Death… And Me

Chapter 587 - Fourth Form

Malaka had no problems entering the Late Stage of the Core Formation Realm. Breaking through a stage was definitely much easier than a realm, after all. Not to mention that Malaka used the same cultivation technique as Calina, which had been further revised by Roan. The only things spent during that breakthrough were the Rank Two Spirit Stones.

Roan then nodded after that, satisfied.

”Thatʼs about it. Qia said that she would need around another year to breakthrough into the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. Rean and I will need two years to do that, at the very least. Agis had just recently entered the Late Stage as well, so he will take much longer to reach the Peak of the Core Formation Realm. Chances are that Malaka will get there first due to her Elemental Affinity and this worldʼs environment.”

Everyone nodded after hearing that. That more or less wrapped everything they needed to know. From now on, they needed more Spirit Stones.

”Alright, letʼs go to Fhanzen.”

Once again, Frandin was ignored. Well, he was used to that already.

Their group had gathered because they were close to Fhanzen City in Gorea Country. Without wasting time, they went to the city. Of course, Agis, Malaka, and Calina were sent into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Rean and Roan stayed out, though. After all, they had to follow Frandin.

At some point, Reanʼs group noticed a few Zasfin cultivators here and there, which showed that they were getting close to the city. The further they went, the greater the movement. Finally, they were able to see the city walls in the distance, especially the thin layer of the Protection Formation. Like most cities in this world, the city used the formation to protect against the weather instead of attacks.

By the time they got to the gate, there was already a giant queue of Zasfins and their humans waiting to pay the fee to enter. As always, Rean could see humans being mistreated by everyone, but he knew he couldnʼt do anything about it.

Roan, on the other hand, was more interested in the city itself.

ʼAs expected of a City bordering a Bloodline Trial. Itʼs at least ten times bigger than Kastran City.ʼ

Frandin agreed with Roan.

ʼI believe Fhazen has at least two to three million Zasfin and humans living inside. This is considered a very big city in our world.ʼ

Rean then put the thoughts about the humans behind before adding his piece.

ʼThatʼs a good thing. I will have no problem selling the Earth High-Level weapons I made in the auction. The only doubt is if they will try to do something to us because Frandin is this weak.ʼ

One must remember that the previous auction house tried to tail Rean and Frandin after they left.

Roan shook his head, though.

ʼIt shouldnʼt be a problem. Because of its proximity to the Bloodline Trials, the rules in the city are probably very strict. This is directly connected to the Imperial Householdʼs face. At the very least, they wonʼt try anything against us while inside the city.ʼ

Rean and Frandin nodded.

ʼThatʼs good, then.ʼ

Eventually, Reanʼs group arrived at the gate, where Frandin had to pay Spirit Stones for him and the twins to enter. Since they were already there, Rean took the chance to have Frandin ask.

”Sorry, sir. Would you mind telling me where I can find an auction house?”

The guard nodded and explained where it was located. Or better yet, where ʼtheyʼ were located. Because of the cityʼs size, there was more than a single auction house there.

Reanʼs group then continued on their way to the city center.

However, they failed to notice that someoneʼs Soul Power had been covering the entrance of Fhanzen City all the time. As mentioned before, Reanʼs Light and Spiritual Sense bending skills didnʼt work on Soul Power. Also, because the one using it couldnʼt be seen, it couldnʼt be blamed that they didnʼt notice anything.

”Theyʼre here!”

Immediately, the guy got up and ordered the subordinate on his side.

”Go tell Senior Jamil that the prey has appeared.”

The subordinate quickly left. Following that, the man began to follow Rean and Roan from afar. He heard from Jamil that Spiritual Sense was useless against the twins, so he kept using his Soul Power. Fortunately for him, he was at the Peak Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. Not only that, but he had a high Soul Power and a Rank Two Bloodline Mark. That allowed his Soul Power to spread for over 100 meters. With that, he followed Reanʼs group without ever seeing them with his eyes directly.

However, after walking a few kilometers, Roan narrowed his eyes.

ʼSomethingʼs off.ʼ

Rean immediately looked at him and asked.

ʼWhat do you mean? Are we being watched?ʼ

Roan nodded.

