Death… And Me

Chapter 1190 - Sure

Chapter 1190: Sure

"Multicolored crystal?" Rean pondered over it for a bit as to what it could be. "Well, there are a few materials I know of that have many colors. It's nothing rare in the Realm of Gods. But I don't remember one that can create harmful energy for the body."

Aien shook his head, saying, "I also don't know what it is. Well, once she came back, I didn't change the rule and still prohibited anyone from going there. Look at her. It seems like her skin rotted or melted. I don't even know what to call it."

Aelua dropped her head even more. "I..."

Rean touched Aelua's shoulder and used his Light Element and Divine Soul Power to check her body. He was then able to find traces of that weird energy that affected the girl's body. "Oh! This is different from anything I've ever seen. However, this does indeed have the potential to serve as an energy source. Just need to make a few modifications on the formation."

Rean then touched Aelua's forehead with his finger, sending a wave of energy into her soul that made the girl lose consciousness. Naturally, that puzzled Aien as he didn't think Rean was trying to harm her. "Is something wrong?

"Not really," Rean replied. "But since she was the one who found that energy source, the least I can do to thank her is to return her body back to normal. It's just that it's a painful process, so it's better if she isn't awake to not remember it."

Soon after, Rean took out his Black Star and poured Divine Energy inside. Dark Element then began to gather around it, which Rean absorbed and sent into Aelua's body while his Light Element protected the organs.

'Life Style, Third Form, Purification!'

Since Roan wasn't anywhere near ten thousand kilometers from him, Rean obviously couldn't exchange elements with him. He had to rely on his Black Star to gather the necessary Dark Element. Obviously, it took much longer, which would keep the Dark Element that destroyed the foreign energy inside Aelua's body acting for a longer time. It definitely wouldn't be a pleasant feeling.

Aien saw how Aelua's body contorted due to the pain. However, he was also able to see that her skin began to go back to normal little by little. "Seems very painful indeed...good thing she's unconscious."

One hour was what it took for Rean to eliminate the foreign energy from Aelua's body. It took another thirty minutes to use Light Element to heal the damaged skin as he had to remold it to take the old shape. When Rean was over, Aelua's body seemed to be covered in a dark liquid with a foul smell. "Phew...it's done."

With that, Rean used his Light Element to awaken Aelua's soul once again. Naturally, she didn't remember a thing about what had happened. It's just that her body seemed to feel extremely light at the moment. "Did...did I fall asleep?"

"Kind of," Rean said with a smile. "By the way, you smell terrible. You should go back and take a bath."

Only then did Aelua notice the dark thing around her body and the horrible stench coming from it. "Ah!" Immediately, she ran back to the village, not even noticing that her body was back to what it was.

Rean looked at that and couldn't help but let out a chuckle. "Hahaha! A different girl indeed."

Aien sighed, though. "She only causes trouble with that mind of hers." Nevertheless, he was thankful. "Thank you for helping that idiot. I hope she learned to think things through before making such actions again."

Rean nodded and began to walk back to the village with Aien. After all, Rean did need Aelua's help to head down that cave. Around one hour later, Aelua finally came back. It seemed that she finally noticed that her body wasn't like it was anymore, which she realized was because of Rean. "T-Thank you, benefactor." It was easy to see the happiness on her face.

Rean just waved his hand in response. "It didn't cost me anything to help you. Now then, it's time for us to go down the cave. I hope you still remember the route."

"Yes! I definitely do! But..." Aelua was still worried about the side effects of the energy in that place.

"Don't worry. I'll use my Divine Energy to keep us safe. Even if that energy causes the same problem to you again, I can deal with it just like I did before," Rean assured her.

Aelua immediately felt excited. "Is that true? Then let's go!"

Aien slapped the back of her head, though. "What are you all getting excited about? Just because there's someone to protect you, do you think you're going out on another funny adventure of yours? This has the future of the village at stake. Take it more seriously!"

Aelua rubbed her backhead, feeling wronged.

Rean couldn't help but think instead, 'She truly reminds me of a certain happy-go-lucky girl. Well, I hope the kid she had has helped Malaka calm down a bit.'

After some time, Rean nodded and put the materials he hadn't used in the formation yet back in the Spatial Ring. "Alright, let's go down."

Meanwhile, back in the Sacred Land, Roan had finally finished reading through all the body cultivation techniques in the repository. He found many possible candidates, which used different approaches and materials in the cultivation process. Of course, he wasn't entirely satisfied with them, so he decided that he would create his own body cultivation technique from scratch. At the very least, he now had the knowledge to do that with the information regarding other techniques in his head.

However, when Roan stepped out of his private study room in the body cultivation technique repository, he found out that three cultivators were waiting for him already. He also recognized their clothes. 'Core Sector disciples.'

Roan narrowed his eyes before nodding in response. "That's me. What is it?"

"Come with us. Our young master has some uses for your service as a helper."

"Who are you?" Roan asked.

Their leader nodded before introducing himself, "You can call me Liberf.

Roan nodded, saying, "Very well, Liberf.. 30000 Merit Points per day."
