Death… And Me

Chapter 1461 - About To Get Even Worse

Without anyone expecting it, the power of the continental barrier began to ramp up quite quickly. It was as if the chaotic Divine Energy and Elements inside the barrier were becoming more rampant than ever before. On the surface, such a thing was normal. However, the Under Desert Sea was completely different. Although it was there, it was much milder. Thatʼs why everyone could pass through it.

Naturally, the twinsʼ group looked at the big Kibin and asked, ”Whatʼs happening?”

The big Kibin shook his head as he replied, ”Letʼs just say those two friends of yours had a certain something I didnʼt expect them to have. Anyways, you should pass through the barrier quickly as the continental barrier is restoring its power in the Under Desert Sea.”

*Pin!*

Suddenly, the sound of the Soul Gem System echoed in the twinsʼ minds.

[Unnexpected Event: A powerful source of energy is on the move, and itʼs affecting the entire environment thousands of kilometers around it. Warning: The risk on the hostsʼ lives is very high. Hosts should leave the range of the energy source immediately.]

As soon as the system said that, Rean felt a familiar type of energy he hadnʼt ever felt since they left Huring. ʼRoan, I know this energy. Itʼs similar to the continental barrier but not the same.ʼ

Roan looked at him and checked the memories Rean sent, asking, ʼYou mean the Flash Beast?ʼ

Back in the Cosgles Tribe, Rean entered a cave that led to a place where they found the Convergence Crystal. The Convergence Crystal was also known for being an incubator for the Flash Beast. Rean could tell that the energy from the Convergence Crystal and the one he was feeling now was the same.

Rean nodded. ʼYeah. We should leave now since I think it might be a Flash Beast awakening. Of course, Iʼve never seen one, so I canʼt guarantee it.ʼ

Roan didnʼt need to hear it twice. Sister Orb explained to him what a Flash Beast was, so it was obvious that only death awaited them if they spent too long in this place. ”Letʼs go!”

Sharky then led the way as the twinsʼ group pressed through the continental barrier as fast as they could. As for the big Kibin, he simply smiled before he also disappeared. The continental barrier was his territory, and he could travel through it at great speeds. Even the so-called Flash Beast would have a hard time trying to get him.

Well, the Flash Beast would be asking to die if it tried to enter the continental barrier anyway.

ʼIf Iʼm not wrong, it was the Convergence Crystalʼs power in that chasm that weakened the continental barrier in the Under Sea Desert. Only something like that should have the power to do it,ʼ Rean could not help but say. 

Sister Orb agreed with Rean, telling them, [Youʼre correct. However, the Flash Beast canʼt enter the continental barrier exactly because their energies are similar. Thereʼs also the fact that the continental barrier as a whole has much more power. The Flash Beast would disappear if it stayed inside too long. Itʼs only because it stayed close but not inside that the weakening happened without it being affected.]

Roan wasnʼt happy to hear that, though. ʼJust keep moving as fast as you can. If the Flash Beast really was born and is now trying to leave the chasm, then the weakening will disappear. That means the continental barrier will go back to its original shape. In other words, weʼre dead meat if that happens while weʼre inside.ʼ

ʼCanʼt we use the smaller Kibin to get us through?ʼ Rean asked.

Suddenly, the small Kibinʼs voice echoed in the mind of the twinsʼ group. ʼDonʼt expect me to get you through this. Since I have just connected with this kid, I lost quite some of my energy. If itʼs only me, I wonʼt be affected. However, I have no way to protect the rest of you.ʼ

”What?!” Rean was taken aback. ”Then, we wonʼt be able to use you to traverse the continental barriers anymore?”

ʼYou can,ʼ answered the smaller Kibin. ʼHowever, Iʼll need a few days to recover to my peak. Obviously, you donʼt have that much time.ʼ

”Then, what about your father? Couldnʼt he have taken us out?” Falangia asked in response.

Roan shook his head, though. ”The idea is to gain experience, right? If he helped his son with the very first problem he would encounter, what would be the point? Look, can you see his father at all? Heʼs gone already.”

Rean bitterly smiled after that. ”But the only ones at risk are us. The small Kibin said it wouldnʼt matter for him.” It was then that Rean understood. The small Kibin didnʼt even want to come in the first place, so he simply didnʼt care.

Fortunately, Sharky was an aquatic demon beast at the Transition Realm. With Sharkyʼs speed, they traversed the continental barrier quite quickly since they were still underwater. He even dragged Kentucky together, who couldnʼt move as fast as him exactly for the same reason. 

Everyone thousands of kilometers around the Under Sea Desert was looking at the continental barrier as it raged forth. The experts from both continents that kept an eye on it, trying to prevent any large-scale invasion, were dumbfounded by that development. After all, it was the first time they saw it happen.

Then again, the barrier couldnʼt care less. It began to pour more and more chaotic Divine Energy and Elements inside the Under Desert Sea. That power affected everyone inside, and those with weaker defenses already started to find it difficult to resist. 

On the side of the Pol Continent, the aquatic demon beast experts that watched over the barrier gathered in front of it but couldnʼt do anything. ”The weakening is disappearing!”

Obviously, just like the big Kibin, they also knew why the barrier was disrupted there.

”The Flash Beast is coming out!”

”But how? It wasnʼt supposed to come of out the Convergence Crystal for the next ten thousand years at the very least.”

”How would I know? Tell everyone to retreat before the barrier kills them.”

”What about the Treavin Continent?”

The leader in that group shook his head, saying, ”I believe their already miserable lives are just about to get worse.”
