Your Not So Ordinary Villain

Chapter 400 Convinced

The demon king waited and once the once sided killing was done Cygnus finally had the time to sit and talk. He then laid down and closed his eyes. Talking with the demon king was a rare occurrence so he needed to pay attention.

"What news is it?" Cygnus asked through his mind. Although he looked like he was sleeping, he was actually talking to the demon king.

"The gods had taken an interest in you and of course at your demon contractor." The demon king answered with a smile on his face and Cygnus could already picture it.

He had never seen the demon king and would only talk to him once in a blue moon. All those times though, it was him who would contact him because there was no way for Cygnus to contact the demon king. He hummed at the information.

"That's not entirely a bad thing. But are you okay with being found out?" Cygnus asked out of the blue which made the demon king laugh.

He did not expect that question to come out from the young man's mouth. "Are you worrying about me now? I'm fine with it, I want to see their next move once they find out that I am indeed the one behind you."

Cygnus was silent for a moment after listening to the demon king. He thought that the gods were ignoring him but he was wrong. Maybe the reason why there were more and more heroes coming after him was because the gods already knew about him. He suddenly grinned at the knowledge that the gods finally noticed him.

The demon king laughed at the grin on his contractee's face. This was the reason why he decided to lend his power to the man. He was a perfect host. "You are really enjoying this."

Cygnus chuckled. "Who wouldn't. I've been waiting for this time, for those bastards to finally notice me and now it is happening."

"Will you continue on this path then?" The demon king could already guess the answer but he still wanted to hear it from the man's mouth.

"I will." His determination earned him recognition from the demon king.

After that conversation, Cygnus continued in his path of destroying everything the gods built. It became his ultimate goal. He did not stop. Worlds were conquered and at the end destroyed by his hands.

His next destination was a place where mythical creatures were living. It was a world where the mountains stretched towards the horizon. The rivers were wide and with crystal clear water flowing from it. It was teeming with underwater life. The main river branched out into different directions. It was a magnificent view as there were also prairies where different creatures were living.

Although it was a world dominated with dragons, fairies, sirens and mermaids, werewolves, vampires and others, there were still small human settlements. Each race followed a different god. Cygnus looked down at this world with a grin because he would be harvesting much.

He floated down and used magic to hide himself as he walked around. It took him days to finally grasp how the system was working in that world. The dominating race were dragons as they followed the god of war. They were the most powerful creatures in that world.

Humans and the others were afraid of them. Upon knowing this, the dragons started to assert their dominance against the other creatures. Cygnus chuckled after knowing this. Dragons were very tempting and it would be a good idea if he would have a subordinate of their caliber.

He did not do anything while he stayed there. He enjoyed watching them struggle against a power that was out of their reach. The suffering of those creatures did not bother him until a rumor reached his ear.

In the far north of that world, a single black dragon lived. According to the stories, he was an outcast that the other dragons did not want to associate with. First was because of his unusual color and what it signifies. Black was an ominous color in that place and a dragon born with it was even more dangerous.

Because it was their kin, they couldn't kill it and instead threw him in the desolate north where no plant nor animals thrived. It was barren and dark. During the nights, the cracks on the ground would glow red and orange as the magma from underneath the surface rises.

This was the main reason why nothing was able to survive in that place. The ground during the day was hot and it was even hotter during the night. For a dragon that just hatched from an egg, it would definitely not survive. And yet after years, the dragon remained alive.

It managed to come out from that place stronger than before. During his whole stay in that place, he continuously absorbed the violent mana from the magma flowing beneath the ground. It was a talent that he was born with and it manifested during its time of need.

Even so, it became even more difficult for him because all it wanted was to be with the other dragons or the other creatures. The first time it ventured beyond that desolate land, it was shunned and feared then it came to a point where he was hunted. It ran for his life and the dragons he thought that would defend him joined the hunt.

It returned to that desolate land and remained there. Even if that was the case, the other inhabitants of that world became wary of him. Cygnus couldn't help but be captivated by the story. With his mind set, the man went north towards that feared land.

The land of the north was vast but all one could see was an empty vastness. He did not even know where the dragon was. Cygnus shrugged his shoulders at that time as he started to walk around. It took him a day to finally feel the presence of the dragon that had been following him.

Noticing that the man stopped, the dragon flapped its wings and landed behind the man. It growled to warn Cygnus but he was not affected. The dragon stopped after a few growls as he transformed into its human form.

"What are you doing here human?" The dragon's voice was deep and whole. "No, you are not human." He shook his head as he was assessing the man.

Cygnus turned around and faced the dragon. The dragon has deep black eyes and midnight hair that reached his neck. Even his skin wasn't pale like the other creatures he saw, he was a bit tanned. He was practically not wearing anything except for a dark pair of pants.

"I came to take a look at the infamous black dragon they were all talking about." Cygnus placed his hands behind his back and stood straight while looking at the human form of the dragon.

The dragon narrowed his eyes at the person in front of him before he smirked. "You aren't from here. I knew everyone outside of this desolate place. Who are you and why do I smell a curse coming from you?"

The dragon was not in the mood to answer the man. He was more interested in giving out the questions. The dragon started to observe the person in front of him. He even had the courage to get near him and float around him.

"Now, I am sure. You smell like those filthy demons that started to appear in these plains." The dragon floated back with that statement.

Cygnus grinned. "I didn't know that dragons are like dogs." He tilted his head to the side as his grin widened.

"Don't compare me to those lesser beings!" The dragon roared. He launched a wave of fire that could melt even metal towards Cygnus but the man was unmoved.

Cygnus raised his hand and sliced down at the wave of fire. It dissipated and only the smoke was proof that he was attacked. The dragon was astonished but he did not show it on his face. The man was not ordinary.

"I'm sure that he is angry right now because you are comparing him to those lowly demons who only knew how to mess around." Cygnus retracted his hand and looked at his palm and then at the back of his hand to make sure that no dirt was on it.

The black dragon had no comment regarding the man's statement. Instead, he floated back a bit more. He wanted to maintain the distance between them. After that attack that he did, he could already grasp the difference in their power.

"Where are you going?" Cygnus appeared behind the dragon. He did not even feel the man's presence.

"What do you want?" The dragon did not try to run because he already knew that he couldn't get away from the man.

"I heard that you are an outcast and I just so happened to be looking for a companion that will join me in my adventure," Cygnus answered before he leaned a bit towards the dragon's ears, "I could even help you kill all those who shunned and hunted you."

There was silence as the dragon started to consider the other's offer. It was very tempting as he couldn't contain the anger in his heart anymore. Thinking of those days that he was shunned and nearly died because of how he looked, his fists clenched tightly.