ʼHow?ʼ

ʼI donʼt know. I have no proof other than my instincts. However, Iʼm sure that weʼre being watched.ʼ

Rean didnʼt doubt it. Roan had seen way too many events like these when he was a Death Spirit. Roanʼs instincts were far from something Rean could match.

ʼHmm... I donʼt feel anything within my Radar Skill. There are many Spiritual Senses around us, but none of them seem to be repetitive, nor is any of them following us.ʼ

Rean was a lot better with that skill of his, but even he couldnʼt feel anything. However, Rean and Roan immediately understood why that was.

ʼSoul Power!ʼ

Still, why do they know that one must use Soul Power if they wanted to follow Rean and Roan?

ʼCould it be because of what happened in Kastran City?ʼ

ʼThatʼs hard to say. Perhaps, using Soul Power to watch over those who enter the city is the norm.ʼ

ʼI find it hard to believe, though.ʼ

Roan agreed with Rean.

ʼI think the same. Letʼs go to that alley.ʼ

Reanʼs group then entered an area with less movement before they grabbed Frandinʼs arm and burst forward.

ʼLife Style, First Form, Enhancement!ʼ

In a flash, the two disappeared ahead. To make sure they wouldnʼt catch anyoneʼs attention, Rean also used his camouflage skill. That being said, no one could see their groupʼs movement unless they were using Soul Power as well.

Sure enough, the man following the two immediately reacted.

”Fuck! How did they find me?”

Nevertheless, he was a Peak Core and Soul Fusion Realm Zasfin Cultivator. Although Rean and Roan were fast, he wasnʼt the least bit slower. Nonetheless, that was more than enough for the twins to find out who was following them.

ʼPeak Core and Soul Fusion Realm. Someone with cultivation like that is bound to be known in this city.ʼ

ʼCorrect. That means...ʼ

Roan couldnʼt even finish his sentence when the twinsʼ vision suddenly turned red.

ʼKilling intent!ʼ

Right in front of them, another Zasfin cultivator had appeared. Just like the one following them, this one was also using Soul Power to see where Rean and Roan were located.

”Where do you think youʼre going?!”

The guy immediately pounced in the twinsʼ direction as he brandished the halberd in his hands. Earth and Water Element gathered around his body. After that, he unleashed his skill together with his Soul Power.

ʼMountain Strike!ʼ

Frandinʼs face went pale in response. If that strike connected, he would be instantly pulverized. The guy in front of him wasnʼt hiding his Late Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivation. That wasnʼt something Frandinʼs body could ever fight against.

However, Rean and Roan coldly smiled when they saw that. Immediately, they brought out their White and Black Stars before they struck right back at their opponent.

Their hairs changed color as Light and Dark Element gathered around the two. Not only that, but the White and Black Swords increased the amount of Elemental Energy even more. Right after, they assumed a jumping stance.

The Zasfin in front of them was flying in their direction with his attack. Little did he know that he had just put himself in the worst position possible.

Eventually, Light Element burst out of the twinsʼ legs as they soared against their enemy. For the first time in years, the Fourth Form of the Death Style had appeared once again.

ʼDeath Style, Fourth Form, Soaring Dragon!ʼ

Reanʼs camouflage skill disappeared as the twins became two black and white dragons ascending to the skies! The man was taken aback but didnʼt panic. In his eyes, there was no way two Core Formation Realm could fight his Mountain Strike head-on. Let alone that they were humans. Most of Zasfin looked down on humans, and he wasnʼt an exception.

”Die!”

However, what happened next made his face far paler than Frandinʼs. His Soul Power, together with his Earth and Water Element, was pierced through like a hot knife on butter. His own halberd didnʼt fare any better. It was only a piece of Earth High-Level Equipment. If it was only Roan or Rean, it could resist the strike.

However, the twins attacked together while exchanging elements. They were finally fighting together after a very long time. Last but not least, there were also Reanʼs newest Earth Peak-Level Swords, the Black and White Stars. From the moment he decided to fight the twins alone, his fate was decided.

*Swish, swish, swish!*

Spiritual Energy, Soul Power, Elements, the halberd, and finally, the manʼs own body was bisected, not giving him the chance to defend himself at all!

ʼImpossible!ʼ

That was the last thought he had before dropping dead on the ground.

Rean and Roan then landed on the roof of a building before looking around. This time, all the Zasfins saw what happened.

”We need to leave.”
