Death… And Me

Kentucky immediately confirmed, nodding. "It is... it will rain down above our position if it continues to break apart."

Roan then commented after that, "It seems like this is how the Fallen Light Star Fragments end up in the third level. With that, I wonder where that thing comes from. After all, it\'s definitely not a real star. It\'s more like a meteorite that received a huge amount of Light Element for some reason."

Rean agreed with Roan, saying, "Indeed. If you look at the Fallen Light Star Fragments we got so far, the materials they\'re made of aren\'t exactly the same. I\'m just curious as to what could make these meteorites transform into items made out of pure Light Element."

After that, Rean\'s group watched it get closer and closer as they stood still. They could simply collect the fragments once they hit the ground. Even if the cultivators from the top ten powers appeared, they wouldn\'t care about it too much. No one among them cared about Light Element materials, after all.

However, it was then that Kentucky noticed something far off in the distance, thanks to his better eyesight. "Hey... isn\'t that Hurio\'s sister?"

Hurio and Lilia\'s hearts skipped a beat as they immediately looked in the direction Kentucky pointed at. However, all they could see were some small dots and nothing else. They didn\'t have the same level of sight as Kentucky, after all. "Are you sure? Can you see the rest of our people there? Is Elder Lamanto there?"

Kentucky shook his head as he replied, "I\'m not sure. I can only tell that your sister seemed to be on top of a building not much smaller than ours. I have no idea what she\'s trying to do, though."

Rean pondered in silence for a bit before asking, "Did she see us as well?"

Kentucky shook his head, telling him, "I doubt so. I only noticed her because there seemed to be some white light flickering around her body. We\'re not doing anything that could catch her attention, so she shouldn\'t have perceived our presence yet."

Hurio and Lilia were obviously more affected by the news, so Roan asked, "Do you know what she\'s doing?"

Hurio shook his head, answering Roan\'s question. "No. The specifics of what would happen in the Lost Star Realm were kept secret from Lilia and me."

Lilia confirmed Hurio\'s words, adding, "Indeed. Even though I was also chosen to come along in this expedition, only Mira and Lamanto were told what we would be doing. I wasn\'t even sure whether we would even get into the third level or not."

"Let\'s wait and see, then," Rean said. "Kentucky can watch from afar and tell us what\'s happening. If you feel like you want to go and talk to her, then you can go there after finding out what she\'s doing."

Hurio and Lilia nodded after hearing that. "Alright." Lilia didn\'t mind doing that anymore because they had Sally now. Mira told her before they separated that whatever they were doing was very dangerous. That\'s why Hurio wasn\'t supposed to be part of it, which was also the reason why she agreed to force Hurio to follow her.

Kentucky then began to tell the others with Divine Sense what he was seeing. \'The light around Mira\'s body is now rising to the skies. Oh, I can see the others now. They\'re positioned all around Mira in some pattern. Hmm... I believe they\'re activating some kind of formation.\'

\'Wait! The light coming from Mira\'s body is heading in the direction of the falling star.\'

Rean\'s group immediately looked up after that, and sure enough, they saw a beam of light heading straight for the Fallen Light Star Meteorite, the same meteorite that was on the verge of breaking apart. However, at the very moment the beam of light touched it, it seemed to want to change direction. From the looks of it, it was making its way to where Mira and her group were located.

\'Oh! The meteorite was full of cracks just a moment ago. However, the cracks are being melded as it continues to fall. On top of that, its speed is continuing to increase. It has already surpassed 300 kilometers per hour... 350 kilometers per hour... 400 kilometers per hour...\' It wasn\'t hard for Kentucky to judge its speed at all.

Eventually, the meteorite was moving so fast that it had also turned into a beam of light in their eyes. \'Is Mira trying to kill herself and her group?\'

Hurio and Lilia shook their heads in response. \'Definitely not. There has to be a reason why she\'s using the Light Star Meteorite.\'

Kentucky nodded, saying, \'In any case, brace yourselves. It has already gone past 1000 kilometers per hour in speed. In the next few seconds, it\'s bound to hit the building where your sister and the others are on top of.\'

Surprisingly, Kentucky was right. The Light Star Meteorite reached the building not long after and was ready to destroy it with its impact. Even if it was less than a meter in diameter, the momentum behind it could already cause huge damage. For some reason, Mira and her group didn\'t move at all, as if wishing to be hit by the meteorite.

However, just as the impact was about to happen, the meteorite seemed to burst into bright light for a fraction of a second. It was so bright that even Kentucky had to turn his eyes away. Soon after... nothing!

With his better eyesight, Kentucky noticed that the burst of light had disappeared in an instant and immediately looked back at the top of the building. \'What?! Where is the meteorite? No, wait! Where are Mira and the others? They disappeared!\'

Indeed.. The top of the building was empty while Mira\'s group was now gone.
