Death… And Me

Chapter 2980: Gofel



Roan narrowed his eyes, being able to see what Rean was sharing through their connection. 'Waste of time...'

Rean didn't care, though. He simply carried the guy's body out of the area with care, trying to avoid the Sunlight Beasts. He took twice the time to go back with the extra weight. Nonetheless, it was better to be safe than sorry. Finally, he reached Roan and Klifon.

Klifon, naturally, was surprised to see Rean carrying that body. "This..."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Rean didn't explain. "Let's get out of here first. We are still too close to these beasts. Besides, the fact we found this place means others might find it too."

Klifon didn't say anything and quickly followed the twins. After an hour, they found a hidden corner where they landed again. Roan completely ignored the body on Rean's shoulder and asked the obvious. "How's the profits?"

Rean threw his Spatial Ring to Roan to take a look. Roan gave a quick look and nodded, satisfied. "This should be more or less enough to reach the Late or Peak Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm."

Klifon got curious and used his Spiritual Sense to check. Looking inside, he almost fainted. There were over ten thousand Rank Five Spiritual Stones, almost three hundred Rank Six, and above all, 35 Rank Seven. Let's not even talk about Rank Four and lower. They were just too many to count.

But then, he was shocked by something else. 'WAIT! Did they say all of this is only enough to reach the Late or Peak Stage Nascent Soul Realm? Are they crazy?! If they use them correctly, there should be no issues making it another entire realm, at the very least! No! It is no doubt enough to reach the saint realm, even if your talent is absolute shit!'

Little did Klifon know that the twins had no intention of using the stones correctly. They only cared about speed, so there would definitely be a lot of energy loss in the process. Most importantly... the twins' energy pool were much, much bigger than anyone at the same level, so they already needed much more Spiritual Energy to breakthrough.

"Actually, we should be able to make it to the Soul Transformation Realm," Rean spoke as he checked the Transition Realm guy's body. "Once we get out, I will build an Energy Gathering Formation so we can use all those Rank Four Spiritual Stones. The Initial Stage should be fine."

Roan nodded. "Formations are your area. If you think we can do it, then even better."

"Oh! Here he is!" Knowing that the soul was in there, Rean didn't take long to find it. Roan noticed the guy was alive because of the lack of Death Energy, but souls are much more of Rean's specialty due to his Light Element Affinity. Unless they are dead souls, which Roan is better, but that wasn't the case at the moment.

'Life Style, Instant Recovery!'

Immediately, all the injuries on the guy's body began to recover. Rean also threw one of Roan's nutrient pills so the body could have where to take energy from to heal. Rean worked leisurely, taking a few minutes to bring the body into a usable state. Rean stopped there, though. He didn't want to allow the guy to recover too much.

In the end, Rean used his Light Element to pull the soul back to the surface and reattach it to the body.

*Ugh...*

The man's expression contorted for a moment, feeling the pain of the damage in his soul and cultivation. He then opened his eyes with some difficulty, trying to understand what was happening.

*Shuaaaa...*

It was then that the flashback of his battle against hundreds of Sunlight Beasts came back to him. He tried to escape many times, but more of those beasts continued to appear until he and This group were completely surrounded. He did his best, but he couldn't resist. In the end, he was forced to hide his soul and play dead, knowing that he most likely would survive anyway. "Ah!"

Surprisingly, he did, and someone did indeed rescue him somehow. He quickly got up, concerned about his situation. Obviously, he noticed the twins' group. "Who are you?!"

"Whoa there, brother..." Rean smiled at the man. "I just got you away from the sea of Sunlight Beasts, so shouldn't you act a little more thankful? Besides, if I wanted to do something to you, why would I wait for you to recover and even heal your body?"

"This..." The man quickly checked his body. He was still in bad shape, but nothing compared to his state after losing the battle. However, his expression immediately turned dark. His cultivation regressed, just like Roan mentioned it would. He fell all the way to the Initial Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm. He would have regressed even further, but Rean's care prevented that from happening.

"I couldn't do anything about your cultivation, though," Rean continued. "By the time I healed your body, your cultivation was already like that. Well, considering it was you who forced your soul into that state, I believe you already expected this outcome."

The man still had his guard high, but he nodded nonetheless. "Yes, I'm aware." He then got up with difficulty. "Thank you for saving my life. I owe you one. You even prevented my cultivation from falling further."

Rean shook his head. "You owe us nothing. We already got our payment."

Only then did the man notice his Spatial Ring was gone. "You..."

Rean didn't seem to care about his reaction. "What? Is your Spatial Ring more valuable than your life?"

"I..." Obviously, nothing was more important for a cultivator than their life and cultivations. Still, he could see that Rean was nothing but a Late Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm. The Sun Urpin on their back was the strongest one, being a Stage Six Spirit. He should be able to take it all back with his strength.

Rean smiled at the guy, not the least bit worried. "Well then, we will take our leave now. If I were you, I would go back to the entrance and leave this place. You lost your cultivation, but you still have the experience. If you're fast, you might be able to recover to the Transition Realm in a few years before your dantian stabilizes."

*Zush!*

Rean then threw a weapon to the man's side as well as a few bottles. "Right, I brought your weapon as well. And these pills were inside your Spatial Ring. I don't need them."

The man took his weapon and seriously considered attacking. However, his instincts yelled at him nonstop, saying he absolutely shouldn't try it. "Wait!" He finally gave up the idea of attacking. Something just wasn't right. Nonetheless, he still had something to say. "I'm Gofel. Say, what if we travel together?"

Roan immediately refused. "There is nothing you could add to our group with your strength."

Gofel was taken aback, but that confirmed his suspicions. This group was hiding their strength. That made sense. After all, there is no way two kids at the Core and Soul Fusion Realm would make it to this place unharmed. The Sun Urpin behind wasn't much better either. "That's not it. Take a look inside my Spatial Ring. You should be able to see a small flower frame inside. I can use it to guide us to the hidden palace."

Rean and Roan were taken aback. They quickly checked it, and sure enough, the flower frame was there. They didn't know what it was about, so they ignored it initially. "Alright, you

picked our interest."
