You're sweating a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azariah turned to look at her. He could clearly see concern in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you even care for me?\" he whispered softly as he walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't reply but just quietly looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind swirled with many thoughts, but she couldn't convey them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she could do was look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nobody cares about you,\" she grumbled softly, slapping his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, you are wrong,\" Azariah replied with a light shrug, rubbing his arm. \"...A lot of people care about me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I see,\" she whispered as they arrived at the orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aimar stood at the entrance, leaning against the wall while looking at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is she doing here?\" he asked, glancing at Arianell. \"...Better yet, what the fuck is going on inside the forest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some ritual,\" Azariah replied as he walked toward him. \"Are you ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are we going to fight?\" he asked, his voice tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not we,\" Azariah replied as he walked inside the orphanage. \"It's just you two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you going then?\" Arianell asked while he moved toward a bench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going nowhere,\" he replied as he sat down on the bench. \"I just need to do something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like what?\" she asked, but Azariah didn't reply. Instead, he closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the time he saw the weapon lodged in Molech's rib, he couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was barely recognizable, but as soon as he started to focus, it slowly became clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden thread slowly materialized from his heart, moving toward the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like he's busy,\" Aimar whispered as he glanced at Arianell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can see that, idiot,\" she grumbled softly as she turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body flinched slightly as she looked up; the eye that had been following them was now floating above the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So we have to take care of an eyeball?\" Aimar mumbled as he looked up. \"...That's easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as he finished his words, the 'eye' screamed before other parts of its body started to materialize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It became a giant creature resembling a jellyfish, its tentacles extending in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Fuck,\" he cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next time, keep your mouth shut,\" Arianell grumbled as she readied herself while the creature levitated down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within the forest, a figure floated above it, hands clasped behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze looked down on the altar that was prepared to burn down the children in his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Fourteen years,\" Molech whispered, clenching his fist, his voice filled with anger. \"...I've been waiting fourteen years for this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind reminded him of the time he got defeated by a mere mortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ragnar,\" he growled as he looked at the broken staff levitating. \"...I will take my revenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bull-like head moved up as he looked at the moon glowing in the sky. \"....I will bathe in the blood of your family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molech blinked as he felt the air around him suddenly become thick and heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shimmering wave of light appeared around him, turning everything grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took him only a split second to recognize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....A sub-space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He calmly yet confusingly looked around until he felt a presence behind, making him turn around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How have you been?\" El asked, 'looking' at Molech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....Who are you?\" Molech asked as he looked at him, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molech couldn't sense a single drop of mana from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a mortal has mana in his body, yet—.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pitch-black eyes widened as he took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Impossible,\" he whispered, his voice filled with confusion. \"Aren't you dead!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El smiled softly as he stepped forward, his every step regal, showing utmost confidence. \"When Azariah asked politely, you should have just let them go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you alive!?\" he yelled, his face contorted with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't matter, Molech,\" El replied, his voice slowly turning cold. \"You won't be alive long enough to worry about that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molech roared in anger, his voice coming out like a crazed scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world around him twisted, and a blazing ruin of an ancient civilization started to emerge around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the buildings, either half or fully collapsed, were burning in flames that looked eternal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge pillar extended from the middle of the ruin, carved with runic symbols, and at the top of it stood Molech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El looked at his 'kingdom' curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like every other demigod, Molech could manifest his 'kingdom' in reality where he could rule and change the 'Concept of his element' like a god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you find a way to come back from absolute death?\" Molech asked, looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze soon turned from anger to greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming back from absolute death is impossible, and if he could get that power...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You still haven't changed a bit,\" El commented as he 'looked' at him, \"greedy as ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up!\" Molech yelled as he raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The runes on the pillars glowed softly before figures started to emerge from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had human-like features, wearing ancient armor, their bodies burning with crimson flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their crimson eyes fixed on El as they slowly walked on the ancient road toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to fight like this?\" Molech asked, looking at El, who stretched his body a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't need my 'kingdom' to win against you, bullhead,\" El replied with a light smirk on his handsome face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molech snorted as his 'servants' started to rush toward El.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor's time,\" he whispered, his voice echoing through the howling of the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bent his body slightly before vanishing from his place, arriving at the center of the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body twisted slightly, dodging the axe lodged toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grabbing the arm, El gently pressed his palm on the enemy's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blazing chest turned to dust, leaving a massive hole in its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El moved again, his body vanishing, his palm gently touching their chests as he killed all the guards one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you doing this on purpose?\" he asked as he looked up at Molech. \"Your pathetic guards can't even touch me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up!\" Molech yelled as he raised his hand again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pillar glowed again, and the next instant, an unimaginably huge crimson serpent emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It slowly glowed with blazing crimson as its scaly body slipped toward the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El looked at the serpent, whose one-third of the body raised up, its jaw gaping, showing its white teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serpent moved, coiling its body around a collapsed building as it hissed toward El.