Chapter 297 Disagreement

A frown creased on Raith's face.

"What are you doing?"

"Aha! Raith! Aye! I got carried away for a moment."

"That was pure bloodlust Absalom"

"Come on, I said I got carried away. I never expected that a measly human would be able to pull one on me like that."

Raith's eyes glimmered with a subtle red aura on his red pupils alone.

"That measly human is my brother, my elder brother."

Absalom's eyes widened, he looked at Curtis and looked back at Raith. It finally made sense why Curtis looked so familiar yet so unfamiliar.

Both their hairs were pitch black. Except that a few strands of Raith's hair were white. Which was odd because those weren't there the last time he saw Raith.

"I had no idea he was your brother. I'm so sorry" Absalom apologized with s grin. He was trying to make the atmosphere light but it was all futile because Raith's creased brows wouldn't relax.

"It's fine Raith. I have learned a lot from the duel than I have in a lot of years, I'm sure this man only meant good."

Raith turned his face to his brother and looked at Absalom who still had a cocky grin on his face, concurring with what his brother had said with an assertive nod.

"No, you don't know this guy. He's a bully, there's no way he would have meant good. He would have killed you if I didn't step in, I've been in this position too."

"Ahh, you still remember. Those were memories man." Absalom exclaimed tapping Raith's shoulder, "Wow... did you grow taller, you didn't used to be this tall."

Raith ignored him and turned to his brother.

"Are you okay? You should go to the infirmary and get yourself checked out."

Curtis smiled, "Don't worry, I will do that." He said with a smile, his eyes squinted as the smile curved up his lips.

Raith watched his brother walk away with other guys, interacting with them as they all went out of the gym.

He turned his gaze back to Absalom after they had left.

"What are you doing here?"

"Isn't it time? I am tired of staying here. You are now strong, as I am. Shouldn't we be running to get master now? Besides we now have Balam. Where is he by the way? I haven't seen him since I came?"

Raith folded his hand, "I don't know where Balam is, he would be around or could be running an errand. As for going to hell...I was already thinking about it. But I have to do something first.

"What could be more important than going back home."

"Your home, not mine, Volmak is the only thing I care about in that place."

"Naah..." Absalom scowled at Raith, "I doubt you care about anything, even Volmak."

"Watch your mouth."

"Ever since we have come to earth. You have been very satisfied with everything here, I have been busting my ass every day trying to go back to save Volmak, you have been living life. You have been enjoying the fame and delight that came with being a catastrophe rank hunter."

"And you did not get carried away too? You didn't enjoy being a disaster-rank hunter? Or maybe you were just so unhappy that I am higher and stronger than you in this realm."

Absalom scowled and refused to disappear, only getting more intense. He gritted his teeth behind his closed lips and clenched his fist hard.

"You are a fool really. At this point, you think I am jealous of what you have? You know what? You can fuck off, I don't need the help of a dumb cockroach saving my master." He turned away and walked out of the hall.

'Wow...did you just fight with your best friend, you are a dumbfuck'

"Shut it, he's not my best friend," Raith mumbled and looked away.

Ring

Rinnggg

His phone rang, interrupting the deafening silence. Putting it to his ear automatically picked the call.

"Jae-Hwa..." Raith's accent in pronouncing Korean names still had an oddity to it but he had improved compared to when he just come to Korea, plus he was already speaking some basic words of their language.

He could automatically understand of course thanks to the abyss auto translation.

"I just came back... where are you?"

"Meet me in the gym."

"Alright," He said and hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, he and Balam entered the hall. Balam was just like a human with red spiky hair and dark-skinned and red fiery eyes. His shark teeth were the only odd thing about him along with his unreasonable pride.

He was quite proud for someone who couldn't hold his own against an angel.

He looked at Raith, observing his expression for a few seconds.

'Something must have happened.'

He saw Absalom while he and Mok Jae-Hwa were coming to the gym. The look on the vampire's face hinted to him that something had happened between the two of them. But he was too skeptical to ask.

He hadn't spent much time with Raith since agreeing to become his servant. n/(OVElb1n

'Servant' was too blatant and demeaning for someone with his level of pride, so he would often say. He offered to become Raith's 'subordinate'

Balam dropped three boxes on the floor after Mok Jae-Hwa had dropped the two in his hands.

"These are very expensive, I hope whatever you want to use them for makes any sense."

"I want to use them for the Sun."

"Sun?" Mok Jae-Hwa cocked his head, "Did you forget the part where I said 'must make sense'?"

"That is what I want to use it for," Raith said and crouched, opening the first box.

It was different from all the runestones he had been absorbing so far. It was like a large chump of black rock with a purple glowing rune letter on it. The others were blue and weren't even glowing.

Raith sighed, and he closed his eyes. He resolved to himself that no matter how good the skills in them are, they are to be deleted.

He opened his eyes and took the stone. The initial pressure he applied to it wasn't enough to break it, he had instinctively applied the same amount of pressure he used to break the smaller ones.

He put more force into his grasp and broke it.

[Congratulations, you have gained a USR-ranked skill]
