Death… And Me

Chapter 240 - Calina Sasamil

The girl smiled at Roan before replying.

”It was just a small test. Since Malaka was so good at controlling the Water Element, I thought she would be able to defend against this little trick. But it seems that Iʼve overestimated her. She didnʼt even react.”

Roan showed a puzzled expression as he looked at her.

”Did I talk to you?”

That answer pulled her legs. Of course, she thought Roan was talking to her.

Soon after...

*crash, crash, crash...*

Everyone noticed the sound of targets being destroyed in the air. It was then that the girl and the onlookers noticed. Even with the sudden attack, Malaka hasnʼt stopped attacking the targets at all.

ʼWho would do such a thing in that situation? You were almost killed, you know?ʼ

That was the thought running in everyoneʼs minds. Of course, the girl who attacked Malaka was also taken aback by Malakaʼs indifferent behavior. Why is she continuing to attack the targets as if nothing had happened?

Well, Rean and Roan didnʼt seem that surprised, though.

Finally...

*pin!*

A sound came out of the Water Disruption Formations, which indicated the end of the dispute.

”Hahaha! I won!”

*Pah!*

”I won your head!”

Suddenly, Roan slapped the back of Malakaʼs head.

”Ouch!”

”Why did you do that? I won, didnʼt I?”

Roan wasnʼt the least bit happy at all.

”Let alone the fact that you and Nightingale here just caught everyoneʼs attention, you knew very well that those icicles were coming for you. Why did you ignore them? Since when did I train such an idiot? Iʼll ask you once more, do you wanna die?”

Malaka sulked as she explained.

”But... you and Rean were just a few meters away. I noticed you moving with my Spiritual Sense even before she shot the Water Icicles. I knew that you two would definitely protect me.”

The girl who attacked Malaka couldnʼt help but ask.

”Wait! You knew that the attacks were coming and did nothing. Do you want me to believe that?”

Still, Malaka looked at the girl with a proud expression.

”My brothers are super strong! They would never let anything happen to me. Even Kentucky helped! Hahaha!”

*Pah!*

”Ouch!”

Roan slapped the back of her head once more.

”Am I your bodyguard?”

Rean couldnʼt help but say in response.

”Well, you do have the black clothes already. You just need a tie, and youʼll look the part.”

Roanʼs mouth twitched.

”You shut up!”

He returned his attention to Malaka and continued.

”Next time you refrain from reacting, Iʼll make sure to beat you up to the point you wonʼt get up for an entire week.”

Malaka felt wronged. Just now, she won another hundred Rank Three Spirit Stones, but Roan didnʼt seem to care about her ʼamazingʼ accomplishment.

Rean shrugged his shoulders.

”I hate to say it. I really, really do. However, I agree with Roan this time, Malaka. What if we were not paying attention? Donʼt do something this risky next time, okay?”

Malaka nodded as her head drooped right after. It was hard to say if she was becoming smarter since she knew that they would definitely protect her.... or dumber since she should have reacted nonetheless.

”Anyway, you two did enough for a day. Letʼs leave this place.”

”Wait! I still have to take the girlʼs payment.”

Rean ran to the side of the girl while extending his hand.

”You lost, pay up!”

”Ah!”

The girl finally came back to herself.

”Are you kidding me? Are you going to ignore what just happened? Wonʼt you ask why I attacked her or anything like that?”

Rean shrugged his shoulders.

”What else could it be? Jealousy, of course. My little sister is super cute and talented, so you wanted to teach her a lesson. Isnʼt that obvious?”

Rean himself and Roan didnʼt really believe these words. However, they had noticed her clothes, which represented the Imperial Family or those closely related to them. Besides, the fact that she had that Yin Energy inside her showed that she wasnʼt simple. They quickly decided that it was better not to get involved with her to prevent more issues. If they wanted to try something, it definitely wouldnʼt be in a place like this where everyone was looking. Besides, even though Malaka ignored her attack because of Rean and Roanʼs presence, the twins knew that she was more powerful than Malaka for sure. Her Water Element control was definitely superior as well.

Well, Malaka was two realm stages lower than her, though.

As soon as the blond girl heard that, her face became as red as a tomato.

”Wh-whoʼs jealous? Iʼm a member of the Imperial Family, wh-why would I feel jealous of a country bumpkin like her?”

Reanʼs expression finally showed some real surprise this time.

ʼErrr... I was... right?ʼ

Yep. Rean was, surprisingly, 100% correct. This girlʼs name was Calina Sasamil, from the Sasamil Imperial Family. As one could imagine, she had imperial blood in her veins. Calina was sent to this place to participate in the Profound Abyss as a representative of the Imperial Family.

Like the Profound Abyss, this type of training grounds could be found in several different places in the Sasamil Empire. It was quite common for the Imperial Family and those closely related to them to send a few of their young ones to those locations. Obviously, Calina Sasamil was the chosen one this time.

As for her different appearance from the typical black hair and eyes, that was because of a political marriage between the Sasamil Empire and the Chroles Empire far in the north. She also had the blood of the northʼs people, where blond hair and clear eye colors were not uncommon.

In fact, to show the Imperial Familyʼs higher talent, she planned to make a show in this gathering. However, someone had already caught everyoneʼs attention by the time she arrived. Of course, that put her plans in disarray, plus she did feel a little jealous of Malakaʼs cute appearance and high talent that didnʼt lose to her own. It was then that she decided to make Malaka as an example to display her advantages.

In the end, it was a completely ridiculous reason as that. It was Rean and Roanʼs mistake to think that her actions had a more profound meaning behind them.

”Hmph! Anyway, as a member of the Imperial Family, Iʼll obviously pay for my loss. Here, take it.”

She quickly took out 100 Rank Three Spirit Stones and passed them to Rean.

A second later, a man came running from the middle of the crowd.

”Calina! Here you are! Donʼt walk around on your own like that.”

Roan immediately identified the guy. It was the same guy who told him to give up the Yin Ice Ore. Of course, the man also noticed Roan... not that he cared anyway.

The man looked at the crowd gathering around and asked.

”What happened here? Did someone hurt you?”

Calina shook her head.

”Of course not! Who would dare to touch me in this place, huh? Anyway, I finished my business here. Letʼs go.”

The man sighed and quickly followed the girl. He was sent here as one of her protectors. His name was Valeu Samikil, a member of one of the clans that served the Imperial Family. His cultivation was at the peak of the Core Formation Realm. He would also enter the Profound Abyss with Calina later to continue protecting her as ordered.

Rean then returned to Malaka and Roanʼs side. By now, Kentucky had already come back. It is just that he was a little dirty because of the kicks he did on the ground.

Rean then looked at Malaka, whose sad expression completely disappeared as she hugged Kentucky. It was a wonder whether she had genuinely reflected on her actions or not.

”That blond girl kinda reminds me of Malaka, donʼt you think?”

Roan had to admit that Rean was right.

”Whatever. Letʼs leave this place. Look around. Just how many people do you want to be aware of our strength? Couldnʼt you two be a bit more careful?”

Rean shrugged his shoulders and replied.

”Still, we made a fortune today. We can start cultivating with these Rank Three Spirit Stones once we stabilize our cultivation later.”

Malaka then looked at Rean.

”It was me who won these stones. I want some too!”

Rean laughed.

”Alright, alright. Iʼll give you enough for your cultivation once we are back at the sect.”

The Twins, Kentucky, and Malaka then left the gathering under everyoneʼs eyes while talking. Well, it was basically only Malaka and Rean speaking with Kentucky making his ʼchickʼ sounds.
