Death… And Me

Chapter 795 - I Must Be Tired

Phex and Frin felt chills behind their backs after hearing that. "Ahem...you do know that Fikin and the other ancestors are in a similar level of power as us, right? Defeating them is one thing, but killing..."

Phex and Frin were confident in their strength. However, they weren\'t delusional. They were well aware that killing any of the ancestors would be a nigh-impossible task. Though, the same could be said about themselves.

However, Roan looked at them as if they were a bunch of idiots. "I wonder how you\'re still considered the Demon Beast Alliance\'s leaders. Can you be any worse than that?"

Phex and Frin\'s mouths twitched after hearing that, instantly feeling like smashing Roan\'s head in. They were Peak Stage Nine Divine Demon Beasts, while Roan was just a puny Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. When was the last time when they were humiliated by such an ant? "You better control your mouth, little guy. Demon beasts aren\'t very good at swallowing insults."

Roan couldn\'t care less, though. "Hmph! Then stop to think before opening your mouth. Alright, I\'ll give you one more chance. What is it that you have that the Zasfins don\'t?"

Frin and Phex went silent straight away. What is it that they have? The Demon Beast Army? No, that\'s not the case. The Bestial Sacred Ground? That can\'t be it either since they couldn\'t bring it from its location. It was then that Phex remembered the time they were attacked in the underwater palace, instantly saying, "Ah! That, that...that might actually work!"

Frin wasn\'t in the underwater palace back then, but he knew what happened. Nevertheless, he was still puzzled as he hastily asked, "What is it? What is it?! Don\'t leave me hanging like that!"

Roan nodded in satisfaction as he continued, "It seems like you\'ve understood the point here. You can keep coming back to fight at peak condition, but what about the Zasfins\' ancestors?"

"Come back to fight at peak condition?" Frin was even more puzzled now.

Roan sighed after hearing Frin\'s dilemma and soon began to explain to him. "When Stage Nine Demon Beasts and cultivators at the same level battle, they\'re bound to leave the area injured and weakened. Unless you\'re successful in an ambush or something like that, both sides will definitely sustain some damage," Roan explained. "The problem is that experts of your level would take a very long time to recover...or so was the case before. However, you have Rean and me."

Phex nodded as he continued where Roan left off, saying, "Injuries that I would have taken a few months to recover were done within just four hours. Even Darian\'s blood loss was replenished in record time. Usually, he would need years, if not decades, due to his age and level. But it only took weeks, thanks to them. If we use this to our advantage, we can keep attacking, attacking, and attacking even more."

Roan agreed with Phex, saying, "Exactly. It doesn\'t matter who will get defeated in the first few battles against the Zasfins. As long as you succeed in injuring the Zasfins, that\'ll be more than enough. They probably have pills and things like that to help them recover, but just how rare and hard are they to concoct? In your case, Rean or I can simply use Light Element to resolve everything. Of course, Rean is much better at this task than I am."

Frin couldn\'t help but ask, "If that\'s the case, why would we stop after simply taking a few of the good territories? We can literally dominate the entire world after we defeat all the Zasfin ancestors."

Phex and Roan immediately shook their heads, saying in unison, "That would be a terrible idea."

"Why?" Frin couldn\'t see the problem with that.

Roan then explained first. "What\'s the point of a planet where only a single power reigns?" Roan then pointed at the Zasfins\' side. "Have you not seen just how weak the Zasfins that lacked battle experience was? If not because of the foundation in their territories, we wouldn\'t even need to do such a thing. If you really take everything, the demon beasts will lose a common enemy. It might look nice at first, but it\'s detrimental in the long run."

Phex agreed with Roan as he said, "Not only that, but demon beasts aren\'t very good at delicate tasks like formations, pill making, and so on. If we get rid of Zasfins, we would also be unable to get such items as we did before in the Demon Beast Cities."

"Last but not least, demon beasts, humans, and Zasfins can develop much faster when they have someone to fight against. You can look at the humans who live in the Demon Beast Continent. They only make up a small amount of the continent\'s population, but each of them is much stronger than a similarly leveled Zasfin as long as the Zasfins don\'t use their Soul Marks. If the humans had Soul Marks, they could totally trash the Zasfins at the same level." Roan then looked at Frin with a serious expression as he asked, "Do you really want the demon beasts to turn out like that?"

Frin scratched the back of his head with his paw-like hand, muttering in a whimper, "No..."

Phex then thought about something else as he soon asked, "Wait! If Rean is so important to this plan like you said, then why did you send him to Watisan City? Are you crazy?"

Roan shrugged his shoulders as he replied, "It had to be him or me. No one else would work. Only if it came from our mouths would Sevinia accept it."

Phex and Frin were taken aback as they simultaneously asked, "Why?"

Roan faintly smiled before dropping another bomb, telling them, "Because it was us who destroyed their Bloodline Trial Control Formations and took Celis away. Well, we sent almost the entire headquarters to the sky in the process."

Phex immediately laughed out loud after that. "Hahaha! I must be going crazy." He then looked at Frin, saying, "Can you believe that I heard they destroyed the Soul Rulers\' headquarters and kidnapped Celis? They, two Nascent Soul Realm humans...I must be tired..."

Frin\'s expression was weird as he replied, "That\'s such a coincidence. I could swear I heard the same thing as you did."
