Death… And Me

Chapter 3551: Gate

Rifindio obviously got interested. ”Wait, can you really do that? Can I use Spear Intent with my Blood Spears then?” Many of Rifindio’s blood type attacks had the form of spears, after all.

Kentucky looked at him, nodding. ”Well, I don’t see why not.”

Roan was interested in something else, though. ”What kind of intent did you use? It doesn’t feel like either Sword or Blade Intent.”

Kentucky agreed, not surprised Roan found it straight away. ”In the end, I just can’t think about my Feather Blades as Swords or whatever. So, instead of thinking like that, why not think about my Feather Blades as exactly that, Feather Blades?”

Roan pondered a bit and had to admit Kentucky had a good idea. ”All Weapon Intents had to be created at some point. For the first Sword Intent user to appear, a Sword had to be created initially. That said, any weapon should be able to have an Intent related to it. If you think your Feather Blades are a new type of weapon, it naturally will have a new type of Intent.”

”Exactly!” Kentucky was happy to hear that. ”Fortunately, all steps of Weapon Intents are similar, so by using the Sword Intent as a base, I was able to have an idea of what my Feather Blade Intent should be. Well, it doesn’t make much of a difference at the moment, though.”

Kentucky was talking about the level of his Feather Blade Intent. In the end, just the First Stage of Intent wouldn’t change much of his overall attack power due to his high cultivation. For it to truly start making a difference, he will need to reach at least the Fourth Stage, Weapon Aura. The first stage is one thing, but the next ones will take much, much longer.

Rean looked at the newly born Feather Blade Intent from Kentucky before asking. ”It is good that you managed to create this. But can you use your Intent in the Feather Blades created by your Kawa Blade Domain?”

”That’s a good question,” Kentucky immediately tried it out.

’Kawa Blade Domain!’

Countless Feather Blades immediately materialized over the area, each one almost as strong as a real Feather from Kentucky. Kentucky concentrated on them, and sure enough, it wasn’t as easy. ”Sigh... No, it is too difficulty. I can use my Feather Blade Intent on ten or so of my Feather Blades, but that’s about it. Trying more than that ends up in the Intent Seed spreading too thin and not making any difference.”

”That’s good enough,” Roan said, expecting something like that. Even he, with his Sixth Stage of Weapon Intent, couldn’t create many of his Intent Weapons at once. Kentucky was using only the First Stage, which should be easier, but the Feather Blades of his Domain weren’t real Feather Blades to start with. ”Ten or so Feather Blades with Intent will make a big difference. You can literally hide them within the countless other Feather Blades of your Domain, and strike from blind spots that no one expects. You can even trick them into thinking your Feather Blades only have that amount of strength. Just think about it as a hidden weapon.”

”That sounds quite cool! I’ll do it!” Kentucky could see the potential of Roan’s idea.

”Okay, Kentucky, you go do what you have to do. The best thing for you is to train your Feather Blade Intent. If you manage to reach the Second Stage, that will be a higher gain of power than if you spent the next years cultivating. Sure, the Second Stage still isn’t all that impressive at our Cultivation Level, but it can’t be underestimated.”

”I’ll do it!” Kentucky said as he put his wing around Rifindio. ”How about you help me? You might manage to do something like that, too.”

Rifindio accepted without thinking twice. ”Sure, let’s go!”

With the two leaving the area, the twins turned back to Elsie. ”Alright, let’s continue our own training.”

”Yeah, yeah... let’s humiliate Elsie a little more until the Palace appears, why not?” Elsie felt disheartened, but she still went forward with that training, knowing it was the best for her.

The remaining years passed in a flash, and the appearance of the Palace was just a week away now.

*Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding, dong...*

Suddenly, the sound of a bell began to echo out of Elsie’s Portrait, causing her to stop what she was doing. ”Wait, something is happening!”

Rean and Roan also stopped, approaching her to check.

Knowing that the twins didn’t have any intention to rob her of her portrait anymore, Elsie didn’t ask to go out of the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm first. She simply brought the portrait out, and the sound began to echo in there as well.

”Oh! Look at the portrait!” Rean pointed out.

Every time the sound of the bell echoed, the portrait itself seemed to ripple, like a stone falling into a still lake. That sound spread all over the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm, catching the rest of their group’s attention. Not long after, Kentucky, Celis, Rifindio, and Zangeshu appeared there as well.

”Is this right?” Zangeshu asked out of curiosity.

”I thought it didn’t work inside the Pocket Dimensional Realms,” Celis mentioned.

Elsie turned in the portrait’s direction and tried to enter it. However, she was barred, confirming that it indeed didn’t work inside the Pocket Dimensional Realms. ”Yes, it is still blocked. If we want to enter the tiny Dimensional Realm inside the portrait, we will need to go outside.”

”Is your Concealing Formation outside working still?” Roan asked Rean on the side.

”Obviously. As if my formations would break or stop working just because of a few years.” Rean nodded. ”Let’s go out and take a look.”

*Zush, zush, zush, zush...*

Soon, they all appeared outside, and so did Elsie’s portrait. This time, Elsie managed to enter the portrait without issues. A few seconds later, she came out. ”Come inside and take a look.”

Not everyone followed, only Rean and Kentucky. The others stayed outside in case anything happened.

In the tiny Dimensional Realm, Rean and Kentucky saw how a gate began to materialize slowly while the bell sound continued. It probably would take a few days, but its outline could already be seen. ”Well, seems like this is going to be the entrance to the Celestial Supreme Palace.”
