Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain-Chapter 253 Killing monsters and monkeys

Diving down the sea using his new skill, Rio moved towards the shining eye, the closer he got the more he felt pulled towards the Gazer. The hypnotic effects of this creature was no joke, and it could easily solve the awakeners of C rank and below. Though the virtual reality test might've toned down the strength of these monsters a bit, but the overall effects of that drop down in skills would still affect the students more.

As the creatures weren't real and just chunks of data, they weren't gonna make mistakes cause they felt uncomfortable with their current state. If anything these monsters didn't feel anything and only acted based on fixed details, and they were all perfect. On the other hand, students who couldn't get a clear understanding of their new strength, were prone to make more mistakes.

Rio's straight slide stopped when he noticed the tail of Gazer coming towards his direction. Getting hit by that or even scratched by that was a sure death, as either he would be pierced, or his body would be paralyzed and sucked into Gazer's mouth - so the moment he noticed the movement of water beside him, he halted his flow and changed direction.

He watched as a sharp slash got created in the water in front of him. The tail or a tentacle, whatever you call it, moved past him at high speed. Rio slashed his sword the moment it came into his view, he wanted to cut it in two pieces in one strike, but due to the resistance of water and the Gazer's reaction speed, he only managed to leave a cut on it. The green blood left its tail and floated outwards in the sea as if it was some oil or something.

"Tsk" Rio clicked his tongue and pushed his body towards the downside, where he could now see Gazer's mouth and shark-like teeth covering his skin.

The mouth of Gazer was in the middle of its pupil, which was really weird and scary to look at. But ignoring the disgust, Rio kept slashing his sword, sending streaks of lights hitting the eye. Even though the skin of Gazer wasn't tough but it had self healing abilities and every attack he landed was healed next instant.

But Rio didn't stop and kept doing that while dodging the tail attacks from both the monsters. Not in mood to stay here any longer, he released his aura avatar and sent it to hold back the wyrm.

When the next time the tail came to hit him, Rio bent his body to the side, while using a barrier cover himself. The blow of that tail sent him hurtling towards the creature's mouth, who opened it wide open to eat his prey, yet the moment when Rio was about to fall down, he smiled and threw his ice sword with both his hands towards the monster's mouth. Using the element of water to give it proper direction, he made sure it fixed itself into the jaws of Gazer.

"Let's end it now.", Rio said, as he chanted a spell in his mind and threw the black ball of flame that appeared in his hand into the open mouth of Gazer.

Even underwater, the hellfire burned brighter and soon the roars of Gazer echoed in the sea. The screams of pain increased several folds when the hellfire came into contact with nether sword mana, left in the eye by Rio's sword slashes and in seconds it covered the entirety of the eye. Burning it completely.

The tail of Gazer kept hitting around the water for some time even after the monster's mouth was burned to cinders , but then it died down too.

Rio looked upwards at the wyrm who was getting toyed around with his avatar. After all, the shadow manifestation could dodge or parry all the attacks and the effects of drowning and getting pressured underwater vortex was no threat to the avatar - "Kill him" Rio gave a mental command to his avatar, and in just next few seconds the wyrm was severed in several pieces and dying the entire are blue.

He looked at the Wyrm's body which disappeared in tiny particles and in its place was a blue dagger left floating. Taking it in his hands, he slashed it a few times in the water and noticed it was one of the artifacts the professor talked about. It released an arc of water slash every time he swung it using mana. Feeling satisfied with it, he took it and kept it. After all, his sword was broken in his fight with the first wyrm and even for the Gazer, he needed to create swords of ice to attack him. This one just came at the perfect time.

Rio dispersed the aura avatar and used the skill to move out of this water. Once he was out he used the light magic to vaporize all the water on his body and clean himself from any blood or other stuff.

Taking a look at his watch, these monsters had wasted over a minute of time for him. Looking at his watch, he noticed 2 of his teammates were already dead. By no surprise it was Pshinta and Ryosuke. After all, they were the weakest of the bunch and it was clear they'd die first if they met anyone else. He looked at the a green dot in a small circle on the map and turned his face there. That was Leon's position, the Token Bearer.

Covering his feet in mana, Rio ran over the water, moving in that direction. From how much the dot moved here and there on the watch, he guessee Leon was probably fighting with someone right now.

'Should I kill him and call it a misfire?' Rio thought and increased his speed.

[Won't that be too anti-climatic.] System said to him. After all, this was the last VR test and once he killed Leon that would be game over for him for today.

'You're right. Let's make him suffer a bit first.' Rio said and started running in the forest. Jumping from one tree to another, his feet didn't even touch the ground as he kept moving forward. It didn't take long for him, when he could hear the sound of fighting from the front. Surprisingly he also came across a bow artifact on his way. As these things were all spread all over the area, he grabbed it since he found it. He didn't find any other teams or students in the vicinity, so he couldn't kill them.

He stopped on a tree branch as he noticed the fight ahead. Currently Leon was fighting with 4 people from A-4 class. No one was strong enough to beat him, but they still challenged him as one of them was the idiot monkey - Zirrix Drakkar.

Looking at him, Rio remembered something Loki told him a few days ago, about beating the pride of that monkey god and so he decided to do just that. Not just to get Loki, but because he could see, slowly but surely Leon was getting the advantage in this fight. And if no one interfered he would win this fight in the next few minutes.

"Call it your bad luck, Zirrix. But can't really let you be a pawn that shows off the strength of Leon." Rio said in his heart and nocked an arrow on his bowstring. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Well it wasn't much of an arrow, but more like a tree branch he broke from the side. But using his wind element, he cut it from some places and made it sharper and simpler.

Taking aim, he looked at Leon and let go of his fingers. The arrow which left his hands, soob broke in 3, and they all moved forwards in different angles.

-kach kach kach-

The wooden arrows hit the 3 students besides Zirrix and Leon, and eliminated all of them instantly.

He picked up another arrow and shot it towards Zirrix after chanting a spell to boost its effects. Zirrix used the metal staff in his hands to block it. The staff was an artifact he picked up along the way, so it managed to stop the arrow's path, but before he took a calm breath and smiled, the back of the arrow blinked in red a few times and then created a loud blast, creating a big crater in the ground and destroying the nearby trees.

Zirrix, who got thrown away by the shockwave, coughed a few times and looked at the side, where he noticed he saw Leon, who was in a similar situation.

Yet he noticed between both of them was now a white circle line drawn, showing he was thrown out of the area, where Leon had to stay.

Before Zirrix could stand up, another arrow greeted him. One which landed directly between his legs and started blinking.

Seeing that Zirrix nearly lost his composure and shouted curses out loud, when another explosion drowned those words.
