Death… And Me

Chapter 748 - Convenience

Agis immediately shook his head as he said, ʼThat would be a problem. We canʼt join the Zasfins since it would definitely reveal our identity. Where have you seen this many Core and Soul Fusion Realm humans before?ʼ

He was right. Everyone in their team has entered the Core and Soul Fusion Realm by now...except for Frandin and Xiria, of course. One must not forget that Xiria and Frandin were still in the Foundation Establishment Realm when they separated from Rean, Kentucky, and Roan.

ʼIt would be easy to connect the dots and tell that we were part of Reanʼs group back in the Asume Clan.ʼ

Everyone agreed with Agis on that.

Malaka then suggested, ʼIn that case, do we join the demon beastsʼ side? To be honest, I think this is an excellent opportunity to see the results of our time in Valaria Swamp. Not to mention that the demon beasts should be as annoyed with the Zasfins as us.ʼ

Frandin didnʼt like that idea very much as he said, ʼDonʼt forget that Xiria and I are also Zasfins. If this war is won by them, itʼll be our race thatʼll suffer. I donʼt really feel like fighting my own kin.ʼ

Indeed, Frandin had always made it clear that he didnʼt like humans. Or, to be more specific, humans who simply accepted their fate as slaves. He never said that he had anything against the Zasfins. He definitely didnʼt want to go around killing them either.

Xiria was the same. She did like humans more than other Zasfins, but that didnʼt mean she wanted to fight her own race. What if the war reached her Asume Clan? Wouldnʼt it put them in peril? She was certain that the demon beasts wouldnʼt simply let them go. After all, it wouldnʼt be a surprise for her clan to join the fight against the demon beasts, and the same could be said for Frandinʼs father, the City Lord.

At that moment, an awkward situation took place. Agisʼs group didnʼt care about fighting the Zasfins, but Frandin and Xiria did. With that being said, what should they do?

Calina pondered a bit before saying, ʼMaybe thatʼs it.ʼ Everyone looked at her, waiting for Calina to continue. ʼWe have been moving together for these last few years after separating from Rean and Roan. During this time, our cultivation has improved a lot, especially after the Spiritual Energy of the world has returned to normal. Perhaps, itʼs the right time to separate.ʼ

Xiria was taken aback as she asked for clarification, ʼDo you mean youʼll leave Frandin and me?ʼ

Calina shook her head as she cleared up everyoneʼs doubts, saying, ʼNo. I mean real separation. All of us! Itʼs about time for everyone to take their destinies into their own hands.ʼ

This time, Agis and the others were also left at a loss for words. ʼThis...ʼ

Indeed, they had relied upon each other ever since Rean, Roan, and Kentucky left. That had obviously brought many benefits to them both in cultivation and combat experience. There was nothing to complain about.

Agis was the first one to agree with Calina, saying, ʼIʼm up for it. Itʼs obvious that this war is imminent. If we continue with Frandin and Xiria, our wills are bound to clash at some point. With that, separation is the best option. Not only that, but I agree with Calina and will choose somewhere to head alone. I want to see how far I can go by myself.ʼ

Malaka couldnʼt help but ask, ʼWhat about the Spiritual Sense bending skill? Agis is the only one capable of using it because of his Yang Energy. Calina, Qia, and I canʼt do it.ʼ

Qia didnʼt seem to mind that as she said, ʼHave you forgotten what Rean and Roan said in the past? If not because of the Spiritual Sense bending skill, we would never be able to do such things as walking in the Zasfinsʼ cities. Weʼll basically fall into the situation we should have from the start. Besides, I think Iʼll try to join the demon beastsʼ side as well. I have my own reasons for that.ʼ

Calina knew what reasons those were, saying, ʼYou basically think that Rean and Roan are definitely on the demon beastsʼ side. At the very least, they arenʼt helping the Zasfins, thatʼs for sure.ʼ Calina then smiled as she said, ʼAlright, Iʼll join them as well. However, Iʼll head somewhere else where I can do it alone. Letʼs see whoʼll find them first.ʼ

Qia agreed with Calina on that, saying with a light grin, ʼLetʼs!ʼ

Agis knew that he had an advantage thanks to Reanʼs help. However, he wasnʼt idiotic enough to not use it, so he didnʼt say he would. ʼVery well. Then, thatʼs decided.ʼ Agis then looked at Malaka, Frandin, and Xiria before asking them, ʼWhat about the three of you? What will you do?ʼ

Frandin pondered a bit, saying, ʼIʼll join the Zasfins to fight the demon beasts. However, thereʼs no need to worry about me. I owe you guys way too much, especially the twins. Although Iʼll be fighting on the opposite side, I wonʼt talk about you or them.ʼ

Xiria grabbed Frandinʼs hand and nodded, saying, ʼIʼll do the same thing. However, I prefer to go together with you.ʼ

Agis and the others didnʼt seem to be too surprised by that. A lot of time has passed, and it increased the bond between Frandin and Xiria. In the end, they simply got together.

Frandin, of course, agreed with that as he responded with a light smile, ʼYou are more than welcome.ʼ

Malaka was the last one. ʼWell...Iʼll think about it. I just donʼt know whether Iʼll join the war or not. Itʼs not like this is the only option available. Hahaha!ʼ

That night, everyone shared a meal and enjoyed their time. They didnʼt know when they might see each other again or if they would at all. One must remember that death was always an option. Perhaps they would find the twins before that. Who knows?

The next day, they left the city and headed to a secluded place. There, they shared the spoils of their travel equally and finally departed in different directions...at least thatʼs what happened with Frandin, Xiria, Calina, and Qia. As for Agis, a certain happy-go-lucky girl began to follow him.

Agisʼs mouth could not help but twitch since Malaka wasnʼt trying to hide her presence at all. With that, he could not help but ask, ”What the hell are you doing?”

Malaka came out and shrugged her shoulders, responding, ”I said I was going to think about it, didnʼt I? Iʼve decided to follow you.”

Agis massaged his forehead in response. It was obvious that he hated that idea. ”Why?”

Malaka smiled after hearing the question as she replied with only one word.

”Convenience.”
