Death… and me

Chapter 560: Lumeria City



Chapter 560: Lumeria City

Of course, Frandin wasn’t an idiot. He immediately understood that Rean had a way to heal him from the very start. It’s just that he didn’t mention it.

However, just as Frandin was about to complain, Rean stuffed another pill down to his throat. Frandin couldn’t do anything since the difference in cultivation between him and Rean was just way too high. Soon, the pill melted and was absorbed by his body.

“Sorry, sorry. To get rid of the Blood Freezing Python, I had to get rid of Roan’s poison as well. Naturally, I had to give you a new one. But look on the bright side, the time it’ll take for the pill to take effect has now reset. Isn’t that great?!”

Frandin’s mouth twitched as he inwardly shouted.

‘Great, your ass!’

Or so he wanted to say, but he didn’t dare to.

“Alright, let’s get going. These things are far from the only demon beasts we will find since we’re showing our presence on purpose.”

Calina and Agis nodded in response. Rean then used his Enhancement Skill on Frandin, and soon enough, they restarted their run.

Rean’s group wasn’t the only one battling at the moment. Roan’s group also encountered a few demon beasts on their own. Not only that but there were more demon beasts on their side during the fight. Of course, Roan’s group was the stronger group, so they still managed to take the beasts down despite having received quite a few injuries. In any case, Roan was quite satisfied with the level of demon beasts in this area.

‘The training will smoothly proceed if it continues like this. Very good.’

On the way out of the Core of this Demon Beast Region, Rean’s group encountered four more demon beasts at the Stage Four level. In one of the cases, they had to run away since the demon beast was a Late Stage Four beast. If Rean used Roan’s Dark Element at that incident, he might have been able to hold that down. However, defeating it would be way too hard and dangerous, so they fled away.

Eventually, Rean’s group arrived at the Core Region border, where they eventually separated from each other. Agis and Calina knew their way back anyway, so Rean simply left them behind as he proceeded to Lumeria City with Frandin.

Fradin, on the other hand, was trembling already. Every single battle seemed to be a life-and-death situation for him. He wanted to escape several times, but doing so would only guarantee his death to either the poison or other demon beasts. One could imagine how relieved he became once he left that area.

From that point onwards, the cultivation of the demon beasts fell a lot. At Rean’s level, even this Planet’s Stage Three ones weren’t an issue for him anymore. Let alone those below it. Thanks to that, he and Frandin made their way out quite quickly.

Along the way, Rean and Frandin passed by two other Zasfin groups. However, Rean concealed his cultivation with his Spiritual Sense while he used Frandin to pretend to be his owner. One of the groups thought Frandin was an idiot for bringing ‘his’ humans together.

As for the second one, they noticed that Frandin was a Pure Bloodline Zasfin. Because of that, they decided to attack, hoping that Frandin had something good for them to loot. Unfortunately, they were swiftly dispatched by Rean without mercy.

After an entire day of travel, Rean and Frandin reached the border of the Demon Beast Region. That was also the place where one could find Lumeria City’s entrance. This was a city famous for being close to the demon beasts. Zasfin cultivators liked to come here for training as well. It’s just that almost no one dared to go to the Core Region. They couldn’t be blamed since Zasfins at the Core and Soul Fusion Realm were much rarer than human ones back in Sunkan Planet.

Rean quickly hid his cultivation with his Spiritual Sense bending skills. After that, he put one of those collars that were supposed to be used on humans before heading to the gate with Frandin. Of course, he also changed both his and Frandin’s real appearance.

“One Rank One Demon Core or two Rank One Spirit Stones.”

Frandin nodded as he took Spirit Stones out of his bag. Rean and Roan had already verified it, but there were only Rank One Spirit Stones there. Those rank of Spirit Stones offered almost no help for Rean’s group anymore, so they simply left it with Frandin.

After paying for it, Rean and Frandin finally entered Lumeria City. Rean took the chance to use a Spiritual Sense Message.

‘So, Frandin. I need Spirit Stones for cultivation. Do you know a good way to earn them?’

Frandin nodded as he replied.

‘I do, but they’re only Rank One Spirit Stones. Would that be fine for you?’

Rean shook his head as he said.

‘To be worth our time, I need it to be at least Rank Two Spirit Stones.’

