Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain's POV

Jumping down from the building, Lucian slid down the wall like a monkey and in a few seconds, he had touched the ground with a loud thud.

Dusting his body and adjusting himself to the best of his ability, to make himself look presentable.

But it all that was for naught as he was just as dirty and stinky as he was before. The dust in his face and hair, the slimy substance that had hardened on his skin with the mixture of the dust in the surrounding area.

He looked like a mad man instead. He would be unable to change anything anyways without a proper bath.

But Lucian didn't know that. Bringing out the compass, Lucian activated the last use. An holographic image of an arrow popped up, it spy for a few seconds before landing on a direction.

Without hesitation, Lucian moved. Without using any skills or techniques, Lucian burst through the trees like a bullet. Just his physical speed was now equivalent to him activating Crimaon step!

Fleeting through the trees, his body was weightless, as though he was made of cotton instead of organs. He was like the breeze as he dodged through the dense trees and passed through the dense forest.

He felt more free and he felt as though a chain holding him down had been broken. It seems the first evolution phenomenon he had encountered didn't just stop at increasing his strength, it also made reduced his body weight.

He felt his speed was even more astonishing than when he revolved his blood. It was as though his physical ability has enhanced his internal ability.

Hence, he came to a conclusion. Internal ability was a bit safe, slow but rewarding while the enhancement from his external strength was quick but equally dangerous as there were more than a 90% chance of dying.

After almost half an hour of running, Lucian finally felt a little out of breath, he immediately activated his talent, his stamina that was almost half used up was restored to the maximum, and he continued his run without any obstructions.

Lucian slowed down a little when he saw he was about to reach his destination, and ahead of him, he could hear several people fighting at a distance.

This made Lucian frown slightly, although he had been expecting to meet other students, he hadn't though he would meet them this early and even at the supply box location.

Pursing his lips in thought, Lucian shrugged. He would just act according to the situation.

Using just fifty percent of his ability, Lucian jumped out of the dense yellow forest and jumped into the large open area that was caused by either fighting or had been naturally there.

Jumping onto a tree, he saw five students standing a few meters apart in some sort of an pentagonal formation, attacking and defending against an elite grade beast that was at level 30.

The Stone Fist monkey.

Even though they didn't have the strength to fight off the beast, they truly were doing great jobs at repelling the beast.

At the back of the students was a supply box. Lucian's eyes instantly lit up as he saw it wasn't an ordinary treasure box as it was golden in color.

It was a grade silver treasure box.

He grinned softly.

"Nice!"

He could just swoop in and take the stuffs within the box if he used his full ability but it was unknown how much time the Golden box would require to unlock and it was unknown if the five students would give him the opportunity to guy open the box.

Or he could just kill the beast while they had its attention and maybe silence the students while taking the box for himself. It was as simple as that, there was barely anything wrong with the plan and the probability of things going haywire was low.

The people consist of four males and a female student.

Two guys that were pretty good at taking the stone fist monkey's punch were stationed at the forefront while at the forefront, in their midst was the lady who attacked when there was a chance and retreated immediately under the cover of the two guys by her side.

While the other two students at the back used the opportunity to attack when the aggro of the beast had been shifted to the girl.

And the last person at the back was free to do as he pleases, to attack it to defend.

They had a pretty great teamwork and it seems as though they trust each other with their lives.

Lucian frowned at that thought, it was a bit foreign to him since he came here. "Trusting someone else with your life?" Lucian mocked openly.

But it appeared that he had spoken to loudly.

As the male student that was at the back, the back end of the pentagon formation glanced straight at him as though he knew he had been there.

Lucian blinked as he stared expressionlessly at the guy.

After a few seconds of a stare down, the guy suddenly shouted.

"What are you still doing up there, hurry and open the box and let's get the hell out of here." He yelled while retreating as he had just repelled one massive fist of the two meters tall monkey.

Lucian was stunned, as well as the other four student, but they were quick to recover and the stone monkey was unable to use its chance to surprise them.

Lucian was still surprised. But was instantly jolted awake as the guy spoke out once more "We don't have all day."

Squinting his eyes, Lucian gaze penetrated the boy who was still focused on the stone fist monkey and he smirked lightly.

"Let's see what you are up to." Lucian mumbled to himself. In the face of true power, all tricks are useless. Lucian grinned.

In the face of true strength, all tricks are useless. With such thought in mind, Lucian revolved his blood and like a turbine engine, his heartbeat punched through his chest repeatedly.

He moved like a phantom and in the next few seconds, he was before the box.

At the sound of another enticing heartbeat, the stone fist monkey instantly looked at the distance in front of it and behind the five students and was instantly enraged by what it he saw.

The box it had spent most of its life protecting like it was its child especially the enticing gold colour it shone, giving it comfort was about to be sullied by his preys, it couldn't and would take this laying down.

Roar!

It flew in a rage as it stomped its feet to the ground like a bull, while at the same time, repeatedly beating at the ground beneath its feet as though in madness.

Black veins the size of two finger popped up in its arms as it gathered together like a glove armor on its fist, instantly coating them black.

While it beat at the ground rhythmically, the rocks in the ground seem to be attracted to its fist as they gathered to them, attracted by the weird vibration coming from its fist to form another sort of armor ur on its fist.

In the next second, it was as though it had truly worn a stone glove. It was the stone fist ability.

"Watch out! It is activating its ability!" the female student yelled.

The gazes of the other students changed slightly as they responded with a grunt and almost as thought they had rehearsed it, they all dove to the sides like a bird.

Boom!

And in just a split seconds after that, the stone monkey had punched that exact location, instantly creating a few inches hole to the ground, bringing up dust in the surroundings.

It seems they didn't call it the stone fist monkey for nothing.

Hurriedly standing back up, they were quick on their feet as they stood in the exact same formation as before, and as the beast was about to use the opportunity it had created to launch an attack on Lucian, the team occupied its attention again by attacking it more fiercely than before.

The ability dispersed as the veins and trapped stone on its fist receded The beast didn't activate the ability in that moment as It seems it had to rest a bit before executing it's genetic ability.

One of the male students in the team, that was busy defending against the stone fist attacks, suddenly yelled, asking "How much time left!?"

There was a sudden silence and it took Lucian about a second and a half to realise that the guy was talking to him. Upon realising that, he instantly responded back hurriedly.

"Hold on for a bit, only about five seconds left!" Lucian yelled back and he watch as the progress bar continued to increase.

Lucian felt strangely excited in this situation as the others struggled for their lives.
