Death… And Me

Chapter 1220 - You Can Have Them

Roan faintly smiled when he heard that. ”Oh! So we are dragging you, huh? Very well! Kentucky, go down. She wants to leave.”

”Wait, wait, wait!” Liana immediately changed her choice of words. ”Iʼm not being dragged along! Iʼm not being dragged along at all! Iʼm going with you out of my own volition, alright?!”

Rean still found that behavior of Liana weird. She had always acted so cold until she saw Kentucky. ”Is this the real you, or do you only act like that in front of things you like?”

”This...” A rare redness appeared on Lianaʼs face as she replied, ”Acting cold is how I really am. Iʼve never acted like this before. If not because of this beautiful Demon Bird, I wouldnʼt have gone out of my way. Itʼs all your fault, so give him to me as an apology!”

”Dream on,” Roan said without even thinking. ”Anyways, you might give up on coming with us once you find out our destination. Weʼre entering the core region of the Demising Catacombs to look for Lifeʼs Nemesis Rocks. You should be able to guess why I need it.”

Liana immediately understood the danger she was getting into. Of course, she also understood why Roan needed those things. ”The catalyst for breaking through to the Elemental Transformation Realm. However, you should really not go there right now. You guys are just too weak. Did you know that even Yin Ghosts as strong as those at the Transition Realm can be found there? Concealment techniques are useless as they can feel living beingsʼ life force.”

Roan nodded in response, saying, ”We know. However, itʼll be a lot more dangerous if I wait until I reach the peak of the Saint Realm. You saw how Gille wanted me so badly in the Sacred Land Recruitment, right? Iʼm going there right now exactly because he wouldnʼt think that Iʼm going into that place with this cultivation of mine.”

”Thatʼs... a very bold move,” Liana could not help but say.

Rean didnʼt seem too worried, though. ”Itʼs fine, itʼs fine! Although ghosts can also fly, they canʼt see us at the moment. They donʼt stay high in the skies if thereʼs nothing there for them either. We can simply keep flying at a high altitude until we get to the core region. Then we can use the second detection method to find the Lifeʼs Nemesis Rocks before going down to gather them.”

”Fly there?” Liana couldnʼt help but ask, ”You do know that the Lifeʼs Nemesis Rocks can only be found inside the catacombs itself, right? You wonʼt find a single one outside.”

Reanʼs smile disappeared almost instantly. ”Is that true?!”

Roan answered in Lianaʼs place. ”It is. So youʼre going there with me, and you didnʼt even know this much? We brought Kentucky so that we could reach the catacombs ahead of anyone else. However, we will have to press forward by foot once weʼre there.”

Roan then looked at Liana one last time, warning her once more, ”This is your last chance. You should give up right now while the ghosts below are weak. You can definitely make your way back to your country members on your own from here.”

Liana shook her head after hearing that. She was too worried that Kentucky might die there. ”Iʼm going. Iʼm still not giving up on getting Kentucky for myself. Who knows? Perhaps the two of you will die, and I can get him for myself.” Liana then faintly smiled. ”Perhaps Iʼll kill you two myself to guarantee thatʼs going to happen.”

Rean, Roan, and Kentucky immediately shook their heads in unison.

”You wonʼt do it.”

”You definitely wonʼt do it.”

”You definitely wonʼt do it for sure.”

Liana was taken aback by their words. Where exactly did all their confidence in her character come from? ʼIs it truly just because I like this Demon Bird?ʼ

”Ahem... by the way, how come you can talk, Kentucky? Donʼt worry, I wonʼt tell anyone.”

Kentucky didnʼt answer, though. He left it for Rean and Roan to come up with some excuse.

Well, Rean simply used the same excuse he had been using up till now. ”This thing about demon beasts not talking until the Transition Realm is not the same from where we came. We came from a place called Turin Region after being caught by a teleport formation trap. There, all demon beasts are able to talk after they reach Stage Six. However, we donʼt know where itʼs located from here.”

That was general knowledge, and it was also used by Etherian since people in Lukimira Sect, and Cosec City had already accepted that. No one could confirm whether it was true or not since no one could tell which were all the regions in existence in the Realm of Gods. At the very least, no one in Huring Continent and the continents around could.

”Is there such a thing?” Liana couldnʼt tell if it was true or not, but she did hear something like that from her elders, who investigated the twins. ”This is really annoying. I wish I was born there if I could have a demon beast like Kentucky at Stage Six.”

Kentucky then asked something else, ”By the way, Iʼm basically flying forward, following the flow of Yin Energy. I can only tell from which side Yin Energy concentration is higher. Am I heading in the right direction?”

Liana and Roan nodded simultaneously. They both had researched this place through the records in the Sacred Land. ”You are. Just keep flying in this direction, and we will eventually arrive there. However...”

”However what?” Rean could not help but ask.

”The catacombs were created in a way that they change shape every time. Getting there is the easy part. However, once inside, we wonʼt be able to tell right from left,” Roan explained.

Liana agreed with Roan. ”Thatʼs what I heard as well.”

Kentucky then asked Liana something else. ”It seems like you werenʼt heading there at first, right? Why did you come to the Demising Catacombs?”

Liana didnʼt see anything wrong in telling the truth. ”Mission Hall tasks. There were many tasks there that involved the Demising Catacombs. In my case, I came to look for Yin Flowers. Theyʼre both good for my cultivation and to exchange for Merit Points in the Mission Hall, as I mentioned. Itʼs just that you donʼt need to head to the catacombs to get them.”

Rean nodded after hearing that.. ”Well, if we find any there, you can have them.”
