Death… And Me

Chapter 1303 - And A Half!

With Trika and Filauriaʼs cultivation, they were able to teleport to far distances in one go, going far than most city-to-city teleport formations. Above that, they didnʼt need to feed Divine Stones into the formations, nor did they need to wait for them to charge. Those two old women could simply teleport again straight away.

Thanks to that, they were able to do thousands of teleports per hour. Well, that was also the reason why they were able to cover half of the continentʼs distance in just a few hours instead of decades or centuries. Rean and Roan couldnʼt help but feel a little jealous, hoping to be able to do that as well as soon as possible.

Eventually, they arrived at a country called Vupe, located in the Dilatan Region. This was a region close to the center of the continent, but still several regions far away from where the Croste Clan was located. Trika and Filauria then descended from the skies before dropping the twins on the ground. After that, Filauria gave the twins the Soul Binding Contract, the terms already written on them. ”Here you go. All three of you would have to sign this. However, the terms are different than what you think. It only says that you shall never have a romantic relationship anymore, thatʼs all. After all, the last thing I want to happen is for Maeralya to die just because she met you two by coincidence.”

Well, it made little difference for Rean, Roan, and Maeralya. They werenʼt in a relationship anyway. Nevertheless, Rean pretended to be unwilling to sign the contract, as if he was doing it for Maeralyaʼs sake. Roan couldnʼt go that far, though. He simply signed the contract as he wanted to get over with the farce. Soon enough, Maeralya did the same, although she did pretend a bit as well.

The contract then burnt out and entered their foreheads before Rean sighed and looked at Maeralya, saying, ”This is our last time together. We might meet each other again, but we shall never get together. I wish you happiness.”

Roan nodded, wanting to add more substance to Reanʼs words.

Maeralya almost couldnʼt hold her laugh there after hearing that. At some point, the situation went from being ridiculous to just outright funny. Itʼs just that Trika and Filauria thought she was trying to hold her tears instead. ”Maeralya, this is for your own good. Now, letʼs leave this place. We have to meet your father in the clan as heʼs waiting.”

Maeralya took a deep breath and nodded in response. Soon after, the three women disappeared from that place.

As soon as they did that, the twins activated their Divine Sense bending skill to see if they were somewhere far away, observing them. When they confirmed there were no Divine Senses, they didnʼt relax. They didnʼt know if Trika and Filauria would send someone to get rid of them to prevent future problems. Before the system could identify any trouble, the twins immediately entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

Surprisingly, it turned out they were right. A few hours later, a huge Divine Sense that could cover thousands of kilometers covered the entire area. It wasnʼt the only one, though. Several more Divine Senses passed around that place. They were all trying to find anyone that resembled the twinsʼ appearance. Eventually, many men and women appeared where the twins were last seen.

”Did you find anything?”

”No, I scanned all the lives Iʼve seen. Still, nothing.”

”I found many cultivators in the surrounding areas, but none of them fit the description.”

”Keep looking for them. According to Filauria, theyʼre just in the Initial Stage of the Saint Realm. They couldnʼt have gone far in just these last few hours.”

”Understood.”

Sometime later, they all left, unaware that the twins saw everything from the Dimensional Realm. Rean looked at Roan and sighed, saying, ”Well, thatʼs to be expected.”

Roan glanced back at him and replied, ”Thatʼs because you came up with that ʼloverʼ bullshit. Obviously, they want to eliminate the threat of someone finding Maeralyaʼs attempt to start a male harem. Those people we saw just now wouldnʼt even ask why theyʼre in charge of looking for us. They would just kill us straight away.”

Rean laughed in response. ”Hahaha! Well, it worked, didnʼt it? With that, we saved many years of useless travel and battles.”

Kentucky, who was watching everything unfold, couldnʼt help but ask after that, ”Does that mean we canʼt go out for the time being? Iʼm feeling quite bored here already, cultivating nonstop.”

Unfortunately for him, Roan confirmed his fear, saying, ”Thatʼs exactly what will happen. Even though we can change our appearances, those people outside might just kill anyone whoʼs inside this area where we were last seen. We canʼt take the risk. With that said, we will focus on cultivation for the time being. At least, the four of us will be using Rank Three Divine Stones, so weʼll improve very quickly.”

Kentucky was afraid to hear that but could only do as Roan said.

Celis wasnʼt the least bit unhappy, though. ”Stop complaining and return to your nest. We finally got the opportunity to cultivate together at the same time, so letʼs not waste it.”

Rean then looked at Roan after that, asking, ”By the way, how long will we stay here?”

”At least a year. Cultivators of that level probably donʼt care about time anymore, so theyʼll definitely stay around for a while. Itʼs better to be safe than sorry,” Roan answered.

Rean nodded and didnʼt say anything else. They were far ahead of their schedule anyway.

The search for the twins continued, just as Roan mentioned. Of course, because the twins were in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, they couldnʼt find the twinsʼ location at all. It wasnʼt before an entire month had gone by that those Divine Senses began to appear more sporadically. They continued like that for another half a year before the last one disappeared for good.

Of course, the twins didnʼt know when the enemy would give up, so they stayed in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm for an entire year.... and a half!
