Death… And Me

Chapter 1841: It Cant Be

Chapter 1841: It Can't Be

Due to the Spatial Power contained in that sea urchin-like item, the twins were not able to run into the Pocket Dimensional Realm. Usually, it would have been possible even in the face of Void Tempering Realm and even Space Bending Realm experts. Their Spatial Power wouldn't be enough to stop the twins from entering the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm since the entrance was located within themselves.

However, the sea urchin thing's Spatial Power was way above the Space Bending Realm. It was to the point that it was able to affect the entrance into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Thanks to that, both Rean and Roan were hit by many spikes with tremendous Spatial Power and Soul Energy. They only had enough time to put their weapons in front of their heads, trying to stop the spikes from piercing through their heads.

*Cough, cough, cough....*

Unsurprisingly, Rean and Roan vomited rivers of blood as their bodies were launched like meteors into the distance. The only good thing was that the sea urchin's power only lasted for a split second. Thanks to that, its spikes disappeared as fast as they stretched out.

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!'

Of course, Rean and Roan weren't idiots. The moment they understood they would be injured, they had already gathered the Light Element to heal their bodies. As long as their heads hadn't been separated from their bodies, Rean's skill would be enough to recover even limbs. Due to the nature of that attack, they escaped by a thread.

However, the problem was that they could barely move at all. Plus, recovering from such huge injuries that pierced all their organs wouldn't just take seconds. It would take several minutes, probably over half an hour. Naturally, Rlakux and Fratekla wouldn't just sit around and let them recover.

Well, their problem hadn't ended there. Due to the Spatial Power within those sea urchin-like items, they couldn't enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm either. It would take some time until the space around reached a stable enough point capable of letting them leave.

*Zush, zush!*

Sure enough, it just took a few seconds for Fratekla and Rlakux to appear in the twins' vision. Each one of them followed one of the twins' bodies, intending to finish both twins at the same time.

Fratekla's Black Thorn Vine, as well as Rlakux's Red Scythe, headed straight for the twins, ready to finish their lives.

'Rotten Prison!'

'Soul Reaper!'

The twins could only watch as their lives were about to be taken. Yet, just as the attacks were about to connect, everything suddenly slowed down. The time necessary for a normal second became a minute, then an hour, then a day. Rean, Roan, Rlakux, and Fratekla were still moving. However, they were so slow that it was almost impossible to see it. Surprisingly though, their minds were still working at normal speed, so they could see how slow everything had become.

*Bzzzzzzzz...*

It was then that the three towers, which didn't have an entrance at first, began to open. An enormous shining gate appeared in front of it, emanating the power of both space and time. After that, a figure stepped outside, stopping right in the middle of the four.

It was a man with white robes, pretty young if one looked at his appearance. Of course, due to the power that he was displaying, none of them would believe he was as young as he looked.

The man looked at them before raising his hand and waving in his direction. That simple action tightened the space around the twins and the demons before pulling all four of them closer to him. "Hmm... who would have thought that two fragments would come to me this easily? Also, your fight was quite entertaining. I haven't enjoyed such a good show in a very, very long time."

Rean and Roan had absolutely no idea who that man was. However, the twins' feelings told them that this man was somewhat familiar. In any case, it was very bad news for the twins as his power over the space would make it impossible for the twins to enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. No, even if they could, this guy's power would be enough to use the entrance left behind to destroy the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

Rlakux and Fratekla weren't the least bit happy, though. That's because they did indeed recognize the man. This was a man wanted by both the angel and demon races. However, their expressions were still slowed by the man's control over time, so they couldn't show it.

'Crazy Old Man Larks!'

That was the same man Fratekla mentioned when they arrived in the ruins. That was the crazy old man who created a gap in the temporal space and fled inside with the power of the Foundation Fragment in his possession. Both angels and demons wanted to get him and especially the fragment he had. Unfortunately for them, in that temporal gap, he was invincible. Many experts from both sides died inside in vain.

Crazy Old Man Larks looked at the two demons, already expecting their appearance. "Let me guess, it was that idiot Krankax who sent you here, right? He would never let the chance of acquiring a fragment escape from him, even if it meant risking his own fragment. Without all pieces, refining the universe into one's foundation is impossible."

It was then that Crazy Old Man Larks noticed Fratekla's face. "Oh! I didn't pay attention to any of your faces before. Aren't you idiot Krankax's granddaughter? Your bloodline also screams that idiot's inheritance. That's really unexpected. Hahahaha!"

Fratekla felt a chill in her mind, cursing her fate for encountering this man here. She didn't know the story very well, but it was obvious that Larks didn't like her grandfather at all.

"As for the other two..." Crazy Old Man Larks then waved his hand once again, swapping Fratekla and Rlakux's positions with Rean and Roan. However, the moment he looked at the twins' faces, he froze. "Y-You... no, it can't be..."
