Death… And Me

Chapter 1238: Free Gate

The reason was very simple, the Blood Spear suddenly came to a stop right in front of Roan! Roan didnʼt do anything.

*Sphhhlt!*

Suddenly, a black sword pierced through Grantoʼs heart, full of Light and Fire Element.

Roan only snorted when he saw that, though. He then looked at the shocked expression on Grantoʼs face before telling him through a Divine Sense message. ʼIdiot. Did you forget Iʼm not alone?ʼ

ʼLife Fire, Fourth Forth, Light Piercing Bomb!ʼ

*Boom!*

Reanʼs attack caught Granto by surprise, who held his destroyed torso. Granto could only turn his head before seeing a white-haired man look at him with pity. He bitterly smiled before his world went dark forever, just like Hedoi and Kluo.

Rean then looked at Roan and said, ʼSee? I told you he would forget I existed.ʼ

It turns out that the twins had always considered the chance that Granto, Hedoi, or Kluo could defend against Roanʼs sneak attack somehow. With that said, Rean offered a plan where he would be the one to act if something happened. Roan had to admit it was a good idea since the situation was promising for that. When Roan caught Grantoʼs full attention was when Rean moved out. His proficiency with Shadow Steps wasnʼt as perfect as Roanʼs, but considering Grantoʼs situation, the last thing he could care about was someone else entering the fray. No, to be more specific, Granto believed no one else other than Roan would dare fight in this situation. He didnʼt know that Rean was also immune to the Yin Energy and Dark Element in the area.

ʼLife Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!ʼ

Roan began to heal the injuries caused by Grantoʼs Blood Breath as he nodded. ʼItʼs good that you can at least seize an opportunity. I didnʼt train you so much for nothing.ʼ

Well, Rean would never expect Roan to praise him anyway. ʼYeah, yeah, yeah. Now, let me head back since I left Tiffany and Liana alone. I poured as much Light Element into their bodies as I could in this short time, so they should be fine. However, it wonʼt last long, so I have to continue pouring Light Element into them.ʼ

Roan nodded before he prepared his scythe for action. ʼAlright. Iʼll take this opportunity to get rid of the rest of the flies. The rest definitely arenʼt as prepared as Granto was.ʼ

Roan then really played Deathʼs role. He took the life of one Evil Path cultivator after another. Well, truth be told, there were no more than twenty cultivators who survived the Dark ELement, and Yin Energy burst from inside the gate. However, Roan didnʼt kill them all, only the Evil Path ones from the Blood Path Sect and other similar powers. He left the cultivators from the Sacred Land and the Righteous Path alive, although there were only four of them. The rest died as well.

Liana and Tiffany were relieved when Rean came back. The Light Element he left behind was on the verge of running out. They felt a scare when he told them he was also leaving for a bit, but they couldnʼt do anything as Rean disappeared. Of course, they had their life-saving treasured as well. Rean and Roan already helped them pass through the worst part of the doorʼs opening without suffering any injuries. If they used those items, they could totally leave this place before those treasures lost their powers. Itʼs just that the two girls didnʼt want to leave after coming this far.

ʼHey, are you two alright?ʼ Rean asked.

Liana nodded as she let out a sigh of relief. ʼWeʼre good. So, how was it? Did you succeed in whatever you and your brother wanted to do?ʼ 

Tiffany couldnʼt help but say, ʼFor a moment, I thought you two left us behind because you wanted to pass through the gate first. Iʼve never thought you would try to attack Granto and the others. Of course, I couldnʼt be happier to see those wicked pieces of trash dying here.ʼ

Rean nodded with a smile, replying, ʼFortunately, everything went well. Granto and the others are dead. However, they werenʼt with their entire group from the Blood Path Sect. Roan said there were three more dangerous ones who didnʼt appear in the end.ʼ

Tiffany confirmed Roanʼs words. ʼYes, I know them. That would be Clincks, Erbasxe, and Rimari. Our Tenke Kingdom kept tabs on most cultivators worth our attention in this opening of the Demising Catacombs. However, theyʼre far from being as dangerous as Granto was.ʼ

Rean smiled in response to that statement. ʼThatʼs good to hear.ʼ

A moment later, Roan came back to where Tiffany and Liana were. It was also possible to see several spatial rings in his hand, which attracted Reanʼs attention. ʼHow is it? Was there anything good there?ʼ

Roan shook his head, saying, ʼTheyʼre just like the Sacred Landʼs Core and Legacy Disciples. Any Rank Three Divine Stones they got, they used straight away. Other than that, there are a few Golden Initial, Middle, and High-level weapons. Well, only Granto had a Golden High-level weapon. The rest was all Middle and Initial-level. They should still be worth some Divine Stones, though.ʼ

Rean took the spatial rings and checked the contents before nodding in agreement. ʼYea, they should be worth around a thousand Rank Two Divine Stones. They arenʼt as good as my Element Gathering Weapons, so it makes sense they arenʼt worth that much. As for Rank Two Divine Stones alone, there are another 1500 or so, I guess thatʼll do.ʼ

Liana and Tiffany bitterly smiled when they heard that. Since when was a thousand Rank Two Divine Stones not much? Thatʼs a lot for people like us, okay?! Not everyone can forge weapons worth 300 Rank Two Divine Stones each, idiot!

The Dark Element and Yin Energy continued to escape from the gate. However, the concentration continued to fall as they spread all around the Demising Catacombs. Surprisingly, though, there were no ghosts on the other side of the gate. That was something the twins expected to see, but nothing appeared in the end.

Rean then looked at the Sacred Land and Righteous Path survivors who Roan spared. ”What about them?”

Roan shrugged his shoulders, saying, ”Leave them. Theyʼre too weak to cause trouble for us. Since we have the same background, we might as well let them live.”

Roan then focused on the gate path. No, to be more specific, he focused on the gate itself. ”Well then. Now that the formation protecting the gate is gone, I donʼt think anyone will complain if I take it for myself.”
