Villain of my own novel

(AN: edited)

***

"Let me show you how to use every ability you possess." My mouth moved by itself as it mumbled, as if it were talking with me.

With a flicker, my body disappeared and reappeared in front of the demoness as my gaze landed on hers and she glared into mine. That was the fourth time I had noticed a change in her expression after coming here, and another thing was that I could feel that my body was smiling—no, more like grinning from ear to ear—even though there were many emotions displaying on my face according to the will of the being controlling my body, I hadn't felt a single change in my indifferently beating heartbeat.

And as if trying to agitate the demoness, my body flickered and reappeared in another corner of the room with my back against the barrier that trapped me and the demoness inside.

'F**king!!! Get out of my body!' My body flickered, appearing in front of the demoness only to disappear by the next instance. The same process repeated back and forth as I began to resist with everything I had, but nothing happened as an abrupt thought appeared in my mind.

'As if there is nothing to resist.' Similarly, to resist a poison, the poison must first be present in the body; it was either a case similar to that or the being in control of my body was too strong, way too strong, for any of my resistance to work.

'!!!!' Taunted by my body's actions, the demoness appeared right in front of me and punched at my face, making my consciousness shudder in fear.

'What!?' I was confused beyond belief because my consciousness really did tremble; if it was only trembling, I wouldn't have minded it that much, but for me to tremble in fear just because someone was slightly stronger, THAT, that was unacceptable.

"Heh!" With a loud, amused chuckle, as if it had nothing to do with my thoughts, my body cocked my head to the right, dodging the incoming fist by a hair's width.

BOOOOOMMM!!!!

With an ear-deafening 'BOOM,' the demoness's slender arm's fist connected to the barrier, and my body drifted to the other side of the room from the ripple caused by the impact.

CRA-CRACK

SHATTER

'Wha....' While I and the demoness were shocked beyond belief, noticing how easily the barrier cracked, my body moved as if everything had gone according to plan.

"Now that the area has been extended, let's start for real." My mouth mumbled and zoomed towards the demoness, who stood dazed, gazing at another space beyond the barrier with a lot of indescribable emotions welling up in her eyes as she gazed out into the other side of space. While she was in her own world, my body pounced on her and kicked her straight on her right cheek, without a single trace of hesitation.

BAM

BOOM

"Come on, come on, you shouldn't lose force while fighting against someone stronger than you." My body mumbled with a scoff, shaking my head with a disappointed sigh, while my consciousness itself was trembling under the influence of two different kinds of emotions: one was fear, because the being controlling my body declared itself to be stronger than the demoness that I could see, while I wasn't even able to put up a fight against her. The other was rage, which was directed at myself because I was really getting scared.

"Authority of the black ink." My mouth mumbled again, activating the authority that I had forgotten to use.

"Partial Devilization." My mouth moved again. With a familiar chill around my right forearm, my hand morphed into a translucent, greyish arm with black-coloured veins in it.

'The authority?' The world in my sight was still colourful, so I couldn't help but be confused.

'!!!!' But to my surprise, my right, devilized index finger was dyed in pitch-black ink that seemed to be dripping on the ground, which was disappearing soon after.

"Authority of the black ink: White Canvas." My mouth mumbled, and as if a giant held brush, dipped in white paint, was stroked, a massive, Chinese brush's white dyed stroke appeared in front of me, and in that stroke, the world seemed like what I would normally see when I was under the influence of the authority.

There weren't any halo-like horns protruding from the corners of my forehead, and there were no black lines to define my body or anything else. There was only that massive brush stroke in front of me, while everything in that stroke was scribbled in black and white.

"Dye mana." My mouth mumbled, and everything in the white strike turned black with dotted spots; if I take my body's mumble into consideration, then the dotted black spots were definitely mana.

"Energy Manipulation." My mouth mumbled again, and with an abrupt surge of power, I felt all the mana in the atmosphere concentrating on a certain spot according to the will of the being who's controlling my body.

'Why isn't that demoness attackin...!!!!!' Only then did I notice the amount of killing intent oozing out of my body.

'N-n-no, no, no, no, th-th-that's n-not my killing in-intent??' My consciousness was shuddering in fear, ignoring my will to resist the fear. And though I didn't want to believe it, not one bit of "my" killing intent was mixed with the killing intent that was oozing out of my body right now.

"Huuu...." With a deep exhale, the killing intent oozing out of my body halted.

"You can come at me now." My mouth mumbled, gazing at the trembling demoness.

"Come." Even though it was only a low mumble, the words that came out of my own mouth carried a certain power that I was sure I won't be able to do the same anytime soon.

Complying with the command, the demoness rushed towards me, trembling in fear. "Good." My mouth mumbled with a wide grin plastered on it, and my gaze narrowed at wherever the demoness stepped as I looked through the white stroke in front of me.

"Aaaaa!!!" A painful shriek escaped the demoness's mouth when a wide, gaping hole appeared in the middle of her foot; maybe she couldn't see it, but I was able to. A spike of purely concentrated mana had protruded out of the ground right beneath her foot when my black ink-dyed index finger traced on the white stroke in front of me.

