Death… And Me

Chapter 3147: That Was Fast

ʼEh?!ʼ Even Kentucky was surprised. ʼDidnʼt you say it would catch too much attention because of our cultivations?ʼ

Rean nodded. ʼExactly. It will absolutely catch a lot of attention, but not an unwanted one.ʼ

”Let him go!” Finally, one of the Lava Rock Golems shot to the skies, quickly being followed by the rest of the group. Their leaderʼs core had just been caught, so they had to do something. A good thing about Golem Spirits was that they didnʼt die if you took their cores away. They could eventually rebuild their bodies if they were kept in the right environment. A Stage Eight Lava Rock Golem like this one probably would be able to recover to full power in a year, more or less. So... he was still pretty much alive.

Rean looked at the army of Lava Rock Golems rushing at them. His hand then filled with Spiritual Energy as he held the Golemʼs core. ”Oh, so you donʼt care what happens to him? Try to get closer and see if I donʼt shatter his core right here and right now. I know Golem Spirit Cores are very resistant. But try to not forget. I broke through his Lava Rock Body in a single blow. Iʼm pretty confident I can smash his core to dust.”

Sure enough, all the Lava Rock Golems stopped in mid-air, not advancing anymore. That Golem Core in Reanʼs hand was just too important for their group. They couldnʼt let him die. ”Do you know what you are doing? Attacking a defender of the Lava Pristine Salamander and threatening his life definitely wonʼt be good for you or your friend.”

As he talked to Rean, part of his group separated and flew in Kentucky direction. Rean, obviously, noticed that. ”Do you not care about your leader?”

”We do,” the same Golem answered. ”But this core is also what is keeping you alive now. If you truly destroy it, then you will have nothing to stop us from attacking. Your friend, however, is on his own. We might as well level up the playfield. Hmph! You only managed to catch our leader because you took him by surprise. That wonʼt happen with the rest of us.”

Rean nodded with a smile. ”Thatʼs quite a good plan. Too bad it is the worst choice you could make.”

*Puff, puff, Puff!*

Muffled sounds began to come from the Golems that went after Kentucky. When the others looked in that direction, all they could see was a ray of Light and Dark Elements flashing through the chests of various Stage Six and Seven Lava Rock Golems. One core after another was taken away, and none of those Golems could do anything. Their bodies crumbled one after another as well.

Then, Kentucky finally stopped, opening his beak and showing ten Lava Rock Golem cores in his mouth. ”As expected of Spirits deriving from Earth Elements. Their cores have quite a good taste. Should I just swallow them all?”

The Lava Rock Golems finally understood. This duo simply werenʼt Demon Beasts they could do anything against. The difference in strength was just too great. Now, there wasnʼt only one, but eleven Lava Rock Golem cores in the hands of Rean and Kentuckyʼs mouth.

”W-What do you want?” The Lava Rock Golem, who was talking to Rean earlier, gave up any resistance. He was the last Stage Seven Lava Rock Golem standing. The few that remained were only at Stage Six or below now.

Rean, as a good Demon Beast, spoke with power. ”I already told you what I want! We came to see the lava Pristine Salamanders because we have some business with them. Yet, some puny spirits tried to pretend they were some shit and stop us. This is the Demon Beasts Territory, Demon Beasts Continent! You have no say here. I only want to talk to the lava Pristine Salamanders!”

The golem was visibly enraged, but he didnʼt say anything lest Rean and Kentucky destroy his companionsʼ cores. ”They probably already know what happened here. You might not know this, but this place has a formation to make sure no one tries anything on Divine Bloodline owners like the Lava Pristine Salamanders. Nonetheless, I can fulfill your wish and call them right now.”

He took out a CD, which wasnʼt anything strange for Demon Beasts to have in the Werdlem Empire. ”How should I address you to them?”

Reanʼs mind wandered a bit once more, finally settling for a new name. ”Tell them that Sylvester and Tweety have come to see them.”

Kentucky knew about those, thanks to Sister Orbʼs archives of Reanʼs life before the

reincarnation. ʼYou better not be saying Iʼm Tweety!ʼ

Rean glanced at him in the distance. ʼOf course not! Sylvester gets fucked all the time, so you are obviously him. Iʼm Tweety.ʼ

Kentucky almost vomited blood. ʼShit! Why did I have to open my mouth?ʼ

Rean continued. ʼBy the way, Roan is Hector. It is just perfect.ʼ

For some reason, Roan felt extremely annoyed in the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm. ʼThat idiot must be saying some bullshit again...ʼ he thought to himself before resuming his cultivation.

Obviously, the Lava Rock Golem didnʼt hear that conversation from Rean and Kentucky. ”Alright, I have sent the message, and it seems like they are already on their way.”

Reanʼs expression relaxed. Following that, he threw back the core at that Golem. ”Then we have nothing else to talk. Scram!”

Kentucky felt a little disappointed he couldnʼt swallow the cores. They felt like they would be tasty, even if they wouldnʼt give him any benefit. He used his Spiritual Energy and shot the cores back at the remaining Lava Rock Golems.

The various Golems caught the cores and struggled to remain calm. However, the Stage Seven one raised his hand in front of them. ”We are not their match. Letʼs retreat for now. I have already explained everything to the Lava Pristine Salamanders.” Finally, they all turned around and dove back into the Lava River, disappearing inside.

Kentucky got to Reanʼs side, looking in the distance with his eyes. ”That was fast. They are already here.”

Rean nodded, nothing the same thing with his Spiritual Sense. ”That was fast.”
