The Villain’s Light - Chapter 35

No matter what happens, Rhash absolutely can never get behind Reif. In various stories, it was not rare for a minor side character to be in danger because of how weak they were

Once the minor character was put in a dangerous situation, the main character would always suffer to help save that person

Rhash cannot let anyone harm Reif because of his weak prowess. He was confident that Reif will rapidly grow stronger therefore, he also needs to grow exponentially!

“It’s you that needs to be worried about yourself. You can’t lag behind me, your Big Brother is also talented, alright?”

With that, Reif’s eyes brightened. True, his big brother is very very very very talented! The bad situation in his mind certainly wouldn’t happen!

“Okay! Reif won’t lag behind no matter what!”

Reif has been saved by Rhash multiple times already. He cannot let the same thing happen over and over again. It should be him that will thread the dangers for his big brother

“Eh? What’s this? Why do I feel like I became ignored? Aren’t I the star as their tutor?” Khaknur repeatedly blinked his eyes

In his imagination, his new master should have been in awe at how much he knew about magic

It may not look like it but although he was dumb at a lot of areas, in terms of magical knowledge, he is smart

After all, except for making sure that he has enough minions and also incubators, most of his time is free time

His spiders are self proficient and they can hunt for themselves. Because they are small in size, even with their large number, they don’t need an extravagant amount of food

The spiders also eat plants, grass, and vegetables. In fact, the reason why this cave became Khaknur’s turf was because it grows a certain type of moss that grew quickly even with little to no sunlight and a little bit of water

It was certainly unpalatable and might even cause a human to get sick but the spiders are different. They don’t need to eat anything tasty nor they would have an upset stomach

Thus, Khaknur always devoted his time to researching magic. It’s not like only humans have magical knowledge and market for that, monsters also have those things!

Khaknur’s plan to become an excellent slave in his master’s eyes failed as the two easily grasps his teachings

Of course, understanding theories and using them in real life are two completely different things

It would still take some time for the two to completely master magic even if they want that to happen right this instance no matter how talented they were

More than a year later

“Hey, isn’t that the Crimson Magician and Bloody Angel?”

“Yes, I think so. Look at their demeanor, they really feel more mature even though they are young”

“They should only be around 17 and 16 years old, right?”

“That’s what I heard but it certainly doesn’t look like it”

“You bet! Around a year ago, I saw both of them. I wouldn’t be able to forget it as that time, the Bloody Angel is severely injured and the Crimson Magician desperately went to a doctor for treatment. Too bad that at that time, they don’t have any money in them and the doctor refuses to give treatment. In anger, the Crimson Magician almost attacked the doctor if the Bloody Angel didn’t stop him! Who would have thought that they would become such strong adventurers in just more than a year? ”

A lot of people in Mesha City has already heard about the existence of two adventurers that were considered rising stars

The Crimson Magician and Bloody Angel gained a lot of fame in the last year. They were just kids but they were climbing the ranks of adventurers in rocket speed

By now, both of them are already B-rank adventurers. That is already considered powerful

After all, A-Rank adventurers were rare and even more so for those that exceed that rank

B rank adventurers can already raise their heads in public as very few people would antagonize them

“Then aren’t they too barbaric? Come to think of it, isn’t it abnormal that they grew this strong in a short period of time? Maybe they performed forbidden magic that required human bodies as sacrifices to have the power they have now. Since they have violent tempers, that shouldn’t have been impossible, right? ”

One person from the crowd voices out earning agreements from the others

Humans are jealous creatures. Some of them would be amazed to see people rising into the clouds but there are also a lot that would be jealous to the point that they want to smear dirt in other people’s name

Such a meteoric rise in power is not often seen indeed. This makes people wonder if the two really performed forbidden magic that uses innocent people in sacrifice to get to where they are now

“That bastard!” Reif heard that man’s words causing him to feel anger. If it was just him, he wouldn’t mind receiving such slanders. However, that man also insulted his Big Brother, how could he take this insult easily?

“Reif, language” Rhash said helplessly. In more than a year that he became Reif’s guardian, the originally naive kid has changed a lot

Reif is not as clueless as before any more thanks to Rhash’s tutelage. He even learned how to curse

Well, that was mostly because of Rhash’s mistake. It wasn’t an exaggeration when he said the world is against Reif

In the past year, they encountered a lot of ‘small fries’ in Mesha City that makes Reif’s life hard in the original timeline

Every time that happens, Rhash wouldn’t be able to stop himself from cursing. And of course, he also makes sure to pay them back for their wrongdoings

Because of that, Reif picked up Rhash’s cursing. The once angelic and innocent kid now curses on almost a daily basis!

This makes Rhash feel as if he led Reif astray

“But big brother, he said such mean words towards you! How could I let him?!” Reif asked as if he was wronged

In the past year, if there is a distinct trait that Reif has it would be his overprotectiveness towards Rhash

They met a lot of dangers along the way and at first, Rhash were always put into danger and he also always need to think of the solution

As a result, Reif grew too protective as if anything would hurt Rhash. His dependency grew to the point that it was already too much

It’s not like Rhash was complaining, that dependency makes him happy as he is someone that Reif needs

It’s just that, at times, Reif’s emotions got the best of him. Rhash always trained him to always restrained his emotions in circumstances that he must not explode

However, as long as it was something that affects Rhash, he wouldn’t be able to control himself at all. And that is a source of Rhash’s headache

“Just stay there, I can’t let you beat people in public. I’ll handle this”

The two already have such an image, getting violent in public is a no-no. Rhash doesn’t really care about reputation that much

However, having infamy at this stage is not good. Rhash and Reif can still get a lot of benefits from human society, they can’t be banished from it

Reif still wants to protest but Rhash gave him the look. A look that said that he couldn’t interfere

In fear that it would make his big brother angry, Reif can only grit his teeth and once again let Rhash take care of the matter

With large strides, Rhash walks towards the man that just slandered him and his little gem

He too was angered by that statement but he can restrain his emotions better than Reif. He certainly wouldn’t lose control and beat this man in public

“W-what do you want?” The man asked nervously. Although they are in public he still was afraid that Rhash would beat him up

“Why are you so tense?” Rhash asked with an angelic smile and he even placed his hands on top of the man’s flinching shoulders

In the past year, Rhash’s features have matured a little but he still looks like an innocent angel

He has the face that looks as if he wouldn’t be able to kill even an ant even though things are far from being like that

His silky white hair grew long. Although he wants to cut it short he decided to let it grow a bit longer, only to the point that he can place the front hair into his back and tie it

After all, Rhash can’t have it grow too long as it will interfere in battles. He can only grow it to that point for Reif’s enjoyment

His large blue eyes were also vibrant and glowing brilliantly. It was like a beautiful whirlpool that can hypnotize people

The only thing that makes Rhash dissatisfied with his body growth was the height part. Reif is now taller than him even though that wasn’t the case only a year ago!
