Death… And Me

Chapter 1042 - Now, Here We Are

Ludio looked at the Clan Leader, who nodded at him. ʼIf there is any problem, just call us back.ʼ

With that, he then called Rean over to a private room, where they could talk to each other. Of course, Rean used his Divine Sense bending skill to make sure that no one was watching them.

With all of those preparations done, Ludio asked Rean, ”So, what is it that you want to talk to me?”

Rean shook his head in response, telling him, ”I donʼt want to talk to you, to be honest.”

”What?!” Ludio was taken aback. ”You arenʼt making any sense, you know?”

Rean laughed in response as he approached a corner of the room. There, he could see the faint flickers of light due to the fairy that always followed Ludio. ”I want to talk with her... or him. Oh well, I canʼt tell whether itʼs female or male.” Rean then extended his hand over. ”Hello there, fairy. As you probably know, Iʼm Rean. I would like to talk with you a bit.”

Ludioʼs expression went pale after hearing that. He had never expected that Rean could see his fairy.

Of course, Ludioʼs fairy was as shocked as Ludio himself. However, seeing Rean looking directly at it and even extending his hand over to it, it was obvious that Rean could see it. Though, just to make sure, it took off and headed to another corner of the room. Of course, Reanʼs eyes followed the fairy. With that, the fairy confirmed that it wasnʼt a coincidence and began to talk. ”You...you can really see me! Howʼs that possible? I canʼt detect any treasure on you that can detect our race, nor are you even close to the cultivation level necessary to do it on your own.”

Rean nodded in response as he told the fairy, ”I indeed donʼt have the cultivation necessary to see you. This is also the reason why I canʼt tell whether youʼre male or female. Well, after hearing your voice, itʼs obvious that youʼre a female, though. Anyways, I donʼt have the cultivation to see you normally, but I can tell where you are with my power alone.”

The fairy understood that Rean couldnʼt see its form perfectly, so it eventually appeared on its own. ”What kind of power could allow you to see me, even if partially?”

Rean then raised his hand and gathered Light Element in his hand, explaining to her, ”You should have noticed my odd element in the competitions, right? Iʼm sensitive to the Light Element. For some reason, every time you move, Light Element kind of reacts to you, showing your form a little. I wonder if fairies have some affinity with the Light Element as well.”

”I see...” The fairy finally understood the issue. ”Well, youʼre the first human Iʼve ever seen with Light Element Affinity. I guess it makes sense since fairies really do have some affinity with the Light Element.”

The fairy then looked at Rean before saying, ”Alright, since you can see us, thereʼs no pointing in dragging it further. Iʼm Sienna Crystalhill, a member of the fairy race, obviously. I say, Rean, you should keep quiet about the fact that Iʼm here, understood?”

Rean nodded, telling her, ”I have no intention of starting a feud with you or the fairy race. I just wanted to confirm if what I was seeing was really a fairy or not. After all, your race shouldnʼt be easily seen.”

Sienna was happy to hear that. ”Good! Now then, what did you come here to talk with me for? You said that you wanted to confirm whether I was really a fairy or not. Why?”

Rean shook his head in response after that. ”That was more or less it. I just wanted to make sure that what I was seeing was a fairy or not. However, since you mentioned it, I might as well ask something else out of curiosity. Is it true that the fairy queen gave Ludio her blessing? Otherwise, I donʼt see why you would be following him since the Yotes already have some luck of their own. Of course, if this is some important secret, you donʼt need to answer.”

Sienna then looked at Ludio, who nodded his head. He then began to explain, ”To be honest, I obtained the fairy queenʼs blessing by chance. Sienna was then sent to me later as part of the blessing.”

”Is it fine with you, Sienna?” Rean asked, looking at the fairy.

Sienna nodded. ”Of course. For us fairies, our queensʼ orders are absolute. Since she gave her blessing to Ludio, it is my duty to follow him and help out with his karma. Besides, itʼs not like I donʼt gain anything from it. Because of the blessing, Ludio has a karma connection to our fairy queen. I can use this connection for my own benefit. In fact, there was quite an argument to see who would take this opportunity. Many of my race members wanted to come, but I was chosen.”

”Oh...” Rean was surprised to hear that. ”Then, how did Ludio get this blessing? Of course, once again, you donʼt need to tell me if you donʼt want to.”

Ludio shrugged his shoulders in response. ”Donʼt worry. Since Sienna already told you so much, it shouldnʼt be a problem to tell the rest. Itʼs not like you can do anything with this information either.” Ludio then continued, ”I kind of saved the fairy queen, I guess? The fairy queen had been seriously hurt for some reason she didnʼt want to discuss. When I was traveling outside on my own to train, I bumped into her in the Tuk Forest on the west. She was so weak that she couldnʼt even keep her natural concealment ability active.”

Ludio then sighed, continuing to narrate. ”I had never seen a fairy before, so I was quite surprised, thinking it was a demon beast. Obviously, she wasnʼt. Some things happened, but I ended up spending a few days healing her until she could at least move on her own again. In the end, she gave me her blessing and told me she would send someone to help me with my luck in the future.. And now, here we are.”
