Death… And Me

Chapter 1353 - Rules Broken

Of course, Rean had to ask after that. "Is there a problem? Can't I have Light Element Affinity?"

The small dragon seemed to have ignored Rean's words as it fell into deep thought. Seeing that, Rean's group couldn't help but think to themselves, 'This one seems a lot more sentient than the small dragon on the first floor. That one acted more like a puppet.' Of course, they didn't say that to the small dragon at all.

A few minutes later, the small dragon sighed before saying, "Alright, let's leave it for now. This isn't something anyone in this place can do something about." After that, he looked at Rean's group. "Seems like the four of you have the Blue Dragon Wing Mark, so I'm going to pass onto you the second one."

Before the twins' group could say anything, the marks on their foreheads began to change once again. In between the Ice-Blue Dragon Wings, a red body began to take form. It wasn't a painful process or anything like that. Just like the Dragon Wings, the small dragon scanned the surroundings to check who the five most worthy people were to get the mark. With that being said, the four people it considered worth taking ended up being the twins' group once more. That was what the Dragon Tail Brotherhood's disciples were expecting to happen back in the first level if Rean's group didn't receive the marks in their place.

After it finished, the marks on the foreheads of the twins' group now had a red dragon body with blue wings, and both seemed to fit each other. The only thing that remained was the dragon tail and its head. "Alright, I'm done. As you probably know, the girl wasn't considered in this distribution of marks since she doesn't have the first Dragon Wing Mark from the blue dragon."

Hurio didn't waste this opportunity and immediately asked back, "Sir, do you think she will die if she doesn't gather all three marks?"

The small dragon looked at Hurio with some surprise in his eyes. "Your group came here, and you don't even know how things work?" However, the small white dragon quickly noticed something, saying, "Oh, I see it now... in the last 52 selections, it was always those people from that Dragon Tail Brotherhood or whatever who gathered the Dragon Marks. Well, seems like they missed my pool this time around. However, I'm not the only dragon on this second floor giving the second mark, so they should be able to find the others."

After that, it answered Hurio's question. "Anyway, anyone who doesn't pass the selection will not be able to enter the Separated Plane that can be found in this Star Realm. That means they'll have to fight the Star Light Waves that come out once every year. Just so you know, there are a total of ten waves, and the second one passed by a few months ago. If she can resist the waves on her own, she'll obviously survive."

He then continued, "As for the people who enter the separated planes, they will have an entire week there. After this time is up, they will be automatically teleported outside the Star Realm. As for where they'll land, that's totally random. All I can say is that they will appear somewhere inside the continent where our Star Realm had fallen into."

Little did the twins know, but the small white dragon had never talked that much before. It was only because of Rean's Light Element Affinity that he decided to open his mouth. If the Dragon Tail Brotherhood or any of the other top ten powers' disciples were here, they wouldn't believe the small dragon could talk so much.

Lilia bitterly smiled after hearing that. Resist eight more waves? She had no hope of resisting even a single one, let alone eight. Hurio, of course, didn't stop there. "Isn't there another way? She doesn't have a chance to survive that at all."

The small dragon didn't answer, though. Instead, he looked at the mother Armored Salamander. "I understand why you brought them here. First, you wanted to thank them for saving your child. Second, you knew I would be interested in a Light Element Affinity cultivator. However, it doesn't change the fact that you broke the rules and shouldn't have done that.

As soon as the mother Armored Salamander heard that, she took several steps back as the fear on her face increased. Nevertheless, she didn't regret it since her child was fine now. He would have definitely died if not for Rean's treatment, so paying for it with her life wasn't a problem at all.

The small white dragon's wings suddenly expanded as some kind of power began to gather on them. After a moment, the small white dragon flapped its wings, releasing several white and red beans of light that aimed for the mother Armored Salamander's head. They moved quite slowly to the point that even Kentucky could dodge them if he used his full speed. Let alone the mother Armored Salamander.

However, the small white dragon also used its spatial powers to lock the Mother Salamander in place. The mother Armored Salamander's spatial power was definitely huge. That guy from the Dragon Tail Brotherhood couldn't hold a candle to it. However, in front of the small white dragon, she was even worse. They simply weren't in the same league at all.

The mother Armored Salamander could only close her eyes and wait for death. Yet, at the last moment, Rean jumped from Kentucky's back, placing himself right in front of the light beans. He wasn't the only one, though. Roan was also there, having taken the same action as Rean.

Hurio and Lilia were taken aback to see that. Were they crazy? Something that could kill the mother Armored Salamander would obviously pulverize their bodies. What the hell were they thinking?

However, at the last moment, the light beans changed in several different directions, trying to avoid the twins. Many disappeared into the skies while others hit the ground.

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*

The fabric of space itself broke apart as spatial storms began to rampage in the area. Just the shockwaves from the explosions alone should be enough to annihilate the twins and their group. However, that didn't happen.. At the same time the light beans changed direction, a spatial barrier appeared around the twins' group, protecting them from the explosions.
