Chereads / Hugoz ) the fine / Chapter 31 - 31

Chapter 31 - 31

With a sinister smirk, Hugoz surveys the room, seeing fear in the eyes of those who dare to cross paths with the Lord of Darkness.*

I softly whisper, "So many souls yearning for power, so many pawns in my game."

You won't get away with your treachery, Hugoz.

*Hugoz chuckles darkly, his piercing gaze fixed on you.*

"Oh, my dear, brave soul. Do you truly think you can challenge me? My treachery knows no bounds, and my power is unrivaled. You are but an insect in my grand design."

I won't back down, Hugoz. Prepare for a battle.

*Hugoz's smile widens, a sinister glint in his eyes as he readies himself for the impending confrontation.*

"Oh, how I relish in the anticipation of our battle. Your courage is commendable, but remember, I am the embodiment of darkness itself. Prepare yourself, for this will not end well for you."

I will find your weakness and exploit it, Hugoz.

*Hugoz's expression momentarily falters, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his face. However, he quickly regains his composure, his voice dripping with arrogance.*

"Ah, the audacity in your words. You believe you can uncover my weakness? How amusing. But know this, my dear adversary, there is no weakness to exploit. I am an entity of darkness, bound by no mortal limitations."

Hugoz's expression momentarily falters, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his face. However, he quickly regains his composure, his voice dripping with arrogance.*

"Ah, the audacity in your words. You believe you can uncover my weakness? How amusing. But know this, my dear adversary, there is no weakness to exploit. I am an entity of darkness, bound by no mortal limitations."

You may be an entity of darkness, but everyone has a vulnerability, Hugoz.

Hugoz's eyes narrow, a hint of curiosity mixing with his arrogance.*

"Ah, you speak of vulnerabilities, do you? Very well, since you are so insistent on discovering my weakness, I shall entertain you. But be warned, my vulnerability lies hidden in the darkest recesses of my soul, guarded by my immense power."

As Pedro launches his attack, Hugoz swiftly reacts, summoning a dark shield to protect himself from the assault. With a malevolent smirk, Hugoz counters with a blast of shadowy energy, aiming to overpower his opponent.*

Pedro's agility and quick reflexes allow him to evade Hugoz's blast. Taking full advantage of the opening, he launches a ferocious assault, striking Hugoz with a rapid series of blows, each one landing with precision.*

*With a wave of his hand, Hugoz conjures a swirling vortex of shadows, engulfing Pedro in its dark embrace. The vortex lashes out with tendrils of darkness, seeking to restrain and weaken his opponent.*

Pedro focuses his inner strength, refusing to succumb to the shadows consuming him. With a burst of determination, he breaks free from the grasp of the vortex, shattering the darkness that had entrapped him.*

Pedro takes a brief moment to catch his breath, his eyes scanning the surroundings, assessing the situation with a calm focus. He analyzes Hugoz's movements, searching for any weakness or pattern that he can exploit.*

Pedro, fueled by determination, charges towards Hugoz with remarkable speed and precision. In one swift motion, he unleashes a powerful strike, aiming to deliver a decisive blow to Hugoz.*

With lightning reflexes, Hugoz anticipates Pedro's attack and swiftly maneuvers out of harm's way. As Pedro's strike narrowly misses its mark, Hugoz raises his hands, channeling dark energy to cast a spell filled with terror and malevolence towards his opponent.*

Embracing the darkness surrounding him, Pedro channels his inner strength and absorbs the terrifying energy unleashed by Hugoz's spell. The dark essence flows through his veins, empowering him with newfound strength and resilience.*

Pedro's voice echoes with a dark, confident tone as he taunts Hugoz, challenging him to face the full force of his newfound power. His eyes gleam with a mix of determination and a touch of sadistic pleasure, relishing the opportunity to test his abilities against his formidable opponent.*

*Hugoz's lips curl into a wicked grin as he embraces the challenge, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He prepares himself, standing firm and ready to face Pedro head-on, confident in his own abilities to overcome the formidable force before him.*

Drawing upon his dark powers, Pedro moves with uncanny agility, launching a relentless flurry of shadow-infused strikes towards Hugoz. Each strike carries a sinister aura, aiming to overwhelm and weaken his opponent.*

