Death… And Me

Chapter 1070 - Letʼs Get Going

”Hmm...they didnʼt go far, nor does it look they were in a hurry.” Rean followed their tracks until he reached the base of the mountain. There, the trail began to skirt around it as he followed the clues. Eventually, he came across a cave entrance. ”Seems like they went inside.”

Rean kept his Divine Sense and Soul Power Scan spread as he moved through the cave. Naturally, one would never know whether it could be a trap or not. ʼSister Orb, if you detect any formation, let me know.ʼ

[On it. There doesnʼt seem to be anything as far as my detection range goes, though.]

Rean nodded, knowing how precise Sister Orbʼs detection was. She might take a very long time to analyze a high-level formation. But if it was just detecting one, then he had never seen her fail.

Rean also kept his Light and Divine Sense bending skill active, just in case. He didnʼt have to walk for much longer, though. After twenty minutes or so, he began to hear two people talking to each other.

”Hahaha! So thatʼs what Naile did, huh? Heʼs such a figure.”

”Hehe. Well, thatʼs Naile for you. He would be happy if he could see you right now, you know?”

”Itʼs fine. This is something I decided on myself. Besides, Iʼll obtain a huge reward when itʼs over.”

Rean could see that it was Fatax and Langara talking to each other. However, he couldnʼt help but feel that Langara seemed somewhat different.

Fataxʼs eyes narrowed as he became pensive. ”Sister, things are not so simple anymore, you know? While you were sleeping, many things happened.”

Rean was surprised to hear that. ʼSister? I see...thatʼs not Langara, but the soul of the ownerʼs body, Eminia. So Langara can allow the ownerʼs body to take over...or perhaps she has to do it periodically.ʼ

Eminia patted her brotherʼs shoulders as she said in response, ”Itʼs fine. I trust Matriarch Langara will find a solution for it. Iʼm just happy that she allowed you to follow her because of me. That little already shows a lot about Matriarchʼs character.”

Suddenly, Eminia touched her head, feeling some pain.

”Is matriarch coming out?”

Eminia nodded in response. ”Yes, she has rested for long enough. This break in that Cosgles Raceʼs village was a huge relief for her as she was close to reaching her limit.” Eminia then smiled at Fatax, telling him, ”Iʼll see you another time, brother.”

Fatax didnʼt look very happy as he nodded. ”Sure, Iʼll see you another time.”

Eminia then closed her eyes. As Rean watched it, he could feel the demeanor of the girl changing before she opened her eyes once again. ”Sigh...the intervals are getting smaller. We need to reach the fairies soon. Truly, what a terrible moment for that man to start stirring up problems in the clan.”

It was then that a voice came from behind the cave room Fatax and Langara were talking. ”Oh, so do you want me to increase our travel speed?”

Fatax and Langara were taken aback as they looked in the direction of the voice. ”You! How long have you been there?”

”Long enough to know that you need to take some time to rest,” Rean explained. ”Donʼt tell me I shouldnʼt have done it. You two had been out of the village for many hours, you know? It was obvious that Roan or I would come out to look for you. Of course, if I noticed that you wanted to leave our group, then I wouldnʼt have come as you arenʼt our prisoners or anything like that.”

Langara narrowed her eyes after hearing that. ”However, there was no need to be that sneaky, right?”

Rean shrugged his shoulders. ”If I wanted to, you wouldnʼt even know I was here. In any case, there was no need to keep this problem hidden from me. We have a deal about the fragments, donʼt we? I would have tried to increase our speed. Still, what do you mean by intervals getting smaller? Could it be that you have to change into another body soon?”

”Thatʼs not your problem. In any case, this situation shouldnʼt happen again,” Langara answered. ”So, howʼs your Golden Rascol? Is it ready to fly?”

Rean sighed after hearing her words, nodding soon after as he replied, ”Rascal is definitely ready to take flight. Thatʼs why I came to look for you. Letʼs go.”

On the way out, Rean also offered, ”Well, if you feel like youʼre having issues with your soul, let me know. Light Element is very useful for these kinds of matters. I donʼt think I can heal the issue with compatibility between you and this little girl. However, I can definitely alleviate the strain.”

Langara couldnʼt help but say in response, ”Youʼre quite naive, arenʼt you? Or perhaps a pushover could be a better description.”

”Hahaha!” Rean laughed in response to those words. ”Roan often says the same thing. Do you think itʼs a flaw?”

Fatax and Langara nodded together. ”In the Realm of Gods, it definitely is.”

Rean then asked back, ”Then, do you think this is an issue with me, or is it an issue with the people in the Realm of Gods? Is it really bad to be a good person? Or is it the Realm of Godsʼ way of thinking that makes it seem that way?”

”This...” Langara and Fatax were taken aback. Was it really a bad thing to be good? In normal circumstances, they would say yes. Then again, wasnʼt it because Rean was good to them that they reached this far? That also included Roan, although, in his case, he simply thought it to be more interesting to have more hardships.

”Think about it. Perhaps youʼll see the world in a different light in the future.”

Rean then left ahead, leaving Langara and Fatax with pensive expressions. Of course, they quickly recovered from it and put those thoughts behind their mind. Above everything else, they needed to reach the fairiesʼ territory.

Roan was already waiting close to Rascal, ready to depart at any moment. Of course, he heard everything that happened with Rean through their Soul Connection. ”Youʼre finally back.. Letʼs get going.”
