Your Not So Ordinary Villain

Chapter 39 He Is Savage

?The young man gave the bandit a nod. He already ascertained that the other people were not that strong and even if the woman looked weak that they could easily take them all down. With the man's signal, the bandits attacked.

Nina easily dodged the oncoming swords towards her. She was swaying and moving from left to right to avoid the weapons that were aimed at her. Her sleek and graceful movements made the bandits mesmerized which made Nina smile.

Instead of seriously attacking her, they made their attacks miss on purpose while their gazes were actually focused on her body. Astrophos's face reddened when he saw this scene after he alighted from the carriage with the intention of helping her. He covered his mouth and diverted his attention to the side.

While he and the bandits were distracted, Nina activated the bomb spells she planted on the ground while avoiding their attacks. The explosion injured the bandits and caused some of them to scream in panic as they scrambled away to avoid getting blown up but Nina was always prepared. No matter what direction they went, her spells would activate and explode on them.

The bandits in front were startled at the explosion. They were trying to injure and even kill the butler but none of their attacks worked. He was like a stone and would parry their metal weapons with his bare hands.

The young man behind did not expect this turn of events so he also joined the action. He floated in the air and sent stone projectiles around the area. He perfectly aimed at Nina and Astrophos in the back while simultaneously attacking the carriage and Mr. C.

Everyone defended themselves from the rain of sharp and heavy stone projectiles while the young man looked with satisfaction at the destruction he made. The projectiles that landed on the ground created a cloud of dust that partially covered his vision but despite that he was still proud of his work.

"Is that it?" A cheerful voice spoke from behind him.

The young man was startled that he turned around so fast that Cygnus thought he was about to break his neck. The young man looked at Cygnus with wide eyes. He did not even feel the man's presence even though he was already behind him.

"Ho-how did you get here?" The young man's voice trembled and his heart started to thump in fear as he looked at the man's dead eyes.

"Me?" He looked below him and then at the young man, "of course I used magic, you are not the only one who can use magic in here."

"Tha-that's impossible! I scanned the area while none of you possessed a lot of mana! Although that woman appeared to be strong, you, I don't feel anything from you!" The young man reasoned out and he even pointed a finger at Cygnus.

"You know I don't like anyone pointing their fingers at me, so I'll give you a special treatment and show you what you didn't see." Cygnus disappeared from where he was floating and appeared before the young man. He then touched his shoulder and whispered, "This is a level that your cheap scanning cannot detect."

A small surge of Cygnus's mana entered the young man's forehead and after only a second, the young man was already screaming in fear and pain. Cygnus held his arms while he struggled and trembled to get away from him.

All the screaming caught the attention of the people who continued to fight after the young man's attack. They all looked up and saw that he was squirming and with saliva dripping out from his mouth. They were stupefied at what they saw and didn't expect that their leader was defeated by the other man.

Cygnus pulled the man's collar, "Come on, you need to bear with it since you thought that I was someone weak." He spoke again but the young man did not understand what he was saying because of the vision he was seeing.

After a while, the mana that Cygnus put inside his body came out and returned to him. He then released the man and he plunged down without stopping. Cygnus watched as the young man hit the ground hard.

The bandits that were still fine ran towards their leader. He was still twitching on the ground with blood coming out from his mouth, nose and eyes. All the bandits who saw this looked at the man who was still floating above.

Sensing the glares sent his way, Cygnus granted their wish so he went down. A smile was what he answered to the angry glares sent to him. "It seems that you people easily underestimate your enemies just because you have a mage on your side."

"You bastard! What did you do to our leader?" One of the bandits shouted as they stood around the young man to hide him from the man.

Nina and Mr. C went behind Cygnus and Astrophos only followed them. He had been watching from the side with fear even though he was controlling his facial expression. He did not see what exactly happened but based on the leader's state while he lay on the ground, the fear was genuine.

"I just showed him what he failed to see. He even dared to point his fingers on me." He tilted his head when he suddenly remembered something, "I should have cut off his fingers! Ah, how sloppy of me that I even forgot to do that." He lightly smacked his head and shook it in disappointment but after a while, another scream tore through the space.

Everyone looked behind them and saw that the leader was bleeding from his right hand. "Wha-what happened?" One of them asked as he stared at their leader. Everyone then looked at Cygnus in fear. He did not even make a move.

Astrophos, who was looking from behind, was also shocked at what happened. He did not see anyone from his side making a move and the young man was hidden behind the bandits yet he still got injured.

"If you want to do something evil in front of me, be sure to do a better job of doing it. Don't be half-hearted because I feel embarrassed by your ridiculous actions." Cygnus removed his hand from his forehead and put them again inside the pockets of his pants. "If you want to be evil, be evil don't act like cowards just because you experienced a setback. That's why the likes of you never win."

Nina laughed when he saw that the bandits started to tremble at his every word. She really liked it when the master was acting like this, his charisma was coming out and he looked so charming. Mr. C on the other hand had no opinion whatsoever from everything that has happened. It was a normal occurrence.
