Death… And Me

Chapter 2938: Why Now?

In the end, Klifon accepted the offer. It made sense since it was believed a Sun Urpin Cultivation Technique might be found inside. With the change in the Sunlight Realm, it would look too suspicious if Klifon didnʼt get interested. ”Alright, Iʼll go. However, Iʼll bring a few friends with me. That is my condition.”

Falatis couldnʼt be happier. ”That goes without saying. If that makes you feel safer, then by all means, bring your friends. Our Parton Sect will receive them with open arms.” There would be Transition Realm Experts from the sect going into the Realm, so why should Falatis worry about a few extra Stage Six Spirits or similar-level experts? The sect only needed the Sun Urpinʼs ability to guide inside the Realm.

”When will the opening happen?” Klifon took the chance to ask.

Falatis checked his CD again before speaking. ”The Royal Festival is about to start, so the Royal Family made sure no one would be able to get close to the Sunlight Realm before the festival is over. The gathering to enter the Sunlight Realm will happen once the festival is over.”

Rean heard that from the outside and faintly smiled. The auction in the Royal Capital just so happened to happen during the festival, so it was quite convenient for him and Roan. ʼWell, I need to convince the ice block to go inside with me first...ʼ

Klifon then discussed a few more details with Falatis before Falatisʼs airship finally left Donnel City. Of course, Klifon stayed behind and told them he would come to join the Parton Sect after the festival.

Once the airship disappeared on the horizon, Klifon relaxed and called out. ”Jerry, where are you?”

”Right here,” Rean answered as he canceled his Light and Divine Sense Bending Skill. He was only a few tens of meters in front of Klifon.

”Holy shit!” Klifon was startled. He kept looking at the hiding places near the buildings on the ground, trying to find Reanʼs hiding place. Never had he expected Rean could hide in thin air like that. ”How the hell did you do that?”

Rean shrugged. ”This is a trade secret. Hahaha!” Rean then let Rosa go and approached Klifon. ”That realm seems fun. Iʼll be your friend there.”

Klifon narrowed his eyes. ”I only accepted the offer because it would be weird if I hadnʼt, not because you asked me to. Are you also after that Divine Werldem Stone?”

Rean pondered a bit. ”To be honest, I donʼt know. It definitely caught my attention, but I didnʼt even know it existed until a minute ago.”

Klifon looked at Rosa, confused. ”Isnʼt he an elder of your Gondel Clan? How come he doesnʼt know?”

Rosa shook her head. ”I also found it strange. Elder Jerry, how come you never heard about

it?”

”Letʼs just say Iʼve never paid much attention to legends. Hahaha!” Rean tried to brush it out. Unfortunately, Rosa and Klifonʼs expressions totally showed their lack of belief. ”Fine, I didnʼt know because this is truly the first time I heard about it. Happy? I only arrived in this region recently, so Iʼm unaware of most matters, including this Sunlight Realm. It is that simple. The same goes for my brother.”

”As I thought,” Klifon nodded. ”I mean, your brother made a cultivation technique for my Sun Urpin Race from scratch, and it took only a few days. It was simply impossible to believe Iʼd never heard about him. I guess you wonʼt talk more about your real origins, right? Are you truly a member of the Gondel Clan?”

”I canʼt tell you more about my origin, but I can guarantee you my brother and I are members of the Gondel Clan,” Rean answered. ”Itʼs just that our status is rather special...” By special, Rean meant even lower than Rosa... not that he would say that aloud.

Klifonʼs head moved a little forward as his expression turned even more doubtful. ”You and your brother are just too weird.”

”I canʼt deny that,” Rean shrugged. ”In any case, it is up to you whether you want to go in with Tom and I. If you decide to bring someone else, I wonʼt force the issue.”

”Whatever,” Klifon decided to believe Rean for now. ”You kept your word about the cultivation technique.” he then patted Rosaʼs head with his wing. ”Besides, you saved the little girl, so I still consider myself in your debt.”

Rosa sighed. ”Just when you stop treating me like a kid, Klifon? Iʼm already in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm, you know?”

Klifon glanced at her. ”You still smell like your motherʼs milk.”

”I told her the same thing!” Rean quickly followed.

”Seems like we will do quite well together,” Klifon complemented with a happy expression. A strong brotherhood was formed just there and then... much to Rosaʼs despair.

”You know what? I can go back to the Gondel Clan by myself! Goodbye!” Rosa grumped as she flew away.

”Hahaha!” Rean and Klifon laughed in response.

”Just make sure that girl doesnʼt cause trouble, alright?” Klifon asked Rean.

”Well, I wonʼt be around for long, but I will give her a hand if a need appears,” Rean didnʼt mind. ”By the way, Klifon, what do you know about that place? The same things as Rosa?” Klifon nodded. ”Pretty much. She told you, I believe? No one could make it past the outer skirts of the realm. And the entrance path was even worse. In the end, no one has any idea. Cultivation Technique for Sun Urpins, Divine Werdlem Stones, whatever... no one can guarantee for sure that they exist. As far as Iʼm concerned, the place might be completely empty.”

Rean nodded. ”So thatʼs how it is. Alright, thanks for accepting to bring my brother and I with you. Iʼll go back to Gondel Clan with Rosa now. See you later.” Rean then flew into the distance, quickly catching up to Rosa. From there, he pulled Rosa with him since he could fly much faster.

On the back, Klifonʼs expression turned serious before he looked in the direction of the Sunlight Realm. For a moment, a huge crack appeared on his core, a crack that even Rean and Roan didnʼt notice, but it quickly disappeared. ”Why now...” he murmured for a moment before returning to his tower.
