Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 2363 Turn Around



However, Essefy also noticed that Rean and Kentucky's Domains seemed weird. They were definitely activated, but their power was way below what he experienced back in Limigo. Back then, Rean's Domain, especially, completely negated the devils' domain effects on him. Yet, it seemed to be doing little against these devils now. 'I see... so that's how it is.'

The devils fighting Rean and Kentucky got more confident as they increased the number of injuries on Rean and Kentucky's bodies. Even Kentucky was bleeding from several places with his defense. Both Rean and Kentucky seemed to get more and more desperate, trying to fight back.

Finally, they gave up fighting and immediately turned around to run!

"Where do you think you are going?" Rean's Devil immediately teleported in front of him, using his higher speed with the help of the environment. 

Kentucky's one, on the other hand, used a strange ability that seemed to slow Kentucky's flying speed. That way, Kentucky got quite slower than the Devil himself. 

Both devils prepared their best attacks and came shooting straight at Rean and Kentucky. However...

*Bzzzzz!*

Rean and Kentucky's Domains suddenly increased several times in power. Rean's Domain completely nullified both of these devils' domain effects, being them detrimental to their enemies or beneficial to themselves. At the same time, Kentucky's blade feathers got a lot sharper and more resistant, not to mention their numbers increased severalfold. 

They then turned around, and their speeds completely changed. In a flash, both Kentucky and Rean were right in front of their opponents!

'Life Fire, Third Form, Flaming Blade Arc!'

'Divine Bird Strike!'

"What?!" Seeing how their domains lost all their capability and how they were completely surrounded by Kentucky's feather, both devils didn't know what to do. Of course, they wouldn't wait for Rean and Kentucky to simply hit them. They also raised their weapons and counterattacks, unfortunately...

*Clang, Clang, Crash, Crash! Swish! Bang!*

Rean's Dark Star Sword, fuelled by his Sword Aura, Sky Energy, and by being several times better than its level suggested, broke the Devil's weapon in a single go! The Flaming Blade Arc then continued ahead, cutting the Devil in half!

As for Kentucky's, he didn't destroy his opponent's weapon, but he also had sky energy and regal bloodline. The power of his attacker immediately deflected his opponent's weapon, followed by his beak crashing against the Devil's chest! The Devil was instantly broken to pieces!

Essefy and the other Devil, who were still fighting, suddenly stopped after seeing what happened with their Divine Senses. Essefy knew that Rean and Kentucky were hiding their power, but the strength they showed just now was even higher than what they displayed back in Limigo!

It was true. Back then, Rean and Kentucky refrained from using Sky Energy. They only relied on their other advantages, which was already more than enough for the situation since they had many allies and an advantage in numbers.

Here, however, if they didn't play things right and showed their cards beforehand, they would definitely defeat their opponents, possibly even kill them, but it wasn't guaranteed. After all, the environment truly gives a boost to the devils. Too bad that it also boosts Rean and Kentucky when it comes to the excess of Dark Element.

To make sure they wouldn't escape, Rean and Kentucky played the role of being weaker in an environment that 'didn't' help them. When the Devils reached the peak of their confidence, thinking that they would absolutely kill the duo, Rean and Kentucky showed all their cards at once. It was just too late to readapt to the situation and flee.

Suddenly, Rean and Kentucky shot forward, flying in the direction of the last Devil.

"Fuck!" How could that Devil not understand what they wanted? He immediately used his full strength to force Essefy back and immediately turned around to run. Unfortunately, that was still not enough.

Kentucky circled around, closing the retreat path of the Devil. In the air, not even Rean nor Roan could beat Kentucky in speed, let alone this Devil. Rean and Essefy arrived right behind.

What happened after that wasn't really a battle. With three against one, they quickly finished the last Devil, putting an end to the battle in this place.

"Phew..." Rean let out a breath. "It worked just as planned. We didn't give them time to use any method of communication, so probably no one knows we killed them."

Kentucky shook his head. "Not really, right? I mean, Elemental Space Realm Peak Stage... They sure have left their Soul Flames somewhere. Now that they are dead, the ones taking care of their flames will notice them extinguishing."

"Oh! There is that too." Rean had to admit Kentucky was right.

Essefy didn't seem that much concerned. "It is fine. We just need to quickly leave this place. Still, I didn't expect to find three such high-level devils in a place like this."

Rean nodded as he activated his Light and Divine Sense Bending Skill. Right after, they began to fly away once again. "I also found it strange, especially the fact they weren't using their Divine Senses. It seems like there is an encirclement happening around the area where senior Zandolf is located. Of course, we might have been just unlucky and met a small group that was flying somewhere else."

Essefy didn't believe it. "That's too much of a coincidence. Although I hope that to be the case, we should be ready to find even more Devils. Let's increase our speed. If the same thing happens again, then we will know."

Rean and Kentucky nodded before Kentucky spoke. "In that case, jump on my back. I'm definitely the fastest when it comes to flying."

Neither Essefy nor Rean complained, and they hopped on Kentucky's back before the bird shot into the distance.

As they flew, Essefy finally found the chance to comment. "Still, I couldn't believe you guys were hiding your strength. Even if you took those devils by surprise, that far surpasses what someone like me can do."

Rean smiled. "We have some tricks."

Seeing that neither Rean nor Kentucky wanted to talk about it, Essefy didn't insist. Everyone had their own secrets, and he wasn't different. "Alright then. How far until we reach senior Zandolf's location?"

Rean checked his communication badge. "Shouldn't take more than thirty minutes at this speed."
