Death… And Me

Chapter 3340 Itʼs Not Me!

The twinsʼ group came out, flying downwards to the building that had been raised near the center of the phenomenon. Emaniora and her friends also closely followed, they all entering the building together with the other groups.

There werenʼt many experts in there, as the majority was out looking for the Starlight Crystals and the possible way into the Valames City. Rean, as the one with the authorization to come to this place, took the lead and went to one of the few counters. ”Hi, we were sent here to take our assignments.”

The cultivator behind the terminal looked at Rean, a little surprised with his cultivation level. ”How did you even get here?”

Rean smiled but didnʼt answer. Instead, he gave his ID for the guy to check.

”A Golden Level Formations Master? Itʼs not too bad with your level. Still weird with your cultivati- hum? Oh! Flintstone. Now I see...” The manʼs behavior changed, and he quickly did his job. ”Itʼs done. Your group can now run around the center of the phenomenon. You can even try to enter it, but just like everyone else, you will simply appear on the other side. Anyway, please make sure to contact us if you find a way into the city or any clue regarding the source of this phenomenon.”

Rean nodded before walking out of the building. Whoever that Flintstone was, he didnʼt have much interest. ʼAlright, Emaniora, this is your time to show what you can do. Our objective is to get into the city, and you seem to know something. Show us we werenʼt wrong for bringing you here.ʼ

Emaniora nodded. ʼThatʼs my intention. If nothing changed, the place where we found our crystals should be in this direction.ʼ

Finally, Emaniora decided to take flight so everyone could follow her. The White Fog in this area was even thicker, and the twinsʼ group couldnʼt see more than a few meters ahead of them. As for Divine Senses, they simply didnʼt even leave their bodies. Thatʼs why there were only Space-Time experts using Divine Senses on the outskirts since it was useless inside.

Yet, just as they began to fly, a man wearing bright yellow robes came out of the building, stopping in front of their group. ”Wait right there!”

He wasnʼt the only one. Quite a few more appeared, surrounding the twinsʼ group. ”Who is this guy called Fred?” The man leading the group asked. The guy was fat, truly fat. In fact, most of the people who surrounded Reanʼs group were all way above the average weight for their size. They wore weird feather crows, and the man leading the group had the biggest crow of them all. Calling them weird was an understatement.

Rean stepped forward, raising his hand while trying to ignore that groupʼs sense of fashion. ”That would be me. We already got our assignments, so why stop us?”

”So it is you,” the man narrowed his eyes. Then, he waved his hand, and Spatial Power gathered around Rean, pulling him to the manʼs front. ”You are the one using my Clanʼs name for your benefit, uh? Thatʼs quite bold.”

”Eh?” Rean could have fought back that Spatial Pull, but that also told him that the man in front of him was in the Peak Stage of the Space-Time Realm. Rean refrained from irritating him. ”I donʼt know what you are talking about. My name is truly Fred Flintstone. Or are you saying I somehow faked my identity? Is such a thing even possible?”

”Iʼm not saying your name is fake, idiot,” the man spoke. ”What Iʼm saying is that you were lucky to have the same surname as my clan, and you took advantage of it.”

”I didnʼt even know you existed before I got into the airship that brought us to this place!” Rean countered. ”Also, I got my slot fair and square. Iʼm a Golden Level Formations Master, and Iʼm registered in the Formations Guild. They arranged a slot for me after seeing my accomplishments.”

”Yes, I checked that already,” the man continued. ”However, even with that position of yours, it doesnʼt explain how you managed to get to investigate the center of the phenomenon, at least not without pretending to be part of my clan. A group of your level should have been left at the outskirts.”

”Thatʼs exactly what was going to happen,” Rean agreed with him. ”However, I made a deal with senior Sami, and he arranged for us to come here. I did not use my name since I didnʼt even know it had any kind of weight. It was due to that deal that we are here now.”

”A deal...?” the man narrowed his eyes. ”And by Sami, you mean Sami Nalatou?”

”That Iʼm not sure,” Rean shook his head. ”I just know that seniorʼs name was Sami. However, he was the one to use his airship to bring us here.”

”Then it is definitely Sami Nalatou. That was his job for the next three days, so there is no mistake,” the man confirmed. ”Alright, if you are not lying, we can confirm it right now. Iʼm going to call Sami, and you better hope he confirms your story.”

Rean crossed his arms, confidence printed on his face. ”Sure! Go ahead. I would call him myself if I at least knew his number. I doubt a senior of his level would share his name with a Void Tempering Realm cultivator like me, though.”

”Hmph! Letʼs see if your confidence will hold,” the man spoke and then closed his eyes. He was obviously using his VS device attached to his brain. Yet, soon after, his expression changed, and when he opened his eyes again, it was as weird as his appearance. ”You... helped him solve the seven-phased rune issue?”

”Why do you all make it such a big deal?” Rean asked back. ”It was just a small problem with the conduit between the second and eighth layer during the different phases. Anyway, yes, I helped him solve that problem. Can we go now?”

The man felt even more surprised to hear it from Reanʼs mouth. No doubt Rean was the same person Sami mentioned. ”This must be fate...”

He looked at his clan members, nodding at them. ”Let them go. What this boy said was the truth.”

Finally, he turned his attention back to Rean. ”Boy... have you heard about the mist library?”

The moment he said those words, Emanioraʼs heart skipped a beat.
