Charles looked at all the attacks coming his way and smiled.
Before the attacks were about to hit him, Charles suddenly disappeared. He was now standing on top of the ice cream parlor.
Charles noticed that his spine was locked again, and just as he was about to stretch out, he felt a fire attack coming from below him. He dodged backwards and the attack passed close to him. The attack was like a volcano erupting.
Charles noticed more long distance attacks coming and spoke while mocking the situation:
"What's gotten into you guys? Are you afraid to come closer?"
All kinds of attacks were attacking Charles, whether magical or not.
Charles decided to receive all attacks at close range to get into his territory.
One, two, three... Several attacks, began to hit Charles, which resulted in a large smokescreen.
The heroes went to the terrace and looked at the smoke screen in the hope that they had managed to kill the villain, but suddenly, they heard someone talking while laughing:
"Hahaha, I can never get enough of you guys."
The smoke screen lowered and the heroes looked shocked at the man in the middle of the curtain. He was completely intact, none of the attacks had had an effect on him.
Charles noticed the shocked expressions of the heroes and decided to play with them before he left:
"Shall we play a game? The game will work for rounds... I will stay here and you can attack me with any kind of attack, but if you can't kill me, each round I will kill one of you until there are none left. What do you think? It's a healthy game, isn't it?"
The heroes didn't understand where he was getting so much confidence from, since the attacks they launched, were all to test their opponent and not to kill, but they decided to take the opportunity and quickly started charging their strongest long range attacks and launched on Charles.
Once again, a flurry of attacks from the S-class heroes were directed at Charles, attacks that could easily do irreparable damage to a city.
The attacks hit Charles and again a smoke screen was created, but the difference from the previous one was that it was now larger and less visible.
The heroes stopped their attacks and looked at the smoke screen as they waited for it to disappear to see the outcome of the attacks.
A hush descended over the battlefield, where everyone was waiting for the curtain to come down to see the outcome, but before the curtain disappeared, one of the heroes was being blown up.
The heroes looked shocked at their dead comrade, but before they could do anything, Charles spoke in a calm tone:
"Next round."
The heroes looked at Charles and realized that he was intact, a great commotion could be heard coming from their hearts, they would never have imagined that he would survive their combined attacks.
One of the heroes asked his companions:
"Does he have some ability that makes him immune to attacks?"
One of the heroines answered, keeping her eyes focused on Charles:
"No, that's not it..."
Charles looked at the remaining 10 heroes and spoke:
"The next round will start when?"
The heroes swallowed their saliva and decided to attack him again with their best skills, but before they could do so, the man who was the father of the girl Charles had killed said stop them:
"Don't attack!"
They all stopped charging their attacks and looked at the man. One of them asked him:
"Why?"
"Even if we used our strongest skills, we won't be able to kill him."
The same heroine who was already suspicious of Charles said:
"I think he's right, but no matter how much we think, we won't be able to find the answers to this bizarreness, so let's focus on the enemy and find something that will give us an advantage."
The heroes heard the heroine's words and nodded.
Charles looked at her and spoke as he smiled:
"You're very smart, but what are you going to do to overlap?"
The heroine smiled at Charles and he replied:
"The rounds are only over if each of us, use at least one attack, right?"
"Yes, but each of you only has one attack and you don't have to attack at the same time."
The heroine smiled and suddenly, she was in front of Thomas and she drew her sword and made a horizontal cut using all her mana and strength with the aim of cutting off his head.
When his sword touched Thomas, a large shock field was created around him, the pressure of the blow was so strong that even the other heroes had to retreat to avoid being affected by the attack.
After the dust settled, the heroes could see their companion's sword broken and the man intact, and what appeared to be her boyfriend, shouted at her:
"Run ava!"
Ava, despite being drowsy after having spent all her mana, was shocked to notice that her attack did not make a single scratch on the villain's neck, and when she was about to pass out due to exhaustion, Charles picked her up on his lap and asked in her ear:
"Is that your boyfriend?"
Charles had used brain control to keep her from lying, and ava replied:
"Yes, he is my boyfriend."
Ava was lucid but at the same time not, it was a strange but comfortable feeling.
Charles was smiling and talking while looking at ava's boyfriend:
"He doesn't look very attractive to me, in fact, he's quite ugly.... Why has a guy as ugly as him been with a girl as beautiful and sexy as you?"
Although ava didn't want to answer the truth, thanks to Charles' brain control, ava answered:
"Because he is the son of the S-class, top 2 heroine, and if I dated this loser, I would gain fame and prestige."
Charles looked at ava's boyfriend and noticed his shocked expression. He smiled and asked again:
"Tell me, ava, have you ever cheated on him? If so, with how many?"
At this moment ava accepted that strange feeling in her body and decided to answer everything with the truth, that feeling gave her freedom.
"Hahaha, I lost count of how many people went, maybe like 40? And I already betrayed him with all the heroes that are here hahahaha."
Charles looked at the expression of the boy who was already starting to have illusions and smiled, but it still wasn't enough:
"Tell me ava, did you enjoy cheating on him?"
"Hahaha, I loved it, sleeping with a real man is the best thing! If I didn't have work today, I'd probably be cheating on him right now hahaha."
Charles was satisfied with that answer and looked at the boy who was kneeling. The boy looked at ava and asked desperately:
"Why? I've always loved you, I've always helped you no matter what, I've always loved you more than my family, so why did you do all this?"
Ava looked at her boyfriend and spoke:
"I felt like it, but wait, did you really think I loved you? Hahaha, why would anyone love someone ridiculous, ugly and pathetic like you? Hahaha."
All the heroes looked at that scene shocked, they would never have imagined that ava would spill all her secrets so quickly, Some felt guilt and remorse after seeing the state of their colleague.
Charles calmly flew over to the boy and asked him:
"What is your name, boy?"
Charles used mind control to get the boy to speak:
"My name is Daniel..."
"Not a bad name..."
Charles dropped the ava in front of Daniel and spoke as he held out his hand to him:
"How would you like to work for me?"
Daniel didn't understand why this offer suddenly, but he remembered his mother strongly and answered Charles:
"I cannot enter the darkness, I am a hero, a warrior of justice and light."
Charles smiled and crouched down and spoke in his ear:
"Daniel, is the light good for you? Your comrades who you trusted, betrayed you behind your back, your so called 'friends', ended up with your girlfriend and worse, she herself said you were a failure.... How sad, does light usually hurt someone that much?"
Charles brought his lips close to Daniel's ear and said again:
"Tell me Daniel, what do you want to do right now with your companions who betrayed you?"
Daniel would answer based on his feelings at this moment:
"I want to kill them, kill them all.
"But what is stopping you from doing it?"
Daniel thought for a moment and answered:
"Strength and courage..."
Charles smiled, stood up and reached out his hand to Daniel again and asked:
"If the light can't give you that, then who will?"
Daniel before he knew it was suppressing all feeling of sadness for pure hatred and mentally said:
'The light is gone, I can no longer see it, it is time to accept and embrace the darkness.'
Daniel squeezed Charles' hand and replied:
"The darkness."
Charles smiled and began to empower him....
