Chapter 61 - 61: First Meeting

With survival being the only thing in his mind, Khaknur tapped his spider legs into the ground

Nath Lumine raised his brows a bit at that as he can sense the movement of mana

In the next second, sharp spider-like legs grew from the ground. They were in Nath's four-corner, trying to corner him in

However, it only took a single foot smash for Nath to deal with that. His foot left a large crater into the ground with cracks spreading around

The sharp spider legs that Khaknur created with the help of magic was crushed in an instance

In reality, Khaknur's power was greater than that. His magic shouldn't have been dealt with by Nath as easily as that

The problem was that one's mental state is also important when using magic. Since Khaknur has too much fear in his body, he cannot use a hundred percent of his power, making his magic less powerful than it should have been

Even then, since his goal was only to make a big commotion, Khaknur still brought himself some time

His human head opened its mouth as he spat a purple ball of liquid into the skies

Soon, a large magic circle covering a large area appeared. The clouds and skies instantly darkened in color

The light coming from the sun was blocked by the thick black clouds that soon releases acidic rain

The rain landed down below. The trees that had acid rain landed on them starts to melt

Even the ground starts sizzling as if they were being fried

Since Rhash said to make as big of a commotion as possible then Khaknur would do that

With such a large abnormality in the sky, his masters would definitely notice it and come to his rescue

However, there is still one big problem. Khaknur has to survive until his masters arrive

The acid rain wasn't able to do anything on Nath. It was like these impure things were dodging him, afraid of sullying such a pure existence

This really is terrifying

"You have some skills" Nath commented before his pointing and middle finger was covered with a white light

Nath drew an arc in the air with the help of fingers and a pure arc of light was sent flying in Khaknur's direction

All the acid raindrop that made contact with the arc of light was purified. Khaknur also uses this magic to make a big commotion, he really doesn't expect it to defeat Nath

However, for his large-scale magic to be this ineffective, just how monstrous this enemy of his was?

The light arc has a fast speed and Khaknur barely dodged it. Even then, the side of his baby face still received a bloody cut on it

The adrenaline in his body that should have been at its peak after escaping death calmed down a little bit

The calming effect was just negligible but since Khaknur loves his life dearly, he can easily know what is happening to his body

Nath's attack causes his fighting spirit to diminish! He feels like if he was hit enough, he would lose the desire to fight his enemy that wants to take his life

Terrifying, truly terrifying

All of the nerves in Khaknur's body tensed up. Nath continues to attack him and he did his best to dodge

Every second that passed was almost able to take Khaknur's life. The fortunate thing was that his survivability is high

He cannot perform well when fighting a dangerous enemy but if his instincts told him that he would die, he will explode with a potential that enables him to survive

That happens multiple times until Nath decided that he should end this as soon as possible

With that decision in mind, Nath summoned his Holy Sword. He is the Son of God but he is also a Paladin

His sword looks just like any sword. It has a steel-like blade with a thin gold coating on the edge

What makes it beautiful was the handle. It seems to have been crafted with the purest of gold

The confusing thing though was that there were three sockets in it that were completely empty

Nath's sword might look like any other exquisite and expensive sword but it definitely wasn't!

Just holding the sword alone already increases his power by a huge margin

In a flash, Nath appeared at Khaknur. Nath's ability to make killing moves without releasing any killing nor negative intent was a huge headache

If Khaknur can sense the killing intent, he would be able to react faster. But without killing intent, his instincts were a bit late from sensing the danger

Hence, it was extremely hard for him to defend than normal

Khaknur created a spider leg from magic to block the sword strike but it was soon cut in half

The good thing was that the extremely short delay enabled him to dodge

Khaknur saw Nath's sword cutting the ground as if it was just butter. The cut was so clean that people would wonder if such a durable material really existed in this world

If Khaknur was the one that was slice by that sword, he really would be a goner and his fear rose to the maximum

"W-wait! W-why do you even w-want to kill me?" Khaknur asked in a wronged and fearful manner

He didn't do anything wrong. He was just hunting the trolls earlier when this guy attacked him out of nowhere

"You either have bad timing or you really were his accomplice" Nath calmly answered while drawing his sword again

Accomplice? Khaknur's heart rate rose at that. He knew of his master's enmity with the church

If his attacker was really from the church then they might also have enmity for Rhash and Reif

Khaknur vowed that he should not let his foe know that he was affiliated with his masters. Who knows if this guy would erupt in anger and uses more of his power to kill him?

"Do you know who I am talking about?" Nath asked while slowly walking towards Khaknur

The spider does not want to deny his masters but he doesn't have a choice but to lie

"N-no, I don't!" Khaknur answered fearfully in hopes that he would be saved

However, he saw Nath sneering at him. "You are bad at lying" Nath commented before charging at the terrified spider

"Yeah, you really suck at lying. How dare you deny your master"

A voice very much familiar to Khaknur entered his ears and his heart sped up. He is safe! His master is here!

In the sky, Rhash can be seen. He saw the darkening of the clouds and he flew all the way here as soon as he can

The first thing he heard was Khaknur denying him in front of a man that he feels familiar with but he still hasn't seen his face

Rhash descended like a meteorite.

The bloody aura in his body made him look like a star that was full of blood

Nath sensed the danger and he jumped away. When he looks at the newcomer's face, his eyes flashed with an astonishment

Just what he had seen? What is such a beautiful creature doing here?

Nath was surprised at Rhash's appearance. If Rhash also has the angelic and saintly aura that he has, no doubt that Rhash would look and feel as pure as him

This gave Nath's mind some thoughts he shouldn't be having

Rhash on the other hand trembled after he saw the face of Khaknur's attacker

It was a face that he would never forget even if he wants to

That face that seems unable to do any harm, the aura that makes any other thing in the mortal world feels filthy .. all of these are not completely unfamiliar to him

Nath Lumine.. the Son of God.. the one that will conquer the world by using Reif as the stepping stone

This is the first time that the two face each other yet Rhash's blood is already boiling

His eyes even reddened. Only the color red was the only thing that Rhash can see

God knows how many times Rhash wanted to kill Nath every time he would see him in his dreams

This guy is the biggest reason why Reif was completely miserable in the original timeline. He tried so many times to kill Reif, including turning the world against him

In terms of viciousness and cruelty, this Nath Lumine would win. The most hatred inducing thing was that he could do such a thing while still giving the people a feeling that he was a saintly existence

Rhash's hatred spikes. He knows that he is willing to sacrifice even his life if it means he could kill this guy

All the frustrations and hatred he has for Nath exploded all at once

Without even the slightest bit of warning, Rhash burned a large amount of his blood, making his aura more intense than before to go and kill his most hated person
