Death… And Me

Chapter 1034 - Perfect Training Partners

Ludio didn\'t understand what was going on. Soon after the Free For All Battle started, Rean approached him to talk. He was obviously afraid of Rean after what happened in the previous contest, so he wanted nothing more than to stay far away.

Seeing Ludio\'s face, Rean sighed as he said, "Come on! You know that it was an accident. You also had a part in it when you defended that attack of mine in that way. I was aiming at your stomach. Besides, you saw that I healed the last guy before he died, right? Even if I had cut it out, I could put it back."

Ludio couldn\'t help but ask in response, "Doesn\'t that mean you can torture someone practically forever?"

"How the hell did you come up with such dark thoughts? Are you really part of the Yote Race who\'s blessed with extra luck?" Rean could not help but say in response to his words.

Ludio scratched the back of his head after that. "I\'ve always been like this, sorry."

Rean nodded, telling him, "It\'s fine. All you need to know is that I have no bad intentions towards you."

Ludio then looked around, feeling uncomfortable. "Then, couldn\'t you have waited for the assembly to be over to come to me? Everyone knows who you and your brother are now. Look, the people around us don\'t know if they should pay attention to the battle or to the two of us."

Rean had to admit Ludio was right. "My bad, my bad. I just couldn\'t wait anymore to come to talk with you. Now then, you still haven\'t given me your answer. Who do you think will win, Roan or the others?"

Ludio looked at the situation on the scream before answering, "Well, you and your brother\'s cultivation seem to have little impact in this competition. Besides, I feel like your brother is a lot more focused on battle than you. I think...he probably will win this."

As soon as Ludio said that, Rean noticed the fairy that was sitting in the distance getting close. Not only was he able to see her, but he could also more or less feel a connection between Ludio and the fairy. \'Is his luck acting up again? Hard to say since Roan probably wouldn\'t lose even without luck involved. Well, I guess it\'ll only reinforce this outcome.\'

Back inside the Free For All Battle, Roan and everyone else was jumping and rolling everywhere, trying to avoid the projectiles. At the same time, they sent whatever attacks they could to their nearest enemies. Two of those guys then jumped straight into Roan\'s Death World. Unlike the cultivators who lost until now, they were confident in their own strength.

Seeing that only made Roan smile, though. \'That\'s more like it!\'

Suddenly, Roan\'s Death World disappeared, revealing his position. "Come!"

Roan made it very clear to Rean before the assembly started. He joined it basically because he wanted to test his strength with the restrictions of the Realm of Gods. Those two just so happened to be perfect training partners.

\'Myriad Lighting Chasers!\'

Wisps of lightning appeared around the first cultivator, Hunfe, before heading in Roan\'s direction. Those wisps of lighting seemed small, but they definitely carried the power to seriously injure or even kill the opponent.

\'Blast Origin!\'

Fire and Wind Element moved together with the second cultivator\'s weapon, a guy called Gian, gathering into a single point as the attack came down on Roan.

It was then that two more Roans appeared behind the original, sending themselves towards the Lightning Chasers of Hunfe.

\'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!\'

That was the first time that more than one clone from Roan appeared in front of everyone\'s eyes. So far, he had been using them while he himself kept hidden.

However, neither of the attackers thought about it for too long. Since they started the battle, they had to bring it to an end.

While Roan\'s clones went to fight the lightning guy, Roan himself shot in Gian\'s direction.

\'Death Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!\'

This time, Divine Energy and Soul Power were free to use. With that said, Roan\'s Crescent Moon was a great wave of Light and Dark Element, as well as Divine Soul Power. It was guided through Roan\'s White Star, crashing against the Blast Origin attack of his opponent.

*Boom!*

A huge explosion followed the attacks, creating a shockwave that forced Gian back.

"What?!"

Gian couldn\'t believe it. He had used his strongest attack, and he was in the Middle Stage of the Saint Realm. Even with that, Roan\'s attack was enough to match his own in power even though Roan was an entire realm below him.

Gian wasn\'t the only one surprised. Roan\'s two clones also defended against Hunfe\'s Lightning Chasers using the Reversive Arcs.

However, Gian didn\'t have time to think much about it as another projectile came flying in his direction. Because of the shockwave, he only had enough time to raise his weapon to block it in the last second.

*Clang!*

The projectiles were really strong and fast at this point, so he was sent back even further by its power. "This annoying thing."

However, little did he know that he was the only one who was knocked back due to the explosion of his attack with Roan\'s attack. After all, Roan had used the Crescent Moon, which was a wide-area attack.

*Grab!*

Suddenly, Gian noticed that his leg was caught by something, quickly noticing that it looked like some kind of dark vine. "Not good!"

"No. It\'s very good!" an ice-cold voice replied.

\'Death Style, First Energy Form, Shadow Bind!\'

A skill Roan hadn\'t used in quite a while since he got the ability to fly was activated. However, in the Realm of Gods, it was impossible to fly before the Transition Realm. Naturally, this skill became very useful again...like now!

Gian tried to cut the vine. However, Roan was already close enough.

\'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!\'

*Spurt!*

The ray of Light and Dark Element pierced through Gian\'s heart, leaving just a huge hole behind. Gian thought about giving up for a moment there. Too bad his pride didn\'t allow him to open his mouth.. His own death came as a result.
