Death… And Me

Chapter 483 - Where Are The Twins?

Chapter 483 - Where Are The Twins?

Zuan shook his head as he replied.

'Out of the question. You should understand how important you are to the sect at the moment. I can't allow anything to happen to you two. Simply put, you two are too weak.'

Roan didn't care what he said as he retaliated with his own response.

'How many Nascent Soul Experts do you have here, to begin with? We both know that you won't send all of them. After all, if something happens to them, it would be a great loss for the sect. You and the others will have to gather Core Formation or Core and Soul Fusion Realm experts to make up for the Nascent Souls' low numbers.'

Rean agreed with Roan.

'Back when we were at the Initial Stage of the Core Formation Realm, we combined were already able to fight at the Core and Soul Fusion Realm level. Let alone now that we are in the Middle Stage. Don't worry, we have our own way to escape danger if something happens.'

Zuan snorted in response as he remained adamant in his decision.

'I don't care. I'm definitely not risking your lives. Do you hear me?'

Rean and Roan sighed but didn't say anything else. Of course, they wanted to enter because Malaka and Calina were there. Their lives depended on Calina on top of that. The fact that they were still alive showed that Calina was alive as well. However, they didn't know for how long that would be the case.

'Alright. Sorry for asking, Elder Zuan.'

Zuan nodded, satisfied. It was already a significant exception to bring them here, to begin with.

Well, the fact was that Rean and Roan already expected that answer. They only tried it just to be sure. Since it didn't work, they would need to enter it by themselves. And with that...

'Sister Orb, this thing won't block the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm's Circuitry Teleport Formation, right?'

[Obviously. This thing is not a spatial formation to start with, so why would it be able to block you outside? However, without a save point, it can only teleport you randomly in the direction you want. I can't guarantee anything else after that.]

The twins nodded, not minding it too much. Even if they were teleported inside the earth, they can use their own strength and come out slowly. Although Earth Element wasn't their forte, it isn't as if they couldn't use it.

Rean and Roan then turned around and sat by a corner as they waited. Zuan and the others saw it and nodded. Zuan knew that their sister was in there, but the twins' lives were a lot more important. Not to mention that unlike other missions, the other powers would notice the twins straight away if they entered. That wouldn't be good if they were targeted inside.

Zuan then returned his attention to the selection of the teams. In the end, he and Mia decided to use Tiria and Juvian. Those two were already used to working together, so this Nascent Soul Realm combination could prove to be great in an emergency. After that, he went through the Core and Soul Fusion and Core Formation Realm elders and disciples.

There were a few familiar figures in this group, like Elder Hulian from the Iron and Blood Faction and Odeni Fuller from the Sect Entrance Exam. Between the Core Formation Realm cultivators, it was possible to recognize a few Inner Sect disciples that they fought against before.

The other sects quickly finished selecting their own members as well. It was just that by now, the red barrier had already closed. Well, it mattered little since Droman simply created another short circuit. Just like that, another enormous gap was opened once again, however...

"We better not do this too many times. This is a Natural Formation, so it can adapt. The gap created using my method was only half of the size of the previous one."

Rean almost laughed out loud when he heard that. Not only him, but Qia was doing her best to do the same. They knew that Droman was lying. All he did was change the current to another type. It was such a subtle detail that no one else noticed. However, the couple definitely did since they knew it very well. Droman was just trying to make his ability more valuable.

Nonetheless, the gap was already created. The experts could only grit their teeth and enter straight away. Zuan and the others looked as those people passed through the gap and suddenly accelerated. Well, they knew that it was just the time acceleration inside that made it look like it. Eventually, the barrier closed again, and they were not able to see anything else anymore.

"By the way, how will we know if they decide to leave?"

Droman appeased that cultivator.

"Don't worry. As long as you strike the red barrier, it will retaliate with that Red Lightning. Once I see that happening, I can make the same formation to open a gap once again."

The other two Formation Masters couldn't help but ask.

