Death… And Me

Chapter 3224: Outlasting

The Black Fog of Chaos Energy quickly came out of Duereʼs body, and his blood seemed to be mixed with it. The world around changed, and a red hue spread over several kilometers. Duere... or whatever was controlling him, got into action.

ʼBlood Sucking Domain!ʼ

Immediately, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky felt their blood reacting to the domain. Their eyes, ears, and every other cavity seemed to start bleeding profusely, and all that blood flew in Duereʼs direction.

At the same time, even more of those blood spears took shape, now carrying more power than when Duere first attacked. They all pointed in the twinsʼ group direction, shooting at speeds normal Transition Realm Cultivators could never dream of avoiding.

*Zush, zush, zush, zush, zush, zush...*

In the next moment, the spears arrived!

”Hmph! Do you think you are the only one capable of using Domains?” Roan coldly snorted. ʼDeath World Domain!ʼ

Rean and Kentucky followed.

ʼLife World Domain!ʼ

ʼKawa Blade Domain!ʼ

All three of their Domain activated at the same time.

Roanʼs Domain mixed with Duereʼs, corroding it from within. Reanʼs Domain nullified all of the enemyʼs domainʼs abilities, regardless of whether it was detrimental to his group or beneficial to the user himself. Last but not least, Kentuckyʼs Domain could be used for both attack and defense, and in this instance, his countless Feather Blades shot in all directions, striking against the just as numerous Blood Spears.

”Impossible!” Duere refused to believe his eyes. Neither of those three was in the Void Tempering Realm yet, but they could counter his own domain with their strength. Letʼs not forget that Duere was using Divine Energy to fuel his domain.

*Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...*

Feather Blades and Blood Spears struck against each other, breaking in the process. Nonetheless, even more of them appeared, and the confrontation continued.

*Zush!*

Roan suddenly appeared right below Duere, his Scythe slashing up with unstoppable might. ”Where are you looking at?”

ʼDeath Style, Soaring Dragon!ʼ

Duere immediately reacted. Two blood spears appeared under his feet, and he used his Divine Energy to control and block Roanʼs attack.

*Bang!*

Yet, the two blood spears immediately broke apart!

”What?!” Duere was losing his mind already. Without another choice, he hastily used more of his Camaztoz Batʼs bloodline and created more of those blood spears. They all aimed at Roan, clashing against his Soaring Dragon Skill.

*Crash, crash, crash...*

Roanʼs momentum was finally stopped, but Duere wasnʼt in the clear yet. Roan moved way too fast that Duere didnʼt even know how he appeared there. If Roan could do it, so could Rean and Kentucky, right?

*Zush, zush!*

Sure enough, Rean and Kentucky appeared right above him, and they struck down.

ʼLife Fire, Flame Emperor Sword!ʼ

ʼDivine Bird Strike!ʼ

A flaming slash from one side and ten as hard as divine steel talons on the other closed in against Duere.

Yet, the one controlling Duere wasnʼt just a nobody. The blood of the broken blood spears immediately gathered back together, and two big shields appeared on both Duereʼs sides at the last moment.

*Boom, boom!*

Duere received the attack but slightly changed the shieldsʼ direction downward, parrying much of the power from Rean and Kentuckyʼs attack in Roanʼs direction. The use of Divine Energy and Chaos Energy was incredible in Duereʼs hand, and even the twinsʼ group attack had a hard time overcoming it.

As the attacks got parried, more Blood Spears materialized inside Duereʼs Domain, shooting in Rean, Roan, and Kentuckyʼs direction as Duere himself tried to open some distance from them. By now, it was already clear that Duere, or the one controlling him, was a long-ranged expert.

*Clang, clang, clang, clang...*

Kentuckyʼs Domain wasnʼt for show, though. Before the spears even arrived, Kentuckyʼs Feather Blades quickly struck against them. Both sides destroyed each other, clearing the path ahead to Duere.

Duere might have the cultivation level and cultivation energy type advantage, but the twinsʼ group had their own advantages, not only in numbers. Had Duere been a common Void Tempering Realm Late Stage Camazotz Bat, he would have lost a long time ago.

Kentucky immediately flew forward, using his Feather Blades to counter all of the Blood Spears from Duereʼs Domain. Even better than that, Kentuckyʼs Domain was slowly gaining the advantage, and some of his Feather Blades were able to destroy the opposing Blood Spears without being destroyed. Roanʼs corrosive Domain Effect was working nicely, even though the opponentʼs Domain was made with Divine Energy.

At the same time, Rean and Roan disappeared once again. With the Death World Domain active, the entire area was covered in shadows, which was the perfect environment to use the Shadow Air Movement Skill. The twins couldnʼt teleport to Duereʼs side, but they might as well look to be doing that, considering how fast they changed positions.

ʼDeath Style, Three Claws of the Dragon!ʼ

ʼDeath Style, Stellar Piercer!ʼ

Three White Scythes appeared on one of Duereʼs sides while a streaking light came from the other. Rean and Roan werenʼt giving Duere any chance to catch his breath at all.

Duere once again used his bloodline to create blood shields with his Divine Energy and Chaos Energy. His control wasnʼt any worse than the twins, and he deflected or directly blocked the attacks while using his Blood Spears to counter them... just to have Kentuckyʼs Feather Blades meeting those spears midway.

Duereʼs expression was terrible, and he kept being forced back at every instance. However, he didnʼt seem to be in a desperate situation. He was assured of his energy reserves. The twinsʼ group only had Transition Realm levels of energy, while he had plenty of Divine Energy and Chaos Energy at his disposition. If things continued like this, he was confident he would outlast them.

The battle continued, Duere using his higher cultivation level and cultivation energies to fend off the twins the best he could. The twins and Kentucky often injured him, but the same Chaos Energy acted on those injuries, closing them as fast as Reanʼs own Instant Recovery skill.

As time passed, Duereʼs situation became worse and worse. The turn of tables he was expecting simply didnʼt seem to be closing at all. Besides, they were all fighting at incredible speeds while using their domains and abilities nonstop. Duere felt like he was the one nearing the end of his reserves due to that. Then, he was forced to admit the impossible. Rean, Roan, and Kentuckyʼs reserves would probably outlast his own!
