"Just what I needed for the next phase of my plans," Aaron smiled, returning to the sanctuary to actually use the skill. The sanctuary's familiar glow enveloped him, a safe haven where he could experiment without prying eyes, the air humming with latent power from his system.
He created the doppelganger clone, which returned back to the school to take his role. The clone materialized with a faint shimmer, mirroring Aaron's appearance down to the last detail, its movements synchronized as it slipped out to handle the mundane school life.
While he used his phantom mask to change his appearance. Instead of his usual Aaron face, he became Void of Retribution once more.
After changing to Void, Aaron exited the sanctuary. He didn't return to his school, but instead his villa which has been marked a long time ago.
"Who are you?" A man sitting comfortably on the couch in Aaron's family villa asked Void, startled by his appearance in the villa out of nowhere. The man's eyes widened, his relaxed posture shattered as Void's sudden materialization cut through the quiet room like a blade.
"Should be asking that question. Who are you?" Void asked, observing the guy quietly. His gaze swept over the intruder, noting the subtle tension in his muscles, the faint aura of S-rank power lingering like a threat.
"You are not supposed to be here. I have no choice than to kill you now," the man said, rising to his feet. His voice carried a mix of annoyance and eagerness, assigned by Geralt to scour the villa for the abyss key, his frustration from a fruitless week boiling over.
He was an S rank talent under Geralt assigned to search the villa with some others for the abyss key. The task had worn him down, endless searches yielding nothing, his team scattered but persistent in their hunt for the elusive artifact.
Spending an entire week searching without finding the key had frustrated him to death and seeing a stranger he could use as a stress reliever filled him with joy. A wicked grin spread across his face, the prospect of violence a welcome distraction from the tedium.
"I'm going to ensure I break every bone in your body. And then I get the answer from you," the man said, cracking his knuckles in excitement. The cracks echoed in the room, his body swelling with power, anticipation building like a storm.
His body grew bigger, with layers of rocks covering his body neatly like some armour. The rocks formed a rugged shell, enhancing his strength and defense, turning him into a living fortress ready to crush his prey.
He stared at Void like a prey walking slowly towards him. His steps were deliberate, heavy, the floor creaking under his increased weight, eyes locked on Void with predatory intent.
The man froze at an instant. Warning bells ringing in his head. He lost track of Void, standing before him. Panic surged as Void vanished from sight, the air growing thick with unease.
"Where did you go?" He screamed, trying to remain confident as he scanned the entire room in search for Void. Sweat beaded on his forehead, his rock armor shifting slightly with his frantic movements.
"Tell me truly. Who really are you?" Void asked the man, appearing right behind him, holding his arm tightly. The grip was vise-like, Void's hybrid strength pressing down without mercy.
"Let go of me you bastard!" The S rank talent screamed, throwing a punch at Void's face which Void dodged effortlessly. The punch whistled through the air, missing by inches, the man's rage fueling his wild swing.
"That's not the answer I was hoping for," Void muttered coldly, applying more pressure to the arm and snapping the bone. The crack was sharp, echoing like a whip in the villa's silence.
"Aaahhhh!!!" The man screamed in pain, holding his broken arm in fear and anger. Agony twisted his features, his rock armor cracking slightly from the shock.
"Contended yet? Or should we try again?" Void asked looking at the man calmly. His voice was even, devoid of emotion, a stark contrast to the chaos he'd unleashed.
He took a second to observe the villa, nostalgia taking over when he looked beyond the scattered nature of the villa, which felt like it was being torn down. Furniture overturned, walls marked from searches, it stirred memories of happier times now violated.
"You bastard! I swear I will kill you!" The man roared, swinging his other arm at Void, hoping to land a clean hit. Desperation fueled the attack, his good arm swinging with all his remaining might.
Void easily dodged the blow, kicking the man right at his abdomen and sending him flying. The kick landed with precision, the impact like a hammer, propelling the man backward.
The man broke the wall of the villa, flying outside. Debris scattered, the wall crumbling as he crashed into the yard, groaning amid the dust.
"I'm going to have you pay for that damaged wall," Void said calmly, appearing before the man at an instant. His teleportation was seamless, a blur of shadows placing him over the fallen intruder.
"Now tell me. What are you doing here. Or I kill you," Void asked calmly. His tone left no room for games, the threat hanging heavy in the air.
"I... I...urghhh!!!" The man screamed in pain falling on his ground. His words choked off as agony overtook him, collapsing to the dirt.
"We can't let you spill the beans can we?" A man covered in cloak appeared behind the young man, muttering words only he could hear. his eyes covered with a blindfold, while he was put on a cloak. The cloaked figure's presence was sudden, his blindfold adding an air of mystery, his cloak billowing slightly.
