Death… And Me Chapter 559 - Can You Be More Shameless?

Chapter 559 - Can You Be More Shameless?

Agis was two stages below Calina and Rean in cultivation, so his attacks were the least destructive. Obviously, as someone extremely prideful, that annoyed him very much. However, what bugged him more than anything else was Roan's Death Style manual.

'How can this s.h.i.t work so well? Even my master's techniques can't use the meridian pathways to such high efficiency. Even though I know that the twins are reincarnations, they came from a place where cultivation didn't exist. Roan said that all of this was due to his own comprehension, but could that be true? Can his understanding make up for hundreds of years spent on the skills taught to me?'

He couldn't be blamed for thinking like that. Agis was not told that Roan was Death, someone who had lived for much, much longer than his now 'dead' Master. Naturally, he found it hard to believe.

However, it was true that the Death Style worked way too well. Agis couldn't fight at Calina and Rean's level. Still, with the Enhancement Skill and Death Style manual, he could definitely unleash power at the peak of the Core Formation Realm.

On Rean's side, he refrained from using Dark Element except for his Sword's. Roan's training schedule always included self-reliance, so Rean was to follow a training schedule where Roan's existence couldn't be put into account. Of course, if things really went south, Rean would use it.

Last but not least, Calina performed just as always. With her Peak Core Formation Realm cultivation, she could battle at the Core and Soul Fusion Realm like Rean. It's just that she wasn't as strong as Rean. Not to mention that she was a weaponless cultivator who only relied on her skills.

'This demon beast's cultivation is only at Initial Stage Four. Nevertheless, it can fight Rean, Agis, and me at the same time. It's definitely at a disadvantage, but not to the point of despair.'

Frandin looked at that battle from far away, trying to not arouse the centipede's attention. Unfortunately, the enormous centipede wasn't the only demon beast there.

*Crack...*

Suddenly, Frandin heard a sound come from behind him. Just as he turned around, he saw a snake demon beast pounce at him.

"Ah!"

*Clang!*

Frandin raised his weapon at the very last moment, just in time to parry the attack. Frandin couldn't help but feel surprised by that. His reaction was much faster than he expected. Obviously, that was because the Enhancement Skill was still active in his body. However, he soon noticed that he didn't completely avoid the last attack. On his shoulder, there was a small cut that began to turn purple.

"Poison!"

He quickly dashed away, trying to leave the snake's range. Only when he came out into a brighter spot did he recognize his a.s.sailant.

"Blood Freezing Python!"

His face turned dark as he understood what this guy's poison meant.

'I need to remove the poison quickly!'

However, the demon beast didn't give him a chance. It immediately attacked again, trying to land its fang in a vital spot.

Of course, Frandin was aware of the demon beast now, so he was able to fight it. However, instead of attacking to kill, he kept thinking about a way to escape. At this moment, he received a Spiritual Sense Message from Rean.

'Stop wasting time. You should have the strength to kill that thing. Also, you better do it quickly. More demon beasts are watching nearby. They just haven't attacked yet because they're afraid of this Stage Four Centipede. Once they decide to come out, they will definitely aim at our group's weakest link, which means you.'

'Bu-but! I have been poisoned by it. If I move too much, the poison will spread further.'

Rean didn't say he could heal him, though.

'And the poison will spread even further if you keep waiting as well. Kill it fast to show the other weaker demon beasts that you're a dangerous target. Otherwise, you're definitely being buried here.'

Frandin gritted his teeth and nodded. Immediately, his bloodline awakened as the mark on his forehead appeared once more. Frandin then began to a.s.sault the Blood Freezing Python with his spear.

'Soul Piercing Trhust!'

At that moment, Rean, Calina, and Agis saw something weird happened. Frandin's spear gathered Wind Element and Spiritual Energy as he thrust it forward. It's just that other than that, Rean's group could see some kind of formless power around it as well. This power was the first thing to hit the Blood Freezing Python before the spear and Wind Element got there.

The Python's movement seemed to become a little slower than usual, which prevented it from moving fast enough to dodge the attack.

*Swish!*

Unfortunately, the Python still avoided a deadly injury with just a few of its scales being ripped off.

