The Villain’s Light (BL) - Chapter 125

Five days later

After five whole days, the time for Reif’s match finally arrived. He wasted no time as he arrived at the Gladiator’s Coliseum at an early time

Countless pairs of eyes instantly stared at him. Some were curious at him while some felt despise

Most of the audience isn’t convinced of Reif’s power since they still haven’t experienced it themselves nor did they witness it before

Those kinds of reactions are inevitably but it surely would change not long from now

“T-this way sir!” The attendant immediately served Reif. A person that has enough money to issue an S rank match is definitely not a normal person

Even if that person were to lose, he should still be a powerful fighter. After all, who would waste such a large amount of money in a fight they think they don’t have the chance of winning? That would not make sense

Reif nodded his head as he was guided downstairs. The area where the battles would happen was in the middle of the circular seats that has tens of floors

The battle space was wide enough to fit thousands of people without any problem. After all, S rank existence could definitively move a large distance in a blink of an eye

If the battling space was too small, the contestants would not be able to showcase their full might

As soon as Reif entered the arena, the crowd instantly become noisy. His face was still in disguise as his plans might be hindered if the church knows where he was

“Who do you think would win?”

“It’s hard to say. His opponent is said to be not that powerful against the S ranks in the Imperial City but an S rank is still an S rank!

“Right, those heavenly people could definitely destroy cities just by themselves. Even mountains would be flattened by their power!”

“However, everyone that has enough guts to ask for an S rank match are definitely not simple. I’m dying to see how strong he is”

“If that person really won this match, he would definitely shake the entire capital! After all, every S rank fighters are sought after!”

“Anyway, does anyone here knows his name?”

“From what I know, no one knows his name. He just demanded a match then vanishes as if he was a bubble

“But I heard people giving him the nickname ‘Nameless’ though”

“Heh… if he won this match, his title ‘Nameless’ definitely wouldn’t suit him anymore”

“Hehehehe, my intuition is telling me that Nameless will win this match. I even bet all my savings to him!”

“What?! Are you stupid? How could you bet your entire savings to an unknown man!”

“My intuition is always correct! I would surely earn a lot from this match. Don’t cry coming to me later if you regret not betting on him!”

“Crazy old man, I won’t regret it. After all, an already known S rank fighter has more chances of winning compared to an unknown man!”

The thousands of people that came to spectate the match gossiped with each other. They even bet on Reif or his opponent

The whole coliseum was noisy as every area would have people discussing the outcome of this much

Reif waited for a few minutes inside the arena when his opponent finally arrives

As soon as that person appears, the crowd instantly became even noisier than before

“Goooo Sand King! My life’s savings is in your hands!”

“Gosh, look at how imposing his appearance is! I think the Sand King would win this match!”

“Even his body looks sturdier than Nameless. His odds of winning are really higher!”

“I hope the Sand King would win and teach that Nameless that not just anyone could challenge S rank fighters!”

The man they called sand kind has a buffed body. He looks really muscular by human standards

Hearing the discussion and praise of the audience, the Sand King’s mood elevated. He was happy to receive such praises and his confidence has soared as he stared at Reif with an arrogant expression on his face

“Hehehe, I don’t know who you are but don’t worry, I won’t treat you that bad. After all, I’ll receive a huge sum of money after winning!” The Sand King said boastfully but Reif didn’t react

A person at the Sand King’s level is not the kind of people that he would view seriously. He could definitely defeat this man easily

After not earning a reaction from his opponent, the Sand King felt as if he just received a slap. He was originally brimming with confidence and arrogance but Reif actually dared to ignore him and refuses to give him respect?

The Sand King originally planned on not being too harsh against Reif but the latter’s attitude made him change his mind

He would surely make this man learn a lesson he would never forget his entire life!

“Good! Good! You don’t even appreciate my goodwill. Let’s see how far your arrogance could take you!”

As usual, Reif ignored his opponent and the facilitator came to deliver a short speech that ignited the audience’s bloodlust

They became more excited about this match and they were itching to watch it

Fortunately, since the facilitator’s job is already done after inciting the audience, he signaled for the crew and they erected a magical barrier around the battle arena

A transparent dome barrier was erected that would protect the audience from the battle that would normally take their lives even if they just want to watch

The audience hold their breath and the facilitator finally announced the start of the match

“Bastard, taste my power!” The Sand King said as he immediately slammed his palms into the ground

The entire ground of the area changed as countless grains of sands appeared that covered the whole floor

Reif knows that he can finish this much in a short time but he refrained from doing that. This is a chance to assess the strength of the S ranks in the Imperial City that might possibly become his sword using his plan

He has to have a clear understanding of them to make sure that he would avoid making any mistakes

As such, Reif immediately summoned winds below his feet that raises his body. He could fly using gravity magic but that would make it easier for people to recognize him

He can’t use his signature moves in his matches but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t win. He still has confidence in his power

“You can fly but my sand can still reach you!” The Sand King shouted before controlling the grains of sand in the groud

They flew up like cannonballs as they targeted Reif that flew around to dodge them

However, the sand attack was literally coming from all directions and there was no room for him to dodge

As such, Reif changes from dodging to blocking

Reif swallowed large amount of air making his chest bulge before he releases them in one go

As soon as Reif opened his mouth, he instantly releases what it looks like an ice storm

It was a combination of ice magic with raging winds that froze all the sand in the surrounding area

Reif’s power even seeps down the ground and the battlefield that was originally at the Sand King’s favor has changes

The whole floor was instantly covered with thick ice that releases a terrifyingly low temperature

If not for the barrier, the audience might have been turned into frozen statues already. But although they cannot feel how cold it is inside the arena, they are still sure that it was the kind of cold that they would never imagine

“Not bad but not enough!” The Sand King said before jumping high in the air

His fists were covered with thick and heavy sand as he threw a punch on Reif that created a large block of earth in front of him

Bang!

The Sand King’s fist collided with the earthen wall that shattered into pieces. The punch’s force even sent the earthen debris flying everywhere

The earth wall managed to stall for a bit of time but the Sand King still continues to approach Reif by controlling sands at his feet

Reif covered his own fist with ice and this time, he receives the Sand King’s punch head-on

Bang!

Another loud banging sound rang and to the audience’s shock, the Sand King was sent flying by the punch

His back heavily landed in the ground and shattered the ice in it

‘Did I uses too much strength?’ Reif asked to himself but soon realize that he didn’t

The Sand King still looks completely fine as the man stared furiously at him

Reif also descended down and readied himself to receive another attack from his enemy

Soon, grains of sands appeared on the Sand King’s arms that turned into agile whips that were several meters long

The man wildly swung his whip and they traveled in the air as they approached Reif that was ready to receive them
