The Legend of the Destroyer

Ch. 2 - Not a New Beginning (Revised)

In a house that can be said to be very simple there is a husband and wife where the wife is currently in the process of giving birth assisted by a female healer.

“You must be safe with our baby Ruo’er,” the husband's inner worry. He waited outside the delivery room while walking back and forth in front of the door.

Oekkkk…

After a long wait, the sound of baby crying was finally heard. The husband who heard that rushed in and approached his wife. In the room, there was a little baby boy next to his wife. With a happy feeling the husband approached his wife who was lying weakly in bed after giving birth.

“Thank God you and our baby are fine Ruo'er.” Gratefully he kissed his wife's forehead affectionately and afterwards kissed her newborn son's forehead.

The wife only smiled faintly in response, as she was currently very exhausted after giving birth to her first son.

“Have you found a good name for our son?” ask her husband gently and look at his son's face.

The wife nodded slowly, “Already, I named her Rey.

10 Years later...

Rey the little baby grew into a beautiful white-haired young man, gentle in nature and very well mannered. However, none of that makes him a jewel in the eyes of people, because little Rey cannot cultivate because her dantian was diagnosed with a defect by healers who once examined her body.

This makes little Rey a subject of ridicule as well as bullyan by people. As it stands, on a deserted street, Rey is being bullied by a group of young men who seem a little older than her.

“Basic disabled! how dare a disabled person like you approach Miss Yui?” One of the young men named Ling Zuo kicked Rey in the head then stepped on her hard.

Rey frowned in pain, she was just an ordinary human being and of course Ling Zuo's stomping made her face hurt. “Ta-ta-but earlier I was just chatting with him.” With a trembling voice Rey tried to defend herself because what she did was not against the law.

Hearing the defense coming out of Rey's mouth made Ling Zuo angry. Ling Zuo pulled Rey's hair until her body was raised upwards. Rey screamed in pain, she tried to break away, but suddenly a punch landed on her stomach so hard that it made her vomit fresh blood from her mouth.

Rey looked at Ling Zuo limply, her eyes begging for mercy, but whatever the force, instead of gaining sympathy, she got a punch back right in her stomach. Ling Zuo threw Rey's body against the wall as if throwing a piece of trash and stomped on her hand until the sound of a broken bone was heard.

As the excruciating pain left Rey unable to make any more noises and only able to curl up in pain, she somehow explained her circumstances when she met her mother at home. All this time he always managed to hide his suffering from his parents because he did not want to make them embarrassed, but it seems like this time he will not be able to hide it anymore.

“You all beat him up, I'll give 10 gold pieces to anyone who can make this cripple die.”

Immediately after that they all violently beat Rey mercilessly, they did not even hesitate to use Qi when hitting Rey. Although their use of Qi while beating Rey was low but what they forgot about was that the boy they were beating up now was just an ordinary human or in another sense was not a cultivator.

Rey could only surrender, punches and kicks landed smoothly on her face and body, instead of feeling pain, she felt a chill enveloping her body.

After a while they all stopped beating Rey because one of them realized something. The young man checked Rey's pulse and how surprised she was when she could not feel Rey's pulse, even just a breath was not there.

The young man's body trembled, he turned his head towards Ling Zuo.“Boss, this brat is dead!”

All of them who heard that were of course panicking instead of playing, they really did not expect that their playful blows could kill Rey.

“What?!” Ling Zuo could not believe it just like that and immediately checked Rey's body directly, but it turns out that her conjecture is wrong because she has no signs of Rey's life at all which means that she has actually killed someone this time.

Ling Zuo panicked, his face paled, although trying to calm down could still be clearly seen if his body was trembling at this moment. Ling Zuo looked around and realized that there was no one there, so if no one was to bear witness then no one would report them he thought.

“Bi-let's just him here, let's go before anyone sees.”

Forget about responsibility, fear in their hearts signals them to run away from trouble. Without consideration or feeling guilty, they all nodded in agreement and immediately left Rey who was lying lifeless on the deserted streets.

However, the strangeness occurred, Rey who was originally declared dead turned out to now open her eyes. With the position still lying on the ground Rey stared blankly at the clear sky, her facial expression seemed ordinary as if she had experienced something similar.

Moments later Rey took a sitting position, she looked towards her very small hand, “Hm... I had expected me to come back to life, so now I am back alive in the body of a boy?”

Rey looked around her, she felt quite foreign to where she was at the moment, but suddenly her head hurt a lot, then all the memory pieces of the young man's body he occupied slowly fused with his memory.

“So my body is named Rey? well, whatever the name does not matter, as long as it is the name I wear then all the things that were originally ordinary will be extraordinary,”gum Rey while grimacing herself imagining how extraordinary she is.

Rey frowned in pain when she felt some of her ribs crack, she also realized that her left hand was broken.

Rey sighed harshly, her facial expression looking very unpleasant to look at, “Why... why is it that every time I come back to life is always unlucky?! Why is the body I occupy always battered? Am I cursed?”

