Death… And Me

Chapter 1052 - No Doubt

With that, Rean looked back at the pursuers and wondered as he said to Roan, ”Do you think their flying demon beast is stronger than ours?”

Roan tried to check it from afar, but it was really hard to tell. They were just too far away. ”Iʼm not sure.”

However, Eminia immediately answered, ”Thatʼs a Vask Eagle, a Demon Beast quite common in our territory. Most of them reach Stage Five or Six once they reach adulthood.” Of course, they could cultivate further, but Stage Five or Six was more or less guaranteed. ”Although it is very far, I can at least tell the color of its feathers more or less. Itʼs definitely not a Stage Seven. The Vask Eagleʼs feathers change as their cultivation grow.”

Rean nodded, quite satisfied with the answer. ”Thatʼs enough for me.” He then touched the Golden Rascolʼs back before using his skill.

ʼLife Style, First Form, Enhancement!ʼ

Light Element gathered and burst into the Golden Rascol, quickly increasing its body strength by a lot. In the Realm of Gods, where flying wasnʼt possible before the Transition Realm, the birdʼs body strength meant everything in flight. Since Rean could increase it, then the result was pretty obvious.

*Creeeee!*

The Golden Rascol felt amazingly well as it followed Reanʼs command to increase its flight speed. Its speed increased by more than 50% in just a moment, and it could go even faster if Rean wished so. However, Rean didnʼt want to spend too much Divine Soul Power, so he kept the boost to this level.

”This...” Eminia and Fatax were taken aback. They could totally tell that the Golden Rascol was still a Late Stage Five Demon Beast. However, it was definitely flying as fast as a late or maybe even a Peak Stage Six Demon Bird! ”What kind of skill is that?”

Rean smiled in response as he told them, ”Donʼt misunderstand. It doesnʼt mean that the Rascol can fight at the Peak Stage Six Level. At most, it would only match one at Initial Stage Six with this skill of mine. However, since itʼs all about muscle strength when it comes to flight at our cultivation level, the result is much better.”

Rean and Roan knew that Kentucky could use Reanʼs Enhancement skill to fly as fast as Stage Eight Demon Birds when it came to flight alone. With that, one could tell just how much those that lacked the ability of flight were lacking in terms of understanding those with the natural ability to fly. After all, the speed of flight depended on body strength, which was a huge advantage if one had something like Reanʼs Enhancement skill.

”Still, you havenʼt told me what kind of skill it is. Iʼve seen body enhancement skills before, but yours far surpasses anything Iʼve seen in my life.” Obviously, Eminia and Fatax were still curious.

”Hahaha! Letʼs just say itʼs my little secret,” Rean answered.

Far in the back, the pursers had been following Reanʼs group and were waiting for the moment to catch up to them. There were three of them, all having cultivations at the Saint Realm. Two were in the Late Stage, while one was at the Peak Stage. They had only flown a little more than a hundred kilometers from the city, so they thought they were too close. They wanted to wait until they were further away. However...

”What?!” It was then that they saw their targetʼs speed increase by a lot. ”Wasnʼt that Golden Rascol just a Stage Five Demon Beast? How the hell is it flying that fast? Quick, make the Vask Eagle fly faster!”

*Creee!*

They immediately issued the order, and the eagle flapped its wings even faster. However, the most they could do was match the Golden Rascolʼs speed as it was a Stage Six Vask Eagle. It didnʼt have Reanʼs Enhancement skill to help either.

One of the pursuers then asked, ”Raco, what about the others?”

”We positioned them before the demon beast territory, just in case. We can ask them to block Eminiaʼs group,” the person named Raco replied. ”As for the rest, we can have them move into the demon beast territory ahead of time as well. If they avoid our group at the entrance, we can have the others look for them inside.”

”Do it! I donʼt want to follow them into the forest.”

Back on Reanʼs side, Fatax seemed quite nervous. ”Theyʼre still following us. Canʼt you make the Golden Rascol go faster?”

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. ”Nah, this speed is fine.” First of all, Rean could use his Light and Divine Sense bending skill to completely hide them. Since the pursuers were so far in the back, they wouldnʼt be able to tell where they were at all. The fact that he didnʼt do so was because Rean and Roan didnʼt want to. Just like the pursuers, they wanted to get further away from the city as well.

Eminia, of course, was a lot more composed. ”Enough, Fatax. The fact we can keep our distance is already good enough. Once we enter the demon beast territory, we can use it to our advantage to escape.”

”Escaped?” Rean looked at her with a smile. ”Who says weʼre trying to escape?”

”You are not?” Fatax was even more surprised now.

”Hahaha!” Rean couldnʼt help but laugh out loud. ”If I wanted to escape, we would have done so a long time ago. Escaping is extremely easy.”

Roan shook his head. ”No can do. I want to know more about our friends back there.”

Eminia and Fatax didnʼt know how to react to the two of them. ”This...” It was hard to tell whether they were telling the truth or not. However, Eminia quickly made up her mind. ”If you help us escape right now, Iʼll increase the payment to 2000 Divine Stones.”

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he told them, ”Itʼs fine, itʼs fine. Divine Stones are hard to come by, you know? You should save them when you can.”

Even an idiot could tell that Rean and Roan didnʼt seem to care about Divine Stones at all. ”Just what do you two want to do?”

Roan glanced at her for a moment before saying, ”Find the truth. If you canʼt tell, Iʼm pretty sure they can tell you when Iʼm finished.”

Even Eminia got a chill on her back.. For some reason, she didnʼt doubt Roanʼs words.
