The Villain’s Light - Chapter 110

“How confident are you?” Rhash questions the man with him. Since they planned on taking the shard of brilliance by force, a fight is inevitable

Not to mention, perhaps, the only way for them to obtain the shard is to kill its current owner

Salamander can be considered as a mini/boss in this world. Only below than of the big boss – Nath

Naturally, his power is not to be underestimated. Maybe if Rhash could fight Salamander along with Reif, it would be safer

Unfortunately, there are three powerful underlings present at all times to protect Salamander. Since he couldn’t move from his current location, people that he could order around as he wish are present and Rhash has to fight those people

Not to mention, if the church were to know that the people at their number 1 hunting list entered the Mesha City, they would surely send some people to kill them

The difficulty would rise at a large margin when reinforcements from the church arrive

“Don’t worry big brother, I can take care of this easily” Reif said in reassurance. With the memories that he had inherited, he don’t believe that he couldn’t win against his enemies

The only thing limiting his power was his still immature body. He was nearing his full maturity but near maturity is still far different compared to complete maturity

“I know that you are confident but too much confidence might become a poisonous arrogance” Rhash rebuked

Although things are urgent as they can’t let the church obtain the shard, safety is still the most important thing

“Have faith in me, big brother!” Reif insisted and the other man could only agree

While in disguise, the two entered the Mesha City. With their current capabilities, it wasn’t hard for them to fool these weak guards

Only someone at a very high level has the chance to notice them as the two are also quite adept at controlling their power to the point that they feel no different than a normal person

However, the two still weren’t able to completely hide the natural superior aura that they give off. After all, their power was enough to create an apocalypse in this world. How could their aura be the same as normal people?

That is simply impossible!

As they don’t want to attract any attention, Rhash just help and use illusion magic so that the city people wouldn’t even notice them

The two continue walking in a certain direction. Rhash has his memories to help in navigation while Reif can feel something inside this city

He could feel the shard of brilliance that he had absorbed throbbing as if it was itching to have something

And that something might possibly be another shard of brilliance

After a while, the two entered the slums. A lot of people are inside it and they all have one thing in common which was extreme poverty

All the people in the slums are weak and frail. They don’t have enough food to eat and they are all malnourished

They were in a similar condition when Rhash first met Reif. However, unlike with Reif, Rhash doesn’t feel any pity for these people

After all, these people are surely part of everyone in this world that turned against Reif

Just because hating and persecuting Reif was the norm, they just blindly followed the crowd

Rhash knows that he was twisted and the only person important to him is Reif but he doesn’t care. Reif is the only one that he needs as much as Reif only needs him

The two ignored the weak and malnourished citizens of the city as they went on their way

Despite there some people begging for food or money, none of them receives any

After a while, the two entered an extremely dark area in the slum. Unlike the other areas in the slum, this area doesn’t have anyone as if everyone had a tacit agreement of not coming in this place

But of course, that is not what is happening at all. Instead of having great fear for this place, it was more of the people in the slums and the entire city don’t know that this place existed

It was enchanted with magic that wards off people and fooled them to go in another direction as if this area is not present at all

But with Rhash and Reif’s level, the warding effect doesn’t have any effect on them at all

The two continue on their way and the deeper they went, the darker their surrounding becomes

Their skins felt uncomfortable as if death was looming around them. It was as if death would arrive any time soon

However, they are both aware that those feelings were just illusions. To be specific, that effect has something to do with the shard that is in Salamander’s hand

After some time, the two stops as their senses were telling them that they are not the only ones in this place

Reif was about to make a move but Rhash put his arm in front of the former. “Save your strength, I’ll handle this” Rhash said and in a flash, he appeared above a hidden formation in the floor in front of a wall that created a dead end

Rhash was about to touch the hidden formation when a silhouette moved at a fast speed

Clang!

The sound of metal hitting something hard rang around. In the next second, there was already a masked man holding one dagger in each hand that attacked Rhash

Unfortunately for this masked man, Rhash knew that he would be attacked and he created a gauntlet using solidified blood that was harder than metals

Thanks to that, he completely blocked the masked man’s daggers without taking any harm

“Intruders are not allowed here. Continue and you shall die!” The eerie voice of the masked man entered Rhash’s ears but he simply sneered

Seems like the church has already cornered Salamander. At normal times, this masked man would have killed any intruder already. But now, he was merely asking for Rhash and Reif to leave

“I’m not the one that will die, number 3” Rhash replied in disdain

There are three powerful people serving Salamder that corresponds to the first three numbers – 1, 2, and 3

Among them, it was number three that has the weakest power. His work mostly consist of killing everyone that would arrive near the hidden formation

As Salamander can’t change place, the church must have cornered him. Even though that man is powerful, Nath is like the protagonist of this world

His path was always smooth sailing and it wasn’t that hard for him to reach the top. Against someone that seems to have been blessed by the whole world, what is a mere Salamander even if he has one of the shards of brilliance?

Number 3 didn’t have much of a reaction after learning that Rhash knows him. However, Rhash is still sure that this man was surprised

After all, in this world, almost no one knows this place,  Salamander, and his three underlings

The ones that know are too few in numbers. Perhaps in the past, only the Royal Family of the Archenlan Empire is aware of Salamander’s existence

“I know that talking and trying to persuade you wouldn’t work so, I just have to kill you” Rhash said in a deadly manner and number 3 immediately moved away from him

In the ground, sharp tendrils of bloodshot out like raging pythons, trying to kill the masked man

As someone that is an underling of Salamander, number 3 is by no means weak compared to the majority of people

However, Rhash is on a whole different level. Not only was his body extremely powerful, but he could also even increase his strength fast as long as Reif grew stronger

Reif’s blood is a catalyst for Rhash and it gave him an explosive growth in power when Reif woke up from his coma and gained even more power

It can be said that Rhash could easily bully the version of himself that Nath continue to hunt when Reif was still unconscious

In a speed that is not impossible for normal people’s eyes to catch up, Rhash moved as he threw a kick towards number 3 that blocked with his daggers

Clang!

The same sound from earlier rang around again but this time, number 3 was pushed away by the impact

His back hits the wall and he can’t help but look at Rhash in surprise. That short man actually has that much physical strength!

Really, one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Who would have thought that Rhash’s small body possess this level of power

Still, number 3 needs to do his work properly and his whole body blended in the darkness

His presence itself seems to have vanished into thin air. No matter where one looks at, they wouldn’t be able to notice where number 3 was hiding

This dark place that not many people could see anything is simply his playground
