Your Not So Ordinary Villain



This news immediately reached Cygnus's ears. He looked at the board he was looking at that time and smirked. One of the pieces on the board floated up. Once it reached the height of the master's eyes, it exploded.

"They are on the move. How convenient." Another piece from the board floated and exploded. He waved his hand above the board and everything on it disappeared.

"There's a possibility that Sir Aberleign will meet up with those people, what are we going to do with that?" Mr. C asked after he received another information via the spy they planted near the elder.

"Let's have fun and capture them all," Cygnus answered. He did not even think twice and gave the order.

Nina who was there showed a crazed and excited look. She couldn't help it but jump in joy because of the news. She was eager to battle once again and she couldn't wait but destroy at least one of the Circle of Eight.

"I will inform our people then." Mr. C bowed his head before suddenly standing still on his spot.

He was contacting Ari and telling her the master's orders. The woman then will send the message to the people who would do the mission. After that Mr. C returned to his body and saw that Nina was already pestering the master. She was blabbering without pause and Cygnus could only stare at her.

During these times, no answers were needed for Nina. They would usually let her be because this phase would eventually die down. They endured the woman's chattering for a good thirty minutes before she bid them goodbye when she suddenly thought of something.

"I will go and prepare some things first. Please notify me once we are scheduled to go." Nina had a skip on her steps as she left the room.

"How are the others?" Cygnus shifted his attention to the butler. The board reappeared on the table and there were obviously new pieces added to it.

Instead of the usual black and white pieces red pieces appeared. Each white pieces were carved in the image of a staff while the black pieces were carved in the shape of a horse. The red pieces were a bit special because they were carved in the image of a claw hand.

Cygnus then placed the red ones around the white ones. He narrowed his eyes as he lifted one of the pieces and knocked over the white pieces one by one. After thinking for a moment, he then summoned for Astrophos who was busy organizing information that he got.

He was inside his study when he suddenly appeared inside the master's room with a feathered pen and paper still in his hands. He was shocked and looked at the master and the butler who were looking at him calmly. After a few moments of silence, he finally sighed and placed the things on his hand on the nearby table.

While doing so, he also noticed the board that was on the table and the unusual pieces in there. What actually caught his attention was the red pieces that looked so ominous even amidst the black and white. Astrophos shook his head as he took a deep breathe before he finally faced the master.

"Are you curious?" Cygnus asked after he saw the interest in the man's eyes as he stared on the specialized board that he had.

"Not to the extent of wanting to know it badly," Astrophos shook his head. He was more interested to know the reason why the master called for him in that manner.

"The white pieces are those that will fall under my trap soon while the red pieces are those who will make sure that it will happen and for that to be a one hundred success, I want you to release the wyverns and start scouting these relevant areas." A map appeared on the table and it replaced the board.

On the map there were several places that were circled and the master pointed at them all. Astrophos immediately nodded after hearing the master's instructions. The wyverns were then sent to these places and they became the master's eyes.I think you should take a look at

Several projections of the places appeared out of thin air. After everything was set up, the master clapped his hands and several people fell to the ground from a gate that suddenly appeared above them. Nina was in the middle of packing her clothes. The dragon was still half asleep and there was also Vain who was standing beside him.

Reitou who was helping Ezio and Isaiah was also summoned together with Nahar who was relaxing in the base. They both looked at the people around and looked at the master in question. They were suddenly summoned and it looked like they were going to have a meeting.

"All of you are here because I will be giving you all a mission. This is a mission you needed to complete no matter what happens." Cygnus started while looking at all of them. He started from the two guardian spirits then looked at the other people in the room.

The room was silent as they waited for the mission. They had been serving the master for a considerable amount of time now, so Ignius and Nina already knew what would happen. The other three were still anticipation a satisfactory answer from the master.

"Your targets will be the Circle of Eight. I will be sending you to their locations and I want you all to capture them. I don't care no matter what method you do as long as you bring me results, everything for you will be fine." Cygnus swiped from right to the left in the air to reveal a map with marked locations on it.

"When are we going to go?" Nahar asked after they all studied the map that was flashed in front of them. 

There were five locations which means that they would facing this Circle of Eight one-on-one and head on. Even though they have confidence with themselves, the guardian spirits were a bit reluctant because they were not as powerful as they were before. There was no way that they could defeat any of the members of the group.

The Circle of Eight was a famous group because of the power that each member have. Each of them had the ability to wipe out a kingdom if they so want to. Unlike the guardian spirits who have long lives, the Circle of Eight lived like immortals as their strength grew while the guardian spirits weakened.

"Now," Cygnus answered. Before any of them could even object they all disappeared in the room and appeared on the five locations of the map.

They were randomly transported so the guardian spirits might fight the strongest members or not. Nahar looked around before he sighed. His question was answered but they were not even given the chance to speak or ask more details. He sat on a flat stone and frowned at the green leaves that were surrounding him.

He was sent to the middle of the forest. While he was sulking, a floating square hologram like what the master was using appeared in front of him. There were also words written on it and when he read it all, he stood up. Since all has been prepared there was nothing he should hesitate about.

Nahar walked straight until he reached an open clearing. There was nothing in the clearing but according to the message the house of one of the members of the Circle of Eight was surrounded with an invisibility magic. This magic not only hides the dwelling place but also reflects the clearing to make it even more difficult to detect.

He took several steps forward and after ten steps he stopped. He then reached out and found that there was indeed something hidden in there. Although he couldn't see it, he could still feel it. After pinpointing a location on the surface of the hidden house, he channeled his power to his palms and caused a wave that interrupted the barrier and finally revealed a one-story house.

After observing it, Nahar concluded that there was no one inside the house. If there was, then they would be attacking right about now. The owner would have felt Nahar' magic but there was no reaction at all. Instead of looking for him, Nahar destroyed the house's padlock and entered.

He started exploring inside and saw that there were many weapons hanging on the walls. 'The owner of this place must be someone who enjoyed using weapons.' This thought ran through his mind as he examined everything inside the room.

Just as he was getting bored and deep and gruff voice came from Nahar's back. When he turned around, he saw a burly man that was standing in there. He was glaring at Nahar to the point that he wanted to destroy the trespasser that entered his home. The big man walked inside with his teeth gritted because he saw how the woman had been touching all of his collection.
