Death… And Me

Chapter 2415 Correct?

”It seems like you still canʼt stand this place, even though we had such happy memories of your training...” A voice came from behind, making Roan and the others turn around. There, another Death Spirit, this time quite bigger than the ones they saw in the past, was floating.

”Master...” Roan couldnʼt help but feel a little sentimental. However, that only lasted a second before his expression turned frigid. ”Kafan, I believe you have a lot to explain, donʼt you? I found out through Huban. You are an expert at the same level as his... or so he told me. I always thought you were just an instructor. Also, how did you know I ended up on the other side?”

”Hahaha!” Kafan laughed in response. ”Who said Iʼm not an instructor? Look behind me.”

Everyone paid attention behind Kafan, and they could see a group of twenty or so Death Spirits floating there. Itʼs just that they could tell the ʼDeath Energyʼ coming from their bodies was several times lower than any of the Death Spirits they had seen so far. Those were newborn Death Spirits that came to this place to start the initial stages of their training.

Kafan continued. ”You see? Iʼm still instructing new Death Spirits, as always. So, without a doubt, I am an instructor. I have always been, and I will always be. This is one of the few things that brings me some comfort in this life of mine... Well, perhaps saying Iʼm alive isnʼt very correct since Iʼm also a Death Spirit, but you understood.”

Kafan then looked at the Death Spirits behind him. ”You can all go and play around. Iʼll call you back when Iʼm finished here.”

”Instructor Kafan, who are they?” One of the young Death Sprits couldnʼt help but ask instead of leaving. After all, from what he learned so far, living beings like Roanʼs group shouldnʼt be in this place.

”They are some friends of mine,” Kafan answered. ”Believe it or not, the fool mood guy in the middle is also a Death Spirit... or at least he was. Why donʼt you go check for Death Spirit Q2MK09257LB? He was quite famous a few years ago.”

”Okay!” All the young Death Spirits quickly accepted the idea and left in a hurry. Their minds were just like kids, indeed.

Kafan noticed something after that. ”Hum? Thatʼs weird. I thought your partner in the reincarnation event was with you. Where is he?”

”So you really knew about what happened in the past, uh?” Roan answered with another question. ”He left as he wanted to visit his planet. He has the same Elemental Space Peak Stage cultivation as me, so he can go there with his own Spatial Gates.”

”Is that so?” Kafan didnʼt seem to mind. Whether he believed Roanʼs words or not, no one knows. ”Okay, come with me. I have also received a few visitors from the other side, but I would like to speak with you privately first.”

Kafan then looked at Kentucky and especially at Essefy. ”Hum...? Your Life Energy... Are you a member of the Essence Race?”

Essefy wasnʼt surprised Kafan could see through him. Their levels were just too different. Besides, Kafan knew his Master, Huban. He probably noticed the similarities. ”Yes, Huban is my Master.”

”I see...” Kafan nodded, thinking about a conversation he had with Huban several hundreds of years ago. ”Oh! You are little Jigan! I see, I see! Huban told me how his Essence Race finally got a member that could assume a humanoid form. He seemed quite proud of you when we talked.”

Essefy was taken aback for a moment. He didnʼt expect Huban to talk about him. 

Kafan continued. ”Alright, you and that Minokawa on your side can go and see the other visitors. I have a few things to talk to Tera. Naffala, Gligeo, Yulit, bring these two where the others are waiting.” Sure enough, he was also able to see through Kentuckyʼs transformation.

”Yes, sir!” They quickly took the lead, approaching Kentucky and Essefy.

Roan glanced at them and nodded before using a Divine Sense Message. ʼItʼs fine. At the very least, it doesnʼt seem like they want to harm us... at least not for now. Just go. Besides, Kafan seems to recognize Essefy, so I donʼt think he will buy a fight against Huban.ʼ

Kentucky and Essefy nodded and followed the Death Spirits. That left Roan and Kafan alone.

Kafan began to move away, and Roan followed. Roan already knew where Kafan was bringing him. After a few minutes, Roan was brought inside a small hut, which was quite a weird thing since Death Spirits usually didnʼt have an interest in construction. Thatʼs why he could remember it clearly since his Master was one of the few who built such things for themselves.

However, the next part surprised him, though. Kafanʼs Dark and Gray Energy body began to transform. Legs, arms, head, etc... it all took shape before the form of a very old man appeared in front of Roan. Right after, Death Energy gathered around the old manʼs body, soon turning into a gray robe that covered the old manʼs body. ”How is it? Do you like it?”

Roan quickly recovered. ”I didnʼt expect you to be able to take the humanoid form. In fact, I didnʼt even know Death Spirits could do it. Your humanoid form is totally different from the forms we take when we are influenced by other racesʼ thoughts. It is a real body.”

”Exactly,” Kafan nodded and sat by the table in the corner of the hut. Then, a pot of hot water appeared, followed by a few leaves of strange shape. ”Letʼs have some tea. Sit with your Master a little.”

Roan still had his cold expression, but he sat there nonetheless. He even accepted a cup of tea that his Master gave him and began to drink it. ”Kafan, can you tell me one thing first?”

Kafan could guess. ”You want to know if I was the reason you ended up reincarnating on the other side, correct?”

Roan nodded. ”Yes.”
