Your Not So Ordinary Villain

Chapter 404 Archangel

That served as a signal for the start of the battle. The heroes started to attack Nina and her group. Chaos ensued and the already destroyed kingdom started to suffer for the second time. Each one from Cygnus's group was facing a different hero.

Ignius was flying above them and watching the progress of the fight. He was curious as to how those heroes could win. Cygnus did the same while he was in the throne room. As usual, he had his handy holographic screen that showed him how the fight was going.

He was snuggly seated on his throne and silently observing what was happening outside. After a while, his eyes narrowed because of how boring the fight was. His people were winning at the beginning but they were suddenly being pushed back.

He tapped at the holographic screen and a magic circle appeared below the battlefield. It shined red and it caught the heroes off guard. Demons started to pour out from the gate that appeared below them after the red light disappeared. The heroes looked with wide eyes at how many demons started to attack them.

Nina smirked. He looked at those who were with her and nodded to them. Astrophos, who decided to join them, casted a wide-ranged ice magic that created a blizzard and confused the heroes. This gave the demons a chance to land their attacks on the heroes.

From the back, the woman who was a healer, raised her hands and poured out divine magic above that he condensed into small soft balls like snow and let it fell on the ground. Once these balls touched the skin of the demons, they started burning and turning into ash.

"Ah, what a very useful skill." Cygnus mumbled to himself as he watched what happened to the demons he summoned. "Nina, why don't you deal with that woman first?" He suddenly spoke into thin air but Nina's reaction was instant.

At the battlefield, Nina was busy exploding the heroes and their summoned beasts, as there was someone among them who could summon creatures, when she heard the command. She looked forward and saw the woman.

Nina blasted herself towards the healer and threw some of her bombs towards her. The purple explosives did as was expected but there was no damage on the woman. The healer was able to protect herself from the surprise attack and launch an attack of hers.

The healer sent out several golden arrows which Nina easily dodged. She twirled from side to side and made a summersault in the air to evade the attack. The golden arrows hit the ground and exploded into divine light that further reduced the numbers of the demons that were summoned.

"Nice!" Nina exclaimed as she looked back at the damage that the attack caused. "I never knew that a healer could attack like that."

"I could do even more than that." The healer raised her staff and above Nina a net made out of divine mana fell down successfully trapping her.

Nina laughed as she covered her body with a purple man to be protected from the divine net around her. Because she made a pact with the master, she was also vulnerable to any attacks with divinity in it. With the purple mana coating her, she managed to lessen the impact of the restricting power on her.

"I also have tricks hidden under my sleeves," she grinned while looking at the woman, "you'll need to pardon me for attempting to desecrate your body."

A series of purple light that formed perpendicular, horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines appeared from every direction and surrounded the healer. She was startled by it and accidently stepped back only to hit one of the lines. The line turned into an explosive and exploded on the spot.

This explosion triggered the other lines and created an even bigger explosion. It turned out that Nina didn't only set those lines around the healer. She also scattered them around the battlefield and made sure to activate them once one of the lines were triggered.

Explosions filled the whole area and it created a lot of dust cover that gave the demons and her comrades to launch an attack. This attack also successfully created confusion among the heroes because they were caught off guard. The net around Nina also disappeared and she let out a laugh.

"You know, I like using these kinds of tricks because it gives me the satisfaction of getting to see the reaction of my enemies when they get caught off guard." Nina was floating forward to where the healer was while saying those words.

A flash of gold light was suddenly shot out from behind the cloud of smoke, luckily Nina was able to evade it. She looked back at the gold light that disappeared before she smirked and launched herself forward in an incredible speed. She accurately held the woman's neck.

"You tried but you failed." Nina declared as her grip tightened around the woman's neck.

The healer suffered an injury from the attack and now she was struggling to take in air because of how tight the hand was gripping her neck. Her staff fell to the ground as she focused on getting the hand loosen but she was unsuccessful. She could already feel her strength dwindling every second.

Before Nina could even totally crush her neck, a flash of light appeared and hit her without warning. Blood started to ooze out from the wound she got from that flash of light. It passed through her right arm and it made her even step back. The dust finally disappeared and what appeared before Nina was something she hadn't encountered before.

Cygnus burst out in laughter when he saw what it was that joined the fight. It was a large entity in the form of an angel with four wings. It had a bow and arrow in its hands and it was coldly looking at Nina. Now Nina knew who it was that injured her and she did not even feel its presence.

"To be able to summon such an entity to join the battle, the gods are getting more and more generous in this fight." Cygnus mumbled to himself just as Linius entered the throne room. He did not join the fight because he was tasked to guard the entrance of the castle.

"What is that? I haven't seen something like that before." Linius asked after he stood up beside the master and his eyes were drawn to the battle that was happening.

"That is what they call an archangel that the gods raised. It's a weapon they use to punish those who go against them. I encountered one once but after that they haven't sent one to fight me." He answered while his gaze was fixed on the entity that was standing arrogantly in the battlefield. "I guess they're bringing all their archangels in this fight. Raising an archangel is not easy."

"If that's the case then, this battle might turn out as a disadvantage to us." Linius commented.

He saw how the archangel easily made the skies rain with divine arrows that instantly destroyed all the demons and simultaneously injured the men under Cygnus's command. Even the dragon in the sky was injured because of the divine arrows. These arrows did not hurt the heroes and only damaged the side of their enemy.

"Not necessarily," Cygnus waved his hand and a dark hole appeared behind Nina, "let's send one of the archdukes to deal with it."

From behind the woman, something dark appeared and it was holding a long sword on its hand. It was as large as the archangel that stood like the size of a giant. Unlike the archangel, the archduke has a pair of bat wings behind its back and it was wearing a helmet that covered its face.
