The villainess shall be mine

Chapter 115 Darkness



Boooom!

The humanoid monster continued to unleash a very destructive wave of energy, and Adam had a hard time preventing the monster from destroying the whole area, including the ship and the food supplies.

He used a lot of strength to make the Darkmatter thicker and denser, and slowly contained the monster inside a black sphere.

"Aaaaaaaa!" He cried, trying to summon all of his strength and crush the monster that was inside the black sphere.

However, the monster's attack had already made a hole in the ceiling, and a few flying monsters managed to pass through this hole.

"Monsters are coming!!" Zax shouted, pointing at the hole in the ceiling.

Swoosh!

Liu acted without delay and rushed at the flying monsters. Crystal wings made of ice appeared on her back and more than fifty ice swords materialized in her surrounding.

"Bzzzzz!"

The monsters noticed Liu, but they didn't even try to hide their intentions.

Of course, their presence didn't intimidate her in the least, and soon, some of the monsters began to freeze in mid-air and then fell down like flies. Ironically, these monsters were insect types.

However, the lesser wyverns were tougher and trickier. They avoided Liu's attack, and instead of attacking back, they left the low-level monsters to distract Liu while they roamed around the hidden area, breathing fire at everything they see.

"Tsk!" Liu understood that these monsters were more intelligent than they appeared to be.

Fwooosh!

A wall of ice appeared around the ship to prevent the wyverns from damaging it.

Roooar!

The monsters rushed through the hole, and in just a few minutes, their numbers had already exceeded two hundred.

Liu glanced at Adam who had reached both of his hands towards the black sphere as if he was squeezing something in between.

Seeing the intense expression on Adam's face, she understood that the opponent wasn't an easy one. Until now, Liu had never seen Adam making such a face, even though the circumstances were always more than critical.

Consequently, this was something beyond critical, Liu concluded, preparing her mind for the worst.

"Damn it!" Adam cursed, knowing that the situation had taken a very bad turn. He was already using a lot of power to restrain the humanoid monster, but it wasn't enough as he felt a powerful force trying to break out of the black sphere.

The flying monsters were one thing, but the humanoid monster had clearly evolved and reached a different level of existence altogether.

Adam had taken into consideration a lot of things, but even with his imagination, he couldn't predict the future.

It was faint, but Adam could see that the black sphere's color began to change.

"What kind of monster is this?" He asked himself, knowing that the Darkmatter was not something that could be damaged; however, what was happening in front of him suggested that it was not impossible.

The black sphere turned into a ball of magma and the temperature around the area increased dramatically.

Adam's ability was overwhelmed by the heat produced by the monster, and such a thing was not something that happened easily.

The atoms themselves were heating up and began to change into something new. After all, the Darkmatter had this particular trait.

Nevertheless, the monster began to emerge out of the ball of magma.

Adam used his power to push the monster back, but the result was the same.

"Rooooar!"

Two pairs of wings appeared on the monster's back, and its body had now an orange glow as if it was made of magma.

The monster soared to the sky, and even Adam's nullification power couldn't restrain it because of its phenomenal physical strength.

Adam began to think about a way to deal with the monster quickly because time was something that they didn't have.

"I didn't expect the boss to appear her in that form," he said, knitting his eyebrows, as he looked up to the ceiling. "The quickest way to deal with would be to cut its head off and crush the heart, but…"

Knowing that the Darkmatter, one of his trump cards, wasn't as effective as before, Adam began to think about other ways to deal with the problem.

"But first," he said, reaching his hand towards the ball of magma, "get out of here!!"

He launched the ball of magma towards the hole, then released his control over it. He didn't know what would happen because the Darkmatter turning into magma was a phenomenon that never occurred before.

Normally, once he released his control over the Darkmatter, it just faded away like sands, but what if it was a ball of magma?

Boom!

"Looks like my theory was right," Adam said, "I just need to get the hang of it, and I would be, more or less, able to control all of the elements."

There was no time to explore his ability further, but Adam theorized that the Darkmatter could merge with any kind of particles.

With this ability, Adam could converge the neutral particles into particles that had at least ten percent Antmatters property.

However, he was unable to sense the presence of other particles in the environment due to his ability, so he couldn't explore the other aspect of his power.

"Fire…" Adam mumbled, looking at the humanoid monster who was destroying everything that came across it.

The heat emanating from its body was too intense that monsters within the area of fifty meters around it turned into charcoal.

Even Liu's wall of ice began to melt and she felt that the temperature continued to increase.

"A dragon with a humanoid form," Adam said, as he got close to Liu. "It seems like we are not at the end of our surprise."

"A dragon? How can that be? It's too powerful…" Liu said.

The dragon who was now in a humanoid form was wary of Adam and kept its distance, waiting for an opportunity to strike again, but it was also taking advantage of the low-level monsters to keep Adam and Liu distracted.

"Liu, take the ships and leave before they get damaged. I will hold this monster here, and I will catch you up after, and in the meantime, need to protect the ship," Adam said, "Can I trust you with that? We don't have time…"

Liu looked like she was a little bit confused by Adam's words, but then she said, "Okay."

Adam knew that with her domain, Liu could protect the ship even if she was inside it,

"Cristal, go and open the path," Adam said, instructing Cristal, who had transformed into her humanoid form, to activate the mechanism that would open a path for the ship to be able to leave the underground area.

"Roger," Cristal answered.

"Be prudent," Liu mumbled, stopping for a few seconds without turning back before heading towards the ship.

Hearing what Liu said, Adam smiled, and then he said, "Thanks buddy, but I will be one my ow this time."

After that, the black cape followed Liu, and Adam was standing on top of a black cube.

All of this time, he didn't stop dealing with the monster within twenty meters around him, using the invisible wires to take them by surprise.

"I don't want to be naked again, but it seems like I don't have the choice," Adam said to himself. He was about to use his ultimate trump card, and he couldn't have Cristal or the black cape on him.

Moreover, there was also something that Adam was interested in. The monster was indeed stronger, and the most probable explanation for this was the primordial particles that it had absorbed, causing it to evolve to the next level of its existence as a monster.

'Monsters' cores are in a way a source of power, aren't they?' Adam thought, and what he was trying to do was something that appeared to be stupid.

Before, he had already extracted Rudeus's power to save Liu, but what about a monster's power.

Of course, Adam knew that this was not the time to be fooling around, however, he wasn't stupid as to let such an opportunity slip away.

There was no telling when he would encounter a monster who had evolved to such an extent again, but he also needed to evolve in one way or another, thus he also viewed these monsters as a way to test out his theories.

'I need to acquire the ability to produce fire,' Adam thought. 'Even an insignificant flame. As long as I can feel the presence of other primordial particles in my body, everything else would be easy.'

Adam was trying to force overwhelm his nullification ability so that he could feel the presence of other particles.

The ball of lava gave him this idea, seeing how the heat overwhelmed the nullification traits of the Darkmatter.

Nevertheless, he knew that things wouldn't be that easy, because he would have already managed to do it a long time ago.

After all, what he was about to do was try to create his elemental particles.
