Death… And Me Chapter 66 - Crescent Moon

Chapter 66 - Crescent Moon

Unaware of what was happening behind, Rean's group arrived at the Azure Hyenas Territory. Of course, since they entered the inner region, they began to find Stage Two Demon Beasts. There was even one that forced Rean and Roan to flee. It was a Demon Dark Eagle, a Stage Two that had the power of a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The twins covered the back while Diakar and Opril ran ahead while carrying Malaka. With the twins' teamwork, they were able to hold back until the Eagle finally gave up. Sometime later, they met again with the others and continued their journey.

However, once they entered the Azure Hyenas Territory, they stopped seeing any other Demon Beast. It was evident that the other demon beasts didn't want to get close to this place.

"Now then, where will we find that Spiritual Azure Flower?"

Roan pondered a bit before saying.

"Since Sister Orb gave this mission that can increase the authority level, it shouldn't be simple. It is most likely located in a place where those Hyenas would be watching all the time."

Rean agreed with Roan. The twins then looked at Diakar and Opril before telling their plan.

"Alright. As you can see, no other demon beasts are coming close to these Hyenas territory. In that case, you three should stay hidden here. Roan and I are going ahead to try to get the Azure Spiritual Flower."

Diakar wanted to say something, but Roan stopped him.

"Be it you, Opril, or Malaka, you will only get in our way. It will be easier to hide if it is only the two of us. Not to mention that if we are discovered, it will be much easier to flee if we don't need to worry about you three. Don't forget, Rean and I came here to train ourselves, so we have to do it alone."

Although it was hard to accept it, Diakar and Opril knew that they were speaking the truth. Considering the level of danger in this place, there isn't much the two of them could do.

Malaka wanted to follow them too, but Dikar held her back. In the end, she could only give up.

After finding a place to hide, Rean and Roan left the group behind and ventured deeper inside the Azure Hyenas Territory.

It didn't take long to find a few groups of them. The twins quickly hid and looked as they pa.s.sed. They paid particular attention to a larger group that had a much bigger Hyena walking in the front. It was obviously much stronger than the ones following it.

"It seems like that the Azure Hyena leader isn't the only Stage Two demon beast here. The one walking in the front is most likely a Stage Two as well. It's just that it should not be a peak Stage Two. How should we deal with it?"

Rean then suggested.

"We first have to find the Azure Flower. Only then can we think about a plan. Anyway, the best one would still be to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so we might try it after ascertaining the situation."

Roan agreed with him, and they continued to sneak into the Hyenas territory.

Finally, they got close to a big lake in the center. Several Hyenas could be seen on the other side. But not only that, Rean and Roan could also see several blue-colored flowers by the lakesh.o.r.e. Surprisingly, they could feel the presence of Water Element being drawn into them.

"I see, these Hyenas are using those flowers to gather Water Element into their bodies. No wonder they are all living beside them. However, our 'lure the tiger out of the mountain' plan won't work like this. There are at least fifty Azure Hyenas there. Even if one of us gets their attention, there is no way all of them will follow."

Rean pondered a bit and then got an idea.

"What about approaching through the lake? We would appear right beside the flowers. Also, it doesn't look like those Hyenas are a type of aquatic Demon Beast. We could jump straight into the lake once more after we grab at least one flower."

Suddenly, the water beside the flowers started to move. From inside, an Azure Hyena began to walk out with some fish on its mouth. It didn't look like the water on its body bothered it at all.

Roan looked at Rean after that.

"You were saying?"

"Cough, cough. I didn't say anything. I was just thinking out loud."

"Anyway. Entering the water will be certain death. We need to approach through the ground."

The twins looked at each other and sighed.

"It seems like we can only do that."

"Indeed."

"Let's wait for night time to come, it will be easier for us to move like that. Quite a few of them will be sleeping as well."

"Yes. But we can't forget our smell. Let's move to the borders of their territory and kill one of the Hyenas' groups. The outside groups don't have Stage Two between them, so it shouldn't be hard to do so. We can wear their skins to disguise our own smell after that."

They quickly agreed on a plan and put it to practice. Once Rean and Roan were far enough from the center, they looked for a group of those Hyenas. It didn't take long to find one, though. This group also didn't have any Stage Two in the middle and only had five members.

The twins didn't waste time and appeared right in front of them while raising their swords. As soon as the Hyenas saw the two kids, they immediately attacked too. This is their territory, and any demon beast that entered would be dealt with straight away.

Unfortunately, it was Rena and Roan that they were against. Without a single Stage Two in their ranks, they were doomed to fail.

'Death Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!'

That was a wide range attack that Roan developed. With the two of them attacking together and their Spiritual Swords, the Hyena's group was immediately cleaved in half! The difference in combat power was just too high.
