Death… And Me Chapter 285 - Friends From Afar

Chapter 285 - Friends From Afar

Rean heard that and took a Rank Three Spirit Stone from the Dimensional Realm into his hand. His bag with his items had been taken away from him, after all. Still, it appeared inside his hand, so no one noticed.

He then sent Elder Droman a Spiritual Sense Message.

'Elder Droman, you will feel your body being pulled away for a second. Do not resist it, okay?'

Droman was puzzled by that message. Still, he trusted Rean, so he nodded.

Right after, both twins' hair colors changed into a mix of Black and White. Rean then controlled the Dark Element he was getting from Roan to spread it around him and Droman. Droman's cultivation was sealed. Because of that, he couldn't use anything Spiritual Energy related. Even his Spiritual Sense couldn't go more than a few meters away, which was more than enough for Rean. The black energy he gathered around them completely sealed Droman's Vision and Spiritual Sense.

The enemies around Rean immediately noticed the change and stopped.

"Brat, what are you doing?!"

However, before they could do anything...

*Vup!*

Rean and Droman disappeared into thin air!

"What?!"

Back on Roan's side, the Dark Elements he summoned around the Spirit Stone increased in size several times, which made everyone around him puzzled. As Roan did that, a message appeared in Rean and Roan's head.

[Saving a Coordinate will cost 100 Destiny Points.]

[Confirm Purchase?]

'Yes!'

[Purchase Confirmed.]

[Saving Coordinates.]

[Coordinates Saved.]

Roan's Black Energy also covered the cube that the Soul Gem System summoned outside. However, he couldn't hide the ripples of energy. Let alone the elders, even Zuan, was shocked by that strange energy. After all, that was a Circuitry Formation that didn't exist in the outside world. But in the end, they still felt that it was quite familiar in some ways.

"Isn't that similar to when we use a Teleportation Formation?"

"It is indeed. What is the thing in Roan's hands?"

"How would I know? Let's just wait and see what will happen."

Back inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, a cloud of black energy suddenly appeared right above the Teleport Formation in the center. That Cloud was obviously Rean and Droman. Because of the Dark Element around them, Droman couldn't see or feel anything with the little Spiritual Energy he still had.

Sister Orb was already waiting for them. Roan had her put the Spirit Stones necessary for teleport in the formation, so it was ready to go. That being said, Rean and Droman didn't even have time to hit the ground before the Circuitry Teleportation Formation activated.

*Vup!*

Only a second pa.s.sed in the Dimensional Realm before Rean and Droman disappeared once more.

*Vup!*

Sure enough, a Cloud of Black Energy appeared right beside Roan. It had the same shape and size as the one he summoned himself. That was Rean's plan. With Droman's cultivation sealed, he could completely lock Droman's senses with Dark Element alone.

*Crack, Shatter!*

*Crack, Shatter!*

Immediately after, everyone heard the sound of something crumbling. Of course, those were the two Spirit Stones that Rean and Roan had in their hands, the decoys. As the Spirit Stones' dust was carried away by the wind, the Cloud of Black Energy disappeared as well. From inside, Rean and Droman appeared in front of everyone.

"What?!"

"How did they do that?"

"Was that the thing that Roan was holding?"

"It must be!"

Rean and Roan didn't seem happy, though. Their expressions made one think that they had received a tremendous loss.

"Sigh... Our only Pinpoint Teleport Stones, gone, just like that..."

Rean shrugged his shoulders.

"There is no helping it. Didn't we save them for a moment like this? They have served their purpose. It was a lot better than staying in the enemy's hands as hostages."

The elders and even Droman wanted to ask something else, but Zuan immediately stopped them.

"We can ask questions later."

Right after, he put his hand on Rean and Droman's shoulders to check their conditions. Rean didn't have anything wrong with his body. However, Zuan quickly found the blockage in Droman's Dantian.

"Hmph!"

A powerful wave of Spiritual Energy then entered Droman's body and crushed the barrier around Droman's Dantian. It wasn't poison, but more like a Spiritual Energy restriction. With Zuan's Spiritual Energy strength, it was more than enough to shatter it with brute force.

