Your Not So Ordinary Villain



Slowly the people coming and going in the headquarters dwindled because they soon realized that the task was not that simple. The information that the holy knight needed was difficult to obtain. Now the only people who were looking for information were those who belonged to an organized group. To address this problem, Onyx decided to reach out to the other kingdoms.

"Then why didn't you talk to the king?" Aberleign was a bit confused as to the real motive behind the meeting. If the holy knight really wanted to expand his influence, he should have set up a meeting with King Orpheus of Lunaira.

"I wanted to build a connection first. I am well aware that it is not easy to enter Lunaira because of how the kingdom has the royal family and the four duchies. With an influential person backing our organization, then it would be easier to establish," Onyx explained.

Lunaira was not as easy to infiltrate as El Merey because of the presence of the dukes and the four generals. He couldn't afford to mess up and anger any of those powers because it might spell disaster. They did not have the time to be inciting a war against any of the kingdoms without knowing where their enemy was.

If that happened and the World Breaker would learn of this, he would eventually use it to his advantage. They couldn't let him slip once again. They needed to defeat him once and for all.

"You already had an influence in this place, so why the sudden decision of expansion?" Aberleign wanted to know the real reason although he already had an idea about it.

"I will tell you the truth, Sir Aberleign. It is because of the World Breaker. The wider the scope of our influence is, the higher the chance that we will be able to find the man." Onyx admitted and it was okay to tell half of the truth.

"Is that man really that dangerous?" The Eternal Hero had been curious about it ever since he read the notice. To issue that kind of notice meant that they were serious in finding this man.

Onyx was a bit quiet for a moment before he answered. "Yes. You don't have any idea how dangerous that man is." The contempt in his voice was so obvious. "The reason why we call him the World Breaker is because he has the power to destroy a world. The god we are serving showed to me the devastation he had caused to whatever world he was in," he continued.

At the mention of another world, Aberleign became even more curious and at that moment a name flashed in his mind. It was from his old friend, the Magus Maximus. He talked about it once with him, the stories of a person who could tore open the space and travel into another world. It was one of the things that he had been experimenting with before he died.

"Does that man have the ability to travel across worlds?" It sounded like folklore but because of how the Magus Maximus had been talking about other worlds when he was still alive, Aberleign wasn't that averse to the idea.

"Yes. That man can easily manipulate space and leave that is why he must be stopped. He has already destroyed so many worlds and I don't want to see this beautiful land turning into black." Onyx spoke with so much conviction that he had been sitting straight and alert.

"That kind of man would be difficult to find." Now he was also interested in this person. A man with enough power to destroy a world would be a good fit to him.

The room fell into silence as they waited for the hero's decision. It took him minutes to finally agree and help the holy knight. Working with them would be beneficial to him too; there was no harm in helping him.

"I understand. I will inform the king and the leaders of each duchy regarding this matter." His hand moved and patted the young who was busy taking a bite from all the desserts that were displayed.

Cygnus could feel that the holy knight was looking at him so he shrugged his shoulders. "No matter how you look at me, I can't do anything." Cygnus suddenly spoke. "He is my father but he is also the leader of the Ginehart duchy so all decisions regarding our territory all come from him."

Cygnus was shaking his head as he said those words. He wouldn't let it be easy for these bastards to enter his own territory. So, this was the reason why they were eager to meet the hero. Cygnus criticized the man's action and deemed it unnecessary trouble.

Though it would also be in his favor if they could enter Lunaira. Once they were inside the kingdom, he could easily toy with them. 'Isn't that a good idea?' he thought to himself.

"But I can help you by putting in good words to my father. I can try to convince him and I can also try talking with Duke Galahad Blackwell." He suddenly offered which piqued the interest of the holy knight.

"That would already be a lot of help for us," he cried in joy. Even the servants inside the room felt relief at the young man's words.

"I cannot guarantee though that they will agree. All I can do is talk to them and try to persuade them but the final result will still be in your hands. You should strictly follow their rules." Cygnus added as an afterthought.

"We appreciate your effort and the next time we meet. I hope that we can receive good news from each other." Onyx couldn't believe that the young man would volunteer to help them.

The details of the plan were discussed a little bit deeper and when everything was finally settled, Aberleign stood up. They bid the holy knight goodbye and left the place. After they returned to Lunaira, the plan would be put into motion.

"We still have time. Do you want to visit the royal library?" Aberleing asked after they left the headquarters.

"Am I allowed?" Cygnus's attention went to the hero as he looked at him with wide, eager eyes. He was more excited to go into the library than meeting the holy knight.

"Yes. I already got the king's permission," Aberleign nodded. So, when he saw that the young man really wanted to go, he instructed the driver to take them to the palace.

Cygnus certainly learned a lot of information in the two days that they were there. But the most crucial information he needed to know was in that library. Once he got a clear list of the other people who were probably immortal, he could now go ahead and make them all suffer.
