Death… And Me

Chapter 3149: Just A Cat

ʼNow... the higher their cultivation, the bigger is the clash between the bloodline of the Flood Dragon and the Fire Element Core of the Salamanders. Now that I think about it, I donʼt think any Transition Realm Salamander ever made far in the Divine Werdlem Stone Contest,ʼ Rean thought.

The Millennial Divine Werdlem Stone Contest was open for everyone to see. It was even transmitted all over the Werdlem Network of the planet. The winners and losers of every edition were all well-documented in the network for anyone who which to check. After the twins found out that something was going to happen during the next contest, they took a look into it. They knew well about all the editions since it started twenty thousand years ago.

Reanʼs mind went back to the information he got from the network. The best Salamander, at least in the contests that had final positionings, was only in the hundreds. For a Demon Beast with a Divine Bloodline, even if very thin, such a thing shouldnʼt be happening. Not a single one of them ever won the contest and ascended to the Divine Realm.

Now that Rean was seeing the conflict between the bloodline and the salamanderʼs true nature, the reason became obvious. They were by no means weak, but this internal conflict made it very easy to explore the salamandersʼ weaknesses. They couldnʼt fight for long, their control wasnʼt as precise, and the conflict also affected their manipulation of Spiritual Energy.

Thatʼs where Rean could intervene, and the reason for that was his experience. Rean and Roan were the epitome of Light and Dark, Ying and Yang. Yet, these two pole-opposite forces worked in harmony with the twins. The Salamandersʼ cases were in a similar case. They had a high Yang Force in conflict with a high Yin Force, which was the Yang Energy and Fire Element of the Salamanders against the Water Element and Yin Energy of the Flood Dragonʼs bloodline.

In Reanʼs eyes, the salamanders were quite lucky already. A Divine Bloodline was no joke, and such a conflict should have brought the extinction of the Lava Pristine Salamanders a long time ago. Yet, they survived until now, and since the bloodline became this thin, they could at least deal with it while enjoying some of its power benefits. He can just imagine how bad it was for the first hybrids with th Flood Dragonʼs bloodline all those years ago; definitely not something nice to see.

Reanʼs Light Element was soon followed by Roanʼs Dark Element. Yin and Yang also joined Reanʼs manipulation as they sipped into every cell of the Salamanderʼs body. Ultimately, they joined around the Salamanderʼs core, and a harmonization began. As long as the Salamander didnʼt fight it, Rean could make both forces submit.

Ambrisio paid very close attention as Rean worked on his body. He was ready to immediately retaliate were Rean to start causing any harm to him. The Transition Realm Lava Pristine Salamander observing far away was also looking at it closely with his Spiritual Sense. That was the only reason Ambrisio took the chance to be tested. Otherwise, he would have sent one of his lower-level race members that came with him.

The changes didnʼt take long to be noticeable, though. In just a minute, Ambrision felt the conflict of his bloodline and his fire element subside. Somehow, he now could control both energies. That control improved, and after just ten minutes, he didnʼt feel any of the pain of that conflict anymore.

”Phew...” Rean finally removed his ʼpawʼ from Ambrisio. ”You are lucky. My special ability just so happened to be useful for your raceʼs issue. I just canʼt guarantee that this solution is permanent. Nonetheless, I think I got both sides under control for the next few tens of years, perhaps forever.”

Ambrisio immediately circulated his Spiritual Energy and Fire Element. His Flood Dragon Bloodline also helped with that, but this time, it didnʼt cause any conflict. His head turned to the ground, and he released his race dragon raceʼs signature attack.

ʼDragonʼs Breath!ʼ

A sea of flame, traveling at incredible speeds, immediately covered the area below up to several hundred meters. The sea of flames was powerful, definitely not too far from what a Transition Realm Lava Pristine Salamander could achieve. The addition of the Flood Dragon Bloodline without any conflicts into the attack definitely helped tremendously.

Ambrisio stopped, a warm and cooling feeling spreading through his body. Both energies returned to their normal state, and his body felt invigorated after both sides were used in that attack. He never felt that good before after using the Dragonʼs Breath, a gift of his Flood Dragon bloodline.

The Lava Pristine Salamanders were a Race with a Dragon Bloodline, a Dragonkin Race. Would a race related to the Dragons ever need to employ someone to help protect them? Of course not! The only reason they did that at all, like the Lava Rock Golems, was because fighting by themselves was just too painful. They were strong, but there was a price to pay for that strength that they would rather not have to pay if they could.

Ambrisio looked back at Rean, now believing every single word from him. ”You truly can do it... You said it was your Raceʼs Special Ability, right? However, Iʼve never seen your race before. What kind of race are you?”

Before Rean could answer, another voice cut in. ”I want to hear about that as well.”

An enormous Lava Pristine Salamander then appeared in the distance. Yet, even with its several tens of meters body, it arrived at the site in a few seconds. Rean and Kentucky didnʼt need to guess. They knew that it was the Transition Realm Lava Pristine Salamander who was observing them until now.

”So big...” Of course, Rean and Kentucky pretended to be impressed and surprised by the

newcomer.

”Iʼm Jazorth, one of the high Salamanders of our race,” he introduced himself imposingly. ”Kid, what race are you?”

Rean showed a respectful expression and quickly answered. ”To be honest, Iʼm not sure I really have a race. Thatʼs because I truly was nothing but a normal cat when I was born... or so

I think.”
