Death… And Me

Chapter 1127 - Thats Convenient

Chapter 1127 - That's Convenient

Roan actually fought Rivaldo to the same level! How big was that for the City Guards?! Obviously, they had to acknowledge Roan's strength whether they wanted to or not. At the very least, none of them could do that. They also heard that Rean was almost as strong as his brother. In that case, there's no shame in being under their command, especially since they wanted to get rid of the troublemakers from outside. How many of the city guards could say that they were patrolling with someone as strong as Rivaldo? That was an honor to him as Rivaldo rarely left the headquarters ever since he became the captain.

Rean and Roan's concealment paid off in the end. No one knew that they joined the city guards. Not to mention that they were now using full-body armor. At this point, they looked just like any of the city guards on patrol.

Fabio looked at that and couldn't help but become excited. 'Holy shit! Can't they simply trash everyone with the city guards helping them?'

That wasn't exactly what Rean wanted, though. More than that, Rean wanted to find the so-called surprise that Cassia talked about. Well, in any case, they would need the Existence Pearls for that.

With the cultivators everywhere and a city that wasn't that big, it didn't take long for Rean and Roan to find the first cultivators fighting over an Existence Pearl.

"Get him!"

"He's mine!"

"Get your hands off my Existence Pearl, trash!"

Rean and Roan shook their heads after seeing that scene. It didn't look like the normal refined battle between cultivators, but more like a bar brawl instead. That was the outcome of removing the Divine Energy that cultivators used whenever they fought.

"These outsiders are a disgrace to the outsiders who wish to earn their income properly! Guards, seize them! Show no mercy to anyone who resists!" Rean, obviously, wouldn't let the chance pass up.

*Pah! Pow Bang! Clash! Swish...*

Cultivators died and got captured one after another. That took the cultivators by surprise as they hadn't hurt anyone from the city or destroyed anything. Nevertheless, most of them tried to flee. Some succeeded, the rest not.

"Leaders, we've got the thing they were fighting over for." One of the guards then passed Rean another Existence Pearl. "So, these are the reason for so much tumult in our beloved city, huh?" Rean said as if he didn't know anything.

Funnily enough, while everyone was struggling to pass the test, Rean enjoyed playing the NPC role. 'This truly reminds me of some game from Earth. It's quite sad that I've never had the chance to play them.'

Soon after, Rean smiled and gave an order. "Everyone, we will target any of those outsiders and seize these items from them so that this bullshit can finally stop."

"Yes, sir!"

Well, Rean and Roan didn't stay put either. Although they were the leaders of that squad, they also joined the fray to fight the cultivators. No one doubted they were real guards either. After all, they were even stronger than common guards, while most cultivators were usually weaker than them.

By the end of the first day, Rean and Roan had obtained...35 Existence Pearls! They only needed 10 Existence Pearls to pass the test, but they didn't use them at all. There was a reason for that, though.

Going back a few hours ago, Rean and Roan had gotten their tenth pearl from the cultivators fighting. As soon as they held the tenth one in their hands, something appeared in their minds.

-Ranking of Dream City-

1st: Rean Larks, 10 Existence Pearls.

2nd: Roan Larks, 9 Existence Pearls.

3rd: Venali Petsys, 5 Existence Pearls.

4th: Hedoi Garaizabal, 4 Existence Pearls.

5th: Liana Turin, 4 Existence Pearls.

6th: Ricab Guto, 4 Existence Pearls.

7th...

An entire ranking board appeared in their minds. Well, to be more specific, it only appeared on Rean's mind as he was the only one who got ten pearls. Roan only saw that because Rean shared his memory with him.

'A ranking system?' Roan could not help but say.

Rean nodded in response. 'Indeed. This should be the hidden surprise that Cassia talked about.'

Roan pondered in silence for a bit before asking, 'What do you think the first places will get?'

'Who knows?' Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. 'When I asked for a reward before, she told me that the only reward was getting accepted into the Sacred Land. There wasn't anything else.'

Rean and Roan's expressions immediately changed when they thought about that. 'Wait! Could it be that we can be accepted into the Sacred Land straight away if we win this thing?'

The twins weren't sure if that would really happen or not. Perhaps Cassia was only trying to create more chaos with this hidden surprise. She never said that anyone would get anything extra for passing this test in the first place.

'Should we stay and gather more Existence Pearls, or should we leave straight away after getting your tenth one?' Rean asked.

Roan shook his head after hearing that. 'We're part of the city guards, and all these idiots have no idea how to fight without Divine Energy or their strong cultivators' bodies. What do we have to fear? Let's keep going.'

Rean laughed in response when he heard that. 'Hahaha! That's true. Hey, we can even help our own group if we find them. At this pace, it won't be a problem to gather many more Existence Pearls. These guys are starting to understand the tasks needed to gain them.'

Roan didn't see a problem with that.

And that's how the twins gathered 35 pearls by the end of the day. Rean was holding 17 while Roan had 16 of them. With that, they noticed one more point when they both got more than 10 pearls. In their minds... they could now see the position of each other in the city. It was as if a map showed the location of anyone holding ten or more pearls.

Rean and even Roan couldn't help but show a grin at that moment.. 'Now, that's convenient.'
