Death… And Me

Chapter 1146 - Well, Thatʼs True

Haera and the others felt terrible when they heard that. Almost all of Fabioʼs siblings lost their competitors. The only ones remaining were Kalanda, Haeraʼs Granddaughter, and Plinio, Julioʼs son. In any other circumstance, they would be happy for that as their Kamos Kingdom rarely got anyone this far into the Sacred Land Recruitment, let alone two. Itʼs just unfortunate that Fabioʼs proteges simply destroyed it.

In the end, Kalanda and Plinio had to look for teams from other similar countries to join this last test. The problem was that neither of their teams seemed to have anything special, not that they had anything going either. Haera and Julio couldnʼt predict at all if they would get into the top 60 at the very least. Reanʼs group, on the other hand, obviously showed huge promise.

”Hmph! Donʼt count victory before the end. Unlike our groups, yours have the Klacks and Holang Country in them. Who knows what could happen there?” That was all Julio could come up with.

Fabio shrugged his shoulders as he said in response, ”Itʼs fine. They can even give up straight away and simply focus on the six other teams. They would still have a huge amount of points if they won against those. Besides, who says theyʼll lose to Klacks and Holang?”

Reanʼs group finally came out of the spatial gate once the 15 minutes were up. Sure enough, the free-fall never ended before they were dragged out of that place.

The members of Vilad Country were also brought outside and taken to a corner by the Sacred Land people. There, they deactivated the protective devices, allowing those members to move again. Any injuries they had were then healed before they were given the order to recover. They had a lot of time until the next match started.

Each group of ten teams only fought once before the queue moved to the next group. They would only fight again once all the ten teamsʼ groups fought once. That was also the case for Reanʼs group.

Rean checked the scoring board and could see they were quite far behind first place. ”Well, I guess it makes sense. We did win, but we took a long time to return to our own flag in that environment. The other matches for the winners definitely ended faster.”

”We just need to keep winning. Thatʼs all,” Roan said in response.

With that, the capture the flag matches continued. Winners and losers appeared one after another. Black horses did come out once in a while, but most of the top countries still got their wins.

The queue rotated, and Liana from Tenke Country fought again. Without any surprises, her team won again, and very fast at that. Only three teams had 6 points right now, and her Tenke group was at the top due to the speed they were finishing their matches.

Even Venaliʼs group making up the Huring Country team couldnʼt surpass the Tenke Country. They obviously won their match but couldnʼt finish it as fast as Lianaʼs group did. The worst thing was that they werenʼt in the same group of ten teams as Liana, so they couldnʼt try to stop her.

Eventually, Reanʼs group match arrived once more. ”Number 91 and Number 99. Number 92 and Number...”

99 corresponded to Wasxia Country, which had won its first battle against Tacon Country in the first round. They did seem a little tired, though. From the looks of it, their victory didnʼt come that easily.

The new environment they fell into was a jungle type. Other than the flagʼs location in their mind map, it wasnʼt possible to see the other team at the start.

*Roar!*

Not only that, but the jungle also had many Stage Six and even some Stage Seven Demon Beasts. The two groups would have a lot more to worry about other than their opponents.

Seeing that, Roan then took out his white scythe and simply waved his hand. ”Go away already. Iʼll protect the flag.”

Rean nodded after hearing that. ”Sure. Everyone, just follow me closely.”

Immediately, Reanʼs group left, leaving Roan alone with the flag. Following that, Death World once again took form, covering everything over a hundred meters in radius around the flag.

Surprisingly, Rean didnʼt wait either. He immediately activated his Light and Divine Sense bending skill, completely disappearing from anyoneʼs eyes together with Regio, Milina, and Samanta. They only had to be careful with the marks they left behind while moving through the forest. He also warned everyone, ʼDonʼt use your Divine Senses. Otherwise, our opponents will know that weʼre getting close.ʼ One must remember that Divine Sense can be felt if the levels arenʼt too far apart.

It didnʼt take long for Reanʼs group to find those demon beasts. However, they also didnʼt seem to have any special trait that allowed them to see his group. He also learned very well under Roanʼs tutelage to not move against the wind blowing in the beastsʼ direction. The demon beasts obviously didnʼt have sentience, so Rean ignored them completely.

While making their way to the opponentsʼ flag, Rean noticed some movement ahead. ʼStop!ʼ

Samanta, Regio, and Milina immediately stood still before two guys passed a few hundred meters away from them. They seemed very cautious in their movement, also making sure to not catch the demon beastsʼ attention. Rean and his group only had to wait until they were gone, though. In the end, they were simply too hard to spot. ʼLetʼs go!ʼ

Rean didnʼt mind having to fight those two there. However, there were too many demon beasts, so he didnʼt want to risk it either. Roan was more than enough to protect the flag, so it didnʼt matter if they let those guys pass through.

Eventually, Reanʼs group was able to see the opponentʼs flag in the distance. However... ʼSmart! They destroyed the entire forest surrounding their flag and kept three people defending it. Even with my Light bending skill, itʼll still be possible to see our steps getting close.ʼ

Samanta didnʼt seem to care as she said, ʼWe have the numbers advantage, so who cares? Letʼs take them down. With Milina and you taking the lead, I donʼt see us losing this fight.ʼ

Rean shrugged his shoulders before nodding in agreement.. ʼWell, thatʼs true.ʼ
