Death… And Me

Chapter 542 - Formation Down

However, as soon as the twins left their room, they noticed Kentucky through their connection.

”Oh, right! With our cultivations increased, Kentucky is now free to advance to Peak Stage Three Demon Beast.”

Roan ignored that, though.

”Iʼm heading to the arena anyway. You can go ahead and take a look at that pervert bird.”

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response.

”Alright, then.”

Rean then went to the pervert bird fan club area, where he saw quite a lot of girls with a concerned expression. Rean could be said to be one of the very few men who could get close to the bird. After all, the rest seemed to hate it.

”Is everything alright?”

”Oh! Rean! Come, come! Take a look at Kentucky and check if heʼs fine.”

Rean smiled in response before being guided to where Kentucky was. There, he noticed that Kentucky had a painful expression on his face. However, Reanʼs mouth twitched at that scene. Many girls were rubbing his feathers, trying to make him feel better.

ʼYou dammed perverted bird. Youʼre even using your breakthrough to call their attention.ʼ

Of course, Rean couldnʼt tell the girls the truth. First, they wouldnʼt believe him. Second, they would despise him instead for ʼignoringʼ Kentuckyʼs plight.

”Ahem... Heʼs fine. Itʼs just that heʼs breaking through to the Peak Stage Three level. This is just a side effect of becoming stronger. It shouldnʼt take long before he feels better.”

All the girls sighed in relief.

”Thatʼs great!”

They all celebrated right after that. After all, their idol was getting even stronger. It was then that Rean noticed Calina arriving there. Immediately, he sent her a Spiritual Sense message.

ʼHow come they didnʼt notice Kentucky was just pretending? Itʼs so obvious at this point!ʼ

Calina laughed mentally as she replied.

ʼHehehe. Donʼt underestimate the power of love. Many of the girls have definitely noticed that Kentucky isnʼt really feeling bad or anything. Still, they like him the way he is. You must understand that most girls love fluffy things, especially a cute one like Kentucky. Theyʼre more than happy to go along with his act. Itʼs a win-win situation.ʼ

Rean shook his head, not even trying to understand those words.

Calina then smiled at Rean before saying.

”Anyway, congratulations. Did Roan break through as well?”

Rean smiled back as he nodded.

”Yes, Roan did. He should have gone to the arena to try things out now.”

Calina nodded and immediately turned around to head to the arenas. As for Kentucky, the other girls would take care of him.

Rean then took a last look at the shameless Minokawa before leaving as well. He also wanted to try the arenas.

Everyone noticed the twinsʼ breakthrough, so there were many eager to give it a try in the arena against them. Well, all of those who wanted to try fighting them were in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm already. Those at the Core Formation Realm gave up on the idea a long time ago.

Calina and Malaka, of course, didnʼt have a choice. Roan made sure to give them special attention while testing his and the girlsʼ abilities. As for Rean, it wasnʼt that necessary since they could share memories as long as they wished to. That being said, Rean rarely fought against Roan.

Wulio still gave it a try against Roan and won without much difficulty. After all, he wasnʼt an ordinary Late Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivator. He could also jump stages to fight those stronger than him. Not to mention that unless the twins fought together, it would be too hard to match a Late Core and Soul Fusion Realmʼs power alone.

Nonetheless, Roan still gave Wulio a run for his money, leaving a few shallow injuries behind with his Death Style. Wulio couldnʼt help but feel like a knife was on his throat every time they clashed. One mistake and the advantage he had in cultivation would become meaningless.

The one closest to a breakthrough now would be Malaka. However, she was several months to a year away from it, so she definitely wouldnʼt reach the Late Stage of the Core Formation Realm before the natural formation went down.

Sure enough, the formation came down not too long after. Eleven days after Rean, Roan, and Kentucky had their breakthroughs, the formation finally began to crumble apart.

Jana was on the side of the natural formation core with the Formation Masters of her Lakure Race. They observed the core crumble together with the formation. By now, there was no red on it anymore. It was just a giant black sphere that would soon turn into dust.

Out of nowhere, Laro appeared in their room as he looked at the black sphere as well.

”Ancestor.”

Laro nodded before saying.

”Itʼs time. Gather everyone.”

Jana nodded and used her Spiritual Sense to pass the order. Obviously, the twinsʼ group heard that as well.

Everyone from the Lakure and human race gathered so Laro could talk to them.

”As you can see, the formation is coming down. The humans can go ahead and leave the valley if they want to. Itʼs not like you were locked here anyway. As for the Lakures, stay here for the moment. We have our defenses mounted in the valley, so itʼs the best place to stay at the moment if something goes wrong.”

As mentioned before, the Lakures already let the humans roam freely if they wanted to. The ones who stayed here had their own reasons. For example, Erbec and Suan stayed so that they could be considered one of the reasons for the negotiation if it went well.

Tiria and Juvian pondered for a bit as they looked at the formation. Juvian came back to the valley after he finished reporting the things to Zuan. Well, that was basically because the twins were here as well.

Sure enough, at least half of the humans took this chance to leave. The other half just stayed because there wasnʼt anywhere to go with the natural formation running. Now, they could finally go home.

And just like that, Laro waited for the Sasamil Empireʼs representative to come.
