Your Not So Ordinary Villain



He did not receive response from the deity as he only looked at him. It was not Nahar's hobby to get involved with whatever someone was feeling. Since he had signed the contract, he would only do his duty and won't join any planning nor fighting. He would only fight if he deemed it necessary.

The soldiers were confused as to what they were talking about and even more so after they signed some kind of paper. Marcus wanted to walk up to them but he did not have any additional courage to do that. All they could do was to watch the two of them from a distance.

After the light from the magic circle faded with the magic itself, they saw the young master walking towards them. He had a grin on his face as he told them that the rest of the area was clear. He was even more happy when he let them know that he made a deal with the deity and now they were free to explore the area as much as they wanted.

"How about the demon he said that appeared?" One of the soldiers asked because he was actually scared to face one of those.

"Don't worry about the demon. If it comes, I will deal with it but for now, the demon is a bit occupied with those people," Cygnus answered which eased the man who asked.

After that, the last bit of his statement made them all look at him in confusion. "Are you saying that the demon is currently in that place?" Marcus finally voiced out the question that was in their minds.

Cygnus simply nodded which confirmed their guess. Their feelings during that time became complicated because they were not sure if they should let them be and go help them. They may be rude and disrespectful but they were still their comrades.

"Why are all of you thinking too hard about it. Let's explore the place first. They are heroes. Surely, they can fend for themselves." Cygnus had a frown on his face because of the thoughts in their minds. Humans were really fickle. "Let them fight the demon for a while as we do what we came here for," he insisted.

After a while, the soldiers reluctantly agreed. They marked all the areas they could mark in a short amount of time before they finally left for the safe area where the heroes were being attacked by a two headed tiger. Cygnus could only sigh in frustration because of how soft hearted these soldiers were.

He followed after them and when they reached the place the heroes were already reaching their limits. Their once clean looks were replaced with dirt, blood and tattered clothes. They were in a sorry state but Cygnus didn't care. It was only the soldiers who really cared, well reluctantly cared.

The soldiers sprang into action and joined the fight using only their weapons. They do not have magic so they needed to manually dodge the magic attacks using their physical strength. The heroes did not fail to help the soldiers and Marcus was glad that this time the heroes did not retreat.

Their bodies and weapons did not stop from attacking. The barrage of magic from the heroes continuously distracted the two-headed tiger. This gave the soldiers a chance to attack. Unlike the rhino monster that had a tough hide, the tiger was vulnerable and easily wounded.

This scene lasted for a few minutes and it intensified when they all noticed that the two-headed tiger was getting weak. The black blood continued to flow from the several cuts on its body and it did not stop there because the heroes started to use piercing magic that further wounded the demon. They were in glee because they felt that they were about to defeat the enemy.

The leader of the heroes stopped and concentrated a mana on his palm which formed a red colored magic manifestation. Cygnus could feel the amount of power stored in that attack and he wondered why he did not use it the first time that they were attacked by the rhinoceros. He watched as the leader released the concentrated magic on his palm which passed through the air and caused a sizzling sound as it burned whatever it was on the ground before hitting the demon.

A loud roar echoed in the place as the red beam pierced the two-headed tiger's body. It raised its upper body in the air before it landed on the ground once again. The force of its landing shook the ground and in an enraged mode, the demon's body started to get bigger.

"It's going to explode!" Cygnus shouted as he immediately conjured a shield that protected the soldiers and himself.

Dark Light engulfed the whole place as the two-headed tiger really exploded. The sound was deafening and the destruction it caused was beyond imagination. The whole place was razed and now trees nor plants survived. The ground turned black as miasma that came from the exploded demon started to fill the place.

The place became poisonous because of how dense and potent the miasma was. Cygnus pushed himself up from where he landed after the explosion. He shook his head to remove the ringing in his ear and to clear his vision. He tried to look around to see if he could find Marcus and the others but the miasma that was floating in the air made it difficult for him.

"Help…" a croaky and soft voice came not far from him. "Help…" it said again so Cygnus followed the direction where the voice came from.

After a few steps, he saw that it was not one of the soldiers. It was the leader of the heroes who thought that he had defeated the demon. His body was badly burnt as the flesh was still sizzling with the outer skin already removed and the poison from the miasma already entered his system. He crouched down to look at the pitiful man when he heard him again speak.

"Please help me…I-I don't want to die," the man tried his best to speak even though the pain was unbearable. He wanted to live. He did not want to die, especially in a place like that. He refused to yield his life.

Cygnus only watched as he pleaded but he did not make a move. After a few seconds, he leaned forward and whispered to the hero, "I can't help you. You said yourself that you won't be helping me if I am to be attacked by an enemy therefore you are not worthy of my help."

The words sunk in to the hero as he realized who it was that was with him. He gritted his teeth and swallowed his pride to ask for forgiveness. "I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to. I'm sorry please, please help me…" It was getting more difficult to speak and breathe but he was stubborn. The man even tried to raise his hand to touch Cygnus but he was not able to.

His hand fell to the ground and he started to gasp for breath. He tried to talk a couple of times but all that came out from his mouth was just wheezing. His vision was already blurry from the beginning but right now all he could see was endless darkness. 'The man was not going to help him' was what he realized.

"Good that you know. Now you should die arrogant. It's not suitable for a person like you to die begging because you only looked pathetic." Cygnus stood up and left. He did not wait for the hero to take his last breath because there was no use for it and it was just a waste of time.

He first found Marcus who had lost consciousness and the other two soldiers who were with them. He also found the other two heroes who were barely alive and saved them then he moved them all to a safe place using the gate. Nahar even appeared and watched as the man worked to save those people.

"Why are you saving them?" He asked in confusion. As far as he knew, the man was not the magnanimous type.

"That's because it's the most humane thing to do?" Instead of a statement it came out as question which made Cygnus laugh himself. "This is all an act."
