Villain With The Strongest System

( Rocky's POV )

Unlike other newbies, Rocky was unaffected by dragon's fear as he gazed upon the flying beast undeterred.

Of all the myriad species present within the tower, Rocky was the most curious about coming face to face with the dragon species one day.

As the two bone dragons emerged out of the tower and took to the sky. Rocky realized that the size of each bone dragon was like that of a ten storey building as those things were absolutely massive.

*SCREECH*

Instead of a true dragon's roar, a visceral shout that could induce fear in those who heard it through voice alone, the bone dragons could only produce ear numbing screeches at best, however, even those screeches made many climbers go white with fear.

On-top of the two bone dragons were dragon riders. High level undead troops whose strength was equivalent to a floor 50 climber.

Coupled with their formidable mount, they were entities that could destroy entire armies alone.

*Prrrrrr*

Unfortunately, the two bone dragons were not the only worrying thing for earthlings as apart from the dragons, there were countless small bone wyverns in the air, which were equal parts as dangerous.

Without wasting any time, from the moment this air-borne legion emerged they had their sights fixed on the long range weaponry of the Earthen army.

The mortars, the arch ballistae, the crossbows.

Basically, all the massive machinery that was converting the blast zone into a constant kill zone was the infrastructure they wished to target, as flying over the front lines, they immediately headed towards the machinery.

"INCOMING-" Rocky heard someone scream behind him, as the entire aerial unit skipped the front and reserve lines and began attacking the Earthen back lines.

"Not good…. Not good at all-" muttered Paladin Patrik under his breath as he understood that Earth was very ill-equipped to deal with aerial threats in this raid.

While they did have capable archers and mages in the backlines, the fight against the massive dragons was surely not going to be easy.

For a few minutes, the war intensified on all ends.

The front line fighters kept fighting against the ground troops with all the might that they had.

The back line fighters kept taking down as many wyverns as they could and tried to protect the heavy attack machinery, however, slowly but surely, the dragons were breaking them down.

As a trickle down effect, Rocky could see how the blast zone became more and more ineffective with the loss of heavy attack machinery and how the fighting at the front lines kept intensifying.

At this rate, unless someone took down the bone dragons quickly, the situation would continue to degrade for Earth's forces, as the momentum seemed to have shifted from being in their favor to being in the favor of the enemy.

( Meanwhile, Cody )

Association Leader Cody understood the importance of defeating the Bone Dragons immediately, but also understood that Earth had no mage powerful enough to take them down alone.

The best fighters that Earth had were already deployed on the front lines and while he could try and stall one dragon. He couldn't stop both by himself.

"God Cassius. I understand our contract was only for you to take down the enemy Lich when he appeared, but if you can deal with the bone dragons too, we would be immensely grateful" Cody said, as he turned towards lesser God Cassius, the foreign entity that Earth had recruited for this fight.

"Bone dragons? What fascinating creatures" God Cassius said, as he looked at them swooping above his head, but showed no intentions of fighting them.

Sitting peacefully with two beautiful naked women from Earth in his arms, Cassius enjoyed being fed grapes like a king, without caring for Earth or how many of its climbers were dying a meaningless death because of his inaction.

"Please Lord, we beg you for your help…" Cody said in desperation as he trembled and fell to his knees.

If it were only a matter of his own life, Cody would never have knelt, however, since the life of innocent Earthlings were at stake, he swallowed his pride and knelt to appease the god in front of him.

"Please don't beg Cody, I don't need it…" Cassius said, feeling slightly guilty for making a man like Cody kneel in front of himself.

"I'm reserving my strength for the Lich, but if you want I can help you take them down. However, I'll need to be compensated accordingly at the end of all this" Cassius said as Cody bit his lips when he heard Cassius's demands.

The climber's association was already paying exorbitant fees for his services, however, the greedy man wanted even more.

Although Cody did not wish to pay him anymore money, he understood that under the circumstances he did not have any other choice as bowing his head he begrudgingly accepted these conditions.

"Even if it bankrupts my association, we will pay you for your help, Lord Cassius" Cody said, as Cassius lightly tapped on the hips of the two ladies in his arms, signaling them to stand up.

"Very well then my friend, I'll handle this problem for you-" Cassius said with a smile on his face as he flew out to engage the bone dragons.

In terms of attitude, Cassius wasn't too bad. He was just a lustful and greedy god however he was not impolite to talk to.

However, what Earth needed now was not the best natured god, but rather someone who could make a difference on the battlefield, with all eyes now being on what this hired lesser god could do.

( Meanwhile Rocky )

'Five minutes….'

Rocky thought, as he looked at the constantly thinning front line and the struggling back line.

Rocky could see that Earth had roughly a five minute window to turn this around before their ranks broke and this raid turned into a massacre.

Currently stuck between a rock and a hard place, Rocky, just like Paladin Patrik did not understand whether he should rush to help the front lines or should he help the back lines, as being stuck in the middle without a clear leadership, he just felt like he could not decide upon the best course of action.

[ Strongest System Notification - You have been issued a new quest! ]

[ Quest Notification -

Quest Title - Birth Of A Hero.

Quest Duration - Until the undead wave ends.

Quest rewards - ????? ( Given immediately upon accepting the quest )

Failure Penalty - None

Do you wish to accept it?

Yes

No ]

Suddenly a quest window popped in front of Rocky, taking him by surprise.

"Huh, the strongest system awakened at such a time?" Rocky muttered under his breath, as he read the quest description and raised an eyebrow at the rewards.

This was the first time that the system was going to give him a reward for just accepting the quest and without any failure penalties at that.

"Almost too good to be true…." Rocky murmured, however, having faith in the system he decided to accept the quest.

[ Strongest System Notification - The quest 'Birth Of A Hero' has been accepted, distributing rewards ]

Rocky saw the system panel change from the quest menu to a message that said distributing rewards, however, even after a few seconds passing, Rocky felt or saw no visible change in his body.

"Where is the reward?" Rocky wondered as he looked around, until suddenly seemingly out of nowhere, a man with blood red eyes appeared in front of him.

"Whoa-" Rocky muttered in panic, swinging his sword at the sudden intruder, however, his sword passed straight through the red eyed man, as if he were just an illusion.

The man smiled, being ever so calm as he let Rocky calmly assess his facial features.

Long black hair, blood red eyes, pale white skin, a scar across his right eye....

"Y-y-you are…." Rocky said, almost choking on his own words as his heart beat wildly out of his own chest.

"No way…. No…. Really?" Rocky muttered in disbelief, as despite the accessory around his neck that helped him maintain rational thought, Rocky could not compose himself in the presence of this God.

"Hahaha….yes it's me… Ravan" the red eyed man said, as Rocky stared at him jaw agape.

The war god!

The progenitor of enhanced vampires!

The destroyer of worlds!

The strongest vampire in the history of the tower!

One half of the Gemini brothers, Ravan The Blood Monarch was standing in front of him!
