Chapter 266 264. Death Wind
Amara could not believe it but she knew her brother very well. Those eyes of hers were not lying, He was telling the truth.
A truth which is more unthinkable than a fantasy and is her current nightmare.
She would have been the most excited and happy person in the world if Alex has SS-rank physique or powers.
As no matter how tempting SS-rank things are, Even if it is revealed no one had the guts to try and take it away from the heir of the Winchester family.
But it's a completely different story when it's SSS-rank. This rank is said to not exist, So if it somehow revealed Alex has it then even the Winchester family can't save him.
"Well, I am special, aren't I?"
Alex sarcastically said, Yeah , he is special, special needs that is.
He really could not believe he reveled this key information to the world, He did not have power nor enough background to resist if hell broke loose.
[Ding! Host you should not worry, You are Villain with Villain halo, The things you think of would not happen to the villain it's protagonist script.
If news of your SSS-rank powers were revealed, Around 95% of the forces would try to cater to you to gain your favor.
As most of the strong forces are deemed villains because of the same things you fear they would do to you.
So you as a villain with Villain halo only going to get respect from them, You would not be turned into a street rat like the protagonist.]
System, seeing how panicked Alex became, decided to tell him the critical information.
All the things Alex thought would happen are the things the protagonist experiences, not the villain.
Villains live comfortable life and enjoy every bit of it till protagonist come knocking in
on to their door.
Then and only then does the villain suffer, As long as the protagonist is not involved, the Villain does not have to fear anything at all.
'....Why can't I think that?'
When the system spoke the first thing that Alex thought was, Why he didn't think that, It's obvious.
He is a villain, Villain is beloved by the world and hated by heaven.
As long as the protagonist does not interfere, Villain has a happy life. They would not be insulted and beaten off like dog for the face
slapping like a protagonist.
He first hand experience it, Even when world thought of him white face he only got praises not insults as for them with his face it's honor to be with him.
It's all obvious and yet because of that dumbass he nearly gives himself a heart attack by over thinking.
….
"Ahhcho!!~ Did I catch a cold?"
Away from the hospital in the big shop dear innocent Rose said to herself as for while she was sneezing non-stop.
"Miss, are you sure you want to buy this horse cart? We also sell top notch quality horses suitable for this cart."
The attendant disturbed her thoughts and once again recommended good horses that go with the carts Rose brought.
She has been saying this to Rose since she came into the store but Rose is adamant to just buy a cart not the horse.
Normally there is no issue but it's a horse cart, It's given that you need a horse.
Especially when Rose buying overpriced cart that cost in millions UC, For which need a special breed of horses for best performance .
She even offered to give it to her at a quite discounted price on top of the combo offer that comes with buying a horse cart.
"Horse? What am I going to do with the horse? They are not suitable for the city."
Rose looked at the clerk annoyed as she was tired of answering this question over and over again.
Horses are not suitable for the city, Where is she going to keep them? She didn't even know horse riding, so what's the point of buying it?
"?????"
Clerk was speechless hearing it, I mean it's true horses are not suitable for the city but so do carts.
Actually horsecart is more useless and expensive than a horse in the city as it needs a horse to even work.
"Wait! I got it, How dumb I was indeed why you need horses in the city? it's a waste of money, You are a smart young lady."
Unfortunately for the clerk she just became a victim of the broken passive of Rose and became dumb making Rose the smartest person in the room.
And so of course she finally saw the "logic" of Rose and sold just the cart to her.
Rose too was happy with her purchase given the address of her 'secret' place and left completely forgetting Helen gave her clear instructions not to waste money on the useless thing.
...
[Ding! Host you are not in the influence of Rose's passive powers.]
System seeing Alex once again misunderstood and blamed poor Rose come out and point it out.
Rose power actually only remains for a little while and would go away without leaving residual effects.
Rose is long since away from the hospital and from him, It's been hours so her passive is long since expired.
'So what is it? Why did I suddenly become this dumb?'
Alex was taken aback by the hearing system but then it made sense, Just while ago he was normal, Heck he even tricked Sandra.
So it seems Rose is not all to blame but still that dumbass has blame to share, He sure of it.
[Ding! It's Yin energy surrounding you host, Most of your soul is busy resisting it, And so for while your intelligence took a drop.
Well it's not just yours, Everyone in this room becomes dumber because of it.
But it's not a matter of concern. This Yin energy is not on purpose released. It's the aftermath of the very strong spirit of undead trying to spy on you. You don't have to worry.
Just urge your SS-Rank fire emperor power to run in your body, It would cleanse it.]
System responded to Alex and even gave the reason, telling him it's not a big deal, It's just that the strong undead took interest in him and were just spying on him.
'Why do I think the system is also affected by it?'
Alex was speechless hearing the system saying it's no matter of concern. For who?
Because he damn sure that it is a matter of concern to him when he was being hunted by the spirit of the undead.
Still before doing anything he just did as instructed and ran his blazing fire inside his body clearing the Yin in his body.
Though normally Yin did not matter because of his Legendary Incubus body but level of this undead should be too much that it's Yin is like a death wind, There is no need to tell why it is dangerous for the living being.
After all it's a wind that flow out of the underworld in the world of living, Which is forbidden to happen and has effecct of absorbing living energy of the living beings, Which make victims either fall into coma or at least bed ridden for while because of the weakness.
The only reason why no one suffered by it in this room is because everyone in here has special identity in this world along with enough power to passively fight it off.
'It seems even Amara and Sandra is affected by it.'
Just as fire blaze through him, His mind becomes clear like someone just opened the window of some very stuffy room.
Immediately he noticed that even Amara acted like stupid. She asked loudly about it without even sealing the space for private talk which is so easy for her to do.
'I can use this to my advantage.'
Alex wanted to snap his finger and let his flame dance around the ward to clear the air of death, After all fire is just like sunlight is natural and only one of few counters of such unholy forces.
But stopped, His IQ is online now and so of course the first thing he thought of was how to take advantage of such a god given opportunity.
(A/N : If you remember, It's mentioned why fire is a natural counter to the death wind.
If you don't remember, In summary fire represents both life and death just like sun and so against Death wind it's best option in absence of sunlight.
As for why I use Yin, Yang, such taoist words? because that's what I used to read with and so all of you guys, It's easy and familiar so why change it?
By the way, I am feeling good now. It seems playing 7 hours straight games help, It would be no time till I would get that motivation hit.
Like always thank you for reading and have a good day ?? .)
