BXBX NOVEL Chapter 526 The Mask
"Huh, you decided to copy me?" Black Sun Aristocrat muttered while looking at the bloody orb, "Do you really have so little imagination?"
"Say what you want." Lycia smirked as she snapped her finger.
The orb trembled and burst massive blood clots that rained down on Dark Hand members. Each clot was powerful and exploded on impact.
'After all, I didn't give up that crystal for anything...' Black Sun Aristocrat inwardly muttered before pulling out the statue of the goddess.
"What is it? An amulet for good luck? Like a rabbit's foot?" Lycia said in a careless voice, but a moment later, a shiver ran through her body as her heart was gripped by fear.
"This is the seal that I bought for you personally. You can be proud of it, no woman has ever received such expensive gifts from me." Black Sun Aristocrat uttered and cut his palm, so a drop of blood fell on the statuette.
"No!" Lycia exclaimed with a terrified look as she ran toward Black Sun Aristocrat.
Whoooooooosh.
The statue's eyes opened and lit up like two crimson lanterns. The ground trembled with blood that headed toward the statuette. Many Scarlet Tree members' spells were shattered by the lack of blood as well as Lycia's massive orb.
Like a black hole, the goddess statue consumed all the blood on the battlefield, then shattered into multiple shards that flew equidistant from one another. The shards formed a dome that greatly weakened the blood magic in a large radius.
"Bastard!" Lycia exclaimed as she jumped back.
"You decided to kill my people, so I'm giving it back to you." Black Sun Aristocrat said as a torrent of dark energy erupted from him.
He raised his hand, created a multitude of dark spheres in the air, and lowered his hand as though giving an order to the archers to fire. The flaming spheres rained down on the Scarlet Tree members like meteorites. The fire burned them along with the woods and left nothing but ash behind.
Whoooooosh.
The Black Sun Aristocrat appeared before Lycia as he drove his fist into her stomach with lightning speed.
"Agh!" Lycia's face distorted in pain as she vomited a mouthful of blood that a few drops landed on Black Sun Aristocrat's mask.
The impact threw Lycia back several meters, so the Black Sun Aristocrat created a sphere behind her that sent Lycia back to him.
The Black Sun Aristocrat took a step back, lowered, and punched with his fist from bottom to top, sinking it deep into Lycia's belly. The force of the blow threw her several meters upward, so she fell onto a rock in the distance.
Black Sun Aristocrat shook his palm in a careless manner before heading toward Lycia. She was lying on the rock with a blank look as blood trickled from the corners of her mouth.
"Well, it all happened a lot faster than I thought it would." Black Sun Aristocrat said while looking at Lycia.
A dark orb appeared in his hand as he approached her.
"Any last words?" Black Sun Aristocrat asked in an ice-cold voice.
"Huh, you're pretty funny." Lycia grinned, "You know, your image is so pathetic like you've been dreaming about it for a long time. You're like some kind of mysterious lord that destroys his enemies with a wave of his hand, but the real you lurks under that mask."
"Well, you'll never know the answer to that question." Black Sun Aristocrat muttered before pointing the orb toward her.
"That's not true... Your trump card is more dangerous than I thought. You managed to seriously weaken me as this statue took away my ability to use someone else's blood, but... Is that a problem?" Lycia smirked before her blood turned into tattoos that covered her entire body.
Bam.
She disappeared and a moment later appeared behind the Black Sun Aristocrat with an insane look. Lycia stared at him like a predator at its prey that was ready to tear it to pieces.
"Die!" Lycia exclaimed as she attacked.
The Black Sun Aristocrat quickly created a protective barrier of dark flame in front of him, but Lycia punched through it with ease, so the Black Sun Aristocrat got hit with full force.
Lycia didn't stop. It was like a wild beast hitting Black Sun Aristocrat from all sides at different points. He tried to block it, but Lycia was too fast. She grew stronger with every drop of blood that flowed from Black Sun Aristocrat's wounds. The blood intensified the tattoos on her body that moved like snakes.
"Is that really all you can do? Weakling!" Lycia exclaimed while beating Black Sun Aristocrat with a hail of blows.
'Damn, so that's why she didn't bother with Dark Hand's actions...' Wain inwardly muttered with a dazed look, 'She knew it was impossible to block her power completely. She fights like a vampire, not caring about her wounds, in fact, her wounds make her stronger.'
Wain worried as the Black Sun Aristocrat was completely defenseless. His red coat was partially torn, and his mask had a few cracks.
"Away!" Black Sun Aristocrat exclaimed as he created a sphere in front of him that should have scared Lycia away, but instead, she just destroyed it with a wave of her hand.
The dark flames burned Lycia's skin slightly, but it was as if she didn't notice it as some of the tattoos evaporated to heal her wounds instantly.
"You're mine!" Lycia grabbed Black Sun Aristocrat by the neck and threw him to the ground.
Bam. Bam. Bam.
Lycia launched a series of powerful blows at his stomach until a scarlet blood stream trickled out from beneath the mask. The Black Sun Aristocrat was breathing heavily as if he were dying.
"Hey, don't you dare die! It's too soon. I have to see your face first." Lycia licked her lips as she touched the mask.
She slowly removed the mask since a stream of darkness came out from under it that slowly revealed the Black Sun Aristocrat's face.
Bam.
When Lycia saw it, her heart began to beat faster.
