Your Not So Ordinary Villain



There on his right side was his enemy. He was floating in the air and had no physical body. His skin color was a pale green and his eyes were as dark as the night sky. His blonde hair was floating in all directions together with his robe. There was also a swirl of vines and leaves that followed him around.

The burly man did not expect his enemy to suddenly transform. He stretched his hand towards the remaining weapons he had and threw them towards the floating Nahar. All those weapons passed through him and did not create any damage. He gritted his teeth and tried several times but all of it just passed through the corporeal body of the elf.

"Do you really think that any physical attacks will hurt me?" Nahar sneered, "This is my true form as the guardian spirit of the forest and in this form, nothing can hurt me."

Nahar stretched out his hands and slowly raised them followed by a series of black pointed rocks that came from below the earth. It filled the entire place that the burly man needed to dodge and protect himself. Even so, Nahar did not stop because the wind around the man stirred.

Leaves and even the dust from the ground started to float and create a gray deadly tornado that trapped the burly man. He had no room for a counterattack and could only try to protect himself. He enclosed himself inside a metal box that he created and silently dug through the earth using his metal magic to escape.

He was cursing himself because he did not expect to encounter a spirit in his entire life. The spirit was already dangerous enough on its own but a master behind a spirit was even more dangerous. To be able to tame a spirit, a guardian spirit at that, one needed a tremendous amount of mana to at least bind it.

To create a contract with it, even more mana was required and it was not even a permanent contract. It was something temporary where the contract would end once the promise was fulfilled. Aside from that, it would also give a heavy toll on one's body.

"So, that was a guardian spirit," the bulky man mumbled to himself. He sighed and did not look back even though it was a chance of a lifetime to encounter one, he would still not risk his life for it.

While digging like a mouse, the burly man also came to a realization after having a taste of what someone powerful could do. They were truly incomparable to the likes of him who only had a long life and strength. If in front of the other humans, he could still boast because his magic was beyond their level.

And yet, at the face of a greater being he was like an ant, ready to be crushed any time. The arrogance he had at the beginning was smashed into pieces. Whatever reason why they were targeting them, he did not care. What matters to the man right at that moment was to escape and survive.

Nahar narrowed his eyes and the rumbling tornado he created disappeared. There was no reaction from the burly man and the whole surroundings were silent which was unusual. The metal box he used to protect himself was still there. Nahar then summoned a black rock that pierced the metal box and carried it all the way up only to reveal an empty space.

The hole that the burly man created also disappeared like nothing was in there the whole time. Nahar became angry because his prey got away. He floated around but felt nothing. He floated above the trees so he could have a wider perspective and did not see anyone running away.

"This won't do, the master will surely be angry if I don't capture that person." he mumbled as he looked around.

Since using the naked eye did not bear any fruit, he resorted to using the entire forest to look for his enemy. He injected mana to the ground which quickly spread through the whole forest that acted as sensors. He would immediately know if there was a person trying to escape from him.

After a few minutes, his mana touched something out of place underground. He used another wave of his mana to confirm and he was right, it was a person trying to escape. The burly man has dug quite deeply in order to avoid detection but Nahar still found him.

Nahar's corporeal body floated down and hovered a few inches above the ground. He then focused a considerable amount of mana into his hand and used it to split the ground in half. He raised his mana covered hand and brought it down in a slicing action.

The mana from his hand penetrated the ground until its deepest depths and successfully cut off the burly man's escape route. He then used his black stones and raised them below just to force out the burly man to emerge from the ground. Nahar did this patiently and calmly while waiting for the man to finally surrender.

The burly man was shocked at the sudden attack that halted him from his progress. He knew that he was already found out and when he tried to create another way, those black pointy rocks appeared in all directions blocking him. He knew that his enemy was forcing him out.

With nowhere to run, the burly man decided to go above ground and face the spirit once again. Although he was not confident to win, he was not going down without even attempting to win. His resolve became firm and so did his next attacks.

This time he was not using the weapons he collected and was instead molding weapons in the metal that he was summoning. These weapons were sturdier and much more powerful than the ones he kept for himself. Every attack that he did, did not do much damage to Nahar.

By the end of it, the burly man eventually exhausted himself and fell to the ground in a kneeling position. He had his head bowed down in defeat. Nahar assumed his physical body and walked straight towards the kneeling man.

"That's how the likes of you should be, kneeling on the ground." Nahar sneered as he patted the man's head. He was about to take him away when he felt pain in his body.

Although he was a spirit, once he assumed a physical form, he could get hurt like any human would. He looked down and he saw that there was a protruding black sword from his chest. He looked at the man who had his head bowed a while ago only to see him grinning at him.

"Although I am no match for you, I do not intend to surrender that easily." He declared as more swords struck Nahar.

The guardian spirit's body was riddled with weapons but he did not fall down. He glared at the burly man and before pinning him down using a tornado before he took several steps back to take care of his damaged body. The blood was already oozing out and flowing into the ground even without the weapons being removed.

He gritted his teeth and pulled those swords out. Every weapon he would remove would cause blood to gush out from his wound but it won't take long. His healing abilities as a spirit closed the wounds in seconds.

Nahar managed to get rid of all the weapons and once he retracted the tornado, the burly man was already unconscious. He sighed and created a cage that would contain the burly man because he did not want to take chances again. After the cage was done, he found a place where he could sit and wait for the master's next orders.

Cygnus watched the entire fight and he was impressed because of the strength that the guardian spirit displayed. Nahar was already strong enough even after they met but he did not think that his power as the guardian spirit was not something to be taken lightly. Now he became excited to see how Reitou would overcome his assigned target.

Cygnus then waved his hand and a gate appeared which also appeared at where Nahar was. Once he saw it, he levitated the cage and let it float behind him as they left that place. The traces of that fight remained and it would cause another round of rumors.

Nahar and his target arrived at a dungeon where Mr. C was waiting for her. He could already tell that the place was newly built because the bricks and metal used were all new. After admiring the place for a moment, he then pushed the cage slowly inside a cell that was opened by Mr. C.

Once the cage was placed down, he also dispelled the black rocks. The prison cell door closed and a symbol appeared on where the locks were supposed to be. He tried looking around but saw that the master was there.

"Please," Mr. C gestured his hand for them to enter, "the master is waiting for you."
