Chapter 58 - 58

The Paladin was soon badly beaten up by Reif. His bloody body looks like it was abuse for years

If not for his strong will, this Paladin would have given up already

He underestimated Reif too much. Who knew that this kid would be able to pull off something like this?

The Paladin knew that he cannot defeat Reif and he needs to survive. Hence, he created a barrier stronger than the other ones before fleeing

Reif didn't give chase though. He can't use too much of his chaos power or else,  his body would break down

Aside from that, who knows if there is more than one enemy? Reif doesn't need to risk his life

Rhash believes that Reif would be the strongest person in this world again. He has that potential. He only needs to continue surviving, that is already enough

While thinking of that, Reif decided to come back to his big brother without bringing Khaknur

He was worried that since he got attacked by someone, his big brother would also be in the same situation

Thankfully, to Reif's happiness, when he arrives, nothing wrong happened to Rhash. He was in the same condition as before Reif left

Rhash already sense Reif returning and he thought that this kid was too fast. However, before he can even say anything, he was already engulfed in a tight hug

"O-okay, I like hugging but what's the matter?" Rhash asked as Reif is acting strangely. What happened at the short time that he head out?

"Big brother, I was attacked—" Reif still has something to say yet Rhash was already checking his body for any sign of injury

He was like a worried mother that was checking his baby boy for injuries when the boy simply went to a park to play

"I-I'm fine. It's just that, I was worried that you were attacked too" Reif said seriously although there is also a hint of smile on his face

The thought that Rhash was attacked by someone was dreadful. However, Rhash's reaction is really something that Reif likes

His whole childhood, he was deprived of the love and warmth that his parents should have given to him

Even the other people around him all have prejudiced and they think of him as a monster

It makes him yearn for warmth and love that he didn't receive before. Only when he met Rhash did he received tons of them

We can't blame Reif too much if he greatly likes how thoughtful his big brother is

"Who are those bastards? I'll kill them!" Rhash said through gritted teeth. Since they dared to try and harm his little gem, they must pay the price for that

"I-I don't know. My attacker fled before I can interrogate him but... he is powerful, really powerful and he uses light magic. If I haven't used my chaos power, I might not be able to win"

It was only thanks to the power that Reif is born with that he won. If not for that, he might have died by then already

Rhash had Reif continue describing his attacker. The more Rhash listened, the more he was thinking of who that attacker was

"Could it be the Church?" Rhash muttered. Light magic, using a broadsword and shield. This very much sounds like a Paladin

These Paladins have strong attack power and durable defense. It was hard to kill them thanks to their defense

Those guys are simply monsters. They have been blessed with their God, increasing their powers in return

"The Church..." Reif whispered. He knows how much his big brother hated the church. Because of that, he vowed to one day destroy that organization

It's just that, as of right now, the church has really almost become obsolete. There are too few of numbers if believers

Most people don't even know that a God of Light exist

Therefore, Reif almost forgot the church's existence. Now that they are the possible culprit behind the attack he went through, it seems like Reif really needs to destroy them

Today, it was him that got attacked. Tomorrow, it might be his most important person. Reif can't let a group continue existing

"There is that possibility and we can't be too careful. This church is very crafty. They look nice on the outside even though they were extremely ugly on the inside. We need to change our plan. Let's go get Khaknur together. We need as many forces as we can"

Since the church being involved is not out of the question, the plan needs to change. Rhash wouldn't make a mistake as to look down on them

Even the strongest person in the world was killed because of them! If that is not enough to make people treat them seriously then who will?

"Alright!" Reif immediately agreed. He was worried that if he were to leave again, someone will really attack his big brother

The two traveled in the woods again. But this time, they went on foot. Flying in the sky would just turn them into a delicious target. They can't do that

The two run really fast. Faster than the cars back on earth and it didn't take that long before they arrived at their destination

They left Khaknur near the village after setting a temporary camp for him. They dig underground before covering it again

With how small Khaknur is, he doesn't need a big space

He has the mission to make sure that the villager wouldn't get wiped out. Sure, there can be some deaths and Khaknur wouldn't make a move

However, what if the change in the timeline killed all these villagers? They can't let that happen 

It was better to not have any stain on one's name as much as possible

"Masters, is the mission done already? That was fast!" Khaknur felt relieved that his masters came back for him this fast

He wants to be the one that was to be protected,  not the one that is doing the protecting

He doesn't feel safe being left behind and you can imagine how happy he was to see his masters again when his good mood was flushed into the drain in the next second

"We need you to come with us. It's highly possible that we would meet strong foes. We need as much help as we can" Rhash went straight to the point and Khaknur immediately panics

"W-what are the enemies? Are they strong? Can we even beat them? Are they scary? Are we going to die today?"

Khaknur instantly turned into a nervous mess as all sorts of negative and also extreme thoughts filled his mind

To be needing his help despite how strong his masters were... just who are these enemies?

Khaknur was still nervous when...

Boink!

The little spider just got punch on its head by Rhash that glared at him

"Grow a pair of balls, will you? All of our strength is needed. If you mess up, I'll kill you myself" Rhash threatened while showing his fist which was really effective. Khaknur became more afraid of him than the possible enemies

Rhash is a nice master but there were also times that he was frightening

Reif being a special one never received any harshness from Rhash. On the other hand, the same thing cannot be said to Khaknur

Whenever he became too nervous about something, Rhash would hit his head. It gave him quite the trauma

"Um... big brother, don't be too harsh on him. He was just afraid"

Since Khaknur has been a great help to Reif, their relationship improves

If not for Khaknur, Reif wouldn't try to seduce his big brother. And if he didn't do that, would he even be given the chance to pop Rhash's cherry?

Hence, Reif treated Khaknur better than the past year. However, among the three, there is really only one boss

"Stop, I know why you are doing this and it's fine but the matter at hand is a very serious one. We can't afford to commit any mistake. That's why I want all three of us to be ready and fight at moment's notice. No one should underestimate the church, you don't know how dreadful they can be"

Rhash thought that if he were to meet the people of the church, he would be valiant and fight them without fear

He didn't expect that he would become this emotional. Maybe, Rhash also has his own trauma

No matter how powerful Reif was, he was still killed thanks to the church's manipulation

Rhash doesn't want the same thing from the original timeline to happen again. Thus, he wants to be as serious as possible

He can't have Khaknur peeing his pants again just because he was afraid to fight someone using his own body

Nothing bad should happen to them. Rhash only wants the best although he was somehow overcome by his emotions

Fortunately, Reif to some extent is fast to pick up his big brother's mood and he immediately gave him another hug that might help
