Death… And Me

Chapter 2758: Even Uglier

The System Sect members varied in cultivation realms. From Nascent Soul Realm youngsters who were born in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to Transition Realm old members. There were even a couple of Demon Beasts in the Transition Realm who acquired their intelligence and joined the System Sect later.

Naturally, Roanʼs declaration enraged the Leviathans.

”Rirao, go and teach those in the same realm as you a lesson!” One of the Leviathans said.

”Clanlis, you are already at Stage Eight. Get rid of all those in the Elemental Transformation Realm in the arena!” Another Leviathan exclaimed to his grandson.

Another Leviathan used his tail and shot another smaller Leviathan into the Arena. ”Sisstas, you better beat at least three Soul Transformation Realm cultivators from his group, or donʼt bother coming back home!”

Floquei narrowed his eyes, seeing the many younger and older Leviathans entering the arena. Still, they were all within the same realm as the cultivators Roan brought out from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Just now, he saw how Sonzei completely dominated Jokios. If these other members of Roanʼs Dimensional Realm were as strong as Sonzei mentioned, then they were in for a huge defeat and an even worse one than before.

Yet, Floquei was still skeptical. Was Sonzei truly weak? What if Roan was just bluffing? What if these cultivators he brought out were, in fact, many times weaker than Sonzei? After all, Sonzei had their sacred bloodline running in his veins. He couldnʼt truly be weaker than those in the same realm in Roanʼs group, right?

The younger Leviathans, varying from Stage Five to Transition Realm, entered the arena as ordered by the older ones. Yet, they didnʼt attack straight away. Floquei was still there, and he hadnʼt given permission. Nonetheless, they were all eager to fight, to show off what the Leviathans could really do.

Floquei felt the fervent emotions from those watching outside and the young Leviathans inside, knowing that stopping it would be worse. ʼIf things are truly as bad as Roan

mentioned, then let it be the wake-up our race needs.ʼ

”One hundred Leviathans against one hundred cultivators. Leviathans are only allowed to fight those in the same realm as them!” Flqoeui began to speak with a loud voice, aided by his Divine Energy to reach far and wide. ”There is no point in having higher realm Leviathans defeating lower realm cultivators, after all.”

He then looked at the judge. ”You watch over them. One fight each time. Understood?”

The judge nodded, excited. He was also irritated by Roanʼs declaration, so how could he not wish for this? He was sure that Sonzei was just an anomaly. There was no way all of those cultivators were even stronger. ”Yes, leader. Leave it to me!”

Floquei then retreated from the arena, and so did Roan, Jokios, Jokiosʼs father, and Rean. Only the Soul Gem System Sect and the leviathans remained.

Olvris, having watched the previous battle, felt nervous as he talked to Floquei through Divine Sense. ʼFloquei, I told you about my fight against the twinsʼs group. Iʼm an entire realm above them, but they still managed to fight me to a standstill. After seeing this last battle... I donʼt think Roan is bluffing anymore.ʼ

Floquei nodded, knowing that. ʼYes, Iʼm aware. In fact, look at the high elders.ʼ

Olvris looked around and saw that the high elders, which were the Leviathans who had reached the Divinity Realm, didnʼt seem irritated. They were a stark contrast to the rest of the Leviathans around the arena. They... looked worried. Just that. ʼI see...ʼ

Floquei nodded. ʼYes. Even though they didnʼt fight the twins like you did, they are just as experienced as you. They can feel it, too. That human called Roan... most likely is not bluffing. At the very least, he absolutely believes in what he just said about his groupʼs abilities.ʼ

ʼThen, shouldnʼt we stop it?ʼ Olvris asked back, nervous. ʼIf we let this continue, it will be a huge blow to our Leviathan Raceʼs pride.ʼ

ʼThatʼs what I want,ʼ Floquei continued. ʼIf all these years locked in this Dimensional Realm truly turned us this weak, then let this be the sight of our shortcomings. I trust it will serve us well in the future.ʼ

Olvris sighed and understood. ʼAs you wish, leader.ʼ

Back in the arena, the judge quickly picked two opponents at the same realm equivalent, swiftly asking. ”No intervention by others is allowed. Same rules as before. Are you two ready?”

”Yes!” Both nodded at the same time.

”Start!” The judge finally gave the order for the first battle.

What happened after this... was not a battle between Leviathans and Cultivators. Instead, it was a complete annihilation! The Leviathans fell like flies, and thatʼs when they were within an environment that favored them, deep underwater.

At first, the losses of the Leviathans only served to enrage the outside Leviathans even more. Nonetheless, they continued to order their young ones to push forward.

It didnʼt last long, though. By the twentieth fight, these voices began to die down. Each Leviathan that entered the arena so far wasnʼt able to last a single minute, most losing in just one or two moves.

By the time fifty fights were over, the leviathans began to feel scared. What kind of monster group was that? It canʼt be possible that all one hundred cultivators were that strong, right?

Seventy fights... and the idea that they werenʼt all strong disappeared. By now, the leviathans, both inside and outside, wanted nothing more than to stop this humiliation. Regardless of how much they hated it, they couldnʼt deny that the cultivators were truly many times stronger while in the same realm.

”Thatʼs enough,” Floquei entered the arena, stopping the next fight before it even began.

Rean and Roan followed suit, standing on their System Sect disciplesʼ sides. Following that, Roan spoke with a cold voice. ”Shall I bring out the real top disciples living in my Pocket Dimensional Realm? I warn you, though. It will be even uglier than this.”

Floquei didnʼt feel angry. He knew Roan wasnʼt saying that to provoke him. Roan... was simply stating the truth. ”There is no need.”
