Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

?The dragon opened his mouth and fired a purple flame at him, but Lucas blocked it with his wings. Another fire blast fired at him, and Lucas punched it with black fire engulfing his fist.

"Are you having fun, you overgrown lizard?!" Lucas jumped towards the dragon and screamed.

Lucas's eyes were glowing bright red. His skin constantly released black angelic mana liquid that continued to solidify, turning into armor. This liquid metal hurt his flesh and bones as if it was devouring him from the inside but he didn't care. He punched and kicked, even opening his mouth to bite the dragon at this point.

He was determined to win.

The dragon started to feel pressured and he knew he had to finish this fight quickly if he wanted to win. He gathered his flame mana and focused it into his claws and spread it to his wings.

"You have no idea!" The dragon screamed.

"That's a stupid thing to do, dragon!" Lucas said with a smirk as his eyes started to glow brighter as he created a black fireball on top of his palm. "Your anger is making it easier for me to kill you."

The dragon whipped his tail at Lucas, striking him and sending him flying to the cave, then into the wall. He smacked into it and sank in before he was able to free himself from it. He screamed in pain as he threw a black fire sphere at the dragon and flew at it, using his wings to augment his speed.

"What a pain in the ass!" the dragon roared and spit hundreds of fireballs into the sky, from where Lucas was coming at him.

As Lucas was drawing nearer to the dragon, it began to breathe heavily. Simultaneously, the dragon and Lucas each conjured their mana in the palms of their hands. Both draw upon the power within themselves.

"Dammit!"

The dragon unleashed an ear-shattering roar that shook the cave, sending chunks of rock and debris flying everywhere in its wake. His wings pounded against the air as he flew towards Lucas, leaving a trail of searing flames that threatened to burn everything in its path. As the dragon flew, the cave crumbled around them, reducing everything it touched to embers. The dragon, with its fireball magic, flew faster and faster toward Lucas, unleashing a flurry of heat and destruction.

"Now that's more like it!" Lucas yelled in excitement as he watched the forest set on fire. He flew a little further into the sky and smirked as he pointed his palm toward the dragon.

"Come back here you brat!" The dragon screamed in anger.

The dragon charged after Lucas determined to finish the fight. He wanted to catch Lucas and burn off those angel wings of his with his fire magic. So he pointed his fireball at him as flew toward him.

Lucas readied himself by gathering all his remaining strength into his palm, creating a dark magic ball. He knew he had to win despite this being a friendly spar. He used every last bit of mana left in him, glowing brightly with a mysterious dark energy that surrounded him like a cloak of darkness.

"I am not going anywhere! You damn lizard!" Lucas yelled.

Lucas flew forward and two fireballs clashed creating a massive explosion that shook the ground below with a mighty force. The explosion sent Lucas and the dragon flying in opposite directions, both too weak to continue the fight.

They tumbled through the sky and crashed into the ground with a loud thud. The forest was set ablaze as both creatures lay on their backs, motionless as they tried to process what had just happened. The two of them lost their hands and were severely bleeding and burnt.

"Holy hell, you're strong, dumb lizard!" Lucas said while breathing heavily and looking at his lost arm.

The dragon tried to get up but it couldn't because he was in a lot of pain. The dragon was staring at his lost limb which was releasing a massive amount of blood.

"Dammit." the dragon muttered.

Lucas coughed a few times, then he started laughing like a madman.

"Man... The only time I was this exhausted was after a fight with a demon." He said as he touched his forehead.

"I guess I believe you now." The dragon burst out in laughter but quickly started coughing.

"Whatever. I don't think I remember your name." Lucas said as he tried getting up. However, his weakened body was too exhausted to do anything more than just lie on the floor as he looked up at the sky with half-lidded eyes.

"My name? Hm, probably not."

"So what's your name?" Lucas asked again while trying to stand.

"I'm Erath Alcides."

"Alcides?" Lucas said as he made a frown. "A name couldn't get worse than that."

The dragon's lips curled downward as its scaled brows furrowed. Its jaws clacked and red-orange flames flickered in its nostrils. "And you think your name is better?!" it rumbled in a low, threatening rumble.

"Sorry, not sorry." Lucas glanced slyly at the dragon and playfully stuck his tongue out.

Lucas let out a low chuckle, the corners of his mouth turning up. His eyes sparkled and seemed to glisten brighter than usual. He had a spring in his step as he walked, always in high spirits after a good rush of adrenaline.

He tried to stand up again with a smile on his face. But it was still hard for him. This made him sigh.

"We should get out of here before the hunters show up." he said with a slightly worried voice.

"What home? You just destroyed my home." the dragon roared, but quickly stopped and coughed out blood.

"I-It's not that bad..." Lucas turned his gaze away in embarrassment.

"Really?" the dragon said sarcastically and pointed his hand toward the sky. "Then what's this?!"

The dragon's fiery gaze set the sky ablaze, the blinding flames illuminating the night sky. Fireballs descended like burning meteors, crashing into the earth and radiating a furnace of heat. The oppressive black smoke hung in the air like a curtain, swallowing all starlight until the sky was a furious glowing ember. The ground trembled with a roar as the fire roared with intense hunger.𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶
