Chapter 76 - 75

Mesha City

"Hey, have you heard of the news?"

"What news?"

"It was said that the Crimsom Magician killed a person inside the City!"

"What? Is that true?"

"Yes, I heard many people talking about it. They said that the Crimson Magician and Blood Angel has been doing that for a long time already

"There are even some saying that those kids sacrificed the people they have killed for more power!"

"No way! That's horrible! You know, my uncle Jim's daughter went missing a few months ago. Could she have been sacrificed by those devilish kids?"

"Poor child, she must have suffered greatly from their hands"

"One look from those kids and I knew they aren't good! People treated them like a shining star but I just knew that they were pure evil!"

"But is it really true? They were unapproachable but they aren't really violent as long as you don't antagonize them

"Oh please,  how could those kids grow in power this fast if they weren't using human sacrifice? They were almost beggars just a year ago"

"Yeah, yeah. I have been an adventurer for more than a decade now. I trained hard and tread the line between life and death but I'm still just a D rank adventurer! If those kids didn't do evil rituals, how could they have that kind of strength?"

The rumors about the Crimson Magician and Bloody Angel spreads quite a bit already. The majority of the city folks have heard about the rumors already

As those two are subjects of the people's envy, the ones that were jealous of them help to fan the flames. They can't wait to knock them down from the pedestal

Humans are really ugly creatures. They can't stand the thought of newcomers and kids decades younger than them being superior

They don't want to see anyone in a better position than them. If they were given a chance, they would surely put dirt on the people they feel jealous of

If they aren't ugly creatures then what is?

In the street, a young girl can be seen running anxiously. She looks like she can't wait to arriver at her destination

Anna can't help but have a smile on her face as she heads to her and her father's home

The woman anxiously opened the door and heavily closed it to go see his father

"Father! Good news, the rumors that we spread are now the talk of the town! A lot of the people inside the city have heard about it already and they seem to believe it, even exaggerating the rumors greatly!

Anna gave the good news to her father that rejoiced with her. Even if the Crimson Magician and Bloody Angel came back, the City Lord might still prevent them from ever entering the city again

There might not be any evidence but too much infamy has a great negative effect. The presence of those two might make the city's citizens uncomfortable. They would live in fear that one day, they would be the next victims

For the sake of the masses, the City Lord would be forced to not accept those two. He might even put them in jail!

This is definitely good news for this pair of father and daughter that previously offended such strong people

"Good! Good! You really are my daughter. You managed to come up with such a brilliant idea!" The doctor said happily, not feeling even the slightest bit of remorse since the two of them just destroyed people's lives

In their eyes, this has to be done. Those two B rank adventurers, even possibly A rank might take revenge on them since the doctor refuses to heal one of them

To keep their lives intact, they can only prevent the kids from ever entering the city again. If they would be imprisoned, that would be even better!

"Hehehehe, I just don't want us to live in fear anymore" Anna humbly replied

The pair of father and daughter were in the midst of celebrating when they suddenly felt a presence

Standing not far from them were two people. One of them has facial features that only angels might have

He has a calming and soothing aura around him as if everything would be okay with his presence

Behind that person was another man clad in white and gold armor. His body was extremely buff, even with his armor,  his large muscles were still visible

These two are Nath, the Son of God and the other one was a high ranking Paladin of the Church

"Hello, may we ask you some questions?" Nath asked gently with a smile. He abruptly appeared in someone else's home without the owners noticing him yet the two can't help but feel comfortable with him

They had an urge to worship and glorify him. It almost feels as if it was just the right thing for him to do to enter another person's home without permission

"Y-yes, you can ask anything you want from us" the doctor replied almost instantly, completely ignoring the fact that these people were illegal trespassers

"We want to know everything you know about the Crimson Magician and Bloody Angel" Nath inquired

With his current power,  he knew that he is no match with his enemy. The Shard of Life and Healing even fell into Reif's hands

With the shard's help, killing him would be extremely hard

If Nath were to mobilize the people of the church which aren't that large in number as the church was only starting to be revived, he might be able to kill Reif

However, the shard made things complicated. Killing the holder of the shard of life and healing is extremely troublesome

For him to have a high chance of succeeding, Nath has to have a great killing power and from what he had experienced, he doesn't have enough of that to kill Reif

Reif might just kill the remaining few people in the church before escaping. Nath cannot allow that as he still has a lot of use for those people

He cannot let them die as the church is only starting to spread once again

For now, the only thing that Nath could do was to investigate and try to find the identity and weaknesses of his enemy

However, the father and daughter duo doesn't know that much too. Almost all the thing they know was something that almost all the city people knows

Nath feels like he wasted his time with these two and he became dissatisfied

"Useless" Nath muttered before sending two beams of light. The beams landed on the bodies of the two, instantly disintegrating their bodies

It was ironic that they spread rumors to prevent Reif and Rhash from killing them but the enemy of their enemies killed them. They might be crying in the afterlife right now

"Go and make sure that the rumors would spread further until the people of other cities heard of it. I want the society to shun them" Nath ordered to his Paladin that bowed his head before accomplishing the task that he had ordered

Nath can only try to slow down Reif's improvement. As of now, there's already a big gap in their power

The only thing he could do was to try to prevent Reif from becoming stronger by making the society go against him

At the same time, Nath planned on rebuilding the church in Mesha City. This would be the starting point

There are a lot of people in the city and people means followers! The more followers the church has, the stronger Nath would become!

——

"Hmm, another special existence has entered the city" Salamander that just opened his eyes again spoke

Nath's arrival in the Mesha City didn't escape his sentence. Just like Reif, he can feel that this newcomer is also a special person and that made him pay some attention to him

Speaking of a special person...

"One" Salamander called out and his faithful servant appeared at the edge of the magic circle around him

"Master" One acknowledged and Salamander immediately asked him a question

"What about the task that I gave you? How is that kid by now?

"Master, he was already a B rank adventurer but his power might have reached the A rank already. Currently,  rumors about him spread inside the city. They said that he was a murderer that sacrificed people for power" One faithfully answered

Since Salamander planned on using Reif as his 'vessel', he naturally paid special attention to him with the help of One

"Rumors eh? Well, he's already an A-rank adventurer. If he could pass this tide, he might become even stronger. By then, he could become my vessel already" the Salamander muttered while his mind returned back to Nath

"If he failed then I think there is still one child I could use as a vessel" Salamander said, pertaining to Nath

"I hope they wouldn't disappoint me.. I want to have my full comeback already. Staying in this gloomy place is not a pleasant experience"
