Death… And Me Chapter 196 - Super Effective

Chapter 196 - Super Effective

Rean's group first looked for a place to recover. Obviously, they didn't continue to move in the Sun Streak Mountain Range's direction. Fortunately, they were in the middle of a forest, so it wasn't that hard to find one in the end.

Right after, they began to recover their Spiritual Energy. Rean and Roan then brought all quite a few Rank Two Spirit Stones. Not only that, but Rean also threw a few of those Stones at Westren and Lana.

"You can use those to recover your Spiritual Energy. Once I've recovered enough, I'll heal your injuries too, so just concentrate on not making them worse."

The siblings nodded and accepted Rean's Spirit Stones. Still, they were quite impressed that Rean could take out Rank Two Spirit Stones that easily.

'It seems like he wasn't lying when he said that he probably had more Spirit Stones than the elder from before.'

Around one hour later, Rean finally got up again and approached the siblings. After that, he put his hands on their shoulders before gathering Light Element.

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!'

Suddenly, the injuries on Westren and Lana began to heal at high speeds. Nevertheless, because it wasn't his body, he couldn't heal them as fast as he can himself. Of course, compared to what he had to do before, it was still several times faster.

Around a minute later, all the injuries on their bodies disappeared without leaving a single scar behind. Fortunately, they didn't get any too serious one, or it might have been a problem if they had to wait until now.

Westren and Lana had seen Rean used this ability on himself. The same happened with Roan. However, it was the first time they were healed by them. Obviously, they were taken aback by the incredible feeling that comes while the Light Element enters their bodies. Both Westren and Lana were just a step away from moaning in delight. Yet, it might be because they still feel the adrenaline of the previous battle, but they were able to hold themselves back.

"Oh! Finally, some people who don't start making weird noises when are being healed. When I was in the Doctor's building healing everyone, they kept moaning all the time. During the first days, the doctors there looked at me with a weird face because of this. Just after a few weeks did they all understand that I wasn't doing that on purpose."

Westren and Lana didn't know who the people Rean healed were. However, they really couldn't blame them since they understood why that happened. Rean's Light Energy just feels way too good!

"Cough, cough... Forget about the moaning. Thank you for taking care of our injuries, Rean."

Rean smiled before nodding. After that, he returned to his position and continued to recover his Spiritual Energy. As for Roan, he simply ignored everything and focused on his recovery too.

Back where Rean's group killed Buran and Okrin, quite a few cultivators of the Heaven's Might Sect gathered. They kept guarding the place while waiting for someone to arrive. At some point, a man appeared beside Buran's body without the disciples even noticing. When one of them finally saw the person, he almost jumped in fright!

"Ah!"

"E-Elder Galef!"

The others quickly heard that name and looked at the man. Right after, they all bowed to him.

"Paying Respects to Inner Sect's Elder Galef."

Galef just nodded and kept examining the bodies.

'Weird... These injuries don't match the techniques of the elders of the Sky Piercing Sect. Also, why all their injuries were this rotten already?'

Obviously, that was because of Roan's Dark Element.

Galef then pondered a bit.

'Hum... The Sky Piercing Sect seems to have found some new helpers... Perhaps they employed some of the Shadow Reapers? There is a good chance that it is the case.'

A cold glint then appeared on Galef's eyes for a second before disappeared.

'I didn't expect that the Sky Piercing Sect would kill two Core Formation Elders so sudden. Most likely, the ones who came were at the Core and Soul Fusion Realm.'

'...'

'If I'm not wrong, the kids from the report were sent to catch our attention and make Buran abandon his post at the camp. When Buran finally arrived here, he was ambushed and killed. After all, there is no way that Foundation Establishment Kids could kill a Late Stage Core Formation Realm elder.'

Galef couldn't be blamed for thinking like that. Where would you find kids at the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment strong enough to do such a thing? Unless you were crazy, one wouldn't even consider the possibility.

'Still, the battle continued for a long time. From the looks of it, the one who attacked Buran and Okrin wasn't that much stronger than them. What should I do...?'

Galef then looked at the disciples around before asking.