*Shhhzzzzz!*

Rean and the others were very curious about what that power was. They heard from Frandin that the Zasfin Race was focused on the soul, but only now did they understand what that meant.

'Was that the Soul Power of their race? I need to test it later.'

Rean then put his focus back on the centipede, who was already covered in injuries. Its movements began to gradually become slower as greenish-blue blood came out of it.

The centipede finally understood that it wouldn't win this battle. With that, it turned around and tried to escape underground once more.

However, Calina faintly smiled when that happened.

"I've been waiting for this."

'Water Prison!'

She had been acc.u.mulating Spiritual Energy and Water Element ever since she noticed that the centipede wouldn't last much longer. Calina just needed an opportunity to use the Water Prison when it wasn't paying attention to her anymore. The moment it tried to escape, it put all its attention on what Rean would do to stop it and forgot her and Agis. The result was it falling into Calina's Water Prison straight away.

This Water Prison was a lot bigger than normal. That's why it took this long for Calina to use. After all, this centipede was far larger than a simple human.

"Now!"

Rean and Agis then entirely focused on attacking, aiming for the joints of the constrained centipede.

'Death Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!'

Usually, the crescent moon would be used for area attacks. However, the centipede was quite big, so Rean used it to cause as much damage as possible. What he didn't expect was that Agis would notice his intention and aimed at the same point as him. Agis didn't use his Fire Element since it would be countered by the Water Prison. Instead, he focused on the Wind Element, which was his second-best one.

'Wind Slicer!'

His sword moved as fast as he could and hit the same point as Rean's Crescent Moon a fraction of a second later, boosting Rean's own attack!

*Swich!*

With both attacks and Calina's restraint, the centipede's body was cut in half through its carapace's joint.

'As expected of a Red Color Talent, I guess?'

Surprisingly, the centipede didn't die straight away. It used the attack's power to get itself out of the Water Prison and tried to escape with the rest of its body. Unfortunately, it didn't even have half of its strength left in that condition, so Rean, Agis, and Calina were able to keep it around.

*SSShhhhhzzzzzz!*

Eventually, Rean landed a killing blow on its head with the Death Style's Stellar Piercer. It entered through the centipede's eye and destroyed its brain. Naturally, the demon beast's body fell on the ground right after.

"Phew... It seems like we will be in for a lot of fun during our travel to Tuvaro Empire."

Calina and Agis nodded.

"That's what we expected anyway. Roan wouldn't have dropped us in this place if it wasn't useful for us."

Rean then looked at Frandin, who was now trying to survive three demon beasts at the same time. In the end, he failed to give a killing blow to the Python, so weaker demon beasts joined in the attack to try to take him down. The only reason he was still alive was that these demon beasts weren't exactly friends. They also attacked each other, trying to get rid of the compet.i.tion.

By now, Frandin's body was completely purple and blue. From the looks of it, the poison spread over all his body.

Seeing that, Rean sighed as he moved forward. As for Calina and Agis, they went to the centipede's body to take its demon core from its head.

'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

Sure enough, demon beasts that Frandin could stay alive against wouldn't be a problem for Rean. In a single attack, he took all three of them down. As for the rest that was still watching, they immediately ran away after seeing Rean's power.

Frandin then fell to the ground as he bitterly smiled.

"Hehe... It's too late now. The poison spread through my entire body and entered the vital organs."

Rean was surprised to see that. Frandin, this twenty-something-year-old grown man, was crying now that he 'knew' he would die.

"It's all your fault!"

Rean, on the other hand, couldn't help but burst out in laugher.

"Hahaha! Indeed, it was my fault. However, I wasn't the main culprit. The main culprit was none other than yourself. You're dying because you're weak. It's as simple as that."

Frandin gritted his teeth but couldn't come up with an excuse. He quickly wiped his tears and said.

"Just end it, will you?"

Rean nodded.

"Sure."

Frandin then closed his eyes, waiting to be killed. However...

'Life Style, Third Form, Purification!'

Rean healed the poison in his body in just a minute. It could have been faster, but Rean had to deal with Roan's poison as well.

"Look! It's a miracle! I've awakened a super ability capable of healing you in the very last second! Isn't that great?!"

Calina's mouth twitched as she thought.

'Can you be more shameless?'
