Chapter 16 - 16: Kill! (2)

Seeing how Rhash easily dealt with his fireballs, Baron Garn narrowed his eyes. Just from that single exchange, he can feel that Rhash is far from being weak

However, the pain from the death of his son needs an outlet. He wouldn't stop until he also kills his son's killer!

"Bastards! You both deserve to die!" Baron Garn raged as he placed his palms closed to each other

Fire immediately started to condense between the gaps of his palms. The fireball he was making was more condense than the previous batch he had created

Rhash doesn't want Reif to get hurt from this battle of his with Garn and he fearlessly charged towards the man

Instead of dodging, Rhash wants to meet his enemy head-on. Whether he would get injured or not is out of his concern

Rhash has confidence in his power and even if he really got hurt, that would also have another benefit

The more Rhash is hurt, the more Reif would want to protect him. This will make the kid realize how badly it is needed for them to have a strength of their own and that they would need to kill people if they want to save themselves

Even though Rhash and Reif were silently living their lives, trouble itself came knocking on their doorsteps

This world is really cruel.. Rhash already knows the consequences of killing a Nobility

It was him and Reif that would be portrayed as evil even though they were merely protecting themselves from r*pists. That's the kind of world they are living in

A world that wants to make them the evil people in this world. If that is the case, then there is no need to walk the path of light

With his eyes flashing with ferocity, Rhash charged towards Garn. The bloody aura in his right fist became even more condensed

BANG!!

Another loud explosion occurred. This time, the explosion was stronger and louder than before

Crimson fire momentarily spreads around causing Rhash's figure to be swallowed by it

"Big Brother!" Reif cried out anxiously but even before the smokes vanishes, he already heard Rhash's voice

"Reif, watch carefully. I survived that explosion because I have the power. But if I don't, what do you think will happen to me?"

That question repeatedly rang inside Reif's mind. If his Big Brother really doesn't have the power then... Reif shuddered at that thought

Receiving an attack like that means death!

If Rhash really died, Reif wouldn't be able to forgive himself. The pain from the internal injuries he suffered numbed as cold sweats drenched Reif's whole body

He can't imagine what would happen if Rhash really died

"This is the result of having power, Reif!" Rhash stated and his figure was revealed again

His fist was still emitting smokes and it was burnt a bit. The bloody aura in his body also thinned considerably but Rhash's blue eyes were still filled with killing intent

It was like a beast was released. Although the injury in his fist was only a small one, Rhash is sure that Reif will force him to drink more blood

That would make Rhash worried for Reif's health. Thus, he decided to kill Garn as fast as possible so that he won't sustain even more injuries

"Impossible!" Garn shouted in disbelief. It was fine if Rhash still survived the explosion. But this level of injury is too little!

Garn uses a lot of power to create that exploding fireball! Even he would at least be on the brink of death if he receives it. How come Rhash has few injuries?

"Nothing is impossible!" Rhash said with a sneer and like a phantom, his figure vanishes. No, he just moved at a fast speed

Rhash reaches the space in front of Garn and he threw a punch at the old Baron's stomach

The Baron was immediately sent flying in the air. His back even collided with the Manor's walls leaving numerous cracks in it

"A r*pist needs to die and the r*pist's father that let him do that also deserves to die!" Rhash said cruelly before his body moves again

In no time, Rhash already reached Garn and his foot mercilessly kicked the Baron's head

Crack

A single kick alone causes Garn's head to crack. Not all human that can use magic has an extraordinary physique. A lot of them were still as fragile as normal human

Rhash can even bend steel with his bare hands. This much is nothing

Crack!

Rhash gave the Baron yet another kick and this time, the man was as dead as he can be

After that, Rhash turned his head to look at Reif that was looking at him with wide-open eyes

"Reif, this is power. I have superior power and I retained my life while this old man died. But if the level of power was reversed, it would be me that will die not him" Rhash said in a serious tone as he walks towards Reif

To his relief, Reif was only shocked but didn't show any fear for him

Reaching his little gem, Rhash crouched down so that they are on the eye to eye level

"Am I dirty? I don't want him to kill you so I killed him. You might be disgusted and afraid but I don't regret it. I won't let anyone hurt you" Rhash said sincerely while resting his forehead in Reif's forehead

This time, Reif understands more things already. Although he still has some negative notions about killings but if it was really his Big Brother that was killed... he can't accept that

Even if his Big Brother murdered someone, it was all for their sake. If Rhash didn't do that, both of them would be dead already

Reif's dark pupils stared directly at Rhash's blue ones. The earlier ferocity cannot be seen from it anymore

It was instead replaced by warmth, care, and some fear

"Big Brother is not dirty" Reif said truthfully and some of Rhash's fear vanishes

"Big Brother is kind and cared about me" Reif raises his hand to touch Rhash's soft cheeks

"Reif will become stronger too to prevent anyone from hurting Big Brother"

Rhash felt comforted with those words and for the nth time, he rubs his face in Reif's palm like a meek and tamed kitten

Rhash also raises his hand to hold Reif's hand but that causes the latter to frown

The slightly burnt hand of Rhash entered Reif's eyes and he holds it

"Big Brother is hurt... again because of me" Reif said with sadness and pain before kissing the injured hand

This greatly touches Rhash's heart and another smile blossomed on his face. "This is not Reif's fault, it was the fault of bad people in this world"

Although Rhash said that, for Reif, it was still partly his fault

"Big Brother, I will train harder from now on. I don't want Big Brother to get hurt again" Reif promised

In the past, he still hasn't understood Rhash's words. Although he trained his power, it was only because he doesn't want Rhash to be disappointed if he showed no talent

Not to mention, he wasn't even able to use the power he trained for. In the end, it was Rhash that took care of the biggest 'trouble'

Starting from now, Reif wouldn't only train to satisfy Rhash. He would train very hard to protect the most important person in his life!

"That's good, with Reif's talent, you will surely become the strongest in the world" Rhash said and it wasn't merely him complimenting a kid

In terms of personal power, Reif is really stronger compared to that hypocritical so-called Son of God

It's just that Reif is completely alone. He doesn't have even one person in his life

As for that hypocrite, he is always surrounded by allies that have powers also considered at the peak of this world

If they didn't ally, Reif wouldn't be killed in Rhash's dreams. But now, things would be different

Rhash would have Reif train his power earlier than in his dreams. If possible, he would also kill the hypocrite's allies when he saw them

Rhash will make sure to pave the path for Reif no matter how bloody it was

Reif was about to open his mouth again and Rhash can already guess what he would say. Reif will surely force Rhash to drink his blood

However, Rhash currently doesn't want to do that and he stood up. "Reif, wait for me here, I will need to clean some things"

Although the Baron is dead, there were still the servants. In Rhash's dreams, after Reif got out of Garn's territory, he was hunted for killing a Noble

Nobles are Nobles after all even if they are poor and are living in a backwater territory

If Brent helped his son that also has Noble blood, Reif wouldn't be hunted. However, as soon as Reif was sent into Garn's territory, the kid was immediately removed from the family register

Brent disowned Reif so that no matter what the kid does, he wouldn't be implicated

After all, Brent already knows that Reif might kill Garn's son. Although he won't be killed if his son did that, there was still a fine and punishment. Brent is unwilling to bear those and he let the Empire hunt his own son
