Death… And Me

Chapter 2509 Kentucky is Kentucky

?As Rean flew in the direction of the depths of the Illusory World, he thought about the Mirror Globe. ʼSister Orb, do you think the reflective nature of that Mirror Globe was what allowed it to change the Element inside the Cores?ʼ

[Most likely,] Sister Orb answered. [I donʼt know what the trick behind it was, but it is true that light can be converted into dark and vice versa. I just donʼt know how efficient that Globe was with it. Was it able to change one core from Dark Element into Light Element without anything other than the core itself? If it did, then where was it getting the Divine Energy necessary for the change? Not to mention, the cores themselves were also filled with a lot of Divine Energy.]

Rean smiled. ʼEasily changing Light and Dark Elements... other than Roan and I, probably only something like the Universe Foundation Fragment can achieve this.ʼ

Sister Orb agreed. [I think so, too. All Fragments of the Universe Foundation have the purest Light and Dark Elements as well as Yin and Yang Energies possible in them. They donʼt lose at all to you and Roan in this regard. I would be truly shocked if this was the work of something else other than a Fragment of the Universe Foundation.]

ʼThe only doubt is what is it being used for. We have seen the Fragments creating several kinds of weird events, and this is a new one,ʼ Rean commented. ʼBesides, it seems like this kind of thing didnʼt happen before. Look.ʼ

Rean then descended near a Light Beast and immediately slashed it with his sword. The Light Beast, which had a power equivalent to a Core and Soul Fusion Realm expert, was easily split in half. Yet, there was no such thing as White Blood. The Light Beast was made of nothing other than Light Element and Divine Energy. Once defeated, it simply dissipated.

ʼSee?ʼ Rean asked. ʼThatʼs how all the Light Beasts, including the strongest ones, should be. The strongest ones, obviously, are the Initial Stage Elemental Transformation Realm Light Beasts. There seems to be none stronger than that. Ignoring their strength limit, they shouldnʼt be able to bleed or have any cores inside them.ʼ

[Thatʼs weird, indeed. Could it be because of our presence? After all, even though you and Roan are far away from each other, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm does have a very big Universe Foundation Fragment. Itʼs just that their presence shouldnʼt be possible to be felt while the Dimensional Realm is closed.]

Rean shook his head, though. ʼI doubt it. Didnʼt you see the area where that Mirror Globe was located? Iʼm absolutely sure that Globe has been there for quite some time. It appeared way before we even arrived in the Angel Realm, Heavens.ʼ

[Well, with my sense of the outside world this weak, I definitely missed a lot of things.] Sister Orb then asked. [By the way, where are you going at the moment?]

ʼFrom what Aelrie told me, the depths of the Azum Dimensional Realm are in this direction,ʼ Rean answered. ʼShe said this Dimensional Realm has been completely explored and was now used to train the young angels. Yet, how could it be? If it had, then how come no one knows how this Illusory World works? After all, it would be much better to simply copy this system and replicate it in more accessible areas of the Angel Realm than have to come here instead.ʼ

[That makes sense.] Sister Orb had to admit Rean had a point.

ʼHum?ʼ Rean then looked in the direction he could feel Kentucky. ʼSeems like he stopped moving. Anyway, he can take care of himself.ʼ Rean then increased his speed, flying through the skies and going deeper into the Azum Dimensional Realm.

At the same time, on the other side, Kentucky and Aelrie found themselves in a similar situation to Reanʼs a moment ago. They were locked inside an invisible barrier with many Light Beasts attacking them. Itʼs just that there wasnʼt a Mirror Globe at the center this time. Instead, it was a perfect square... although it also looked like a mirror.

Kentuckyʼs feathers streaked everywhere, slashing the Light Beasts like a hot knife through butter, spraying their White Blood in all directions. Kentucky wasnʼt even paying attention to the Light Beasts as he touched the Mirror Cube. ”What is this, Aelire?”

Aelrie seemed at a loss as she also touched it. ”Iʼve never seen this before. Also, how come these Light Beasts have real bodies? Well, not real since we are in an Illusory World, but they were supposed to be made of Light Element and Divine Energy in this Illusion.”

”Seems like we are trapped here too,” Kentucky added. Several of Kentuckyʼs Blade Feathers kept hitting the Invisible Wall, failing to pierce through. ”Meh, who cares. Iʼm going to just destroy it.”

”Eh?!” Aelrie was taken aback. ”Arenʼt you curious about it? Perhaps there is som-”

Before Aelrie could even finish talking, Kentucky descended like a meteor, using his beak to strike the Mirror Cube.

ʼKawaʼs Divine Thrust!ʼ

*Boom!*

Cracks spread all over the Mirror Cube, shattering it just like the Mirro Globe Rean destroyed a while ago.

Kentucky then looked at Aelrie. ”Did you say something?”

Aelireʼs mouth twitched a little. ”Forget it...”

The two of them looked at where the Mirror Cube was located a second ago. Sure enough, the same white reflective liquid flowed everywhere, and many cores flowed together with it. The weird thing was that the cores werenʼt round like normal beast cores. Instead, they were all square-shaped. The only thing they were similar to the ones Rean destroyed was the fact they were also filled with Dark Element.

”Dark Element?” Aelrie was surprised to see that in this place. ”So much of it...”

Kentucky ignored the square-shaped cores and used his Divine Energy to collect an item from the ground. This one looked like a very small Mirror Sphere. ”Interesting... It can block Divine Sense and Soul Power.”

Then...

*Gulp!*

Kentucky swallowed it!
