Death... and me
chapter-1098

Fabio and all the other princes and princesses gathered in the Royal Family Teleport Formation Building. Naturally, Rean, Roan, Gulia, Regio, and everyone else was there as well, ready to teleport away.

They weren't the only ones, though. For a Teleport Formation to send them all the way to the center of the continent, it would need a huge number of Divine Stones, and only Rank One Divine Stones wouldn't cut it. That could be said to be one of the reasons why the Royal Family distributed 200 of the 250 slots available for their country to the other powers to use. That way, they could share the expense of the teleport.

Rean and Roan looked around, seeing many young men and women who were obviously below the age of 50. Each and every single one of them was at least in the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm or above. They even noticed four who were at the Late Stage of the Saint Realm! The Royal Family's representatives only had four people at the same stage.

However, one thing puzzled Rean and Roan, although Rean was the one to ask. "Senior Fabio, don't we have six slots? How come there are only four of us here?" One must remember that one slot was supposed to be given to Samanta, who didn't appear until now. The other slot they got during the gathering a few months ago.

Fabio shook his head as he replied, "I'm not sure about Samanta, who has the fifth slot. However, the sixth slot has already been taken. Your new group member shouldn't take too long to arrive."

As soon as Fabio said those words, someone came running in their direction. Finally, that person stopped in front of them while gasping for air. "Phew...I made it in time. Uncle Fabio, you sure you want to give me that last slot?"

Fabio smiled as he nodded. "I'm sure. To be honest, I didn't expect to gain another slot, so I might as well give it to you. Just use it as a chance to broaden your horizons. Milina, don't say your uncle didn't do anything good for you in the future."

Rean's group was surprised when they saw the girl. That's because...she was a fatty! One single Milina was definitely equivalent to three adults in weight alone! Another thing they noticed was that she was definitely from another race as well.

Milina then looked at Rean's group and immediately came forward to shake hands with them. "Hi, hi, hi! I'm Milina Kamos! You're probably thinking about why I'm so big, so let me tell you in advance. I'm not fat. This is a trait of my race."

Noticing everyone's puzzled expressions, Fabio explained, "She isn't lying. In fact, she's quite thin, considering her race. She's part of the Boluo race, a race that stores Divine Energy not only in their dantian but also in their bodies. Because of that, they get a huge advantage in tasks that demand a prolonged use of Divine Energy. She's also part of one of the Kamos Royal Brach Families."

"I see..." Rean then smiled back and shook hands with Milina after hearing that. "Hello there, Milina. I'm Rean Larks. Nice to meet you. Let me just tell you that this is the first time I've heard of your race."

Milina nodded as she replied, "It's normal. After all, we aren't exactly natural from Kamos Kindom. However, you will find more of us if you head to the other side of the Huring Continent. You could say that I'm a fruit of a political marriage from a few hundred years ago. By the way, Uncle Fabio isn't really my uncle, but I've known him for a long time. He can be annoying sometimes but bear with him. He's not that bad."

*Pah!*

*Ouch!*

Fabio then spoke with a trace of anger in his voice. "Who's annoying? Is that how you treat a prince of the Kamos Royal Family? Shut up and wait for the elders to activate the Teleport Formation."

Milina rubbed the back of her head as she used a Divine Sense Message to Rean and the others. 'See what I said? In any case, that's as far as he goes.'

Rean and Gulia had a good impression of the girl. "By the way, why didn't Senior Fabio put you in the group earlier? Since you're still part of a branch family, shouldn't he have chosen you first before any of us?"

Fabio and Milina shook their heads at the same time.

"I'm weak."

"She's weak."

Both of them replied...

Rean's group didn't know what to say after hearing that. If that's the case, should Fabio have really called her in the first place?

"However..." Fabio continued. "She has her moments. Perhaps she can create a miracle for herself during this recruitment. That's why I decided to give her a chance and pass her the sixth token."

Rean and the others nodded after that. Sure enough, there was a reason behind it. It's just that Fabio and Milina didn't seem to want to talk about it. All that they could tell was that Milina was in the Initial Stage of the Saint Realm.

It was then that an elder that worked in the building called everyone's attention. "Everyone, the Teleport Formation will be activated soon. Please step inside it, or you will be left behind."

Fabio looked around and couldn't help but sigh. "Well...seems like Samanta is pretty busy." He wasn't that concerned, though. "In any case, it's not like it was something that important as I know our real chances. I'll check on her again once we're back."

All the groups from the Royal Family and the other powers then got inside the Teleport Formation. Following that, the elders outside used Divine Stones to power this long-distance formation. It was also the first time Rean saw Rank Two Divine Stones. 'It seems like Rank Two Divine Stones are so rare that even the Royal Family wants to save it,' he thought... and he was right.

The Teleport Formation started to spring into life as it quickly drained the Divine Stones to dust. However, just as it was about to activate, a shadow moved into the building and jumped inside the formation in the last second.

*Vup!*

Then, with a flash of silver light, the entire group disappeared.
