Death… And Me

Chapter 67 - Give Me A Hug!

Chapter 67 - Give Me A Hug!

The twins didn't waste much time and removed the skins with their Swords. This is still inside Azure Hyenas Territory, so they need to be fast before a new group appears. After taking what they needed, Rean and Roan left straight away.

The death of those Hyenas didn't seem to affect the others very much. But that was understandable. They had a vast territory, so now and then, they would lose a few groups due to the fight for space.??

The night quickly came while Rean and Roan kept hidden on the other side of the lake. By now, they had already prepared the skin to cover themselves when they go there. Everything went quiet, and you could only hear the sound of a few Hyenas' that weren't sleeping for some reason. They waited several hours but noticed in the end that some Hyenas would always be awoken. If they kept at it any longer, the day would come, and they would need to wait for the next night.

Roan then looked around before saying.

"No other way, let's go."

He started to gather Spiritual Energy around his body and manipulate it to assimilate the Dark Element on the surroundings.

After seeing that, Rean said while laughing.

"My beloved brother, come, give me a hug!"

Roan felt a chill on his back and instinctively jumped away.

"Hey, if you stay far, how do you expect me to fit inside your Spiritual Energy range?"

"Fuck you! If you say something like that again, see if I don't kick you while we are in the middle of the Hyenas."

Rean laughed even more. Of course, not loud enough to alert the Hyenas in the distance.

Rean and Roan then got close together and put one arm around the shoulders of the other. They looked like two drunk guys who were relying on the other to not fall on the ground, it was apparent how neither side liked it either.

"Let's go."

Rean nodded, and he started to control his Light Element as well. But instead of gathering it, Rean used his Light Element Control to make the little light around to circumvent around Roan's Dark Element Cover. Although it wasn't perfect and Rean couldn't bend all the light, the majority definitely moved. Without a doubt, this is an almost perfect camouflage technique.

They moved slowly and soon entered the Hyenas range. As expected, the majority were lying on the ground while letting their bodies absorb the Water Element naturally. It was particularly enviable since they could do it even while sleeping.

Rean and Roan were not in a hurry. They moved step by step, slowly making their way to the Azure Flowers. Of course, they had to keep their attention since now and then, one or other Hyena would get up to do something.

The closer they got to the Azure Flowers, the bigger those Azure Hyenas became. The rules here were quite straight forward. The stronger you are, the closer you can be to the Azure Flowers during the night. Obviously, the Stage Two Azure Hyenas were sleeping just beside the Azure Flowers, with the leader right in the middle.

Rean and Roan were not intending to go close to those Hyenas, though. The mission only said that you needed one Azure Flower, there were a few small ones that aren't that close to them. Finally, they got close enough to grab one.

Hearing Sister Orb's voice, Rean and Roan sighed in relief. However, it was at this moment that one of the Stage Two Hyenas got up. Not only that, but it was also looking at their direction furiously. Still, Rean and Roan could see that it had a puzzled expression too, which showed that it couldn't see them at all. Since that is the case, how does it know that they are there?

Rean and Roan miscalculated one thing. Their smell! It wasn't that their own smell could be felt. The twins were fully covered in Azure Hyena's skins, so their smell wasn't coming out. The problem was which Hyenas they chose to take the skins from!

The Hyenas they killed were the weakest ones. That being said, this level of Azure Hyena should not have been allowed to get so close to the Azure Spiritual Flowers. That's why that one felt furious when those Hyenas' Smell appeared.

Noticing that the Stage Two Hyena was still somewhat puzzled while looking in their direction, Rean and Roan started to move back slowly. Every step further away was one step closer to safety. That Stage Two Hyenas also didn't move since it couldn't see if there was really a weak Hyena there or not.

Unfortunately, something unexpected happened. The reason that there were so few Azure Spiritual Flowers was that they couldn't spread too far from the main one. Rean and Roan had noticed a much bigger Azure Spiritual Flower before, but they totally ignored it since the Azure Hyena Leader was always beside it. Even his food was brought by the other Hyenas so that it didn't need to move from there.

But because the twins took that flower far away, the Main Azure Flower noticed its disappearance and trembled. The Water Element's flow around the Azure Flowers went entirely in disarray, which immediately woke up all the sleeping Hyenas. The leader instantly stood up and looked around. Almost immediately, it noticed the Azure Spiritual Flower that had disappeared.

With a roar of the Hyenas' Leader, all the Azure Hyenas started to move like crazy as if they were looking for something. Rean and Roan began to sweat could. They were doing their best to get out of the Hyenas' circle while dodging the Hyenas that passed running around.

Unfortunately, dodging so many Hyenas while keeping the camouflage was too hard, and they finally stumbled in one of them.

The cover immediately disappeared, making them appear for all the Hyenas to see.

There was no other choice...

"Run!"
