Chapter 63 - 62

Currently, the only thing that Rhash can feel was pure rage. All other thoughts were thrown at the back of his head

Although he haven't seen Nath before nor was he this man's victim, for his Reif to be harmed and abuse by this guy was enough to make him feel endless rage

No mercy is needed and the only thing that matters was killing this bastard. Hence, Rhash didn't hesitate to burn a huge amount of his blood to explode with a power superior to his previous selves

In a flash, Rhash's sharp long nails already appeared extremely close to the Paladin's face

Due to how shocked he was, Nath wasn't able to do anything about that. Rhash's sharp nails would have broken through his skin, flesh, and even bones if the automatic defense that he has wasn't activated

Rhash met a strong resistance and no matter how he badly wanted to pierce a hole into this man's face, he was still stopped by that force

Rhash can't advance his hand for even just a centimeter

This automatic barrier is a blessing from God, Nath's father, and creator. It would enable him to save his life from assassins and fatal enemy attacks

However, such an overpowered defense also has its own flaw and for this one's case, the flaw would be the cool down time

Currently, Nath's defense can only be used once a year. Since Rhash made him use it, if Nath doesn't increase his power, it would take a whole year before he would have the automatic defense blessing again

Well, Nath didn't expect that Rhash would be this fierce. Who would expect that such an angelic-looking person would do something like this?

He attacked Nath without even as much as a simple word. Well, Nath is not someone that can dodge since he also tried on doing the same with Khaknur earlier

With the help of his blessing as the Son of God, Nath managed to get away from a life-threatening situation

He regained his calm after seeing Rhash's appearance and he moved backward

However, it wasn't even that long when he moves away when Rhash already launched himself at him for the second time

Rhash continued trying to use his bloody claw but Nath already erected a light screen in front of him

There is a reason why Rhash has the title 'Bloody Angel'

His face was akin to that of an angel and the aura around him was completely blood red in color

That was the meaning of his nickname on the surface but others know that the 'Bloody' part was used because every time that Rhash fought someone, it would result in his enemies being left in a blood state

Since Rhash mostly uses his magic to increase his physical power, every fight that he battled on was really bloody

However, that was just what people know as Rhash don't want the full extent of his power to be known by everyone

But this time, things are different. Rhash doesn't need to hide anything

In fact, he should even use everything he has if it means he can eliminate Nath from the picture this much early

The collision between the light screen and fist resulted in a loud 'banging sand'. It sounds like someone just hit a sheet of metal

Rhash's blow was powerful enough that the excess force from it pulverized the ground below them

It was like an earthquake appeared due to the violent shaking that just happened

"Who are you?" Nath asked curiously. He was sure that Rhash is not his nemesis

Nath would be able to feel it if Rhash is his nemesis but he didn't sense any of that. It means that Rhash is not an enemy

Rhash might have only been angered because he was friends with Khaknur

That is the most plausible explanation but ... Nath can feel the way Rhash was looking at him

It was pure rage, extreme rage. The rage was much higher than it should have been even if Nath did attack Khaknur earlier

As much as possible, Nath doesn't want to be enemies with such an angelic-looking person as Rhash

If he were to recruit and convert Rhash into the believer of the church, that would really be wonderful

"I am ... the one that swears to kill you!" Rhash answered with bloodshot eyes. His expression was extremely savage despite his angelic looks

It doesn't suit his face at all as it makes him terrifying

Rhash doesn't care about that though. The only thing he can feel is anger and he would act upon it!

Rhash continued his actions. One punch after another was sent by him all with the intent to kill

However, Nath made one magic screen after another that soon shattered thanks to Rhash's heavy beating

At first, Nath was in a passive state. As much as possible, he doesn't want to be Rhash's enemies

He tried to convince Rhash but Nath can feel that this guy would never forgive him although he doesn't know why is that the case since he doesn't remember ever meeting this guy

For now, the only thing that Nath can do was to subdue Rhash!

From being in the passive state, Nath started fighting back. He brandished his Holy Sword and he met Rhash's fist with it

Thanks to the bloody aura surrounding Rhash's body, the Holy Sword wasn't able to harm it ... at first

The bloody aura diminishes greatly and Rhash experiences a scorching pain in his hand

It was like his hand was exposed to the sun as it soon got burned

Nath doesn't want to harm such a perfect body but he doesn't have any choice in this matter

He can only continue to attack Rhash until he could subdue him

However, Rhash already learned his lesson. Instead of meeting Nath's special sword head-on, Rhash created a bloody pole

He wields the pole with his tiny hands and heavily smashed it towards Nath

His physique might look small and frail but that is far from being the case!

Rhash exploded with power that even a hundred men wouldn't have. The heavy sound of winds being struck rang around and in the next moment, one sword and one pole met each other, resulting in a terrifying explosion of power

In the past year, Rhash already developed some fighting styles. Most of his power comes from his great physical strength

Instead of using swords that was suited for slashing, thrusting, and such, Rhash decided that blunt weapons would be better

But since his body is small compared to others, he cannot use a hammer and he ended up using a pole

This time, Rhash wasn't harmed by the collision. But even then, the power he sustained to his pole significantly diminishes

It was like the power he poured on mysteriously disappeared

Rhash can remember that is the power that Nath's holy sword contained. It can weaken the attack of the enemies that it blocks

It was a very troublesome weapon, especially since it was basically indestructible even with Reif's power at his peak

It doesn't mean that there is nothing you can do on the wielder of such a sword. One possible way to win was to have an immense gap in power

However, if the two of you are roughly on the same level, the only way to win was by using speed!

The sword's ability can only take effect if it made direct physical contact with the foe's attack

If not, it was nothing but a sword

With that in mind, Rhash increases his speed. His figure seems to vanish from his original position and reappeared behind Nath

Rhash tried to use his pole to attack but since Nath is also a wielder of light magic, his speed was also top-notch!

Nath can catch up to Rhash's movements and he doesn't even find it that hard. Since he could do that, Rhash's speed attack was meaningless

Once again, Nath's sword parried Rhash's pole, eating up quite a significant chunk of the pole's power

If this goes on, Rhash would run out of juice before he can even injure Nath since he was already burning his blood since earlier

Rhash ... he was actually this weaker compared to Nath? If he and Reif have roughly the same level of power, wouldn't Reif also be powerless in front of Nath?

This can't be! In the original timeline, Reif is stronger than Nath in a one on one battle

If the power scale is reversed and add that to Nath's current and future followers ....

This wouldn't do, Rhash really cannot let this man survive even for just another day

With that in mind, Rhash's attacks became even more frenzied. His pole never stops trying to land a blow on Nath that simply uses his sword to party

Rhash's power continues to diminish while there wasn't that much of an energy expenditure from Nath's side

From the spectators, it was easy to see who will win and who will lose
