The Supreme Level Up System

370 Blame

Aion never trusted Vangel… he always had a bad feeling while looking at the guy. Still, he was a good ruler, and he always had been a good friend of his brothers and even let Henri marry his sister.

Despite losing a few years ago in a tournament, he never showed any signs of someone who hated Aion for that. Moreover, Lexus was always working for him, so he would know what kind of person Vangel was… he wouldn't make the mistake of teaching someone that could become troublesome with his best Techniques. Still, even if he were a good guy until now, there was something that could change the whole dynamics of the situation.

"You were born twenty years ago… when time magic was used for the first time in many years," Aion thought. "You transferred yourself to the body of the heir of this country."

"Did I?" Vangel asked. "Who knows?"

"...Where is everyone?" Aion asked. "Answer quickly, and your death won't be very painful."

"Wow, we have a badass here," Vangel smirked. "You think that because you won in the past, you can win again?"

"I am certain that you can win against me, like in a number of callouses you have in your ass," Aion said while starting to feel suspicious of Vangel's confidence.

           It was hard to imagine how he pulled that off. Still, it was clear that Vangel was what caused the disappearance of all the citizens of the capital and created that dark pillar… if he knew about the future, he was from the future as well. So, he should have more than a little bit of information about Aion's skills.

"You are really fun, and it makes me recall the first time we met," Vangel said.

"Ew, you are starting to look really creepy," Aion said. "Don't waste my time. Where is my father? If you are the cause of this, you should have called my brothers and sisters as well just to get me. I am sick and tired of dealing with bastards like you."

"But you only started to deal with people like me, the other you that failed in my real timeline fought against them hundreds of times," Vangel said. "You possibly can't get tired so soon."

"This is your timeline, asshole," Aion said while glaring at Vangel. "I should have killed you when I had the chance in that tournament… even if you didn't have the memories before rebirth, doing this now still is enough to prove that you deserved the worse of deaths."

"Man, you never relax, do you?" Vangel asked and then relaxed on the throne even more. "What is the point of worrying about this? There are many other versions of the people of this capital in other timelines. Just killing and destroying the capital of one isn't anything. If it were, the world wouldn't have ended like this. Besides, I am doing this for the sake of the future since you failed in your task. all in any other situation, but you are just too much of a troublesome threat."

           If the enemies had a lot of data about him, it was clear that they would come up with some You had all the tools at your disposal, and you still failed, so you are useless since you can't even fulfill your job. Just die and hand over your powers to us."

"Come and get it," Aion said and then fired a Fire Kunai at Vangel's head.

           In the next moment, Vangel just raised his hand and absorbed the attack… while it was for a short time, the kunai assumed physical properties while it also could burn those who get hit by it… so Aion was left speechless when his attack was absorbed.

"Hmm… the quality of your mana is truly high," Vangel nodded to himself. "I shouldn't have expected less from someone with such talent, bloodlines, and blessings. We would have cooperated with you all in any other situation, but you are just too much of a troublesome threat."

           If the enemies had a lot of data about him, it was clear that they would come up with some countermeasures. Still, Aion never thought that it would be something of that level… no, if they could keep traveling between the timelines, they would have all the time in the world. Even more so when they can transfer their spirits to other bodies.

"Shut up, don't blame me if things ended like this. This isn't my world alone," Aion said while thinking of the best option in that situation. "You are not only a failure, but you are also a coward that decided to abandon your own reality."

"Maybe, but I didn't give up yet. You already did once, and you brought the enemies here," Vangel said and then got up before summoning a golden sword that emanated a powerful red aura. "Just die and become a stepping stone for the true future of this world."

           In the next moment, several mirrors appeared around Aion… he clicked his tongue in annoyance, and then he couldn't help but wonder… he thought that only those who had the relics could use the mirrors since they were the most stable ways to use magic. Wasn't that suspicious?

           Still, he couldn't think too much about it when he saw several of the metallic man appearing, a woman with the half body of a fish, and other figures that Aion didn't know. Aside from Vangel, Aion had to deal with six more enemies, aside from the clones of the metallic man.

"Good grief, considering that you talk like you are the pinnacle of efficiency and talent, you sure need a lot of people to bear me, huh," Aion furrowed his eyebrows. "I wonder why…"

"We won't make any mistakes. We won't underestimate you," Vangel declared. "You might think that this is cowardly, but unlike you, we won't risk the universe to feed our own ego trying to consider stupid notions like honor and justice."

"At least you have the right mindset," Aion said and then changed his class to Bloody Undead and used Mana Shield.

            At the same time, the metallic man and his copies dashed and surrounded Aion while the mermaid used her voice to enhance their bodies with magic.
