Death… And Me

Chapter 1082 - Advice

Roan, Fatax, and Eminia quickly jumped on the Demon Bird before Rean asked it to take flight. Not too long after, Rean used Sienna\'s Fairy Essence Pearl to pass through the barrier once again.

Back in the tree at the center of the fairies\' territory, Rana looked at them with her Divine Sense. In the end, she sighed while thinking, \'Sigh...to think that such a thing was possible. Then again, how come I couldn\'t control their karma threads? There seemed to be something blocking my ability to touch them at all. Could it be that their luck can\'t be manipulated?\'

Rana had offered Rean and Roan her blessing so that she could have one of her faeries follow them. However, she was lying about that fairy being able to increase their luck. She just wanted someone to report to her how the twins were doing. \'Well, something tells me that this wouldn\'t be the last time I\'ll see them.\' Rana then stopped using her Divine Sense once Rean\'s group got too far away.

While Rean was flying over the Erqs Forest, he took the chance to ask Eminia something else. "Now that Langara gave you everything, including her last powers, does that mean you\'re the most talented member of your clan?"

Eminia, who still had a sad expression, wasn\'t sure about that. "Now that you said it, I\'m not sure. From what I can see through the Matriarch\'s memories, it was the devouring process that increased the hosts\' talents. However, Thicket\'s skill was far from letting a soul eat another. For example, there was no pain involved."

Fatax couldn\'t help but ask, "Do you guys have an Aptitude Measuring Orb with you?"

Roan had to admit he was also curious, so he quickly took one out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. "Here you go."

Eminia caught it and was just about to try when Rean asked something else. "Wait! What was your aptitude color before? I want to compare."

Eminia nodded before responding, "I wasn\'t anything impressive. My Aptitude Color was just yellow. As the Matriarch told you before, someone with a purer bloodline doesn\'t mean they would have higher talent. I\'m...well, at least I\'m a prime example of that. I don\'t know if it has changed, so I need to check."

Fatax, Rean, and Roan then looked at Eminia\'s attempt. The orb then shone for a moment before the surface color finally began to change. Not long after, a deep purple color was reflected in their eyes.

"Wow!" Rean couldn\'t help but feel impressed. "No wonder your Clan Head wanted your Matriarch\'s soul so much! You went straight from a Yellow Color Talent to a Purple Color Talent. That\'s the highest aptitude there is."

Fatax and Eminia were also left speechless by that sight. They did expect a good increase in talent, perhaps going up to green or blue, and, if lucky, red. But to head straight to purple, and a very deep color at that, that was something that far surpassed their expectations.

Roan then warned the two. "I don\'t know if it\'s a good idea for you two to head back to your clan. Is there anyone with similar talent to yours back there?"

Eminia quickly shook her head. "Not as far as the Matriarch\'s memories go. We have two Red Color Talents, both on the Clan Head\'s side. These two were also the ones the Clan Head intended to use the Matriarch\'s soul on most likely."

Roan nodded after hearing that. "Then, you have even more of a reason to not go there. Change your appearances or go somewhere far away. If you head back and they find your new aptitude, considering you\'re part of the opposition\'s power, the Clan Head might try to get rid of you first."

Rean agreed with Roan. "The ice block is right. He obviously knows that it was the two of you who were involved with Langara. With that being said, he would need to be an idiot to not think about testing your aptitudes once you\'re back. Now that your side of the clan lost the Matriarch, it\'s an even more dangerous moment for you to go back."

Fatax and Eminia looked at each other. "But...we have never lived outside of the clan before."

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "There\'s a first time for everything. Come on! You\'re both in the Soul Transformation Realm already. You\'re also adults on top of that! I refuse to believe you can\'t take care of yourselves. Anyway, that\'s just an idea. If you still want to go back, Roan and I won\'t stop you."

Fatax pondered over it as Eminia was clearly not very happy with that option. "Are you worried about our parents?"

Eminia nodded in response. "Wouldn\'t they be impacted by what happened?"

Roan then added, "This is another reason for you to disappear. Since Langara died, they might think you died as well. Or could it be you also have Soul Flames left in the clan?"

Fatax and Eminia shook their heads. "Our cultivations are too low. Creating a Soul Flame for us was not worth the cost."

"Then it will be most likely fine." Roan continued, "If you disappear just like Langara did, they can only think you\'re all dead. The Realm of Gods is too big. Just head somewhere else. One day, once you\'re strong enough, you can come back to check on them."

Rean smiled at them. "That\'s true. Besides, if you go back, you would put them in a lot more danger as they might be used to control Eminia. You should really take Roan\'s advice."

Fatax looked at Eminia, who nodded in the end. "Alright, thank you for letting us know. We will leave for the time being."

Fatax patted Eminia\'s head after that, telling her, "Then, we need to find a good place to go.. We can check for one once we arrive in the city."