"This is how you use it. Now, the next part." My mouth mumbled. By that time, my consciousness had completely ignored my will to resist, so in fear, I subconsciously nodded my head in understanding, in my consciousness. And before I could completely comprehend the situation, the white dyed stroke in front of me disappeared.

"And then there is Pyre, Erebus, Trishul and its skills, ring of extinction, if I summon even one of them, the fight will be over in an instant, so let's leave them alone for now, and let's stretch for a bit, since I have come out into the world of the living after a long while." My mouth mumbled again, and I appeared in front of the demoness, punched her straight in the face, and due to the force behind the punch, her body shot out of the massive hole in the barrier that had opened up somewhere in the middle of the sky.

WHOOOOMMM

Jumping out of the hole and with a deep breath, the being controlling my body relished the moment as we were free falling, and it wasn't long until a subtle thud sound sounded beneath me, indicating how much of a fall remained.

BOOM

I thought that the being controlling my body was strangely similar to me when I noticed my body pushing itself down after stepping on an aether footing.

WHOOSH

With a series of flips, my body fast approached the ground, channelling a lot of aether on my legs, and with a seemingly last, strong flip, my body landed on the head of something, crushing it entirely.

SPLATTER

DING

[Level 9, Rank-A Scorpio-Pede has been slain.]

[200 experience points acquired.]

[Boss monster slain.]

[200 Achievement points acquired.]

[Level 7 (7690/12000)]

[Please wait for a safe teleportation pathway to be initiated...]

After calming down ever so slightly, I reasoned that the wait was because my previous teleportation pathway was messed with, but my calmness didn't last for long, as the demoness, who survived the fall just like me, zoomed in and kicked at my head.

"Well, well, well." My mouth mumbled with a wide smirk, and I dodged the kick without much effort, while I wasn't even able to sense the demoness's moments.

"Martial Footwork."

TING (7x)

With seven ringing steps, my body had instantly appeared in front of the demoness, who flew past my body without being able to control the force she put behind her kick.

Arriving in front of her, my clenched right fist was thrown at her, with a proper martial art stance.

BOOM

A ring of wind pressure shot out from the impact, ignoring her groan and the dust cloud surrounding the demoness's body, and my palm extended out towards the ground where the demoness's head had slammed, and by the next instance, her face was in my palm, as my body, which wasn't under my control, flung her to the other side of the room, but before her body landed, my body had already appeared there, smoothly flowed and held the back of her head, before clenching and bashing her head against the boss room's wall, that cracked upon impact, grinning, my palm clenched her head more tightly than before, and ignoring her groans, my arm bashed her head at the wall again and again, until,

CRACK

BAM!!!

CRUMBLE

Soon after, the wall broke, and my body jumped into the hole after throwing the seemingly bloodless demoness outside. The sight outside left me baffled; everything, as far as my eyes could reach, was covered in a dense white smoke, through which millions of black, no, greyish-coloured towers protruded, and when my body jumped out of the hole, free falling down to catch up with the thrown-out demoness, I noticed that even I was inside a greyish tower, whose end I wasn't able to see.

"Tsk." My body abruptly clicked its tongue, and with a wave of my aether-channelled right arm, a thin, fading roll of aetheric thread materialised above my palm and disappeared before my body could use it.

"F**king low life." My mouth abruptly cursed; for reasons unknown, I could tell that it was directed at me.

"Oh." With a strange sound that came out of my mouth, I felt like I was slowly gaining control over my body, while at the same time, I could feel my body becoming slightly powerless. Though it was only slightly, I felt like I had lost all of my strength again.

"No!!" "I regained control after a long time; do you think I would let it go so easily?" With a loud roar, the being controlling my body began to resist and gained control over my body again, due to which I felt an unbearable amount of pain and wasn't able to hear the words my mouth mumbled clearly.

'ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGH!!' I felt like my consciousness would disappear if I let whatever was happening happen, so mustering every last bit of willpower I could, I began to take control over my own body.

Maybe it was because two separate energies clashed against each other; with a loud 'boom,' my body shot out, upward, in a random direction, while I felt like somebody was slowly ripping my limbs apart.

"Arrrrrrrrrgh' My voice came out of my own mouth, sometimes back in my consciousness, but the process continued for a few seconds until a burst of extremely terrifying aura exploded out according to the will of the being controlling my body, at which point my consciousness was quickly subdued.

"AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGH!!!!" The being screamed loudly while floating above the greyish towers in a misty white space, and with another burst of its terrifying aura, a familiar but forgotten golden, black-coloured ripple shot out from my body, due to which the ends of the towers cracked.

WHOOOOMMM

BAM!

It was then, the demoness abruptly jumped out of the dense white mist beneath my body and kicked my back; my right arm extended out, grabbing the demoness's leg, and

"100%" My mouth mumbled.

'!!!!!!'

BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!
