Death... and me
chapter-1005

Sansa and the others were taken aback. They had just seen the range of Roan's Death World and thought that it was the limit. Never did they imagine that Roan wasn't using even half of its full range. Because they wanted to stay close and act once the battle between Sansa and the twins was over, they got caught up by it.

Surprisingly, Sansa instead received a Divine Sense Message from Rean, telling her, 'Stay still. Just protect yourself.' Sansa didn't know why Rean would ask her to do that, but she quickly passed the message to her guildmate, and they prepared for any possible attack.

Knowing they had everyone inside Roan's Death World, Rean and Roan immediately started the next part of their plan.

'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!'

Their clones immediately appeared and attacked Oglico, Samu, Difran, and Ancel from several positions and angles. Those guys couldn't see inside the Death World since they missed the right time to retreat. Fortunately for them, their Divine Senses still worked. They were able to see the moment Rean, Roan, and the clones' attacks appeared from the Death World's darkness.

'Defend!'

The sound of Divine and Soul Power skills echoed everywhere in the Death World. Rean and Roan's shadows appeared and disappeared because of Rean's Divine Sense bending skill and the Dark World. Then again, Rean and Roan knew that they couldn't beat so many Saint Realm cultivators at once. It would consume way too much energy in the process.

With that, as soon as Olgico and the others got used to Rean and Roan's assault, Rean deployed the third part of the plan.

Roan's Death World just so happened to be similar to the range Rean's Divine Sense bending skill could cover. The only problem was that the further away something was from Rean, the harder it was to cover them with his protection against Divine Sense.

That wasn't a problem at this moment, though. Oglico's group was only using their Divine Sense to protect themselves. They weren't paying too much attention to anyone else other than Rean, Roan, and their clones...or so it was supposed to be.

None of them knew, but Rean's Divine Sense bending skill also covered themselves! That meant that Olgico, Samu, Difran, and Ancel couldn't see each other with their Divine Senses anymore. They already weren't paying attention to the others to start with, so now, they just paid even less attention.

At some point, they weren't battling Rean and Roan anymore. They were battling themselves inside the Death World! Rean and Roan used themselves and the clones to bring those guys together before disappearing, making it look like the person in front of them was one of them. Divine Sense also didn't work against their 'friends' because of Rean, so it was natural that they thought of the one they were fighting against to be Rean and Roan.

Death World, Divine Sense bending skill, complete darkness, and lures! That's all Rean and Roan needed to have these guys fight each other.

Of course, because of Death World, no one could really tell what was happening inside. The only exceptions to this were Fabio and Erfalis. Their Divine Senses weren't blocked, plus their cultivation was too strong for Rean's bending skill to work on them.

'Unbelievable!'

'Truly impressive!'

Erfalis and Fabio were genuinely shocked by the twins' display. Using almost no energy whatsoever, they were about to eliminate their strongest contenders. The only time Rean and Roan acted was when someone from Oglico's group was about to leave the Death World. They would appear on its borders and force them back inside to fight each other once again.

*Clang!*

Suddenly, one of the Anti-Soul Power Plates fell to the ground. If one was asking why Oglico's group wasn't using Soul Power to scan their opponents, that was more or less the reason. Their Soul Power was completely focused on the plates. If they diverted it to scan the surroundings, they would let it drop and get obviously eliminated.

Olgico's group was basically similar in strength with their cultivations at the Initial Stage of the Saint Realm, so it made sense that they were being forced to dire straights against themselves. Once someone screwed up against the other, they soon dropped their plate.

Immediately after, Erfalis acted, using his Divine Energy to bring the loser out of the Death World. After all, the others couldn't tell who dropped their Anti-Soul Power Plate. Naturally, they couldn't tell that they shouldn't attack that target either.

Roan couldn't help but sigh after seeing that. He was hoping that Erfalis wouldn't intervene so that he could use those guys to fight each other until the end. Rean contacted him in the Death World, telling them, 'Well, let them finish themselves. We can do something else in the meantime.'

'Something else?' Roan asked.

Rean smiled as he answered. 'Yeah, come with me. It will be fun.'

*Clang...clang...*

Eventually, two more plates were dropped, deciding the fates of their holders. Ancel, Difran, and Samu were now out of the competition.

Only then did Oglico notice that the attacks stopped coming at him. He thought he had finally forced the twins' group to lose. However...

*Vup!*

Roan's Death World suddenly disappeared, allowing Oglico to see what was happening around him. Difran, Samu, and Ancel were gone! Sansa had an expression as confused as Oglico himself. It's just that although she heard so many clashes happening in the Death World, she and her guildmate never had to use a single skill. Oglico, on the other hand, was obviously injured everywhere and was greatly fatigued.

If there was anything good left for him, it was the fact that he still hadn't dropped his Anti-Soul Power Plate.

As for a certain pair of black and white-haired twins...

"Hey, you didn't use your Death World to cheat, right?" Rean asked with an angry expression.

"Bullshit!" Roan was even angrier than Rean as he replied, "Do you think someone like me would cheat?"

Rean nodded. "Hmph! Of course, you would. For you, everything is valid as long as you win."

Roan rebuked back. "That's only when we're talking about dangerous situations. I'm winning this game fair and square!"

Unexpectedly, they were sitting on the ground and...playing cards!
