Stone Mage: Revenge of the Villain System

Belladonna looked at what she had just done with wide blue eyes.

There was chaos and destruction everywhere. What’s more was that many men, women, adults, and children…

Were hurting because of her.

“B-Brother, I…. I didn’t mean for this to happen….” She stammered. “I really didn’t…..”

“Oh to the Abyss with you, sister. You didn’t mean for this to happen?” Zeuxis stood up with his broken arm and walked towards her.

“You had those balls of ice follow after us. That was very clear. How can that be not intentional?”

Duke Taevas also sustained some wounds on his face. But he did not mind it at all and went to help his daughter up.

“Zeuxis, enough. This was all your fault.”

“All his fault?” A nobleman interrupted. “Your son just introduced a fun game to us, and your daughter suddenly attacked us for it. How is that any of his fault, Taevas?”

The hurting crowd mumbled in agreement, taking Zeuxis’ side in this argument.

‘Oh, great. Now Zeuxis’ head will inflate with ego from these stupid aristocrats.’ Ronin rolled his eyes.

He can now move a little though his head still ached like hell. He also went to protect Belladonna like his father, placing a hand on her shoulder._.

“All of you, be quiet! I have warned you several times, haven’t I?” Duke Taevas exclaimed with his cerulean sword gleaming. “And yet, you didn’t listen.”

“You didn’t warn us, you just told us that your daughter was powerful, and she was not to be made emotional. How are we supposed to know that was not exaggerated praise of a father towards his child!?”

“If you truly wanted to warn us, you could have told us that the girl is a monster that could terrorize us all!”

Belladonna became tearful again. “I-I’m not a monster. S-Sorry, everyone…”

“An apology would not take away the damages done to my son!” A noble lady cried. “Look at what you had done to his face!”

“And to my nose!”

“You broke my back!”

“A doctor won’t be able to fix this, freakish girl!”

The crowd became angry and bombarded Belladonna with hurtful words. But since she didn’t want to hurt anyone again, she tried to calm herself by following Cholie’s advice.

“Deep breaths, deep breaths, deep breaths, deep breaths…..” She told herself.

“ENOUGH! Stop further agitating my daughter!” Duke Taevas yelled. “GET OUT!”

But the people wouldn’t listen. “We’re not getting out until these crimes were paid for, Taevas!”

“She is far too dangerous. She needs to be locked up in the dungeons to not bring any further damages like this!”

Ronin heard Zeuxis’ ecstatic thoughts. (They’re going to lock her up! Sweet! Lock her up forever!)

Duke Taevas was disgusted by this notion. “You want to bring a 5-year-old girl to jail!??? What is wrong with you all!???”

“She’s no ordinary girl!” Zeuxis further fueled their irrationality and anger. “She’s a monster! Get her!”

And so came a flurry of people going towards to capture Belladonna, raising all kinds of weapons, and Mage Focus towards the tiny little girl!

Ronin rolled his eyes. ‘They have all gone insane.’

He then heard a ding! at the back of his head, and came a holographic screen.

[A new mission came to Cermin Drychspiel. His mission was:

Protect Belladonna Zafeiri from the angry mob and gain her favor.

Hero Points equivalent: 1,000 ]

‘1000 H-points just for one mission. That means it’s a really major one.’ Ronin thought.

[If you managed to make him fail this mission, 50-100% of the H-points will be transferred as V-points to you depending on performance.]

’50-100%! Nice!’ Ronin grinned ecstatically on his head, but maintained a grim expression.

This would be very easy for him, because he can hear the hiding Cermin’s thoughts among many others…

That little golden boy was shivering in fear.

(Are you kidding me!? A mission to protect her from a whole crowd of powerful mages!? That’s suicide!) He complained.

Ronin saw him peek his head from the tablecloth, and immediately hid back again.

‘I can win this mission even without doing anything.’ Ronin thought, smirking. ‘But where’s the fun in that?’

‘I’ll go for that 100%!’

A noble with a Tiger’s Eye Heartstone and a mace as a Mage Focus was one of the first to approach Belladonna. But Duke Taevas blocked him completely, aiming his sword.

“This doesn’t have to go this way, Taevas. Hand her to us and we can all settle this civilly.” The noble said.

“Hand my daughter to morons like you!? Over my dead blue body!”

Duke Taevas exclaimed, hitting that mace to fly off to the ground with one strike!

And so, a new fight has begun. An even worse one than a pie fight.

“Grahhhh! Capture both father and daughter! Seize them!”

Duke Taevas defended his daughter from the oncoming weapons, about two dozen people against one!

He was completely outnumbered, but he did not back down at all and give everything in his power to push this insane mob away. Children were crying and watching from the sidelines…

Except for Zeuxis, who just enjoyed observing the chaos with a big smile on his face.

Belladonna was also sobbing, but she did not bring any more hailstorms.

It seemed that she had completely exhausted her powers for now, and she was now as useless as an ordinary child.

“Let’s get out of here, Bella!” Ronin took her hand and ran out while everyone was too busy fighting Duke Taevas.

But Zeuxis noticed them, and pointed in their direction. “The monstrous girl is getting away!”

Some managed to follow after them and chase them out of the parlor. Duke Taevas quickly moved to block the door from the others, willing to fight these people to the death to protect his favorite daughter.

“Anyone who harms my daughter shall pay with blood! Vesuvius, I call forth your Beastial Rage!”

As he said this, his eyes seemed to have burned with fury, like he was possessed by the spirit of a thousand wolves.

His five hunting hounds had also been summoned into the fray by this, and his sword became even longer and sharper!

Both the owner and his dogs joined forces to protect the little girl from these attackers, bringing more blood and pain to these already injured guests.

But that was not enough to save the running Ronin and Bella from danger. They soon reached the garden yard outside, but…..

They now face five powerful mages that managed to catch up with them.

“Hand us the girl, Commoner. And you shall not be harmed.” One of them told him.

Ronin’s forehead became sweaty now from the constant running and the dread creeping to him.

Without any powers of his own and with Bella losing hers, how will they be able to survive this?
