Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

"Where is that book now? And who else knows about my connection with that God?" Francius asked again.

"I don't know where that book is now. But I can assure you that no one but me knows about you. As no one but me had read that book." Rio said and the tension on Francius's face visibly relaxed.

"Tell me about the checkpoints and teleportation zones you found or left on various towers." Rio asked and smiled as he noticed Francius furrowing his brows in displeasure.

But after some time of thinking, he just gave Rio a list of locations and coordinates of every secret safe place and jump points he had found in the towers he had been.

These little tricks are what helped Leon in the mid stages in full swing. When he just roamed the towers like his papa's playground. But now. Hehehe.

"Where is the guy who woke me up? What happened to him?" Francius asked the important question, as his life now was almost half linked with Leon. To survive and replenish himself he needed to constantly consume Leon's mana and soul power. So knowing if the boy in front of him had killed him or not is very important.

"I'm the one who awakened you_"

"not possible_"

Francius wanted to call it a lie, when Rio continued his words. "Using someone else's blood as you can guess. It's not really that hard when all I need to do is just throw a drop of blood from a lucky person on a rusty old ring. You should've thought of some other safe measures."

"Those methods would've been lost in history. And I would've been forever sealed if I did that." Francius said and shook his head.

"That's also true." Rio nodded his head in approval. After all, who can remember complex rituals for nearly centuries. "As for where that guy is now. I have no idea. I just used his blood the way it was written in the book and here we are." Rio said and couldn't help but add the tip with a smile "But I'm sure he'll be cursing your ass for years after suffering the backlash and paying the price of waking you up."

"He'll be fine. I have dozens of methods to make him get back everything that he lost." Francius said with confidence. "It's his honor to have me on his side."

"My turn now. Tell me the method of awakening Myorbaksh." Rio said and hearing it the color drained by the old man's face.

"I can't do that. You can ask me anything else." Francius said in a stern tone.

"I know the place where your granddaughter is buried, Francius. Just tell me the method and I'll fulfill your long cherished wish. That's my promise."

"Why should I trust you?"

"You have no other choice, old man." Rio said and added "Either you tell me that willingly, OR I whip it out of you after beating you to certain death and doing a soul search. In any case I'll get what I want. The choice is yours."

"Not much of it." Francius frowned. And said "Before I tell you how to awaken him. Tell me first, how much do you know about him?"

"Whatever you read in some old history books is nothing compared to what the real him can do. Cause whoever met his real self isn't left alive to write and tell stories about it." Francius said with a thoughtful serious expression. "If he's to be roamed free, the first one to die under his rampage will be you who let him out. Do you still wanna know?"

"Wow, what a load of bullshit. You really do have a talent for it, don't you?" Rio said and shook his head.

"Whoever shall set me free, thou can have the legacy of leviathans. For their names shall be echoed in the darkness of night and dawn of the light."

Francius lost his previous serious composure and his face turned dirty like someone just poured a pile of shit in his throat, as Rio's words continued.

"Isn't that the prophecy of Myorbaksh, or did I translate it wrong?"

"Now stop playing games and tell me the method to wake him up."

"I can only pass it on to you." Francius said before pointing his finger at Rio's forehead, "Before you ask, it's a safety prerequisite. The words of it can't be spoken, written, shared or shown. That's why I can only give you a piece of my memories directly."

Hearing his words Rio hesitated for a little, as in the since this guy was basically living inside leon, their conversations were always soul based lines written normally on paper. It could be true as he never did tell Leon about any of this, but Leon learned it on his own when the old man possessed his body during a fight against some villains and they ended up sharing their memories.

'System, if this guy tries to capture my body or mind, or thinks about hijacking my control and killing me, I can still be fine to rely on you, right?' Rio decided to ask his system just to be safe.lights

Rio's system, as if it got reminded of some terrible nightmare, shivered in fright. The images of that overpowered chained man and the Queen with her army came into its mind scaring it to death again.

[You_you'll be fine.] System said in some serious tone while adding (even if I don't make any moves.) in its mind.

Hearing the affirmation Rio nodded his head and let Francius pass on his memories to him. In Rio's mind, images of a broken down temple made in the middle of a wasteland of a battlefield appeared. Where the sky rained blood and the ground was littered in flames and fossils. Though no one alive was visible in that vision, yet screams of agony echoed inside that temple.

Rio looked ahead at an altar floating in the middle of that temple, while 12 long pillars were standing around that statue. All those pillars were supported on the dead bodies of 12 supremes from the ancient races. - Gods, Demons, Ethereals, Celestials, Archons, Titans, Giants, Angels, Nephilims, Elementals, Dragons and Fiends.

Just their images pouring in his brain caused Rio to suffer a backlash so strong that the system had to come forward to save him.

[Memory sealed until the host is strong enough to witness it.]

[System warns host to be careful of actions like these which can cause greater damage to his psyche without proper strength to handle it.]

In Rio's hands appeared a top grade healing potion as blood was pouring out his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

With trembling hands Rio just took the potion in one gulp and breathed heavily as it started taking effect.

'Thanks buddy' Rio said to the system and brought the chain of soul striker out and threw it on the old man's soul body.

Hearing the screams when the oldie was writhing in hellfire, Rio finally found some solace again.

"I_ just _did what_you asked." Francius said slowly, as the light on his soul started getting dimmer.

"Knowing it would kill me. You bastard." Rio spat out after finally feeling a little better.

"Time's over, old man. I got everything I want." Rio said looking at Francius's trembling illusory form which was getting harder for him to maintain.

"Let me go now. You promised."

"And I lied." Rio said, watching as he saw Francius's soul getting pulled back into the iron ring on his hand.

"Y_you_bas_" The old man's words cut short as he got pulled in before his magic formation he made all this time, could get triggered and teleport him out.

[This is my domain dumb grandpa. No one leaves without my permission.]

Before he completely lost consciousness he seemed to hear someone's voice mocking his magic and methods, but he couldn't focus clearly.

[Timer for system space's realization ends. Removing the domain of limitations.]

[Next use would require ten times the amount of points. Unless you update the system to level 2.]

Once the domain of the system was pulled off, Rio was barraged with dozens of messages from Loki and Hela, who were waiting for his end of the deal.

'System, teleport me to Hela's temple. Let's sacrifice this old man and get it over with.'
