Death… And Me

Chapter 111 - Puppy

Of course, Rean and Roan didnʼt know where Agisʼs group was. However, they did know that Stage Three Demon Beasts were in the core region of this Private Demon Forest. All they had to do was to open the map and check which group was the furthest into the there.

A good thing is that Roanʼs group was following in the tracks of Agisʼs one. That being said, the places they were passing by had already been partially cleaned out. There had a small number of demon beasts remaining. That allowed them to catch up with Agis and the others faster.

On Agisʼs group side, they finally reached the border between the Inner and Core Regions.

”Alright, we will begin to look for targets around here.”

However, as he looked behind him, he could see that his group was exhausted already. As mentioned before, the further inside they went, the stronger the Demon Beasts became. Thanks to that, they had little power to move at the moment.

Agis couldnʼt help but get angry again. Still, there was nothing he could do since their cultivations are entirely different. The only one who seemed to be okay was Loki since he is in the Foundation Establishment as well. In the end, Agis decided to look around to see if there wasnʼt any Demon Beast he could fight in the meantime.

Agis stayed away for quite a few minutes, which at least allowed the kids to catch their breath once more. However, it didnʼt take long for Loki and the other kids to see Agis running at them at full speed.

*Howl!*

”Get up, you all! Itʼs not time to rest!

Sure enough, the Soul Gem System wasnʼt wrong. There were really Inferno Wolves close to the position where Agisʼs group was located.

Agis came running while three Fiery Red wolves followed him. All three of them were at the Stage Two Level. Not only that, a little bit behind, there was also a big pack with over ten Stage One Inferno Wolves. Be it Loki or the other kids, their face immediately got pale when they saw that.

That was too hard for the kids to manage, so they quickly panicked. However, Loki promptly took control of the situation.

”Agis and I will hold the Stage Two Inferno Wolves, you guy do your best to defend against the Stage One pack. Gather together and protect each otherʼs back. Wolves like to attack those alone, so make sure to not separate. Do that, and we might have a chance.”

With a voice of command, the kids quickly formed a circle and waited. Agis and Loki used their higher strength to catch the Stage Two Demon Wolvesʼ attention, bringing them away from the Energy Gathering Realm kids.

However, they are far into the forest, so those three Stage Two wolves were a lot stronger than Demon Beasts back in the middle of the Inner Region.

The battle soon started. Agis and Loki had to give their all just to bring their side to a standstill. As for the Energy Gathering Realm kids, they were able to hold the advantage thanks to Lokiʼs orders. The wolves were looking for an opening, but those kids were not let them in. They were even able to injure some of them.

”Good, keep like that. Once enough wolves have been defeated, the Stage Two ones will feel threatened.”

That was his plan. As long as their numbers were higher, perhaps these Stage Two wolves would retreat.

However, it was only the start.

*Howl!*

Agis and Loki paled when they heard that. It was a lot louder than any of the Stage Two Inferno Wolves. As they looked in the direction of the sound, they could see a wolf much bigger than the Stage Two ones. That beast was at least double the size. There is no doubt. That was a Stage Three Inferno Wolf and also the alfa of this pack. Together with it, there were another twelve wolves, all of them at Stage Two level!

The Alfa Wolf howled once more, and those extra wolves began to rush at them. But the big guy didnʼt do so, it only kept looking from the distance as its subordinates did the job for it.

Agis and Loki couldnʼt help but think about running away. It reached a level where they simply couldnʼt fight anymore.

However, it was at this moment that they heard someone cursing from behind.

”Fuck those fools! Just how did they attract so many of these dogs.”

”No point in complaining now. Just get rid of the small ones before dealing with the big guy.”

”That is not a guy, idiot. Thatʼs a female wolf.”

”Who the hell cares which gender it is? We need to deal with it anyway.”

Obviously, it was Rean and Roan. Right behind them, Malaka, Julio, and Lenna followed. However, those three got quite afraid when they saw that enormous wolf at the back. It was evident that they wouldnʼt be able to do anything against that.

Roan looked at Malaka and the others and quickly gave his order.

”Malaka, Julio, Lenna, help the Energy Gathering Realm Kids. Use everything you learned and protect them. Make sure you donʼt let them die.”

”Rean, letʼs get rid of the pack that is advancing ahead.”

”The Red Color Aptitude donkey over there, make sure to hold these stage two Wolves properly.”

