Chapter 250: Chapter: 250 Vivian vs the Clown.[2]

The sky had already turned violent.

Dark clouds churned above the mountains like a boiling sea, and lightning flashed again and again inside them.

Then—

BOOM!

A massive bolt of thunder crashed down from the clouds.

Before the echo of that strike could fade—

BOOM!

Another followed.

Then another.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The sky looked as if it had gone mad.

Blinding pillars of lightning fell one after another, striking toward Vivian with terrifying speed.

But every time a bolt came down—

A massive black serpent twisted through the air.

Bloody Mary moved like a shadow slicing through the storm.

His long body curved sharply through the sky, his huge wings beating hard as he avoided the falling thunder.

One bolt tore past Vivian’s shoulder.

Another exploded against the clouds behind them.

Another struck so close that the heat of it burned the air.

Still—

Bloody Mary kept dodging.

Left.

Right.

Up.

Down.

Each movement was sharp and controlled, but the pressure from the falling thunder was relentless.

Vivian stood balanced on top of his head, his coat snapping wildly in the violent wind.

His sharp eyes followed the lightning falling around them.

Then he shouted over the roaring storm.

“Get close!”

His voice cut through the sky like a blade.

Bloody Mary snorted loudly.

“I can hear you!”

His long body twisted as he turned sharply in the air.

His wings spread wide—

Then he rushed straight toward the clown floating in the distance.

The speed was frightening.

The wind screamed around them as they shot forward.

Another bolt of thunder fell from the sky—

But this time Vivian lifted his hand.

“Thunder…”

He muttered the word softly.

The moment he did—

The lightning falling from the sky suddenly bent toward him.

The violent bolt gathered in his palm like a wild beast forced into chains.

Electric light exploded around his hand.

Crackling energy danced between his fingers.

Vivian didn’t even flinch.

Unlike Bloody Mary, he could handle the lightning directly.

But Bloody Mary couldn’t.

This wasn’t normal thunder.

The power inside those bolts came from the clown’s Intuition.

If that lightning struck his physical body directly, it could cause serious damage.

That was why Vivian had to catch it himself.

Another bolt crashed down from the sky.

Vivian caught it with his other hand.

CRACKLE!!

Now two furious lightning strikes burned in his hands.

They twisted and roared like angry snakes trying to escape.

The air around him trembled from the pressure.

Vivian’s grin slowly widened.

“Haha…”

A laugh escaped him.

“It’s been a while since I felt this excited.”

His eyes shone brightly as the lightning raged in his hands.

Then he suddenly shouted forward.

“Hey, pervert!”

His voice carried easily through the storm.

“Give me a breath!”

He laughed loudly as he lifted both arms.

Two lightning strikes burned in his palms like miniature suns.

Bloody Mary’s eyes twitched in annoyance.

“Watch your tongue—”

He began to growl.

But before he could finish—

Vivian spoke again.

A teasing grin spread across his face.

“Should I ask Charlotte to turn you into a woman?”

For a moment—

Silence.

Bloody Mary froze mid-flight.

“….”

His long body stiffened slightly.

Then he bit down hard on his tongue.

A low, irritated sound came from his throat.

“Tsk.”

“Fine!”

He snapped.

His wings beat harder as he turned her head toward the clown.

The clown was approaching them quickly now.

He floated forward in the sky as if gravity had forgotten about him.

His body moved with a strange calmness despite the violent storm around him.

Bloody Mary opened his enormous mouth.

A deep darkness gathered inside his throat.

Then—

ROOOOOAAARRRR!!!

A terrifying breath exploded out of his mouth.

It was not normal fire.

It looked like a torrent of dark energy mixed with crimson light.

The attack tore forward through the sky like a raging river.

At that exact moment—

Vivian moved.

“Haha!”

He laughed loudly.

His arms swung forward.

Both lightning strikes flew from his hands and slammed into the roaring breath.

CRACKLE!! CRACKLE!!

The lightning wrapped around the attack like living chains.

Electric light ran along the edges of the breath.

Thunder roared inside it.

The combined attack became even more violent.

The sky trembled as the lightning and breath twisted together.

It looked like a giant spear made of storm and destruction.

“Hahaha!”

Vivian threw his head back and laughed wildly.

“Clown!”

He shouted.

“Block it if you can!”

As the attack rushed forward, Vivian reached behind him.

His hand grabbed the hilt of his sword.

With a smooth motion—

He pulled it free.

The blade flashed coldly under the lightning filled sky.

Meanwhile—

The clown watched everything calmly.

Then suddenly—

“Kekekekekek…”

A strange laugh came from behind his mask.

He sounded amused.

Almost delighted.

“It seems…”

He chuckled.

“You are enjoying this battle as well, aren’t you?”

The clown slowly brought his hands together in front of him.

His fingers touched lightly.

“But don’t worry…”

His voice remained playful.

The moment he spoke again—

The air around him twisted violently.

“Intuition: Black Hole.”

The moment those words left his mouth—

Reality itself seemed to bend.

A dark circle suddenly appeared in front of the clown.

At first it was small.

But within a single second—

It expanded.

Larger.

Wider.

Darker.

A massive black hole formed in the sky before him.

It looked like a hole torn into the world itself.

There was no light inside it.

No color.

Nothing.

Just endless darkness.

Then the suction began.

