Death… And Me

Chapter 1696 Ls He Not Coming With You?

Naturally, the twinsʼ interests were piqued. ”Oh-ho... well then. Weʼre listening.”

Libraia shook her head after hearing that, though. ”Not here. Youʼll have to ask in the Yume Clan to get your answer. However, you definitely wonʼt get anything if youʼre not part of it.”

Rean found it strange, though. ”Why would you want us to join if weʼre going to leave once we get the information?”

Libraia smiled after hearing that, telling them, ”You will understand if you decide to join us. Besides, isnʼt that female demon beast called Erla also joining us? Since youʼre friends, it wouldnʼt be a bad idea for you.”

Roan immediately asked, ”Are there any commitments to be made? If you need us to be stuck there for some reason, we might as well try to get what we need somewhere else.”

Libraia shook her head, replying, ”What commitments could be there? Do you think I didnʼt notice? Rean signed a Soul Binding Contract but was not affected by it at all. Since thatʼs the case, how can we force you to do anything?”

Rean was taken aback to hear that. ”You were watching?! No, wait! You donʼt seem that impressed that we could do that while weʼre still in the Transition Realm.”

Libraia shrugged her shoulders in response. ”Well, getting rid of the seal without being in the Void Tempering Realm might be unthinkable in other continents. However, in Jhiod Sect, such methods do exist. Itʼs just that theyʼre usually quite expensive. Anyway, you arenʼt the only ones with this capability. Besides, youʼre already close to the Void Tempering Realm, and only an idiot would doubt you can get there. Even if a Soul Binding Contract worked on you, it would only be temporary.”

Rean and Roan nodded after hearing that. ”So thatʼs how it is...”

Libraia then continued, ”Anyway, Iʼm asking you to join our Yume Clan in the sect because I do think both you and us have a lot to gain from this. Remember, with my strength, I could simply capture you if I wanted. Once youʼre in Jhiod Sect, I could ask anyone from my clan to take you two. No one would complain about two new disciples disappearing if my Yume Clan was the culprit. However, Iʼm not doing anything like that. Even if you refuse, I wonʼt force you either. It has to come from you.”

Roan pondered over it for a bit and nodded. ”Very well. As we mentioned, we wonʼt be staying for long unless necessary. If you truly donʼt care about it, then we might as well enter your clan. Iʼm quite curious about why you donʼt mind the fact weʼll leave later.”

Libraia was obviously happy to hear that. ”Great! Also, itʼs not like we wonʼt see each other anymore. My duty to the Recruitment Building is due to be over in two months, so Iʼll be returning to the sect after that. Weʼll see each other again, so you can count on me later.” Soon after, she brought out her sword.

Seeing that, Rean smiled and asked, ”You still want to spend your last day trying to figure out sword intent?”

However, it was at that moment that Libraiaʼs sword began to switch between its original form and its ethereal form. Of course, that made the twins quite impressed. Though not only were they impressed, all the elders that the twins fought until now were also just as shocked. They still couldnʼt figure out how the weapon intents worked. But now, Libraia showed it right in front of them. How come even they didnʼt know?

”Libraia, this...” Govin couldnʼt help but open his mouth.

Libraia laughed out loud after that. ”Hahaha! What? Surprised? Did you forget who I am? When it comes to the geniuses of the entire Jhiod Sect from my generation, Iʼm definitely ranked at the very top. Only that Iobe guy and Singa girl were my matches during my time. Now that Iʼve had the chance to see sword intent so many times for an entire year, it goes without saying that I had a huge chance of understanding it.”

Rean was still impressed, though. ”It seems like all the Divine Stones you paid were worth it in the end.” Libraia wasnʼt as fast as Ophilia, who learned it in just a few days. Nonetheless, she was the second person the twins had seen to learn an Intent. After an entire year in the Recruitment Building, no one other than Ophilia had understood a weapon intent in the System Sect.

Libraia was obviously delighted to hear that. ”Thatʼs how much you two are worth. We know what weapon intents are, but we only had one chance to see them when a visitor from the center of the continent came to us. Believe it or not, weapon intents are also extremely rare in the center of the continent... or so I heard, at least. In a certain way, you two are more important than Erla herself.”

Roanʼs opinion of Libraia improved a bit after that. ”Still, you arenʼt intending to capture us or anything. Well, now that you have awakened your Sword Intent Seed, we arenʼt as important as we were a year ago. In any case, I can tell you arenʼt lying about making a sincere offer. Very well, Iʼm looking forward to seeing the Jhiod Sect.”

Libraia and the twins then spoke for a while. They did the same thing with Govin, Iglet, and the other elders there. When they were finally done, they were sent to another hall, separated from the participants of the recruitment tests.

Erla, Min, Habac, and everyone else who would be joining the Jhiod Sect were there as well. Not only Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celisʼs groups. There were also a few other participants that completed the twelve tests in a row after the Thunderstorm Breakthrough test.

Eventually, the day arrived for the departure. The one who would bring everyone just so happened to be Govin. He was also part of the Yume Clan, so Libraia had him take care of the twins and Erla on the way. ”Itʼs time. Iʼll grab all of you with my Divine Energy, so donʼt resist it.” However, he noticed something as he looked at the twins, asking, ”Where is that boy with three pupils? Is he not coming with you?”

”Thatʼs a secret,” Rean replied with a smile.
