Chapter 175 A Boring Conversation

Name:Your Not So Ordinary Villain Author:
From his field of view, the elder could see a man standing behind the dark child and was patting his shoulder. He was tall and was wearing black formal clothes. His hair was slicked back and his dark eyes were looking at him coldly. The elder still recognized the man even with his blurry vision. He was the butler that always followed Rigel Ginehart before he entered the magic tower.

Mr. C walked towards the bound man and looked at him closely, especially his blue glowing eyes. The master had expressed intrigued at those eyes because it was the first time that he had encountered eyes that glowed like that. The butler looked but he couldn't guess what those eyes could do.

"My master is curious to know what your eyes can do. He is inviting you for a conversation," Mr. C spoke which confused the elder.

"M-Master? Do you mean the younger G-Ginehart?" His voice was trembling and soft that the butler almost couldn't hear it.

"As far as I am concerned, he is my only master and nobody else." Mr. C placed his hands behind his back while staring down at the man.

Before the elder could even say anything, he heard a snapping sound and his surroundings became a blur that made him dizzy for a while. When he finally got his vision back, everything around him was dark but he could feel that he was sitting on a chair. He could also feel that his wrists were bound with something cold and even his feet couldn't move.

While he was still grasping what was happening to him, a light suddenly appeared above him. He was startled at first but when his eyes finally adjusted to the light, beyond the light he could see nothing. He used his eyes to look beyond where he was and he was even more surprised at the place where he was because there was nothing in it. He could see nothing below him but he was sure that there was no ground beneath his feet.

A laughter then sounded inside that empty place and it echoed which made him wince. An upside down face appeared before he could even move on from what he was experiencing that moment. If he was not tied, he would have surely jumped back in shock because of the Magus Maximus's disciple.

Cygnus couldn't help but laugh because of the elder's surprised look. He slowly floated into a standing position and faced the elder properly. His eyes were bright as it focused on the glowing irises of the elder.

"What can those eyes do? I've seen you using it against that dark child and now you are using it again here, what can you see?" Cygnus moved his face forward and was already a few inches from the elder's face.

It was glowing blue and fascinated him. He was not sure if it was because of mana or because of something else. He was sure that those eyes would be useful for him.

"That's none of your concern," the elder frowned. He did not expect that the Magus Maximus's disciple would be a traitor.

In the very first place, he was already against this man entering the tower and yet he managed to get their supreme ruler's attention and now he was acting on his own. He could already feel that this person was not what he showed himself to be. He was something else entirely.

Cygnus smiled, "I am not a traitor." He watched as the elder's eyes widened for a second before they returned to its usual look. "From the very beginning, I never considered myself as part of your filthy organization. Do you want to see the real me?"

"To be able to read someone else's mind, you are really something else. I should have objected harder the moment the Magus Maximus decided to take you in as a disciple. A snake in our midst is unacceptable and you will surely receive punishment from our master." The elder could finally understand what the person's aim was.

"Oh, that's a first, no one had ever called me a snake before. I'll add that to my list of names then. To tell you the truth, if you had objected to me becoming his disciple and I was really not accepted, I have plenty of ways to enter that place." Cygnus floated around him with a smirk on his face. His eyes also slowly changed into the bloody ones that he always concealed using magic.

Red eyes were always associated with demons. "A demon, so that's what you are." The elder's face turned cold as he gave the master a cold look.

His eyes were sharp as a blade that if it had the power then the master would have been wounded right there and then. A demon was an abominable creature that killed people without remorse. They were the ultimate enemy of humanity.

Reading the man's thoughts amused the master so much. He couldn't believe that this person was actually pinning those demons as the only enemy of humanity when in reality, it was humans who instigated everything. Accusing someone of being a demon when they themselves were blind to their actions of justice. How ridiculous indeed.

"I am a demon and no matter what you call me, I will accept all of those because I am not a hypocrite like you are. Hiding behind the word righteousness and justice but deep down, your hearts are as black as the deepest pits of the abyss. You can even sacrifice the people you are supposed to protect just to achieve your ambition of power so you do not have the right to look at me with disgust."

If the elder was cold, then Cygnus was colder. His voice carried a compelling power that could make a person listen. There was something in his words that could make one believe his words. He floated towards the man and stared at him without making a sound.

It was unnerving and the cold façade that the elder was maintaining broke like thin glass. He nearly lost his breath because of the oppressive power that started to surround him. He gasped for air and the glow in his eyes disappeared.

"Since all you can say are self-righteous words like they all say whenever they face me, I'll just get right down to business and finish your suffering. I'm getting bored with your speeches and endless accusations." Cygnus sighed and there was a disappointed look on his face as his lips formed into a thin line and his shoulders drooped down.

"What should we do now, master?" The butler who had been watching on the side stepped forward and looked at the man who was coughing.

"I even prepared this dimension for him and yet he couldn't appreciate it and started to spout some nonsense." Cygnus turned around and looked at his butler.

"Wh-What did you say?" The elder suddenly recovered when he heard the master's words. "Dimension?"

Of course, this term was very familiar to any mages because it was where all of their summons were coming from. Although they hadn't entered any of this so-called dimension, they were hoping that with their research and with the help of Ezio, they could see what another dimension looked like.

Cygnus halted and slightly lifted his head, "Ah, yes as far as I know, you fellows want to open a dimension and gain more power. This is also the reason why you forcefully took Ezio and awakened his sealed powers because you wanted him to open a dimension for you. I think Elehiya forgot to warn you that dimensions are dangerous because some might devour you the moment you step into them."

The elder was rendered speechless because of what he heard. "Who are you? Why do you know that name?"

His breath hitched when the man turned around and looked at him. The grin that reached from ear to ear was terrifying combined with the redness of the eyes that seemed to have been amplified because they were in a dark place.

"I'm the closest person to her before she was forced to flee in this disgusting world of yours."
