Death… And Me

Chapter 1107 - We Can Only Do That

Back in the Sacred Land, the guardians of the participants were brought into the guestsʼ hall, where they found a sphere of Divine Energy at the center. It was maintained by a formation that was connected to the region where the second test was happening.

Cassia then explained for those that joined them for the first time, ”Just send your Divine Sense inside the sphere and your thoughts on which participant you want to check. The formation will match the youngstersʼ appearance and show whatʼs happening to them in real-time. However, if youʼre not part of the country from where a certain participant came from, you wouldnʼt be able to see them. You can only watch the participants of your own country.

Naturally, everyone immediately sent their Divine Senses and was able to see the place where the participants were sent. Fabio and the others then thought about a certain location as soon as they received the images of the surroundings of their participants. ʼThatʼs not very good...ʼ Most people thought at the same time.

Rean, Roan, and Milina proceeded to find some kind of marker that could show them where they were. Unfortunately, the snowstorm continued to impair their senses. ”Rean, can you send some Yang Energy again?”

Rean nodded as he was able to recover way more than he used, so it wasnʼt a problem. ”There you go. Are you fine now?”

”Yes, thank you.” Milina then looked around and couldnʼt help but ask, ”Do you think we are still in the Sacred Landʼs territory?”

Roan shook his head as he replied, ”I took a look at the map to know where we were coming before we took the teleport to Huring City. Neither the Huring nor the surrounding countries had an environment of snow and ice. However...”

Rean understood what Roan meant. ”This might as well be a dimensional realm, right?”

”Exactly,” Roan said in response.

Of course, they had an easy way to test it out. ʼSister Orb, can you feel any spatial power? Is this a dimensional realm?ʼ

Sister Orb immediately answered. [Not at all. This is definitely someplace far from the Sacred Land. There are no spatial powers here other than the one used to teleport you to this place. But even that is fading away after completing its task that was to teleport you here.]

ʼCan you find the exit or something like that?ʼ Roan asked.

[No. Itʼs not like there are formations or anything like that here. However, you should not let your guard down. This is definitely not some friendly place.]

Milina couldnʼt help but ask, ”Dimensional realm? Is that true?” Obviously, she couldnʼt hear Sister Orb.

”Thatʼs just an idea,” Rean answered.

*Gruuuuuu!*

Suddenly, a weird sound began to come from afar.

*Gruuuuuu!*

*Gahhhhh!*

*Roooooahhhh*

Not only that, but it felt as the sound was getting closer the more they paid attention to it. Following that, the sound of other people could be heard as well.

”Fuck! Run, run!”

”The Sacred Land is crazy!”

”How could they send us to this place?”

”We are gon-”

*Arrrgh...**

A few seconds later, a group of cultivators appeared a few tens of meters away. That was the first thing Reanʼs group saw other than snow and ice so far. However, something they had never seen before appeared soon after, trying to catch those cultivators.

”The hell?!”

Without thinking twice, Rean, Roan, and Milina turned around and began to run away as well.

ʼLife Style, Second Form, Enhancement!ʼ

ʼDeath Style, First Movement Form, Shadow Steps!ʼ

Rean and Roan immediately used their movement skills and dashed away. Of course, when Rean did that, he also touched Milinaʼs shoulder, giving her the same boost.

ʼEarth Stream!ʼ

Milina heard it during the first test regarding what Reanʼs ability could do, so she was happy to receive the same treatment as Regio at this moment. She also had her own movement skill, which increased her speed even more, when combined with Reanʼs ability.

The reason they started to run was very simple. Thatʼs because something that looked like an army of undead was coming in hot pursuit of the cultivators. ”There are zombies in this place?” Rean couldnʼt help but ask.

Roanʼs mouth twitched after hearing that. ”Fuck your zombies! In a real situation, a zombie apocalypse would never work. At least not like it did in the films you watched. They have too many flaws, idiot.” Roan then explained, ”I can feel the Yin Energy in their bodies. Itʼs the same one thatʼs trying to invade our bodies.”

”What?!” Rean and Milina were taken aback. In fact, Roan wasnʼt trying to hide his voice, so the cultivators running behind also heard that. ”Are you saying that weʼll turn out like that if we stay here for long?”

Roan glanced at the guy who asked that question while he kept running. ”Who the hell are you? Thatʼs your problem, so run somewhere else!”

”Fuck you! Can you see any other direction that this army isnʼt heading for other than yours?!” The guy immediately shot back.

Indeed, there was too many undead...or whatever they were. Running in the direction of Reanʼs group was their only choice. ”Besides, it wasnʼt me who called this army. A few minutes after I was teleported here, I was caught in this situation by other cultivators.”

”Which ones?” Roan asked with a dark expression.

The guy shook his head as he replied, ”They have been caught already. Most likely dead now.”

Rean looked behind and couldnʼt help but ask, ”They will catch up to us like this. How can they be that fast? Does anyone know what level of cultivation they have?”

A female cultivator could not help but say in response, ”Are you an idiot? Didnʼt you notice that our Divine Senses are severely restricted in this place? No one will stop and let those guys get within a few meters of them just so that we can check what cultivation they have.”

Roan nodded in agreement. ”Indeed, heʼs an idiot.”

Reanʼs mouth twitched after hearing that, but this wasnʼt the time to rebuke. ”All this snow is what is holding us back.” They canʼt fly, so it was obvious.. ”Well, we can only do that.”
