Reborn As a Villain Son With The Strongest Wife-Chapter 12: The Hunt for the Evolution Stone

◇◇◇

Two weeks.

That's all the time I had before Rael Ascarion bonded with his Sacred Griffin.

And if that happened—

The so-called protagonist of fate would reach a level where even I couldn't touch him.

I wouldn't let that happen.

That's why tonight, Celestia and I were deep in the Ashen Caverns—a place filled with lethal beasts and ancient treasures.

Because hidden somewhere inside this labyrinth—

Was a Beast Evolution Stone.

◇◇◇

A Trial of Strength

Celestia walked beside me, her black dress flowing like shadows as we stepped deeper into the cave.

"Ara~ It's so dark and ominous in here. What a perfect place for villains like us~"

I ignored her teasing.

Ironhorn marched at the front, his massive frame smashing through rocky obstacles.

Obsidian slithered along the walls, sensing threats before they appeared.

Raijin walked silently, ears twitching, his fur bristling with electricity.

We weren't alone here.

I could hear growls in the darkness—monsters lurking, waiting for a chance to attack.

I welcomed them.

Because I needed to grow stronger.

And that meant one thing—

A fight.

◇◇◇

Ambush in the Darkness

SCREEEEECH!

A dozen crimson eyes appeared from the shadows.

Then—

WHOOSH!

A horde of Abyssal Crawlers lunged at us, their fangs glistening with venom.

"Ironhorn! Smash through!"

BOOM!

Ironhorn charged forward, his horn glowing with power.

Abyssal Crawlers were quick, but they weren't durable—

And Ironhorn's brute force sent them flying into the cave walls, shattering stone.

One tried to leap at me—

But before it could reach—

CRACK!

Raijin appeared in a blur, his lightning-coated fangs ripping through the creature's throat.

Obsidian coiled around another Crawler, its black scales glistening as it crushed the monster effortlessly.

I smirked.

These monsters were nothing to us now.

"Celestia, where's the Evolution Stone?"

Celestia closed her eyes for a moment, then smiled.

"Oh my~ It's just ahead~ But be careful, darling~"

She pointed deeper into the cave.

"The real boss is waiting."

The Guardian of the Stone

The cavern opened up into a massive underground chamber.

At the center—

A single blue crystal hovered, radiating an intense aura.

[ Ancient Evolution Stone ]

But guarding it—

Was a monster unlike anything we'd faced before.

A colossal beast, covered in obsidian armor, stood before the stone.

Its golden eyes burned with intelligence.

Its massive claws looked sharp enough to carve through mountains.

And when it opened its mouth—

A deep, rumbling voice echoed through the cave.

[ "Who dares challenge me?" ]

A Named Beast.

Not just a regular monster—

But an ancient entity with centuries of power.

Celestia smirked. "Fufufu~ I think we just found the perfect opponent~"

I took a deep breath.

The battle for ultimate power was about to begin.
