Your Not So Ordinary Villain

Chapter 246 Rest And Attack





Each time a sword was pulled out from the necromancer's body some of his body parts would get torn apart. Cygnus did this without batting an eye and the necromancer did not make a sound. The two young mages who were watching from afar couldn't fully make out what was happening in there because of the dust that had been in the air.

"You really won't die, I've already dismantled your body and yet you can still look at me coldly," Cygnus crouched down again and looked at the man's eyes. "You are practically immortal now."

"Should I be glad then?" the necromancer answered. He really didn't care since he had already lost his concept of time.

The man was only continuing to live day by day while experimenting on his magic. He had been living for a very long time now and amassed several bodies that he could use as a weapon. That chimera was only one of them and even that dragon was only a part of his collection and yet he had no desire to bring out anything anymore.

He could already feel his end coming so he did not have the will to struggle anymore. He was willingly waiting for his death and if it was this man then, he could accept his demise. When that malevolent spirit that was born inside his territory came back injured, he suddenly had an inkling that something's about to happen.

-

The necromancer also noticed the sudden increase in the activity of evil spirits in the surrounding and the malevolent ones that had been hiding and limiting their movements were suddenly getting active. Even the serpent-woman became busy with eating humans to increase her power and yet one day she came back wounded while ranting. She was hissing nonstop and pounding on the walls of the mine without rest.

When he noticed this, he sent out some of his minions to spy outside. According to what they reported back to them, the barrier of the guardian spirit of the territory had greatly weakened which gave the spirits free reign. They took that chance to strengthen their power so that they could take over the territory.

According to additional news, it seemed that there was someone behind all of these. While he was pondering about all of this, this man came and disturbed his abode. It didn't matter though because their target was the malevolent spirit and yet the man still provoked him.

While he was lying there a sudden thought popped in his mind and looking at the man in front of him, those talks about a mastermind must not have been baseless rumors. He did not expect to be discovered as he only intended to watch and see how the fight would go but the man discovered that he was there.

"What do you know?" The necromancer suddenly asked even without hearing an answer to his first question, not that he was expecting from it.

"What do you mean?" Cygnus had been reading his thoughts for a while now so he knew what the other wanted to know but it was not his obligation to answer the man.

The necromancer stared at him for a while before he sighed, "You are really good at this, feigning ignorance to most things."

"It has been part of my personality and I am not the kind that would disclose my secrets just because my enemy is about to die," Cygnus laughed.

There was silence between them after those words as the necromancer had nothing more to say to the man. Cygnus on the other hand was now utterly bored because his enemy decided to surrender. There's no point in keeping him alive longer. He stood up and lifted his sword before bringing it down on the necromancer's chest where his slightly beating heart was.

Once the sword destroyed his heart, the necromancer who was like a puppet remained silent forever. His body slowly turned into dust until not even a trace of it remained. Cygnus patted the dust that clung to his clothes and turned around to look at the direction where Ezio and Isaiah were hiding.

He started to walk up to their direction and when he reached them, he had a weird grin on his face. He even stared at them without speaking for a couple of minutes before his face returned to his usually smiling and amiable expression. He tilted his head to the side then he looked around to look for the horses they used to reach the place.

"Are you looking for the horses?" Isaiah asked when he noticed that the man's eyes were busy looking around.

Cygnus nodded. "I'm tired of this place and want to return. I also need to rest because I felt like I used too much unnecessary energy today."

"They're gone. The moment that the mountain was flattened, all living things in the area already ran away," Isaiah answered. He did not understand how the man could even think about the horses when they were the reason why they ran.

"If that's the case then let's just use a gate." A black portal appeared behind Cygnus and without giving them any signal or warning, he left.

Ezio and Isaiah followed behind because Ezio did not have enough mana to create a gate. They returned to the town, exactly inside the inn where the town's leader was waiting for them. He was startled when a portal appeared and the three of them came out.

Cygnus ignored and instead went up without saying a thing. He opened one of the rooms and went ahead to take a bath. Since the bathroom had a mirror in it, he couldn't help but stare at his body that did not have any scars. Even the ones that he had before he became what he was now disappeared.

He closed his eyes then changed into dry and clean clothes before he went to the bed and lied down. He looked at the ceiling for a while before he turned to his side and closed his eyes. A few moments later, he was already asleep.

At the second floor, Ezio and Isaiah were being tended to by a doctor that the town's leader called. With his assistants, they were busy cleaning their wounds and bandaging them up to stop the bleeding from some of the more severe wounds they got. Throughout the whole process none of the sentinels nor the town's leader asked anything from them.

They prepared food and warm soup for them to at least replenish their strength. After they were settled, did the town's leader finally have the courage to ask them. He was a bit nervous but the question must be asked.

They were currently in the living room and warming themselves up after their dinner when the town's leader decided to speak up. "How-how did it go? Did that serpent-woman get defeated?"

"Yes," was Isaiah's simple answer. "You don't have to worry about her coming after your town. It's just that the battle destroyed the mountain and a part of the forest."

The town's leader shook his head and even waved his hands. "No worries, we will deal with it and besides we are just thankful that that spirit is gone."

Isaiah nodded. He did not want to go into detail and tell them what really happened. It was fine to just inform them that their problem has been solved. Even the evil spirits that were roaming around the town were also gone maybe because the malevolent one was defeated.

"Will the other one be, okay? He hasn't eaten yet…" the town's leader asked after a short moment of silence.

"You don't have to worry about him. Once he wakes up, he'll surely eat and be in a better mood," Isaiah answered.

Although he couldn't read the mind of the man, he could feel that he was not really in a good mood. So, instead of waking him up, they let him be. Since the master was still sleeping, they decided to spend the night in the town before returning to the manor.

While they were in that town, an unexpected situation arose at the central. The manor was in disarray at the sudden appearance of spirits that wreaked havoc inside the manor. It was sudden that no one expected the attack. The sentinels did their best to defend against the evil spirits but there were too many of them.

The attack was timed so well that it happened when the archmage and the three young mages were gone. Galahad had no choice but to fight. Even Ulysses drew his sword even though it was not that effective against the evil spirits but it was enough to drive them away.

The butler was busy getting the employees out of the way and into the main hall where talismans were set up just in case something like that happened. They didn't expect that they would really use the place because they all thought that the manor was safe.
