In My Favorite Novel As The Final Villain

The bones in his arms snapped in two, causing Theos to recoil. Incredibly, he was only held steady by the momtum of his wings and feet.

"What did you just say?", face darked and solemn, Theos asked his words as cold as ice itself.

"Hahahahahahah... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA", but what he received in reply was a grotesque laugh, the flesh in the subject's head laughing maniacally out of control.

"You..." Veins bulged from Theos' forehead, his grip on the Death Fragmt increased further, and his teeth clched in anger.

Neither Ark, let alone Theos, angered him more than anything else. He was called weak, proving incredibly frustrating.

Completely ignoring the pain of his injuries, Theos stubbornly pressed on.

"It's useless," for the first time the subject spoke directly from his mouth, his voice causing Theos to flinch slightly.

A Master's Mana spread throughout the room, making Theos shrink more and more under this power.

"What do you have to say?" the locally laughing flesh asked, its mocking laughter echoing throughout the room, but to Theos, it fell on deaf ears.

"I'm going to win... I'm going to win."

"I'm going to win"

"I'm going to win!"

Repeatedly Theos mumbled the same words over and over meaninglessly, but still cringing from the curse mana.

"And how are you going to win? -Before the Curse could taunt any further, Theos' negative Mana countered the Curse's Mana, slowly gaining the upper hand in Mana's dominance.

Without realizing it, Theos's mind was going crazy and sinister, his desire to win had transcded to another meaning....

"I'm not going to win," he said, looking at him with his crimson eye and a mad smile, a smile of satisfaction and ecstasy. "I will destroy you from this world, vanish from existce itself," he declared.

Suddly, runic s were spreading all over Theos' body: his arm, the tire left side of his chest, and part of his neck were covered by runic s that glowed with intsity a crimson color.

Theos' muscles grew slightly, possibly due to the great accumulation of power, a violt blast of intse Mana hit directly towards the curse that could not resist it, sding it flying.

*Boom!

The curse was embedded in the wall, the same way Theos was, making a parallel.

"Doesn't feel good, does it? Hahahahahahahha!" laughing madly, Theos wasted no time propelling himself towards the curse with a weapon in hand, performing a horizontal slash.

The horizontal slash hit nothing but air, but it was so fast and full of Mana that an equally powerful slash of Mana was created from there, heading into the curse.

"Very predictable," said the mass of flesh, the Curse broke free from the concrete wall, dodging Theos' attack.

*Boom*

A deep crack was left in the wall from the impact of the Mana, but the Curse paid not the slightest atttion to it, running all of its all-red Mana just like Theos to boost its physical abilities.

'Negative Mana', Theos guessed, but not feeling the slightest fear... Instead, he felt excitemt and satisfaction knowing that the fight was going to get more intse.

"Let's get this over with already," the black-haired man said, again going against the curse that awaited him with a fighting stance.

*Boom*

Again, the death shard and the curse fist collided.

* Boom *

* Boom *

* Boom *

The attacks wt on and on, again and again. Theos swung his sword against the curse, which answered it with equal power.

The two were equal, Theos with Physical Path, his negative ergy, and for some reason, his mark gave him more power, but he still couldn't overcome the curse that contained the two Mana, the normal and the negativee,e, plus with the sturdy body of the cult leader.

"We're at a stalemate," muttered Theos, this time, releasing another type of Mana... Death Mana, the variant of the negative Mana that despite not being as strong as this one, still added a plus to Theos' power.

But the reason for activating Death Mana wt beyond just boosting his physical power. He had practiced that kind of Mana for a week and had already made significant progress...

And he achieved a new ability.

"Underworld" he uttered, the black Mana of death conctrated on his weapon, which trembled uncontrollably at the utterance of a single word.

The battlefield suddly changed to a stage that gradually became completely dark, like... A domain.

[It has be activated...]

[It has be activated...]

Theos completely ignored the system announcemts, directing only his atttion to the curse in front of him who was looking at the new battlefield with confusion.

"What is this?" the curse asked with confusion and curiosity.

"This is...," Theos smiled politely trying to explain his ability, but suddly swung his weapon to launch an attack that caught the emy off guard.

Curse tried to dodge, but still received a deep cut to his chest.

"Did you think I was going to explain my skill in combat? Are you two years old?" Theos asked with amusemt, th disappeared into the darkness of the domain.

The next momt, the dark hands grabbed the curse's body, more than a hundred hands trying to hold its body and separate each limb, but the curse struggled desperately.

"Die at once, despite being much stronger than me; if you had spt a day alive, you would possibly defeat me with two moves, but currtly, only, that is not the case," Theos explained, and, looking down from above at the curse writhing from the hundreds of hands covering it.

"Oblivion," chanted Theos, his left eye glowing brightly; from his mind, he made an order... 'Forget your life for a few seconds,' he commanded, causing the curse for a brief momt to roll its eyes.

"Now!" shouted Theos, heading into the shadows of the darkness; hidd there, was Luna with a large spear 3 meters long and with a large amount of Mana that she recharged, ev negative Mana that boosted the power.

"Yes," Luna confirmed, boosting herself a little, she threw the spear with all her might.

*Boom*

The spear traveled at a high speed that ev broke the wind, its mere power caused all the dust a him to be scattered and in less than a second, with a still-confused curse, the spear hit his head, destroying not only his head but half of his body that exploded on impact with the spear.

Instantly, all the darkness disappeared and returned to normal, now in the room with the aftermath of the combat.

The battle was over...
