Death… and me

Chapter 2235 Give It a Try

Jeskli quickly reached a decision. “Since we are already here, we might as well see what is up there. Just be careful. Since there is a trapping formation, it means whoever or whatever is here doesn’t want anyone to leave once inside.”

Roan looked at Luan. “What can you see?”

Luan focused on his Sacred Eyes before explaining. “As you can see, the environment looks pretty much the same as it did outside. The concealing formation is not here to hide the barrier. Instead…” Luan pointed at several locations, “It is hiding those areas. There are huge amounts of Elemental, Spatial and Divine Energy concentrated inside them.”

Jeskli was satisfied with the answer. He then took another of his blade feather and shot it ten kilometers ahead, exactly at one of the locations Luan just mentioned.

*Crack, crack, crack…*

*Crash!*

The space around the feather suddenly cracked and distorted. At the same time, Light and Fire Elements enveloped the feather and space together, causing it to break even faster. In an instant, Jeskli’s feather was pulverized with the space around.

Jeskli narrowed his eyes. His blade feathers were tempered with countless rare minerals during his many years of life. They were definitely strong enough to be compared to some Peak-Level Golden Equipment. Yet, it was destroyed just like that. “Keep these eyes of yours working.”

Luan obviously agreed. “Leave it to me, senior Jeskli.”

It was at that moment that Roan’s Scythe appeared in his hand. Right after, Dark and Light Element, Scythe Intent, and Sky Energy burst forward as he attacked.

‘Death Style, Death Scythe!’

Rean wasn’t any slower. His Black Star followed suit, taking it as seriously as Roan.

‘Life Fire, Flame Emperor Sword!’

Two all-out slashes of Dark, White, and Red Lights cut forward, catching everyone’s attention.

*Graaaaaaaaaa!*

At first, Jeskli couldn’t see anything. However, Rean and Roan’s attack suddenly hit something hidden in space, forcing it out of its concealment!

It was a creature with two long necks without eyes on the heads. They seemed more like snakes, although there were no scales. Its mouths were open and completely split the head in four, looking more like open flowers with teeth. It was quite grotesque. Dark Blood flowed out from two deep wounds like rivers as the creature was almost eight meters tall.

*Bam, ba, bam, bam…*

The creature contorted on the ground due to its wounds, obviously caused by Rean and Roan’s attacks. It was trying to catch the twins’ group without them noticing, but it failed.

“How did you notice it?” Jeskli couldn’t help but ask.

In fact, even Luan didn’t see the creature until it came out of space. Luan could see the space power around, but not something hidden behind it.

Rean and Roan didn’t lie. “For Roan and I, Killing Intent is a tangible existence. We can see it as a red hue that gets thicker the close it is to its source. As long as Killing Intent is directed at us, we will always notice it. No concealing method works against it.”

Well, it isn’t as useful as it sounds. Ever since the twins reached the Void Tempering Realm, they rarely ever see Killing Intent directed at them. That’s because experts with sharper senses could at least feel when Killing Intents are directed at them. That said, most experts at that level or above would have already learned how to not release it when trying to sneak attack someone. It is very rare for Rean and Roan to see killing intent nowadays when fighting experts at the same level.

Of course, since the twins could see it, they were several times better at dealing with and finding its source than others who could only feel it… as long as it was there. Proof of it was that Jeskli didn’t notice it at all.

“The killing intent this thing is releasing is very subtle, but it is not hidden,” Roan added.

“I see…” Jeskli had never heard about someone capable of seeing killing intent, so he was quite jealous. “You need to teach me how to do it later.”

Rean shrugged his shoulder. “We were born with it. We didn’t learn anything.”

“Tch…” Jeskli obviously got disappointed. Still, he was quite surprised by the attack the twins released. With his senses, he was obviously aware that their attacks far surpassed anything an Elemental Space Realm expert could use. ‘Space-Time Middle… No, it was closer to a Space-Time Realm Late Stage attack,’ he thought.

After a few seconds, the creature finally stopped moving as its life disappeared. Roan’s Dark Element destroyed its life force from inside, after all. “This thing should be at least in the Space-Time Initial Stage. It didn’t die to our attack straight away, and we were not able to cut through it with our combined effort.”

Rean then positioned himself on the left side of their group while Roan stayed on the right. “We will move forward with this formation. Roan and I will keep our eyes out for killing intent while Luan will guide us through a safe path. Senior Jeskli, we will be counting on you in case something too strong for us to fight appears.”

Jeskli nodded. “Fine by me.”

Luan quickly returned his focus ahead and pointed in a direction. “Let’s go through this route. It is not a straight line to the cubic barrier on the top, but it’s the safest one.”

They walked close to each other to stay as far as possible from the dangerous formations.

‘Death Scythe!’

Roan’s scythe moved once again, hitting another empty point in space.

*Graaaaaa!*

Yet, another one of the creatures quickly fell out of it. It’s just that this time, the wound caused by Roan was quite small, showing that this one was even stronger than the previous creature. Roan narrowed his eyes and was just about to attack again when suddenly, several blade feathers passed by his side.

*Putch, putch, putch, putch, putch…*

Jeskli was even faster. As long as he knew where the creature was, he didn’t need to just watch. His blade feather easily pierced through the creature, cutting it into several pieces.

Rean and Roan looked at the end result and had no complaints about it. “That works…”

“Hmph! They will need much more than that to cause us trouble,” Jeskli said.

Yet, it was then that another voice echoed in their ears. “Is that so? Then let me give it a try.”
