p What reason could a person have for hiding his face?

Maybe it was because this one was a criminal, a sociopath, or his face was seriously disfigured? Well, all these reasons would have occurred, but not for a person of status and influence like the Black Sun Aristocrat. He needed a mask to hide the part of himself that he hated.

"This... How is this possible...?!" Lycia exclaimed with a dazed look as she took a few steps back.

Her heart was racing because of the Black Sun Aristocrat's face.historical

He slowly stood up, shook off his bullshit, and said, "Are you happy now? Is this what you wanted to see?"

Black Sun Aristocrat's face was flawless. Even despite his wounds, he looked as if he had been personally created by a god and had spent more energy on it than to create the universe.

As a child, Black Sun Aristocrat's had many problems because of this, girls literally wouldn't let him pass, and boys were constantly fighting with him because of envy, however, Black Sun Aristocrat could deal with that, but that wasn't the reason why he hid his face.

'Damn... I thought I was the lucky one with my looks...' Wain internally muttered while floating in the air, 'Huh, Lycia's blushed immediately, is that kind of power fair?

"This is unexpected... but honestly, I'm disappointed." Lycia said as she pulled herself together, "If you're so handsome, why hide it? Are you really that shy? Huh, it looks pathetic!"

"My mask is not a protection that hides me from the world, it is a seal that hides the world from me." Black Sun Aristocrat said in a calm voice, but a moment later, his face distorted into an evil smirk, "Because you have no idea how hard it is for me to restrain myself now, you dumb-ass pig! Do you like my face? Yes!? Then why don't you go fuck yourself, or I'll make you look me straight in the eye while I slowly rip your guts out!"

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The ground trembled as a massive torrent of darkness erupted from the Black Sun Aristocrat that was like a river of weeping ghosts.

"Fuck, how I didn't want to do this again, but you forced me to, so get ready for the worst nightmare of your life!" Black Sun Aristocrat exclaimed with a mad look and tore the amulet from his neck.

The jaw coin glowed brightly as it shattered into tiny shards that opened the portal.

Whooooosh.

A dark silhouette with a long coat flew in, smiled, and said, "Well, well, you did it after all. Beautiful on the outside but horrible on the inside. That's pretty romantic, don't you think?"

"Shut up!" Black Sun Aristocrat shouted, "Just do what you must do before I destroy everything here."

"Who the fuck are you?!" Lycia exclaimed as her heart was racked with fear.

"All right. You don't have to be so rude." Silhouette said in a careless manner and snapped his finger.

Whoooooosh.

A multitude of jaws that turned into piranhas appeared next to him. They grabbed the members of Dark Hand and Scarlet Tree between the jaws and dragged them as far away from the battlefield as possible. No one could resist this.

Then the piranhas turned into jaws as they formed a huge dome around Lycia and Black Sun Aristocrat that covered the forest, the lake, and part of the mountain.

"Have a good time." The Silhouette bowed slightly with a sly smile on his face and flew outside the dome.

Black Sun Aristocrat no longer had the strength to hold back, so he immediately released all the accumulated power.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

He pointed his hand at Lycia, and a dark energy beam burst out of it that instantly pierced through her. The beam had such tremendous power that it shook the air and could destroy an entire mountain, but the jaws on the dome absorbed all the energy before it could escape.

Dark Hand members watched the battle with shocked looks. They had never seen this side of their leader, that was always calm and cold.

"Sir... So this is what you've been hiding for so long..." Raik muttered in a dazed voice.

No one fought anymore, everyone understood that it no longer made sense. Now everything depended only on the result of the battle of their leaders, moreover, they did not dare to do anything under the gaze of the dark Silhouette as his aura made them tremble with fear.

Lycia touched the hole in her belly and stared at the bloodied palm for some time. Despite what had happened, her gaze was calm. It was as if they had switched roles as the madness was now on the Black Sun Aristocrat's side.

"Damn... I didn't see that coming... Now I even regret seeing your face..." Lycia muttered, "When you got the goddess statue, you said no woman had ever received such expensive gifts from you, so let me return the favor."

Lycia's ring glowed brightly as a vial of scarlet blood appeared in her hand, from that emanated an unusual aura.

"What is that...?" Raik muttered.

"Oh, this girl was definitely ready for any turn of events. This trump card could change everything." Dark Silhouette said as he appeared behind Raik.

"Ah!" Raik exclaimed with a startled look.

"Don't be afraid. I'm just a spectator." Dark Silhouette said with a faint smile on his face.

"What is all this blood? Why do I get the feeling it's something really bad?" Raik asked.

"Well, that it is. Once, an immortal Dragon went mad for living too long, so it began to wound itself so badly that its blood turned into rivers. The creatures that drank that blood became part of myths and legends, so that's what's in this vial."

"Wait... She has blood magic, if she drinks that vial, then..."

"Exactly, it'll be quite a show."

Lycia opened the vial and emptied it, then her eyes reddened, her aura intensified, and the wide wound in her belly recovered instantly.
