Your Not So Ordinary Villain



This chaotic battle continued. Although the king held a god tier weapon, he couldn't maximize it because his enemy was good at dodging and distracting them. Ishmael and Ulysses were trying to corner her but it proved to be difficult because of how agile she was moving.

"Allow me to assist you." Archmage Sigma stepped into the battle and created a barrier that easily trapped Nina who was moving everywhere.

The barrier has the ability to stop any mages from moving. Their speed would become slow and it would give advantage to the user of the barrier because he could control who could move or not inside. Nina was restricted and the king used this chance to attack her.

Orpheus flashed forward once again with the sword raised above his head and he brought it down on Nina whose movements were still restricted. She wasn't fazed that much though as a purple glow surrounded her. The glow prevented the sword from making direct contact with her but it still diminished her shield.

With sheer will, she managed to break through the restriction as she stepped back. She raised her hands while closing and opening her fingers. She could feel a tingling sensation running through her arms. The sword was dangerous because it has the ability to break down mana.

Nina couldn't let herself touch that sword or she would be experiencing pain. "That sword is dangerous." She mumbled as she tried to create more distance between her and the king.

It was a bit difficult for her though as long as she was inside that stupid barrier. She looked at the archmage who created the barrier with contempt but Sigma wasn't deterred by her. Nina's body felt like it was being pulled down towards the ground. She felt like there was a ton of weight on her shoulder.

"It's useless, you won't have the advantage in this place." Sigma answered her glare with a serious face. He would make sure that she won't be able to escape.

Instead of confronting them head on, Nina decided to release her mana inside the barrier. The archmage noticed this as he casted a shield around the king and the two generals. The mana started to etch itself on the barrier and on the ground around them.

"If I can't leave then, I'm just going to explode you all in this place." Nina smirked as she activated the etched symbols on the ground and on the walls of the barrier.

The explosion shook the ground and caught the attention of the crowd. Almost all pairs of eyes were directed at the direction where the explosion happened. They were all waiting for the smoke to subside to see what had happened inside the barrier that appeared in the middle of the battlefield.

As the smoke and dust settled, there were five figures that could be seen inside. They were all standing but their status couldn't be confirmed yet. Nina had a grin on her face as she looked at the people who received the full blast of her mana explosives.

They looked fine but that will not last long because Nina wasn't done yet. She grinned and this made the archmage grimace. Another explosion rocked the barrier and the ground but Sigma did not let the woman have her way. He immediately countered the mana mist that Nina released and released his own.

Sigma's green mana mixed together with the purple mana which weakened the explosion. Orpheus on the other hand did not just stand there and went ahead to attack the woman. He stabbed the sword at the place where Nina was supposed to but she was not there. The sword only stabbed the air.

Ishmael and Ulysses also made their move as they attacked the direction where they felt that Nina was. With their sharpened senses, they could at least tell where she was and because her movements were limited, one of the swords actually grazed her.

The smoke finally disappeared and they saw her kneeling on her right knee while holding the wound she got on the side of her stomach. The people who were outside saw her situation and they couldn't stop themselves from feeling great at seeing her in that situation. Vain frowned as he brandished his threads and attacked the warriors again.

Nina couldn't believe that she would be wounded in that fight. It never happened before because all of her opponents were weak. Ever since the master took her under his wings, she never lost and never experienced a wound. She was always victorious.

She gnashed her teeth because she couldn't accept that they were able to injure her. She won't let them get away from what they did. Her fists clenched and the sky was suddenly filled with her purple mana.

In her anger, a rain of purple flame fell down to the ground. Everything it touches melted into a puddle. Nina's hair glowed purple as she stood up and looked at them with her glowing eyes. With another wave of her hands, the purple mana above them released another purple rain.

Screams rang in the air as the purple rain touched their bodies. Any part that touches the rain would immediately melt into a mixture of blood and something black that was formerly the skin. Their armors couldn't protect them and the mages needed to step up and set up a barrier to protect them.

The barrier that Archmage Sigma broke into pieces as the rain touched it. Nina was freed and was on the verge of explosion because of what they did. Vain, Nahar and Reitou all took a step back because they already noticed that Nina was not in her right state of mind.

She slowly flew into the air with her hair floating around her. The glow in her eyes intensified and Sigma knew what was about to happen. Galahad also noticed what the woman was about to do so he retrieved all of the talismans he had and positioned it near the archmage.

With the archmage using magic, a barrier surrounded the remaining soldiers and mages. The talismans amplified the archmage's spell and strengthened it. Nina did not notice this detail because she was about to go berserk and explode.

The purple glow intensified even more and, in a flash, she exploded. The entire area was covered in purple light. It even reached the mansion and colored it purple for a few minutes before it slowly returned to its usual dark and gloomy atmosphere.

The warriors were lucky because they managed to survive after hiding behind the archmage and Duke Galahad but the damage caused by the explosion was beyond their expectation. After the light subsided, the whole street behind and around them were flattened. Even the manor's front porch was no more and only the manor and the forest behind it remained.

They looked at it in fear and trepidation because they could already tell how strong their enemies were. It caused their morale to plummet at the thought that they might not be able to win. Compared to them though who were safe, Nina on the other hand exhausted herself and Ignius appeared to catch her.

Seeing this, Orpheus decided to let his men retreat. They were already on the losing side of the battle and unless they could come up with a plan to counter the powerful people beside the master, their chances of victory would remain vague. The command was accepted and the warriors retreated from the battlefield.

Ignius on the other hand let them be since it was the master's orders. It was already okay that he was able to show them what he could do without joining the battle. That was just a taste of what they were going to face in the coming days.
