Death… And Me

Chapter 582 - Fun Time Is Over

Roanʼs hair changed into a mix of black and white before he attacked. Escape? Such word didnʼt pass through his mind even for a second. At least, not against an opponent of this level.

ʼLife Style, First Form, Enhancement!ʼ

ʼDeath Style, First Movement Form, Shadow Steps!ʼ

In a blink of an eye, Roan disappeared from his position. Even Roce had some difficulty following Roanʼs trace.

Not good!

”Ermio, dodge!”

Unfortunately, that was too late.

ʼDeath World!ʼ

In an instant, Ermioʼs vision went black, leaving him only his Spiritual Sense to rely on. However, the chance was too abrupt for him to react in time.

ʼDeath Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!ʼ

Ermio was frightened as he saw Roanʼs sword coming at him at breakneck speeds. It was simply much faster than his own attack. That being said, Ermio immediately gave up his attack and raised his blade, trying to block that flash of black and white light.

Usually, Roan would be able to avoid Ermioʼs blade due to his higher speed. However, Roan didnʼt wish to do so. He wanted to test Reanʼs new sword, and the best way was to clash it against another weapon.

*Swish!*

Ermioʼs face went pale as he saw his Earth High-Level Sword cut in half.

ʼWhat kind of weapon is that?!ʼ

Unfortunately for Ermio, that was his last thought before being cleaved in half together with his sword. However, the Crescent Moon was an area attack, so it didnʼt stop there as the flash of black and white light went straight for Luvia on the back.

ʼImpossible!ʼ

Luvia had more time to react, though. She immediately gathered her Lightning Element and used her movement skill to dodge... or so she tried.

ʼDeath Style, First Energy Form, Shadow Bind!ʼ

Immediately, several shadow vines came out of her own shadow, locking her body in place.

”What?!”

Shadow Bind wouldnʼt be enough to hold a cultivator of Luviaʼs level down. She only had to use her Spiritual Energy and blast the vines away. Thatʼs how weak they were. However, she needed time to do that. That was exactly the amount of time Roanʼs attack took to reach her body.

Luvia saw how Roanʼs attack cleaved through both sword and Ermioʼs body. There was no way she would be able to defend against that. All she could do was gather as much Spiritual Energy as possible to create a Spiritual Energy barrier, trying to block Roanʼs attack. Of course, that would be far from enough.

However, just as the Crescent Moon was about to cleave Luvia in half...

*Kabrum!*

A spear came down from the skies, cleaving through the Black and White Energy and ultimately stopping Roanʼs White Star in its tracks. Light and Dark Element clashed with each other before an explosion of Spiritual and Elemental Energy come from the point of contact, forcing Roan to jump back.

A man then fell in front of the Lightning Spear and took it from the ground before looking at Roan. In an instant, Roan noticed the Bloodline Mark on his head, which seemed different from Frandinʼs mark.

”Human, you dare ignore my presence.”

It turned out that it was Roce who had appeared. Roan then narrowed his eyes as he looked at his trembling hands.

ʼThis guy also infuses his attacks with Soul Power. Back in Sunkan, that level of Elemental Power wouldnʼt have held Reanʼs sword back, especially since Iʼm using both his and my elements together. Itʼs impressive that although the Zasfins are weaker when it comes to Spiritual Energy and techniques alone, their Soul Power more than makes up for this gap.ʼ

Luvia sighed in relief before looking at Ermioʼs bisected corpse on the ground. However, this time, fear ran through her body. If not for Roce, she would have died together with him.

Roan then looked at Roce and was just about to talk when all of a sudden, his attention was occupied by something else.

”Hehe. It seems like the fun times are over.”

With Reanʼs Spiritual Sense bending skill, Roan felt a Spiritual Sense far above Roceʼs. Without a doubt, it was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Roan didnʼt find it strange since a smaller city like Danve also had one. Let alone one as big as Kastran.

Roan then jumped down from the wall, completely ignoring Roce.

Of course, Roce wouldnʼt just let Roan go that easily.

”Did I say you could leave?”

Roce then grabbed his spear and charged in Roanʼs direction. Lightning and Wind Element gathered around his body together with his Soul Power. With that, he wasnʼt any bit slower than Roan himself.

ʼSky Fall Spear!ʼ

The same attack came in Roanʼs direction, but far stronger as Roce was holding his spear this time.

*Boom!*

The spear went straight through Roanʼs body, not giving him a chance to dodge. However, Roce immediately noticed that the feeling of piercing oneʼs body wasnʼt right.

Sure enough, Roanʼs body began to turn into specks of white and black light.

ʼDeath Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!ʼ

Once again, Roan used his Mirage Assalt to trick his opponent, using the clone to block Roceʼs sight while he escaped.

*Thud!*

Roan then landed on the ground on the other side of the wall, right beside Frandin, who was shocked by the battle he just saw. Before he could say anything, Roan grabbed his arm with one hand. As for the other, it was holding his White Star.

ʼDeath Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!ʼ

*Bang! Shatter!*

Roanʼs speed increased even more with the Stellar Piercer, creating a hole through the protection formation of the city. Roce immediately came down and was just about to follow Roce. However, he received a Spiritual Sense message at that moment.

ʼLeave him. We donʼt know if heʼs trying to drag us away from the city. We already lost one Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivator. I donʼt want to lose one more.ʼ

Roce felt a chill on his back when he heard that. He quickly calmed down after that. A few seconds later, a man landed by his side.

”City Lord.”

That was obviously Falinʼs brother, Kastran Cityʼs City Lord, Jaliu Umal.
