Death… And Me Chapter 363 - It's Up To You Now

Chapter 363 - It's Up To You Now

At some point, Calina and Luina finally gave up and focused on their tasks. As Rean mentioned, Roan continued to give Luina a few pieces of advice here and there. Sometimes he would fight Luina to show her points he deemed to be important. Of course, he wasn't the only one. Rean also fought with her a few times. After all, he wasn't much weaker when compared to Roan.

Roan also included Malaka and Calina in these training sessions. He was going to do it anyway, so he might as well put everyone to work. However, it was the fight between Calina and Luina that was the most intense. Unfortunately for Luina, Calina was still a princess of the Empire with top cultivation techniques and skills. Because of that, she was beaten up quite badly.

'Just who is this Illia? I have close to no chance against her. If it was a real life and death battle, I would only be able to flee. Only sneak attacks have some effect on her. But even that doesn't make that much of a difference.'

Calina smiled with a confident expression as she said.

"Hahaha! Is that all you have? Weren't you so confident before? You're a disappointment!"

It was then that Rean's voice began to echo in Luina's mind.

'Three steps to the right. Then charge straight forward.'

Luina was taken aback for a second but immediately complied with those words.

'As soon as you appear in front of Illia, don't attack. She definitely has something ready for you there. Use your speed to force her to show her card. After that, use your speed again to dodge and attack her.'

Luina's three steps were perfect. She pa.s.sed through Calina's attacks and appeared in front of her in a flash. Calina was surprised but did not panic. The moment Luina was about to land a hit, she activated her hidden skill. Roan had taught her very well. As a cultivator who didn't use weapons, her body's vulnerability was her greatest problem. She always had something ready for anyone who got close.

'Water Prison!'

In an instant, an enormous sphere of water appeared right where Luina was. Since she was charging directly at Calina, she would definitely fall into it. However, Luina showed a faint smile as she used her Wind Specter Steps. The straight attack only landed on an afterimage as she moved in another direction.

'What?!'

Calina was shocked that her trap didn't work. Still, she didn't give up. The time for Luina's dodge was enough for her to open distance again. But it was at this moment that a dagger came from the skies, aiming right at her blind spot.

Calina's Spiritual Sense finally noticed the dagger when it got close, quickly dodging as fast as possible. Still, it hit the side of her body, leaving a deep gash. Of course, Luina didn't really aim at a vital point like the head or the heart. This wasn't a battle to the death, but just 'training.'

"Oh! You don't seem that confident anymore, either. Little girl, this woman is much more experienced than you."

Roan glanced at Rean, who pretended to not notice it and looked away.

'What's the point of training if you tell her what to do? She needs to learn by herself.'

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

'Telling her the right thing to do will also help her with her training. This wasn't a fair training session to start with since Calina got your personal training lessons for a long time. I'm just balancing the stakes.'

Roan narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything. It's not like Luina would stay for long anyway. As long as she remembered everything he told her, she would eventually improve with time.

'By the way, is the guy still following us?'

Rean nodded.

'Yep. Not only him, but there is an extra presence as well.'

As mentioned before, Rean's Fourth Form of the Life Style can also detect any level of Spiritual Sense. Obviously, he noticed Galios coming for their group a long time ago.

'There's no doubt. One is Luina's protector, while the other one's probably Tiria or Juvian.'

Although they left on their own, the Sect knew that the Umbral Sect was still after them. Obviously, they wouldn't let the twins walk alone if they weren't sure no one followed them. This time, it was Juvian who was following the twins from afar with his Spiritual Sense together with Galios.

Galios also observed it from afar and couldn't help but be impressed.

'The twins' training methods are truly incredible. Luina can go all out without worrying about injuries. Rean can simply heal everything that isn't fatal while Roan is giving her instructions. I wish our Sect had someone like them.'

Galios then looked in another direction and smiled.

'Seems like Dalamu also understands it very well. Someone had been following the twins for a long time already but didn't do anything. Well, that's good too.'

Calina and Luina's battle continued for a long time. Every now and then, Rean stepped in to heal the two girls' injuries so that they could continue. Of course, he, Roan, and Malaka also partic.i.p.ated after those two were done. And just like that, they continued on their way back while skills flew everywhere. The only one who didn't do anything was Kentucky. The Minokawa just kept flying above as if nothing was happening on the ground at all.

Finally, dusk approached as light dimmed.

Roan then looked at everyone before saying.

"This is enough for today. We can continue tomorrow."

Malaka and Rean's eyes met each other for a second as they reached a mutual understanding.

"That's good. There's a river close by. Let's go there and wash our bodies before we prepare something to eat, shall we?"

Roan, Calina, and Luina didn't find anything strange with those words, so they simply nodded.

"That's good. I have blood marks and dirt everywhere. I need to wash it off."

As soon as they arrived at the river, Rean then sent Malaka a Spiritual Sense Message.

'It's up to you now.'

Malaka nodded.

'Leave it to me.'