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an unimpressed look, El moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serpent howled, opening its mouth wide in the air to bite El, who had just arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El twisted his body; the serpent's mouth rushed past him at an alarming speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twisting mid-air, he kicked the side of the serpent, a low 'booming ' sound echoed as the serpent's body fell on the ancient road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El smiled as the serpent got up, shaking its head to remove the confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hissed, opening its mouth; flames emerged, engulfing him entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El walked through the crimson flames nonchalantly as he 'rejected' the damage to his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serpent rushed toward him, mouth wide open, ready to crush him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El walked closer to its gaping jaw, raising his hand up, stopping the huge serpent in its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twist,\" he whispered, and in the next instant, the serpent's body contorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its tail started to twist, slowly shredding its body; wounds started to cover it, blood and flesh mingled, and even the bones became visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its dying cry reverberated throughout the ancient place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El's smile turned into a grin as nothing was left of the serpent's body except pooling blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Sigh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting out a sigh, El looked up at Molech, who had a grim look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards and serpent alone were enough to annihilate a small kingdom, but they didn't even last a minute in front of this monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough playing around, bullhead,\" El said as his body slowly levitated above the ground. \"Let's end this quickly, shall we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrogant peasant,\" Molech whispered as he raised his hand again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, before the pillar could glow and another 'servant' could emerge, El whispered, \"Inverse reality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Molech let out a startled sound as he felt something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he tried to use the pillar to call out his 'servant,' nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pillar glowed backward, and instead of summoning, it took in the previous dead summon back inside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the 'flow' of the pillar had reversed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His instinct screamed at him to move as El arrived beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped back to dodge the punch, but instead, his legs moved 'forward.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punch connected right on his jaw, sending him flying toward a nearby building, crashing hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah, it's been so long since I used this,\" El whispered as he floated toward Molech, who tried to remove the debris around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took him a few seconds to stand back on his feet, as all his 'actions' had been reversed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landing on the ground, El walked toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molech glared at him, flames rose around his body as he changed the 'concept' of the surrounding flames, making them an absolute defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El's body blurred again as he bent his torso to kick Molech, but the flames stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molech grinned as he slowly started to get a hang of his reversed actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Millennia of living helped him do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without resting, El continued to kick him, but the defense stopped him from doing so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molech's confidence grew as he grinned widely at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give up!\" he yelled, glaring at El. \"Within my kingdom, I am absolute!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without replying, El grinned as he raised his hand before touching Molech's burning chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bulge appeared on Molech's back as his body flew at unimaginable speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slamming against the concrete walls of his own kingdom, he finally stopped at the tenth wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!?\" he yelled, confusion etched on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind couldn't comprehend how his defense had been broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bent his waist as he let out a fit of violent coughs, blood dripping down his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arghh.\" He groaned in pain as he fought the aftermath of El's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames around him rose again as he changed their 'concept' from burning to healing, making his injuries start to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he began to recover, El arrived beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How?\" he asked as he looked down at El, his body towering but due to his state, he didn't look like the bigger man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It's impossible to harm me in my own 'kingdo—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words abruptly halted as he let out a crazed scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze moved toward his ribs, where a weapon was always lodged, but now it wasn't there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like he succeeded,\" El whispered softly, looking toward his side where a weapon flew out of his sub-space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How!?\" Molech yelled, his body screaming in pain. \"How can someone control his weapon!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, tsk, poor guy,\" El mocked as he looked at him. \"Always left with confusion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molech yelled as he changed the 'concept' of his flames to absolute attack, wrapping it around his hand and punching El.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon his expression turned into confusion as it didn't have any effect on El.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood there without flinching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How?\" Molech asked, looking at him in utter confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just die with that doubt,\" El said, and in the next instant, the world around Molech crumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unbearable pressure crushed him and his 'kingdom' from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His internal organs started to rupture, his breathing turned ragged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"STOP!!\" he yelled, glaring at El.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El grinned, and instead of stopping, he walked toward him, the pressure around Molech increasing even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ARGHH!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He growled in pain as his body slowly started to disintegrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>El let out a small yet manic laugh as he watched Molech's body turn to pulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, El stood in front of him with a huge grin on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thunderous sound echoed, followed by eerie silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing left of Molech, his blood splattered around the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Sigh.\" El sighed as the grey world around him slowly started to disintegrate. \"He thought I would fight him without my kingdom. What a dumbass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sub-space around him disintegrated as he returned to the normal world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh.\" He let out another tired sigh as he turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....There she stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sword in her hand and a silver crown floating right above her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...Esmeray looked at El with her lifeless grey eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>",2144,"2026-06-05T21:29:08.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","b21ba5c2a175e916a95b7f3e32032f8e5317431abfff08f99eff1596044c78bc","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-230","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-228",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
