Death… And Me

Chapter 1090 - Give Me Face

Of course, Reanʼs Instant Recovery skill wasnʼt omnipotent. To use it, he needed to focus on the injuries, let alone Roan. Itʼs just that they always were given the necessary time to use it. However, Gulia wasnʼt an idiot and understood what she had to do from the get-go.

Roan wasnʼt the only one impressed, though. Inside Guliaʼs room, she worked on the injuries Roan inflicted on her. Roanʼs Dark Element still caused a lot of trouble for her. ”How can his element hurt so much? If I didnʼt use my Divine Energy to drive his power out fast enough, I might have gotten into trouble. Besides...” She then thought about the thing that impressed her the most. ”Just how the hell does he have so much Divine Energy? Even though I succeeded in making him use all of it, I used a lot more Divine Energy than what I usually would against someone of his level.”

Obviously, thatʼs because of the Light and Dark Element Cultivation Techniques given by the Soul Gem System. It was responsible for Rean and Roanʼs Dantians that could store three times as much energy compared to other cultivators.

On the next day, Regio came to pay a visit to Rean together with his mother. The old lady wanted to thank him properly, which Rean didnʼt mind. Regio also began to train with Rean and Roan from that point onward. Sure enough, Regio ended up being a little stronger than Rean and Roan. That served to show that Fabio truly recruited real talents.

Well, that made Regio feel a little down, though. After all, Rean and Roan were two stages below him. He was at the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm while the twins were still in the Middle Stage.

Time passed in a flash, and two weeks went by. During this day, Rean and Roan felt the energy from Celis and Kentucky heading their way much faster. Obviously, those two had reached the limit of the Middle Stage Six level as demon beasts. Naturally, that meant Rean and Roan were at the limit of the Middle Stage as well.

The twins quickly headed to the cultivation chambers that Colen showed when they arrived. There, they focused on their breakthrough as well. With Celis, Kentucky, Rean, and Roan working together, the breakthrough went as smoothly as it could go. First of all, it wasnʼt only Celis and Kentucky that had a huge amount of Divine Energy to use. One must remember that the twins were at the Royal Palace of the Kamos Kingdom. Obviously, this place had even more Divine Energy as the Kamos Royal Family was the one who grew the Divine Veins.

Roan pondered in silence for a bit after the breakthrough before saying, ”We still have half a year before we depart for the Sacred Land. Considering the concentration of Divine Energy here and the help Celis and Kentucky are giving us, we can definitely reach the Peak Stage before that.”

Rean agreed with Roan after hearing that. ”For that, we better not head out of the Capital for the time being then. Not that we have a reason to do so.”

The twins agreed with each other and decided to focus on cultivating. Of course, they also had access to a lot of materials for Formations, Alchemy, and Blacksmithing. How could they pass up the chance to improve their side occupations in the meantime?

Thanks to the breakthrough, Rean and Roan got a lot stronger during their practices with Regio and Gulia. Gulia, of course, could still defeat any of the two on a one-on-one battle. However, Regio wasnʼt able to do so anymore. Even though the twins were one stage behind, they could now hold the upper hand against him.

Well, that only made the cold Regio train even harder. He knew that his issue wasnʼt cultivation. The twins excelled more at combat. Otherwise, he would be at least on par with them. It couldnʼt be helped as Rean had been following and sparring against Roan since the Varen Tribe. Roan was simply on another league altogether.

A month after the twinsʼ arrival, Fabio finally returned to his residence.

”Welcome back, Master Fabio,” Colen said, already waiting for him at the entrance.

Fabio nodded as he took the opportunity to ask. ”So, did any of my proteges see my message?”

Colen nodded as he replied, ”Yes. Rean, Roan, Regio, and Gulia had already arrived. We havenʼt received any news from Samanta, though.”

Fabio was already satisfied that four of the five appeared. ”Thatʼs good enough. This is just an opportunity that Iʼm giving them to broaden their horizons. They donʼt have much chance of doing anything in the Sacred Land anyway.” Sure enough, Rean and Roanʼs conjecture was right about Fabioʼs reasons.

Fabio then called the four of them just to see that the twins had a breakthrough. ”Oh! Congratulations! Late Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, and both of you at the same time. Since you have the Royal Familyʼs resources now, you should be able to reach the Peak Stage in a year and a half, so train hard.” Little did he know about the twinsʼ real capabilities.

Fabio then looked at Regio and Gulia and asked them, ”How about the two of you? Any signs of breakthrough?”

Regio nodded. ”Three more months.” And thatʼs all he said.

Gulia shook her head in response. ”I broke through half a year ago. I still need a lot of time before I can reach the Middle Stage. Nevertheless, itʼs thanks to your resources that I got to the Saint Realm this fast, Senior Fabio.”

Fabio nodded in response, satisfied. ”That means weʼll have two Initial Stage Saint Realm cultivators and two Late Stage Soul Transformation cultivators. Thatʼs quite good when you compare it to the Royal Familyʼs descendants.”

Fabio then smiled after that. ”Talking about them, I believe you already know that it isnʼt all sugar and spice inside the Royal Palace, right?” Everyone nodded and waited for Fabio to continue. ”Good. A month and a half from now, there will be a small gathering between the houses of the Royal Family.. I hope you can give me some face when that time comes.”