WHOOOOSH!!!

The air around the black hole exploded into motion.

Clouds twisted violently as they were dragged toward it.

Lightning bent unnaturally as it was pulled closer.

The pressure became terrifying.

Vivian’s combined attack reached the clown at that exact moment—

The lightning wrapped breath struck the black hole.

But instead of exploding—

It vanished.

WHOOOSH!!

The entire attack was sucked inside instantly.

Lightning.

Energy.

Power.

Everything disappeared into the endless darkness of the black hole.

As if it had never existed at all.

The sky fell strangely quiet for a brief moment.

Only the swirling wind remained.

The clown lowered his hands slowly.

“Kekekek…”

His laughter echoed softly in the storm.

As if the entire battle was nothing more than a game to him.

Vivian clicked his tongue.

“Tsk… this guy really has unlimited Intuitions,” he muttered.

The black hole in the sky slowly shrank and vanished, leaving nothing behind.

The storm clouds twisted above them again, lightning flashing deep inside the darkness.

Vivian narrowed his eyes.

Then suddenly—

He jumped.

His body pushed off Bloody Mary’s head and shot forward through the air.

“So unfair!”

His voice echoed in the wind as he raised his sword.

Flames suddenly gathered along the blade. Bright fire wrapped around the metal like a living creature.

“Fire…”

The blade burned brighter.

Then he spoke again.

“Wind.”

The moment the word left his mouth, the air around him exploded into motion.

Wind rushed from every direction.

Clouds twisted.

Snow spiraled wildly through the sky.

The violent wind gathered behind Vivian like invisible wings and pushed him forward with terrifying speed.

The air cracked from the sudden burst of motion.

“Take this!!”

In the blink of an eye—

He reached the clown.

The distance between them vanished instantly.

Vivian swung his sword in a wide horizontal arc, flames trailing behind the blade like a burning comet.

The strike came fast enough to split the air.

BOOM!

The clown reacted immediately.

He lifted both arms and crossed them in front of his body like a shield.

Vivian’s burning sword slammed against his guard.

The impact sent a shockwave through the sky.

At the same time—

The clown’s leg shot forward.

He aimed a powerful kick straight at Vivian’s stomach.

But Vivian was already ready.

“Not so easy!”

He raised his own leg and—

BAM!

Their kicks collided mid-air.

The impact rang out like a hammer striking steel.

Neither of them moved back.

For a brief moment they were frozen there in the air, their bodies locked together in a clash of strength.

But Vivian didn’t stop.

Not even for a second.

In the next blink—

His free left hand moved.

His fingers curled into a grabbing motion.

“Wind!!”

The moment he shouted the word—

The air around the clown changed.

Suddenly the wind began rushing toward Vivian’s hand.

Not gently.

Violently.

Like a giant invisible vacuum had appeared in the sky.

The wind around the clown was sucked away in an instant.

The clouds twisted violently as the air was dragged toward Vivian’s palm.

“Huff—!”

The clown’s eyes widened slightly.

He immediately realized what Vivian had done.

Without air around him—

Breathing became almost impossible.

The clown pushed his body backward with sudden force and launched himself away.

He shot back through the air to escape the suction.

“Huff…! Huff…!”

The moment he reached normal air again, he gasped desperately.

His pale face quickly turned red as he tried to pull oxygen back into his lungs.

His chest rose and fell quickly.

Even his mask shifted slightly as he struggled to breathe.

But Vivian didn’t give him even a moment to recover.

“Not so fast!”

Vivian swung his sword again.

The blade cut through the air with deadly precision.

A dark red energy gathered along the edge—

Then burst forward.

A black-red crescent shaped slash shot through the sky toward the clown.

It carried a terrifying killing intent.

The energy wave cut through the clouds like a blade slicing paper.

“Pervert! Now!!”

Vivian roared.

His voice echoed across the battlefield.

Far behind him—

Bloody Mary immediately understood.

The massive serpent twisted through the sky and opened his enormous mouth.

“ROOOOOAR!!!”

Another terrifying breath erupted forward.

Dark energy poured out like a raging storm.

The breath shot through the air and followed Vivian’s sword slash.

Both attacks rushed toward the clown at the same time.

BOOM!!

The sky trembled from the combined power.

The clown was still trying to catch his breath.

For the first time since the battle began—

His eyes shook slightly.

’How terrifying…’

He thought silently.

’Such precise control…’

His gaze moved toward Vivian.

’Controlling wind like it is a part of his own body…’

The clown’s thoughts slowed for a moment as he studied his opponent.

’No wonder he was so confident in fighting me.’

But then—

A faint smile appeared beneath the mask.

’However…’

His eyes sharpened.

’If you think this is enough…You are greatly mistaken.’

The clown slowly straightened his body in the air.

Then he looked directly at Vivian.

For the first time since the battle started—

His voice lost its playful tone.

It became serious.

“Now…”

He said loudly.

“It is time for me to get serious.”

He slowly brought his palms together.

Clasp!

His hands pressed together firmly.

The air around him trembled.

“It is time…”

He continued calmly.

“…to show you some of the good Intuitions I have.”

The sky darkened slightly.

Lightning flashed inside the storm clouds.

Then the clown spoke again.

His voice echoed across the battlefield.

“Intuition…”

A strange pressure spread through the air.

“Temple of Despair.”