Rey suddenly recalled something before her death, she recalled a figure with blood red eyes grinning right in front of her, the figure always appearing right before her death, she said, but strangely none of the people saw or were at least aware of his presence.

“The red eye... Who is he exactly? why does my blood always boil when I remember it?” Rey muttered while clenching her hands.

Rey was startled by the presence of the blood red-eyed man she had just thought of right in front of her. The figure stared intently at Rey's eyes, “You have not changed at all after going through all this. why don't you just accept that reality is not as beautiful as an illusion.”.

Rey is confused, she is eager to bring out all the questions she always has in her mind about why the red-eyed figure always haunts her mind, about why she always comes back to life after death befalls her, about why he always dreamed of strange things that he never did at all,

Rey stared at the figure intently without fear at all, "Who exactly are you fucking!? Why do you always show up and make me sick, why are you-" When going to talk again all of a sudden his whole body is stiff without being able to move at all.

The expression of the figure is replaced with a sad expression that looks to contain regrets so deep.“Don't look at me like that, you made me remember something I don't want to remember back.”.

Several times the figure sighed before finally continuing his words. “I know what you want to say, so I locked your mouth because you were always noisy."

Rey stared intently at the figure, as she suspected that the figure in front of her currently knew something about her, it was like she had recognized him for quite a long time.

“I wouldn't do any of this if it was in vain at the end, but I think you'll find the answer because there's something special going on…” The figure speaks for itself without concern for Rey who does not understand the meaning of his words at all.

The figure turned her back to Rey.“This meeting will never happen because it is just an illusion that I created, but remember these words, reality and illusion always go hand in hand, eyes and heart are a reflection in order to see all falsehoods.”

Rey glared her eyes as the mouth of the figure moved without making a sound as if saying something to her. However, it all only lasted for a moment as the figure suddenly disappeared followed by Rey who looked like a dazed person.

Soon, Rey suddenly stood up and shook off her dirty clothes. “Alright, now this body belongs to me, because you are dead just don't have to get up..." Rey grinned wide. "I will show you how this destroyer destroyed all your enemies or mine!”

Rey seemed to remember nothing of the previous events as if nothing had ever happened.

Rey walks out of the quiet street and heads to where she lives according to the memories in her brain right now. Rey seemed to be indifferent to her clothes which contained a lot of blood spots, even her face looked mediocre with many wounds on her body, she said, but it is commonplace because such pain is common in his previous life.

Rey walked house by house, she did not care about the gazes of the people who were pointing at her. No matter how long later, his footsteps stopped right in front of a simple house that was more impressed like a hut that would collapse if accidentally the nastiness of a rhino.

A beautiful woman who looks 30 years old walking out of the house, she looks shocked when she sees the state of Rey is so alarming.

The woman ran over to Rey in a hurry. “Why is your body covered in Rey's wounds?” ask her while checking on Rey. The woman panicked when her hand felt a bone crack in her son's chest.

Rey looked at the woman's face carefully, knowing that the woman who was examining her body was currently the mother of the body she was in now, “What does that mean she is now my mother?” inner wondering.

Rey wanted to actually strangle her mother's neck now that she had been carelessly touching her body without her permission, no one dared to touch her even a mosquito had to get her permission before daring to suck her blood.

However, Rey's heart softened when she saw her mother's worried expression that somehow made her happy.“Not that I like this, but it is feared like this is not bad either.” His mind rejected his mother's treatment but his heart said otherwise.

Rey di Tarik was entered into the house by her mother and forced to sit down. Ruoer pulled Rey's shirt to shreds and how shocked she was to see her son's body covered with bruises.

With the shaking of Ruoer's hand touching Rey's body slowly, her tears could not be dammed when she saw her son had terrible wounds all over his body.

Rey only saw that in silence, she was not good at entertaining someone because in her previous life in a dream even people did not want her to appear at all, even he could hasten the death of a dying person just by approaching him alone.

“There's no harm in trying," Inner Rey. He scratched his head which was not itchy at all and said, “Ehem... I'm used to wounds like this, so there's no need to worry.”.

Rey's words instead of calming her heart even make her mother feel more guilty. Unexpectedly Ruoer sliced his finger until blood came out and then dripped his blood on Rey's body. Miracle happens, the blood seeps into the skin and instantly all wounds from head to foot heal completely without leaving any scars.

Rey is pretending to be ordinary, though, but actually he knew the fact that his mother had a rare body called the Red Lotus in which the blood of the owner of the body can heal all light-heavy wounds outside-in a short time.

“I think mom hid her ability, if only people knew about this they would have killed each other to get the rare body of Red Lotus, it is not impossible there will be a war to fight for it...” In his heart, Rey laughed. “But well.. none of that applies to this very great destroyer, this, my holy fire can even grow body parts that have been destroyed or broken even though it drains Qi quite a lot too when using it.”

