Death… And Me

Chapter 2213 Releasing Kentucky

Since the time inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm was much faster, it wasnʼt like Rean would lose too much time outside. During the next few days, he worked on a sword for Luan. At the same time, he had Luan help with the forging process and use his own Spatial Power to create the Spatial Draw Ability of the sword. That way, it would be a lot more efficient. Rean always did that with his and Roanʼs weapons, so Luan wouldnʼt be different.

Finally, around a week later, the work ended. It took longer than the White and Black Stars since he wasnʼt using the previous equipment and upgrading it. Instead, he was forging something completely new. The result was a sword that couldnʼt look any more plain, something that any mortal would carry on his waist just to defend themselves.

Nonetheless, Luan was the wiser. He could tell just how much power that sword could display just by holding it in his hand. If anything, its plain appearance was even more of an advantage than a drawback. Luan then poured his Divine origin Energy inside, causing the sword to immediately attract the Spatial Laws around it.

The result was better than the Black and White Stars. Even though it was one level weaker than the twinsʼ weapons, all its runesʼ space was used exclusively for Spatial Power. Not to mention it was forged with Luanʼs own Spatial Affinity in the mix. ”Incredible! If I use my own Elemental Affinity to control even more Spatial Power, it will truly feel like I can cut space with just a thought.”

Rean smiled in response. ”Itʼs good that you know it. So, what will you call it? From here onwards, you wonʼt get a new weapon. Instead, I will upgrade this sword in your hand.”

Luan was obviously happy to hear that. ”A name, a name... Oh! Iʼll call it Dimensional Slicer!”

Rean was quite surprised to hear that. ”I would understand such a cool name coming from Kentucky or me since we like to catch othersʼ attention and show off. But you being Roanʼs kid and being so similar to him, I didnʼt expect something like this. If anything, I thought you wouldnʼt give a name at all, saying something like it is a waste of time.”

Luan scratched the back of his head. ”Itʼs not as if I donʼt like cool things too...”

”Hahahaha!” Rean laughed after hearing that. ”Alright, alright. Dimensional Slicer it is. Honestly, you should be able to cut through space much more easily than Roan and I, so it matches the swordʼs abilities. As long as you donʼt put it against a Legendary Level Sword, I doubt you can break it.”

Above Divine Level stood the Legendary Level. Rean only saw one formation at this level in the past, let alone see a weapon. Still, he believed they were out there, and he would be able to forge such a thing in the future.

With the work done, Luan quickly left, having been called by Roan to give it a try with his new weapon. In the past few hundred years that had gone by while Rean traveled outside, Roan taught Luan about the Fourth Level of the Weapon Intent. Through pure diligence over several years, Luan was also able to bring his Sword Intent to the fourth level, Sword Aura.

Rean just smiled as Luan left before he stretched himself. His Dantian was already full of Divine Origin Energy, so he decided to go to the city. As for breaking through into the Peak Stage of the Elemental Space Realm, that would have to wait.

But before that, Rean went to see Kentucky, who was cultivating in his nest over Celisʼs branches. He only needed one glance to notice just how annoyed Kentucky looked while he absorbed the Divine Origin Coresʼ Energy. ”Let me guess, Roan didnʼt let you take a single step out in the past decades.”

Kentucky immediately noticed Reanʼs voice and felt like he was seeing his savior. ”Rean! Please, help me! Iʼm going crazy here! Iʼm a Minokawa! Minokawas are lazy by nature! Iʼm gonna die!”

Rean gave a thumbs-up to Kentucky. ”Donʼt worry, I got you!”

”Eh? Really?!” Kentucky wasnʼt truly expecting Rean to help him.

Rean nodded. ”But of course! We are going to visit a Demon Beast City, la Mataia, so I need a Demon Beast with me to prevent unnecessary trouble. Just use your bloodline to open the way for me, will you?”

Kentucky narrowed his eyes. ”I feel like Iʼm being used...”

Rean then turned around, not minding at all. ”Well, so be it then.”

”Ahem! Why so fast? Have you never heard about Kentucky, the great 1001 Utilities Minokawa? If you are in need of a Divine Demon Bird to scare other Demon Beasts, Iʼm your guy!” So what if he was being used, it was still better than continue cultivating here...

”What are the other 1000 utilities?” Rean asked with some curiosity.

”Iʼll think about them later,” Kentucky answered shamelessly.

Roan obviously saw and heard everything, but Rean had already told him that he was going to the city with Kentucky to make things easier. He also wanted to get to the Center of the Realm of Gods as fast as possible, so he obviously didnʼt stop them.

*Zush, zush!*

Suddenly, a man and a demon bird appeared in the middle of the air. The bird stretched its wings as if it was out of prison. ”Finally, real air!”

Rean ignored Kentucky, though. ”Hum... judging that batʼs speed, ten years of travel should be more or less this amount...” Right after, Rean opened another Spatial Gate. ”Letʼs go, Kentucky.”

Kentucky didnʼt waste time and dove into the Spatial Gate, quickly following Rean. When they exited it, they were already above the mountain range with the several valleys the Bat mentioned. Rean then jumped on Kentuckyʼs back. ”Alright, Kentucky. Letʼs fly around until we find a Demon Beast we can talk to.”

”On it!” Kentucky nodded. Both man and bird began to look for the city called La Mataia.