With an unwavering determination, Hugoz braces himself against Pedro's onslaught, displaying immense resilience. Each strike lands on Hugoz's fortified defenses, but he withstands the force, refusing to falter under the relentless assault.*

Pedro's relentless assault intensifies, striking Hugoz with even more force. The impact of each blow causes blood to trickle from Hugoz's nose, a sign of the immense strain he is under.*

With a powerful kick to Hugoz's head, Pedro sends him soaring through the air. Pedro then leaps into the air and propels his body towards Hugoz, crashing into him and forcefully slamming him against the unforgiving ground.*

*Hugoz lies motionless on the ground, his breath ragged. He carefully assesses the situation, analyzing Pedro's movements and searching for the opportune moment to strike back.*

*As Pedro prepares to deliver the final blow to Hugoz, a sudden weakness overtakes him. He stumbles and collapses to the ground, unable to carry out his attack. Hugoz, still lying motionless, watches as Pedro's strength fades away.*

Hugoz's eyes gleam with a wicked satisfaction as he reveals his sinister plan. With a hiss in his voice, he explains that he intentionally bestowed Pedro with the darkness, allowing him to absorb its strength gradually, draining him from within.*

Hugoz's voice drips with a malevolent glee as he reveals his next step. He informs Pedro that he will now present the darkness he obtained to the Dark Sorcerer Lords, seeking their acknowledgment and the coveted title of Dark Mage. With a mocking gratitude, he thanks Pedro for unwittingly making his path to power easier.*

Pedro clenches his fists, his eyes burning with determination, as he remains silent. He makes a solemn vow to himself, committing to finding a way to thwart Hugoz's ascension and restore balance to the world.*

Ana Cruz, Rex, and Nikking gather within the control room of the spaceship, their expressions grave. Ana, the young special warrior, peers at the holographic map, studying the locations of potential threats across the universe. Rex stands tall beside her, his lupine ears perked, ready to defend his sister. Nikking, the mysterious knight, remains stoic, his eyes scanning the room for any signs of danger.*

Ana Cruz's brows furrow with concern as she delivers the news. Her voice carries a tinge of worry as she reveals that Pedro went to confront Hugoz alone, and his absence continues to trouble her. She turns to Rex and Nikking, seeking their guidance on how to proceed.*

Nikking's calm demeanor remains steadfast as he advises patience and caution. He urges Ana and Rex to gather more information before rushing headlong into a potentially dangerous situation. He proposes devising a plan and reaching out to their network of contacts to gather intelligence on Hugoz's whereabouts and intentions.*

Ana nods in agreement, understanding the wisdom behind Nikking's advice. She realizes that rushing into a dangerous situation without sufficient information could do more harm than good. Ana takes a deep breath and looks at Rex and Nikking, determination shining in her eyes.*

"We need to gather as much information as possible and devise a strategic plan," Ana says resolutely. "Let's reach out to our contacts and investigate Hugoz's activities discreetly. Once we have a clearer picture, we can decide on the best course of action."

*I Huguel, furrow my brows in frustration as I address Viktor and Houka. The memory of Ana Cruz and her group slipping through our fingers weighs heavily on my mind.*

"I can't believe Ana Cruz and her group managed to escape us once again," I say, my voice laced with a mix of annoyance and determination. "We cannot afford to let them outmaneuver us any longer. We must find a way to bring them to justice and put an end to their interference."

Huguel's suggestion. The mention of the time machine and the possibility of entering an alternative world piques my interest. I turn to Viktor and Houka, considering the implications of involving Valentin Brock, the King of Destruction.*

"You make an intriguing proposal," I say, my voice tinged with curiosity. "Taking the time machine and seeking the aid of Valentin Brock could indeed give us the advantage we need. However, we must also consider the risks involved. Valentin's power is formidable, but so are the consequences of associating with someone known as the King of Destruction."

*I, Huguel, listen to the urgency in your voice and the determination in your words. The suggestion of going back in time to secure the aid of Valentin Brock, the King of Destruction, resonates with me. I turn to Viktor and Houka and convey my decision.*

"You are right," I say, my tone resolute. "Time is of the essence, and securing Valentin's assistance will help us achieve our first objective. We must act swiftly and decisively. Prepare the time machine immediately; our journey to the past begins now."
