Death… And Me

Chapter 1221 - He Didnʼt Feel A Thing I

On their way to the Demising Catacombs, Rean thought about something else. ”By the way, Roan. The Lifeʼs Nemesis Rocks are a type of ore, arenʼt they?”

Roan nodded as he asked in response, ”They should be. Why?”

Rean then looked at Kentucky below him. ”Kentucky, Golden-level ores are the same as Heaven-level ones. Canʼt you feel their presence? Itʼll make things a lot easier if you can tell us the way.”

Kentucky pondered in silence for a bit before saying, ”It should be possible. However, my senses have been affected ever since we arrived in this place. Thatʼs because Golden-level materials are much, much more common than back from where we came. It makes things a little hard to pinpoint specific ones if weʼre too far away.”

”Thatʼs good enough,” Rean said in response. ”At least we have a general idea as to where we should go.”

Liana couldnʼt help but ask, ”Now that I think about it, what race is Kentucky from? If I knew a Demon Bird like him existed, I would have gone after one a long time ago.”

Rean shook his head as he replied, ”Thatʼs a mystery. We found him by coincidence, so we have no idea which race he comes from. Well, we donʼt really mind not knowing it.” Obviously, Rean wouldnʼt say he was a Divine Demon Beast. It didnʼt seem like Divine Demon Beasts were common in the Realm of Gods either. Or perhaps thatʼs just because they werenʼt in the demon beast territories.

Liana nodded after that. ”Well, Iʼve never seen one like him either, so I guess it makes sense. Still, the fact he can detect Golden-level materials is very useful.” Although she said that, she didnʼt think that it was some super impressive ability. Golden-level materials? She could have as much as she wanted with her background.

The group continued to fly for a few hours. The ghosts they saw moving about in the area also began to increase in strength. Reanʼs group even saw a few who seemed to start to give birth to their Yin Ghost Cores, although the cores were not complete. According to Roanʼs research, Ghosts with semi Yin Ghost Cores were as strong as Saint Realm or perhaps even Elemental Transformation Realm cultivators.

Of course, that wasnʼt all. When Kentucky passed by, these high-level ghosts immediately noticed their presence and began to follow. They could feel life force a lot easier than the weaker ones. Fortunately, Kentucky was truly fast in midair. Besides, although ghosts could fly, they were flying demon beasts, which gave Kentucky a higher advantage. Kentucky was able to outrun every single ghost without any issues.

Eventually, they saw something that looked like a huge cemetery in the distance. There were tombstones everywhere as well as ghosts going back and forth.

”I think I can see the entrance,” Rean said as he pointed in a certain direction. Sure enough, a huge gate appeared in front of their group. However, it didnʼt lead inside a building. Instead, it seemed to be connected to the underground.

Roan immediately got up and took his White Scythe out. ”There are a few ghosts there. Prepare to fight.”

Rean, Kentucky, and Liana nodded in response. They could see at least two semi Yin Ghost Cores there, not to mention a lot of common ghosts as well.

Kentucky was the first one to act. He immediately dove down, leaving Rean, Roan, and Liana to fend for themselves as they fell from the skies. Rean and Roan didnʼt mind it, though. The ghosts were all gathered around the gate, as it seemed to be a place with a lot of Yin Energy coming out. That was the perfect target for Kentuckyʼs attack.

*Creeeeeeeee!*

Black and white fire spread around Kentuckyʼs body, making him look like a giant meteor. The ghosts noticed his presence and didnʼt try to dodge. All they could tell was that something with a lot of life force was coming at them, so they threw themselves against Kentucky as well.

*Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam...*

*Boom!*

Kentucky pulverized many of the ghosts along the way before crashing down in a huge explosion of flames. With Kentuckyʼs defense, he didnʼt suffer even a scratch, but all the ghosts around the hit point were wiped out in an instant. Even one of the semi Yin Ghost Core ghosts got destroyed in the process.

When Roan jumped from Kentuckyʼs back, he already knew where the Minokawa would land. With that being said, he moved in the direction where the second ghost with a semi Yin Ghost Core was located. ”Rean, take care of the useless ones.”

”On it!” Rean obviously knew what Roan was doing, so he took out his Black Star and began to attack the lower-level ghosts flying in their direction.

ʼMirage Assault!ʼ

ʼThree Claws of the Dragon!ʼ

ʼFlaming Blade Arc!ʼ

*Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!*

Ghosts were not like the geniuses of the Sacred Land. Their strength was really just like the average cultivator at their level. With that said, none of the ghosts with a semi Yin Ghost Core stood a chance against Reanʼs attacks. Not to mention that Kentucky got rid of a lot of them at once, which made Reanʼs life a lot easier.

Thanks to that, Roan and the ghost with the semi Yin Ghost Core met each other in a moment.

ʼDeath Style, Descending Slicer!ʼ

Roan began to spin together with his scythe, aiming his descent at the ghost.

The Yin Ghost also made a move, releasing a huge amount of Yin Energy and Dark Element that tried to corrupt Roan. Unfortunately for the ghost, it chose the wrong target. Roan cut through that wave of Yin Energy and Dark Element right in the middle, opening a clear path to the Yin Ghost itself.

*Swish!*

The ghost and even its semi Yin Ghost Core were sliced in half, making all the Dark Element and Yin Energy disappear a moment later. Sure enough, Yin Energy and Dark Element had little use against the twins.. Yes, thatʼs because Rean was also hit by the Yin Energy and Dark Element, but he didnʼt feel a thing.
