Villain of my own novel

Chapter 385  384. Party Pooper.

"Do not, Louie!" Frostine's loud roar sounded and halted him in his steps as he was about to reach Isha, who seemed to be bleeding a bit too excessively.

Louie opened his mouth to complain, stopped himself, gazed at Isha's state and finally managed to notice how her expression indicated joy instead of anxiety, a shiver crawled over his spine, but managing to shrug off that nearly overwhelming feeling, Louie rushed towards Arngrim, Katline, and Hana, who seemed to be closing in on Vine and his doll, thanks to the domain quacking support of Grace's summoning skills.

"Can I help them now?" Amanda asked Core with a cute smile on her face.

"Go all out or stay out of it." Core bluntly stated.

"Alright~" Amanda's smile only widened at Core's words, as she jumped off of the slab and jumped into the fray.

"Warp!" Amanda muttered as soon as her foot left the slab and her body electrolyzed and disappeared from the spot before she reappeared directly above Vine and his doll, with tongues of lightning stretching wide from her body.

With her arms stretched out wide, "Mjölnir!" She roared. A threatening tempest was unleashed in an instant, riddled with powerful and wild lightning that converged at one point before being struck down at her, instead of her enemies.

By the next instance, she had disappeared from the spot she stood, reappeared right in front of Vine and his doll as her arms flickered with wild tongues of lightning enveloping her whole;

"Boltz!" She cried out while her arms touched Vine and the doll without them even noticing it happen before strong lightning bolts struck them, and the skill even managed to form an arc that lead them to be stunned by lightning constantly.

Noticing her spell working as she intended to, Amanda pulled back her right hand, clenched it into a fist coated by lightning, "Shock pulse!" She muttered and punched at the doll's chest.

With a loud lightning clap, a pulse imploded within the doll and dismantled the doll into pieces in an instant. Knowing the stun effect on Vine wouldn't last much longer with a link's target lost, Amanda pulled her fist back and punched at his chest this time, employing the same skill that destroyed the doll.

"Shock Pulse!"

The same imploding phenomenon unfolded within Vine, who was pushed back ever-so-slightly, but her for sure kill skill failed her as she was unable to kill Vine.

'I need to get aw-' As she was channelling her mana to get away, her consciousness shuddered in fear, breaking her focus when her gaze inadvertently caught Vine's palm reaching out at her face, at that instance, she knew for sure that she would die the moment his palm touched her and there was no stopping that certain death.

BAM-!

With a subtle bam, something hit Vine's abdomen at its centre and pushed him back right when his palm was about to touch Amanda's face.

Noticing a regular tree trunk-sized pillar of ice stuck onto Vine's abdomen, pushing him back, Amanda thanked Frostine inwardly and disappeared from her previously standing spot, only to reappear next to her saviour, trembling.

"That was scarier than the horror house....." Amanda muttered in a trembling tone and disappeared before Frostine and the rest commented at her reckless actions. Of course, her words managed to entice unsavoury memories in Neal, Dominic, Core, and Belinda, but it wasn't an appropriate time to get all emotional.

"Core, how much longer do we have to wait?!" Frostine asked, frustration apparent in her tone.

"And won't we have to help Eshwar!!?" She asked.

After a momentary silence,

"You want to help Eshwar?" Core asked in mocking tone, without even turning to face Frostine, who frowned upon hearing her words.

"Wha-"

"How do you think you are able to use mana when Vine's domain was supposed to have sealed them?" Core asked and Frostine couldn't help but turn silent as she pondered over something that was supposed to be obvious.

"Don't think too much, none of us are strong enough to do something so absurd, the answer should be quite obvious actually." Core stated.

"..... Is that why Eshwar is kneeling? Because he used too much power to lift the seal?" Frostine questioned under her breath with a deep frown on her face.

"How much is "too much?" And is your "too much" really too much to Eshwar? Do you really think he would have to use too much power to undo this measly seal?" Core stated with a scoff. At those words, Frostine couldn't help but shut her mouth, she wanted to question what was going on and why was Eshwar kneeling like that even while Isha was getting hurt to an extreme level, but she knew that she would only sound stupid if she voiced her questions even after remembering that he, Eshwar, was supposed to be an absolute being, at least in their views.

But,

Even then,

There was a question that pricked in her consciousness,

"..... Why are standing still and doing nothing?" Was a question Frostine wanted to know an answer to, but she wasn't the one that posed that question, instead it was Belinda.

"Because," Core muttered as she continued to gaze at Vine, who was in the middle of Hana's, Katline's, Louie's, Arngrim's, Amanda's, and Grace's summoned guardians' encirclement.

"It is impossible for us to win." Core stated, and as if on cue;

"Alright, enough playing around." Vine muttered coldly.

His mana swirled next to him before his doll materialized in that spot, while he raised his hand in front of his head and

SNAP-!

With a mere snap of his fingers, fear got etched within them----Seo Hana, Katline, Frostine, Amanda, Dominic, Core, Arngrim, Neal, Louie, Belinda, and even in the unconscious Grace, who was jolted awake, trembling.

Their active skills and spells, together with the clones summoned by the doll dissipated into thin air, but the pressure on a certain man hadn't been lifted, instead was intensified. The pressure was so strong that it could be felt even by those that stood far away from his location.

While Isha, who was having fun after a long while, had a dissatisfied expression when she noticed the clones dissipating; she ignored her bleeding state that was healed with a huff by the next instance.

She appeared next to Seo Hana and the others, before Frostine and the rest who were quite far away were forced to appear next to her with a flick of her wrist.

"You're no fun~" Isha complained with a pout as she glared at Vine, who frowned in confusion.

".... Can she not understand the situation she is in-" Vine questioned gazing at her before his gaze landed on Hana, whom his question was directed at.

But,

His words got stuck in his throat when he noticed that the gazes of those in front of didn't display any fear even though their bodies were trembling in utter fear, thanks to them standing near him.

"Well, he is a kind of party pooper; don't blame him too much."

"!!!"
