Death… And Me

Chapter 194 - Dual Elements

Elder Buran saw the Light and Dark Element coming back and forth from Rean and Roan. However, he didnʼt want to give them time to use any skill, so he immediately stomped the ground.

ʼEarth Spike!ʼ

Buran was much closer to the twins this time, so the earth spikes came out a lot faster. Not only that, but they came from behind the twins. Both the Earth Spikes pierced through Rean and Roanʼs bodies, quickly impaling them from the back. Seeing that, Elder Buran smiled, satisfied.

However, his smile quickly froze. Thatʼs because both Rean and Roan suddenly became specks of Light and Dark energy that drifted away.

ʼNot good!ʼ

From both his sides, Rean and Roan appeared simultaneously!

ʼDeath Style, Thrid Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!ʼ

Six sword slashes came at Buran. He knew that all of them were real, so he did not try to block them. Instead, he once again stomped on the ground, shooting himself in the air.

Roanʼs eyes narrowed, seeing that. Buranʼs reaction was much faster than he expected. However, it wasnʼt over. Out of nowhere, another Rean and Roan appeared from behind Buran, also rushing at him right after he jumped.

ʼDeath Style, Fourth Form, Soaring Dragon!ʼ

Buran couldnʼt believe it. He can see Rean and Roan on the ground, so where did these two come from? Not only that, he saw that the Rean and Roan on the ground used skills. Now, their copies were also doing the same thing, using skills!

ʼHow are they doing it?ʼ

Still, he didnʼt have time to think.

ʼHarden!ʼ

Suddenly, his Earth Armor seemed to transform into metal!

*Clang, Clang*

The two Fourth Forms of the Death Style hit Buran. Blood gushed out, leaving deep cuts on his body. Not only that, but Roanʼs Dark Element immediately entered his body, destroying his Life Force while causing immense pain.

”Argh!”

Still, Buran was at the Late Stage of the Core Formation Realm. His Spiritual Energy pool was much bigger and stronger. He quickly channeled it on his injuries, promptly stopping the bleeding and locking Roanʼs Dark Element in place.

However, Rean and Roan didnʼt have any intention of giving him time to recover. They calculated his descending path and immediately rushed there. At the same time, the two energy clones that used the Fourth Form of the Death Style disappeared. On the ground, another two clones quickly took their place.

Those two clones immediately changed their instance and used their long-ranged attack at the falling Buran.

ʼDeath Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!ʼ

Buran noticed the two rays of Black and White Energy coming at him. However, he was prepared this time.

ʼRelease, Gather!ʼ

In a split of a second, his Earth Armor separated from his body and gathered in the form of a boulder under his feet. Buran then used that same boulder to change his falling position straight away.

Because of that, both clonesʼ Stellar Piercers missed their target by a hair. Not only that, but the real Rean and Roan had to adjust their positions as well. Roan couldnʼt help but feel surprised by Buranʼs reaction. The Stellar Piercers were extremely fast, but he was still able to respond in time.

Of course, he knew why it was that. Buran had seen the twins using the Stellar Piercer before. So when he noticed the clonesʼ instances, he knew that the long-ranged attacks would come. Still, that wasnʼt something that just anyone could pull off. It showed just how much experience Buran had in combat and especially how well he knew himself and his own skills.

Of course, Rean and Roan were not slow. Since they couldnʼt pinpoint the right position of his fall in time, they might as well hit the entire area!

ʼDeath Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!ʼ

Buran saw the two big arcs of White and Dark energy coming at him. This time, however, he wasnʼt idiot enough to put himself in mid-air with another jump.

”Hmph! Just because you injured me, do you think you have the advantage?!”

As soon as he touched the ground, he didnʼt stop. Instead, his body went underground at speed even faster than his descent was!

The twins were taken aback by that. However, Roanʼs cold mind didnʼt let the two of them lose focus. He immediately looked at Rean and nodded.

Rean understood what he meant and nodded as well.

Light Element once again gathered around Rean. However, it was not an attack this time. Suddenly, Rean and Roan jumped back in a specific direction. As for the place where they were a moment ago, another two earth spikes appeared in a flash. This time, the Earth Spikes came out of the ground at least twice as faster. If not for their timely reaction, they would definitely have been hit by them.

Yet, Rean and Roan didnʼt stop. They kept jump right and left, back and forth, avoid several Earth Spikes that could come from anywhere. It was as if they predicted every attack.

The observers, Okrin, Lana, and Westren, were shocked by that. However, they were not as shocked as Buran himself!

ʼWhat?! Dodging once could be attributed to luck, but not several times in a roll. My cultivation is over an entire realm above theirs. It should be impossible for them to find my presence with Spiritual Sense while Iʼm hidden in the ground. Just how can they tell where I am?!ʼ

Thatʼs because Rean was using Buranʼs Life Force to find his location under them. He might be able to hide his presence from Spiritual Energy, but as long as he is alive, he wonʼt be able to conceal his Life Force!

ʼKeep dodging. This kind of Earth tunneling and fast Earth Element materialization definitely spends a lot of Spiritual Energy. If he continues like this, he will run out of energy way before we do.ʼ

Rean nodded and did as Roan said.

Sure enough, the sudden flash spikes stopped in just a few moments. However, that didnʼt mean Buran gave up.

”You were really a surprise. In that case, letʼs see how you deal with this.”

Suddenly, two different Elements gathered around Buranʼs body. Rean and Roan were shocked to see both elements flowing into the ground. This was the first time they had seen someone using more than a single element other than themselves.

”Itʼs Water and Earth... He can use Wood Element!”
