Death… And Me

Chapter 240 - Calina Sasamil

Chapter 240 - Calina Sasamil

The girl smiled at Roan before replying.

"It was just a small test. Since Malaka was so good at controlling the Water Element, I thought she would be able to defend against this little trick. But it seems that I've overestimated her. She didn't even react."

Roan showed a puzzled expression as he looked at her.

"Did I talk to you?"

That answer pulled her legs. Of course, she thought Roan was talking to her.

Soon after...

*crash, crash, crash...*

Everyone noticed the sound of targets being destroyed in the air. It was then that the girl and the onlookers noticed. Even with the sudden attack, Malaka hasn't stopped attacking the targets at all.

'Who would do such a thing in that situation? You were almost killed, you know?'

That was the thought running in everyone's minds. Of course, the girl who attacked Malaka was also taken aback by Malaka's indifferent behavior. Why is she continuing to attack the targets as if nothing had happened?

Well, Rean and Roan didn't seem that surprised, though.

Finally...

*pin!*

A sound came out of the Water Disruption Formations, which indicated the end of the dispute.

"Hahaha! I won!"

*Pah!*

"I won your head!"

Suddenly, Roan slapped the back of Malaka's head.

"Ouch!"

"Why did you do that? I won, didn't I?"

Roan wasn't the least bit happy at all.

"Let alone the fact that you and Nightingale here just caught everyone's attention, you knew very well that those icicles were coming for you. Why did you ignore them? Since when did I train such an idiot? I'll ask you once more, do you wanna die?"

Malaka sulked as she explained.

"But... you and Rean were just a few meters away. I noticed you moving with my Spiritual Sense even before she shot the Water Icicles. I knew that you two would definitely protect me."

The girl who attacked Malaka couldn't help but ask.

"Wait! You knew that the attacks were coming and did nothing. Do you want me to believe that?"

Still, Malaka looked at the girl with a proud expression.

"My brothers are super strong! They would never let anything happen to me. Even Kentucky helped! Hahaha!"

*Pah!*

"Ouch!"

Roan slapped the back of her head once more.

"Am I your bodyguard?"

Rean couldn't help but say in response.

"Well, you do have the black clothes already. You just need a tie, and you'll look the part."

Roan's mouth twitched.

"You shut up!"

He returned his attention to Malaka and continued.

"Next time you refrain from reacting, I'll make sure to beat you up to the point you won't get up for an entire week."

Malaka felt wronged. Just now, she won another hundred Rank Three Spirit Stones, but Roan didn't seem to care about her 'amazing' accomplishment.

Rean shrugged his shoulders.

"I hate to say it. I really, really do. However, I agree with Roan this time, Malaka. What if we were not paying attention? Don't do something this risky next time, okay?"

Malaka nodded as her head drooped right after. It was hard to say if she was becoming smarter since she knew that they would definitely protect her.... or dumber since she should have reacted nonetheless.

"Anyway, you two did enough for a day. Let's leave this place."

"Wait! I still have to take the girl's payment."

Rean ran to the side of the girl while extending his hand.

"You lost, pay up!"

"Ah!"

The girl finally came back to herself.

"Are you kidding me? Are you going to ignore what just happened? Won't you ask why I attacked her or anything like that?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders.

"What else could it be? Jealousy, of course. My little sister is super cute and talented, so you wanted to teach her a lesson. Isn't that obvious?"

Rean himself and Roan didn't really believe these words. However, they had noticed her clothes, which represented the Imperial Family or those closely related to them. Besides, the fact that she had that Yin Energy inside her showed that she wasn't simple. They quickly decided that it was better not to get involved with her to prevent more issues. If they wanted to try something, it definitely wouldn't be in a place like this where everyone was looking. Besides, even though Malaka ignored her attack because of Rean and Roan's presence, the twins knew that she was more powerful than Malaka for sure. Her Water Element control was definitely superior as well.

Well, Malaka was two realm stages lower than her, though.

As soon as the blond girl heard that, her face became as red as a tomato.

"Wh-who's jealous? I'm a member of the Imperial Family, wh-why would I feel jealous of a country bumpkin like her?"

Rean's expression finally showed some real surprise this time.

'Errr... I was... right?'

Yep. Rean was, surprisingly, 100% correct. This girl's name was Calina Sasamil, from the Sasamil Imperial Family. As one could imagine, she had imperial blood in her veins. Calina was sent to this place to participate in the Profound Abyss as a representative of the Imperial Family.

Like the Profound Abyss, this type of training grounds could be found in several different places in the Sasamil Empire. It was quite common for the Imperial Family and those closely related to them to send a few of their young ones to those locations. Obviously, Calina Sasamil was the chosen one this time.

As for her different appearance from the typical black hair and eyes, that was because of a political marriage between the Sasamil Empire and the Chroles Empire far in the north. She also had the blood of the north's people, where blond hair and clear eye colors were not uncommon.

In fact, to show the Imperial Family's higher talent, she planned to make a show in this gathering. However, someone had already caught everyone's attention by the time she arrived. Of course, that put her plans in disarray, plus she did feel a little jealous of Malaka's cute appearance and high talent that didn't lose to her own. It was then that she decided to make Malaka as an example to display her advantages.

In the end, it was a completely ridiculous reason as that. It was Rean and Roan's mistake to think that her actions had a more profound meaning behind them.

"Hmph! Anyway, as a member of the Imperial Family, I'll obviously pay for my loss. Here, take it."

She quickly took out 100 Rank Three Spirit Stones and passed them to Rean.

A second later, a man came running from the middle of the crowd.

"Calina! Here you are! Don't walk around on your own like that."

Roan immediately identified the guy. It was the same guy who told him to give up the Yin Ice Ore. Of course, the man also noticed Roan... not that he cared anyway.

The man looked at the crowd gathering around and asked.

"What happened here? Did someone hurt you?"

Calina shook her head.

"Of course not! Who would dare to touch me in this place, huh? Anyway, I finished my business here. Let's go."

The man sighed and quickly followed the girl. He was sent here as one of her protectors. His name was Valeu Samikil, a member of one of the clans that served the Imperial Family. His cultivation was at the peak of the Core Formation Realm. He would also enter the Profound Abyss with Calina later to continue protecting her as ordered.

Rean then returned to Malaka and Roan's side. By now, Kentucky had already come back. It is just that he was a little dirty because of the kicks he did on the ground.

Rean then looked at Malaka, whose sad expression completely disappeared as she hugged Kentucky. It was a wonder whether she had genuinely reflected on her actions or not.

"That blond girl kinda reminds me of Malaka, don't you think?"

Roan had to admit that Rean was right.

"Whatever. Let's leave this place. Look around. Just how many people do you want to be aware of our strength? Couldn't you two be a bit more careful?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"Still, we made a fortune today. We can start cultivating with these Rank Three Spirit Stones once we stabilize our cultivation later."

Malaka then looked at Rean.

"It was me who won these stones. I want some too!"

Rean laughed.

"Alright, alright. I'll give you enough for your cultivation once we are back at the sect."

The Twins, Kentucky, and Malaka then left the gathering under everyone's eyes while talking. Well, it was basically only Malaka and Rean speaking with Kentucky making his 'chick' sounds.
