Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

Chapter 302 Shiva Appears

?As Ronnie started bleeding to his death, doing vein struggles of surviving and getting out of those sun spears, only to end up failing - his second partner took this chance to get out of his predicament and head for the rooftop, where the teleportation circle was created.

He brought a new paper scroll out and threw it at the ball artifact behind Saisha. The black scroll unfolded in the air and started spewing a poisonous air that seemed to seep into the dream artifact.

Watching as the people who were still asleep in the ball artifact Net of the Night, started coughing blood and spewing foam from their mouth, Saisha noticed the danger to their life and started focusing on rescuing them.

She brought out another unique rank artifact, called Projection of Paradise.

This artifact formed an illusion of a paradise using the user's connection to holy magic. Since heavens refuse entry to anything poisonous, unholy or evil - the effects of the mysterious new poison seemed to withdraw.

<This artifact was something her aunt sent her a few days ago, after she learned about the incident with Warzy and their poison attack at Dorsia. Not wanting to put the life of Saisha in similar danger next time.>

While Saisha breathed a sigh of relief seeing that everyone she saved were still fine, the second hooded man had already used this chance to escape from this place.

Quick on her eyes, Rebecca did notice his slight movements but the tired and spent princess was no match for this guy's various tricks.

And soon in a few seconds what was left behind in the hall were just the four students from the first year of Zenith. All on the verge of collapse - drained in mana and energy.

Vanessa was checking up on Leon, who was looking more pale than a century old sleeping vampire. She brought a batch of pills and poured them in his mouth and lay down near him.

Rebecca spewed out a mouthful of black blood as she removed the poison needles from her hands, courtesy of the second hooded man before he left.

Saisha too, waved her hand and stored all her artifacts back, at least those which weren't broken in pieces during the fight or useless now since they were a one use only. She also noticed a few artifacts missing, the hooded man probably stole them, before running away.

"Mother would be angry." Saisha muttered, looking at a green bracelet on her wrist, which had lost all its previous luster and now turned to empty gray color.

Her nose was bleeding a little, but she didn't say anything and just started searching for her fellow elves. Her guard Jaesin had led them a little away from the battle once she got serious and brought out dozens of magical artifacts.

Using so many artifacts had drained her mana pool and vitality to the last drop too, and if not for her determination she would've already fallen unconscious into mana depleted state.

But her heart didn't allow her to rest, without knowing if her people were safe or not.

On the other side, the second hooded man who left the first basement hall, stopped his movements and the invisibility skill when he reached a secluded place in the broken venue.

"That bitch sure got a lot of tricks and trinkets." He said looking at the handful of artifacts he managed to steal. Some archery spells, some kind of formation or illusion trapping flag artifact, and one piece of a unique rank auxiliary item, which could replenish mana easily during battle.

"If not for the higher ups being in such a hurry, I sure would've taken everything from her." He muttered playing with the mana replenishing earring in his hands.

"That's not yours, so I'll be taking it." A voice came to Mylock's ears and to his surprise, the earring he threw up, disappeared in the air.

"Wha_?" he exclaimed in surprise looking at his empty hand.

"Mylock the spellthief, ace of the Akbar and the killer of kronans. I'd suggest, you follow me for now."

A voice broke the hooded man's thoughts, as he heard someone mention his alias. He looked warily at the shadowy figure walking down the stairs in slow steps.

The light behind him made it harder for Mylock to see that figure's face, so he could just be on guard.

"Who are you?" Mylock asked as he put away all his artifacts and brought out 'the book of stolen spells'.

A thick book where every page holds a specific spell that was someday shot at him, to take his life, but he stole and sealed it first.

"Shiva" The mysterious man said as he disappeared from his place under Mylock's eyes and appeared in front of him, ready with a tightly clenched fist.

"Humph," Mylock scoffed and tapped his finger over the book, as a single sheet of yellow paper tore and turned into a transparent shield with a demon's head at the forefront.

As Shiva's hand drew closer, the demonic face on the shield opened its mouth, ready to devour this blow and the one in front of him too.

Shiva saw it, but scoffed in response. He felt his hand getting pulled inside the shield, and even after his hand was elbow deep in the mysterious mouth, he didn't feel like he hit anything.

Mylock seemed to have expected this and was ready to ask his question about his identity, when Shiva suddenly turned his hand inside that shield sideways, twisting his body along and gave a roundhouse kick to his head. Knocking him down.

Before he could get back straight, Shiva prepared to give him another kick.

Though Mylock tried to raise his shield in response, but Shiva's hands seemed to finally grab onto something in that mysterious space inside the shield, and the demonic shield refused to budge even a little.

"Wha _ how?" Mylock uttered before he felt another kick landing on his head, which he felt broke something inside him, but he didn't know what.

His head made contact with the floor and he felt the bad taste of stone and dust in his mouth. "Who are you?" He said, as he dropped the Shield of Devour, which started showing signs of several cracks, and disappeared from his place.

He appeared again on the edge of the VIP floor above the stairs and asked. "It would be wise for you to turn back and leave, before my friends finish the party upstairs and come to kill you. You don't want to mess with us." Mylock threatened while opening the video crystal which transmitted everything that he saw back to his superiors.

"I don't like other people dancing on the stage I set for my own debut." Shiva said as he noticed his little actions behind the book and smirked a little.

'System, I don't have to tell you what to do next right?' He asked his system, who smiled in response with a snarky comment.

[Target locked and the nuke is loaded. One big fucking blast coming right up.]

[10_9_8_7_ _ _ 3_2_and booom]

System gave a countdown ending with a fiery scene of fireworks on its blue screen. Lighting it up in rainbow sparks.

It was too pretty to look at, but the scene on the other side of that video transmission became chaotic.

A deep underground base near the heart of floating islands, where several people were sitting around a round table watching a video clip playing in front of them, discussing the downfall of their followers and failure of their plan, until loud warnings echoed in their base and all the formations and communication devices started to fail.

The projections of people in that round table started to disrupt and disappear one by one, as the remaining two people looked at each other in surprise, until a big explosion occurred and the natural cover of land that protected them all this time, became their own graveyard which buried their bodies for all time.

Without even a need for struggle or to plan any surprise escape, all who were sitting in that base became corpses in a matter of moments, as a high amount of radiation poured onto their location, burning their bodies instantly until not even their shadows remained on some stones.

The crystal in Mylock's hand cracked and fell down, and his face became confused for a second before turning into shock and fear, as he looked up to see Shiva's smirking expression. And moving hands which signaled a sign of explosion.

"Eclipse is taking over the scene now, spellthief. Pests from the past's era should let go of their arrogance." Shiva said, and appeared directly behind him, throwing a metal chain that tied around his neck, locking his mana reserves once and for all.