"Has anyone seen these so-called freak kids?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"We sent quite a few disciples to look for traces, but it was as if they evaporated in mid-air."

Galef nodded.

"As I thought."

Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators could fly. Since no traces of their escape was left behind after such a long battle, Galef believed that they escaped flying. Of course, that couldn't be further from the truth. However, who could expect a master of killing like Roan to appear here? Things like covering one's tracks weren't anything hard for him at all.

Galef then looked at one of the disciples beside him.

"The report said that the kids were moving in the Sun Streak Mountain Range's direction. Get some groups to watch the routes to that place. Tell them that if they find anyone, they are prohibited from engaging in battle. Retreat and report it back to me first."

The disciple quickly accepted the order and left straight away.

However, Galef didn't believe that they would find anything.

'Sigh... Whoever did this is probably back in the Sky Piercing Sect's side already. There is no way they would continue this obvious journey to the Sun Streak Mountain Range. It will be impossible to catch them now.'

Still, Galef looked in the direction of the enemy's territory, and his expression changed into a cold smile.

'Hmph! Since you guys were bold enough to send a Core and Soul Fusion Realm here to kill our outer sect elders, then don't blame us for doing the same.'

Galef then ordered the disciples to bring Buran and Okrin's bodies back and left right after.

Little did Rean and Roan know, but their actions had just initiated a chain reaction in this war. At first, the elders were leaving the low-level disciples to battle without intervening. However, Buran's death changed everything. With that, the scale of the battles quickly escalated.

Of course, although the twins acted as a trigger, they only sped up the inevitable.

Back on the twins' and siblings' side, the four of them finally finished recovering their energy.

Roan then looked at Westren to ask something else.

"We can't use the same route anymore. After all, they will definitely station scouts around the area. Now that a Late Stage Core Formation Elder is dead, they will put a lot more attention into preventing meaningless deaths too. That being said, it will be quite hard to kill more members of their sect from now on. What I need from you is another route where we can enter the Sun Streak Mountain Range without being noticed."

Westren immediately asked.

"So... can we use a route that pa.s.ses through our own territory first?"

Roan pondered a bit and nodded.

"It should be fine now. That last battle was enough for me to understand quite a few things."

Rean nodded as well.

"It was good indeed... even though I almost died. Ahem... Anyway, there is no need to poke the hornets' nest now that they are all waiting for us."

Westren couldn't help but sigh in relief. He also believed that continuing to use the same route would definitely be much more dangerous now. Maybe someone even stronger than that Late Stage Core Formation Realm elder could even appear. If that happened, Westren didn't believe they would be that lucky again.

"Alright, come with me. Considering the time we spent recovering and the distance we traveled since the last battle, I believe that this route should be pretty safe."

Rean couldn't help but mention.

"You seem to know this place pretty well."

Westren nodded.

"But of course. Before this war started, this region was part of our territory. I did quite a few missions in this place. There were quite a few demon beasts in this area too. Too bad that with the war, all of them ran away or were killed. I was used to getting quite a good number of demon cores here."

Roan immediately understood.

"Lana's fault, right?"

Westren's eyes lit up as he nodded vigorously.

"Who else if not her? Hahaha!"

Rean didn't understand, though.

Noticing Rean's puzzled face, Lana sighed before explaining.

"As you know, I'm also an alchemist. Quite a few types of pills need demon cores as catalysts. Well, since my idiot brother is almost always lazying around doing nothing, I had him come here to gather demon cores for me."

Westren's mouth twitched.

"Is that how you thank me for my efforts?"

"What effort? Who were the ones who used the pills in the end, uh? Be thankful that you have a sister who only charges you the price of the items and nothing else. Otherwise, do you think you would have enough Spirit Stones to buy the pills yourself?"

Westren immediately shut up after hearing that.

Seeing that, Rean couldn't help but remember a particular sentence.

"Westren received a Critical Hit. It's super effective!"

Too bad that only people from Earth would understand that reference. Still, Westren could at least tell that he was being made fun of.

"Ahem... Now, would you look at the time? We better get going!"

In the next second, Westren dashed away without even looking behind.

Rean and Lana laughed at each other before their group followed Westren as well.
