Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

Chapter 306 Guns and gods

As Shiva's figure suddenly became visible to all, the various fights came to halt for a second as everyone took notice of his presence. Seeing which side had gotten their reinforcements already.

But after waiting for a few seconds when no one else appeared, the fights continued. Since he had no hood covering his face or body, the Nishkal family guard didn't attack him. Thinking he was some guest or someone else, but not their enemy.

But the members of evil's scion who were guarding the teleportation circle sent one of their trainees forward to kill him. Not willing to take any chance, as they couldn't sense his mana or aura at all.

He looked just like a normal unawakened mortal, but with how he appeared no one would believe that, so the answer was clear. A treasure or technique that can cover his body and energy signature.

The trainee villain with a sword, had taken just two steps forward when the sound of a gunshot echoed in the surroundings, and the talented trainee running towards him fell down to the floor, with a bleeding head and a bullet hole piercing his skull. The leaking blood formed a pool near his body in seconds which after a few seconds of struggle lay there lifeless.

'Hmm so the system didn't lie, huh.' Shiva said as he played with the pistol in his hands and pointed it at the other hooded figure at the side and fired it again.

Seeing the previous scene, the trainee this time didn't bet his life on the defensive runes of the cloak he wore and chanted a spell that made a transparent shield covering his body.

But to his horror, he watched as the silver bullet passed through his shield as if passing through air.

He tried to dodge but due to the less time he got left, the bullet ended up hitting his neck instead of his head, and he fell down to the floor too. Slowly bleeding to his death.

With two deaths the members of the evil's scion finally took notice of the weird gun this unknown assailant was holding in his hands. The pistol looked simple, just like any other gun model they've seen in some dungeons and towers or outside markets, but its effects were extraordinary.

'An artifact that can ignore defenses, and has a sure hit shot too. Interesting.' The hooded figure, beside the portal thought and smiled sinisterly.

Instead of sending any trainees to fight, this time he went ahead himself.

"Start the transmission for the next batch. Looks like this fight will last a little longer." He said to his partner as he tossed him the key to operate the teleportation circle.

"I lack a long range attack artifact, a gun would suit me just fine." He said and walked off with slow steps.

Shiva wanted to kill another member of Evil's scion for his quest, but before he could fire the gun, he noticed someone appearing behind him using the space element, and he directly jumped away, before shooting three bullets backwards without looking. But sadly all of them only ended up hitting the air.

'Tsk I'm getting rusty with a gun.' Shiva thought as he couldn't believe he missed three expensive bullets on an idiot.

"You can dodge that, that means you're over C rank. Probably at B." The hooded figure said and pulled his sword back. "Let's see if you can dodge this one." He said and disappeared again.

Shiva watched as suddenly a barrage of swords appeared all around him, as if he was standing at the center of a hurricane made out of blades. He could hear the whistling sound of air as the moving blades cut through air and came closer to his body.

Scoffing at this poor display of power, he just snapped his fingers and the space seemed to freeze all around him. The blades that were about to stab him, froze and kept hanging in the air.

"Play games with me, and you won't live to regret it." As Shiva's words finished, all the blades turned their directions and pointed themselves at the hooded man's face.

With another snap of his fingers they became free and moved forward to kill him instead.

The hooded man smiled and disappeared from his place again before anything could hit him.

He created illusions of himself that appeared all around Shiva and used the similar sword slash coated in space element through everyone, making it hard to realize where the blade ended and normal space began, or was there even any blade present at all in the first place.

All his illusions looked entirely similar to each other, down to the last minute detail and it was hard to determine which was real and which was fake.

But Shiva didn't have any confusion, with his system bought skill True Eyes at level 3, he could see through these illusions as easy as day.

So before any sword could hit him, he turned around and pointed his gun upwards and fired a shot in empty air.

The bullet seemed to cut through a barrier of space, and hit something, as drops of blood fell over Shiva's face.

"Told you to take it seriously." Shiva said as he pointed the gun at the hooded man who fell on his knees in front of him. "Say hello to death for me." Shiva said, pointing his gun at the man's head.

But before he could shoot the villain, a projectile attack's shadow covered the sky behind him.

Shiva turned his head to see the projection of a fist coming his way, as his body started feeling the pressure that the strike brought him even from a distance.

He snapped his fingers and the space between him and that growing ethereal fist froze instantly, but soon with a cracking sound similar to a glass breaking, the fist loosed its restraints and came towards him again.

'Limit rankers sure are scary.' Shiva thought and sighed, as he paid his system another sum of money to teleport him out of harm's way.

Darius and Melanthe, the two people who were previously fighting with the leader of Evil's scion turned back in surprise too as they noticed their enemy leaving them and rushing away from the fight.

The Limit ranked villain appeared near the hooded man who was fighting with Shiva, and slapped him in the back of his head. "Stop playing around." He muttered, as he spread his mana all around the rooftop, yet failed to find any trace of Shiva.

[Behind you.]

A notification suddenly jolted him up as he turned back and raised his hand coated in aura, just in time to block the incoming sniper bullet that was about to pierce his head.

[Be careful, he's crafty.] Another notification came to his ears, and he finally realized the danger of this unknown guy. No sign of his could be detected by him and in a fight like this, that was a bad thing.

'Who is he?' He asked his God as he waved his hand and held the dented silver bullet in his hand.

It had some carvings made on it which he couldn't understand, and he was sure the touch and sense of energy he felt from the metal of the bullet, wasn't something that was originally found on Arcadia.

'A tower artifact, or something that is made from the metal found in any tower.' He thought and stored the bullet in his ring.

'Can you find him?' He said to his God, as he started fighting with Darius and Melanthe again, but his focus remained distracted. He couldn't sense the guy and the bullets seemed to pass through any magic sense and defense, making it hard to trace and predict, causing his nerves to always be distracted.

[It would cost ya.]

Reading the message from his God the hooded man hesitated for a second, but then noticed another two trainees had died and fell down with a hole in their heads.

'I'll pay whatever you want. Trace him.' The hooded man said, since this invisible assistant was far too dangerous to ignore.

[Shut your mana sense and spread your aura. Don't look for the signs of living, but the signs of dead. Channel my blessing and trace the scent of blood. Aura of a killer.] The mysterious God spoke instructions one by one helping his follower.

'Found you, little rat.' The hooded man followed his God's orders and soon found the abnormality.

He smirked like a villain, who had the victory in hand, but before his smirk formed into a cruel curl up smile, he felt something stab him in the lungs.

-Urghhh

Throwing up a mouthful of blood, he looked below, only to find a sword stabbed in his stomach.

Using his mana he pushed his body forward and run away a little, but he heard a familiar sound of snapping fingers and felt the space freeze all around him.

"Never trust a God." Shiva said as he pressed the pistol over his frozen head, and under the horrified eyes of the hooded villain, pulled the trigger.

Bangg

The sound rang and a few drops of blood splattered on shiva's face, marking his clean and clear appearance with the signs of battle.

"Easy peasy." Shiva said, as he raised his hand to grab the falled body of the villain and chopped his hand where he could see a storage ring.

Throwing the bloody arm into his storage, Shiva paid another sum of points to his system to replenish his mana and breathed audibly.

[If you can't find me a better replacement within a week, I'll have my followers use the same techniques of torture we taught you.] He read the notification from the group of demons he received and smiled in silence.

'Demons really are no one's friends.' He said looking at the corpse on his feet.
