My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains[part 1 Complete ]

Chapter 31.1 That's What Happened

〚What's the point of this?〛

Marquis Riverback brought up while in the air.

It was an expression of absurdity mixed with thick ridicule.

He was literally chasing this man with his demonic flying ability.

Naturally, he would have doubts what flying high like this would do. Much less, if it would even work.

"Well, of course, I have my reasons."

However, Dowd simply shrugged and replied.

He seemed to be hiding something even here, but Marquis Riverback snorted and raised his hand.

This was merely prolonging his puny life for a few more seconds.

〚Hah, I guess you're just at this level. Alright, go die...!〛

He's finally going to kill him.

At least, that's what would have happened if the black mist emanating from the essence embedded in his chest didn't suddenly disappear.

No, it didn't just stop there.

His entire body began to "melt away."

His skin, form was just collapsing, like a wax figure melting close to fire.

〚What...!〛

Marquis Riverback looked down at his body with a bewildered expression.

〚What is this...!〛

His body has fused with the essence he received from the Prophet. He had an invincible body that even this cunning guy couldn't do anything about.

So, why is this happening?

"Let's think logically, shall we? Some common sense."

Seeing Marquis Riverback's reaction, Dowd smirked and said.

He did so while casually turning off the beeping alarm on his wristwatch.

It's almost as if the alarm had been set, knowing that this would happen exactly at this moment.

"Isn't it strange that you, who didn't even have a decent fighting ability, can continue to use such strong abilities without restrictions?"

〚What...?〛

"That's one of the representative side effects of fusing with the Devil's Essence. Burnout. Using too much magic to the point where your body collapses. Didn't your Prophet explain that when they gave it to you?"

〚...What, nonsense, I don't believe, no-〛

In fact, he had not heard of such side effects.

This was meant to be a 'sign of loyalty'.

"It would have been really dangerous if you weren't so conceited and didn't take your time after you ate the essence. I don't have that many cards."

Saying so, Dowd pulled out the cylinder on his waist.

Just a few minutes ago, I wouldn't have been able to relax like this. In front of the transformed Marquis Riverback, all I could do was run away with all my might.

But now.

I could even sit back and watch as Marquis Riverback's body collapse in real time.

It's just that I won't be doing that. I will be making sure he's thoroughly defeated.

Dowd silently smirked and manipulated the cylinder case.

It contained processed Ectoplasm, primed for explosion, imbued with divine power.
