Chapter 5 - 5: Hunt

"Reif, Big Brother doesn't want to leave you too but I must. I can't just let you eat bread every few days. I promise I will come back, alright? Be obedient and wait for me if you don't want to tag along "

Even beggars in the street might have more food than Reif. This is really a heartbreaking thing for Rhash

An unsure look appeared on Reif's face. His eyes that were still filled with tears stared at the other man with him. He was filled with confusion and he doesn't know what to do

Seeing that hesitation, Rhash felt a bit bitter. If Reif goes with him, he would be able to teach him useful things

Too bad that Reif is too afraid of hurting other people and didn't dare go out of his shelter

"Just stay here for the meantime, I promise to come back soon" Rhash reassured and he was about to stand up again when a thin and little body wrapped itself on him

"Don't leave me. I-I'm really fine! I f-feel full. I can't eat anymore!" Reif blatantly lied. Even now, Rhash can feel his rumbling stomach

Rhash decided to persuade Reif a few more times but the more he tried, the louder the kid cried

In the end, Rhash gave up. He can't let Reif continue crying

"Sigh... Alright, Big Brother won't leave!" Rhash said in a defeated tone and carried the thin body to a bed made from hay and grass. Reif doesn't even have a proper bed, that Baron is really too cruel

Rhash was hugged by the crying Reif for a long time. Reif only stops crying when he exhausted himself and fell asleep

Seeing that, Rhash brushes the strands of hair that fell into Reif's face. His eyes were filled with tenderness

"Your eyes are too puffy now" Rhash complained after seeing the state of Reif's eyes. This made him sigh again

Those eyes should only cry because of happiness not in grief. Although Rhash's twisted mind also enjoyed seeing how afraid Reif was in the possibility of him never coming back again

"Continue needing me please" Rhash whispered before giving Reif a kiss on the forehead. He can feel the warmth of the other kid with him and he had an impulse to stay and sleep here

However, Rhash is still determined to feed Reif with more than enough food. With the kid currently sleeping, Rhash can continue his plan for the day

With much difficulty, Rhash gently removed the little limbs wrapped in him. Reif was hugging him too tightly and it was hard to remove him

"Fuuu" Rhash released a breath of relief. He gave Reif another look and can't resist the temptation anymore. The sleeping kid was once again kissed in the forehead before Rhash exited their little abode

Rhash's running speed will make other humans blush in shame. As a body created by a chimera mage, it has a lot of advantages

Although Rhash wasn't educated on how to use mana to create magic, his body's instincts were still a great help

Not to mention, Rhash's physical body as a Vampire alone can already tear tens of humans at once

In this weak territory, except for the people that can use mana to create supernatural phenomena, there was almost no one that Rhash needs to be afraid of

In just a few minutes, Rhash already exited the territory owned by the Baron. He easily jumped high reaching the roof of the civilians' houses

Rhash uses the roof to travel as he jumped from one roof to another. Since his body doesn't really need oxygen, he managed to travel without stopping even for a single second

In a short time, Rhash reached a forest. There were some herbs here that commoners were picking up to use or sell

Rhash's herb knowledge is almost non-existent and they are also not his goal. He ignored the humans he met along the way and head deeper into the forest

There were bound to be some wild animals here. He can only hope that he won't encounter creatures that can use mana

Normal humans weren't a problem for Rhash to deal with. But those that can use magic are troublesome

After all, it wasn't a long time yet when Rhash arrives in this world. He might have adapted rather quickly since when he was on earth, he already wants to kill some people that hurt him

Rhash also has the constant dreams he had that make this world not completely foreign for him. But he still hasn't really experienced any bloodshed

Even if it's just wild animals, if not for his outstanding physique, he might not dare enter a forest to hunt them

After some time, Rhash stops. He kneeled on the ground and places his palm on it. His superior five senses were going to be one of his weapons

Rhash closes his eyes to focus on his hearing ability. The rustle of the leaves and bushes due to the winds entered his ears

Even the sounds of insects were not that hard to hear. A few moments later, Rhash sensed small feet that has quick speed

It wouldn't be bad to hunt small animals since this is Rhash's first time. Wanting to head back to Reif as soon as possible, Rhash instantly sprung into action

His figure swiftly dashed in the air covering several meters of distance already

When Rhash arrives at his target, he saw a small rabbit with blood-red eyes

Red-eyed rabbits are far from being docile. In fact, they were very violent. Even though they didn't enter the classification of magic beasts, their speed is still faster than normal rabbits

Not to mention, these rabbits love to head butt people. The power of their headbutt has the same strength as an adult's full power punch

The ears of the rabbit perked up and it immediately sensed Rhash running in its direction. Normal rabbits might cower and run away in fear but red-eyed rabbits are different

