Death… And Me

Chapter 3103  Waiting For Karev

Well, Rean expected much. Kentucky wasn't exactly the most pro-active demon beast out there. "That's fine. Soul Gem might have some other agenda, but at least he seems interested in keeping our Universe going."

"Hmph!" Roan snorted. "Soul Gem seems to want us to do something here in the Werdlem Empire. If we found out that our own Universe was gone, especially Calina and the others, then he would be dead once I got out. You can be sure he is helping protect Lisan Universe because he and his friends or whatever need us still."

"I don't doubt that," Rean agreed with Roan on that point. Rean had finished healing himself as well by now, so he stretched a little. "Anyway, we now know that Lisan is fine, even if that means falling in the Garisan Universe's hands in a certain way. We have to see what we will do from here onwards."

It was then that Rean thought of something. "Hey, Roan. You needed Dragon Blood to concoct the pills, right? Isn't a Minokawa's Regal Bloodline even better?"

Kentucky's mouth twitched. "You want to harvest my blood to make pills? What do you think Regal Bloodlines are for?"

Roan shook his head, though. "It won't work."

"Is it because Dragon and Minokawa bloodlines are different?" Rean wondered.

"No," Roan glanced at Kentucky with a dark expression. "I just don't like the idea of swallowing a pill made of this guy's blood. It's disgusting!"

Kentucky felt like crying. "You are disgusting! First of all, I didn't even want to come here? It was you two who called me... even if indirectly."

"Or so I wanted to say," Roan continued. "Too bad Rean was really right. The properties of Dragons and Minokawas are different. Even if Kentucky has a Regal Bloodline, it won't work for the Void Tempering Pill. Not losing much here anyway."

"But that still means you find my blood disgusting..." Kentucky complained.

Rean shrugged. "Well, I can't argue with Roan there. I mean, you have too much fat. It is bad for the heart."

Kentucky put his hands on his waist and stuffed his chest with pride. "Fat? These are muscles! I lost my fat a long time ago, I will tell you. The fact you can't recognize the awesomeness of the Great Kentucky is your loss."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Roan couldn't give a damn. "I guess the 50 Celestial Points weren't spent for nothing. We did get the information we wanted. Now, let's return to the Dimensional Realm and cultivate. Karev went to the north to look for the Salite Root, so he probably won't be back in the next few months."

"I'm not cultivating!" Kentucky obviously refused the idea. "I don't need to cultivate, after all. My overall strength is just being suppressed by the system to Stage Six. I didn't lose it. So, good luck. I'm going to take a look around. Perhaps there is something fun to do here."

However, before Kentucky could move, Roan put a hand on his shoulder, making it impossible for the bird to leave. "Sure, you don't need to cultivate. However, the Spiritual Energy you absorb will still be shared with us, thus increasing OUR cultivation speed."

Kentucky immediately tried to get free. Unfortunately for him, he truly had his strength reduced to Stage Six. He was definitely stronger than any other Stage Six Demon Beast on this planet, but Roan was another matter altogether. "Let me go! I already cultivated it for thousands of years! I don't want it anymore!"

*Zush, zush...*

Then, Roan and Kentucky disappeared into the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm. As for Rean, he just laughed and began to repair the concealing formation. After he was done, he also entered the Dimensional Realm, just in time to see a crying Kentucky absorbing Spiritual Energy from the many Spiritual Stones in there. ---

Time passed, and Karev got to the north of the planet. The Salite Root, which went by the name of Solomel Root on this planet, wasn't hard to acquire. Karev was strong enough to deal with the dangers of Drumfel Caves. However, as easy as it was for him to search for it, it didn't mean it was fast.

It wasn't after five months of constant search through the countless paths of Drumfel Caves that Karev finally found it. There was even a Stage Nine Demon Beast protecting the material, but Karev dealt with it pretty fast.

Looking at the roots in his Spatial Ring and the information Roan passed, Karev sighed. "No wonder no one wants to go look for this shit. It isn't hard to acquire once you locate one, but not only does it have very few uses, it is just too annoying to find..." Well, luck also played a big part in this search, and you could say Karev was quite bad at it.

Karev then left the Drumfel Caves a few days later, coming into the range of the Werdlem Empire Network. He took out his CD and quickly input Roan's number. Back at the border between Maindun and Rusbav Countries, the twins and Kentucky were still in the Dimensional Realm, cultivating. In the end, Rean didn't return to the Gondel Clan to share his finds about the Sword Intent. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that Roan asked him to give it some time.

No doubt Kuslau would be under vigilance, so going there staight away might have caused more trouble. That said, Rean decided that he would only go back to the Gondel Clan once Karev returned.

It was during one of these waiting days that Roan's CD received the call. Sister Orb allowed for the Werdlem Empire Network signal to enter the Dimensional Realm all this while but only spread near Rean and Roan's CDs.

By Roan's side, a very sad bird was sitting in the middle of many Spiritual Stones, absorbing their energy nonstop. He couldn't look any more bored. "Can you kill me already?"

Roan glanced at him. "I can grant that wish."

"Forget it..." Kentucky didn't doubt Roan would try that.

Then, Roan returned his attention to his CD. "Oh... Karev, it is you. How was it?"

-I got your roots, and I'm on my way back to Rusbav. Can we meet?-

Roan nodded and got up. "Sure. I will meet you. Should it be in the capital?"

"No," Karev didn't want it there. "Just tell me which is the nearest city, and I will meet you there."
