Death… And Me Chapter 1037 - Over

Chapter 1037 - Over

Surprisingly, Roan decided to finish his explanation.

"Last but not least, I waited for the exact moment a projectile pa.s.sed by and moved alongside it. I covered it with my own Divine Sense concealment ability when it got close to the range of your Divine Sense. The first hit was from the projectile, which opened a gap in Tuniso's barrier. The second hit was obviously myself, taking advantage of that gap. That's how I took his head. Although I used a subst.i.tute sword, it was more than enough to finish the job."

Roan knew that once he got too close, Rean's Divine Sense bending skill wouldn't be able to bend Liafel and Tuniso's Divine Sense enough to keep hiding. However, the projectile was different. It was definitely bigger than when the battle royale started, but it was still much smaller than himself. Also, it was much faster as well.

One must remember that it was already hard to dodge and block a projectile even when one noticed them entering the boundary of their Divine Senses. Even Roan wasn't an exception to that as he, too, had already blocked or parried quite a few since he didn't have time to dodge.

Now, if Rean's Divine Sense bending skill was covering it, the projectile would need to get much, much closer to the target before the target's Divine Sense could pierce through and see the projectile. By then, it would be way too close to even react, and that's what exactly happened. Roan only had to use the opportunity left behind by the huge impact made by the projectile to finish the job.

Of course, Roan wouldn't tell them about the shortcoming of Rean's skill.

Liafel couldn't help but ask Roan after hearing that. "Wh-Why are you even telling me all of this?"

Roan shrugged his shoulders as he replied, "You wouldn't want to lose without at least knowing the circ.u.mstances, right? Just think of it as me being in a very good mood today."

"A very good... mood?" Let alone Liafel, how many of the partic.i.p.ants would have thought about Roan's strategy? First of all, Roan was new to this city. Everyone knew that. He didn't know about the other's skills very much. Not to mention that no one knew about the slaughtering formation's ability until it activated. But even with that, he was able to use all of that to his advantage so thoroughly! How many of them could have done the same thing in such a perfect manner? Maybe none of the partic.i.p.ants could!

Roan then began to walk in Liafel's direction and said, "The fun hasn't finished yet. Let's play a little more."

However...

"There's no need. This Free For All Battle is over."

Fabio Kamos came down from the air as he waved his hand. With that, the slaughtering formation and the blueish environment disappeared completely.

Everyone was taken aback by that. Why would the representative of the Royal Family stop the a.s.sembly? The only time it happened was when someone was found to have broken a rule. However, it was obviously not the case. Free For All, or battle royale, had no rules. The last one standing would win. That was all.

"Se-Senior Fabio." Liafel quickly bowed to the man, knowing how important the guy was.

Roan, on the other hand, didn't seem to care. If anything, he seemed irritated that Fabio had stopped his training, asking him, "Did something happen?"

Fabio shook his head as he told Roan, "Not really. It's just that I'll have to take you and your brother out of this a.s.sembly."

Fabio's words shocked the entire audience!

"What?!"

"Take them out?!"

"Without breaking the rules?!"

"Great!"

"They were too overpowered, after all!"

"Aw, man. It was fun to watch them."

"Indeed. It was nice to see such a change of pace for once."

The opinions were divided regarding the decision. The top powers, especially those who would still partic.i.p.ate in the next battle-related compet.i.tions, were obviously jubilant. Rean and Roan had more than proved just how strong they were. Their level wasn't something one should find in a city like Cosec.

That was especially so after watching Roan's performance in the Free For All Battle. Even though a Middle Stage Saint Realm cultivator had somewhat equivalent strength to Roan, his experience was just too different. It was more than enough to allow him to fight two at the same time and still have the upper hand.

Of course, Roan narrowed his eyes after hearing that. "Why is that? I didn't break any rules."

Fabio nodded in response. "Indeed, you didn't break any rules. However, this was supposed to be an a.s.sembly to decide which powers would take the Divine Veins. Simply put, it was the Royal Family's way to distribute it between the various powers. If you and your brother take everything, it will lose its meaning."

"So, we're being taken out because we're too strong?" Roan asked in response with a dark expression.

Fabio didn't even think of Roan's expression as anything as he replied, "Don't feel too sad. You will still take the Golden-level Divine Vein from this Free for All Battle. Also, I can give my word as a Royal Family member that no one will bother your Lukimira Sect because of the Divine Veins they got."

Fabio then looked at Liafel after that and told him, "Don't think I'm doing anything wrong here. I'm giving this victory to him straight away as the difference between you two is as clear as day. However, if you feel that you still have a chance of winning and want to continue, by all means, go ahead. I will allow the battle to continue."

Liafel then looked at Roan, who had his eyes closed. In the end, he shook his head. Roan's display was pretty obvious, not to mention that if given a chance, Roan would take his life before he could even give up. "No, that's fine. If someone like Senior Fabio is saying it, then it's definitely so." Besides, it wasn't nice to go against the Royal Family's words.

Fabio nodded with a satisfied expression after listening to Liafel's response. "Very good."

Soon after, he looked at Ravio, who understood his meaning.

"Winner, Roan Larks from Lukimira Sect."

And just like that, the twins' partic.i.p.ation in the a.s.sembly was over.
