Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel
Chapter 27 Thomas Confronts Dorian

Thomas, who raised his hand toward the sleeping demon, gasped.

"The fuck are you doing?!" Thomas yelled out as Elizabeth blocked his path toward Dorian.

"Stay away!" She stood between Thomas and Dorian's bed because she noticed Thomas was releasing his murderous aura.

"Get out of my way!" Thomas snarled as he pushed Elizabeth aside. "He's a danger to the kingdom!"

Thomas knew demons are vengeful and emotional creatures. Unlike the angels who are driven by their goal to punish.

"There is only one way to stop disaster from happening." He said, thinking about his own past filled with vengeance and rage.

Emotions like rage and regrets usually fueled demons. They will often resort to violence rather than restrain themselves. He knew an angel wouldn't do something that would endanger the innocent people... But demon? No. He couldn't risk letting Dorian live.

Thomas continued towards Dorian until Elizabeth stepped in between them again.

"Stop!" she cried.

Thomas tried to push past her, but she wouldn't budge. She blocked him with her arms and said, "He's dangerous!"

"He will die anyway." Thomas replied coldly. "If we let him live, he'll destroy this city!"

"WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT?! HE IS POWERLESS! HE HAS NO MAGIC POWER!" she screamed through tears. "He wouldn't even hurt a fly!"

Elizabeth, the once known beauty of the Elemental school, was now just a broken girl who was being tormented by guilt and shame. Her classmates ruined her entire life and now Thomas was threatening to kill her only friend.

She cried, "HELP!" screaming in hopes that nurses or doctors would show up in her aid, but instead she heard a worried Thomas's voice.

"Too late." Thomas said, staring right above Dorian's bed.

"E-Eli..." Dorian whimpered.

Dorian levitated in the air with his eyes closed. His body was limp and unmoving.

"Eeeeeliza..." Dorian whispered.

"D-DORIAN?!" Elizabeth gasped, seeing her friend not only awake but flying.

"Elizabeth..." he finally succeeded in saying her name. He opened his eyes, that were absorbing the light as if two miniature black holes.

"Shit!" Thomas cursed. He pushed Elizabeth through the portal outside. Then he locked his eyes on Dorian. "Hey, buddy. Do you know who you are?"

Dorian stared at him without saying a word. Instead, Dorian raised his hand towards Thomas and gathered black as night mana into his palm.

"O-Of course, this would be his first reaction towards me." Thomas chuckled awkwardly. He created a portal right behind Dorian's back and jumped at him. He pushed Dorian through the portal and the two of them found themselves high in the sky somewhere in the middle of the sea.

"My last mistake was taking the person I fought right beside my kingdom. I won't repeat that mistake!" Thomas shouted angrily. Thomas floated in the sky, watching Dorian falling into the sea.

"If I am lucky, he will pass out in the sea and fall asleep for a couple hundred years," Thomas muttered to himself while gathering mana to create a spell to send him far away.

But one meter before falling into the water, Dorian stopped falling and levitated in one spot.

"Of course..." Thomas groaned. "Everyone now can fly these days." he muttered. "Well... It's time to end this."

Right after Thomas's words, he felt someone's hand on his shoulder. "W-What?" he asked because he could clearly see Dorian still levitating in one spot. Thomas looked back to see Dorian smirking and swinging a fist at him.

"You tried to kill me, didn't you?" Dorian asked.

"Because you're the enemy!" Thomas snarled. "Thanks for proving me right!"

Suddenly, Dorian punched him into face. Then again. And again. Punch after punch. Each punch weighed with enough force to move the mountains. He punched Thomas a thousand times, despite the punching happened in less than a second; for Thomas, it felt much longer.

Thomas's face was turning blue and purple with each hit. He was losing consciousness with every passing second. Yet Dorian kept hitting him until he was unconscious.

Dorian grabbed Thomas by his throat and with another palm he created a fire ball. He forced the fireball into Thomas's mouth.

"Swallow." Dorian ordered him. He smirked, revealing his fangs that turned into animal-like.

Thomas's body didn't respond. Dorian completely drained him out of energy. Not only Dorian was already a powerful demon, the fight against Lucas drained . Soon, the fireball exploded in his mouth, forcing Thomas waking up. Explosion completely disintegrated his jaw and tongue, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Bye-bye, buddy." Dorian released his grip on Thomas's neck.

Thomas's mana and emotions were too unstable to fly, so he fell straight into the sea. Two days later, he woke up floating on water somewhere near the shore and saw a mutated shark swimming towards him. Its skin was grayish, and its teeth were sharpened to razor blades. Its eyes were closed, but there was no doubt that it was ready to attack anyone nearby.

The mutated shark noticed Thomas's presence and lunged, but Thomas kicked the monster out of the water into the air. Then he watched as it crashed into the rocky shore.

"Ground..." Thomas muttered.

Thomas got out of the water and walked through the waves as if it was solid ground. When he reached the shore, he passed out.

******************

Meanwhile, Dorian flew back to the Elemental kingdom, hoping to replace his father and Elizabeth. But when he reached the city, he realized that his father's mana was gone.

"That's weird." Dorian scratched his chin. "Father?"

He flew towards his house and searched around for any sign of his father, but there was none. He went to his old apartment and gently knocked on the door.

The door opened, but instead of his father, he saw a little girl with golden hair. Dorian looked at her, confused.

"H-Hello?" he awkwardly said, thinking that he might have gotten a wrong house. But then he looked around and realized that he didn't. It was his house for sure.

The girl looked at him, and thinking that she understood the situation, nodded.

"Daaaaaaaad! Your patient is here." the girl yelled to her father, who worked as a doctor in the Elemental hospital.

"Huh?" Dorian raised his brows.

Girl's father climbed down the stairs and came over to Dorian. He looked at Dorian's hospital gown and understood that this was indeed someone from the Elemental hospital. However, this was not his patient.

"Excuse me. Can I help you?" the man asked.

Dorian stared at the man, confused. 'Who are these people? Where the hell is my father?'

"Can you please tell me where Richard Leviath is? This is his house." Dorian said, pointing at his own apartment.

The man looked at Dorian and said, "Richard Leviath? Yes. He's... he's dead."

"Dead?!" Dorian gasped. His body went limp and his vision blurred. "W-What happened to him?"
