Death… And Me Chapter 2013 Just How?

Chapter 2013 Just How?

*Roar, Roar, Roar...*

Several more Roars began to sound from everyone, making it seem like a horde of creatures was coming after the twins' group instead of the normal one or two.

Rean looked at Roan and Luan for a moment and then at the new coats he made with the Eight-Legged Lizard's Skin. "Ahem... Perhaps using these monster's skins wasn't a good idea after all..."

"You think?" Roan glanced at Rean with a dark expression. Right after, he and Luan threw the coats away, and so did Rean before the three dashed away on Kentucky's back. 

Sounds of fighting then echoed from far behind where the coats we left. The twins' group didn't see what had happened, but it was pretty obvious that a war between the beasts had started there.

"Still, I made those coats to have the same properties as the Lizard had. They were supposed to be emanated the same energies... How come that instead of hiding, they invited so many of those demon beasts?" Rean was still puzzled about it.

Luan was the first one to speak. "I think I know the answer. I've seen the Lizard with my eyes when it was alive before Dad and Uncle killed it. The s.p.a.ce around the Lizard seemed to flow through without impedance." As mentioned before, the s.p.a.ce in this Swamp keeps flowing out on its own, which doesn't happen normally. That said, Luan continued. "However, after Uncle Rean brought those coats out, not only did not the flow of s.p.a.ce not pa.s.s through it, the coats seemed to greatly affect its surroundings."

"I see..." Rean understood what Luan was trying to say. "It acted just like our natural spatial perception. Void Tempering Realm and above beings can tell if others at th same level or above are close to them due to the Spatial interference they cause. That makes it impossible for them to hide from each other. When we wore the lizard skin coats I made, we caused the same interference in s.p.a.ce."

Luan nodded. "We did that, indeed. Even worse, the interference those coats caused was several times higher than what Father, Uncle Rean, and Kentucky cultivations do."

Rean pondered for a moment. "Luan, are we interfering with the s.p.a.ce flow at the moment?"

Luan immediately confirmed Rean's words. "Of course! We are always interfering with the s.p.a.ce around us. Well, I wasn't supposed to be doing this because I'm not in the Void Tempering Realm yet. But because of my s.p.a.ce Affinity, I'm also causing it to a lesser extent. It's just that our interference is further highlighted because the s.p.a.ce laws in this Swamp are constantly flowing outwards."

"But it is nowhere near the interference we caused when I brought those coats out, right?" Rean asked back.

Luan nodded once again. "Yes, it is definitely much lower."

Rean continued to think about the issue. "Somehow, the beasts in this place are all at the Void Tempering Realm and above, but we can't feel their presence, even with our natural spatial perceptions. We, on the other hand, are causing a higher interference than normal. The flowing of s.p.a.ce in this place is pa.s.sing through the beasts as if their cultivations or even their very existence aren't there."

Roan suddenly mentioned something. "Could it be they aren't interfering with the flow of s.p.a.ce around? Maybe they learned how to match their own Spatial Power disruption to the flow of s.p.a.ce around them."

Kentucky, who was flying with everyone on his back, added. "So they became part of the stream instead of a rock in the middle, right?"

Roan nodded. "That's what I think." He then looked at Luan. "We will continue our journey as we have been doing. Luan, next time you see Rean, Kentucky, and I fighting one of the Swamp Beasts, pay very close attention to it with your eyes. If they are really just matching the s.p.a.ce flow around them, there is bound to be a few small errors during the heat of the battle."

Luan didn't mind at all. "Yes, father!"

Surprisingly, their group didn't find a single creature during the next several hours. From the looks of it, the coats Rean created caused all the creatures in the area to converge back there. It wasn't before half a day, if you can even tell the time in this place, pa.s.sed that they finally battled another one. 

*Creeeee!*

*Swish, swish, swis.h.!.+*

Rean and Roan's attack hit its vital points before it fell into the Swamp like the others. 

*Shua!*

Sure enough, the Swamp seemed to feel the presence of the dead body and immediately sucked the creature dry. The twins didn't try to stop it since they already had a few bodies inside the Dimensional Realm. They were more interested in Luan's insights. "How was it? Did you see anything?"

Luan couldn't help but feel a little excited. "Yes! It was just like father mentioned. During the battle, that spider-like creature failed to match the flow of s.p.a.ce around itself very slightly a few times. If father didn't ask me to pay close attention, I wouldn't even have noticed it."

"So that's how it works..." Rean pondered a moment. "How about the moment it died? What happened to it?"

Luan thought about the dead creature before saying, "the interference immediately disappeared. Well, that's the normal thing. After all, the moment a Void Tempering Realm being or above dies, they can't interfere with anything."

Rean nodded. "At least that part is what you should expect."

Kentucky had to ask, though. "Rean, Roan, do you think we could do the same thing? I mean, match our spatial interferences with the s.p.a.ce around us?"

"That would be extremely unlikely," Roan immediately denied the idea. "Even the top experts back in the Realm of G.o.ds or even the Elder Devils in the Underworld couldn't hide from anyone's Natural Spatial Perception. If there was really a way to do it, they would have done it a long time ago. After all, that would pretty much mean they could be invisible to other experts at their level. I'm sure there was no lack of attempts regarding this topic."

"Then... how can the beasts in this place do it?" Luan asked the question in everyone's mind.

"Indeed... just how...?"
