Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain’s POV

If he had finished dealing with one person, he would be immediately attacked with full force by many other, forcing him to block their attacks and when he tried again to escape through the gap he had created, two more people would have replaced the open gap, leaving him quite frustrated.

Although he needed to hide some of his talents and skills but there was no need to hide all.

Upon thinking this way, Lucian began to walk towards a certain point.

Under his skin, faint bronze colour began to emerge from his skin, getting increasingly prominent with each step he took. But wasn't really clear enough.

Immediately, he unleashed a scorching fist directly at the nearest attacker.

His fist was clearly straight but his opponent could only see it coming from a tricky angle that seem to incline sideways.

His muscles vibrated together, creating a massive amount of heat and the blood in his veins moved in a specific rhythm, increasing the heat by an astonishing level.

His wrist vibrated vigorously and oscillated as per the rate dictated by the manual. Making his hand turn quite red.

"Whoosh!"

The wind seemed to have been burnt dry and the air made a pi pa pa sound as though been fried by the heat.

His two attackers seem to have been struck with fear and they instantly trembled making their movements falter by a beat.

At that instant, a light flashed across the chest of one of the guys, he was sent flying without any chance to counter attack.

Seeing this, the other attacker seem to have regained his bearing and instantly roared ferociously. But his roar was instantly cut short as his body was also sent flying backwards. Lucian's punched had been so fast he didn't even see it coming.

Lucian mustered up his strength and struck again, smashing his palm backward against a fist that which brought with it intense wind. His palm against the fist.

"Bang!"

The person's body shook and she hurriedly retreated. The flesh at the back of her arm had already turned very red due to the heat. She was quite lucky it hadn't been burnt black yet. Which meant Lucian held back on his attack.

Truthfully, although the group of people ganged up to attack him, not one of them were emitting a single trace of murderous waves.

They only attacked to injure him, to keep him from resisting any further. Which was the reason Lucian wasn't so cruel as to attack with full force. He held back when he could.

Suddenly, the bulged which was on his spin produced a few series of mechanical sound and the six arms instantly locked onto Lucian's body. The strength amplifier had been installed.

The ten odd people were momentarily surprised but in the blink of an eye, they performed their several techniques as they blasted off different attacks straight at Lucian.

But Elvi was stunned speechless. Didn't she just activate the EMP a few seconds ago, so why the hell could he still use his combat Suit?

Her expression instantly changed and she immediately shouted "Fall back!" she knew she had miscalculated this time. She had placed her hope on the EMP, and didn't even focus on the possibility that it might fail. But from what she was seeing right now, it clearly failed.

Elvi was an extremely smart person. She knew when to retreat and also when to advance. As soon as she saw the Combat Suit was still working, she knew she had been toyed with and called for a retreat without hesitation.

Although stunned by her words, her team mates weren't the least bit slow. They instantly withdrew from attacking Lucian and flew into the forest. Using their mysterious cloaking technique, they disappeared from plain view in a matter of a few seconds.

Lucian too was surprised at the young lads decisive nature but he didn't plan to pursue the matter anyway.

Elvi stood quietly in the dark and glanced deeply at Lucian before also jumping in the forest, her figure disappearing from plain view.

"They made good sparring partners." Lucian shook his head as though he had suffered a loss. He had been too excited by the battle earlier and had mistakenly activated the Strength amplifier, raising Elvi's guard and allowing them to retreat.

If not, he might still be sparing with them. But his disappointment was soon replaced by joy as he recollected the amount of Relic gold he had stolen…accumulated.

A few hours later, Lucian blinked his eyes as he turned slowly towards a certain direction.

Little amounts tiny red dots of thermal ray could be spotted which belonged to low level beast that Lucian couldn't even be bothered to deal with but at top of a very large tree a few hundred meters away, Lucian could see a red humanoid shape figure standing up there. It was easy to guess that it was a human being.

But what was strange was that the thermal energy which enabled him to spot the figure kept fading. At one time, it was as though the figure wasn't even there but in the next moment, the thermal energy would pop up in his field of vision.

It was as though his thermal vision was been intercepted by something. Which means he wouldn't be able to rely fully on thermal vision since that figure could sometimes evade detection.

It as unknown when the figure had gotten there but Lucian felt his or her gaze on him which was why he was alerted instantly. The figure stood calmly on top staring at him with a weird type of gaze.

This gaze made even Lucian feel a bit wearing and his expression turned slightly serious.

But then, he laughed coldly in his mind. Another one here to hunt for easy points. Retracting his gaze, he removed his helmet from his head and he rested back onto the branch he had been sitting on, closing his eyes as though he was sleeping. He was sleeping a few meters above ground, on a tree branch.

Suddenly, Lucian felt the wind stirred slightly and he abruptly spoke up. "Stop hiding and tell me what you want." his voice was calm and serene, so was his eyes, as though he didn't put the figure in his eyes at all.

The figure didn't speak at first, but after a few seconds of silence, a sweet voice spoke up.

But the direction at which the voice came from, was directly beneath the tree Lucian was sleeping on.

The figure remained strangely silent as though wondering why Lucian was acting carelessly.

In this jungle, even the smallest beast could prove dangerous not to talk about the myriads of strange lifeforms out there.

One must always be on guard no matter what. At least that was what figure thought but Lucian's carelessness seem to prove otherwise. He was acting as though this was his playground, his backyard.

She couldn't figure out if he was actually stupid or just simply too brave but if he was this stupid, how dis he survive the first day? Also, the second day was about to be over.

Taking in a breath, the figure casually spoke "so you're Lucian." resting on a large rock not far away from them.

Lucian's eyes abruptly flew open and his gaze sharpened but hse immediately sat up and smiled. "Since you know my name, it's only right if you introduce yourself.?"

'So the tiger finally revealed her fangs' he chuckled coldly in his mind.

Phyllida was wearing a cloak which covered her whole body but still couldn't hide her enticing curves. But what made Lucian brow furrow was the fact that she had a very familiar helmet covering her face.

The helmet was so thin that one might misplace it for a face mask but Lucian knew better, it was the helmet that came with the Combat Suit. His curiosity was instantly peaked.

Phyllida's facial expression was dull but it was hidden beneath the helmet, she responded "Hmm, I'm called Phyllida."

Lucian tilted his head and scratched the area beneath his chin with a confused expression. "Alright Phyllida, what's up?"

Phyllida frowned under her helmet. She was getting rather impatient.

She instantly snorted and her figure faded in an instant.. Her voice, seemingly appearing out of nowhere "Talking is useless, prove me with your strength."

Boom!"

The ground caved in she instantly disappeared from her previous position.

In the blink of an eye, she was before Lucian. Stretching forth her arms, she immediately grab onto his shoulder, intending to capture him and also for interrogation.

"Eh?" she suddenly let out a surprise cry as she felt her finger grab only air. She was momentarily stunned.

Although she had only used half of her thorough strength, she still expected to have caught him but much to her surprise, it appears as though her speed wasn't fast enough.

"What are you trying to do?" by now, Lucian's face had darkened. He didn't expect her to attack so suddenly, Weren't they still talking?
