Chapter 177: Chapter 175: System god again
Rein exchanged location with Aurora, and met himself outside, on the mountain.
’Looks like Aurora had wandered here.’
He looked around and saw the after-effect of the explosion that just happened he immediately ran towards the area.
On stopping he confirmed what he had earlier suspected. He looked to the ground only to see Zearus lying on the floor.
’What could have happened...?’ He wondered.
Zearus coughed blood and struggled to get up but Marie stretched forth her hand and he was pressed into thw ground, he coughed more blood.
"Don’t you dare try to play smart with me." Marie said.

{There is a faint presence of Tiamat}
{Erase the presence to prevent future interference}
’...Bahamut’s arch-enemy...’
He looked at her and questioned her, "...what happened to you?"
"It’s the poraimmon, since you couldn’t get it for me! Someone else did. You too can feel it right, the enormous powers that’s surging out of me, it’s power of the draconic deity of destruction. No one would normally get the chance to taste a deity’s power but I worked hard for this, you almost blew it up but its okay, since I have it now. I can finally out a stop to this shit..." she looks around, "...where is Hagar?!!"
"Maybe dead by now", ’Well considering that he’s fighting Azes, it shouldn’t have taken a minute or maybe two’
"Tsk... I wanted to kill him with my hand. It’s good anyways" she stabbed through Zearus from his back and raised him up.
Rein watched her, ’...this is the same scenery, but things were not suppose to be like this, and Jon is not here yet’
Just that moment Jon, Ellifis, Dugnis and Ellofis’s vampire summon arrived.
Rein’s eye widened as he saw them, ’...he’s in good condition, the guy that stabbed the white-haired guy too is this old man and is being subdued by the second leader, does that mean I changed the future. Probably if I haven’t interfered they wouldn’t have been able to reach this point. But what do I do about Ariel’s warning to erase the Tiamat’s presence...I really don’t want to unnecessarily make things complicated than they already are...’ Rein was confused and battled in his mind what he should really do, whether to leave Marie or kill her and erase Tiamat’s presence.
Finally Jon came very close that he could see him, Jon ran to him and jumped but he moved sideways and let Jon fall flat on the floor. Looking at him, Dugnis scoffed, "that must be the leader he was always running on about."
"Oho... are you jealous" Ellifis teased him.
"Why would I be?" He scoffed, "it would have just been very great if he could be my subject instead"
"...hahaha... very funny Dugnis, look at that young man. What do you see?" Ellfis face suddenly became serious the moment he asked the question.
’...what’s with the sudden mood...’ Dugnis looked and observed Rein, "...a really tall, white skin, black hair, deep eyes, he looks like a playboy"
Ellifis smiled and immediately stiffened his face again, "...if I fight that man in my state, my victory is less than 40%"
"...huh" Dugnis first looked dumbfounded but soon laughed out, " you are joking right, you must be joking, can you see he’s uniform, he’s even a rank below me and yet out of seventy-three fights with you I only won thrice. So how will you not be able to be-"
"Dugnis"
He shut his mouth immediately as he saw Ellifis facial expression, "...you really are serious"
"Yes, you can’t beat him either, my advice for you is don’t make him your enemy, if not for you dreams and pursuit, I would advise that you become one of his man, he is a very strong man, and judging from what you just said, he’s still in the academy"
"Yes" Dugnis gulped.
"First Jon, then you, now again... this young man. Makes me really want to see the generation of monsters the academy would be releasing this time around." Ellfis smiled.
"Wow, how are you here?" Jon asked.
"Well that is the second leader whom I’m with..." Rein pointed to Marie who was still punching Zearus face and the face was all covered in blood. "...I came with her"
Marie looked at Rein, "...is he using me as an excuse...hmm well... technically I got him here, so he’s not wrong" she continued to punch Zearus.
Jon kept smiling, it disturbed Rein so much because he just kept smiling and smiling.
"Why the hell are you smiling?!"
"I can feel it" Jon smiled even harder and made a goofy face.
"Feel what?" Rein asked.
"You have gotten stronger, you have even put up more muscles, look at how you look in your uniform, you look sor sexy, before I left, you were looking thin, but it looks like you got a new body, your aura too, it’s stronger, judging by what I’m feeling you have completed aura manifestation. Tell me how many forms have you materialized. Ha ha ha, I’m so glad, I’m so glad" Jon kept going around him and touched him as he joyfully talked very fast.
Suddenly a golden light fell on them and someone was revealed, all of them could not deny the presence all of them fell face flat on the floor including Ellifis who gritted his teeth continuously, ’Dammit we got carried away.’
