Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain-Chapter 256 Blackwood family - champions of mystic isles

Heath and Moksh arrived there just behind Vanessa too. While Heath started running towards Rio to fight him. Moksh looked at Leon lost in thought and jumped in his direction with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Go and help Zirrix." Moksh ordered the rest of his team through a sound spell and entered the circle of token bearer.

Leon was just staring at Rio who walked out of those high intensity flames without even a single scratch or burn mark. Even his clothes and appearance were clean and not affected by any fire or smoke.

His surprise turned to shock again as he watched Rio use that hellfire again and eliminate Vanessa in seconds.

[Watch out]

When he was lost in his thoughts thinking if he could survive or fare any better against that spell, when Apollo's words of warning came to his ears. Along with the foreboding sense of danger from his back.

Without wasting any time Leon directly jumped to the side, dodging the attack from Moksh by a hair's breadth.

Leon rolled on the ground twice and looked at the ground beside him where a crater was formed, as if the ground was split in two with that attack.

'Moksh Blackwood' Leon muttered as he looked at the man who attacked him.

'So he's not all luck' Moksh thought as he saw Leon dodging his attack.

Even though he didn't take Leon seriously, but he still did use 7 points of his strength in that attack since Leon managed to get first rank against him in the entrance exams.

Blackwood family is one of the strongest elite families of the human domain. They also had their own free guild called 'Dusken Blades' . They're also called 'Champions of Mystic Isles'. A treacherous territory of great dangers and mystery. 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝑤𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝑚

The Blackwood family is the one who has cleared the trials of those islands this time and holds the ownership of them.

(Trials for Mystic Isles open for every 25 years. And every major force from every race can compete to clear them. According to the rules set by the world powers, whoever clears the trials will hold their ownership till the next trial begins.)

Moksh looked at Leon and adjusted his stance and readied the magic wand in his hand. As he started chanting some spells in his heart and magic circle made with intricate patterns and various symbols and colors appeared in the air. Gathering and floating in front of him and back.

"Let's see if you really deserve your rank." Moksh said, as all the magic circles moved in a straight line and banded one over another. Creating a barrage similar to a large gun or rocket. Mixed with various parts, shining brightly.

'He's strong' Leon thought as he noticed Moksh taking the fight seriously from the get go.

For a second, Leon felt weird seeing this , as whenever he fought with someone before, they would start talking or taunting him first and then he would beat them and show his strength.

But looking at Moksh it seemed he won't get a chance to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger.

'I'll just beat you , if I can't beat him.' Leon thought as he looked at Moksh. Hoping to take the anger of Rio out on him. He flared his mana, getting ready to use his ultimate spell and end this match instantly too.

His whole body started glowing in light, as the sun in the sky seemed to shine brighter just for him.

But just when he was in full swing to show off, he suddenly felt a sharp pain that ran through his body, making him cold all over.

Instantly his body and blood which was warming up due to the spell of 'Solar Stream' froze and calmed down.

???

Looking at his freezing body, where thin layers of ice formed over his hands and feet, a black line formed over Leon's forehead and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Looking back in the direction which gave him the chills, he saw Rio was actually standing beside an ice sculpture.

After a few seconds, Leon realized it wasn't any sculpture but Heath, whose body had been frozen on spot.

Seeing the slight bumps on his back, Leon could see, it happened so fast that the poor dragon halfling didn't even have the time to transform or show his full might yet.

'How did he do that?' Leon thought and turned to looked at his own opponent, Moksh.

And he saw… … nothing.

There was no Moksh, or Zirrix who was hanging through a tree, or his 3 or 4 other teammates who came to free him.

'He killed them all… .. So soon' Leon thought as he didn't see anyone there.

-shatter-

The shattering sound brought Leon back to his senses. Looking back he noticed, Heath was struggling under the ice.

A tiny golden glow started to shine under all that ice, giving it a beautiful glow. And soon the heat from the golden energy melted the ice over Heath's handsome face.

"It's not over." Heath said as his hands turned into claws and the small bumps of horns over his forehead, which were usually covered by the layers of long hair, parted sideways. As his blue horns grew larger.

"My turn" Heath said, and Leon heard him chanting a spell in dragon tongue. A language said to be inherently correlated to mana and magic.

Over Heath's head formed a whirlpool of air, as the mana in the air gathered over his body, destroying all the ice that trapped him to the ground.

Leon was surprised to see such fine control over surrounding mana. He now understood why dragon race is considered one of the strongest races on Arcadia.

Just some simple words of theirs can control all mana, and this was only when they used their bloodline powers.

Once any dragon reached S rank and awakened their domain, Leon couldn't imagine how anyone would be able to fight with them at that time.

Yet soon enough a scene, even more surprising than this one appeared next.

Leon saw a smile on Rio's face, and next with the sound of snapping fingers, he was horrified to see that all the violent mana that gathered around Heath turned into a steady stream and flew towards Rio, who consumed all of it like it was no big deal.

"You're right. It wasn't over then, but it's over now." Rio said and punched out with his hands.

A phantom of fist appeared in air and kept enlarging in size the more time and distance it passed. Until it finally landed on Heath's figure who was standing there stupidly.

(Heath eliminated too.)

Leon took a long breath, as the scene from earlier started playing in slow motion in his mind. Leon knew each of the ranker's strength, and the fact that 3 of them got eliminated in just one move made him doubt the reality of this situation.

"Wake me, when someone else comes."

While Leon was lost in thoughts, Rio's voice came to his ears again. As he saw the few tree roots giving way to Rio and creating another chair for him to sit upon.

Seeing Rio sitting in the sky with the relaxed expression, Leon only had a feeling that he lost something again. Yet he couldn't understand what, how or why?
