Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

Thomas' eyebrows shot up and his mouth opened in disbelief. His gaze shifted from Lucas to the floor, and then back again. 'Novel? Book? What is he talking about?', he thought to himself. He shook his head, unable to comprehend what he was hearing.

"You're just a crazy full, Lucas. You have no idea what you're doing." Thomas said, but then he noticed the red dragon. "You bastard! Are you with him?!"

Elcides' mouth hung agape as Thomas roared with rage. His gaze darted between Thomas and Lucas, eyes widening in disbelief. He let out a low whistle, "That kid was right - this guy is a demon lord!"

"Speak up!" Thomas roared a command but was met with an unexpected force. A ball of fire shot from the enemy and seared through his mana-forged belly armor with ease. Thomas stumbled back, trying to regain his footing as he clutched the charred remains of his armor in disbelief.

"Did... Did you just sneak attack me you fucking bastard?!" He screamed as he launched himself at super speed toward Lucas.

"Your target is me, dumb cat." Lucas said mockingly.

Lucas was smiling, he watched Thomas's every footprint, every muscle movement in his body, waiting for him to make his move. When Thomas made his first attack, Lucas moved his left foot forward a few inches, waiting for Thomas to make his move again. As soon as he did, Lucas stepped back, waiting for the next attacking step. Lucas' movements were very subtle, only few would ever notice a difference in his expression, posture, or stance, but Thomas was sure he had seen a movement when he first stepped forward.

Thomas moved again, this time more cautiously. Lucas smiled mockingly, he looked down at his feet and then at Thomas' feet. Thomas was standing in the same place, but he had changed his angle to an attack angle. 'He's done something!', Lucas thought to himself.

Lucas' eyes narrowed, and he finally understood why Thomas was moving the way he was, he was trying to get a clear shot at him. Lucas smirked, 'You're too slow!'

Enraged Thomas launched a huge fireball toward Lucas, then he started to form a portal beside him, so he could catch him off guard.

"Stupid, he seriously thought this would work?" Lucas muttered the moment he spotted a white portal from which, Thomas's elongated hand with thin, pointed claws plunged out to try and catch him.

Lucas felt the veins in his arms bulge as his mana prepared to be unleashed. He had trained himself to control it with precision, using only enough to protect himself from harm without losing sight of his original form. But this time, he could sense danger around him and released the full strength of his mana to form a menacing black armor around him, harder than diamond and more resilient than steel. His body tensed as he felt himself becoming an unstoppable force ready to confront whatever danger lurked in the portal.

"Got you, buddy!~" Lucas's voice sounded like that of a beast of nightmares, but it was still playful. He caught Thomas's hand and squeezed it with all his might, breaking it.

"You bastard!" Thomas screamed in pain. He couldn't believe how much stronger Lucas was just in a few weeks. His biggest regret is that he never trained in Lightburn, as there was never such a threat that Drake couldn't defeat. But now there were two of them; Angel Lucas and Demon lord Dorian. "Let go of me!"

Thomas's amber eyes glimmered with anger as he released the curse magic from his palm, opening his palm fully and showing Lucas the glowing orb of coiled magic. He hurled the fireball at Lucas's face, then released all of his energy at once.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Thomas growled and gritted his teeth as he removed the portal; resulting in cutting his hand off.

Lucas's eyes widened as the fireball smashed into his face. He screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Thomas was scorched with pain as well as his sight was marred by the sizzling fireball.

"N-Now you've done it." Lucas's growled as he vomited blood.

He did not receive the regular fireball; instead, he was hit by the one made of cursed magic. His face's mana armor was completely gone, and his skin was torn off in some places, revealing a black liquid that formed red eyes within his wounds. The eyes glowed with bloodlust, sending chills down both Thomas and Elcide's spines.

"W-What the hell are you?!" Thomas screamed in shock.

"I-I told you. I'm a fucking angel." Lucas's voice was no longer playful, but vicious, his tone had turned menacing and his face was distorted by dozens of eyes. Above the head, there was a weird black halo rotating. And his disfigured wings showed signs of having weird feathers.

As the sticky black liquid dropped from Lucas's wounds, it splashed onto the burnt ground and created two widening circles of darkness that flashed in the sunlight. Soon two pairs of eyes appeared in the drops, staring up at Thomas.

"Angel? You're a fucking monster!" Thomas yelled out, his mana armor became unstable and started to diminish, turning his body back to normal. "W-What?!" He couldn't believe what just happened as he stared at his own hands that turned back to normal. "What did you do?!"

Unfortunately for Thomas, angelic mana was very toxic to him and the more contact he had with it, the more damaging it was. Even worse, Lucas had caught his hand and infused that mana directly into Thomas's body.

"Y-You poisoned me?" Thomas's voice shook in despair as he lost all hope of winning.

Lucas lifted himself from the ground and glared at the two of them. He looked disfigured, something that would send shivers down anyone's spine. His hands were trembling with rage and a second halo appeared as he snarled, "You hit me in the face with cursed magic, you piece of shit! That shit doesn't heal easily!"

This was the moment of truth, this is the moment Thomas was weakened and could be killed. Lucas flapped his wings, releasing a dozen feather projectiles toward Thomas's.

"Die already you fucking asshole!"