"By the way, what kind of formation is that? I've never seen that arrangement of runes before."

Droman laughed in response as he said.

"Right? Unfortunately, it's a secret, so I can't tell you."

Mia ignored that as she looked at the barrier.

"All we can do now is wait. Fortunately, it shouldn't take too long to obtain some results."

Kocei nodded.

"True. Since the time inside seems to be at least ten times higher, the events in there will happen a lot sooner for us outside."

Zuan also added his own comments.

"In any case, we're just vanguards. When the experts of the Imperial Family or other interested countries arrive, more of them will enter this thing. I just hope they have another way to get inside since Droman can't use the same formation forever."

"The Imperial Family probably has its own ways. Even our Formation Masters were confident that they could pass through it, let alone them. I wouldn't be surprised if the Imperial Family's Formation Masters have a method as fast as Droman's to get in there."

It was at this moment that Zuan noticed a problem.

"Hmm? Where are the twins?"

Mia, Droman, Qia, and the others felt a chill on their backs. They quickly looked to the side where they were sitting just a moment ago. However, because they were all concerned with the red barrier striking back at the experts entering it, they forgot the twins for a moment.

Rean and Roan already expected that it would happen, so they sat in a place where they knew they would be forgotten, even if for just a moment. They sat quite far in the back, far away from the natural formation. Rean then kept his Radar Skill on, waiting for a moment that the experts' Spiritual Senses relaxed their attention on them. Obviously, they took that chance to enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm without even a single person noticing it.

"Did they enter through the gap as well?"

"Impossible! We were all looking directly at it with both of our eyes and Spiritual Senses. Do you think two Core Formation Realm brats could avoid our detection?"

"But it's a fact that they disappeared. At the very least, I can't see them with my Spiritual Sense."

Of course, this conversation was only happening among the Dalamu Sect's members. The other sects still haven't noticed the twins' disappearance. Well, they weren't paying attention to the twins to start with.

Zuan spread his Spiritual Sense everywhere, but even his Saint Realm cultivation couldn't find them.

"Those idiots!"

Even though they didn't see it, Zuan, Mia, Droman, and Qia were sure that they definitely entered the natural formation. The only question was how...

***

Going one day back in time, when the natural formation first appeared. Or better, ten or so days' time inside the formation...

Calina and Malaka were blinded by the red light of the formation, not seeing anything. The same thing happened to Kuana, her friends, and the other cultivators at the valley entrance. However, Calina quickly noticed that bright light disappear as something embraced her together with the other girls.

Immediately, she heard Malaka's voice.

"Don't worry, it's Kentucky. He's covering us with his wings."

That warning wasn't for Calina since she also understood that straight away. Malaka was talking to Kuana, Laffey, and Cassia. Because they were too close to each other, Kentucky didn't try to separate them. There wasn't enough time, so he took all five inside.

Kuana's group quickly calmed down as they waited. It was still possible to see the intense red light coming from the gaps in Kentucky's wings. Finally, the red light began to disappear around a minute later. Only then did Kentucky open his wings again.

Malaka and the other girls looked around and saw that all the camps had been swept away. As for the cultivators, they were still alive but had obtained a few injuries. The only ones who seemed to be fine were those who had methods to protect themselves or those who had higher cultivation like the Core and Soul Fusion Realm experts.

"Kentucky, are you okay?"

Malaka looked at the demon beast and saw some of his feathers and scales had some smoke coming out of them. Those were the ones that stayed outside.

*Chick! Chick!*

Kentucky then flapped his wings to cool them down. From the looks of it, it was nothing more than a hot breeze for the Minokawa.

Kuana's group then looked at the bird before looking at Malaka and Calina.

"Although, it was a coincidence that we were close. I'll thank you for the help."

Malaka quickly hugged Kentucky.

"You did a great job, Kentucky!"

*Chick!*

The bird then spread its chest as if it was saying. You can count on me!

Calina smiled at that before turning her attention to the surroundings.

"Now then, just what happened here?"
