This time, Reif thoroughly investigated why the Baron did such a thing. It turns out Baron Kar was desperately trying to create as many potions as possible to 'donate' to the Dark Heart Sect
This was to Reif's delight and another man was formulated in his mind. Although this would require another bloodshed
Since the Baron was in seclusion, the only people in the Manor were the servants and guards
Those servants only use magic for their everyday use like creating fire easier or drinking their own water. They simply don't have any fighting power
Even the guards weren't that powerful. They were mostly 2nd circle rank mages. And there is only one 3rd circle mage that is also the captain of guards
It wouldn't be a problem for Reif to dispose of them. Since the Baron ordered that no one should disturb him even if the skies fall down, Reif can easily massacre all the servants
These servants wouldn't dare report things to the Baron. While thinking of that, Reif went to find some wood and he puts his palm on it
"[Remodel!]" Reif muttered and with his exceptional mana control, he was able to easily create a mask
Remodel might be a magic that doesn't have fighting power even after requiring such precise mana control but it still has a lot of practical use
As long as the user's mana control is skillful, they can change the shape of things. Well, of course, the more special an item, the harder it is
Reif took the mask and wear it on his face. Even if he has confidence in massacring the servants and guards, it still wouldn't be good if his face was seen
No matter what, Kar is still a Noble. Not to mention, he is even a member of the Dark Heart Sect
Although killing Kar would make the Sect investigate, Reif can still give trouble to the man as long as he doesn't kill the Baron
In this world, there were magics that can be used to identify the culprit of a crime. Reif can't easily kill Kar as long as he still doesn't have the strength yet
With a mask on his face, Reif immediately started his massacre. He hid in the Manor and attacked those who are alone or don't have many people with them
Reif conjured leaves that were as sharp as metals and he uses them to slit the throat of his targets
The Manor's servants fell one by one. At first, no one discovered it as Reif starts attacking servants in places that don't have many people
However, when more and more people died, it was bound that they would be discovered
It didn't take that long before the Manor was alerted but it was already too late
More than half of the servants are already dead. Those that are trying to inform the guards were even killed in their way
Although there were some that managed to successfully pass the message, both the servant and guards were still killed
With Reif's sneak attack and the weak power of the enemies, he almost wipes out all the people in the Manor before he was discovered
This time, he was facing a group of five people. They were the only ones that have fighting prowess
Among them was the 3rd circle mage and the rest were weaker by a single circle
Their bloodshot eyes stared at Reif as if they can't wait to swallow him alive
"Bastard! How dare you massacre people in the Baron's Territory?!" The guard captain shouted loudly
"How dare you follow a despicable person" Reif barked back coldly
Reif never considered himself a good person. If his goal required him killing people he would still do it
However, he wasn't the type of person that will abuse anyone just because he wants to
If a person doesn't have anything to do with him, he would just ignore them. However, Kar is completely different
That person did a lot of evil deeds. Whether it be r*pe, torture, and killing, he did it all just because he wants to not because he needs to
If the person at the top is rotten then those who decided to be their servants are also rotten
Reif doesn't like hypocritical people like this that will act righteously even though there were already a lot of evil deeds that were done through their hands
"Bastard! Kill him!" The captain urge and all of them attack Reif at once
Two of the guards threw burning balls of fire at Reif while the other fired wind bullets
The captain on the other hand created a metal sword from magic that he coated with fire
"[Haste!]" The captain muttered and his speed exploded
Reif also cast [Haste] in himself while his eyes watched all the attacks flying at him
"[Fire Sword]" fiery energies gathered in Reif's hand and it assumed the shape of a sword
He runs around to pull some distance between him and the enemies but the wind bullets that have the fastest speed still reaches him
In return, Reif swung his sword and the wind bullets were dispersed. Those bullets might have come from 2nd circle mages like him but his power is superior
Dispelling the wind bullets only causes some delay. The captain continued running towards Reif while fireballs were flying in his side
The captain was about to reach Reif but the kid's casting speed was much faster than he anticipated
"[Tremor!]" Reif slammed his feet and the ground below the captain shook a bit that ruined his balance
Due to Reif's experiences in his past world, there was a plethora of magic in his arsenal. He can use almost every magic possible out there
Too bad that the magic Reif specializes in the past was quite taxing and he currently can't use them
He can only use basic elemental and non-elemental magic
After disrupting the balance of his enemy, Reif threw the fire sword in the air. The sword immediately releases the fire used to create it and a stream of fire spreads
The fireballs were canceled by the stream of fire and the remaining energy even continued towards the captain
The 3rd circle mage has stronger than the other guards though and he easily dispelled Reif's attack
"[Burning Thrust!]" The captain muttered as more fire elemental energies were fed to his sword
A crimson red light traveled in the air as the captain charges at Reif with the intention to thrust his sword at him
Even though the [Haste] of a 3rd circle mage should be stronger than a 2nd circle mage, that is not always the case
The magic circles only provided raw power. If the mage was skillful enough, they can still make their magic stronger than their rank
Such was the case for Reif and he had equal speed with the captain. Not to mention, he was even more skillful in combat
"[Gale Palm!]" Reif gathered mana in his palm and thrusts it in the air. A blow of wind was sent into his enemy
If Reif blindly threw this magic at the captain, he still wouldn't be able to stop his charge attack
However, Reif's target was the captain's calf. His goal was to disrupt the man's movement and he succeeded
The captain felt severe pain in his knee and he was forced to stop his attack. He even felt like his knee was incredibly swollen
If it was just him, Reif can already use this chance to finish him
Fortunately for him, there were still the other guards. Two of them reaches Reif and engages him in close combat
Their clenched fist was currently covered with hard rocks as they tried to use it to punch Reif
Reif on the other hand likes this outcome. The small fry served themselves into him
Instead of dodging the punch with large movements, Reif only moved his body with the barest minimum to not be harmed
The earthen fists only hit empty air and thin but sharp mana condensed in Reif's thumb and he uses it to cut the finger next to them
After that, Reif skillfully ducked between the arms of two of his enemies and he created left small a wound in them
Reif draws out a bit of blood from his opponents but his own blood drips down the wound he created
He might not be able to use his poison to affect a whole town again for the time being but if it's just two people, it wasn't that much of a problem
"AAAAHHHH!!" The two immediately screamed in pain after being poisoned. The entrance that the poisoned blood uses to enter immediately sent pain to them
This poison was the same one that was given to Ram. Since Ram is a 5th circle mage, he can resist it for a long time
However, the two are just 2nd circle mages. The poison immediately uses the victim's energy to multiply
Since Reif always needs poison then might as well uses his enemies as a breeding ground for his poison, right?
