Villain Ch 740. Mice
The fiery deluge plummeted from the heavens, scorching everything in its path. Elio, James, Noah, and the Order of Valiance's members found themselves ensnared in Allen's trap, helpless against the onslaught. As the inferno engulfed them, their agonized screams mingled with the crackling of flames, creating a cacophony of despair.
Their bodies writhed in agony, but there was no defiance in their struggles. They knew resistance was futile, a bitter truth that only added to their torment. Around them, the other players stood frozen in horror, their faces twisted in disbelief at the harrowing spectacle unfolding before them.
But it wasn't just the sight of their comrades' suffering that sent shivers down their spines—it was Allen's chilling revelation, a revelation that defied all logic and reason.
A soul bound to a game character? It was beyond comprehension, a notion that struck at the very core of their understanding of the virtual world they inhabited.
Even Mila, with her unwavering confidence in Noah and James' prowess, couldn't shake the creeping sense of dread that gripped her heart. These were seasoned players, masters of their skills, yet they were powerless in the face of Allen's unfathomable strength. It was a sobering realization, one that cast a shadow over their once-vaunted confidence.
Allen hovered in the sky, a sinister smirk playing on his lips as he surveyed the chaos below. He could've made a swift exit, but where's the fun in that? No, he relished the pandemonium he'd caused, and the perfect conditions only fueled his desire for more mayhem. With Alice and Bella flanking him, they scanned the scene with a cool detachment, ready to unleash further havoc at a moment's notice.
After his chilling warning and the probing questions from James and Elio, the players had become jittery, cautious. They hung on Allen's every move, analyzing every flicker of his demonic presence for clues about his power or the game's storyline. It amused Allen to no end; they were like mice scurrying around a maze, desperate to unravel the secrets of the villains.
And just as he expected, Allen caught Sophia attempting to slip into a building with Darren and Liam in tow. He didn't need to know their plan to know it spelled trouble. 'Looks like we've got some more troublemakers,' Allen mused internally.
Allen's gaze shifted to Alice, a silent command passing between them without a word spoken. "Sophia," his lips mouthed, the message clear as day to Alice, who nodded in understanding. With a quick glance in the direction Allen had been observing, she spotted Sophia flanked by Darren and Liam, their intentions were unknown.
Without hesitation, Alice turned back to Allen, her own lips moving in silent communication. "I will take care of her," she vowed, her determination evident even without sound. Her lips curled up in excitement.
Allen acknowledged her words with a subtle gesture, pressing his index finger to his lips in a silent signal for discretion.
Alice returned his nod with a firm affirmation.
With a swift and silent movement, Alice slipped away from her perch on the rooftop, her figure melding seamlessly into the shadows. With a flick of her wrist, she summoned her broomstick to her side, the sleek wooden handle materializing in her grasp.
With a graceful leap, Alice mounted the broomstick, her movements fluid and precise as she soared through the night sky. The wind whispered against her ears as she descended upon the potions store building, her eyes scanning the windows for any sign of movement.
Spotting an open window on the second floor, Alice guided her broomstick towards it, her landing as gentle as a feather drifting to the ground. With a deft twist, she maneuvered herself through the narrow opening, her body slipping silently into the darkened interior.
The potions store was dimly lit, the shelves lined with glass vials and mysterious concoctions. Alice moved with caution, her senses on high alert as she searched for any sign of Sophia, Darren, and Liam. It didn't take long for her to spot them, huddled together in a corner of the room, their attention focused solely on Allen's every move.
Sophia, lost in her obsession with Allen, paid little heed to her surroundings, her eyes glazed with single-minded determination. Darren and Liam, on the other hand, seemed disinterested, their movements sluggish and half-hearted. Despite being seasoned players, they lacked the initiative and creativity to think for themselves, content to follow Sophia's lead like obedient ducklings.
With a silent smirk, Alice crept closer, her broomstick hovering just above the ground as she closed in on her unsuspecting prey. This was her chance to strike, to eliminate the threat posed by Sophia and her lackeys. And with a flick of her wrist, she launched into action, her movements swift and deadly as she prepared to confront her enemies head-on.
Sophia, Darren, and Liam were in the second-floor potions store, their attention fixated on Allen's every move, they were suddenly seized by a creeping sense of dread. Without warning, shadows coiled around their feet like sinister tendrils, immobilizing them with a vice-like grip. Gasping in shock, they struggled against the unseen force, but to no avail.
Their cries of panic died on their lips as Alice materialized before them, a sly smile playing on her lips. "Shh," she whispered, her voice a mere breath of sound as she silenced their protests with a stern gesture. The air crackled with tension as the shadows rose like serpents, slithering up their bodies with deadly intent.
Sophia's eyes widened in terror as the darkness encircled her neck, squeezing tighter with each passing second. Darren and Liam, caught in the grip of the shadow's icy embrace, could only watch in horror as their fate was sealed before their very eyes.
With a cruel smirk, Alice tightened her grip on the shadows, her fingers curling into claws as she prepared to deliver the final blow.
But Sophia didn't want to give up without a fight.
