Death… And Me

Chapter 2504  Iʼll Better Check

In the end, the Angel didnʼt have the same resilience as the Light Beast and was hit hard. His body was sent flying, crashing into the ground and breaking a few of his bones. The Light Beast took the chance and pounced at the Angel.

The Angel saw that, and a terrified expression appeared on his face. He didnʼt have the strength to do anything anymore. He could only close his eyes and wait for his death. Obviously, he was one of the young Angels who came to this place for the first time, so he truly thought he was going to die.

*Slash!*

Yet, the sound of a blade cutting through flesh echoed in the Angelsʼ ears.

*Crash, Crash!*

Right after, two other sounds followed as two things fell on both of the Angelʼs sides. When the Angel opened his eyes, he saw the beast he was fighting against dead, being split in two while the two parts of its body lay on his sides. ”This...”

Rean descended from the sky a second later, laughing at the Angel. ”Hahaha! Are you okay, kid? You are quite lucky I was nearby.” Rean still had his Angel appearance, although he changed the pairs of wings on his back to a single pair.

As mentioned in the past, all Angels at the Transition Realm and below have a single pair of wings. From the Void Tempering Realm onwards, they gain a new pair of wings after every new Realm. Rean simply got rid of his six pairs and kept a single one. The Angel struggled to get up and seemed quite distressed. The encounter with the beast truly pushed him to his limits. ”S-Senior... Thank you for saving my life.” Still, Angels are indeed quite united, so he wasnʼt surprised that Rean saved him as most Angels would have done so. Itʼs just that he didnʼt expect Ran to appear here.

Rean just lightly waved his hand. ”Itʼs fine. Fate brought us together, so how could I let one of my Angel Race members die that easily? In fact, I arrived a little earlier and watched your fight. You got quite some spirit, kid. You didnʼt try to flee until the very end. You know, there is a difference between being brave and being dumb. If you see you have no chance of winning, just flee. Live to fight another day.”

The Angel scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed. ”Itʼs not that I didnʼt think about it. Itʼs just that I was too angry. This Light Beast killed three of my friends... I... just couldnʼt let it go.”

Rean patted the guyʼs head and nodded. ”Well, it is dead now.” He didnʼt tell him that his friends were alive and well, though. After all, that would ruin the real purpose of this Dimensional Realm for the young Angel. ”So, whatʼs your name?”

”Iʼm Tabbris, sir,” The Angel quickly answered. ”How may I address senior?”

Rean pondered a bit and just used some random name again. ”Call me Jim.”

”Jim?” Tabbris was a little taken aback. That was really a very different name in the Angel Realm. At the very least, he had never heard this before. ”I see. Sorry, senior Jim. I need to sit to recover a little.”

”Oh, let me take care of that.” Rean pressed his hand on the Angelʼs shoulder and activated his Instant Recovery skill. In a matter of seconds, Tabbris was 100% healed. If anything, his body was in an even better condition than before he started the battle. ”Such power...” Tabbris had never seen such healing skill. ”Thank you once again, senior Jim.”

Rean nodded and finally went into the main topic. ”Tabbris, I have just arrived, and I donʼt really know where I am at the moment. Would you be able to tell me where I can find the Rutus Mountain Range in the Illusory World?”

Tabbris looked at Rean with a puzzled expression. ”Rutus Mountain Range?” He then thought about the map he memorized before entering the Illusory World. ”Iʼm sorry, senior. But I only checked the Map of this Region since Iʼm supposed to train here. All I can tell you is that this Region doesnʼt have a Mountain Range called Rutus.”

”It doesnʼt?” Rean narrowed his eyes. Yet, he wasnʼt really surprised. From the moment he arrived in the Illusory World, he noticed that Kentucky was still very far away from him. Kentucky was closer than before Rean arrived in this place, but it was still far. ”Whatʼs the name of this Region?”

”Hangan, sir,” Tabbris quickly answered.

Rean didnʼt check the other regions in the Jade Slip Map since he wasnʼt supposed to appear in them. He only checked the Region he was supposed to appear in and the Regions leading to the depths of the Illusory World. However, at the very least, he checked the names of the other Regions around, just in case. ʼHangan is literally on the opposite side of the Laoin Region where Kentucky is.ʼ

Rean then looked in the direction Laoin was located. ʼI can at least tell that Kentucky is not moving. Most likely, he is waiting for me at the meeting point. Hum... he should be able to tell that Iʼm far away too. Meh, whatever. It is far, but nothing I canʼt cover in a few seconds with a Spatial Gate... or so I wanted to do...ʼ

Rean obviously thought about using Spatial Gates to move around this place. Trying to open one of them was the first thing Rean did before even helping Tabbris. Yet, it didnʼt matter how much Space and Time Power he employed, the Space kept as firm as a rock. He couldnʼt scratch it at all, let alone open a Spatial Gate.

”Tabbris, do you know if it is possible to fly from here to the Laoin Region?” Rean asked, preparing to leave.

”I donʼt know where Laoin is located, sir,” Tabbris spoke truthfully. ”However, I do know there is a chasm that cuts this Dimensional Realm from top to bottom. Going between both sides seems to be impossible... or so my elder warned me in case I got there.”

Rean narrowed his eyes. ”Is that so...? Oh well, Iʼll better check it myself.
