Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

Chapter 295 Loki's evil whispers - 'kill him now'

?Seeing one of the evil god's followers standing in front of them, laughing at them, the priest just sighed and pointed his palm on his face.

A white light gathered in front of his palm, slowly morphing into a small shape of a bead.

"May the light of retribution shines upon you. May you serve the punishment for the pain you caused. Pray to Poena that she shows some mercy in her methods."

The priest said with praying hands and holding the locket which had the symbol of a blindfolded justice goddess holding the scales in her hands, carved upon it.

This man belonged to the church of Dike, the spirit of justice and judgement. She's the daughter of Godking Zeus and goddess Themis. She's also one of the most famous and greatest Daemons of Greek mythology.

<Daemons are spirit bodies. Born from the union of gods and their understanding of laws. Their ranking in power is between that of Gods and demigods. Nonetheless far above mortals.>

As the priest finished his prayers, Darius had already fought and subdued the Evil's scion infiltrator on the ground. The bead of light fell upon that man's head and burned him to crisp instantly. Leaving only a charred meaty body and the smell of deep fried bones and vaporizing blood.

But soon black smoke started leaking from that man's body and cracked skin tissues, as sounds of laughter echoed in the room.

"You can still laugh under the punishment of goddess Dike. Just how far have you lost yourself?" The priest said with some surprise and pity.

But the man ignored him and kept laughing.

"All hail, Ditail."

He said and in the next second, under the confused eyes of many others, a loud explosion occurred in the room. Sending a wave a Cursed Mana that plunged everything into chaos.

Every organization of arcadia had their own trump cards to deal with others. Wrath had a poison gas that made people bloodthirsty, Warzy had potion that could make people lose their mana and aura. And Evil's Scion, who was one step above them, had cursed mana techniques.

Nether cards, Nether bombs and Nether blast - each method which could change the very nature of mana and make it go berserk.

And that's what happened here. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

In the closed space, the sudden explosion caught many guards and high ranking officials off guard and destroyed them too. Corroding their bodies with Nether, and when they tried to use natural mana to heal themselves - the cursed mana in the air only made their injuries more severe and infectious.

"What vile methods." The priest said as he brought out a glass of water from his ring and sprinkled in the air. The clear stream of water directly pulled all the nether in the air into itself.

Turning itself dark red inspite of the light of purity it had before.

The priest flew the dark red bubbles of water towards Darius who wielded one of the essence flames, called Azure flame - a powerful flame of light blue color which carried intense heat and properties of alchemy.

The flame soon refined that bubble whole until it turned back to it's previous state and disappeared in light particles.

Once the problem of Cursed mana was solved, Darius turned his attention to his subordinates, many of which were wounded by the explosion or cursed mana.

"Can you heal them?" Darius said and turned towards the priest named Melanthe.

<Many of the priests and followers of churches would drop their family names as a means to start anew and leaving mortal affections behind. Some even change their names, converting their identity as a whole to praise their gods and their various deeds.>

Priest Melanthe looked at the many wounded and lost people and nodded his head. "The grace of goddess Dike shines upon everyone equally. Go and bring justice to those evil lost souls, I will heal and help your fellow subordinates."

Hearing Priest's affirmation, Darius nodded his head and left the room with few men who were still fine after the explosion. Some who were protected by him and priest Melanthe, some who survived on their own.

Darius led them all outside and closed the entrance of the room, leaving two of his best guards to safeguard the priest and not let Evil's Scion or anyone interfere him.

"Luke, take 3 men with you and go to the South Side. Try to clear the rubble blocking the path to the teleportation circle."

"Cory, take Horus and Yuri to the stairs and check the situation at the rooftop. If those bastards from Evil's Scion made any teleportation circle or gates of their own, destroy it at all cost."

"Clint, Miya, Sunny and Ektar - go and help solving the crowd infected by Wrath's poison. There were guests from the cult of Poena and Para temple sitting in one of the VIP rooms. If you can find them, cooperate with them and get everyone back to their senses."

"Once the guests are back to their senses, you can go and help Cory for the rooftop."

Darius looked at his team and one by one issued various commands. Giving each of them their role and targets to deal with. Just looking at how calm and calculative he could be in an unpredictable situation like this showed his capabilities as a captain of these guards.

"What about you? Where will you go?" A women standing beside him with a mature charm and couger style asked him, when she noticed, other than him, everyone else had decided on their roles and places to be.

"Me, I'll go and look for our young master. If anything happened to him under our watch, even if we survive Evil's Scion and this attack, we won't survive the old master's wrath." Darius said and hearing the words old master's anger, every one of his team members nodded their heads like a bunch of scared birds pecking on rice.

'Please be fine, young master.' Every one of those guards prayed as they left Darius and rushed to their jobs.

Not aware that the young master they were talking about was laughing like a maniac looking at an unconscious Leon in front of him, while thinking enemies really do be meeting on short roads.

[Loki watches your actions with great interest.]

[Loki offers you one of his blessings if you can kill him.]

[Loki whispers "What's the point of playing small tricks on entrance gates, when you can end him now, and wipe away your hatred and humiliation of years in some simple seconds."]

["Do it. Don't hesitate. You can blame it on the Wrath guild or any of the other passerbys. No one would know it was you. It's a golden opportunity, he's weak and injured, do it before anyone comes to save him or he wakes up.]

["His talent is too high, he'll surely take his revenge on you for bullying him all those years. So why not kill him now and save yourself."]

[Kill him.]

Hearing Loki's constant whispers, reminding him of his insults years ago and hatred after seeing Leon showing his talent. Anger for not being able to have his revenge on several occasions - finally something inside Aldric snapped.

"He's right, if I kill you now. No one would know it was me." Aldric said as he pulled out a blade from his storage ring and started walking towards Leon, who was talking with Apollo in his sleep about why his rank dropped so suddenly.

(Loki chuckles seeing the fruits of his falsities.)
