39: Above

The man, Elias was his name, could not breathe. He looked at the wall, he could feel it, danger coming from behind the wall... If All for One's aura was red and powerful enough to make him gasp and cough, then this aura was enough to make him faint. It was crazy, a black and red aura trashed the entire room, like several tendrils of red and black glass that moved, seeking to destroy everything around. However, not only he felt its need for destruction and blood, but he also noticed that it wasn't doing truly anything but threaten to destroy everything. Like a caged beast, it could only roar and be scary, but not do anything.

Suddenly, two eyes shone from the dark aura, looking at him with a gleam of interest and pity. He could swear he saw a mouth smiling as he felt his heart beating faster and faster, telling him to escape and not look back, to leave right now. But like a sheep, he could not move when the predator was in front of him, all he could do was die.

A second felt like an eternity as he watched the aura retract back to the wall and vanish for seconds before it happened. The wall broke and from the wall walked a man, the man was wearing short black leggings with a white sleeveless t-shirt. He looked at everyone there in the room, his cold blue eyes scanned everyone. Suddenly, three pairs of golden wings bamfed out of his back as he looked at everyone. In his mouth, a cigarette appeared as he smoked and released the smoke, he asked: "So, which one of you is All for One here?" Klein wanted to be attacked by this guy's ability and see if his [Superior Adaptation] can adapt to his power and copy it, Klein then would have a way to steal others' abilities.

All for One and every single gang/mafia/underworld organization boss recognized Klein, they all have connections to the underworld and know very well of the legend of the Wicked Angel, after all, such a powerful and destructive creature needs to be known. "Ah yes, I am All for One, how may I help you?" All for One was not stupid, he knew his limits and he would not attack Klein just because he appeared and wanted to talk to him, the Wicked Angel is someone who destroyed the organization that contained him, the one he could only escape and hide from. "Two things." Klein raised his fingers, everyone could not speak a word as his presence alone could shut them up. "First, I want to ask you to use your ability on me, and second I want to know where is your brother." Klein's requests surprised All for One who suddenly had a stoic expression.

However, his facial expression could not hide the emotions deep within his heart, which Klein could easily detect.

He was feeling ecstatic, he was feeling excited to have the chance to steal the Wicked Angel's ability! He could then use it to rule the underworld and create a safe place for himself. He simply nodded and used his ability, as the black and red tendrils of a metallic-like substance touched Klein's skin and seemingly fused with his body like a slime, he felt it trying to touch his abilities. Let's use an imaginary example to explain this!

Imagine that Klein's body is a claw machine while All for One's ability is the claw, the items he can take are Klein's abilities, which are free to take! As All for One tried to move the 'claw' to catch the 'item', the 'machine' stopped the claw by simply make it malfunction. And at that moment Klein's body changed and he felt it as soon as he heard:

[Abilities Registered:

Please have a nice day.]

Klein smiled just as All for One removed the black and red tendrils of Klein's body. At one second he was free to take the abilities of the Wicked Angel, but soon as he tried he was kicked out and Lost control over his ability, something that never happened before! Soon the Wicked Angel opened his eyes and looked at him with a smirk that scared the living shit out of him. "Now, tell me, where is your brother?" All for One sighed... He just has to tell him what he knows.

-Scene Break-

Yoinaegi gasped for air as he stood up and looked back at the alleyway he was running from. His frail, thin, and weak physique was nothing special, but his resistance to long periods of being tired is what is something amazing. He was used to being tired after getting experimented on, his body was used to pain and he could barely feel his legs begging for him to stop as he kept running. What was he running from? He doesn't know. He only knows what he needs to run to escape his brother, holding his broken arm he continued to limp.

How did he escape that dark place? Simple, his brother gave him the ability to gather energy from the air, but he already had a special power, the power to accumulate power and pass his ability forward. How did he know that? Simple, he knew, that's all. His own body gave him this information.

He could give his ability to someone else, someone more competent, who can fight against his brother and bring his tyranny to an end. He thought his brother was a good person, after being tortured he never felt the need to have people feel the pain he felt, but his brother was different. At first, he thought he would keep him protected, but soon he realized that the brother he knew was far too gone. He could barely recognize his brother, the monster that now took the form of his brother needed to be stopped.

Anyway, when he first received the ability, he didn't want it, it didn't feel right to simply take that power... But it changed him, his body would absorb the energy around him passively and use that energy to make his body stronger, but he accidentally broke his arm when he used too much energy in one attack. You see, to escape that place he used the energy to blow a hole in the wall, which he escaped from before using his ability to have the wall return to normal. How did he do it? He discovered that if he uses his energy well, he can revert damage to almost anything, as long as he has energy. So why is he not healing his arm? Well, he has no energy left and he needs a safe place to be.

Just as he turned on the corner of another alleyway, he heard a voice coming from above him.
