Death… And Me

Chapter 1287 - Better Not Be A Lie

Tixa felt a mix of embarrassment and rage after hearing him talk. Roan didnʼt just humiliate her, but he did that in front of everyone. Roanʼs group, as well as the rest of the division, couldnʼt help but let out cold sweat. Tixa was the captain, after all. Not to mention that she was in the Transition Realm, while Roan was just a weakling at the Initial Stage of the Saint Realm. Where did he get all that courage from?

”Did you know I could kill you right now for insubordination? This is the world of cultivation. No one would complain if I got rid of an ant at the Initial Stage of the Saint Realm.”

Roan shrugged his shoulders in response, saying, ”If thatʼs what will make you happy, I wonʼt say anything. But is that really how the army rewards those who greatly contribute to the war? Itʼs quite the sight.”

Tixa gritted her teeth and almost exploded. However, she took a deep breath in the end and shook her head, saying, ”You were lucky that I do follow the rules. Indeed, you saved our division from a devastating defeat and transformed it into a huge victory. Iʼll definitely report it back. Now then, hereʼs the question, where did you learn to command people like that?”

Roan shook his head, telling her, ”Thatʼs a secret.” He then got up once more and used his Divine Soul Power to remove the blood from his body and scythe. ”By the way, I got a lot of kills this time. Where can I get my War Points?”

Tixa narrowed her eyes in response but didnʼt insist. The army didnʼt care about who would join it as long as they didnʼt cause trouble. Naturally, they couldnʼt force everyone to tell their secrets. Otherwise, many of them wouldnʼt even join in the first place. ”Fine! In the end, I was right about one thing. Putting you in charge of the third group worked out very well.”

Roan shook his head, saying, ”I would have made more points if I was alone. But I will admit that saving you would have been a lot more difficult without these guys in the mix.”

Suddenly, a voice came from behind. ”Tixa, the right wing commander is asking for you. He wants to congratulate your division for its great contribution to todayʼs war. Please come with me.”

Tixa nodded before she looked at Roan. Obviously, Roan noticed that, so he simply said, ”Unless the guy wants to give me War Points, I have absolutely no interest in meeting him.”

Tixa nodded and then left without saying anything. Roan made it very obvious that he didnʼt care about anything else other than War Points. In fact, many of the participants in this war were the same as him. Itʼs just that he took it to the extreme.

Tixa then reported to the right wing commander about everything that happened. She didnʼt lie about anything, as her division had thousands of people. They could easily verify the truth later, and if they found out she wasnʼt sincere with her words, it would only cause trouble for her.

”Oh! So you have such a capable subordinate, huh? Our Clankei Cityʼs army has quite a few Dark Element ambush divisions like yours. However, I donʼt think any of them has such a capable commander. Or maybe heʼs just lucky, who knows? Why donʼt you try him out?”

”Try him out?” Tixa immediately shook her head, saying, ”He only cares about War Points, nothing else.”

”Then give him War Points to command. If he does a good service, itʼll be worth it.”

However, Tixa found it to be a bad idea. ”We donʼt know him nor where he came from. I wonʼt risk such a thing.”

The commander couldnʼt help but ask in response, ”Arenʼt you at the Transition Realm? If you see heʼs purposely causing trouble, you have the right to kill him. Itʼs that simple. At the very least, you will see if what he did in the previous battle was just pure coincidence or not.”

Tixa had to admit it made sense. For her, the success of her own division was what mattered the most. Thatʼs because she was truly a part of the army, unlike those who joined for the rewards. ”Alright, Iʼll give it a try.”

Roan didnʼt know anything about that, of course. Instead, he took the opportunity to go back to Clankei City since his division would only go out when they had some special mission like the last one. They never joined the main armies and moved on their own. Until a new order arrived, they were pretty much free.

Roan didnʼt waste time and went straight to the War Points exchange center. There were several of those around Clankei City, so it was quite easy to find the first one. As always, he had to join a queue before he was finally able to be attended.

”Give me your badge,” the worker asked him. That was the thing that had the inscriptions used to calculate the cultivation and kills. It could tell how many people Roan killed and their cultivations by using its hostsʼ Divine Sense, so it was very precise.

However, it was then that the workerʼs eyes changed. ”Holy shit!” He then looked at Roan and used his Divine Sense to feel his cultivation. Sure enough, he confirmed that Roan really was just at the Initial Stage of the Saint Realm. ”Wait a moment, please.”

The worker quickly left before returning a minute later with someone else. ”This is the guy, Senior Klin.” Klin was the one in charge of that exchange center.

Klin looked at Roan and then at Roanʼs badge before he narrowed his eyes, asking, ”How did you do it?”

”Do what?” Roan asked in response.

”Change the information in the badge,” Klin answered. ”Thereʼs no way someone like you killed this many high-level Saint Realm and Elemental Transformation Realm cultivators.”

Roan shook his head, telling the man, ”You can check it with my commander if you doubt it.”

”We will definitely do that,” Klin said in response.. ”For your own good, it better not be a lie.”
