyway, we can deal with it,' Alan thought in his head.

Alan charged his aura and just like other weapons users did the same as they propelled toward Alyssa who was in the air.

But the next instant they felt a huge pressure on their bodies as they fell on the ground.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

"WHAT?"

Alan himself was on the ground as he felt the pressure of the gravity magic that he never felt before.

It didn't even come close to what Alyssa could use when he faced her previously.

'What's happening?'

He thought not knowing that the enhancer given to Alyssa wasn't a normal one.

'Wasn't the plan to defeat her quickly while taking a few injuries and killing her,' Alan thought as he tried to stand up.

But something seemed wrong, from the Red Gate to the Alyssa he was facing.

"Hey!" Alan shouted in anger.

"Use your damn magic!" Alan looked back.

The mages standing there didn't like Alan's attitude but they had no choice but to obey his order.

In a situation they were facing an unknown enemy, it was better to maintain their teamwork.

And soon they began chanting, Alyssa's eyes drifted toward the students standing at the entrance.

Soon she felt multiple fireballs coming her way as she instinctively dodged them,

Her killing intent started increasing, as her eyes became cold and dull as she used gravity magic to stop multiple spells coming her way.

"What the hell?"

"My spell stopped?"

The amount of mana in her body right now was overwhelming her mana core, and it allowed her to use all these spells but still it wasn't enough to stop all the spells.

BAM!

Not all spells could be blocked as some of them made their way around, but it wasn't Alyssa that was hit by it.

A film of thick ice that was formed in an instant like a barrier took the hit and shattered, cancelling the effects of the fire spells.

But using ice magic, lifted the gravity effect on Alan and others as they charged their auras and jumped toward Alyssa.

She used the gravity magic again but this time to repel them, but their aura was resisting her magic, but still it was enough to overwhelm them.

Despite having the enhancer, the students she was facing were the best among all students.

That's why Alan wasn't worried even though the Dungeon turned into a Red Gate.

But there was one big difference that neither Alan nor Leonard accounted for.

Alyssa was incapable of using mana properly before her mana heart even formed. Her body was highly damaged that even a normal life was impossible for her.

But whatever this drug that Leonard prepared for her, it worked like a pseudo cure, or it appeared to work like a cure.

A large amount of mana that was rushing towards her mana heart, it directly allowed her to use the spells despite the damaged mana veins.

Right now, Alyssa's mind was overwhelmed with the voices so she wasn't even aware of what she was doing.

"Lance," Alyssa muttered as multiple ice lances started forming.

"Propel, Rotate," She started chanting multiple gravity spells.

Despite not being able to use many spells due to her limits, Alyssa didn't stop studying about both ice and gravity magic.

And right now, when her mana seemed far greater than she should have at C Rank, she could use all of them.

"Huh, she thinks her magic would do anything," Alan mocked Alyssa as she jumped towards her but his eyes went wide as he saw the lances go past. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

SLASH! SLASH!

Although most of the lances were dodged but some of them were enhanced by Alyssa's gravity magic.

He glanced back and he saw two of lances, one had impaled an arm, and the other was stuck in the leg.

"My arm..." The student that got impaled muttered.

"ARGHHHHH," The other shouted.

Suddenly Alan's confident face changed as he realised that the situation wasn't like what he imagined.

But it was too late for him to notice it.

"Hey, focus we can charge at him-," The one student who spoke felt a spike emerge through his stomach as he looked at the ground below him.

The broken shards of ice came together and formed a spike that impaled his stomach.

His arms and legs started shaking before he could even get another word out.

"Dammit, don't move," One of them shouted as he used his sword to break the ice.

"Give me a potion," He shouted as one of them took out a potion.

"Cover him!" Another shouted.

Alan jumped down as he looked at Alyssa and clenched his fist.

He couldn't help but feel the intense killing intent coming from Alyssa, the same weak girl that he had knocked out easily.

Someone that was supposed to be weak and crippled was inducing fear in his heart as he looked at his hand that was gripping his sword and it was shaking.

Alan looked up as he saw hundreds of lance forming, as his facial expressions changed.

From the one who was hunting, to being hunted. Their positions were changed and there was nothing Alan could do now.

All the lances rained down on them as all of them scattered but some of them still got injured.

"Hey, can we even defeat him?"

"Dammit, I shouldn't have entered this dungeon,"

Fear, anger, frustration, all of them could feel such emotions stir inside them.

The fact they were facing an unknown enemy, but knowing that they could die, all of the teamwork they had broke off in an instant.

The fear of dying, or getting injured in a situation like this they weren't sure they could trust each other with their lives.

"Hey, maintain the damn formation you fuc**rs," Alan shouted.

Alyssa on the other hand was lifted her hand up as she bought it down making even more lances rain on them.

"I will kill all of you...just like they killed my family," Alyssa muttered.

Outside the Dungeon, in the Royal City.

"About time, they would confront her," Leonard muttered.

"I guess it will be an interesting experience for him," A smile erupted on his face.

"Well, for a such a great plan, a few sacrifices are needed," Leonard said to himself.

***

At the same time, a car stopped and a person stepped out of it.

"So this is the Royal Capital," Asher muttered.

A city that was full of life, something that didn't exactly suit him.

Asher looked at the last message he received and it was from Damian who invited him as he was going to meet Amelia.

But he ignored that message, it wasn't a place for him because he knew what Damian wanted, it was better if he didn't go.

"It will only make things worse," Asher said to himself.

Putting the phone aside, Asher moved in the opposite direction of the city as touched his ID Bracelet and opened the map.

Moving along the outskirts of the Royal Capital, Asher reached the lake and sat on the empty bench.
