Your Not So Ordinary Villain

Chapter 181 The Magus Shows His Powers



This time the magus showed a grimace. He had prepared that magic for a long time to make sure that Duke Ulysses won't get in his way in the future and yet it failed. First, he was forced to activate that magic and now it didn't work. He gave his disciple a glare.

"This is a piece of advice, fiddling with that ancient magic that is left behind is not wise. I am speaking from my experience, so you should be more careful in the future." Cygnus stood up and walked up towards the man. "If you want to use them, then be ready for the consequences."

The magus closed his eyes and when he opened them, he was overflowing with power. Cygnus was pushed back and hit the wall hard. He coughed and held his chest as he slowly stood up.

Before he could even regain his balance, a red blast was sent his way and for the second time he was flung back. The wall behind him was destroyed and he landed on the next room together with the rubbles. He coughed out blood as he laid there and stared at the ceiling.

It was a blow that could kill him if it was in the past but right now, he was just enjoying the pain. There was nothing wrong with acting weak from time to time. He laughed and waited for the magus to come and finish him off.

He could hear his footsteps that echoed in that silent room. The magus must have thought that he could easily kill him just because he had that kind of power. The sound of the footsteps stopped beside him and his blurry vision could make out the magus's silhouette.

"I don't know who you are or what your agenda is but I won't let you interfere any longer. I've been waiting for so many years just to find a suitable place where I can grow my power and surpass everyone and here you are appearing out of nowhere, throwing all of my efforts into vain." The Magus's voice deepened and sounded a lot like that of an old man.

Cygnus's vision slowly cleared as he stared at the face that was of the Magus Maximus. It was different from his previous youthful look. His blonde hair lost its color and appeared to be whiter. Cygnus also noticed the slight wrinkles on his face.

"You look much older than me and for some reason I remember that face." Cygnus's voice softened as he looked at the man that was looking down on him.

Ari, who was still monitoring the magic in the dukedom, was shocked when she heard a warning. She stood straight and remained in that position as she searched among the programs in her had malfunctioned. The red notice actually came from the file where the master's memories were stored.

"Mr. C, please proceed to the magic tower. The master's memory is showing a red sign," she contacted the butler and issued the notice out loud which caught the attention of Astro.

"What's happening?" Astro stood up from where he was sitting and looked at the woman. He became a bit anxious after hearing the urgency from the woman's voice.

"Something disastrous might happen. I want you to brace yourself." She did not tell him the reason was for her urgent command but the mate could see that the situation was not that good.

The butler appeared together with the dark child, "Sir Astrophos, please look after the child. I need to go and see what is happening with the master." He laid the child on the invisible ground they were stepping on before he stood up.

Astro looked at the child and before he could nod, the butler also disappeared. He was a bit confused and lost but first things first, he crouched down to examine if the child was okay. He was relieved when he saw that the child was only sleeping. Astro then carried him and carefully placed him in the chair before looking in Ari's direction.

Ari was still talking with the butler who had just exited a gate outside of the tower. He looked up and sighed when he heard the situation from the woman. "The master's memories are being accessed."

"That's unusual, why would the master suddenly want to look at his memories when he himself refused to take them back from you?" The butler entered the tower and bypassed all floors to reach the top. He could feel two unusual energies just as he entered the Hall of Saints.

"Something might have triggered it, what shall we do? Shall we stop him or let him be?" Ari asked while she was busy preparing to interfere. She can at least slow down the master from accessing the memories that might harm him.

"Whether we stop him or not, he will still be furious. I will only be there to make sure that nothing goes wrong." Mr. C answered as he looked around. He then saw two people in a standstill while facing each other.

He identified the other one as the Magus Maximus although he didn't have his younger look but he could still say it was him. His master on the other hand was a bit beaten up but the air around him was different. His eyes had already turned red which must have been caused by the memories he was currently accessing.

"Let me ask you something, have you ever heard of my name?" The master's voice echoed and created a vibration in the air.

"Your name, you are just a lowly aristocrat that I wouldn't even spend effort to remember your name, but I'll give you that privilege. I will kill you and remember your filthy name. I will add it to the list of people whom I have defeated." the Magus laughed.

If he should remember the names of the people that he had met through the course of years, only those who were worthy of remembering would he take note. The names of the people he had killed were also stored in his memories even after living for so long and transferring from one body to another.

Cygnus laughed, "I am not referring to my current name because I have another name." He took one step forward, "I'm sure that you will remember it because if I am not mistaken you were that day."

The Magus looked at the deranged expression from the man's face and no matter how he tried to remember, he couldn't tell if he had seen the man. If there was one thing he learned from the man was that he was not the son of Ulysses Ginehart. He must have been an impostor that the duke found to pose as his son.

"If that is the case then I am not interested to know whatever your name is." A red light appeared below the master followed by the appearance of monsters that were summoned through it.

Cygnus jumped up and encircled himself with a silvery white shield. While he was still in the air, he called forth black lightning that hit the magus but just like him, he covered himself with a red shield. He looked up and a black serpent appeared as it coiled its body around Cygnus.

The shield he put up around him was about to break and the Magus smiled as he summoned a death scythe imbued with his magic. He waved the scythe's blade towards Cygnus as it created a red line of energy that hit the serpent and Cygnus.

He did not stop there as he waved the scythe several times and created that effect. Several explosions followed the magus's attacks. Cygnus did not flinch and he calmly reinforced his shield to let the attack pass by. After he felt that the attacks stopped, he pushed himself using the serpent's body to leave the smoky place.

The magus saw a ball of silvery white exited from the smoke and dust created by his attack. He did not waste time and teleported in the direction where Cygnus was headed. He stretched out his hand to create a magic circle and a red claw appeared to charge towards the shield.
