Death… And Me

Chapter 1048 - Investment

The Rascol tried to get up, but Roan pinned it to the ground with his feet. At the same time, Dark Element entered the birdʼs body, making it feel extreme pain. He then looked at the birdʼs eyes before telling it, ”See if I donʼt take your life if you cause more chaos.”

The bird didnʼt have sentience, but its most primitive instincts told the Demon Bird that it should absolutely not anger that foe. Once Roan took his feet off the Demon Bird, it didnʼt even dare to move. Not because it was seriously injured, but because it was too afraid to do so.

Rean sighed as he moved forward and told Roan, ”You could have been a little more gentle, you know?”

”Hmph!” Roan snorted in response. ”I donʼt want to create another perverted bird.”

Somewhere in Lukimira Sect, a certain Minokawa sniffed.

Rean then touched the birdʼs body with a smile before a burst of Light Element began to enter its body.

ʼLife Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!ʼ

The bird couldnʼt help but cry in delight. Light Element just felt way too good, especially after it had experienced what Dark Element could do. The birdsʼ bones quickly mended as the injuries closed. Roanʼs Dark Element was also purged from there. Once Rean was finally done, the Rascol looked at him as if it was its savior.

*Creee, creee!*

It then rubbed its enormous head against Rean, showing quite the passion. At the same time, it tried to not look at Roan.

”Hahaha!” Rean laughed out loud after seeing how the Rascol moved. ”Alright, alright. He wonʼt beat you up anymore. However, you have to do as we say, okay?”

Fylson and Litian both had their mouths agape, especially Fylson. He had been trying to get the birdʼs trust for so, so long. Out of nowhere, two guys who had never tried to tame a demon beast did it in just a few minutes. How could he not be shocked? ”Impossible! They must be cheating! No, perhaps the bird is pretending! Yes, it must be one of the two!”

Rean heard it from inside the protection formation, so he told Fylson, ”Thatʼs not it. I just saw you using your Divine Energy to envelope the Golden Rascol gently. So, while I was healing it, I did the same thing. The difference is that I made it feel so good that all doubts disappeared from its mind.”

Roan glanced at Rean, telling him, ”You do know that it was its fear for me that made this method work quickly, right?”

Rean nodded in response. ”I know. Extreme fear and salvation. At the same time, enveloping it with my Divine Energy and Light Element while healing its injuries. The combination of the three processes was what made me get its trust so easily.”

Rean then looked at Litian and Fylson and continued, ”Well, there are two more big reasons.”

”What is it?” Fylson and Litian obviously became curious.

”First, the cultivation difference. If this Demon Bird was at the same level as us, Stage Six, then it wouldnʼt be this easy. That was the part where Litian told us to show that we are far stronger. Well, Roan was mostly responsible for that.”

Rean added, ”The second reason is its lack of sentience. Itʼs just following its instincts, which is saying that it can be safe as long as it stays with me. My brotherʼs Dark Element definitely made it experience the greatest fear of its life. Iʼm its last bastion...or something like that?”

There was another reason Rean didnʼt say. The fact that one had to have an affinity to Light Element. Simply using Yang Energy to control Light Element wouldnʼt get even close to the result he got.

It was then that Litian noticed something. ”Wait! Light and Dark Element?! Are you perhaps...”

Rean then raised his hands as he told Litian, ”Stop right there. We donʼt want to catch too much attention.”

Litian and Fylsonʼs mouths twitched in response. Not catch much attention? You just tamed an extremely annoying Demon Bird at Stage Five in a single try! Is there any other way to get more attention in the Demon Beast Taming Guild than that?!

Sure enough, Litian and Fylson werenʼt the only ones watching. This was the Demon Beast Taming Guild. Naturally, it had a lot of them walking around. Now that Rean and Roan tamed the Golden Rascol in a single try, it naturally raised an uproar in the surroundings as the word spread. It didnʼt take long for everyone to understand who those two guys were due to their Dark and Light Element, either.

”They look very different...”

”But itʼs the Dark and Light Element. It has to be them, right?”

”Considering what they did in the assembly, Iʼm not surprised they can do such a thing here either.”

”Does that mean Dark and Light Elements can be used to tame demon beasts straight away?”

”Does it matter? Itʼs not like any of us can use those elements.”

”We can still try to use Yin and Yang Energy to do what they did.”

Seeing that it was useless to hide much longer, Rean and Roan decided to leave straight away. They already got the Demon Bird, so that was enough. However, they were barred from doing so.

”Wait right there!”

Suddenly, another elder of the guild appeared there.

The twins looked at him with confusion as Rean asked him, ”Is there a problem?”

The elder nodded. ”Of course, there is! You canʼt leave like that after what youʼve done. Come with me.”

Rean and Roan looked at each other before doing as the elder said. After all, this was the Demon Beast Taming Guild. They couldnʼt just do as they pleased. As for the Golden Rascol, Rean left it there as he knew it wouldnʼt try to escape anywhere.

A few minutes later, Rean and Roan returned. However, there was a difference now. Their badges...had five stars on them! ”So thatʼs what it was all about. Since they tamed a Stage Five Demon Beast, they became Five Star Demon Beast Tamers.”

The elder who upgraded their badges also added, ”You can use this badge in all Demon Beast Taming Guilds. It also has some good perks, like borrowing demon beasts, getting better deals, no fees for entering cities, and so on. Make sure you donʼt lose them.”

The twins nodded before they jumped on the Golden Rascolʼs back. With that, they took off under the eyes of all the tamers there, most of them looking at the two with envy.

Fylson, especially, felt quite distraught. ”So much work and 500 Divine Stones, gone, just like that.”

Litian patted his shoulder in consolation. ”Donʼt forget who those two brothers are. Theyʼre not simple.”

Fylson nodded. ”I guess youʼre right.” Soon after, he changed his mind. ”Forget it. Iʼll try to tame a Stage Five Demon Beast in their territory. That will serve much more than trying to tame confined ones.”

Fylson then left as the crowd dispersed. Litian, on the other hand, couldnʼt help but ask the elder, ”They had to use both their abilities to tame that demon beast. Is it really okay to promote them to Five Star Beast Tamers?”

The elder nodded as he told Litian, ”Think about the future. If they can do that already, how much better will they fare in the future as their cultivation rises? For the Beast Taming Guild, this is an investment.”

Hearing that, Litian didnʼt say anything else.
