Chapter 260 Heroes and Villains  

"Come on. Atleast fight me seriously." Rubina said while huffing loudly. Her hands resting on her knees.

It's been a while since she started fighting against Rio, yet all he has been doing is just passively blocking or avoiding her moves. At best, sometimes he'll just try to imitate her moves and see if he can copy them and learn how she blocks them too - but that's about all. Not once he took this fight seriously.

She was the only one fighting against him, as Damon who was tossed around here and there countless times, finally couldn't take it anymore, and few minutes ago when Rio slapped him out again, he directly disappeared and didn't wake up again.

Originally after losing their token for more then 5 minutes, her class should've been eliminated. But Rio hanged the student who was their next token bearer to a tree and bound the token to his feet.

Now although the penalty of theirs was lifted, but they still couldn't run away or avoid conflict. So they can just bite the bullet and continue fighting.

Rubina's other classmates also came there following the location marked on their watches, but other then Lincoln and Lucille who were still fighting with Leon, everyone else was eliminated by Rio as soon as he saw them.

Leon who was trapped in the circle as game rules indicated had to constantly deal with not one but two top rankers.

Lincoln Korbil was just a stepping stone villain of the original . On paper, he was related to the Count rank noble family of Klishto city. But Lincoln's character was slapped in the face every time he appeared on chapters.

This guy was the main antagonist alongside Edward, responsible for crippling Leon 8 years ago during his awakening.

For a second, Rio wanted to deal with this villain, so Leon doesn't show off. But then he let it be.

After all, these kind of idiots needs to be villainised so our protagonist can create more troubles and more enemies to slap and slay.

Since Rio didn't want to toy around Leon himself, why not let these idiots always create problems for him. As for the chance that Leon might get something good out of these conflicts. Humph, who can say that for sure.

Originally Leon who was on equal strength with Lucille, was supposed to be on losing side with the extra arrival of Lincoln. But his halo shined, and somehow when he saw Lincoln again, along with his past hatred, his power also grew. And he was able to hold off both of his opponents and sometimes even getting an upper hand.

But how can Rio let him kill his opponents easily. So every time, Leon was about to lend a serious injury on anyone, a misguided spell or some failed attack or some monster or person, would suddenly be thrown at him. Saving his enemies or distracting him.

And Leon could just grit his teeth and try again.

As for asking Rio to pay attention or any explanation. Sorry. Better not do it.

Cause when he did, the next time those misfired spells or attacks missed their target, they ended up hitting him directly harder instead.

"You have a technique similar to mine, right?" Rubina asked again as she charged at him in serpentine motion in zig zag pattern. As bursts of aura followed her steps and her speed increased even more.

"I've seen you use that in training rooms and spars. Why don't you use that instead of copying me?" Rubina asked, talking about Rio's Druidic Dance technique. In essence that technique is similar to the art Rubina's primitive tribe created after watching animals and living in forests all their life.

But as the reason of any protagonist's chance is, Rio's technique is still more refined and awesome.

As for him performing it in open training rooms, well he doesn't have many merit points to spare for always booking VIP facilities. So when he trained in those techniques, Rubina 'just happened' to see him.

"If you're itching for it so much, I don't mind killing you." Rio said with a smile and next moment his eyes turned sharp and Rubina felt like she was marked as pray by some fierce beast. Before she could come to her senses, she felt a presence behind her, turning around she swiped her feet in a kicking motion, as well as stabbing the knife in her hands backwards in instict.

Thinking to stab him once he lost his balance after the kick.

but what she hit with her knife wasn't her opponents body, but empty air. While her leg felt like it just hit a wall.

Feeling the stinging pain in her feet, she jumped back.

But followed by her movements was a kick that sent her body crashing onto the nearby tree trunks.

Spewing a mouthful of blood, she forced herself to stand again, but the color on her body was already glowing in amber. In just one kick, her health which was still around 60% dropped below 20%. "Was that enough?" Rio said, as he dusted his clothes, removing stains of Rubina's shoes.

"That's it." Rubina said as she forced herself to stand up and smile as she wiped the blood from her lips. It had to be said, this barbaric tribal girl was quite fierce and cruel to herself.

Rio watched as Rubina used some kind of secret technique or something which could boost her strength, but he didn't plant to interrupt her.

-trrrrcrrrr

He was planning to play around with Rubina again, when he felt tremors in the ground below, and looked in the direction of forest.

His eyes shone in silver as he looked at the resless birds flying in the air. Like they were running from something.

As moments passed the tremors on the ground grew more and more clear, and everyone else could feel them too.

When he was coming to find Leon after dealing with the sea monsters at the beginning, he had controlled a few small birds he came across and let them fly here and there.

He just wanted to keep an eye out if something unexpected happened, and now those little birdies played their role.

'Idiot' Rio thought as his eyes followed the bird's eyes' views on the entire forest and he saw who was responsible for this situation.

He saw in one direction where Rebecca, Amaya and Edward were coming towards his direction, while following behind them was an entire nest of monsters, and the students of class A-5.

While on the other hand, Amelia, Katherine and Valtor were leading the enraged Grunter towards him.

Rio recognized the overgrown ape at a glance, but he didn't know why Amelia needed to run away from it. Until he controlled the bird to fly down and saw the situation clearly.

He noticed green vines wrapped around the Grunter's hat tightly. Almost crushing his skull in their grip.

But that wasn't all, on the shoulder of this enraged beast, he noticed a figure standing straight.

A girl with a calm expression and white hair flowing with the wind.

She raised her eyes and looked at the flying bird for some time and then waved her hands. magic

'Saisha' Rio thought in his heart, as he felt a little headache when his connection with the bird was cut off forcefully.

'So she's here.'
