Death… And Me

Chapter 1452 - Having Fun

ʼLife Style, First Form, Enhancement!ʼ

ʼDeath Style, First Movement Form, Shadow Steps!ʼ

Rean quickly swam in Brigetʼs direction. Normally, Shadow Steps wouldnʼt work since, obviously, Rean was swimming. However, he concentrated his Divine Soul Power on his feet, creating something like flippers that helped him obtain extra propulsion with Shadow Steps as the base. It was a far cry from using Shadow Steps on the surface, but it was definitely much better than just normal swimming.

Briget, who was now using her Divine Sense in this battle, was taken aback when she saw Rean. Thatʼs because Rean was charging straight at her. ʼWhat is he doing?! He will get hit by my Lightning Field!ʼ

However, Rean simply created a Divine Soul Power barrier around him as Light and Dark Element spread through it. The Dark Element destroyed the lightning while the Light Element fed it. Both were sustained by the Divine Soul Power. Rean was in the same cultivation realm as Briget. However, Briget was in the Initial Stage while he was at the Peak Stage. At the same time, Rean was obviously several times stronger than any common cultivator at his level. Brigetʼs Lightning Field simply couldnʼt break his protection at all.

”Ah!” Briget was shocked at how useless her Lightning Field was against Rean and was afraid that he was taking this opportunity to attack her. Carion also saw that with his Divine Sense and immediately tried to go after Briget to help her. Unfortunately, neither of them was fast enough to prevent Rean. Briget closed her eyes, waiting for the worst to happen when suddenly...

*Touch!*

Rean touched her shoulder.

ʼLife Style, First Form, Enhancement!ʼ

Briget felt her body fill with power. Not only her, but Rean also touched the Lightning Eagle below her feet, giving him the same treatment. ʼAlright, it should help you two fight much better, especially the eagle since itʼs using its wings for swimming.ʼ

Briget had little time to process what just happened as Rean turned in Carionʼs direction. ʼOh, you came as well. Great! Come here!ʼ

Carion didnʼt know what happened, just that his sister had a shocked expression. Naturally, his first thought was that Rean did something bad to her and was now trying to do the same to him. ʼDonʼt underestimate me!ʼ

His Earth Spikes and both his spears moved in Reanʼs direction, trying to stop him. However, in the end, Rean and Carion were too far from each other in their combat abilities. If Rean was being affected by the water, then Carion was even more so.

ʼDeath Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!ʼ

Well, in fact, Rean didnʼt attack Carion with three swords. Instead, he only created two, which hit both of Carionʼs spears. The spears were then quickly deflected, leaving Carion exposed completely. Carion knew that Rean was one stage above in cultivation than him. He was at the Late Stage, after all. However, he never expected that Rean could be that much stronger than him, especially since Earth Affinity cultivators like him normally had higher raw strength in direct clashes. ʼNot good! I wonʼt be able to use my life-saving treasure!ʼ

He prepared for the impact, concentrating as much Earth Element and Divine Energy around his body as possible. However, the thrust he was expecting never came. Instead, he felt a light touch on his shoulder as Rean did the same thing with him as he did with Briget.

ʼLife Style, First Form, Enhancement!ʼ

Immediately, Carion felt like his body filled with strength, a strength that he had never felt before. ʼThis...ʼ

Rean shook his head in disappointment as he said, ʼWhat are you even doing? Werenʼt we supposed to be allies? Iʼm just helping you, and you decide to attack me?ʼ Of course, Rean was just messing with him. He knew very well why Carion did that, and he was just having his own fun there.

Carion then looked at his sister, who was as shocked as himself. He had a skill that could increase his own alliesʼ raw strength to such a degree... just how good was that?

That wasnʼt all. Carion and Briget werenʼt your average cultivator. They also could jump one or two stages to fight those above. However, both of them were completely powerless against Reanʼs approach. Not to mention that Roan and Kentucky didnʼt do anything. ʼWe knew they had higher strength than common cultivators since they also passed the test. However, isnʼt this way too ridiculous?!ʼ

However, Carion quickly recovered before apologizing, ʼSo-sorry... Itʼs just that you approached us so quickly and didnʼt say anything. How could we not think you were trying to take advantage of the situation to kill us?ʼ

Rean laughed in response. ʼHahaha! Then, please tell me. Would you just let me touch you in this situation if I told you that I could increase your power?ʼ

Carion and Briget bitterly smiled in response. Of course not! Rean was literally the first cultivator they ever saw that could increase an allyʼs strength. At least the first one to increase it by this much. 

Rean didnʼt wait for Carion or Briget to answer before looking away. ʼWell, forget it. I would pay attention to the battlefield if I were you.ʼ

ʼAh!ʼ Carion and Briget immediately returned their attention to the sharks, who were once again right on their faces. 

ʼLife Style, Flash!ʼ

Suddenly, a sphere of Light Element burst, brightening everything around them. This Under Sea Desert was illuminated by the blue algae. However, it couldnʼt hold a candle to the light of day. The demon beasts here were all used to the darker environment. When the Light Sphere burst, they were all blinded for a few seconds, which was enough for Briget and Carion to get back on their feet.

Well, Reanʼs enhancement was a lot more useful for Carion, though. After all, it was something that increased the bodyʼs raw power strength. For Briget, it had little use. Just like Rean said, it was a lot more helpful for the eagle she was standing on. Still, they quickly noticed a problem. ʼRean, we canʼt delay much more. We need to go after the Blade Tail Shark King.ʼ

Rean shook his head as he cut down all the sharks coming in his direction with ease. ʼNo need.. It wonʼt last long.ʼ
