Your Not So Ordinary Villain



  Ezio and Isaiah couldn't believe what they were seeing. Rigel was alive and moving. He did not flinch even as he removed all the lances in his body. The fear and anger they felt after they saw what happened to him faded and was replaced with shock that shook them to their core.

Ezio wanted to go and check on him when those lances pierced his body but when he saw that he was not moving, he felt despair. He wanted to run towards him and at the same time he wanted to destroy the person who did that to his master. His jaws were clenched and his fists were tightly clenched but before he could even make a move, the enemy was already in front of them.

They managed to fight back but their attacks had no effect on the necromancer. Then they heard it, the rustling sound. Cygnus was back on his feet with that grin on his face. He looked like he did not die. They could even hear the distinct popping of bones that were getting aligned and the crunching as the crushed bones slowly pieced back together.

What's more terrifying was the fact that the blood that was supposed to be splattered on the ground wiggled and flowed back to Cygnus's body. Not a single drop of his blood was left on the ground. They witnessed how his shattered skull and dismantled face returned to their original state.

"That really hurt too much. I haven't felt like this in a long time." He folded his neck from side to side and towards the back before circling his head around.

Cygnus even stretched his arms then closed and opened his fist to test if his body was working fine. After that his eyes looked at the necromancer, who now had a black broad sword stuck on his body. The necromancer looked at the sword because he did not even notice that a weapon was already headed his way.

Black blood oozed down from his wound but this did not bother him that much. The necromance lifted his hand and held the sword's hilt before forcefully pulling it out. His black colored blood splattered all over the place. He raised the sword and lightly tapped on it.

Cracks appeared on the sword after that light touch from the necromancer, the sword was corroded and turned into dust. "You are one peculiar human," the necromancer's gritty voice traveled through the air.

"Aren't you one too?" Cygnus pointed at the healing wound on his body. It was not as shocking as Cygnus's but it was still too inhuman for a person to completely heal.

After seeing all of this, there was only one thought running inside Isaiah's mind at that moment, he was seeing monsters. Both Rigel and his enemy were monsters, from their powers to their bodies. He gulped unconsciously as his body stiffened and refused to move. He was pinned in place as he could not take his eyes off them.

"But you are something else," the necromancer answered.

He disappeared from where he was standing and appeared above Cygnus with a lance in his hand that was pushed towards Cygnus. A broad sword appeared in the master's hands and he used it to block the lance's pointed blade. The first encounter was like watching a slow motion movie but as the exchange of attacks continued, their movements became like a roaring water in the river during stormy weather.

Their battle became as though they were shadows dancing in the air. Each time their weapons met, it would create sparks and a gush of wind that would blow away dust and rocks on the ground. With the continuous exchange of defense and offense, Cygnus already used a lot of swords and so did the necromancer.

The necromancer threw one of his lances which the master dodged and it ended up creating a crater on the ground. Cygnus also swung his broad sword and it ended up slicing the rest of the mountain into two. Isaiah thought that if their fight continued then the entire forest would be flattened and damaged.

"Are we really going to stay here?" Ezio asked after a while. Although he was fine with it, he felt that they should not be staying in that place any longer.

Both Cygnus and the necromancer were so engrossed in their own world that they did not care if they could destroy the entire forest because of their unusual power. Isaiah narrowed his eyes as he watched them continue to battle and feigned to be deaf. He knew that Ezio had a point but for some reason, he couldn't leave the battlefield yet.

The necromancer thrusted his lance forward which met the broad sword's tip then suddenly something came out from the necromancer's back and attacked him. From afar, it looked like it was a tentacle similar to that of an octopus but at a closer look, those things that attacked Cygnus were actually dragon heads.

Cygnus was pushed back because of how strong the impact was but it was not enough to knock him down on his feet. Three dragon heads actually came out from the necromancer's back and were now hovering above him. From the different eye color from the dragon, Cygnus could guess that each head has a different power.

Just as he predicted, all three dragon's mouths opened with three different colored magic circles appearing in front of each mouth. One was gathering blue flame, the other was gathering wind and the other was gathering something invisible to the eye. The fire dragon made its attack first which Cygnus successfully blocked using his mana infused sword.

The black flame burned even the ground and turned it black. Only the patch where Cygnus was standing remained unscorched. The fire was replaced with a swirling wind that came from the middle dragon. The wind created a rumbling noise as it hit Cygnus and the ground around him. It even created a crater around where Cygnus was standing.

Just like the first attack, it did nothing to injure Cygnus as he stood there unscathed. The third dragon released a wave that made the air vibrate because of the high-pitched sound from the waves. It made Ezio and Isaiah cover their ears and yet the master was not deterred.

"I didn't think that you'll be bringing out such a creature to fight me, sadly nothing from their food could destroy me." Cygnus simply snapped his finger and one of the dragon heads exploded in the air. Another snap and the second dragon's head also exploded then followed by the third one.

The necromancer did not flinch; instead he attacked once again using his lance as the dragon heads regenerated. He used the lance and the magic of the three dragons to fight Cygnus because he knew that he wouldn't win. He already sensed it after exchanging blows with the man.

A black magic appeared above Cygnus and a sharp skeleton hand appeared in an attempt to push him down but the master easily destroyed the skeleton hand. Several more like that appeared to pin him down or even catch him but all was destroyed with one swing of his sword. The necromancer did not stop though and even summoned a horde of zombies that he sent to attack Cygnus.

"Is that how you're going to fight me now?" Cygnus raised his head and looked at the necromancer who was floating above them and looking down on him.

"If I am going to perish, then I would do it with a fight." The necromancer's eyes flashed red and all of the zombies ran towards Cygnus.

The master stomped his feet on the ground and several lines appeared from his feet and spread outwards. Once the lines stopped from spreading, Cygnus stomped once again and his blue fire appeared along the lines. The defense made by the master successfully burned the zombies in one wave.

Another set of zombies appeared once again and this time they were not burned but were sliced using a death scythe that materialized in the master's hand. He swung the weapon and effectively halved the dead bodies that were coming after him. A few more swings and all of them were down.

Wave after wave, set after set, the necromancer was relentless in sending zombies to attack Cygnus. He even followed it up with several lances that appeared in the air and launched them towards him. The master on the other hand was jumping all over the place while swinging the scythe in his hand and at the same time dodging the lances.

The necromance wasn't satisfied yet and he summoned those undead claws to join the fray. He was going all out without reservation because the man has the ability to destroy him but he already guessed that the man was only playing him. And with that in mind, the necromancer decided to just go all out.