The two of them sat in silence, Ruoer trying to wipe away her tears. While Rey looks very stupid and cute very reliable.

Rey looks around her, she doesn't see or feel the presence of anyone other than herself and her mother now, but she clearly remembers if her current body has a father. “Where is Dad now?”

“Your father is at work, Rey.” Ruo'er explained in a very soft voice.

“Why he still hasn't come home after a month, what's his job?” Rey is quite curious about her father's work, as there is no information about her father in her memory at all.

RuoEr flinched, she was quite surprised when she heard Rey's question about her father, “Ah....why did you suddenly ask about your father? as I recall, you don't even want to know about anything your father did.”

“Ah... hehehe” Rey laughs awkwardly while scratching her cheek.“Uncivilized son, he doesn't even know anything about his father, if he were my son, I'd hang in the woods! I would even be willing to cancel the manufacturing process if it was possible!”angryness. Rey thinks that the owner of her body doesn't seem to like her father.

“Your father was appointed a landscaper in the Ling Family exactly a month ago therefore he did not come home until now.”Ruo'er subtly explained about her husband to Rey with a smile, it seems that she was not the least bit embarrassed about her husband's work.

Rey tries to remember about the Ling.“ ClanIf I don't remember wrongly, the boy named Ling Zuo who beat up this brat came from the Ling Clan. Hmm, interesting, I'll start from the Ling Clan!” inner Rey while smiling herself like a madman.

Seeing his son who is now smiling strangely alone makes him afraid because it seems like his son's mental disorder after the injuries he got. “What's Rey? Why are you smiling like that?” ask her anxiously.

“Ah, it's nothing. I was just remembering something funny" Rey replied with origin.

Ruoer let out a small sigh then smiled sweetly.“Now go to your room and rest, mother is in front of the house if you need anything.” Ruo'er stroked Rey's head slowly and left.

Rey happily received the warm treatment immediately rushed to her room and immediately went to sleep without caring about her bedding that was hard like wood. He slept not only because his mother told him to but because his body is still a boy who needs enough rest.

**

In the morning, Rey seemed to fall asleep very fast, even he had not realized he had been asleep all night.

Ruoer walked slowly into his son's room.“Rey, wake up son, instead of today you will take the test of being a disciple in the Blue Sea Sect?” Ruo'er rubbed Rey's head slowly to wake her up.

Rey immediately opened her eyes when she felt her head being rubbed. Rey sighed in relief when she saw the person who was rubbing his head turned out to be Ruo'er, if that person must be when the person's head would come off. "Luckily, I didn't act right away, Rey, lest you kill your own parents even if I don't care at all." she said.

Rey doesn't know if she's happy right now or because of her body's response, but Rey certainly seems to ignore it and enjoys all the attention from her mother right now.

“Mantap...”batin Rey while looking at the face of her mother who is very beautiful.

“Nak? are you okay?” asked Ruoer while staring at Rey's shade.

“Ah, it's okay,” Rey replied as she woke up.”I'll leave now.”

“You better have breakfast before you leave.”

"Yes sect? Ck, this body is not even trained except for its hardiness, is this brat stupid? What if the test of being a disciple of a sect that capital can be grinning all right?" In his heart Rey was quite upset even though his expression did not show that.

Even though his body was not trained in either martial arts or cultivating Qi did not mean that during the later tests he would fail, because he has more life and death experience than anyone and there is no one who is extraordinary in any way, especially in destroying something.

"Well, whatever it seems better I follow all this calmly so as not to arouse suspicion." Rey finally chose to obey her mother.

However, after arriving at the dining table he was quite surprised to see the potluck food, there was no word of luxury in the slightest because the food in front of him was currently just green vegetables and dry bread.

“Where's the meat? Arak or something? Why just vegetables and dry bread?” Inner Rey without showing her surprise.

Although he never chose the food he would eat, but seeing the food served in front of him at this time made him angry and upset, no meat alone made him upset instead of playing, he said, what if there is no favorite drink? It was like a disaster for him.

“Not that Ling Clan is big enough? But why couldn't my family afford meat to eat or at least wine for morning drinks? How much is my dad's salary there?”inner Rey while thinking about the fate of her family because it seems like her father's salary is small enough for a landscaper in a family that is quite famous.

“Why hasn't it been eaten yet? Later you are late if you are still delaying time.”

“Ah, alright”

Rey ate voraciously without thinking about the taste of the bland food she was eating. While Ruo'er who saw his son who ate it was very greedy to be sad, because he could not give what his son needed to support his strength.

After eating Ruo'er seemed to want to talk to his son. “Rey, you don't have to force yourself, I don't expect anything, just you're fine enough.” Ruo'er hugged Rey very tightly.

“Of course. All right, I'm leaving now.” Rey stepped away from her house with a big grin on her face, because her mind was now gathering all the brilliant ideas that were certainly not a good idea.

“Hopefully succeed son,” shouted Ruo'er as he waved his hand.
