Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

Chapter 268 The ending

Rio's words seemed to be drowned in the constant thumping sound Saisha's previous rain of arrows was still causing everywhere.

But she heard it.

"Not so fast." Saisha said as she pulled the bowstring in her hand and the two broken parts of the bow started changing their appearance and turned into swords.

The original bow was now a pair of twin swords connected by a string.

Saisha slashed her swords at Rio's head trying to catch him off guard. While Rio, who knew her usual fighting style from the original book moved his body sideways, dodging the incoming sword, as he kicked her stomach, throwing her back a few steps.

Without giving her a chance to fight back or create another bow and shoot him down, Rio dashed straight at her, engaging in close combat.

Though Saisha was still able to control a few arrows through her elemental magic. And shoot a few spells which didn't require chants or something.

<In Arcadia, everyone can learn chantless magic. Obviously it depends on their mastery and understanding. Simply explained, once one has total control and understanding of a certain spell, they can use that spell just by imagining it. Meaning no matter how talented you are, you can't learn chantless magic for free. You gotta train that spell to nigh perfection before mastering it on your thoughts.>

Saisha was using her elemental magic constantly to enhance her physical abilities but soon she noticed something was wrong, as she felt mana getting thinner and thinner in the area around them.

And soon it was to the point where she couldn't even feel it without focusing hard on it.

"A formation, or is it rune magic?" She muttered under her breath as she tried to look around and move back.

But Rio didn't give her time, as he constantly barraged her with sword slashes.

"No one said it wasn't allowed," Rio said as he looked at the circular pattern created on the ground, by using the mana infused arrows of Saisha and aura infused attack patterns of his.

-Zero zone

A basic formation pattern which is easy to perform with enough control and understanding.

Often used at children's talent measuring tools and public awakening ceremonies by the World Association.

Obviously what Rio created was just made up mojo junk which could barely last for 10 or so seconds before losing control and shattering in pieces, creating a blast, but that was all the time he needed.

Rio raised his sword and in a flash ignoring Saisha's twin swords coming in from both his sides moved it downwards. Cutting onto her waist, dropping the token hanging there on the ground.

Saisha, seeing that the token was falling down, tried to use her element , as the ground below both of them cracked and wines sprouted out from them, growing in size instantly.

The wines moved straight upwards trying to hold the token, but suddenly they froze and then turned into splinters.

The formation pattern disappeared, destroying everything around them.

Wooden splinters and stones hit both of them, giving mild injuries, but both of them ignored it.

Now Saisha could feel her mana again, but before her spells or hands could get the hold of the token, a kick from Rio sent the token flying out of her reach towards Leon's position.

This single exchange took only but a second or two, yet this one moment changed the entire game.

The sword slash from Saisha landed on Rio's shoulders at this point too leaving behind a red alert from the health barrier and painful sting that freaking hurts.

Rio's feet landed on the ground again and he moved sideways, dodging the second sword.

"My turn" Rio said with a smile, and his figure disappeared in a flash again.

This time the game really began.

Rio's speed, which was already fast before, reached a new high and he appeared directly in front of Saisha, surprising her.

With a slash he tried to eliminate her in one swing, but she dodged it. Her figure turned illusory and her movements became gentle and clear. Her sword moved at an extremely tricky angle, swift as a needle, but Rio dodged the sword.

Saisha's figure moved in a circular motion as illusions of hers appeared surrounding him. Each a mirror copy of hers, making it hard to distinguish which one was the real one.

Each of them drew their swords and attacked him at the same time, but Rio just shook his head.

'She's stronger than she was in the . But she's still just as simple.' Rio thought and attacked the illusion which was still marked by his aura earlier.

Leon had secured the token and everyone of them could use their mana now.

Leon even killed off Hermann catching him off guard by a sudden spell and was about to eliminate Jaesin too.

On Amilia's side, Rebecca and Valtor were both eliminated, and so was Elroy and Ziona too. Currently there is a fight between Amelia and Katherine vs Qingyue.

Rio had called off his aura avatar too, since he didn't think it was necessary to keep it around anymore. Though Amelia and Katherine were both hurt and tired, but so was Qingyue. And once her mana ran out and she lost the advantage of her metal magic, she was just an easy to handle girl.

The fight continued for a few more minutes before Amelia managed to drive a dagger through Qingyue's frozen body. Eliminating her too.

'They make a great team.' Rio thought as he saw Amelia smiling at him, while Katherine just stood silent, trying to recover her mana and heal her injuries.

Saisha who was constantly piling up injuries on her body, refusing to give up and get eliminated, was just dragging their match till even Jaesin died and she lost her whole team.

Her nature element was constantly providing her with healing properties and vitality, so she could keep fighting, but without any proper attack that could hurt Rio, it was all useless.

Her luck was pretty high as she seemed to read his movements and evade most of his attacks, but she herself knew it was all just delaying the inevitable.

But eventually even that luck ran out.

Before she completely lost her strength, a surprise came to her, as the notification that her team's token bearer died and she got the penalty of no elemental magic.

With this she lost the only Trump card she could still use.

"How? Everyone's here?" She asked as she looked at Rio and everyone around that area. As she said aside from these 4 here, no one was alive from any other team. contemporary romance

Rio didn't say anything, but Amelia pointed at the flying birds in the sky, which were under Rio's control.

Since the location of every token bearer was marked on the map, he just controlled these birds to go there and kill Seraphina, the holder of their class.

How did a heroine die in some simple birds hand?

Well she didn't. Not directly.

Those birds just annoyed a bunch of other monsters and led them to her place. Leading to a fight and she became a casualty on the side.

Though Saisha didn't know it, she could guess it after some thoughts.

Since she lost her elemental magic which gave her endless health recovery, she got eliminated soon too.

Nothing brutal or painful, the simple backhand sword tap on the head to trigger the elimination process.

'I should solve the elven plotlines once I'm in better control.' Rio thought as he clenched his fists to hide the shaking of his hand and terrible headache he was getting after being close to her.

Though he told himself that he played around with her to see her skills and learn about Gaia's technique, or how she's different from the plotlines and how much stronger she is - but he and his system both knew, that they were all just excuses, trying to hide the single real reason, which was that he still couldn't control neither his emotions nor those memories.
