Death… And Me

Chapter 2406 Pushing Too Far

”Do you think you can run?” Kinglei was still angry by the fact he was almost trapped earlier, so he pressed Grovan, trying to keep him there. However, both Grovan and Kinglei were indeed very similar in strength, so there was little he could do if Grovan focused on escaping only.

Crowley heard that and immediately used all his Divine Origin Energy to send several attacks against Rean, Roan, and Kanglia. That cost him even more energy, but he succeeded in forcing those three back. Right after, he flashed from their encirclement, quickly leaving Rean, Roan, and Kangliaʼs Domains range. 

Yet, surprisingly, Roan didnʼt give up. They needed to kill at least one of those Late-Stage Space-Time Realm Vruves, or they could return later. In fact, he was sure they would return. No one was supposed to know that their group was here, but th Vruves easily found and followed them. It was obvious the Vruves had some method to find where they were. Not to mention, the Vruves seemed to have some ties with the Devils in this place, so they could use the Devilsʼ forces, too.

*Zush!*

Suddenly, Kentucky appeared on their side, still bleeding. However, he was able to stabilize most of his injuries in the following minute when Rean, Roan, and Kanglia fought Crowley. ”Jump on! If it is just flying, Iʼm sure I can follow him.”

Rean, Roan, and even Kanglçia jumped on Kentuckyʼs back. However, Roan didnʼt tell Kentucky to follow Crowley. Instead, he immediately pointed in another direction.

Kentucky seemed to understand and shot into the distance like a ray of Dark and White Light. He wasnʼt as fast as a Late-Stage Space-Time Realm expert, but the Vruve Organization experts were very weak after all this battle. That said, Kentucky was now able to at least keep up with their speed.

As for the target Roan chose, it was the same one who was fighting Nolui, Dengais! Both Nolui and Dengais were in the Late Stage of the Space-Time Realm. Nolui also seemed to be someone close to Flinyu, one of the Peak Divinity Realm experts, so his strength was real. Both Nolui and Dengais fought on equal terms all this time.

Another good point was that his fight ended up dragging quite far from where Grovan fought. That meant they didnʼt see the outcome in the distance. With Nolui holding the guy back and considering Crowley fled in another direction, they could totally encircle Dengais before he was warned to retreat.

*Boom!*

Nolui and Dengais once again clashed, neither side giving the other any advantage.

”Hmph! So the Vruve Organization is just it, uh? If you donʼt have your little friends to help you, you canʼt even get the upper hand against me.” Nolui was still angry by the injury he received from Dengais during their first encounter while he fled from all the Vruves.

”Overestimating yourself,” Dengais didnʼt let go. ”If not because of these annoying treasures of your master, do you think you would have matched me for this long?”

”Ha!” Nolui snorted. ”Oneʼs equipment is part of their strength. Since when do cultivators care about where their weapons came from? All that matters is whether they can use it to defeat their opponents or not!”

Suddenly, a Divine Sense passed over where Nolui and Dengais were fighting. It was Grovanʼs Divine Sense. Even though Nolui and Dengais were fighting far away, that was still well within Grovanʼs range.

Hearing the Divine Sense Message from Grovan, Dengais showed an expression of incredulity. He did see Jidambo dying, but their Vruve Organization was supposed to still have the upper hand. In his eyes, Jidambo only died because of the sneak attack from Roan. As for Nafrak, the one Rean killed, that was simply because Nafrak completely underestimated Rean.

Yet, now he heard that their team had to retreat and that they lost. He found it hard to believe. ʼFuck!ʼ

Dengais then exchanged another move with Nolui, forcing him back for a moment before quickly turning around to flee. Yet, it was at this moment that two Domains covered his body. One of them immediately started to corrode his Domain, while the second completely nullified his Domain abilities. Last but not least, there was a third Domain of Fire, but that one didnʼt bother Dengais as much as the first two.

”Hehe! Are you thinking of running? That time, when you and your group pursued me, I was able to flee. Letʼs see if you can do the same now that the one pursuing is my group instead,” Nolui laughed as he quickly regained his stability. 

*Zush!*

With Rean and Roanʼs Domains, Nolui was now faster than Dengais, so he caught him in a flash, forcing Dengais to defend against Nolui instead of fleeing.

That was a mistake, though. If he had just received the damage and pressed forward, he could still have left Rean and Roanʼs Domain, which were still covering him at their furthest range. Now that he stopped to defend, the Twinsʼ got closer, and Dengais ended up well within them. Not to mention, Kentucky was almost as fast as Dengais and was getting faster as his injuries healed, while Dengais was only getting slower.

Dengais understood he was in a life-and-death moment and immediately used his Divine Sense to request help.

Grovan, who was still running away, was taken aback for a moment. ʼWerenʼt those ants fighting Crowley a moment ago? How did they appear where Dengais was fighting?ʼ Well, Grovan couldnʼt be blamed. The moment Roan selected a target, Rean used his Divine Sense Bending skill to disappear from Grovanʼs vision. Kinglei was pursuing him, so Grovanʼs Divine Sense wasnʼt close enough to break through the bending power from Reanʼs skill.

As for Crowley, he was fleeing at full speed. When Reanʼs group disappeared from his Divine Sense, he simply thought they were hiding to ambush him. In his mind, Reanʼs group was still on his tail. Never did he think they would change targets after pushing him that far during their battle.
