Death… and me

Chapter 2224 Don’t Provoke The Minokawas

The Minokawa then looked at Kentucky and the humans with him. “Hum…? I don’t remember this guy.”

Werin came to Kentucky’s side and put a wing over his shoulder. “What are you talking about, Lily-Yu? It’s Ken-Ae! Don’t you remember him? I know it has been over a thousand years he’s been out, but you couldn’t possibly have forgotten him, right?”

“Ken-Ae?” Lily looked at Kentucky with suspicion. “Was there a Minokawa with that name?”

Kentucky, having inherited the twins’ amazing acting skills, immediately showed an expression of sadness. “See, Werin-Ou? I told you no one cared about me anymore. I shouldn’t have come. I guess… I guess I’m leaving.”

“No!” Werin immediately understood Kentucky’s intentions and looked at Lily with an angry expression. “Lily-Yu, how can you say that? You two were born pretty much at the same time. You even played together! How heartless can you be? I know you didn’t have that much time to know each other since he left not that long after, but still…”

Roan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Werin. He felt like there was more to that than Werin pretended to include in that fake story of his. ‘He is hiding something…’

Truth be told, Lily and Kentucky did have a connection. It’s just that Werin truly didn’t want to be the one to talk about it, so he kept silent. He hasn’t told neither Kentucky nor Lily about it either. He would let the elders deal with it when the time was right. For now, this little lie was the best he could do to keep things under the wrap.

“I…” Lily was speechless. She absolutely couldn’t remember any Minokawa called Ken-Ae at all! First of all, if he was born around the same time as she was and then left, then it was truly a long time ago. “O-Oh! Right, right! It’s Ken-Ae, how could I forget that… that… that fat belly! Yes, I totally remember him!”

Kentucky’s eyes twitched a little. From the corner of his eyes, he could see Rean doing his absolute best to not burst out in laughter. ‘I was indeed very chub when I was younger, but now I grew to be a very handsome Minokawa. I don’t have a fat belly at all!’ He thought.

“Ahem!” Kentucky intervened. “I also remember your unsymmetrical wings. It is good to see that you also haven’t changed after all this time.”

Werin felt cold sweat running through his body. ‘Bro, are you trying to cause trouble on purpose? That’s what you want, right? Right?!’

Lily-Yu’s expression turned absolutely horrid when she heard Kentucky’s words. “Who the hell has unsymmetrical wings? They are absolutely perfect! I’m one of the most beautiful Minokawas ever!” Said the female Minokawa while spreading her wings wide and proudly.

Roan and Luan looked at each other, wondering if it was a common trait between Minokawas to overestimate themselves in every aspect. They then remembered Jeskli-Go, who visited the twins back in the Dragon Race, wasn’t much different either in this regard… Or so Kentucky told them since they didn’t see Jeskli-Go back then. ‘They are all idiots, noted.’

Kentucky shrugged his shoulders. “Oh, is that so? I must be seeing things then, just like you thought you saw a fat belly. There is no such thing as a fat belly here. I’m the slenderest Minokawa ever!” said the Male Minokawa while pushing his chest forward with even more pride than the Minokawa in from of him. “But I guess this is understandable. The wrong proportions of your wings most likely caused your eyes to shift a little. That’s why you thought you saw a fat belly.”

*Bang!*

Suddenly, Kentucky and Lily bumped their heads against each other.

“Are you looking for a fight?! UH?!”

“Hell yea! Bring it on!”

Finally, Rean failed to hold back. “HAHAHAHAHA!”

Kentucky and Lily-Yu looked at the laughing guy on the side. “What’s so funny?”

Rean shook his head while laughing. “I think it is better to ask what is NOT funny. You two are basically a copy of each other. Unsymmetric wings? Fat belly? How come I can only see two identical Demon Birds? If not for her voice, I wouldn’t even know she was a Female Minokawa. Hahahaha!”

Neither Kentucky nor Lily was the least bit happy with Rean’s words.

‘Kawa Blade Domain!’

Both Kentucky and Lily activated the same Minokawa ability at the same time, much to Rean’s surprise. Immediately, countless Blade Feathers filled with Spatial Power attacked Rean from all sides. “Hey! Two against one is not fair!”

Neither Kentucky nor Lily cared about fairness to start with. They were both at a similar level of cultivation, so even Rean had some trouble dealing with them.

‘Divine Bird Strike’

‘Kawa’s Divine Thrust!’

Kentucky and Lily used the Minokawa’s Race attacks one after another while keeping their Minokawa’s Domains, much to Rean desperation. He truly shouldn’t have said those words a moment ago.

Rean then looked at Roan and Luan, who were watching not that far. “Aren’t you going to do something? I’m going to die like that!”

Roan sat on the ground with Luan. Luan then took two tea cups from his Spatial Ring and brewed some simple tea for them. “Do you want one or two cubes of sugar, Father?”

“Put two cubes for me. There is a good show going on, so a little bit more sweetness is just perfect,” said Roan, completely ignoring Rean’s plight while he watched the events unfolding.

Rean felt like crying already. “Fuck you! Werin, you are a Minokawa! Stop them!”

Werin looked into the distance, though. “Such a nice weather today. The sun is so warm!” said Werin.

“WHAT FUCKING SUN? It’s always NIGHT TIME in the Floating Islands of Time! THERE IS NO SUN!!!” Rean screamed in response while doing his best to survive the Minokawas.

Werin looked away even more. “One can dream about a change, right?” There was no fucking way he would stop Kentucky and Lily. Kentucky was the Regal Minokawa, so he knew he would be no match to Him, let alone if Lily also decided to attack him too.

*Bang, bang, bang!*

Veins began to pop out of Rean’s head as he got angrier and angrier. Yet, the injuries on his body increased with each attack he failed to dodge. “You fucking asked for it!”

‘Life Style, Instant Recovery!’

‘Life Style, Enhancement!’

‘Life World Domain!’

‘Death Style, Shadow Steps!’

Rean’s Sky Energy poured out into his Black Star Sword while his Sword Aura enveloped it. His Domain completely negated the effect of any Domains that tried to affect him as he counter-attacked.

‘Death Style, Three Claws of the Dragon!’

‘Life Fire, Flame Emperor Slash!’

And just like that, a battle unfolded right there and then.
