Your Not So Ordinary Villain



Vain thought that it was done already but then he froze in place. His body refused to move and he actually felt fear. He slowly turned around and beyond the pieces of flesh that were floating in the air a woman was standing and looking at him.

She had the same looks as the large demon he defeated; the only difference they had was that the woman was now the same size as that of a regular adult human. The woman grinned and her red eyes were smiling at him. Before Vain could even move, the woman was already in front of him and with only a swipe of her seemingly weak hand, he hit the ground so hard that it cracked under the pressure.

He could feel his body getting injured from the attack. Several bones were broken and his internal organs also suffered. Blood started to come out from his mouth and nose because of the impact. His vision became a bit blurry but with his regenerative ability, his injuries started to heal.

"Hi-hi…" he heard a sound and when he got near it was actually from the woman. It was supposed to be a laugh but it came out as something else. "I won't let you die that easily, hi-hi."

The woman's claw-like hands went down towards Vain's body as he still laid on the ground while his injuries were healing. Vain gritted his teeth as he forced himself to roll to the side to avoid the woman's claws. He was successful but it was a bit difficult to breathe because he moved without his injuries healing properly.

Vain felt the claw once again so he had no choice but to continuously dodge the attack. Every swipe and movement that the woman's hands were doing was accompanied by a sharp 'wheeze' of wind that left marks on the ground and on the trees where the sharp wind landed. His movements were a bit sluggish because of his injury that he was nicked by the wind and five long marks appeared on his arm.

The demon was still smiling as she continued with her attack. Aside from her claws her hair was also in action. Twines of her hair started to attack Vain too as they attempted to block all of his escape routes. To survive, Vain used his dark mana to defend himself and sever the twine of hairs that were attacking him.

He had been buying time and once his injuries healed, he went all out once again and released his dark mana. The wave of his mana hit the twines of hair and sliced them into pieces. It did not stop there because these waves continued until they reached the woman but she used her arms to block the attack.

Vain saw that his mana wave was not working so he raised his hand, waved his hand and several dark knives appeared in front of him. Since he had the ability to change the shape of his mana at will, it was very easy for him to create deadly weapons that could defeat his enemy. He slightly flicked his wrist and the dark knives flew towards the woman.

The dark knives passed through the spaces that the woman's hand couldn't cover and it hit the woman in the face and on her upper body. Before the woman could remove them, Vain moved his hand in a pulling motion and the knives were pulled away. He then waved his arm in an upward and downward motion which the knives followed.

The demon was hit again and this continued as the demon became distracted with the attack and she became annoyed with it. Vain used that opportunity to attack with his mana wave that successfully penetrated the woman's defenses. Her arms were cut into two and even her head was severed from her neck.

Vain did not stop there as he materialized black swords from his mana and used it to pin the woman's head on the ground and pierce the woman's body. Several more swords appeared above and rained down on the woman. The child stopped but he did not let his guard down. He was focused on the garden of swords that his magic created and at the woman's body that had not moved for a couple of seconds now.

Once the time was up, the woman's body started to wriggle and deform like a liquid. It bypassed all the swords on the ground and came to a safe place where she regrew her head once again. The woman laughed as she looked at Vain with glee.

The woman disappeared from where she was standing and appeared behind Vain but a shield simultaneously appeared to protect him. The woman jumped back but she did not stop from attacking. She continued to close the distance between them but the child was good at defending himself.

As he continued to defend, the woman's movements started to get faster and faster to the point that it was difficult for Vain to guess where she would attack. So, before the woman could attack a burst of black spikes appeared around Vain that extended above him. This attack and defense forced the demon to take a step back.

"You are doing good, child, even if there's only a demon's blood running in your veins." The woman's whole body bulged a bit with her veins turning red and the miasma around the place started to get thicker and more poisonous.

Vain could find even within the miasma but now that it became more potent and the poison became deadlier, his body started to feel the strain of the miasma. He shrugged it off though and readied himself for the oncoming attack. The woman flew towards him and she easily shattered the shield that the child materialized.

Vain raised his arms that were coated with his mana to block the woman's claws. He skidded back as the woman pushed him until he stopped because his back hit a tree and in that small time frame, the woman was already attacking him again. He got down and avoided the claw then he rolled to the side to avoid the red twine of hair that pierced the ground.

He crossed his arms and the dark mana strand encircled the woman then he held the strands and coiled them on his hands as he jumped back and uncrossed his arms which tightened the strands around the woman. He coiled the strands again to tighten it because he wanted to slice the woman in several pieces.

Vain tried his best and used his strength to do so but he failed. The demon's body was tough and with just a bit of strength from the woman, the strands broke. The woman flashed in front of him and caught him on the neck. She raised him in the air as she tightened her hand on the child's neck.

The sound of cracking echoed in the air and the thought of dying flashed in Vain's mind. He was starting to lose consciousness and blood was starting to pour out from his mouth once again. Even with how much he struggled and how fast his regeneration was, he still couldn't free himself from the woman's iron grip.

Vain suddenly fell on the ground with the woman's hand still attached to his neck and as he looked up and saw a man with long wavy black hair and brown complexion standing before the demon. He removed the hand on his neck and threw it to the side before he backed away from them.

Vain knew who the man was. He was the dragon that was serving the master. Amongst the people beside the master, he was probably the strongest. The butler was also strong based on their fight during the Magic Tower incident.

"The master called for me because he was too lazy to deal with you and of course he can't leave this child in danger alone," the dragon declared. "I'm so excited because I'm being called more often now." The man's deep and loud laughter echoed in the area.
