The Villain's Story

Chapter 351 [351] A Failed Domain.





An Opaque glass dome surrounded the entire stadium, the spectators couldn't see what was inside, and neither could the awakened.

No matter how much they used their optical skills, they could not peer into the Mirror World.

"Haha! Yes!"

Logan shouted from his seat with enthusiasm.

"Yes! Devour that old bastard and steal his techniques!"

Henry stared at his grandfather with an apathetic gaze. He was already used to this kind of behavior.

"..."

He stared at the domain with blank eyes—an opaque glass dome from the outside, and an endless world of mirrors on the inside.

"No!"

"What's going on?!"

He heard the complaints of the spectators and sighed. These idiots wanted to see what was happening inside the domain…They were stupid.

Well, it couldn't be helped, Humanity didn't have a lot of experience with domains.

"Win."

He wished. He knew it was a hopeless wish, he knew his brother couldn't win against Sword Saint Arken. Everyone who knew of the Sword Saint knew it. Ezra had no hope of winning.

Arken was just testing him.

But he still wished for his brother to be victorious…or at least learn something useful from this fight.

********

"..."

Alan stared at the opaque domain of glass with a scornful expression.

He vividly remembered his own experience with the Mirror world, a world that seemed to be full of endless imitations for him, he was sure that he wouldn't have been able to break out without Aranus stepping in.

"Tch."

He clicked his tongue when he was reminded of that experience. The feeling of being swarmed by endless numbers of him was vivid.

"Alan, what is that domain like?"

Richard asked, the attention of everyone focused on Alan.

"It's like an endless world, everywhere you look there are mirror versions of you imitating everything you do, and an endless number of them swarm you after some time. While you're fighting them, Ezra is silently observing you, learning all that he can about you and your techniques."

Alan explained his experience with the Mirror World.

"So that's a domain huh…"

Richard muttered. Ezra was one of the few known humans that had unlocked a domain. The only ones known to have a domain were Ragnar Drakmor, the head of the Drakmor family, and Daniel Park, The Guild leader of Titan, The Sage, Oliver Olsfer, and some other remarkable individuals.

Richard wasn't completely foreign to a domain as well, He had experienced Daniel's domain, |City of Gold| in the past when they had a spar. The guildmaster of Titan was an incredibly strong individual. If not for his careless nature and eccentric hobbies he considered more important.

'Midas' would have already conquered all the top 10 guilds in a heartbeat. He had the power to do all that alone. This was also why Logan, the guildmaster of Behemoth was so wary of him and was trying whatever he could to defeat him.

"..."

Alan closed his eyes and rested.

"Aren't you going to watch the rest?"

Alice asked. Was Alan not interested in observing Ezra, who had defeated him in the past?

"No need, I already know who's gonna win."

*CRACK*

A sudden cracking sound shocked them all. Alan smirked when he heard it.

[MIRROR WORLD]

"So this is the Mirror world…"

Arken muttered when he was finally inside the mirror world.

It was a realm intertwined with reflections and illusions, everywhere he looked, he saw himself, an endless number of himself, spanning all directions. An endless realm of mirrors.

"Hah."

He laughed, it fit Ezra when he thought about it. An endless realm of mirrors, where he could observe everything about his opponents and copy everything from them, a world where he could practice until perfect, by continuously watching. It was an intricate conversion of both imagination and reality, where Ezra could harness infinite possibilities with these endless mirrors, reflecting everything.

"Truly, it's befitting of the Title Copycat."

Arken's voice echoed throughout the infinite realm.

For Ezra, the wielder of the Mirror World, this domain was a sanctuary of insight and mastery. He had unique privileges within this domain to study the martial arts of everyone he trapped here. Whenever he wanted. The techniques, the martial arts, and their vulnerabilities all laid bare before him.

Arken stared at the endless reflections of him. These reflections served as a canvas upon which Ezra can examine every move, analyzing the minutiae of combat easily.

"This is interesting!"

His endless reflections stopped copying his every move, and all turned to him, poised to attack. Wherever Arken found himself, he found it intriguing, he found it pleasing!

"Come!"

He swung his sword and killed a hundred of them, but more came and swarmed him.

HAHAHAH!

His crazed laughter echoed out as he swung his berserker Blade.

"You know Ezra, I have a student with a similar talent to you!"

Arken's voice bellowed throughout the domain, and the Hidden Ezra heard it.

"But instead of martial technique…He can copy mana techniques and skills!"

"..?"

Ezra was confused…Did he know this person?

Arken killed a thousand more and roared.

"But instead of just copying them…he can adjust them, reconstruct them, and even adjust higher level skills to his level. All by himself, in seconds."

Ezra listened to Arken's words closely.

"In my eyes!"

He swung his sword!

"That talent is much better than yours, where you let multiple martial arts rot."

Arken was a true Martial artist. This disgusted him. The fact that Ezra didn't use a lot of martial arts he copied.

"Even if you copied them…I would not have minded! But you left the ones you use at a pathetic level!"

He bellowed. This was a disgrace!

Hundreds of Martial arts disgraced, never living to their full potential! IT DISGUSTED HIM!

"What do you think a domain is?"

Suddenly, Arken's rampage stopped. A sense of tranquility engulfed the mirror realm. Arken's multiple reflections didn't attack.

Arken released his Aura.

'That mysterious power! That stat!'

Ezra now knew what that stat meant! This was a secret power of the Sword Saint.

He used everything he could, he pushed himself to the limit to understand it.

"You will never be able to do it."

[Failed to copy.]

"You will never be able to gain it with such halfassed methods."

[Failed to copy.]

Ezra failed multiple times to copy the power…but he was unable to. He at least wanted to understand it but failed.

*CRACK*

"What?!"

He was startled by the sounds of cracking. A great pressure was felt all over the realm, as Arken's green Aura started to rise. Destroying the reflections…and the realm along with them.

" A domain is one's question to the world, it's their will against it…"

"Gah!"

Ezra's knees buckled in front of the enormous pressure.

"Your will is to be a fucking copycat? Pathetic. You use your domain to not even half its potential!"

*CRACK**CRACK*

"No!"

Ezra tried his best to keep the Mirror world intact. He used his spear to distract the Sword Saint.

[DESTRUCTION SPEAR(5-star)]

][FIRST MOVEMENT][

/DESTRUCTIVE REND\

The failed art he managed to copy from Alan during their bout…It was the strongest move he had!

But even that was nothing.

"Let me show you…"

Ezra fired off hundreds of skills, all to stop the Sword Saint…but like his domain, they all shattered like glass.

"A true domain."
