Death… And Me

Chapter 2693  Holes

Even though they found the stairs, it was quite far from them and behind several walls. ”We will need to continue to run around until we find the path to reach those stairs.”

*Bang!*

Yet, it was then that Kentuckyʼs Claws hit the wall in front of them. The room trembled as his Dark and Light ELements burst in all directions. ”I guess it would be too easy...” Kentucky simply tried to break his way through those walls.

Everyone understood it and looked at the point Kentucky attacked. Although you couldnʼt say Kentucky went all out, he still used quite a considerable amount of strength there. Yet, there wasnʼt a single scratch left behind.

Kafan still liked Kentuckyʼs idea, though. ”Let me give it a try.”

No one had a reason to stop him, so they took some distance from Kafan. ”Luan, since you can see through them, tell me the point with the least concentration of elements. That should be the weakest point.” Luan nodded and quickly shared his view of the best place to attack. Following that, Kafan used his own merged energies and attacked the wall.

Something that looked like a huge Gray Blue Spear materialized as it was thrown against the wall.

*Boom!*

Kafan didnʼt change the laws, but other than that, he used his full power. That was an attack of a Semi-Celesitial with a Chaos Cultivation almost on par with the twins. Unfortunately... ”This is truly a fucking sturdy wall...”

It wasnʼt like there was no damage. A few pieces of it did crack and fall to the ground. However, considering Luanʼs view of the wall, it was definitely far, far from enough to break all the way through it. It was at this moment that Rean noticed something strange. ”It doesnʼt make sense...” he touched the walls where Kafan attacked and narrowed his eyes. ”I havenʼt paid attention before, but have you noticed that this tower has no Circuitry Formation Runes whatsoever?”

So far, everything involving the Ruins of the Stars has been highly advanced in the technology of Circuitry Formations and Runes. Yet, this tower, even looking from the outside, didnʼt seem to have a single piece related to those kinds of advanced apparatus. Roan thought about the time they invaded the Ruins of the Stars. ”Indeed. We havenʼt seen a single one of those robots that attacked us back in the Spaceship. There were none of the other defense mechanisms either, like the wall laser turrets, the gravity manipulators, the cultivation sealing locations, etc. The only thing we found were Wonder Beasts, and we avoided them with Luanʼs help.”

Kafan didnʼt understand. ”So what? Is that of any help?”

Rean and Roan nodded at each other and approached the wall. ”The Spaceship from back then had a self-repairing ability all over its shell and even inside it. Thatʼs why we couldnʼt force our way in since it could fix itself and, obviously, was extremely sturdy, too. But, if the walls of this tower are truly just a piece of hard rock, then...”

Immediately, Roanʼs body burst with Dark Element while Rean used his Light Element to increase Roanʼs Dark Elementʼs Power. Their hairs changed into white and dark, showing their exchange was happening once again.

It took a few seconds, but not long after, the wall began to deteriorate. Corrosion, one of the Dark Elementʼs main powers, appeared once again. It was especially powerful when used by Roan, who was the epitome of Yin, and Reanʼs Light Element and Yang support. In just a minute, they opened a hole big enough for them all to pass through into the next corridor.

”As we thought...” Rean and Roan couldnʼt help but feel a little excited. That was a type of advantage even the Devils wouldnʼt have. After all, they couldnʼt possibly use Light Element to increase the power of their Dark Element. This was something only Rean and Roan could achieve... and Perhaps Kentucky? After all, Kentucky could use both elements.

Kafan was a Death Spirit, so he also had a high affinity with the Dark Element. He approached the next wall and tried to copy the twins, but the lack of Light Element to support his own Dark Element made it a very slow process. It wasnʼt completely useless, but not much different than when he used his attack. ”This Soul Gem System truly created something incredible by connecting you two...” he spoke as he admired the twinsʼ work behind.

Rean and Roan didnʼt really like that connection, but it wasnʼt time to complain about it. ”Luan, the stairs are in this direction, right?”

Luan quickly nodded and used his Divine Sense to share what he was seeing. Since they didnʼt need to go around looking for a way to reach the stairs, the twins immediately started to open their way through the walls.

They passed through several empty spaces and other corridors, making sure that there were none of those Wonder Beasts Luan mentioned before. Finally, around ten minutes later, the last hole was created, allowing them to access the stairs.

”Seems like to work pretty fine,” Roan mentioned.

Kentucky then looked up, taking the chance to ask. ”In that case... isnʼt it better to simply open holes in the ceiling? There isnʼt truly a need to find the stairs, right? We can break through everything and charge all the way up to the last floor.”

Luan shook his head, though. ”Father and Uncle Rean would have done that already if it was possible.” He then shared his view of the ceiling with his Divine Sense for Kentucky to see.

”Hum...?” Kentucky obviously noticed a big difference between the walls and the ceiling. ”When you said the furthest you could see was eleven kilometers, did you mean...”

Luan nodded. ”Yes, eleven kilometers is only when Iʼm looking up. The ceiling seems to be protected by some kind of power, most likely related to the Chaos Energy.”

Roan confirmed as he began to make his way up the stairs. ”It is Chaos Energy, and Laws too. My Dark Element has very little effect on it, even with Reanʼs help. Not to mention the ceilings are much, much thicker than the walls. It would take tens of hours to open a hole in a single one of them. Itʼs a waste of time. Anyway, being able to open a passage through the walls is already good enough. Letʼs go.”