The rabbit instead decided to meet Rhash head-on. However, that is the greatest mistake it has ever made

This rabbit might have the power to beat children or even weaker adults to death but Rhash is different

Despite not having much experience, Rhash still have some control over his mana

The mana was then controlled by him and they traveled into his fingertips. As a result, his nails instantly grew longer and sharper

Rhash's blue eyes flashed and he too met the rabbit head-on. One Vampire, one red-eyed rabbit passed by each other

Things look no different than normal for some time before blood escapes the rabbit's body

Long and deep scratch marks were left by Rhash's sharp nails. The smell of blood wafted in the air and Rhash's body shuddered excitedly

His bodily instincts were filling his mind with a desire for violent bloodshed after smelling the blood he himself drawn from the enemies

Fortunately, the mental effects weren't particularly strong. Rhash just felt like he wants to create more bloodshed but he is still in control of his actions

Even after smelling blood, Rhash still didn't gain a desire to drink them. Seems like it was really only Reif's blood that can satiate his thirst

Despite this being the first time that Rhash killed someone although it was just a rabbit, he doesn't felt repulsive at all

This might be thanks to his physique. Well, that just makes Rhash feel thankful. He knew how dangerous this world is

He was currently only in the countryside. Not many magic beasts or mana users are living here. The average power was completely at the bottom

If he and Reif arrives at the stronger territories, the number of people that can use mana would exponentially increase

Those that can make the earth quake and the sky tremble are uncountable. For a bright future, Rhash needs to be the first one to get used to things such as killing

His cute cinnamon roll is still innocent. Rhash needs to step out and temporarily do all the dirty work by himself

Ever since coming into this world, Rhash already has a grand dream for Reif. Since the world has forsaken Rhash and Reif then in the future, the two of them will also forsake the world!

Rhash will also make sure that the so-called Son of God from the Church will pay for killing Reif. That son of a bitch is the one that will die in this new timeline

With a cold glint in his eyes, Rhash broke a thin branch from one of the trees around and searched for something he can use to tie the rabbit to the stick

Rhash hunted two more rabbits before he decided it was enough. He also gathered some edible fruits and nuts he can remember from his dreams before deciding to head back to the place he left his little treasure

—-

Back at the Baron Territory, it wasn't that long before Reif woke up. The absence of Rhash's body gave him a sense of loss causing Reif's sleep to not last that long

As soon as Reif woke up and hasn't seen Rhash, his face instantly paled. His body jolted as he sat upright

Reif's little eyes scanned his surroundings but he still hasn't seen his companion

Fear, dread, anxiety, pain, and all sorts of negative emotions filled Reif's mind

Was he abandoned? The person that said needed him was gone just like that?

What wrong did Reif do? Is it because he didn't listen to Rhash?

If Reif knew that this would happen, he would just be 100% obedient. He will never question nor go against Rhash's orders ever

The little ball of light in his world vanished just like that. Reif blamed himself for not being an obedient and good kid

Beads of tears were shed by his eyes and his chaos power was already on the brink of explosion again. However, Reif suddenly thought of something

His gentle and kind Big Brother might still be near. He might still have a chance

If he begs Rhash and promises that he will always be obedient in the future, his light might come back

If Rhash wants, Reif will also give all of his blood. Rhash doesn't need to leave even a single drop for him. As long as Rhash will come back, Reif will pay any price

It might only be a single week since they have met but aside from people like Reif and Rhash, other people won't understand the impact of gaining even just a single bit of light to a person that lived their whole life in darkness

The loss of light can definitely turn them insane

While thinking desperately, Reif bit his hand to draw blood from it. But after thinking that it was not enough, Reif even uses his nails to scratch his whole body so that more blood will come out

"B-Big Brother! Wuwu Reif w-will be obedient wuwu f-from now on!" Reif shouted desperately as tears never stop coming out from his eyes

He wished that the smell of his blood would enter Rhash's nose and his Big Brother would come back to him

However, even after a few minutes of shouting and wailing, no Rhash came back

This made Reif even more desperate. He exited his shelter and disobeyed his father's order

Reif roamed around the Baron's Territory while desperately shouting the words "Big Brother"

He doesn't care anymore who will see him. He just needs his Big Brother back!

"Isn't that the monster of this house? What is he doing here?"

"Look, he might have completely turn insane by now"

"What do you know? That monster has always been insane!"

"Yeah, a monster that killed even his own mother. How cruel!"

The servants around start gossiping while pointing fingers at Reif that have scratch wounds all over his body

They completely treated Reif like a monster that they need to badmouth.. At normal times, Reif will be hurt by their words. But at the moment, he only wants to see his Big Brother again to beg him not to leave
