Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain’s POV

Startled, Phyllida turn backwards and sh remained silent for a few seconds. "I've underestimated your strength. But sadly for you? I only make mistake once!"

She flitted forwards toward la Lucian like a giant butterfly. Her steps were both elegant and graceful and most importantly, agile. She wasted no effort at all and she was already before Lucian.

This time, she still grabbed at his shoulder but her speed was more than double the previous one. She was like a forest ghost and her movement like an apparition.

"Humph!" Lucian snorted immediately and all of a sudden, he caught Phyllida's tiny little wrist that was about to hold his shoulder in his hands.

"You should be careful what you wish for or you might not be able to handle the consequences." Lucian whispered lightly, but his lips didn't seem to move.

Phyllida's eyes widened. She had used more than 80% of her strength, and even lightly used her motion technique to increase her speed, but shockingly for her, she still could not grab onto that shoulder.

Her face changed suddenly and her heart chilled. Without hesitation she activated the Combat Suit increasing her overall strength and she yelled.

"Butterfly Changing The World, Second flick!" she opened up her palm like a blooming flower slightly and pointed two of her fingers, lightly tapping on his arms.

Lucian frowned slightly as he vigorously shook his blood and muscles, producing incredible heat. He immediately sent palm towards he pointed finger, instantly swatting the technique away as though he was chasing away some annoying flies.

But as he repelled her fingers, a foreign force instantly invaded his body his body shook and he seem to feel a sort of weakness creeping in from his hand to his whole body.

"Uhn?" Lucian was very surprised. He had never expected that something like that could happen. Although he hadn't activated the Adamantium body yet. His defences wasn't something a foreign energy could invade.

Even after he destroyed the paralysis force with his own force, he could feel that it wasn't thorough destroyed and was hiding somewhere in his body, waiting for a time to burst out of it got an opportunity to.

An ordinary grade 2 combat technique doesn't have such force which meant that it was of the grade 3 category. Only those above that level could manage to infiltrate his current defence. Although not highly likely to.

But that was impossible. Training a grade 3 technique to the second stage for that short a time, it was practically impossible. 'What did she do? Practice combat techniques when she was still a baby?'

But Lucian didn't know he was almost close to the truth, she had practiced a simplified version when she was little and by now, she had built a solid foundation. Practicing and mastering the true technique to the highest state for a few months, wasn't practically smooth sailing for her.

'Interesting.' Lucian licked his lips in a contained excitement. It had been long he fought some truly worthy opponent that are human.

He wanted to see how strong he had gotten, compared to other genius students in the institute.

Suddenly speaking out loud. "Phyllida, although I don't know what you are talking about, you have taken things too far by attacking me first and I have no other choice but to retaliate." His voice contained a hidden excitement within and as his voice landed. He moved.

His punch was straight and direct, without the use of the any combat skills whatsoever but due to his experiences, his punch seem to have evolved and appear to have been released from a very tricky angle, making it almost impossible to block it.

Phyllida squinted her eyes saw it. But she wasn't at all intimidated, throughout her childhood, she had spent majority of them practicing the simplified Exercising techniques and another part of her time training under different combat teachers.

A common and experienced technique coming from a newbie wasn't going to phase her. But she was puzzled the way moved, it seem to contain a certain type of rhythm that seem to spell out 'Expert' as though he was an experienced combat master.

"Bang!"

Al of a sudden, Phyllida caught his fist straight within her palms. But her face shifted as she felt enormous strength passed through her body from that fist, but the Combat Suit she was wearing instantly hardened and immediately transferring the force to the ground through some method.

The ground beneath her cracked with a muffled boom as the strength being transfered into her body was forcefully conducted to the ground by the suit. It was some sort of protection.

But that still wasn't enough to prevent her palm from getting scorched red.

Yes, he had used Blood Explosion Fist at the last moment.

She instantly withdraw backwards a few meters. Her expression beneath the helmet had turned grave, she couldn't believe she could not win against Lucian in the contest of strength even when she had the Combat Suit on.

The Combat Suit had increased her strength significantly and according to her calculations, no one in the entire map right now should be able to counter her in Strength, so it came as an absolute shock for her when Lucian repelled her without even breaking a sweat.

She really wanted to ask 'How are you this strong?'

Lucian smiled to her from the distance. "

"I want to confirm... just how strong you are!" her voice barely faded when Phyllida charged towards Lucian with blinding speed. Her right hand formed a blade and she brought it towards his forehead.

Lucian lifted his arm covered in black to block Phyllida's hand blade.

"Boom!"

Two great forces collided together and visible grey waves of air exploded from within the collision.

"I have no interest in wasting my time with a weakling!" Phyllida shouted furiously. She swung her elbow towards him but was immediately blocked by Lucian's other arm.

"Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!"