Frandin narrowed his eyes as he pondered. Rank Two Spirit Stones were very hard to obtain. This planet was lacking in Spiritual Energy. Naturally, its Spirit Stone Deposits were of lower quality as well. The Rank Two Spirit Stones of this place were as hard to get as Rank Three ones back in Sunkan.

‘Hmm… I can think up a few methods. The fastest one would definitely be the Arena. You can bet Spirit Stones and wait for the others to come. If you win, you get everything.’

Rean shook his head as he could not help but say.

‘That won’t do. You’re too weak, so we’ll lose everything.’

Frandin’s mouth twitched in response. He wasn’t weak at all! It’s just that Rean and his group were freaks from another world!

They walked through the city for a while when suddenly, Rean saw something that interested him.

‘Right! An auction! Frandin, I want you to put these items in the auction.’

Rean then passed five Spiritual Weapons. When Frandin used his Spiritual Sense to check them, he was shocked.

‘Earth Middle Level Spiritual Weapons! Five of them at that! These things are worth a fortune!’

Rean smiled, already expecting that. Without a doubt, this planet also had issues with Spiritual Materials for forging. One didn’t need to be a genius to know that Spiritual Equipment would be worth a lot more in this place.

‘A-Are you sure you want to put them to sell? They’re incredibly hard to get. We might also attract some undesired attention.’

Rean nodded, not minding at all.

‘Don’t worry, it’s just some low-level equipment. I can forge as many of them as I want. As for undesired attention, I can deal with it on my own.’

The more Frandin interacted with Rean and Roan, the more he reviewed his concepts about humans. It already became ridiculous just how many things Rean’s group could do. Well, that was only in this Culo Planet.

Frandin then took a deep breath and nodded. Still, there was one thing he couldn’t understand.

‘Just where the hell did you bring these weapons from? I haven’t seen you carrying them at all.’

Rean laughed before saying.

‘Then… You’re blind!’

The Auction House operated once per week, and it had been four days since the last time. Usually, an auction house wouldn’t open so often. However, because Lumeria City was a gathering hub of Zasfin Cultivators coming for training, there were always many new things for sale.

There was a special entrance for customers who wished to sell their things in the auction house. Rean and Frandin quickly entered it and were guided to a private room where an old man was waiting for them.

“Welcome, sir. If you wish, our members can take care of your human while we negotiate.”

Frandin shook his head.

“There’s no need.”

Like hell would he ask to bring Rean away.

“Very well. What does this customer wish to put in the auction?”

Frandin then took a deep breath, took the five weapons that Rean gave him, and put them on the table. As soon as the old man checked them with his Spiritual Sense, his eyes lit up.

“Oh! Earth Middle-Level Weapons. Three swords, one spear, and a pair of dual daggers.”

The man couldn’t help but take a deep look at Frandin. As far as he could see, Frandin shouldn’t have such things in his hands. Rean and Frandin could tell what he was thinking, though. That being said, Frandin immediately activated his bloodline power and made his mark appear on his forehead.

“I see… So this customer is a pure Zasfin bloodline. Now everything makes sense. May I ask where you came from?”

Frandin shook his head as he asked.

“Is this a must?”

The man quickly shook his head, replying.

“Of course not! I was just curious. Pardon me for being insensitive.”

Still, the man was curious since these weapons were quite a big deal for an Initial Stage Foundation Establishment Realm Zasfin to be carrying around. Nevertheless, that was not his problem.

“Alright. The swords will have an initial price of 200 Rank Two Spirit Stones each. The spear will be 250. As for the dual daggers, 175. Is that good enough for you?”

Rean immediately sent Frandin a Spiritual Sense Message.

‘That’s good enough. Also, ask something else for me…’

Frandin then nodded.

“That’s more than good enough. Also, am I able to use the weapons’ price to buy something in the auction?”

The old man confirmed.

“Absolutely. I’ll give you a token that will allow you to bid for other items up to your weapons price.”

Frandin then took the token and turned around to leave.

“I’ll be back on auction day.”

The appraiser smiled as he answered.

“We will be waiting for you. By the way, you can call me Paciu.”

Rean and Frandin nodded and quickly left the room. However, as soon as they did that, the old man called someone in.

“Find out who they are.”

Without saying anything, the new guy left without a trace.
