Death... and me
chapter-1342

Since those with the Dragon Wing Mark saw no change as they continued to wait, Kentucky wasn’t in a hurry to arrive on the second floor. That being said, he would take the same three weeks Hurio mentioned at his current speed. This time, however, their group found ancient beasts along their way. From what they could see, that was probably because the ancient beasts they saw this time were even stronger than the ones outside. They might have stayed and resisted the Light Element and Divine Energy wave through sheer strength.

Naturally, they tried to swerve around the ancient beasts. The first and second ancient beasts showed no reaction, especially since the twins’ group was very far away. However, the third one did not fall under that. To be more specific, the twins’ group got close to it because they didn’t notice it in the first place. It was one of those rare small ancient beast types, a flying one at that.

This one looked like a raven but was white and had a third eye on its forehead. Not only was it small, like a real raven, but it also came from above the pressure restriction. One must remember that the cultivators couldn’t fly higher than twenty meters. The fact this raven could resist that pressure showed just how much stronger it was than anyone the twins had seen so far in this realm.

As soon as it appeared, its third eye shone with a red light before spatial power gathered around the twins. Kentucky didn’t even have the chance to turn around before his body and the others on his back were locked in place. The twins had felt this kind of thing before, but it was usually through Divine Energy. Divine Energy would be pressed against them, making it impossible to move. This time, however, the laws of space itself prevented them from doing anything.

The white raven then leisurely flew in the group’s direction as it opened its mouth. As soon as it opened it, some kind of power began to suck everything inside, as if it was a black hole or something. No one could do anything, not even the system. In fact, the Dimensional Realm was tightly shut for the twins because of the danger. Escaping into it was impossible.

However, just as the twins’ group seemed to be about to be eaten by the white raven, some kind of triangular-shaped object flew in between them and the ancient beast. That item also had three eyes on it, shining with the same red light as the raven’s eyes.

The raven then showed a scared expression and immediately stopped using its spatial powers. As quick as it had appeared in front of the twins, the raven turned around and dashed into the zone above the restriction limit…or so it tried.

The triangular-shaped object shot forward as well, and it was even faster than the raven. The white raven saw it coming at it as terror appeared on its three eyes. Spatial powers quickly converged, trying to form a spatial barrier between the white raven and the triangular object.

Unfortunately for the raven, the object shone with even more red light and obstructed the raven’s capability of controlling space. The barrier then shattered before it could even take form, opening the path for the triangular-shaped object to reach the white raven.

*Craaaaaaa!*

Seeing that, the white raven used all its Divine Energy to try to escape. Sadly, the object did the same thing the raven did to the twins’ group. It took control over space and locked the white raven in place. Following that, the object seemed to break into three segments before they attached themselves to the white raven’s body.

*Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz*

Red lightning came out the moment the three pieces touched the raven. The raven’s eyes contorted in pain while it tried to break free. It was all in vain, though. After a few seconds, the white raven lost all its power as the three pieces of the triangular-shaped object began to penetrate its body.

Eventually, the pieces disappeared inside the raven’s body as the raven itself began to fall from the skies. However, it didn’t fall to the ground. It opened its three eyes again and immediately spread its wings to fly once more. It’s just that it didn’t try to flee this time. Instead, it flew straight down.

The twins’ group saw all of that happen and were obviously shocked by the power of that item. As they followed the white raven with their eyes, they finally noticed that there was someone on the ground. The white raven quickly arrived at that person and landed on her arm.

“A… kid?”

Indeed. That person looked like a little girl no more than five or six years of age. She wore a spotless white robe, seeming to blend with all the snow in the surroundings. The little girl then patted the white raven’s head before she waved her hand. The white raven’s body then completely disappeared, as if it had never been there before. “Lucky! I got a Star Raven today! Those guys will be dying from jealousy when they see what I found. Hahaha!”

The little girl then looked at Kentucky and couldn’t help but be enticed by it, saying, “What a beautiful Minokawa. The feather crown on its head seems to be a mutation, but it only adds to its charm.” Of course, she also noticed Rean’s group on Kentucky’s back. “Now then, are you the cultivators taking part in the Lost Star Selection this time? You should have quite a background to have a Divine Demon Beast to fly around.”

They all understood that this little girl was not simple. Most likely, she wasn’t a kid at all. She was the first one to even identify Kentucky after the guardian beast back in the Huring Sacred Land. Let alone what she did to that ancient beast. Just how much stronger was she compared to the ancient beasts of this place?

Roan then ordered Kentucky to come down as trying to escape from such a person would be nothing more than an idiotic action. Without wasting time, Rean’s group immediately thanked that little girl.. “Thank you for saving our lives, senior.”
