Death… And Me Chapter 1456 - Bird-Fish

Chapter 1456 - Bird-Fish

One extra week. That was the time it took for the continental barrier to finally appear in front of the twins. The Divine Energy raged in the Under Desert Sea as the currents made everything chaotic. However, even though the twins' group was very close to it, they could still resist its power without much effort. "Seems like the information was right. I don't know how it works, but the Under Desert Sea weakens the destructive power of the continental barrier."

Sharky nodded in response. "I pa.s.sed through it after the Under Sea Kingdom a.s.signed me to my territory. Of course, I used their knowledge to get an easy route which they safeguarded very tightly. It was very easy to go through. However, the power of this point of the barrier doesn't seem much different than the point I used."

Rean also looked around and could see that some Stage Three and Four Sea Demon Beasts roamed the area. That proved that the continental barrier wasn't really that bad in this place. Above that, the twins' couldn't detect any Transition Realm aquatic demon beasts either. "Let's go."

Rean then s.h.i.+elded Falangia and Rafatia while Roan protected Luan. Kentucky and Sharky didn't really need any protection, so they just pressed forward. The continental barrier then hit them, making their protection tremble quite a bit. However, it didn't last long. Everyone got used to the environment quickly, stabilizing the protection around their bodies.

Then again, the continental barrier itself wasn't that big. It was only several tens of kilometers in length in the Under Desert Sea. It's just that one couldn't move very fast as it could affect the protection of Divine Energy... or the protection of Divine Soul Power in the twins' case. 

"There really is nothing inside the continental barrier..." Kentucky couldn't help but comment.

Rean, on the other hand, continued to look around him. "I wonder if we can't find one of those Spirits that live in the continental barrier."

"Do you mean that whale that those smugglers used to bring us to Lanqueas?" Roan asked.

Rean nodded in response. "Yeah. If we had one of those, we wouldn't need to worry about traversing the continental barrier anymore."

Roan found it unlikely, though. "I don't think it's that easy. It's possible that many conditions have to be met for those whale-like spirits to live here. Back then, Timoteo had to call the whale from within the continental barrier. Obviously, he couldn't keep it outside, or he would have definitely done so. Even if you find one of those here, they might not be suitable at all."

Rean understood what Roan meant, saying, "Indeed. The power of the continental barrier in this Under Desert Sea is nothing compared to the outside. Even if I find a spirit like that whale and find a way to bring it outside, it might die in any other barrier. It might not even be a problem regarding the continental barrier's power. Maybe it would die simply because the barriers aren't the same everywhere."

Roan nodded in response. "That's correct." Then again, Roan had to admit. "Well, if we do find one of those, there's no harm in trying to capture one. Who knows? It might work."

Sharky couldn't help but ask. "Are there really spirits capable of living inside a normal continental barrier?" He obviously understood that this wasn't the first time the twins were pa.s.sing through one.

Rean confirmed, nodding. "Yes. The fact that you didn't know that proves that they're truly quite rare. Who knows? Maybe they only exist in the continental barrier between Lanqueas and Huring."

Their conversation wasn't a secret or anything, so everyone heard it, including Luan. "What's a whale?"

Roan looked at him before explaining through a Divine Sense message. 

Only then did Luan understand. "I see... I can't see anything like that with my eyes either."

Rean didn't mind. "It's fine. I was just dreaming out loud. Hahaha!"

"However, there are a few others here that look like a big bird mixed with a fish..." Luan said soon after as his pupils shone inside the continental barrier.

"Oh! A big bird mixed with a fish. That's quite different." 

"..."

"What did you say?!" Rean and Roan immediately asked Luan back as they looked all around them. However, they still couldn't see anything like that at all. In the continental barrier, Divine Senses were useless. 

Luan then pointed in several directions, saying, "There's one there, there, and there..."

Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Sharky then raised their guards since they didn't know if they could be attacked or not. "Are they coming after us?"

Luan shook his head, telling them, "No, there was a lot of them that swam by our sides, but they seem to ignore us. None of them looked in our direction either."

Rean pondered a bit, wondering, "Back then, the whale was a very big spirit, so it could swallow all of us before pa.s.sing through the barrier. Luan, how big are these bird-fishes?"

Luan then raised his hand, replying, "The size of my palm."

Rean sighed after hearing that. "Well, I don't think they would be able to protect us against the continental barriers, then. They're just too small." It was then that Rean thought. "By the way, how many can you see?"

"I can't count. There are just way too many of them. Look, there's one swimming around me right now," Luan said as his eyes followed the bird-fish. He was still a six-year-old kid, so that entertained him very much.

Roan then looked at Rean, asking him, "Do you think you can use quant.i.ty to make up for size?"

Rean nodded in response. "Well, I did think about that. But how would I capture something I can't even see? Also, do they even have the strength to resist the continental barrier somewhere else? After all, this barrier here is a very weak continental barrier because of the Under Desert Sea."

The twins then looked at Luan and asked, "Your eyes can see both energy and elements. Would you be able to tell which element they have inside their bodies?"

Luan nodded, saying, "They all have a mix of all elements as far as I can see."

"Indeed, they're just like the whales from back then," Roan said.
