Chapter 250 On Time

Name:Your Not So Ordinary Villain Author:


The woman pushed herself back and started to run but the ghouls ran after her. She wanted to outrun them but the distance between her and them were not getting farther away and instead the monsters that were after her were getting nearer and nearer. A loud growl came from her behind and before she knew it, one of the ghouls was already mid-air and pounced on her.

The serpent observed as the woman stopped moving with her eyes in a daze. His illusion has already taken effect and now all he needed to do was to kill the woman's physical body. He was ready to sink his fangs on her body but then he felt something sticking inside his flesh. He looked below him and saw another woman who had her sword thrusted in his body.

"Don't underestimate us. Even if you were able to incapacitate my sister, I am still here as an insurance and you really let your guard down this time. Are you worried for those people in that horrible house?" The second woman grinned and thrusted the sword deeper into his body.

It was his mistake. The guardian recognized his own mistake as the words of the second woman echoed in the cavern. He was in a rush to finish the fight and be able to help Galahad that he failed to notice the appearance of one more enemy.

The first woman slowly twitched until her eyes opened. She was finally able to return to the real world but not after suffering too many grievances from the illusion that was shown to her. She knew that it was only an illusion but it felt too real.

She looked around her in fury because of what she experienced and only saw her sister. "Where is that serpent?" She roared.

"Relax sister. I injured him a while ago so he won't be able to go that far." The second sister who appeared stepped towards her sister to console her.

"We must find him, do you understand?" the older sister emphasized. "I will make him pay for what he did to me."

Cygnus was only able to sleep for two hours when an incessant calling woke him up. it was Ari, who was floating above him. He sighed and forced himself to sit up but he still had his eyes closed. He was having a good night's sleep and then he was suddenly disturbed.

"What's the matter?" His voice sounded a bit groggy and scratchy after just waking up. He waited for Ari to answer and yet the woman was only staring at him.

He sighed and opened his eyes to look at the woman. Ari then floated straight and nodded towards her master. It was one of the system prompts that she would not speak if her master was not looking at her.

"The manor is under attack by evil spirits and I detect the presence of several malevolent spirits gathering outside of the manor. Even the guardian serpent is in a precarious state, what shall we do master?" She reported and at the same time asked.

Cygnus was silent for a moment before he sighed and brushed his hair up, "That must be the reason why I felt uncomfortable all of a sudden." He fell silent once more before he decided what he should do. "Ignius, are you there?"

A dark portal appeared and Ignius came out from it. He looked like he also just woke up because he was still yawning and listless. He gave Cygnus a nod before he sat down on the bed and eventually lay down on it.

"What is it?" he asked in his half-asleep state followed by another yawn.

"Go to where the guardian deity is and help him in whatever situation he is in," Cygnus answered. He stood up from the bed and stretched out a bit.

"Did something happen?" Ignius sat down in alert with a grin on his face. "Will I be able to fight after I get there?" He asked with a sudden rush of enthusiasm.

"Yes, and don't hold back just don't transform to your original form," was the only reminder that Cygnus gave before the dragon eagerly left to help the guardian.

"We will go see the archmage," Cygnus declared. He then stopped for a moment because he felt like he had missed something.

"How about Ezio and Isaiah?" Ari asked. The master clapped his hands because he almost forgot about them.

"We will send them to the manor to help the two dukes," Cygnus opened the door and stepped out from the door.

He walked down the stairs and found the others who were sitting in the living room. They were surprised to see him but calmed down when he got there. He looked at the two young mages and saw that they had been treated and rested well enough.

"I'll send you back to the manor," Cygnus started as he stared intently at the two of them.

"Why?" Isaiah was confused at the sudden statement. The man just woke up and now he was again speaking vaguely.

"A situation arose in the manor and your help will be needed there. I will go and meet the archmage then bring him back to the manor. For now, the two of you would suffice." Cygnus waved his hand and a gate appeared in the living room. He even looked at the sentinels, "All of you will be going with them."

Without any questions, the sentinels nodded their heads. Even through the confusion, Ezio and Isaiah still managed to bid the town's leader goodbye as they hurriedly crossed the gate.

What they saw after they exited the gate left them in fear and worry. The manor was on fire and there were several evil spirits surrounding it. They could also see malevolent spirits that had taken a shape moving towards their home.

Without any reservations, Isaiah mobilized his magic and a wide ranged magic circle appeared above all the evil spirits. He then let lightning rain on them, it was enough to explode all of the evil spirits and enough to scratch those that were of a higher level. He did this for the second time while Ezio on the other hand created a gate that would take him back inside the manor.
