Chapter 13: Trash Father (2)

While hidden in the eyes of other people, Rhash watched this scene with both anger and pain

He felt like he was the cruelest person in the world. Although this incident is hurting and wounding Reif a lot, Rhash was still glad that it happened early

With this, some of Reif's naivety will vanish, right? This would be a start of him in walking the villain's path, right?

Rhash was seeing the world too much in a negative light. Things seem peaceful now but soon, destiny itself will force Reif to be a villain again

Since that is the case then Rhash wants Reif to be as strong as possible. In this lifetime, Rhash wants the evil to win rather than the hypocritical good!

Despite Rhash feeling that this is a 'necessary' experience, he was still hurt for Reif and angry with Brent

Brent is really such a trash father!

When Reif starts rampaging, Rhash can't take it anymore. He controlled his mana according to the way his instincts told him and a bloody red aura covered his entire body

It can be said that instinctual magic is really a gift for those that don't have proper guidance. It enabled them to roughly learn magic without a mentor

At a fast speed, Rhash suddenly appeared in front of Reif. His blue eyes stared at the kid with warmth

Rhash's sudden emergence causes Reif's eyes to enlarge. Despite the berserk energy around him, his Big Brother was still looking at him with the same warmth as before

"You are not a monster" Rhash turned into Reif's salvation and disregarded the rampaging crimson lightning around the kid

Although Rhash doesn't mind injuring himself for Reif, it would still hurt the latter if he was really grievously injured

Rhash can only crudely protect himself using magic. The bloody red aura around Rhash shielded him from the crimson lightning but due to the immense power that Reif holds, this protection wouldn't last long

"N-no! P-please go away. B-Big Brother I-I don't want to hurt you!" Reif desperately said in a loud voice

Rhash is the only one that doesn't treat him as a monster. How can he hurt him?

Out of desperation and worry, Reif crawled backward so that Reif wouldn't get hurt

Too bad that his desperate crawl is no match for Rhash's speed

Ssshhh

The crimson lightning once again tried to exterminate Rhash but because of the aura around him, it only left some wounds in his body

Seeing that, Reif rapidly shook his head as if he doesn't want to accept the scene in front of him

However, it didn't take that long before a slightly cold body engulf him in a warm hug

The same hug, the same person, the same warmth. Despite hurting his Big Brother, Reif was still engulfed in this familiar hug

With this, Reif wailed louder but as if someone cast magic on him, Reif's mood became better than before

His chaos power withdraws and settled quietly inside him again. There were already a few opened wounds in Rhash's body but he disregarded the pain

Whether it be because his body is superior or he doesn't want to make Reif worried, Rhash managed to ignore the great pain

"I'm here, I'm here. I won't let anyone hurt you" Rhash said as soon he breaks free from the hug to wipe Reif's tears

These were the tears that whoever controlled Reif's destiny has caused. Rhash will never forget the higher being that caused these tears

The more Rhash try to comfort Reif, the more the latter cried. The kid doesn't know what he did to deserve someone as kind as Rhash

However, before the two can find comfort with each other, an unpleasant voice entered their ears

"Who the hell are you?!" Brent asked aggressively. He was wondering who was this idiot that is hugging a monster

Brent's words cause Rhash's countenance to turn cold. Despite the large wounds in his body, Rhash stood up like it was nothing after patting Reif in the head

"Wait here, I'll just teach a trash a lesson" Rhash said with a warm smile but Reif become worried

"B-Big Brother... w-what are you..." Reif was worried but before he can finish his words, Rhash already faced Brent

"A trash like you doesn't need to know who I am!"

The visible large wounds on Rhash intimated the Baron and the servants around. They were thinking about how can he still move freely despite losing so much blood

Physical wounds like this might be fatal to normal humans but to a person that has a Vampire-like body, this is nothing

However, the Baron was only intimidated for a moment before his fury was released

"Preposterous! I am a Noble, how dare a mere peasant call me trash?!" The Baron's face was red from so much anger as he glared at Rhash that was completely unaffected by his anger

"A father that hurts and plans on selling his own son, if a person like that is not a trash then what is?"

The Baron pointed his finger at Rhash while shaking from so much anger. "Y-you..."

"What? Feeling ashamed?" Rhash asked with a sneer

"What's there to be ashamed for? I fed a monster like him -!" Before the Baron can even finish his words, Rhash's body already moves like a cheetah

In no time, Rhash appeared in front of Brent and he immediately grabs the man's collar

"My Reif is not a monster. You are the monster for being so cruel to your own son!" Rhash raged and before anyone can react, his superior strength already threw Brent in the air

Brent's eyes widened in shock but before he can do anything, Rhash already jumped at him

Without the slightest bit of mercy, Rhash moved his legs in the air and gave Brent a heavy kick in the stomach

Rhash's physical prowess was not to be underestimated. Although such movements cause him to bleed more, he doesn't care

Rhash still gave a kick the Baron that is so powerful that the poor man was thrown into the shabby Manor's walls

Soon, a human shape crack was formed in the walls as the Baron was sent flying into it

Brent instantly bled from the impact while his vision was filled with stars

People in this world that cultivated magic has superior bodies compared to humans on earth. This much was not enough to kill the Baron but it surely did a great deal amount of damage

"F-father!" Reif shouted anxiously and he tried to run towards the man but Rhash stops him

With a frown, Rhash asked. "Why are you still worried about him? He hurts you so much!"

Rhash can't understand. Reif was already hurt enough. Why does he need to care for such trash of a father?

Too bad that although this incident hurts Reif a lot, it was still not to the point that he wants his father dead

"B-Big Brother... p-please don't kill Father!" Reif pleaded and his eyes that never stop to shed tears turned even more misty than before

"Why...?" Rhash can't understand. He already showed mercy as he really doesn't plan on killing Brent today but Reif's reaction is the complete opposite of the reaction that he wants

Before Reif can even answer, Brent already recovered a bit but his anger just soared to the sky

"You cough monster! It's not enough that you cough! Killed my wife. You even had another monster to kill me too!" Brent's words were beyond ruthless. He really doesn't see Reif as his son

"Y-you fucking trash!" Rhash cursed and he was about to attack again but Reif holds his wrist

"Big Brother don't... f-father is correct. I-I am a monster... I-I'll go. M-maybe father is just sending me to another place for my own sake. I'll go there so please, stop "

This was Reif's fragile mind of protecting itself... by fooling himself

For his own sake? Rhash wants to laugh at that. It was far from being for Reif's sake. The Baron just wants to earn money and give problems to a family he hated by selling his own son!

"Reif..." Rhash wants to stop him but he once again cursed himself for the thoughts that entered his mind

If today's incident still hasn't shattered Reif's naivety, maybe if he experienced more pain in Baron Garn's family...

Rhash himself shuddered at his own ruthlessness. He was so desperate on making Reif understand how ugly the world is

It comes to the point that he planned on letting the Baron's son try to forcefully take Reif and only save him when the pervert succeeded

Maybe... maybe by then, Reif will understand that this world they are living in is not a kind one

However, Rhash shook his head at that. He can be heavily cruel to other people but not to Reif

Rhash doesn't care if he needs to commit a worldwide bloodbath in the future. But Reif... he can't ever hurt him
