Villain of my own novel

Chapter 155 154. White Swan's Signature Kill (2).



"Now, let's start." White Swan's eyes arched as a ice sword materialized in his hand.

"Zone." He mumbled.

SWOOOMMM

A dark purple hue shot out from his body, seeming to cover the entire translucent room as everything slowed down in Ned's view, and it didn't just 'seem' to slow down, it actually did.

White Swan gripped his sword and swung it in every direction he could, his swings were very fast despite the fact that time had slowed around them, and although Ned couldn't see White Swan's hand, he could see the ice sword being swung down at him.

White Swan's ice sword covered Ned's entire field of view and then a sudden conclusion revered in his mind that he was underwater, White Swan's sword moved so fluidly that Ned forgot his fear and stared at the sight in awe as he ingrained that beautiful view in his mind, the sword made 0.3 centimetre deep cuts with every single swing and blood should have splattered everywhere, but the blood droplets were floating mid-air as they wobbled, White Swan's other hand had a thin layer of dark purple hue covering it, which seemed to be the cause of the floating droplets.....

But it wasn't!

In the midst of the stinging pain and slight drowsiness, Ned felt a very cold sensation on his toes, which jolted him out of his trance and caused him to feel an unimaginable amount of pain.

"Arrrrrggggh!!!" Ned screamed in agony, tears, snot, and saliva streamed down his face, and those sensations couldn't even be registered in the midst of the insane amount of pain he was experiencing; if it did register properly, he would probably be ashamed about it.

".... You think you'll die simply after doing all those heinous things?" Ned Benson heard White Swan's cold voice and it sent shivers down his spine, despite the fact that he was in so much pain that he ignored and forgot everything. Ned was hearing his own terrified voice very slowly because everything had slowed down, and then he heard White Swan's voice just as slowly as his own, but every word of White Swan's instilled fear in Ned.

"If it were possible, I would torture guys like you every day, to the point where you would hope to die that day, only to learn that it was all wishful thinking at the end of the day, and hoping you would die the next day." White Swan continued to speak.

"Arg! Arrrrggggh!! Ned continued to scream in agony, his voice gradually dying down until he could no longer scream, despite the fact that his mouth was open and his face was twisted with anguish and despair.

"I want to develop a skill like 'that' curse, just to curse people like you guys!"

".....!!!!" Ned wanted to scream but no sound came out as he continued to hear White Swan's words which seemed to be being engraved on his mind.

"Death is just a luxury....which, not everybody deserves and....."

"It is definitely not a luxury that 'absolutely everybody' gets." White Swan's words seemed instil horror to Ned's very core. After hearing those words, Ned's consciousness began to fade as the cold sensation approached his chest area, and the final words Ned heard were...

"..... I know that from experience, of course."

'Wh....a...t....!?' Ned thought in his final moments.

[Core, it's done! Steal everything.] Eshwar's voice sounded in the Uncharted's hideout.

"Hahaha! That was fast and flashy!! Hahahaha." Core laughed joyfully before her fingers flitted on the keyboard.

CLI-CLICK (8x)

"Louie! Contact Henry and ask him to start it!" Core yelled while focusing on the monitors in front of her, as her fingers continued to dance on the keyboard.

CLI-CLICK (6x)

"Got it!" Louie yelled back from his room and contacted Henry.

[Henry! You can start! Try to find out which group he is related to, if possible.] Louie said to Henry through the Mind link device.

[Mhm.] Henry hummed.

[Great.]

Henry stood atop a high building named 'The Hungry Bond,' which was lit up all over and filled with people. Because the building was made of glass, Henry could easily see what was going on inside.

'It seems like a famous restaurant, but I still doubt that guy, 'Edwin Cobb' is earning that much as a chef.'

'Well, let's see, how he entices people...' Henry continued to stare at the chef, Edwin Cobb, who was walking in and out of the kitchen to speak with the customers.

[Henry, want me to join the fun?] Eshwar's voice sounded in his mind.

[You wanna join?] Henry asked as he spoke through the Mind link.

[Of course.] Eshwar confirmed telepathically.

"Hahaha." Henry chuckled at Eshwar's instantaneous reply and nodded his head.

[Alright.] Henry said.

[I'll be there in a second. Oh! Should I sneak?] Eshwar asked.

[Of course, we're not announcing his death, yet.] Henry said, crossed his arms and shook his head.

[Tsk.] Eshwar clicked his tongue and Henry sighed.

[I'm right behind you.] Eshwar said, telepathically.

Suddenly, Henry felt something cold on his neck.

"Jesus!! At least warn....haaa." Henry jerked back in surprise, when he saw Eshwar's index finger on his, and wanted to give Eshwar a piece of his mind, but he gave up and sighed because he sort of expected this to happen. Eshwar simply raised his hands in surrender and backed away, but Henry knew he was smiling behind his mask.

"Are we killing him or interrogating him." Eshwar asked.

"Waiting. Killing." Henry answered with only two words.

"We can just drag him out of there, can't we? He can't die anyway." Eshwar said.

'Right, why am I even waiting for him do something...' Henry thought and nodded his head in understanding.

"Then, let's go." Eshwar instantly jumped off of the building.

"Haa..." Henry sighed and jumped behind him.

"Snowflakes." Eshwar mumbled, raised his right hand in air to manipulate snowflakes around Henry who stared at Eshwar's hand which was covered in a thin layer of dark purple hue.

'Purple?' Henry frowned as he stared at Eshwar's new mana colour.

'What happened?' Henry's frown deepened as he sensed something was wrong, he has known Eshwar for almost 5 years, so he knew something was wrong with Eshwar when he saw him running away from Core; he didn't seem to enjoy it like he always did, though he slightly returned back to normal after the chase was over, it didn't feel complete, nor did Eshwar feel like Eshwar.

"I'll go and drag him out." Eshwar said to Henry and snapped him out of his daze.

"Huh? Oh! Ok." Henry nodded his head.

"Kyaaaa!!"

"Ah! Haaa...." Henry sighed and shook his head.
