Chapter 21 Lucas Vs King Thomas

"The real thrill of being in a world of a novel!~" Lucas smirked as he kept dodging Thomas's fire attacks. Lucas then used his hand to create a hole in the ground and pulled some sand underneath him.

"What are you even talking about?!" Thomas yelled out as he tried to dodge the attack unsuccessfully.

Lucas landed on top of him and pinned him down.

"You know... The thrill of being in a story..." Lucas grinned as he looked at Thomas. "I always loved books... But more than that... I love killing."

"Y-You crazy.... Bastard!" Thomas turned red as he panted from the exertion. "You... Are going to regret this!"

Thomas roared, and the wind blew harder, as if it was trying to push Lucas off.

"Oho?" Lucas taunted. "You think you can stop me with just that?! HAHAHAHA! Give me your best shot!"

"You annoying BASTARD!" Thomas's eyes glowed red as his mana started boiling on his skin. The mana turned dark grey and Thomas's body changed; limbs became elongated, cat ears grew longer, and he grew a tail. His fangs also grew and his arms transformed into claws that were dripping with poison.

'I... Can I do that as well?' Lucas asked himself as the demon charged towards him.

"Let's GO!" Lucas screamed as he dodged the kick. "YOU FUCKING DEMON!"

The demon raised its claw in the air and fired a massive ball of lightning at Lucas. Lucas saw the attack coming and jumped away. When he landed, he created a giant shield around him and absorbed the electricity before throwing the ball back at the demon.

"Gah!" Thomas exclaimed as he blocked the attack. "You little piece of shit! You think you can survive after trying to invade my kingdom?!"

"Ahahahaha!" Lucas laughed loudly as he ran toward the demon and kicked him in the chest. "Invade? Me? Talk about hypocrisy, KING THOMAS!~" Lucas emphasized the words King Thomas.

Thomas grunted from the impact and fell on his back. He realized he was constantly losing strength. Thomas stared into the sky for a moment and muttered. "I become weaker and weaker because of this guy's poisonous mana. If this continues..."

"Hmmmm?" Lucas raised his brows. "If this continues... They will charge me for a royal murder. Haha!~ "

"Wha-"

"You have plenty of mana left. But if you continue losing your strength like this, eventually you'll die." Lucas smiled as he walked towards the king. "But don't worry, I can always just burn your body to ashes to hide the crime!~"

"Hahaha!~" Suddenly Thomas burst out into laughter. "I knew you were crazy, but to this extent!~" His mana armor changed colors and became orange. He stood up before Lucas could hit him and threw a punch at Lucas.

"Hahaha!"

Lucas dodged the punch and grabbed Thomas's arm. He twisted it and made the demon cry in pain.

"Whoa!"

"That hurt, didn't it? Wait..." Lucas realized that now Thomas's mana armor was burning Lucas and turning limbs to ashes as if his hands were made of paper.

"Gyaaah!"

Lucas let go of the demon and ran as fast as he could.

"DAMMIT!" Thomas roared as he chased after Lucas with his claws extended. "Die!"

"The fuck did you do?!" Lucas askebd looking at his fingerless hand. "My fingers! They're falling off!"

"Ahahah!" Thomas laughed as he caught up with Lucas and tackled him to the ground. "Your mana is now being contaminated by my curse aura! How do you like that?!"

"What- What?" Lucas gasped as he felt his whole body weaken. "This motherfu..." Lucas cursed before receiving a punch into face, that completely removed his jaw.

"You think I'm bluffing!?" Thomas laughed as he punched Lucas again. "I can kill you any time I want!"

Lucas coughed up blood and spat it at Thomas.

"MHmHM." Lucas couldn't speak. However, his eyes were burning with rage. "FUCK YOU!"

Lucas's mana formed wings on his back. Disgusting wings made of black liquid mana.

"AHhhhhh!"

"HAHAAA!"

"Curse Aura!" Thomas exclaimed as he grabbed Lucas's face again. But this time, Lucas's eyes had a glimpse of orange. The orange was cursed mana, which Lucas was trying to learn ever since he unlocked his powers.

Lucas grabbed Thomas's face, leaving a black mark on it that started burning.

"Mhmmmhm!~" Lucas giggled as he spread his wings and launched himself high into the air. Lucas showed his middle finger to Thomas.

"Don't get cocky, asshole!" Thomas laughed as he saw Lucas's wings. "I don't need wings to fly!" Thomas was able to levitate in midair by using his Mana.

Lucas waited for his body to start regenerating, but the moment he saw Thomas flying towards him, he knew that he must do something. 'What would take this demon's attention from me?' Lucas thought to himself, then his eyes lit up. 'Oh, I have an idea!~' Lucas chuckled.

"HAAAAA!" Lucas screamed as he launched a black fire blast in the direction of the Elemental city.

Thomas's eyes grew wide as he realized the possible disaster. He created a portal right in front of the city, so he could avoid the casualties. He quickly teleported to the city and prepared to embrace the blast. He changed his mana armor into that of holy energy.

"That crazy psychopath!" Thomas yelled as he focused his mana to create a barrier around the city.

Lucas smiled and floated down to the ground.

"Hahahah!"

He landed in front on the sand and greeted by a bright light in the distance. 'He actually protected the kingdom. Not bad.'

"Fuck!" Thomas cried out as he realized that his entire mana armor was burnt to a crisp. But before it could do any damage, the black fire disappeared. Thomas's eyes turned red as his mana was now boiling on his skin. He realized that Lucas never intended for the blast to reach the city, just to buy some time. At this point, he wasn't even sure if he should be relieved or enraged.

Black miasma covered Lucas's face and black resin started to reform his jaw. Lucas moved his now hardened mana jaw with his palm a couple of times, making it crack.

"Hehe!~ Nice." Lucas said while chuckling without even noticing that enraged Thomas flew toward him.

Thomas flew back toward Lucas in a mere second and punched him into the newly regenerated jaw. Lucas fell back, his body hitting the ground and creating a huge sand cloud.

"You... You... Bitch! I just regenerated it!" Lucas said as he panted heavily while holding his jaw from breaking apart.

"Ohoho~" Thomas laughed as he ran back to where he was standing before the blast. "What? Did I break your jaw again?" He released a thunder bolt toward Lucas.

Lucas's right eye twitched in anger, and he screamed out in pain as a lightning bolt struck him. The lightning bolt spread out like a net and wrapped around the area.

"You bastard!"

A shield of lightning that prevented him from moving surrounded Lucas's body. However, with a single flap of his wings, he broke free.

"Hahaha!~" Thomas laughed as he saw Lucas escape. "You're too slow, kid!"

"You fucking...!" Lucas screamed as another lightning strike hit him. "I'm going to kill you!"

"No, you are not!" Thomas yelled out as he launched a fireball at Lucas.

Lucas used his wings to avoid the attack and created a large wind gust to knock Thomas down.

"What the hell?!" Thomas exclaimed as he flew back into the air.

"Hahaha!~" Lucas laughed as he got back up into the air.

While in the beginning of the fight, two creatures were trying to kill each other, the elongated fight turned into trying to annoy each other more.

"This fucking angel!" Thomas growled as he flew back to where he was before Lucas sent him flying again. He threw a lightning bolt at Lucas, who flapped his wings, creating a wind blast that pushed Thomas away again.

"This fucking demon!" Lucas said the moment the lightning blast paralyzed him again.
