Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain



After dealing with Lobo and his minions, Rio turned around to look for Ayla. But was surprised when he couldn't see anything there. 

He looked around in hurry and still failed to see anything, he looked back and glared at the guard "I think I told you to keep an eye on that girl. Where is she? If anything happened to her _ "

Rio was speaking, when the guard interrupted him, asking for forgiveness. 

"Ahh forgive me?" 

"Forgive you, this fu _" Rio was about to curse the man for losing the heroine, but then he heard Ayla's voice stopping him, asking if he was fine. 

He turned back and saw Ayla still standing at the same place from the beginning. 

He looked back at the guard pointing towards Ayla, thinking if she's really there, or is he imagining it , by how she just appeared out of thin air. 

The guard, understanding his confusion, informed him "She was there only. When the young master started fighting, I made another barrier around her, in case something unexpected happened." 

"But she wasn't there, just now?" Rio said. 

The guard shook his head in response, as he said " She was there. But the barrier I made obstructs one's vision, so no one below A rank can see her." 

"Saturation magic." Rio muttered. 

"Ahh yes. That's the one." The guard said, surprised that Rio could identify the magic technique he used. 

Everyone who awakened one of the 7 main elements could learn saturation magic. 

It had a simple meaning, as could be understood from its name. It can help the user saturate from the world around them. 

In simple terms, one can turn themselves invisible, by altering their element around them by using this technique.

Like how darkness mages can hide in darkness, light users can reflect the light and be imperceivable. Water mages can blend in water, while fire mages can simply blind one's eyes by utilizing heat. 

The one the guard used just now was Air saturation magic. Using the flow of air to obstruct one's vision. 

Since he said below A rank people couldn't see past it. Then that must mean he's a limit rank awakener like Myra.

As this was the limit of saturation magic, it only worked on people who were one major rank lower than you. Others can still see u plain as day. 

'Man actually has some talent, it seems.' Rio thought. 

Since learning saturation magic was considered hard even for the normal geniuses in the novel. It was quite surprising that some random guard from the villain camp knew about it. 

"What's your name?" Feeling curious about this variable he asked the man. 

"I'm Ariosh Multaza, young master. The vice Commander of Alpha squads." The guard replied with his name and position, feeling a little surprised by the sudden interest. 

'Ariosh Multaza'

'Ariosh Multazaa'

'Ari osh Mul tazan'

Rio kept thinking about his name, feeling he knew it from somewhere. But he couldn't quite put the finger on it.

 Until he broke the name in 2 and it all came together. 

A smile came to his face as he realized who this man was. 

He was right, it wasn't some random dude with a high talent that popped up in the villain camp. 

But someone very important in the novel's mid end parts. 

This new discovery surprised Rio as he couldn't believe his luck, or bad luck. 

After all, the man in front of him was actually one of the vessels. 

'Aarosh Multazam' 

'What a funny coincidence, to meet you here buddy.' 

Rio thought as he remembered the guy and his entire plotline from the novel. 

It didn't take long for him to understand why he couldn't remember the guy, or why he didn't know he was someone who was working for his family. 

'A vessel huh. This just makes things a whole lot of interesting.'

Rio thought, as he was finding it hard to control his smile. 

Ariosh kept looking at Rio who was lost in his thoughts, he kept thinking what he was probably thinking about now, but he couldn't come up with anything. 

"It was nice meeting you Ariosh. Say hello to Asher for me. Tell him to come meet me when he's free." Rio said and started walking towards Ayla, who was curiously looking around. 

"Are you okay? That bad uncle didn't hurt you right?" She asked, looking at his clothes, which were a little dirty due to all the smoke and dust he got after crashing with that aura punch. 

'Looks like he covered her vision too.' Rio thought, as he realized Ayla didn't see anything too. 

Well, this was actually better for him, as now he didn't have to explain, why he was being extra cruel to those guys. 

He already gave today's quota of good lessons to Rebecca. He didn't want a repeat of dialogues like the world works like this, or wake up to reality. 

So he just changed the topic. 

"I'm fine. You see them, they're nice people who work for my mother. So they saved me." Rio said, while pointing at the guards who silently stood around him. 

"Ohh" Ayla nodded her head, with a smile. "You know just now, I couldn't see anything for a while, I thought I was going blind, but then with _ "

Ayla was explaining how while she was looking outside, suddenly everything just turned white and she couldn't see anything. While Rio just kept nodding his head to her storytelling. 

"Told you he'd be fine." Esme said, while coming outside. 

"He still got punched, didn't he?" Myra said, as she walked beside her, while supporting a middle aged man to walk alongside her. 

"If guards didn't come to help him, he would've been beaten more too." She finished her words glancing at Rio. 

"Come on, man was using aura, that doesn't count." 

"Then you should've told me that before you placed the bet." Myra said, shutting all the argument with

Hearing their argument Rio had a deadpan expression on his face, questioning if this is how his bodyguards should talk. 

'And even placing bets on my beatdown. Tsk'

'I should really let some tragedies happen to them, so they can learn to respect the master'

With that thought, a smirk came to his face, as his mind started going through their plotlines again, choosing a perfect playful dungeon event for them. 

'That one will definitely do the job. Hahhaha wonder what their faces will be like, after that's finished' he thought with a devilish grin.

There was one particular dungeon in mind that he knew would give them a run for their money. He couldn't help but praise the author in his head for making that weird dungeon. 

Esme and Myra, who were busy in their talks, suddenly had a chill run down their spine, feeling that the air around them was getting quite cold for some reason.

A/N - yupp, those who do not respect the hierarchy, must be punished. 

Also what do u think vessels are? Quite obvious from the term, but who are they for? Whom will they hold?
