Death… And Me

Chapter 778 - Another Question

After Darian was finished talking, Phex then asked the next obvious question. ”So, what happened inside the dimensional realm of the Spiritual Energy Fieldʼs core?”

Rean nodded in response and began to explain the events that passed inside that place. Sure enough, Darian and Phex were surprised that there really was another Divine Demon Beast in the world that they didnʼt know about. They were even more surprised after hearing how they prevented the core from being destroyed.

”Thatʼs quite the story,” Phex could not help but say as he looked at the twins. ”I wouldnʼt have thought about using the blood spilled during the battle to fix it. Well, I would probably kill him right after the battle was over, though. Anyway, whereʼs the Golden Drohare?”

Rean smiled in response, saying, ”Roan and I will take care of him. Thereʼs no need for senior Phex to worry.”

Phex and Darian were taken aback. ”What?! Thereʼs no way we would let him go after almost destroying our Spiritual Energy Field. Do you have any idea how bad things would have turned out if he had succeeded? I want nothing more than to skin him alive right now.”

Roan nodded, responding, ”Thatʼs exactly why we wonʼt give him to you. We donʼt want him dead. Instead, weʼll change his allegiance so that he wonʼt try something like that again.”

Darian and Phex then walked in front of Rean with dark faces. ”We still wonʼt allow you to bring him away.” They even exerted some pressure, making sure that the twins understood their words.

However, it didnʼt have the scary effect that they expected. Instead, Rean put his arm around Darian and Phexʼs should in response. ”Oh-ho...so, youʼre saying that you wonʼt accept this little request of ours, huh? How could the Divine Demon Beasts be so ungrateful? They were about to lose the Spiritual Energy Field, have the Zasfins attack, and the war turned against them. However, the great me and Roan prevented such a calamity from happening. Now, instead of thanking us, we are being threatened. Such a disappointment, such a disappointment...”

Phex and Darianʼs mouths twitched in response to Reanʼs words as their expressions turned even uglier.

Kentucky then came to the twinsʼ side as he said in response, ”How can you say that, Rean? Senior Darian and Phex are obviously very grateful that you two saved the Demon Beast Alliance! Iʼm sure theyʼll accept this request of yours.” Kentucky then looked at Darian and Phex before saying, ”Am I right, seniors? Such great figures like you two couldnʼt possibly treat my friendsʼ achievement that lightly.”

If it was only Rean and Roan, Phex would probably give them a beating before taking Red from there. He wouldnʼt kill or cripple them, but he sure wouldnʼt leave it as it is. However, he truly didnʼt want to get on the bad side of the Minokawa. Not to mention that Rean and Kentuckyʼs words really hurt his pride.

Darian was also displeased by that. Nevertheless, he couldnʼt find an excuse to ignore Rean and Roanʼs achievement. Itʼs just that he didnʼt want to simply swallow it either. As he thought like that, an idea popped into his mind. ”Alright! Phex and I will leave you with the Golden Drohare. However, you wonʼt get any Merit Points. After you saved our Spiritual Energy Field, I could have given you not only a few hundred but a few thousand of them. Sadly, you two thought that the Golden Drohare is more important for you.” Of course, he told Phex what he was trying to do through a Spiritual Sense Message, so Phex didnʼt say anything.

At the same time, Darian laughed in his mind. ʼHahaha! Let me see your reactions! Can you ignore several thousand Merit Points? Iʼm sure youʼre thinking about just how many things you can exchange for this amount. Go on, give me the Golden Drohare back.ʼ

Unfortunately for him, Rean, Roan, and Kentuckyʼs expressions didnʼt even flinch as Rean replied indifferently, ”So, we get no Merit Points? Oh well, so be it. Now then, this topic is over. The Golden Drohare will stay under our care from now on.”

Darian almost vomited blood after hearing their response! ʼThe hell? Do you even know what you could use all these Merit Points for? Thereʼs no lack of natural treasures in the reward list at all! How can you give it up so easily?!ʼ

Phex had exactly the same thought in his mind. ʼIt doesnʼt make sense. Are they perhaps thinking of putting a slave collar on the Golden Drohare?ʼ

Little did they know that the majority of things available there werenʼt of much help for the twins. Weapons? Rean could make them, and even better ones at that. Herbs and pills? Roan could make those as well. Another airship? They had no need for that. First of all, the airship was a thing they got for the Freedom Sect, not for themselves. There were, of course, many other treasures that Rean or Roan could make use of. However, they considered Red more important at the moment.

”Ahem...are you sure you prefer to keep the Golden Drohare? You might take many years to accumulate the same number of Merit Points again,” Phex asked once more, wanting to make sure.

Rean, Roan, and Kentucky nodded almost instantly. ”Yes, weʼll keep Red with us. Seniors donʼt need to worry. Weʼll make sure he wonʼt try such a thing again. After all, he was simply deceived.”

Phex and Darian truly didnʼt want it. Red would be a very good contribution even if they used him only for his Divine Demon Beast blood. However, their pride simply didnʼt allow them to go back on their words either. They would probably die before doing that. ”Fine! But if I find out that this Golden Drohare causes more problems to the Demon Beast Alliance, youʼll be responsible for that.”

Reanʼs group nodded as Rean responded, ”Yes, Senior Phex, Senior Darian.”

With that out of the way, Kentucky took the chance to ask something else. ”By the way, Senior Phex, didnʼt you say Gulan was helping with the same kind of job? Isnʼt it possible that the other Spiritual Energy Fields are in danger as well?”

Phex was taken aback for a moment as he also noticed something weird. ”Now that you say that, the other Divine Demon Beasts should have arrived already after this long.”

As soon as Phex said that, a Spiritual Sense passed over everyone in the palace. It immediately made Phex, Darian, and the twins look in the same direction. ”Here they come.”

Phex and Darian looked at the twins right after. ”Oh, right! You two. How were you able to tell that the Stage Nine Demon Beasts were coming?” Sure enough, that was another question they were very interested in.