Right after, Droman felt his Spiritual Energy running around his body once again.

"Great! Thank you, Ancestor Zuan."

Zuan nodded as he looked at the direction their group was moving a second ago.

"The enemy is in that direction, right?"

Roan nodded.

"Yes. But now that Rean returned, I can't tell where they are anymore."

Zuan snorted in response.

"That's all I need to know."

He then looked at Reliance.

"Ask Lanlan to bring Rean and Roan back to the sect. The rest of us, we can't possibly go back to the sect without giving our visitors a departing gift, don't you think?"

All the elders' eyes turned cold as they nodded.

Reliance then talked with Lanlan, the enormous centipede. Lanlan simply nodded and opened its mouth. Before Rean and Roan could even react, it immediately swallowed the twins. A second later, Lanlan descended from the skies and entered the ground. It decided to tunnel its way back to the sect. Even a Saint Realm cultivator would have a lot of difficulties stopping it.

As it tunneled its way back, Rean and Roan heard Lanlan's Spiritual Sense message.

'Hehe! Don't worry, I will not digest you. Master just told me to deliver you back to the sect's entrance. Well, we are underground, so it will take some time. You two might as well sit down and cultivate for the time being.'

Rean and Roan nodded.

'Thank you, Sister Lanlan.'

The centipede was taken aback.

'Sister? Hahaha! Now, that's a way no one has called me before. Anyway, you are safe with me here. As for Master and the others, there is no need to think about them either.'

Back on Elder Zuan's side, he quickly grabbed everyone with his Spiritual Energy and disappeared in a flash. As for their enemies, they were still looking around with their Spiritual Senses, but they couldn't find anything. However, it wasn't just the five Soul Transformation Realm cultivators there anymore. Other than them, another cultivator with black clothes and using a technique to hide his face appeared. That was the cultivator Rean and Zuan talked about, the Saint Realm enemy.

"Where the h.e.l.l did they go?"

"Forget it! They probably had some treasure that teleported them away."

"If they had that, why didn't they use it until now?"

"Maybe they were waiting for something?"

Suddenly, a powerful Spiritual Sense fell over everyone. The Saint Realm leader then looked in a particular direction and immediately understood.

"f.u.c.k! They didn't teleport before because they were being tracked down! We can't stay in Sasamil Empire anymore."

It was then that a laugh entered everyone's minds.

"Hahaha! Leaving already? How could you do that? You still haven't enjoyed this old man's hospitality, you know? What about staying for a bit longer?"

As soon as that happened, an enormous fireball appeared above everyone there. Not only that, but the Wind Element fueled it, making it even more terrifying. Ancestor Zuan's Elemental Affinity was Fire, but he had also achieved superb control over the Wind Element at his level. Someone like Silo, Calina's dead guardian, could only kneel down to it.

The enemy's Saint Realm cultivator narrowed his eyes and acted. A Yellow Light came out of his body as Earth Element gathered like torrents. Right after, an enormous Earth s.h.i.+eld, which was as tough as a Heaven Level Metal, was shot against the descending Fireball.

*Boom!*

The shockwave made even the Soul Transformation Realm cultivators on the enemies' side find it hard to keep their balance in the air.

Right after, Ancestor Zuan arrived with everyone else. Mia and the others didn't need his orders. They immediately started their attacks against the enemies' Soul Transformation Realm cultivators as soon as they appeared.

However, they didn't seem to be going all out. Instead, they began to play it very safe. Still, that was terrible news for the enemies. The enemy's Saint Realm cultivator knew very well what they wanted to achieve.

'They are trying to create a commotion to attract the nearby powers here. The longer we wait, the more disadvantageous it will become.'

However, he didn't have much time to think. That's because Zuan came at him like a cannonball.

"Friend from far away, let's play, shall we?!"

*Boom, boom, boom...*

Immediately, the place turned into a battlefield. Still, the Saint Realm leader sent a Spiritual Sense Message to everyone.

'Disengage! We can't stay here for longer.'

Like that, the battle became a cat and mouse situation bound to extend for several countries worth of distance.
