Death… And Me

Chapter 3876: Good News!

Several hours passed, but no one in the twins’ group noticed anything unusual. They just tried to make their way to the center, sometimes finding one or another participant. Rarely did someone attack; Most fled or simply ignored them. Some friendly ones even tried to exchange information. Too bad neither side knew anything. The twins’ group didn’t mind. As long as they didn’t come look for trouble, they wouldn’t go out of their way to cause trouble for them either.

It goes without saying that everyone they found had similar cultivations to them, Nascent Soul Realm. That was likely the main reason why most didn’t attack, at least not if they were on their own, alone.

*Bang!*

Foliana’s body suddenly hit the crystal platform... or the wall on the side. The gravity had suddenly changed without warning, and she was taken by surprise. She quickly stood up again as the up and down sides were now different.

Of course, she could have resisted that pretty easily, but she kept her cultivation suppressed and acted as she should. ”This place is quite crazy...”

*Clack, clack, clack...*

And yet, the moment she stepped forward, an invisible tile on the platform sank down, reacting to her Divine Energy. Foliana had no time to pay attention as the crystal platforms that made all the walls, ceilings, and ground changed.

*Vuf!*

In the next second, two of those platforms charged against each other, Foliana at the center.

’Lightning Flash!’

Her Red Lightning immediately circulated in her body, and she flashed away.

*Bang!*

The two platforms slammed into each other with interse force, a force that even an Elemental Transformation Realm expert would have a hard time surviving against. Fortunately, Foliana moved fast enough with her Red Lightning Movement Skill.

”Now, that was a little over the top, no? I wonder how many of the participants would have managed to get out in time...” Foliana complained. However, since two platforms moved, that meant two openings appeared where those platforms were just a moment ago.

Then, the platforms started to return to their positions, and Foliana had to decide whether to fly into the gaps before they closed or continue on her original path. ”Shit, it all looks the same! Might as well give it a try!”

Then, she selected the path on the right side before it was closed by the platform that was returning to its original position.

But then, on the other side, she met someone who looked directly at her. That guy had noticed the platform changing in the distance and ran all the way here to cross to the other side. Yet, he was too slow, and the path closed, but not before Foliana came out of it.

There wasn’t anything weird at first. Foliana had already bumped into three more participants: two humanoids and a demon beast. This guy would simply be another one. However, Foliana and the guy noticed something different.

’Soul Transformation Realm!’

’Nascent Soul Realm!’

Yes, while Foliana looked to be in the Nascent Soul Realm, the guy in front of her was in the Soul Transformation! Due to his cultivation, he was supposed to have appeared much further away from the center than she did. Yet, here he was, just a few hours after the second event started.

The guy was just as surprised, but he was also happy. ”Hehe! If there is a Nascent Soul Realm girl here, that means I’m getting closer to the central area quite fast.”

Foliana smiled at him. ”Indeed. I’ve been checking my CD and I’m sure I’m moving in the right direction. I expected to find other Nascent Soul Realm experts, or maybe some slow Core and Soul Fusion if I was fast enough. Yet, you caught me first. Senior Eulia and Bugel mentioned that the starting positions were fairly distributed, so how can you be here already? I should have appeared much closer to the center than you.”

Suddenly, a spear appeared in the guy’s hand, his smile intensifying. ”You are correct. I did appear much, much further away than you did. Too bad, though. There is no need for you to know more.”

Then, he pointed his spear at Foliana. ”Now, will you leave your Spatial Ring behind, or should I take it from your body? It should be quite a cheap price for your life.”

Foliana had to do her best to not laugh there. The guy truly didn’t know who he was threatening. ”Oh, I’m so scared! Why don’t you give it a try, then?”

The guy snorted and immediately shot forward! His spear was pulled backwards and then thrusted forward. A weird dark dust cloud revolved around it, seemingly in reaction to the spear and the guy’s Divine Energy. He obviously had an Elemental Affinity outside the mainstream ones.

Foliana didn’t move, though. In fact, she didn’t have any intention of fighting back. Instead, she looked in another direction, a mocking smile on her face.

*plak!*

She snapped her fingers, and a tiny bit of Divine Energy shot in the direction she was looking.

*Brummmm!*

The crystal platforms immediately reacted to the Divine Energy, and hundreds of disks detached from it. No, those were more like circular saw blades filled with Divine Energy and Lightning Element!

”What?!” The guy was taken aback. He didn’t notice that trap at all and was forced to change his target. The Lightning Circular Saw Blades flew at him from all sides, but that dusty black cloud created another three copies of his spear. Two he handled himself, while the other two he controlled with his Divine Energy and Sense.

”Well then, have fun! Goodbye! Hahaha!” Foliana laughed, immediately flying away from there.

”Fuck!” Sure enough, the guy was fuming. He still couldn’t understand how Foliana knew there was a trap there.

*Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang...*

*Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...*

He broke one saw after another, pouring all his Divine Energy in each strike to make sure he took them down. The ones he failed to do so simply circled around and attacked him again. Eulia and Bugel weren’t joking when they said this Dimensional Realm’s Traps would match the cultivation of their targets. The saw blades could definitely kill that guy, but they weren’t strong enough that he couldn’t fight back.

He fought and destroyed the saw blades for several minutes, his entire body covered in blood and deep cuts as well as burnt marks due to the lightning element. Gravity shifted three times while he was almost cut to death because of those changes.

*Bang!*

Finally, he struck down the last Lightning Circular Saw Blade, landing on the ground while gasping for air. ”Th-That hore! I will- I will definitely find her!”

”Good news, here I am!” Never had he thought his wish would be fulfilled so fast...

’Crimson Thunder Rend!’

*arrrghhhh!*

Before he could react, Foliana’s dual blades struck him. She didn’t kill the guy, though. She pinned him down, and one of her blades pierced his abdomen, stopping just a millimeter away from his Dantian. If she pressed down, the guy would lose his entire cultivation. ”Now then, how about we talk a little bit?”
