The Villain’s Light - Chapter 88

1 week later

Only after a week later did Rhash regain his consciousness, even after Khaknur had him drink Reif’s blood

To prepare for unforeseen circumstances, Rhash didn’t only take Reif’s blood when he has to ‘eat’

He took some from time to time and condensed them into a solid-state and stored them inside his spatial ring

Rhash has Reif’s blood in his ring and Khaknur also has some. After all, if he were to be unfortunate and got separated from his ‘food’ source, it was only a matter of time before Rhash lose his life

He prepared things for emergency situations and one of them was the condensed blood of Reif

“Master! You’re finally awake!” Khaknur was relieved as soon as his master opened his eyes

As such, the first thing that Rhash saw was his spider slave that has the miniature form of Agui on top of his human head

After regaining his consciousness, Rhash sat up. He felt some soft sensation in his back and that was thanks to the bed that Khakur created with his spider web

The first thing that Rhash searched for as soon as he woke up was naturally Reif. He saw the man lying next to him in an unconscious state

Rhash hurriedly flips the man’s body as he looks at Reif’s back. To his despair, the cursed was still present

The vampire clenches his teeth hard at that as he felt too powerless. God’s Divine Punishment is no joke

It was a curse divine formation that Nath could only create with the help of the God of light. Without the God’s power, even his son would not be able to create kt

Since the curse was created with the help of God, no mortal could hope to remove it. Even if Rhash were to try, not only would he die himself, he would also give the same fate to Reif

The risk was too much for him to try and remove the curse. Rhash would rather die than be the cause of Reif’s death

“Master…” Khaknur hurriedly called out after seeing the state of his master. Rhash was trembling in anger and despair, negative emotions have been overwhelming his mind

“Khaknur stay here and protect Reif. Agui come with me” Rhash ordered as he stood up from the bed. Since Reif is unconscious and he doesn’t know when he would wake up, Rhash has to make sure that they would survive

Reif will wake up. Rhash could only believe that as it was the only thing keeping his mind from completely breaking down

To make sure that no one could interfere with Reif’s battle to the curse, Rhash has to make sure to defeat all enemies that would come

With a cold face on the outside and a heart torn into millions of pieces inside, Rhash walked out of the cave with the frightened Agui’s help

The magma moved in Agui’s body and they didn’t enter the cave nor harm any of them

“Below, we will go to the deepest part of this volcano” Rhash said while pointing his finger below

It gave Agui some idea of ​​what his master wants but he shook his head in the next second. Impossible, his master shouldn’t know about it

As he was given an order, Agui could only part the lava as if he was Moses parting the sea

It didn’t take that long before they arrived at the deepest part of the volcano

They are far deep into the ground and the heavy gravity has been bearing down their bodies

“Master … until when should we go down?” Agui asked unsurely and Rhash gave him a cold look

“I don’t want to hear any question. We will go deeper until I said so”

Agui could only lower his head at that and he kept his mouth shut. The two continued until they reach the deepest part of the volcano

In fact, it might not be appropriate to say that they are below the volcano. They have reached far deeper than the area that the volcano is present from the outside

It can be said that they merely used the volcano as an entrance

The two landed in a solid crystallized ground all thanks to Agui, the magma seems to have been avoiding the both of them, helping them land safely

“Oh, does master wants to take the Agra Ores? They are excellent materials for weapons!”

Agra Ores, these are the ores present in the deepest part of the volcano. It has extreme hardness yet are also very flexible to the point that it was already unbelievable

It was a material that is sought by many people to create their weapons. It’s just that it was hard to get them

Not everyone is Agui that could perfectly control and move magma as if he was merely breathing

Rhash didn’t give an answer and he merely scanned the area with his eyes

He was recalling all the memories of his dreams regarding this place when his eyes locked in a certain area

With no hesitation, Rhash moved as he fist punched the crystallized ground below him

Bang! Crack!

A loud banging sound was soon followed by the appearance of numerous cracks

“M-Master” Agui was surprised at his Master’s actions. Could it be, Rhash really know something?

The ground they were stepping on is not something that was easy to damage even at the level of Rhash

However, this ground has a weak point because of a certain treasure. One of the reasons why Rhash has attacked Agui was to obtain the Agar Ores

He didn’t create weapons for himself or Reif since it would just be detrimental for their strength that is unless they were to use the Agar Cores as the main material

The ores aren’t the only thing though. They could ignore the ores and the herbs they got but that the thing hiding in this place

After the ground was punched by Rhash, a hole appeared and inside it, what it looks like a gem that is filled with magma can be seen

The gem was small. It was just the size of a small kid’s fist but the energy inside it was unbelievably pure

It was much purer than any mana that Rhash has encountered before

“M-master! Y-you can’t take the Vulcan Heart!” Agui cried out and Rhash instantly turned to look at him

“Do I look like someone that needs your permission?” Rhash asked coldly and with a clicked of his fingers, the miniature form of Agui breaks down

The only thing that was left was his core that was trembling hard

“AAAAHHHHH!!!!” The pitiful and pained cries of Agui rang around. With Rhash occupying half of the lava monster’s spirit, he could easily inflict him with great pain

Currently, Reif’s life is in danger. Rhash was forcing himself to believe that Reif would overcome the curse but deep inside him, he was not confident

The most frustrating thing was that he could not help Reif remove the curse even if he badly wants to

The only thing that Rhash could do right now was to get stronger and make sure to protect Reif until he woke up

For him to succeed, he has to get any power that he could get

The Vulcan’s Heart is originally the treasure that would be given to Reif but the circumstances don’t allow that

To increase his power in a short time, Rhash could only use the treasure himself

How could a mere slave as Agui dare to stop him?

“Reif, be safe. I will protect you” Rhash muttered as he took the Vulcan’s Heart in his hand and he instantly sense how the surrounding temperature has dropped

Agui didn’t want Rhash to take the Vulcan’s Heart out of pure greed. There is also a reason for that

The volcanic range is existing all because of the Vulcan’s Heart. Without it, all the magma in this place would cool down. This place would be no different than the volcanoes from Rhash’s previous world

Lava monsters like Agui were created all thanks to the environment. Without the core and the main source of power, no more lava monsters would be born

Agui’s power would also drastically drop since his home advantage would vanish

Even then, Rhash doesn’t care about that. All he wants is to increase his power as much as possible and since the Vulcan’s Heart can definitely help him with that, he doesn’t care what effects it would have if he were to take it

With another click of his fingers, Agui’s face vanishes

“Take me back to the cave” Rhash ordered and the lava monster that only has his core right now can only comply in fear that he would experience that great pain again

The two returned back to their shelter and Rhash didn’t waste any time

“Make sure that Reif would be safe while I’m digesting the Vulcan’s Heart. If something bad were to happen to him, you two should stop hoping that you would continue to live”
