The Villain Can't Lose - 36 Thank Her Later

As I turned around, seething with anger and frustration, I suddenly felt a sharp impact to the side of my head. It was so sudden and unexpected that I didn’t even see it coming.

The next thing I knew, I was flying through the air, propelled by the force of the blow. I crashed to the ground, the impact sending a shockwave through my body.

As I struggled to regain my senses, I looked up to see a huge and massive guy standing over me, a grim expression on his face. I knew that I was in trouble.

I tried to get up, but my head was spinning and my body felt weak and unresponsive. The massive guy reached down and grabbed me by the collar, lifting me up effortlessly.

I could feel his grip tightening around my neck, and I knew that I was in for a world of hurt. But even as the pain and fear washed over me, I refused to give up.

He stumbled backwards, caught off balance by my sudden attack. I took advantage of the moment to scramble to my feet and get some distance between us.

I knew that I couldn’t take him on directly, not in my weakened state. But maybe, just maybe, I could find a way to outsmart him and come out on top.

[Rowen, the sword has a reflection on it! Use it!] Zuri sounded too demanding and controlling in this situation, but she was intelligent and I had no other option.

I looked at the sword that was hanging out of his belt, “what do I do now?” I asked her while catching my breath and trying to regain my bearings.

I could feel the exhaustion creeping up on me. Every muscle in my body felt heavy and weak, and I could barely keep my eyes open.

The events of the past few hours had taken a toll on me, both physically and emotionally. The battles, the confrontations, the constant fear and uncertainty – they had all drained me of my energy and my will to fight.

I wanted nothing more than to collapse on the ground and sleep for days on end. But I knew that I couldn’t. There was still so much left to do, so many more battles left to fight.

So I pushed myself forward, even as my body protested and my mind screamed for rest. I took one step at a time, putting one foot in front of the other, until I felt like I could go no further.

But still, I kept going. There was no other choice. The weight of my responsibilities was heavy on my shoulders, and I knew that I had to bear it, no matter how tired or weak I felt.

My eyes quickly wandered through the once-beautiful royal garden, my heart sank at the sight of the destruction caused by the battle with Ewen and this man. The trees were stripped of their leaves, their branches twisted and broken. The flower beds were trampled, the delicate petals scattered across the ground.

“Hopefully, they won’t send me the bill…” I whispered to myself as my eyes kept staring at ornate fountains being cracked and now suddenly dry, their water long. The statues that once stood proudly were now toppled over, their elegant features marred by deep gashes. It was an unpleasant view, but the fight had to go on.

[Rowen, focus!] Zuri yelled and I came back to reality, “I’m sorry,” I apologised and trudged forward, my eyes fixed on the blade, [stretch your hand and imagine the mirrors!]

As Zuri’s words reached my ears, I felt a sense of clarity and focus wash over me. I knew that I couldn’t take on the massive guy directly, but maybe there was another way to defeat him.

I closed my eyes and focused my attention on my surroundings, trying to tap into my own inner power. With a deep breath, I stretched out my hands, imagining a massive building of mirrors rising up around the massive guy like just that time with Nari.

The image was crystal clear in my mind, every detail and every angle perfectly formed. I could see the massive guy inside the building, trapped and confused by the endless reflections.

As I held onto the image, I could feel a surge of energy coursing through my body, a power that I had never experienced before. But I didn’t let it consume me. I stayed focused on the task at hand.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Slowly, the building of mirrors took shape before my eyes, growing taller and wider with each passing second. It was almost complete, and I knew that the massive guy would soon be trapped inside.

And then, with a sudden burst of power, the building was complete. The massive guy was trapped inside, surrounded by a maze of endless reflections that left him disoriented and confused.

I opened my eyes and looked at Zuri that was suddenly flying next to me, feeling a sense of relief and satisfaction wash over me. I had done it. I had found a way to defeat the massive guy without using much more of my energy.

As I turned and walked away from the building of mirrors, I knew that I had come one step closer to achieving my goals. And I knew that I had Zuri to thank for guiding me towards the right path.

“Now, what to do with you?”

I mumbled and walked away from the building of mirrors, feeling a sense of accomplishment and relief, I turned to look at Ewen. And what I saw made my blood run cold.

Ewen was smiling at me, a twisted and bloody grin on his face. His teeth were stained with blood, and his eyes glinted with a cold, calculating winning.

I could feel how anger rose inside me, but I refused to let it show and held my head high, I walked towards him, trying to hide high blood pressure circulating through my veins.

As I got closer, Ewen’s smile grew wider. It was as if he knew something that I didn’t, something that made him feel invincible.

And then, with a sudden burst of movement, he lunged towards me, his hands reaching out to grab me, but I dodge him, “he’s fuxking insane!”

I reached out for my sword that was lying on the ground near me, my fingers closing around the hilt.

I was ready to strike, to end this once and for all.

But then, I heard the sound of hand claps, loud and sudden.

And it gave me pause.

“Well done!”

I turned to face the source of the noise, my sword still in my hand.

And as I saw who it was, made me drop it on the ground, [You on your own, Rowen]