Including Jon, Dugnis, every single person bowed, except Reinard, who was really angry at sight of whom he saw, he stretched forth his hand as Jon continuously pulled his trousers, trying to signal him to bow down, but Rein paid no attention.
"It’s a waste of time trying to talk to you" Rein stretched for his second hand, "Sun of Ra"
A large ball of fire appeared above the god that just arrived. Even with the ball of fire above his head, he still criticized Rein.
"Ah..ah...ah... this bastard bug, you managed to survive. Well there’s not much you can’t do, I bet you are not even half strong as you wer- ..." he paused, ’Where is this heat coming from?...’ he slowly looked up and saw the large fireball above his head.
"...what?... Ra... why would Ra, a northern god attack a western god like mineself...’ he looked forward. ’...don’t tell me...’
"Die" Rein released his tightened fist, the fireball dropped on the system god and caused a very large explosion that dissipated the whole mountain and cave to the ground level and all in ruins but it seemed Rein had used his aura to protect everyone there, including Marie.
After a while, everything began to clear and Jon ran to Rein where he stood.
"Did..dd-..did you just attack a god?!!"
"...he was the one... I talked about that ruined me?"
"the god that almost killed you?"
"Yes"
"The one that separated you to a different dimension"
"Yes"
Rein looked at Jon whose mouth was open.
"Rein"
"Yes?"
"Was there any point where you were actually a spoilt rich brat, or you had been hiding your existence from the beginning"
"I was not a spoilt rich brat, you all concluded that on your own and there’s nothing special about my existence. But as you know, I was foolish, I was greedy... even looking back I was also a coward towards Kain... using pity as an excuse for my cowardice..."
"I don’t know who Kain is but you must’ve really been through a lot... to be able to attack Halphas, the messenger of the higher pantheon"
"Wait, Halphas...?"
"Yes that was, Halphas... the blonde hair, the muscled body, I should have known when you mentioned sentinel. Of course it’s Halphas"
"...tchi whatever, or whoever he is, I don’t care. I will personally kill him"
"...didn’t you already."
"No... he escaped."
Jon was awed, "Wow...as expected of a god, he managed to escape with that large explosion"
Rein looked at him, "if you do that I’m really finding it hard to know who you are supporting."
"Forgive me, it will always be you of course."
Ellifis a Dugnis approached them, then Ellfis spoke, "I knew you were strong, but I never thought you were this much, to be able to look into the face of a god. Perhaps you are what this world has been searching for" Ellfis smiled and stretched his hand forward.
"I’m Ellifis, the former first leader"
Dugnis looked at him, confused, "former"
"Yes..." Ellifis smiled at Dugnis, "...since.you defeated me in battle, I guess you just won the first leader seat for yourself and moreso, you are the first in history to become a union leader while you are still a student"
’...wow... he defeated the first leader, I do feel some vampirism from him, but a weird and unsettling feeling comes with it’ Rein looked at Dugnis.
Ellifis smiled, ’he’s already knowing all of Dugnis, just by looking at him... I’m curious about him, I want to fight him... but I can’t be too greedy... I have to go back home to Ara’
Dugnis bowed deeply in a jiffy the moment Rein turned to greet him, "excuse me sir!! I’m Dugnis sir!! A vampire!! From the same school sir!!"
’...what is with the sir...’ Rein just closed his eyes and smiled as Dugnis kept shaking his hand and bowing.
𝑻𝒉𝒌𝒓𝒂𝒔𝒉
All of them looked sideways. Marie came out from where she was buried by large stones by pushing away the stones, she was dirty but un-injured.
She walked towards Rein, "you bastard thanks to you Zea- " she suddenly paused and stopped walking when she got closer to Rein and saw his eyes.
She looked away, "...he escaped"
"What?" Ellifis exclaimed, "he still managed to escape?"
"Halphas took him"
"Dammit!!" He gritted his teeth and tightened his fist.
𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒑!!
Debris scattered around with dust as there was another landing.
’What is it again?’ Rein thought.
The dust smoke cleared and Ben was revealed, on his knees with Rosalia who seemed to have pass out, he was holding her with one of her legs.
"I met her trying to run away, my lord"
"...aha... I totally forgot. Thank you very much Ben"
Everyone looked at what was happening, unable to ask questions, even Jon who was good at reading atmosphere knew for sure it was not the right time to ask questions.
Rein smiled and faced Ellifis, "well if you don’t mind I’ll be taking her, since I was the one that defeated her"
Ellifis gulped, "sure"
Rein smiled, "Thank you"
That instance another pillar fell to the ground.
