Death… And Me

Chapter 1036 - Roans Adaptation

Chapter 1036 - Roan's Adaptation

Tuniso and Liafel looked at each other for a moment before nodding. If things continued out like this, it would be another victory for the twins. With that being said, they reached a taciturn understanding to attack Roan together.

Roan, of course, welcomed it with open arms. If anything, he wanted both to come at him since he really was using everything he had. When he was exchanging elements with Rean, that was the moment where he didn't intend to hold back.

Tuniso was the first one to make a move. Earth and Fire Element gathered with the help of his Divine Energy before he activated his skill.

'Earth's Fury!'

As many people know, flying was not possible before reaching the Transition Realm in the Realm of Gods, so ground-based skills were very effective. The earth under Roan's feet trembled before it caved in. Inside, Roan could see a pool of magma, obviously created by the Fire Element from Tuniso's attack.

Liafel wasn't any slower either. Lightning and Fire Element also appeared as he launched an attack at Roan from above.

'Thunder Fire Destruction!'

The Fire and Lightning Elements were merged very well, increasing both their powers at the same time. It was obvious that Tuniso was focusing on holding Roan down while Liafel was focused on offense.

Roan was taken aback by that combination and quickly tried to get away from there.

'Death Style, First Energy Form, Shadow Bind!'

His shadow binds appeared on the ground close to the pool of magma, which quickly attached to him and pulled him back.

"Too late!" Liafel didn't want to see Roan escape, though.

*Boom!*

Before Roan's Shadow Bind could pull him back to safety, Liafel's Thunder Fire Destruction arrived, blasting Roan into the pool of magma. Even before he fell into it, the attack alone had already severely injured him...or so they thought.

Suddenly, Roan's form began to shatter as his body disappeared into specks of Light and Dark Element. Roan had used his clones during this stage, but the ones who saw it were Hunfe and Gian. As mentioned before, their battles were separated from each other, so neither side had seen how they ended their opponents.

However, neither Tuniso nor Liafel seemed surprised by that outcome. 'Sure enough, there's no way this black-haired twin could have died this easily. Otherwise, it wouldn't explain how he defeated the other two on his own.'

Liafel then looked at Tuniso, who immediately activated another skill.

'Earth's Embrace!'

A yellow light then appeared around him, creating a protective barrier made purely of Earth Element.

*Bang!*

The moment the yellow barrier appeared, Roan's White Star crashed into it. Indeed, Roan's ambush didn't work at all as Tuniso defended against his attack.

Nevertheless, Tuniso was left aghast. It wasn't because Roan appeared there, but that Roan's sword penetrated almost all the way into the barrier, getting very close to his neck. 'What kind of attack power is that? I feel like the energy making up Earth's Embrace is being corroded completely.'

Surprisingly, he was correct. Roan's Dark Element was destroying it. It was Tuniso's luck that he didn't underestimate Roan just because of his cultivation, so he had summoned his full strength when creating that barrier.

Seeing that, Roan smiled and quickly retreated as he thought to himself, 'Better than I thought.'

'Lightning Purge!'

The moment Roan left his position, a ray of lightning hit it, leaving a deep mark on the ground. Liafel then quickly landed on Tuniso's side. Anyone could tell that they had totally forged an alliance to deal with Roan.

Tuniso then looked at Liafel before using a Divine Sense Message, telling him, 'Careful. His attacks have some kind of corrosive power. Even my full-strength shield was almost slashed through.'

Liafel nodded in response. 'Protect me if you see I'm in danger. Otherwise, you'll be the last one here to deal with him on your own.'

'I know that. Let's go!'

The same yellow barrier then appeared around Liafel before they prepared to restart their attack when out of nowhere...

*Bang!*

*Swish!*

*Spurt!*

Tuniso's voice stopped as he saw his vision distort. His head began to look in another direction even though he didn't do anything. Soon, Tuniso's vision switched after a half rotation, just to see his own body without a head getting further away. In the end, he could only think to himself, 'How...'

Liafel was taken aback as well. He was on Tuniso's side, but he didn't notice it until the very last moment. Of course, once he turned around to check and see, he quickly saw the perpetrator. It was no one else than Roan!

"Impossible! Even if you were successful in hiding, you shouldn't have enough strength to pierce through Tuniso's barrier on your own!"

Roan nodded, agreeing with Liafel. "Indeed, I don't have the power to do it alone. However..." Roan then pointed below as he continued, "This slaughtering formation definitely helps."

Liafel was taken aback as he quickly retreated. "That doesn't make sense! If one of the projectiles got close, we would have felt it with Divine Sens-"

Only then did Liafel understand. "You hid the projectile with your skill that hides from Divine Sense!"

Roan was surprised that Liafel understood what he did so quickly. "Smart! There's no rule saying that you can't use the formation's power to get rid of your opponents, after all. First, I had my clones attract your attention by falling into that magma pool trap. Then, I used another one to attack Tuniso, who blocked it. My Dark Element then left an impression on him, which made him think that the clone was really me."

"Also, to make it even more believable..." Roan's clone, which was the one who attacked Tuniso at first, approached Roan and passed the White Star back to the main body. "I gave my sword for it to use. With my real sword and my Dark Element, it's still not as strong as myself, but it's definitely much better than without it."

"Now then. You two were looking at my clone, thinking it was the real deal. In this blueish environment, hiding is quite complicated, so I needed you two to not look where I really was."

With that, everything finally made sense in Liafel's head.
