Death… And Me

Chapter 3740: Took Long Enough

Finally, Roan returned to the Dimensional Realm, leaving only Rean and Kentucky behind. No doubt they had many more things to talk about, but Roan simply wasn’t interested. Rean... well, that guy definitely would find it interesting. You could also say Rean stayed to ensure Kentucky wouldn’t say anything he shouldn’t either.

Inside the Dimensional Realm, Foliana was bored. Because this place had no connection with the Werdlem Network, she couldn’t do her research on the history of this Universe. "Hey, Zangeshu, wanna train a little?"

Zangeshu was concentrated on his runes with Tanxan, not paying much attention to her. "Do I look like I want to stop?"

"But you have to at least do something to not have a backlash of your cultivation technique, right? I’m the one who helped Rean and Roan learn the Red Lightning. You sure would benefit from it, too." She still insisted.

Tanxan stopped what he was doing for a moment. "That’s a good call. Go move your body a little and leave this part with me. It will take a few days anyway until these runes stabilize. I can keep an eye on them. For you, who loves efficiency, this is the perfect time to go out and get your training schedule up to date."

Zangeshu pondered a bit, nodding. "Very well." He left the runes in Tanxan’s care, walking out of the workshop. "Let’s see if I can improve my sword skills. It should suffice."

"Great!" Foliana was happy to have something to do.

However, Roan appeared at that moment. "I might as well check your development. You two, come with me. You can attack at the same time. Don’t hold back."

Foliana and Zangeshu took a step back. Roan was the one who definitely didn’t know the meaning of holding back.

Too bad Roan would never let them go. "You better come fast, or I will not hold back."

Foliana and Zangeshu’s mouths twitched. Was he holding back the other times? Of course, they definitely didn’t want to find out. They gritted their teeth and followed Roan. This was going to be a pretty miserable day for them.

Outside the floating land, back in the Divine Realm, Wergal had some of his Black Cetus Race check the Great Void Shifter Formation that could be found in an ocean of the Demon Beasts Territory. In fact, this one was very close. At the same time, he sent other races to check the other two Formations in other locations. With that done, he took out his CD and contacted some other Demon Beasts.

The conversation only lasted a few moments, and the CD was already back inside Wergal’s Pocket Dimensional Realm. From there, he just waited until his subordinates returned with the news.

"Sure enough, the underwater formation is the one in the worst state. However..." Wergal narrowed his eyes and checked the information regarding the other two. For a moment, his mind went back to when he talked to Ploto and Ratria. "I wonder what this is about."

Kentucky spent quite a good time with his parents and brother, and they even had the chance to eat some high-level ores. Obviously, that was the first time they did it together. Rean didn’t join them, of course.

A few hours into the next day, Wergal returned, bringing with him the information Rean requested. "Of the three, the best one would definitely be in the Huapu Ocean in the Huapu Continent."

Ploto knew that one. "Huapu continent? That is pretty close. I believe your race’s home isn’t far either, right? You don’t need a teleport at all. How come I didn’t know about that formation?"

"What else?" Wergal brushed that aside. "Since it has been out of commission for so long, its existence so far is pretty meaningless. There was a Demon Beast City nearby many millions of years ago, but that city has long since been abandoned. No more than a few ruins remain. It would be weird if you knew about that formation after most forgot it even existed."

"Guess you are right," Ploto nodded. "Since you are already here, how are the attacks going? The Humanoids and Spirits were attacking us together, right?"

Wergal confirmed. "They are, but they didn’t manage to make much progress. The further into our territories they went, the more we made use of the terrain advantage. We likely won’t be able to recover the territories that fell, but it isn’t much more than a dent in the overall scheme of things. We can let those bits and pieces of land go."

"Good." Ploto was happy to hear that. "Anyway, you heard him, Rean. The formation is inside the ocean. Is that okay?"

Rean didn’t mind. "As long as the formation is there, I will be able to analyze its runes closely."

"Do you need me for that?" Kentucky asked. "I know nothing about formations."

"Not really," Rean shook his head in response. "It will be a length work, so you can just stay here and have more time with your parents. Look how happy your little brother is to be near you."

Frife-Ni wondered if Rean was blind. He and Kentucky bickered nonstop all this time. "I won’t bother retorting, lest my IQ goes down."

"Hahaha!" Rean didn’t hate the guy. "Anyway, I’m going there."

"What about your brother?" Wergal asked, not seeing Roan anywhere.

"He is inside my Pocket Dimensional Realm," Rean explained. "He would rather spend time alone than hear all this."

"That’s definitely Roan for you." Kentucky was used to it already.

Wergal didn’t mind. "If you say so... Well, let’s not waste time. Come with me."

Inside the Dimensional Realm, Roan had only one of his Intent Scythes in his hand, seemingly irritated. Yes, just the normal Intent Scythe. He hasn’t used the Elemental Intent Weapons at all. "To think you two couldn’t even force me to use more than a single weapon. You are a disgrace! I will revise your training schedule later. You’d better improve fast. Last thing I need is for you idiots to die in some random corner and cause me trouble."

Zangeshu and Foliana wanted to cry already. It wasn’t fair. Roan was a monster. If it were any other expert at their level, they definitely could have held their own. In fact, they most likely would win!

"What with the wronged faces? Do you have anything to say?" Roan asked with a cold tone.

"N-No! Nothing at all, senior Roan!" Foliana quickly answered.

’I say, I think we are at a greater risk under his wing than venturing some forbidden regions outside,’ Tony, Foliana’s Divine Werdlem Stone’s Artifact Spirit, commented. Of course, only Foliana heard. He wasn’t idiot enough to let Roan hear that.

Foliana couldn’t agree more, but she also didn’t tell Roan as she didn’t want to die.

Then, Roan looked away, his vision noticing Rean’s movement. "Just in time. Let’s see what they have in their pockets." At the same time, he contacted Celis. ’We might need you.’
