Death… And Me

Chapter 3254: Friend

Rean and Kentucky also looked up there and saw the same guy. It was a man who seemed to be in his 40s. The main point was that his cultivation was at the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm. Without a doubt, this was one of the cultivators that came to Closal for the Divine

Werdlem Stone Contest.

Rean and Kentucky faintly smiled, and with Roan, those three shot to the skies, arriving by the guyʼs side in a moment. With Reanʼs Light and Divine Sense Bending Skill, they approached him without being noticed until they were only a few meters away.

Finally, his Spiritual Sense, which he kept active nonstop, passed through Reanʼs Divine Sense Bending Skill due to the proximity, and he reacted... way too late.

*Bang!*

The guy only felt a huge pain straight into his soul. In the next moment, his cultivation was sealed, and his consciousness was lost. He fell asleep.

*Zush!*

Rean and Roan then brought the guy inside the Dimensional Realm, and using the system, Rean copied the Energy Signature ID coming from the guyʼs Werdlem Stone. Rean could simply pull the guyʼs Werdlem Stone out and attach it to one of his bracelets, but that wasnʼt necessary. After all, the bracelet was created based on the systemʼs ability, so why go through the more time-consuming method?

Roan also did his part, reading the most recent memories of the guy. He could see that the cultivator had a seal on his most important memories, probably related to his sect and techniques. Roan didnʼt care about those, though. He only read the simple ones so Rean could make use of them while going up. You never know if this guy intended to meet someone there, right?

*Zush!*

Once coming out of the Dimensional Realm, he checked everything. ”Alright, letʼs take a look.” Rean pulled the guyʼs CD and confirmed he got access to the Werdlem Network under the guyʼs name.

”His name is Troyae, a cultivator from the Humral Planet. He did indeed get a pass to come to Closal to participate in the Divine Werdlem Stone Contest but now was summoned back. It seems like everyone is reaching the same conclusion as us. They donʼt believe the Divine Werdlem Stone Contest will happen a few months later anymore.”

Roan didnʼt seem to care. ”Whatever. Just use his ID and go up the elevator. Kentucky and I will wait in the Dimensional Realm.”

”Eh?” Kentucky got disappointed. ”And here I thought we would force our way up. So boring...”

Rean patted Kentuckyʼs shoulder, assuring him. ”Donʼt worry. We will have our fun soon. Duereʼs Spaceship is on another part of the Inquisition Hallʼs Space Station. And everything there is watched closely by all kinds of monitoring circuitry formation devices. Once up there, our only way forward will be through brute force.”

Truth be told, Rean could think of a way or two to avoid everything. One such was using Sister Orb to hack every formation while sneaking as perfectly as possible. Itʼs just that it would take way too long. Getting close was enough.

As for why they simply donʼt barge in straight away? Thatʼs because the Inquisition Hall might guess they want Duereʼs Spaceship. So, before reaching the top, there would be a slight chance of the Inquisition Hall doing something to the ship.

Kentucky and Roan disappeared, and Rean used his Body Transformation to change into the same appearance as the guy. The good thing about this guy was that he was quite small. Rean and Roan still had their youngster bodies, so changing into adult forms wasnʼt impossible, but it consumed unnecessary time and energy.

Through their connection, Rean checked Roanʼs memories, taking a look at the memories Roan read from Troyae. Only then did he cancel his Light and Divine Sense Bending Skill, making himself visible in the air.

A few minutes later, Rean arrived at the Space Elevator of the Inquisition Hall. There was indeed a crowd there, waiting for their time to go up and leave. Yet, Rean heard from the others around that this wasnʼt even a thousandth of the experts that had come to this planet. Most of them didnʼt trust the Inquisition Hall and decided to go back to their planet by using the Spaceship from the other powers. Most of those who were here only came to this place because they were in a hurry or didnʼt have any other choice.

Rean ignored all that, and he waited his time to go up without causing any trouble. Once his time arrived, and used the Energy Signature ID from Troyaeʼs Werdlem Stone. Troyaeʼs information quickly appeared on the terminal, and Rean was allowed to enter the Space Elevator.

”Troyae, over here!” Suddenly, someone called him at one of the seats.

Rean looked over and faintly smiled. He had read in the memories Roan got that Troyae would be returning to his planet with a friend of his. He quickly approached the guy, taking the seat on the side. ”Well, Donfina, letʼs hope we wonʼt become food for some other crazy formation just by being here.”

Donfina was a Peak Transition Realm female cultivator from the same Sect as Troyae. They came together to the contest, aiming to acquire the Divine Werdlem Stone. ”Shut your mouth, idiot!” She complained. ”What if the Inquisition Hall decides to cause us problems because of your big mouth?”

Rean shrugged. ”If we werenʼt at war against the Klonre Clan, I would never have used their Space Station. But you are right; I said too much.”

Donfina looked at Rean, her eyes narrowing. That was definitely the same Troyae she knew. His demeanor, his big mouth, his appearance and his voice. Yet, she felt something was off. ”Did something happen? You seem... different.”

Reanʼs heart skipped a bit. ”We-Well... We are going back to fight in the war, arenʼt we? You canʼt blame me for not feeling joyful about it.”

Donfina kept looking at Rean, who kept his poker face. Finally, she gave up. ”Whatever. Iʼll cover you if the Inquisition Hall tries something, so cover me as well.”

”You got it!” Rean agreed straight away.

Not long after, all the seats were filled, and the elevator began to go up.
