Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain’s POV

He had gained nothing despite the fact that he was the strongest amongst the five of them who had arrived together at the site of the old man's corpse.

At first, he and the three others had been deceived by that ordinary looking guy, making him very furious. But he wasn't very smart enough to track down where the body had landed and was a bit too late to realise that the others had jumped into the hole and had taken the Sky walker from the old man an fled.

Although he was very strong, he had only learnt a strengthening type Exercising Method and a few strength based techniques.

He didn't learn any motion technique and his speed was ordinary. Therefore, he could only watch as the three people left him in the dust in pursuit of themselves.

He had been thoroughly dejected and had wanted to rush back into the safe zone he had dropped down at when he came but he somehow found himself here.

He had followed the arrow his AI had projected to him, which lead him here. But he looked around and couldn't find a single thing remotely close to a Safe zone.

"Uhm Claire, Are you sure you aren't mistaken?" Jason spoke up after a while.

"Pardon me Jason. I think something has messed with my navigation system. It could be some sort of interference in the atmosphere due to the Radiation." A robotic female voice spoke out after a while and one could tell the voice wasn't happy with the situation either.

"Uhn? Okay, how do you fix it then?" Jason scratch his head in frustration as he questioned.

"I need to reset the functionality system and network or go straight to rebooting myself. It would take a while."

"Alright then. How much time would you take though?" Jason asked curiously.

"About 10 minutes. Won't take long." Claire replied.

"Okay, that should be enough time for me to explore this basement." Jason clapped happily

"The illumination from the imprint can still function right?" Jason asked after some thought.

"Sure, it isn't a core function of the system anyway." Claire replied leisurely and she activated the hologram, lightning up the area softly.

Getting the confirmation from Claire Jason grabbed at the handle of the door leading to the basement. It made a slight creaking sound

But as soon as he grabbed open the door, a furious voice of a young man sounded out from within the basement. "You still dare to come, you old thing?"

Jason shivered in fear and he instantly freaked out, his hand unceremoniously dropped the door he had been holding open.

He had been scared out of his wits since he hadn't expected anyone to be down the basement.

Soon, he regained his senses and then he frowned when he heard the voice. His gaze then darkened and he seem to remember something.

He angrily opened the door and rushed into the basement. In just less than 30 seconds, he had reached the end of the hallway.

He scanned through the entire room but strangely enough, he didn't see a single soul inside even when he had searched every where.

"Claire, increase the intensity of the illumination." Jason commanded, unlike his true self.

"Sure." She responded immediately but after a while of fruitless searching, Jason was thoroughly startled that he couldn't find anyone there even after his meticulous searching.

His body shivered indiscriminately and his eyes rapidly twitched from fear

"Claire, I heard a voice down here, you also heard it right?" Jason asked hesitantly. He didn't want to believe ghosts were real

"Yes, and through my scan, the voice is 99.9% similar to the person that had tricked you a few minutes ago. I guess the person is using some method to hide here.." Claire replied casually and she seem to have hit the nail in the head.

Upon hearing claire's words, Jason's face darkened and he felt as though he had been toyed with.

He grew increasingly annoyed as he scanned everywhere with increased scrutiny but he failed to find the exact location of where that guy was at.

"I advice you to come out your self and do not force me to find you or you will surely regret it." Jason warned with a stern tone. But after a few seconds of nothing happening, his face twitched in fury.

Jason then gritted his teeth with resolution. He didn't want to have to activate his trump card but since the situation is like this, he had no choice but to do this. He only three uses left of the original five uses but now, this guy is forcing him to waste one more, it made him very angry.

He grabbed a large B- shape glasses from his bag and then put it on.

"Claire, activate the thermal vision. I want to see how the bastard will hide this time." Jason punched a rusted steel machine in anger, making it crumble as though it was made of wood.

"Understood." Claire replied.

In less than a few seconds, Jason's vision darkened, he couldn't see anything. Looking down at his legs, he could only see two blurry images shaped like his legs.

From this, he knew the thermal vision had been activated. He turned his gaze towards the entrance and saw a faint and blurry orange images of his footsteps. It was faint and not clear at all and it showed a few traces of it clearing away with time.

Now that he knew it was working, he began to scan every nook and cranny of the basement and after a few second of observation, he saw a very faint image of a blurry silhouette of a human next to a wall.

Squinting his eyes, Jason smartly said. "Make the thermal vision active in only one eye."

"Okay."

Very soon, he could see clearly what was happening.

Letting out a sly smirk, Jason's muscles shook violently and his heart thumped abruptly, letting out a few rapid pounding sound.

In the next second, he grunted and he abruptly let lose a punch to the wall where the faint traces of a orange human silhouette could be seen.

"Galvanising Fist!"

"Crackle! Boom!"

Faint amount of electricity crackled from his fist, blasting out a hole in wall. That section of the wall fell apart instantly and turned black from the lightning he had produced.

Jason rapidly stepped back to avoid the dust and sand. His breathing was heavy and small beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead as he had used his most powerful move in that attack.

He focused his gaze in that area, using his thermal vision to peer through the dust and sand. But unfortunately, he still couldn't find anything.

His expression turned awful. He was about to sat something to his AI when suddenly, his figure blurred and he made a rapid retreat backwards. His back towards the entrance of the basement.

Lucian wasn't one to be merciful towards a potential enemy. His figure somehow emerged out of nowhere and he let loose punch towards the young man's direction.

"Boom!"

Lucian's fist smashed ferociously on the chest of his enemy. But his opponents wasn't a weakling either.

His face bore the brunt of an electrifying fist.

Slightly dazed, Lucian's body was forced to a stop. His eyes widened suddenly and he hurriedly steadied himself, using the opportunity to catch the incoming fist attack.

He met another strike with his right kneel before striking hard with his elbow.

"Bang!"

A massive cloud of dust rose up in the area where Jason had been brutally hit.

Jason staggered backwards two step with his face flushed before he lifted up his clenched fist for another strike.

"Bam!"

He pressed his crackling hands against Lucian's chest. His moves were very fast and sharp, and mostly unpredictable just like the attribute he had chosen and most importantly, his every move had some kind of numbing effect against the opponent.

This style of combat was the most troublesome to deal with.

At that moment, a flurry of kicks, punches and different kinds of attacks landed on each other letting out a dull and muffled Thump sound.

Suddenly, Lucian abruptly grabbed onto the fist of his opponents and he clenched unto them with power he had t utilised previously which was almost twice of the strength he had been using previously.

"It's over." Lucian said casually. He had had enough already and this guy doesn't seem to know any combat skills. He only just relied on the effect of the electricity he had accumulated.

Lucian found this type of fight exceptionally boring. He had thought he would learn a thing or two from the Fight but he guessed that not everyone could be like Phyllida, so he just shook his head and gave up the thought of learning any combat skills from this guy.

Jason's eyes widened in disbelief he felt as if his hands had been held tightly by a very strong vice grip.

He didn't dare to struggle wantonly as he feared he might just break the joints in his wrist.
