As a Villain I Really Don’t Want To Be Pursued by the Heroine - As a Villain I Really Don’t Want To Be Pursued by the Heroine chapter 32

32

Though covered in blood, in excruciating pain, and utterly exhausted, Roy felt an inexplicable surge of strength throughout his body.

**Name**: Roy Ainsworth

**Bloodline Path**: **Ironblood**

**Bloodline Rank**: Sequence 9

**Blessings**:

**Blessing of Light**: Brings good fortune to the blessed, blocks and filters excess supernatural power, and heals the body. Remaining time, 253 seconds.

Blessings?

Could it be Alice?

A blessing is an external force, a powerful supernatural favor granted to another. But in Roy’s opinion, it was quite useless—weak in ability and dependent on the compatibility between the giver and receiver.

In “Angel’s Waltz,” it was a pointless setting. Roy had never even found information about blessings in the Ainsworth family library at home.

Cults, on the other hand, often boasted of demonic blessings—powerful indeed, but a one-time, life-draining gambit.

In plain terms, a blessing was nothing but a trifle.

Was he really saved by such a discarded setting?

Roy felt a strange sense of regret for previously mocking this setting.

But a blessing was still a supernatural power, after all.

Roy checked the panel again; Alice was still an ordinary person.

But he was certain that her awakening to supernatural abilities wasn’t far off.

According to the plot of “Angel’s Waltz,” Alice was to awaken as a supernatural being a year after moving into the Ainsworth house.

Her early display of supernatural powers was within Roy’s expectations.

In fact, Alice was a fated supernatural being like Charlotte, only her powers had been instinctively hidden away by her body during her childhood to conserve energy amidst hunger and cold.

As long as she was well-fed and rested, Alice would eventually become a supernatural being again.

Having figured out how he was saved, Roy rechecked his status.

Despite a few minor mishaps, he had finally become a supernatural being!

Roy couldn’t wait to see the changes in his skills on the panel.

**Bloodline Path**:

【False Bloodline】

【Ironblood】Sequence 9:

【Weapon Projection – Low Rank】: You can project iron and wooden weapons at a slow pace, making them your own.

【Steel Sinew and Iron Bones – Low Rank】: Your flesh and bones will be like steel, greatly enhancing your resistance to blows.

【Undying in Unarmed Combat】: You can easily master any weapon, and with some training, you can become proficient.

As Karl had told him before, these are the signature skills of 【Ironblood】.

【Weapon Projection】 ensures you’re never unarmed, while 【Steel Sinew and Iron Bones】 greatly boosts your defense, preventing an easy demise.

【Undying in Unarmed Combat】 is what Roy looked forward to the most; it’s like directly adding skill points. Although Roy practiced swordplay just for fun, and had never even touched other weapons, with this skill, he could easily master any weapon without the need for a decade of dedicated training!

What era is it to still be practicing? In the Fourth Era, it’s popular to take drugs and then be able to fight!

The strength of the extraordinary lies here; the same swordplay that takes ordinary people ten years to master, the extraordinary can achieve with a snap of their fingers.

Of course, this is also because 【Ironblood】 itself specializes in close combat.

Roy remembered that 【Ironblood】’s melee capabilities were among the top in the Silver Bloodlines, and in the future, there would be various powerful skills suitable for close combat. Especially at lower sequences, in terms of melee alone, it could even rival the Golden Bloodlines!

But what does a false bloodline mean?

Roy scrolled down the interface and discovered new entries.

【True Bloodline】

【???】: Current authority insufficient. Semi-awakened, requires an awakening/promotion medium.

Roy realized immediately.

It must have been this thing that nearly killed him!

Damn it, dad, oh dad, I don’t mind you giving me good stuff, but could you give me a heads-up to prepare myself!

But what does a true bloodline mean?

Neither “Angel’s Waltz” nor the materials Roy found in the library mentioned that bloodlines could be true or false.

Could it be that he wasn’t Karl’s biological son? A strange expression crossed Roy’s face.

But that didn’t make sense.

After all, it’s impossible for a person to have two bloodlines! Even if the parents are extraordinary beings with different bloodlines, their offspring would only inherit one of the parent’s bloodlines!

If there’s nothing wrong with the potion, then the problem lies with himself!

Could it be the buff that comes with being a transmigrator? But he already had a panel.

No, on second thought, what exactly is a panel?

As if an invisible hand was manipulating the threads of fate behind the scenes, Roy couldn’t help but shudder.

He didn’t want to attribute everything to a transmigrator’s cheat.

But now, without any clues, he couldn’t understand the connections behind it all.

Just then, a soft hum interrupted Roy’s reverie.

Turning around, he saw Alice sitting up, her sleepy eyes gazing at him.

“Master…? Are you alright, Master?!”

Alice spoke as she tried to rise, but the movement pulled at her bruised wrist, causing her pretty brows to furrow slightly.

“I’m fine, but you, why didn’t you push me away?” Roy’s tone grew inadvertently stern as he eyed Alice’s wrist.

The girl flinched, lowered her head, and weakly hid her bruised wrist behind her back.

Seeing her like this, Roy felt a pang of pity and lost the urge to scold her.

In fact, Alice’s divine light protection had indeed saved his life.

Although Alice had yet to grow up, Roy was grateful that he had implemented a nurturing plan.

Roy moved closer to Alice and rubbed the back of her head from behind: “I’m not blaming you.”

“Actually, it’s thanks to Alice that I was saved.”

“As long as the master is fine, this little injury is nothing.” Energized by Roy’s touch, Alice perked up.

“But you don’t have to force yourself, there are plenty of medical teams outside waiting, right?”

Alice blinked and asked blankly, “I’ve called for someone.”

“But no one came.”

It was then Roy realized, despite the commotion he had caused, no one outside seemed to notice.

Something was off.

No way, in this day and age, it’s all about deceiving dads, so why would a dad deceive his son?!

But then, Karl didn’t seem like he wanted to harm him either.

“Anyway, let’s get out of here first.”

“Oh.”

Alice complied, got out of the car, but stood still, staring straight at Roy.

Roy, now only in shorts, felt uncomfortable under the girl’s direct gaze.

From noble mtl dot nete

“Um, you go ahead, I’ll wash up and change clothes.”

“……Oh.”

Only then did Alice realize and obediently left.

Roy shook his head helplessly. With this iron lady’s emotional intelligence, without the dramatic events of “Angel’s Waltz,” those pampered princesses probably wouldn’t stand a chance.
