Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 1557 Familiarity

'It's still not guaranteed we can't stop it, right?' Rean couldn't help but say.

However, Roan didn't see how they could stop something like that. 'Well, yeah. But what will you do? I can't see how exactly we can stop this thing.'

Rean looked down the crack and then at the pillar of light ahead. Following that, he asked the seniors around, asking, "What was located in this place before? Was it an empty space?"

One of the experts that lived nearby answered the question, replying, "It's the Light Seekers organization. They have existed for a very long time and have always tried to find a way out."

One didn't need to be smart to understand that the Light Seekers were trying something new. "Then... where are they?"

The guy pointed at the light pillar and said, "Inside that thing. As to what's happening in there, I have no clue."

Rean narrowed his eyes when suddenly, his hair changed into a mix of black and white. Soon after, he began to walk in the pillar's direction.

'What are you doing?' Roan obviously noticed that.

Well, it was quite obvious. 'I want to see if I can get close while using your Dark Element as a shield. Perhaps I can do something in there to stop this.'

Surprisingly, Roan didn't try to stop him. Instead, he also began to walk beside Rean. 'Even if I try to stop you, you won't listen. Leave the Dark Element for me to control. You get ready to heal us if we receive some damage.'

At first, no one paid much attention to the twins. Even Liman thought the twins only wanted to get a closer look. However, as they moved forward, everyone noticed that they were getting quite far.

"Rean, Roan, where are you going? Come back now before the light pillar's energy kill you!" Clinbay and Vaz warned the twins. Unfortunately, neither of the twins paid much attention.

Celis, on the other hand, just snorted. 'Hmph! As if those two would listen to anything you guys have to say.' Of course, he didn't say that loud.

Seeing that Rean and Roan weren't turning back, Vaz decided to go and take them back by himself. Roan was one thing, but it would be too much of a loss if Rean died there. He quickly took flight and sped in the twins' direction. Yet, he wasn't able to move too far.

*Bang!*

*Argh!*

The energy of the light pillar suddenly struck Vaz's body, making him vomit a bit of blood before he was forced to retreat. That scene shocked everyone around them. Vaz was in the Void Tempering Realm, while the twins were only in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. How come the twins could get that far if Vaz couldn't?

Immediately, a few other experts tried to get close as well, thinking that there was some secret to it. However, every single one of them was forced to retreat because of the pillar's energy.

"How are they doing that?"

"They seemed to be surrounded by Dark Element."

"I know. I used my Yin Energy to gather Dark Element, but I can't get anywhere as close as they are."

"Could they be involved in it?"

In fact, not even the twins were quite aware of what was happening.

'How come I don't feel any resistance whatsoever?' Rean asked. 'Is your Dark Element this potent?'

Roan shook his head, replying, 'What resistance? We aren't being affected by the light's pillar at all. It seems like the light pillar's energy is afraid of getting too close to my Dark Element.'

'That's weird,' Rean could not help but say. 'I saw the guys outside using Yin Energy to gather Dark Element. However, they were all injured when they got close. Due to their cultivation advantage, they were able to use even more Dark Element than you can at the moment.'

Roan obviously noticed that as well. He pondered for a moment when he finally understood, saying, 'It's the quality of the Dark Element, not the quantity. My Dark Element is as pure as anyone could possibly get in this Realm of Gods. It seems like this light pillar is also made of extremely pure energy, so they're canceling each other out. I just don't know why it would happen. Your Light Element would most likely get the same result.'

Rean couldn't help but feel that this situation was somewhat familiar. 'Did we pass through a similar situation before?'

Roan looked back at Rean and asked in response, 'We did? When?'

Rean shook his head after that. 'I can't remember. I just feel like it's very familiar.'

Roan obviously didn't know what to say. 'Forget it. Let's just keep moving forward.'

The surroundings gradually got brighter and brighter when suddenly, the twins seemed to pass through a wall. It was a division between the light pillar and what was inside. With that, they finally could see what was happening there.

*Roar!*

*Zush, zush, zush...*

However, they didn't have much time to think before several creatures pounced at them. "Shit!"

Without thinking twice, the twins turned around and retreated into the pillar. The creatures didn't stop there, though. They all jumped inside the light pillar, trying to get the twins.

As the twins ran, Rean finally understood why this place seemed familiar. "Fuck! It's those white powder creatures!"

Obviously, Roan made the connection as well. "This light pillar is made of the same energy as the white river. Inside is full of white powder."

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the twins to reach the other side.

"Hey, look!"

"Those twins are back!"

"They seem to be running, though." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

"Wait! There's something behind them."

Sure enough, everyone outside saw the twins and the creatures following them. It's just that no one acted until Vaz understood the peril. "Quick, help them! Don't let those creatures catch the twins. If that happens, we will lose our only clue to what is happening in there!"

As soon as those words came out, all the experts felt a sense of urgency. In the next few seconds, countless ranged attacks came raining down on the creatures behind the twins. They might not be able to get close without getting injured, but that didn't mean they could send their skills there.

Eventually, the twins jumped out of the light pillar as the creatures were delayed by the attacks. Indeed, they weren't destroyed, only delayed!
