In My Favorite Novel As The Final Villain

Fortunately, he and Luna decided to carefully investigate the tire room in depth. Theos knew how dangerous a loose curse could be, especially one that, on its first day of birth, is much stronger than an Advanced Peak like Theos.

"Arrkk," growled the curse, showing its misshap, sharp teeth but provoking no reaction from Theos, not ev Luna.

It simply looked like a harmless creature that, with just one blow, would be destroyed to pieces.

"Answer me one question... Who created you?" this time, Theos\' voice echoed throughout the room with coldness and indifferce, ev an intse murderous intt sured and pressed down on the curse that could only squirm to defd itself.

"No one" growled the curse, causing Theos to frown.

\'What a big lie,\' he thought, further increasing the intsity of his murderous intt, as a user of Death Mana, his murderous intt was more than controlled, being able to increase and decrease it as he pleased, obviously, up to a certain limit.

But... Why such a question? Because he knew more than anyone else that a curse wouldn\'t appear as early in the novel as this, that he hasn\'t ev started the academy.

In fact, in the novel, the curses started to make their appearances after the academy, at first not being much of a threat, but evtually, right after finishing the first year at the academy, the curses became known to everyone after that accidt...

"Ahhhh... I just-", the curse growled, but before he could say another word, Theos\' left eye glowed brightly as blood gushed from it.

"Forget Loyalty," he commanded, using the only ability he had on his Path of Oblivion.

The curse was slowly affected by the command, forgetting the very concept of loyalty.

It was natural, he could not compete against the very Eye of an all-powerful being and God of misfortune.

"Now tell me... Who created you?" he again asked calmly and intriguingly, causing the curse to resist a little, but in the d, he blurted out two words.

"It was...HIM," stated the curse, as he suddly twisted uncontrollably.

His tire mass doubled in size from swelling, expanding ev the crevice he was in.

"RUN!" he shouted, grabbing Luna\'s hand to take a great leap augmted by the Mana, moving a doz meters away before the explosion.

*BOOM*

Pieces of flesh, or rather, particles of the curse\'s flesh, were spread all over the room by the explosion; the rift expanded further, and debris was falling from the ceiling itself, forcing Theos to make a Mana barrier and Luna to make shadow armor for her and Theos.

"Let\'s get out of here," he said, now with all the curse flesh scattered like particles a the room; it was a matter of time before it took over his or Luna\'s body, both being worst-case scarios.

"Click*

But as if on cue, the very miracle; possibly from the intse battle of Theos and the curse and now the explosion of the curse, the large rock split in half, oping the only way out to flee.

"Theos, look," Luna pointed out, but Theos had already noticed this \'miracle\', so he took a big leap that way, leaving the room without hesitation.

\'This is... Weird, but he felt strange, nor could he help but turn his head towards the room that was getting farther and farther away with every jump he took, feeling a bad feeling.

Now, with his head a little cooler, it was all too timely and strange; first, they tered the room, and just as they noticed the capsule, they tried to flee, but a large rock prevted it.

After the great battle that they won wh questioning the curse, it exploded at the mtion of the word or named "HIM."

Everything up to that point could be a coincidce or the prevtion of the guy who invted the curse; possibly, that curse was an artificial curse with a program not to reveal his name.

But... He couldn\'t leave everything to chance wh just the big rock split in two as he tried to flee.

"It\'s as if someone knew all my steps... Or directly, manipulated all my steps," he muttered with a bit of anger as he felt that feeling he hated with all his soul.

He hadn\'t accepted a system precisely because of that, but now, it seemed as if someone was guiding him... And the worst thing is that if he was guiding him, it didn\'t bring anything beficial to Theos, making it more frustrating.

"Theos, are you okay?" Luna asked with concern as she saw the quiet Theos, who gradually had a darker and solemn face.

"Yes...," he nodded, but Luna pinched his leg.

"Tell me the truth, honestly," she demanded with her eyes fixed on him. Making Theos sigh deeply.

"If I\'m honest with you, Luna... No, I\'m not well at all, but it\'s something I\'ll tell you about later... This battle didn\'t feel natural, and now that I think more deeply." Theos swallowed a little as he now thought not only of the currt battle but of the days before.

He continued. "Now that I think more deeply, I think that... I don\'t know, I feel like I was guided and manipulated to come here," he stated, causing Luna to be surprised.

She didn\'t know how to respond to Theos\' words, and now that he said it, she felt that it could be true, nothing was natural at all.

At least she was glad to know that he trusted her to tell her such things, so the two of them left the cave in silce and thought with Luna in Theos\' arms.

Unaware that in the room, a shadow was slowly revealing itself.
