Death… And Me

Chapter 2996: Friend

?

Diliy was forced back by the force of the impact. He still hasn't defeated the Sunlight Beast he was fighting, so it also didn't stop and attacked Diliy.

Diliy didn't have time to turn this time. He braced himself for the attack while concentrating all his Spiritual Energy on his back. However...

*Bang!*

Out of nowhere, Diliy was kicked by the side, changing the direction he was flying to. Diliy saw it with his Spiritual Sense. It was severely restricted in this realm, but it could still spread a few meters. It was definitely Asterix who saved him just now. 'How...'

Kruwan didn't expect that. Diliy saw Rean appearing because he was very close, but Kruwan wasn't, so it was as if Diliy had hit some invisible barrier that changed his direction. Even worse was that the Sunlight Beast that attacked Diliy missed its target and now came straight at him since he was closer. "Fuck! How did he do that?!"

Diliy quickly recovered. The kick he received from Rean... or Asterix... wasn't anything capable of hurting him much. Even though he was curious about Rean's concealment, he had to deal with the guy who wanted to kill him first. Diliy shot in Kruwan's direction, fuming. "Kruwan, you are a disgrace to all Sword Cultivators!"

Kruwan had a similar strength to Diliy, so the Sunlight Beast obviously wasn't much of a risk to him either. He quickly forced it away before facing Diliy. "Hmph! You truly have no idea why I did such a thing, do you? Don't worry, you will understand once I take your life!"

As Diliy and Kruwan fought, Roan complained to Rean. 'You almost revealed ourselves, idiot!' Rean shrugged. 'What did you want me to do? If Diliy died, we would have no one to learn more about Sword Intent. Besides, we owe him one for the help he gave us at the entrance.' Roan wanted to retort, but he also hated to owe favors. 'Fine, let's leave it at that.'

Now that Diliy knew Kruwan was targeting him, he wouldn't fall easily, so the twins didn't need to intervene anymore. They resumed their journey while Rean increased his Light Element and Yang Energy output to cope with the constantly increasing Sunlight Energy concentration.

The twins arrived at the tower mentioned by Tony a few minutes later. However, they didn't dare get too close. In the distance, the Golden Crow continuously attacked the ground under the tower. As for the experts that had been following it earlier, they were dealing with the Sunlight Beasts in the area and didn't get close either.

Roan ignored all of that and looked to the left. The white house wasn't too far away from the Golden Crow, way closer than he would like to get. However, the Golden Crow's ethereal was now full of cracks. It did seem like it was going to collapse anytime now.

'Should we wait?' Rean asked on the side.

Roan looked at the place the Golden Crow was attacking. The hut before led to a treasure room under the tower, so perhaps it is the same thing here. That means once they enter the White House and follow the secret path into the treasure room, the Golden Crow might just be there waiting for them at that time.

'Tony, is the treasure room under the tower?' Roan asked, still concerned.

'It is, ' Tony answered. Sister Orb was making the events outside visible for him so he could see the situation.

'What is that Golden Crow?' Rean asked, too.

'Golden Crow? Is that the name of that thing? I don't even know where it came from, so how should I know? Don't forget I was asleep until the moment you entered the hidden room,' Tony truly had no idea. The twins then explained where the Golden Crow came from, much to Tony's surprise. 'What?! That beast was the huge ball of Sunlight Energy atop the tower? Holy shit!'

Roan narrowed his eyes. Tony was pretty much useless in this regard. 'Let's go!'

Rean got confused, though. 'Isn't it too risky?'

Roan shook his head. 'That thing is trying to enter the Treasure Room. We don't know if it will collapse before or after it opens the way. Also, perhaps it is trying to reach the Divine Stones so it can absorb their energy and prevent the collapsing of its own body.'

Roan continued. 'That's not the worst part.' He then gave a quick look around, and the experts were still observing the Golden Crow from the distance. 'These guys aren't idiots. They know there must be something under the tower that the Golden Crow wants. They are probably thinking it is the Divine Werdlem Stone or at least something very good. Even if the crow collapses and disappears, we will have a sea of cultivators from various races racing to excavate that location. We have to get the Divine Stones before it.'

Rean could imagine the situation. 'Let's go!'

The twins went around the area, trying to stay as far as possible from the Golden Crow while making their way to the huge white house. For a moment, they saw the Golden Crown's eyes glancing in their direction and prepared to run as fast as possible.

Its Spiritual Sense wasn't being restricted, and it was at the Space Bending Realm. Rean's Divine Sense Bending Skill wasn't strong enough at his cultivation level to bend it. It definitely could see the twins and all the other experts watching it from a distance. Fortunately, it saw the twins' cultivation and ignored them, resuming its attacks to the ground. It didn't consider the twins a threat.

The twins sighed in relief and quickly entered the house. At the same time, Tony spoke. 'Alright, you will find a teleport formation on the second floor. It is hidden by another formation, so pay attention.'

[He is right. I can see it already.] Sister Orb quickly spoke, resuming her job as a formation detector. [It is nothing impressive. I can hack into it in a few seconds... done. Just walk three meters to the right from the center of the room.]

Sister Orb didn't deactivate the concealing formation. She only made it possible for the twins to enter it without repercussions. It was good to keep it activated in case someone else entered the house later.

Rean looked down and saw the teleport formation. 'This thing has deteriorated quite a bit due to time. I can fix it, but it will take a few minutes. Or... we can use it as it is, but I doubt it can be used more than once.'

'No time. Let's get the Divine Stones and then we can find some other way to leave,' Roan spoke as he stepped on the formation.

Rean did the same and used a few Spiritual Stones to charge it. Finally, the formation activated, and the twins disappeared from the room.

Rean and Roan's visions blurred for a moment. Finally, everything went back to normal, and they appeared inside a huge space underground. Rean gritted his teeth and released all the Light Element and Yang Energy he could while controlling the Sunlight Energy around him. 'There is too much Sunlight Energy!'

Roan ignored his complaint. All he could pay attention to was the other enormous ball of Sunlight Energy right in front of them, even bigger than the one they saw at the top of the tower in the central area. 'Fuck, another one!'

[This thing has a lot of Divine Energy.] Sister Orb checked it.

The twins understood. What Tony felt wasn't Divine Stones, but this 'sun' instead. Perhaps it

was another Three-Legged Golden Crow.

It was then that another voice came from behind the twins. "Tom, Jerry! What are you doing

here?!"

Rean and Roan turned around. They recognized that voice. "Klifon!"
