Death… And Me

Chapter 2323 That was Close

*Ouch!*

Several of Kentuckyʼs Blade Feathers, as well as his Dragon Scales, were instantly broken. His blood then came out of the hole caused by the colored lightning as Sparks of colored Lightning still remained on the injury.

ʼLife Style, Instant Recovery!ʼ

Light Element quickly gathered around Kentuckyʼs injury. However, to his surprise, he wasnʼt able to heal himself at all. No, it wasnʼt that he couldnʼt help, but that the colored lightning power around his injury made it hundreds of times slower than normal.

*Brum!*

Another bolt of Colored Lightning came right after, this one even bigger than the previous. Kentucky, who was still trying to stabilize himself from the first strike, simply had no time to pose any defense.

ʼDeath Style, Death Scythe!ʼ

ʼLife Fire, Flame Emperor Sword!ʼ

Yet, Rean and Roan definitely wouldnʼt wait for Kentucky to be heavily injured. Rean, as the one who created the Instant Recovery Skill, could tell better than anyone else just how formidable the chaotic energy in that lightning was to affect his Instant Recovery Skill to that extent.

Rean and Roanʼs weapons collided with the Colored Lightning. They didnʼt hold back on the counterattack, using their Sky Energy, Weapon Intents, and all the power of their bodies. If something could breach Kentuckyʼs defenses that easily, then it had to be really powerful.

*Boom!*

The twins were forced back several tens of meters as the power of the lightning dispersed. Sure enough, even their combined effort was only enough to match the power of the lightning, not to surpass it. ”Retreat!”

Roan didnʼt think twice and immediately shot back up from where they came. Rean, Roan, and Kentucky followed suit. Fortunately, Kentuckyʼs injury didnʼt impair his ability to flight, so he didnʼt fall behind. Luan was holding onto Kentuckyʼs back, so his lower cultivation didnʼt matter at the moment.

However...*

*Kabrum! Kabrum!*

Another two bolts of Colored Lightning came after them. It wouldnʼt be a problem at first since they were expecting the attacks to continue. However, what they didnʼt expect was that the next two bolts of lightning came from above, the same path they took to arrive here!

”Fuck!” Their group quickly realized that the direction they chose didnʼt matter anymore. These bolts of lightning seemed to be able to come from both directions.

Suddenly, Cellis appeared outside. ”You two, stop the lightning from above. Iʼll take care of the lightning Below with Kentucky!” He then joined forces with Kentucky and attacked the lightning below.

Rean and Roan nodded and once again counterattacked the lightning coming from above.

ʼDeath Scythe!ʼ

ʼFlame Emperor Sword!ʼ

ʼVine Assault!ʼ

ʼFeather Blde Storm!ʼ

The waves of Light and Dark Elements soared up while a mix of thick vines and countless Blade-like Feathers rushed below.

*Boom, boom!*

Both sides were forced back against each other.

Suddenly, two beasts appeared in their range of vision. Their bodies were made of pure energy, with sparks of colored lightning running all over their bodies.

Sister Orb immediately warned the twins. [Holy shit! Two Flash Beasts!]

”What?!” Reanʼs group was taken aback. One must remember that in the past, Rean only saw the Convergence Crystal, not the Flash Beast inside it. Naturally, they didnʼt know what it looked like. Well, now they know.

*Roar!*

Both Flash Beast immediately threw themselves against Rean and Roanʼs group. Tens of thick Bolts of Colored Lightning came from everywhere in their bodies, crashing down against their group.

One bolt was troublesome, while two were already the limit of what their group could deal with at the same time. However, tens of them? That instantly made their group pale.

”Donʼt give up!”

Of course, that didnʼt mean they would just wait to die there.

ʼDeath World Domain!ʼ

ʼLife World Domain!ʼ

ʼKawa Blade Domain!ʼ

ʼEnergy Draining Domain!ʼ

ʼSpatial Distortion Domain!ʼ

Everyone immediately activated their domains, including Luan. Luan might not have the power to face those bolts of lightning, but his Spatial Distortion Domain could at least reduce their power a bit.

With all those domains working together, the bolts of lightning that entered their range instantly lost a lot of their power. Roanʼs Dark Element corroded most of the elements inside. Kentuckyʼs Domain Blade Feathers appeared in front of them, forcing those bolts of lightning to destroy them before continuing forward. Cellis Domain drained as much of the Divine Energy present inside them, further reducing their power.

As for Reanʼs domain, it could be said to be the least useful in this situation. His domain acted mostly against enemy domains, and those beasts were not using any domain whatsoever. Nonetheless, as Rean, Roan, and Kentucky were Light Element users, it could at least increase the Light Element power inside that range.

ʼDeath Style, Three Claws of the Dragon!ʼ

ʼKawa Divine Thrust!ʼ

ʼLeaves Slaughter!ʼ

ʼLife Fire, White Stellar Explosion!ʼ

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*

The twinsʼ groupʼs attack and lightning bolts crashed against each other. The explosions of energy created a field of destruction that caused the lightning bolts behind to add fuel to the events. For a moment, an enormous area above and below the twinsʼ group became forbidden lands. Chaotic elements and spatial storms due to broken space made it impossible for anyone to get close, including the Lightning Beasts themselves.

Of course, it quickly disappeared as the energy of the attacks was spent.

*Roar!*

Both Flash Beasts immediately rushed over as even more bolts of Colored Lightning came crashing against the area where the twinsʼ group mounted their defense. Even the five domains could not stop the Flash Beasts. Yet, as soon as the Flash Beasts arrived, all domains disappeared. As for the twinsʼ group... they were nowhere to be seen.

Both Flash beasts roared and kept releasing even more bolts of Colored Lightning, seeming furious to have lost their targets. Nonetheless, the only thing they accomplished was to destroy the walls of dirt and rocks on the sides. They continued like that for several minutes.

Yet, out of nowhere, their roars stopped, and both looked further down the abyss. As if some kind of order was sent, they quickly stopped their rampage and shot down, disappearing from sight in an instant.

Inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, Sister Orb felt relieved to see the outcome. [Sure enough, Flash Beasts have too little intelligence. Even with the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm entrance right there, they couldnʼt figure out that you all escaped inside.]

The twins were above the Circuitry Teleport Formation, ready to teleport away if the Flash Beast started attacking the Dimensional Realm. Fortunately, that was not necessary. ”That was close...”
