Death… And Me

Chapter 666 - Leaving

The initial plan wasn\'t for Rean and Roan to appear together, only one of them. However, they decided that they might as well appear together. Because they had Light and Dark Element affinities and were twins, they could use it as an excuse for their high Soul Purity.

Time soon passed, with nothing happening on the first day. But on the second, a few people in the city noticed a shadow appearing in the sky. Slowly, it got bigger and bigger until finally, the shadow attracted everyone\'s attention. It then broke through the anti-weather formation and stopped right above the Asume Clan\'s estate.

It was some kind of enormous airship. The ship alone was bigger than the Asume Clan Estate itself. Rean and Roan looked at it and couldn\'t help but feel amazed. This was the first time they had seen any flying vehicle on both planets. Let alone one as ridiculously big as this one.

"Man, these Soul Rulers are incredibly wealthy," said Rean as he looked up.

"That much is obvious. Still, isn\'t this too much of a big entrance? Their presence was supposed to be kind of a secret, no?" Roan also could not help but comment.

Well, the powers in the city could simply come up with any excuse for the populace later, and they would have no choice but to accept.

Suddenly, a few Zasfins appeared on the deck of the airship before jumping down. Sumeri was already outside, waiting for the Soul Rulers. Rean and Roan, obviously, were by her side, pretending to be respectful.

"Welcome to my Asume Clan, friends." Sumeri then bowed to them, trying to act as politely as possible.

There were two men and one woman in this small group. They didn\'t seem very interested in Sumeri. Instead, they looked around, trying to find any human children. However, they couldn\'t find any, so they finally asked, "Where are the humans with high Soul Purity?"

Sumeri nodded as she pointed to Rean and Roan on her side, replying, "Here they are. These friends can go ahead and check their Soul Purity."

"What?!" In an instant, the aloof expression on the Soul Rulers\' faces disappeared as it was replaced by shock. "Impossible! Do you know what it means to fool our organization?"

Sumeri felt a chill on her back but quickly recovered. She then smiled as she took out the deep blue oval gem and passed it to Rean and Roan, telling the two, "Go ahead, touch it."

Rean and Roan, who also pretended to be scared of the Soul Ruler\'s previous outburst, quickly nodded and touched the gem. Sure enough, it shone brightly with a faint blue color.

"I can\'t believe it..." the woman was the first one to talk.

"Indeed. Adult humans with high Soul Purity. It\'s the first time I\'ve seen one, let alone two," one of the men followed.

The second man was even more impressed, saying, "That\'s not all. Look at how bright the Purity Gem is shining. Have you ever seen any human kid with this level of Soul Purity?"

The woman then took a deep breath and smiled as she landed on the ground, saying, "Sumeri Asume, am I right? I\'m Gila Joskri. Excellent job in finding these humans. Tell me, where did they come from?"

Sumeri then glanced at Rean and Roan for a moment before explaining, "My clan doesn\'t treat humans as badly as others, so we give shelter to them every now and then. These two seemed to hear the rumors about us and asked us to let them stay. Surprisingly, we were doing the human kids\' Soul Purity Check that we do every year. We then asked them to help us and had them bring the gem to the human quarters. However, when one of the twins touched it, the gem immediately activated. Because they were twins, I had the other one try it as well, and sure enough, the same thing happened."

"I see...so you don\'t know where they came from," said one of the men as he approached the twins. "By the way, you can call me Ren Zolfin." He then smiled at Sumeri, showing his satisfaction.

The last guy didn\'t seem to care about the reasons, saying in a rush, "Does it matter how they found these humans? The fact is that they have the Soul Purity we need. Whatever they might be, it\'s not of big concern. Once the Soul Rulers are involved, no one else can do anything about it." It was obvious that he wanted to leave as soon as possible.

The woman then sighed after hearing that, responding, "You aren\'t wrong, Vio, but we need to understand how these twins came to be. Perhaps we can create a method to give birth to more of them in the future." Soon after, she turned her attention back to Sumeri, asking, "Do you have any idea why they have this level of Soul Purity?"

Sumeri pretended to ponder a bit before mentioning something, "I do have an idea..." She turned to the twins after that and gave them an order. "Show these friends your Elemental Affinity."

Sure enough, Rean and Roan immediately gathered Light and Dark Element around them, which surprised the three Soul Rulers.

"Light and Dark!"

"To think they would be born with a rare Elemental Affinity."

"I have never seen or heard anyone with this kind of Elemental Affinity before."

Gila took a deep breath after her second shock, saying, "That makes things difficult. There\'s no way we can replicate their situation in the real world since it\'s extremely rare for anyone to be born outside of the five main elements. Nevertheless, we did get humans with some other Elemental Affinity in the past. However, none of them had advantages in Soul Purity, nor did they keep their Soul Purity until adulthood."

Vio and Ren nodded as one of them continued, "Which means...it might have something to do with the fact that they\'re twins with uncommon Elemental Affinities. Simply put, there is no way we can replicate such a thing. Of course, we\'ll need to do a few tests, but I find it very difficult to replicate their case."

Sumeri didn\'t know what they were talking about. However, she didn\'t dare to ask either. Rean and Roan, however, knew very well what it was all about. Of course, they also kept quiet and didn\'t intervene, pretending to be good human slaves.

Gila noticed that they began to talk too much, so she changed the topic. "Oh well, we can check it out later. For now, let\'s head back to the headquarters with these twins." Soon after, she looked at Sumeri, saying, "You did a very good job in finding these ones. Not only are there two of them, but they\'re a true rarity! Your rewards will surely be plenty. Becoming the sole ruler of this city wouldn\'t be hard after that."

Sumeri quickly bowed with an excited expression, responding, "Thank you very much! I wish these friends a safe journey back."

Gila nodded as she enveloped the twins with her Spiritual Energy. Soon after, she and the other two guys flew back to their airship. In the end, those guys simply didn\'t care where the twins came from or if they had any background. They considered themselves the sole ruling power of the Zasfin World, so they didn\'t even bother thinking if it could be some trap or anything like that. Even if it was, their organization would simply trample over whoever was trying to find problems with them.

On the ground, close to the Asume Clan, Firmel looked as the Soul Rulers brought the twins away. Deep down, he couldn\'t help but wish as he thought, \'If we get really lucky, perhaps my son can even join the Soul Rulers, which will be even better than any Celestial Land.\'

In other parts of the city, the other clans looked at that with jealousy. Their leaders knew who those Zasfins were. Naturally, they understood that the Asume Clan was lucky enough to find human kids with a high level of Soul Purity. Well, the one that regretted it the most was definitely the Portin Clan. After all, they had the chance to be the ones calling the Soul Ruler. However, they gave up on Frandin as soon as the Imperial Guardians appeared, unlike the Asume Clan.

Ye Portin, who observed all of that, couldn\'t help but sigh as he thought, \'At least we aren\'t enemies with the Asume Clan. I better make sure that my clan members don\'t find a problem with them from now on.\'

Other clans also had the same idea, afraid that offending the Asume Clan would also offend the Soul Rulers. And just like that, within just a few minutes, the Asume Clan became an untouchable power in Vanesi City.

Following that, the airship of the Soul Ruler took flight once more, leaving the city\'s formation as it soon disappeared in the distance.