Agis felt like cursing Roan. Unfortunately, the three Stage Two Inferno Wolves didnʼt give him any time for it.

Rean and Roan then separated and got a few meters away from each other. They dashed straight at the wolves coming at them as if they wanted to crash head-on.

At this moment, all the Inner Elders, Core Elders, and quite a few relatives to these kids were watching this battle.

”Are they planning to suicide? The majority of those wolves in the front are Stage Two!”

”I donʼt think so, but I donʼt know how those twins will deal against so many Stage Two wolves.”

On Alandaʼs side, he already had an idea of how it would play.

ʼYou only have one chance. After you show your abilities, the wolves will be a lot more careful.ʼ

Back to Rean and Roan, their hair began to change color, becoming a mix of Black and White. This time, they didnʼt try to hide the power of Reanʼs Swords either.

Suddenly, Rean and Roan approached each other once more and switched sides. Itʼs just that they didnʼt go far away from each other this time. By doing this movement, the wolves ahead tried to follow their targets and packed together without noticing.

Spiritual Energy accumulated on their swords as Light Element rushed inside at crazy speeds. But because of the layer of Dark Element on the around of the swords, it didnʼt look too bright.

By the moment the two sides were just 50 meters away from each other, The twins used Reanʼs Light Element on their legs. That made their speed soar, quickly catching the wolves by surprise.

*Howl!*

The instincts of the Alfa Wolf on the back told it that something was wrong. As a Stage Three demon beast, its intelligence was much higher than its subordinates. That howl was given so that the wolves rushing against Rean and Roan would spread and try to avoid those two kids.

However, the warning came too late. With the Light Element supporting the Twinʼs speed, those wolves didnʼt even have the time to understand the meaning of the Alfa Wolfʼs howl.

ʼDeath Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!ʼ

Rean and Roanʼs crossed their swords together before deferring a double wave of Light and Darkness energy forward. Due to their movement speed, the crescent slash arrived in front of those Stage Two Inferno Wolfs in a split of a second. The area of effect was also tens of meters wide, which didnʼt give any space for the wolves to dodge.

The Inferno Wolves simply had no chance to dodge at all. Light Element passed as Dark Element corrupted everything around. The next thing they knew, that Black and White wave of energy passed through their body as if they were made of paper!

What remained a pack of Stage Two Inferno Wolves cleaved in half! The wave of Light and Dark Elements continued forward for a few more meters before it finally disappeared.

The truth is that Rean and Roan didnʼt have enough Spiritual Energy to send such a big wave. Thatʼs why they crossed their swords before using the attack. Their Spiritual Energy fuelled each other, creating this much bigger area of effect. Something that would be impossible for them to do alone. At least, not until their cultivation goes up a few stages.

This kind of combination wasnʼt something that anyone could do. It was only because of the Link between their souls and elements that they achieved this result.

Back on the base, all the elders looked at the twins as if they were seeing two ghosts!

”This...”

”Where the hell did those two come from?”

Hulian, on the other hand, couldnʼt help but feel excited! Especially after seeing the expression of all the other Inner Sect elders.

ʼThose two are already part of MY FACTION! Do you regret letting them go? Too bad, this grandfather doesnʼt give a damn! Hahaha!ʼ

However, the battle wasnʼt over yet. Rean and Roan didnʼt even wait for the Inferno Wolvesʼ corpses to hit the ground before they passed by them like a ray of black and white light! Their target was obvious, the big boss right behind these wolves.

The Alfa Wolf got enraged after seeing that. But just as it was about to pounce at Rean and Roan, something weird happened.

Boom!

Rean and Roan smashed the ground in front of them!

Dust and dirt flew tens of meters in the air, quickly covering their presence.

However, the elders back on the base didnʼt understand. Thatʼs because Rean and Roan had done that far behind. They were still too far away from the Alfa Inferno Wolf. If their intention was to distract the Alfa Wolf, then they played it way too poorly. They should have waited for when the Alfa Wolf was close so that it would be engulfed by the dust and dirt as well.

The Alfa Wolf kept looking at the place where Rean and Roan attacked the ground, making sure to look at the sides of the area to see if they wouldnʼt appear there. However, both the twins were nowhere to be seen. Still, its instincts told the Alfa Wolf that something was definitely wrong. It felt like it was in extreme danger even though it couldnʼt understand why.

Suddenly, it heard a voice entering its ears.

”Bye, bye, puppy!”
