Your Not So Ordinary Villain



The fallen god didn't know what she's going to do now. The power she has was threatening to burst out. Beyond the madness, she still wanted to destroy her enemy. She still wanted to make him pay for what he did.

Despite these thoughts, she could do nothing as cracks started to appear on her blackened skin. She groaned and tried to cover them but that did nothing. The cracks continued to appear on her body and it could already be seen on her face.

It did not stop there as it slowly consumed her. She opened her mouth in one last attempt to seek for help from the other gods but all that came out was a groan. Slowly the cracks widened and gave out a golden light. It got brighter and brighter until she exploded.

The explosion lit the while dimension and destroyed whatever was left of it. The place instantly became void. Cygnus removed the conceal magic he casted upon himself wit a grin. He looked around in the void because like any other being, gods have mana cores.

Not far from where he was, he saw the only glinting object in that dark place. Cygnus smiled as he used his mana to take that object. Once it was placed in his hands, his laughed echoed in that empty space.

It was in the shape of a small orb. Its inside contained a golde and red mana that were swirling together. The god's mana was more beautiful in its tainted form.

"Cores from gods are really different." He raised the core and admired for a while before he finally put it in his mouth.

He swallowed the small orb and let the dark mana inside his body corrode and assimilate it. He savored the power that slowly became his own. After a minute of feeling it, he summoned a gate.

It was better to leave an continue the assimilation in a more comfortable place. The people who had been waiting for him in the manor all stood in attention when a gate showed up. It appeared in the middle of the living room. Cygnus stepped out from the gate with a different aura around him. He looked more powerful and dangerous.

"Welcome back master," the butler greeted. He had his head bowed and so did the other people in the room.

Cygnus nodded at them but he did not say anything. No words were exchanged after that short greeting from the butler. Ari also informed them that the master's insanity level has gone down to 25%.

They wanted to ask him question but they became hesitant. They also wondered what happened to the last member of the Circle of Eight who was with him. All of these went unanswered as the master decided to return to his room and rest.

That incident passed without them knowing what really happened. At the same time King Orpheus became determined to find out the identity of the 'World Breaker' as he was the most likely suspect for the disappearance of the members of the Circle of Eight. Because of this, he summoned all of his ministers, the generals and the dukes for an assembly that will take place in the capital.

Within the next day, half of the ministers already arrived. The four dukes were reported to be already on their way and it would take them all at least five days to arrive. This news reached Cygnus's ears through his trusted spy, Lindon, who had been keeping an eye on the crown prince.

The master looked grim but all of this was within his calculations. On the third day after the edict was released, Cygnus once again received a letter which said that the holy knight, Onyx, would also attend the meeting. This came as no surprise because he had already guessed it .

"I need to talk to my father then," he mumbled to himself.

He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. A gate suddenly appeared in the middle of the road where the duke's carriage was traversing. It caused the driver to pull the reigns in a panic which alerted the duke. 

He looked out the window and saw the gate. He already knew that his son, Rigel, was already waiting for him. He alerted the driver and instructed him to pass through it. The driver was a bit hesitant but he still did the duke's command.

They appeared on the manor's porch and Ulysses alighted from the carriage. He went ahead and patted his driver's shoulder because he was still in a daze. Mr. C who had been waiting for him guided the duke to the manor's back garden where the master had been waiting for him. 

At the time that they haven't seen each other, Ulysses immediately noticed the changes on Rigel. The air around him was different. He looked like an entirely different person if not for the familiar face.

"Father, I'm glad that you came!" Cygnus stopped what he was doing at the sight of the duke.I think you should take a look at

Ulysses sighed and gave the young man a nod. "Well, you invited me. So, why wouldn't I come?" He took the empty seat on the opposite side of the table.

"That's because I heard that you were coming to the capital so, I just made your journey easier." Cygnus grinned and waved his hand.

"Did something happen?" Ulysses asked. He knew that the young man wouldn't go this far without any reasons.

Cygnus chuckled. " Remember that time when I went to visit the El Merey kingdom with Sir Aberleign?" He started.

Ulysses nodded, "Yes."

"We met with the holy knight and I promised that I will help him with the establishment of the Justice of Light here in Lunaira. I also told him that I will get you to help also." Cygnus smiled so innocently. If Ulysses doesn't know anything, he would thought that Rigel had doen it out of the kindness of his heart.

"I understand. I received a news that the holy knight will attend the meeting, so rest assured." Ulysses answered as he already understood the young man's intention.

Cygnus was satisfied. "Then I will be looking forward to the result of your meeting."

Ulysses laughed. "You are really sly, now you want me to be your spy? I'm sure that you already have people working for you that is more suitable for this kind of job."

The duke gave Cygnus a meaningful smile as he leaned on his seat. Ulysses only received the missive before he entered the gate but Rigel invited him while being fully aware of the situation. This only means that he already established a spy inside the royal court.

"I really can't fool you," Cygnus sighed.

"I may not have the ability to read minds but I have years of experience in dealing with people." Ulysses couldn't help but laugh at the young man's words.

Two days later, all the delegates gathered at the palace. The palace's council room was already filled with the presence of the crown prince, the ministers, the dukes and the generals. They were now only waiting for the king to arrive.

The palace's butler organized them and let them be seated while waiting for the king. After ten minutes, the royal guard at the door finally announced the arrival of the king. The room then fell into silence as the king entered followed by his entourage.

However murmurs started to circulate when they all saw the person that was following behind king. He was wearing a full armor of gold that they couldn't see his face. The king raised his hand to stop them from muttering.

"All of you might have already guessed who this person is. This is Sir Onyx, the holy knight of the Justice of Light, whom I have invited to join us today." The king announced and at he same time introduced him.

Onyx did not say a word and only gave them a nod before he took the seat that was designated for him. The king also sat down at the head of the table and addressed them one-by-one. After everyone 's presence was acknowledged, he proceeded to the main reason why he called for a meeting.

"As you all know, the Circle of Eight disappeared and there are rumors that the 'World Breaker' might be the person behind this. I want you all to be vigilant and wary of this person because even Lady Elvira disappeared." The king's words puzzled and shocked the entire council meeting room.

They were all privy to the existence of Lady Elvira and her unmatched strength. To think that even her would fall prey to the instigator of the crime came as a surprise. They were already in an uproar because of it. 

The Circle of Eight was a group of people with a abilities beyond a normal person. It was shocking that they all disappeared and now even the pillar of Lunaira disappeared. Now it became a national concern.
