Death… And Me

Chapter 1345 - Aelrie

After some time, Rean and Roan concluded that she wasnʼt coming back as Roan said, ”Sheʼs most likely not someone from Lanqueas Continent.”

Naturally, Kentucky, Hurio, Rean, and Lilia were surprised to hear that. ”How come?”

”First, do you remember what she said that Kentucky would have nothing to fear if she left with her?” Roan asked. Everyone nodded and waited for him to continue. ”Thatʼs the point. She had never said that Kentucky would be safe in Lanqueas Continent. If she was someone from the top ten powers, she would have mentioned the Lanqueas Continent. However, she made it seem like Kentucky would be safe simply anywhere.”

Reanʼs group had to admit Roan was right. However, Roan didnʼt finish it there. ”Second, everyone from the top ten powers always wore some sort of identification that showed who they were. Even those Void Tempering Realm cultivators had them. Aelrie had absolutely nothing like that on her. It even makes me wonder whether the agreement she talked about was something about the Lanqueas Continent or something else entirely.”

”Last but not least, she said that we might meet someday in the Realm of Gods. Not the Lanqueas Continent, but the Realm of Gods as a whole. It obviously meant that she wasnʼt someone who stayed in a single continent for long.”

Hurio couldnʼt help but comment, ”However, she knew a lot about the Lost Star Realm. Doesnʼt that prove that sheʼs part of the top ten powers?”

Roan shook his head in response, telling him, ”She can subjugate something like that white raven... well, she called it a Star Raven, very easily. Do you think she would have any issues finding the truth about this place with her strength? She can basically travel all around this Lost Star Realm without a care in the world since nothing here can threaten her.”

Rean then looked in the direction the little girl disappeared, muttering, ”Aelrie Holamenor... it really might not be the last time we meet her.” Rean then turned his attention to the surroundings before saying, ”Kentucky, can you see above the twenty-meter limit as well as you see the ground?”

Kentucky looked to the skies after that. Although there was a huge pressure that made it impossible to fly beyond twenty meters, that pressure was invisible, so Kentucky could indeed see very far. ”Do you want me to check the skies instead of the ground from now on?”

Rean nodded in response. ”I really donʼt want to bump into another ancient beast again. It was already crazy enough that we were saved by that little girl. I refuse to believe that weʼll be that lucky again, so we need to be careful against what might come from above. That Star Raven found us even with my Light bending skill active, so I canʼt guarantee that the others wonʼt be able to do the same thing. After all, the first ancient beast we  came across didnʼt seem to have noticed our presence, so Iʼm in doubt whether it was really possible to hide from them or not with my technique.”

Kentucky nodded after that, saying, ”Alright. Iʼll keep an eye on the sky as well from now on.”

Nevertheless, Roan felt that something wasnʼt right about that little girl. ”Just what was that girl? She resembled a human, but the feeling was completely different.”

Rean didnʼt seem to care that much. ”Who knows? Itʼs not like we havenʼt seen other races that looked like humans but were different. Look at Hurio and Lilia. They look like humans, but they obviously arenʼt.”

Hurio scratched the back of his head in response. ”Well, I wonʼt deny that, but I canʼt talk much about it either.”

Rean and Roan nodded after that. ”Itʼs fine. Letʼs go back to what matters. Kentucky, letʼs go.”

”Sure.” Kentucky then turned in the right direction once again and shot into the distance.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Lost Star Realm, a small spatial gate appeared before a small little girl dressed in white came out. Sure enough, that was Aelrie Holamenor, the person the twinsʼ group had just met a few minutes ago. What the twins took over a year to travel through, she was able to travel in a moment.

As soon as she came out, a voice appeared on her side, its tone quite angry. ”Aelrie! I told you not to wander around on your own, didnʼt I? Members of our race are too rare, so we canʼt risk losing anyone.” Soon after, a young man with an angry face appeared beside her.

The little girlʼs expression saddened in response, saying, ”But father, I found this realm a few days ago. Look, I even found a Star Raven inside. Once I show it to the others, theyʼll definitely feel super jealous.”

*Pah!*

*Ouch!*

The young man slapped Aelrieʼs backhead after that. Even with her control over space, she was completely powerless to resist or stop the young manʼs action. ”Do you think these small creatures are worth more than your safety? Sigh... thatʼs why I told your mother to stop being so lenient to you. Youʼre not even ten years old yet, but look at how many problems you and those friends of yours are causing already.”

Aelrie complained after the slap on her backhead, ”Iʼm gonna tell on mom what you did.”

The young man couldnʼt care less. ”Is that so? Then, how about I go tell your friends until what age you kept wetting your bed. Letʼs see if they would like this piece of information.”

”No!” Aelrie immediately turned as docile as a puppy after that. ”Sorry, father. I wonʼt do that again. Please!”

The young man didnʼt believe Aelrieʼs words even for a second. However, it was enough to scare her for the moment. He guessed that she would behave for a few weeks after that. ”Hmph! Weʼll see. Now, letʼs go back home before someone notices you left.”

The young man then touched the little girlʼs shoulder and disappeared without a trace. He didnʼt simply leave the periphery of the Lost Star Realm. In fact, he couldnʼt be found anywhere near the continents surrounding Lanqueas Continent at all.. As to where he and the little girl went, only they knew.
