Death… And Me

However, Globian didn\'t have time to think about an answer. He immediately noticed that Rean used his Light Element and his own soul to follow that connection created by the needle and Foliana\'s blood. Rean wanted to use his own soul to get rid of Globian!

Yet, Globian quickly calmed down and snorted. \'Ha! Idiot! Even if I was just a sleeve of a Spiritual Sense, I was able to use the rich Spiritual Energy in this place to grow in strength during all these years! I\'m pretty much a new soul now! Not to mention, I\'m the Spiritual Sense of a Peak Stage Transition Realm. Do you think a puny Core and Soul Fusion Realm brat like you can face me? That\'s the same as putting a little campfire against an entire Sun! Since that\'s the case, let me get rid of your soul first. Then I can check how you got inside my formation.\'

Rean couldn\'t help but laugh. "Hahaha! Is that so? Then, by all means, give it a try!"

In the next moment, Rean and Globian\'s Soul encountered each other in the formation. It was also at that moment that Globian understood how big of a mistake he had just committed. \'Impossible!\' If Globian\'s Soul was the Sun, then Rean\'s Soul was a whole Galaxy! What could a Transition Realm Soul do against a Peak Divinity Realm one?

Globian immediately gave up trying to face Rean\'s Soul. Instead, he tried to cut the connection between himself and Foliana\'s blood since Rean was using it to reach his own Soul in the Formation.

"Hey, don\'t try to run now. Let\'s be friends! Hahaha!" Rean just laughed and attacked. Globian simply didn\'t have time to do anything anymore. The moment both souls met each other was the moment Globian\'s fate was sealed.

Rean\'s Soul, filled with rich and pure Light Element, suddenly became black! Dark Element gathered, and it smashed against Globian\'s Soul in the Formation.

\'NOOOOOOOO!!!\'

In a matter of seconds, Globian\'s Soul and Spiritual Sense were completely consumed. The Formation lost its functionality in the next moment. That was a good thing. Otherwise, Little Fisha would definitely have died outside. Finally, Rean pulled his soul back. Foliana\'s body then went limp as she held her. He then patted the head of the girl as if she was a kid. "Little girl, you trust others way too easy. Well, the fact you did also helped me sneak behind the formation and get rid of that guy, so it isn\'t that big of an issue."

Foliana still felt her head hurt. Nonetheless, she cared little about it now. The connection used to attack Globian\'s Spiritual Sense and Soul was her own blood and Soul. Rean used her as a bridge. That meant she also saw Globian and Rean\'s souls in that battle inside the formation. The power she felt from Rean\'s soul was so gigantic that she believed it could destroy all souls on this planet. "Re... I... I mean... Senior Rean... Who are you?"

"Me?" Rean used his Light Element to alleviate the symptoms in Foliana\'s body before letting her go. "I\'m nobody. I wasn\'t even supposed to be in this Universe to start with."

Only then did Foliana remember how Rean and Roan were extremely interested in the history of the Werdlem Empire and the Universes inside it? That was quite a surprise for her since almost no one liked history like she did. She would need to be an idiot to not understand it. "You... You came from-"

Rean put a finger over Foliana\'s lips while looking gently at her. "There is no need to speak any further. You never know who could be hearing."

Foliana couldn\'t help but grow red and step back. "So-Sorry... I misspoke." At the same time, she remembered how she was afraid that Rean might want the inheritance for himself. Ha! What a joke! How could someone like Rean possibly have any interest in a puny inheritance from a mortal planet like this? He probably saw this planet as nothing but a steppingstone.

Rean nodded, not taking it to heart. "Don\'t worry about it."

*Plin!*

Suddenly, the formation separating the inside and outside broke down, disappearing in countless specs of light. Since the Spiritual Sense that served as its core wasn\'t there anymore, the Formation couldn\'t keep itself intact. Well, even if it could, Rean could use Sister Orb to take control of it for the same reason.

Rean then glanced outside... Or, to be more specific, Rean\'s clone did. A certain fish was trying to sneak away while his real self talked with Foliana.

*Brag!*

Too bad Rean\'s clone reacted so fast that Little Fisha barely had the time to swim a few meters away. "Oh! Little Fisha! Could it be you wanted to leave us behind? That makes me very sad, you know?"

Little Fisha felt a chill run through her body. \'Ho-How could I possibly think about such a thing? I was... I was just... Right! I was just stretching a little bit. That\'s all. Things were very tense a moment ago, you know...\'

Rean smiled, nodding in agreement. "I see, I see! Yes, that makes sense. So, how about you come with us and take a look at the inheritance? Sure you must be curious, right?"

\'Ri...Right...\' Little Fisha was truly crying already.

Rean\'s clone then disappeared, but Little Fisha didn\'t try to flee. Instead, she swam to the Real Rean\'s side, knowing that escaping was nothing but a dream.

Foliana giggled a little. "So, Rean, how did you do that?"

"Oh? That?" Rean then explained.

Rean used the Mirage Assault to create a clone of himself before they even approached the Formation. Then, through the use of his Light and Divine Sense bending Skill, he hid near his clone and Foliana. When the formation attacked his clone and Little Fisha, his real self was still nearby. All he had to do was to use the same gap Globian used to bring Foliana inside to enter as well. As for the rest, she already knows.

"Leaving that aside, let\'s go inside. Let\'s see this inheritance of yours," Rean commented as if he didn\'t do anything out of the norm.

Foliana sighed and nodded. Regardless of how things played out, it was a fact that she finally reached this point. "Yes, let\'s go, Senior Rean."

Rean shook his head. "Enough with this Senior bullshit. It makes me feel old. Rean is more than enough. Understood?"

"Understood, Rean!" Foliana obviously had nothing against it. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
