Death… And Me Chapter 774 - You Better Keep Your Promise!

Chapter 774 - You Better Keep Your Promise!

"What did the Divine Demon Beasts say about the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Sacred Ground to you?" Red asked.

"The Sacred Ground?" Roan pondered over it for a bit before answering, "From what I know, it's one of the reasons why the Zasfins couldn't take control over the demon beasts. It provides all of them with extra strength, especially Divine Demon Beasts."

Red nodded, saying, "Exactly. Now then. Do you know how it works?"

Rean and Roan looked at each other and shook their heads. Of course, Red didn't see it due to the Death World, so they had to answer. "Isn't it because of the Spiritual Energy Fields around the Demon Beast Continent? We're fixing this one so that the Sacred Ground can work properly."

Red agreed with Roan. "That's not wrong. However, that isn't the entire truth. There's another darker side behind this." Red then paused for a moment before continuing, "The b.e.s.t.i.a.l Blood Pond."

*Pin!*

-Side Quest Opened: The World Beast Formation.-

-Description: Every year, the blood of the demon beasts who die on the planet is slowly dragged into the pond. The process might take a few days for demon beasts who die close or years for those who die far away. Nevertheless, their blood will eventually reach the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Blood Pond. There, their blood is purified and used in a World-cla.s.s formation that fortifies the demon beasts of the planet. The stronger the demon beast's bloodline, the greater the strength they gain from the formation. However, the formation has never really been fully activated, only partially. The fully activated formation is capable of much more than just fortifying the demon beasts.-

-Objective: Fully Activate the World Beast Formation.-

-Reward: 30000 Destiny Points-

Rean and Roan were taken aback by that. It had been quite some time since they last obtained a mission from the Soul Gem System, which was the mission related to Celis. Of course, Sister Orb and the twins were the only ones who heard that. Red had no idea, so he simply continued to talk.

"By coincidence, I've seen that pond once. Not to mention that Phex and the other Stage Nine Demon Beasts were there as well. I don't know what they were doing there, but that didn't matter. You guys have no idea. That pond is ridiculously enormous. Can you imagine just how many demon beasts would need to die to fill that up? Saying that millions died wouldn't be near enough," Red explained. "Doesn't matter how I see it. That was just too much! I would rather have the Zasfins being in command rather than letting our demon beasts become like that."

Rean looked at Red, who seemed extremely angry as he talked about that past. Soon, he said, "Ahem...I believe...you've committed a mistake."

Red snorted in response, though. "Hmph! Mistake? Hahaha! Are you saying that I saw things wrongly? Well then. How would you know that?"

"Of course, that's because the Soul Gem System Quest has just explained what's really happening there. It wasn't Phex and the others who filled those ponds with sacrifices. It was the World-cla.s.s formation instead..." As if Rean could really say such a thing. Those thoughts only pa.s.sed through his mind. 'Well, even if I said such a thing, I doubt he would believe it anyway.'

Rean then put those thoughts behind before saying, "All I can tell you is that the blood concentrated in the pond has nothing to do with the Stage Nine Demon Beasts. Well, at the very least, I can tell you that they weren't the ones who filled it up. Instead, it happens automatically."

"Automatically?" Red was taken aback as well. "Are you crazy? How can it happen on its own? You didn't feel the aura of the blood coming from the pond. The demon beast blood used to fill that were definitely demon beasts from all over the world. How can it get blood from everywhere?"

Rean and Roan were now in a dilemma. They could say that there was a World-cla.s.s formation acting on the entire planet. However, the problem was how they would explain how they knew about it. After all, maybe even the Divine Demon Beasts were unaware of it. At the very least, Phex and Darian didn't say that there was a formation there.

Seeing Rean and Roan's silence only increased Red's suspicion, though. "Hehe! So you can't even think about a full excuse. I guess you really are on the Divine Demon Beasts' side. However, I won't allow more demon beasts to be used on that thing. I don't know what the blood was used for, but it can't be for a good cause. That thing was evil!"

Red then looked in the direction where the Spiritual Energy Field's core was located. As long as he destroyed it, the b.e.s.t.i.a.l Blood Pound will lose its meaning...or so the Zasfins told him. It's not like he believed them completely, but he couldn't deny what he saw with his own eyes in the past either.

"I'm sorry, my beloved carrots. I'll definitely plant a lot of you once this is over. I'll make a big farm of you and give you the ultimate ending inside my belly." As soon as Red finished saying those words, the golden lighting at the tip of his horn appeared again. He had to act now, or the repair process of the Spiritual Energy Field would be finished. If that happened, he wouldn't be able to break the core anymore.

Rean and Roan's minds worked nonstop. However, they couldn't think about a way to stop Red at all. In the end, they only had one choice, defeat Red!

Suddenly, Roan's Death World disappeared as the twins' figures could be seen again.

Red, of course, didn't expect that. "What are you planning?"

Rean sighed in response, saying, "Red! Let's make a deal! If we win, you will give up trying to destroy the core. We might tell you why your conjecture is wrong in the future. In exchange, Roan will not use Death World anymore. Of course, by Death World, I mean that field where you couldn't see where we were located."

"And why should I do that? I can simply destroy the core right now." Said Red.

Rean smiled after hearing that, saying, "If you win, I'll retrieve the carrots. You'll be able to destroy the core and keep the carrots at the same time. Of course, you need to make a decision quickly since the core is getting close to being completely repaired."

Red narrowed his eyes as he looked at the carrots. In the end, he nodded, saying in response, "You better keep your promise!"
