Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

Chapter 247  Leon's beatdown

247  Leon's beatdown

-urgh-

Leon spat a mouthful of blood as he got kicked again. Using his element he created a little propulsion on his right, which pushed him away from Katherine's attack.

While Katherine missed her swing, Leon used the chance to propel himself forward and attack her. In mid air, he created a fireball and sent it towards her face, hoping to distract her and not give her enough time to dodge his main attack. Which was the sword slash he was preparing.

'Ice wall'

Katherine chanted the spell and an ice wall formed in front of her, but with her mana mostly depleted, it couldn't stop the fireball and broke upon contact. Few of the ice shards ended up hitting her, dealing a little damage as the barrier of the suit started glowing in amber around her.

She covered her sword in aura as she moved backwards to create distance, but Leon closed in on her fast. With a scream Leon slashed his sword hoping to stab her in the heart, yet when he reached close to her he found his hands empty.

No, there was actually no hand there.

It took a moment for his mind to go from confusion to shock, as the pain reached his nerves and a loud scream escaped his mouth, like a roar of a wounded animal.

-ahhhhh-

Rio's figure appeared beside Katherine pulling her back. While the chopped up hand of Leon fell to the ground.

'So fucking predictable' Rio said as he moved forward and slashed at Leon's head, ending his misery.

"Good luck next time."

Those are the words which echoed in Leon's head, before he felt lightness in his body, and then complete darkness all around him.

"Not fair, brother." Amelia said, as she used the last of her mana to break the chains of darkness and tree wines, which were binding her and Rebecca.

Rio smiled, as he saw the notifications for points that started appearing in his panel. He looked back at Katherine, who was about to fall down due to mana depletion and her injuries, and rushed towards her. Before she fell, he picked her up in the princess' carry and started moving towards his base, where the sound of fighting could be heard.

Clearly while Leon and others were holding him back, Valtor and the rest of his team attacked their base. Rio glanced at the time and noticed there were still 4 minutes remaining until the match ended.

"You should go back on your own. While I hold off Rebecca and Amelia." Katherine said softly, as she tried to use her aura to seal off her injuries.

"You're no match for them." Rio bluntly said, silencing her struggles.

After all, if Amelia fought seriously she could even take out Leon, unless Apollo gave him some of his secret cards. Amy was now C- rank too, and had many blessings to boost her strength.

As he channeled his aura to move quickly. During the fight, those guys dragged them a little away from the base. So to give enough time to their team partners.

At the base

"Why didn't they return yet? The barrier won't last for much longer." One of the boys from Rio's team said, as he looked at Valtor, Edward and Morphius attacking the barrier from the outside.

"Damn it, we won't be able to stop them if they come inside." A girl said as she moved back near the core.

"Maybe if they used all their mana, we could fight them."

"You serious, didn't you see what happened to the others." The girl said while scoffing at him. As she kept shooting arrows outside.

5 of their members went out to intercept Valtor and others, so as to stop them from attacking the barrier and buy time, but they all died without much of a challenge. The rest of the team tried to attack from the inside several times, but none of them were able to land a hit. As everyone was always able to dodge the spells. So as to conserve their mana, they chose to stay inside.

Morphius was in his werewolf form, with a wolfish head and a fur-covered human body. His claws and fangs were out. And every time he slashed them, each physical attack was creating sparks to fly whenever it landed on the barrier. His yellow eyes were scary to look at.

While Edward with his flame spells was creating a massive fireball ready to drop over the barrier.

Valtor was responsible for intercepting any attack that came towards Edward. He didn't use much of his mana, as he was saving it in case anyone returned or when the barrier broke.

'Ray of flame' A spell that concentrates fire into a focused beam, akin to a laser. That can burn through everything in its path, leaving nothing but devastation in its wake.

Edward finished his spell, and shot the flame towards the barrier. The sizzling sound echoed as sparks constantly flew down and the barrier started to melt around the beam.

– Hahahha "Burn everything for me" Edward said with a maniacal laughter as his red hairs danced in the air behind him. His aggressiveness from his childhood was only intensified several times after he awakened and got control over his element. And the villainous personality of arrogance and anger he had, would always show up whenever he used his spells.

"Damn it, I can feel the heat even here."

"How much mana does he have, he's gonna destroy it."

"Get ready to fight them. Barrier's about to be burned down."

Rio's teammates said, as they stared at the sky, where several cracks appeared in the barrier and started spreading.

While Valtor was preparing to enter the barrier, a blurry figure went past him, and he could only feel a gust of wind on his skin. "He's back" Valtor said, as he looked at the barrier and moved towards Edward.

Rio, after using his aura, crossed the barrier easily and placed Katherine inside.

"You should go _ "

While Katherine was about to say him to destroy the barrier of the other team since except Amaya everyone was here, Rio's figure disappeared directly.

Morphius turned back to gather with Edward and Valtor to attack together, as Rebecca and Amelia's figure could be seen a little far away.

"They can't even hold back two of them. Even after all that boasting." Morphius muttered.

"Why don't you try yourself."

Rio's voice came from behind him, starting him. Morphius turned back, raising his hands to block any attack, when a kick landed in his stomach knocking the air out of his lungs. Followed by a punch to his face, breaking one of his fangs and sending him flying.

Shadewarp, a spell which can help the user teleport to a place whose shadow they marked before.

Rio had marked Morphius's shadow before he entered the barrier and instantly teleported back out after placing Katherine inside.

"Time for round 2" Rio said, as he charged towards Amelia and Rebecca. While his shadow avatar rose from the ground and moved towards Valtor and Edward. After all, both of their elements were useless against his avatar.
