Death... and me
chapter-1462

*ROOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!*

The leader of the Pol Continent’s forces in the barrier suddenly heard a defying roar soon after. One must understand that because of the barrier, things like sound simply couldn’t get through easily. For that roar to be this loud while being on the other side, the owner of it must be incredibly powerful.

It turns out that the leader was right. It didn’t take long for the experts watching over the weakened barrier to understand that it originated from the Convergence Crystal. Especially after that roar, which was even louder on the side of the Treavin Continent. Immediately, they all turned around and fled.

The Flash Beast would always go after the highest concentration of Divine Energy other than the continental barrier. That meant that the demon beasts and humanoid races were more attractive to the Flash Beast. Let alone in a continent like Treavin, where Divine Energy was scarce. Because of that, the energy within dantians and cores became more prominent.

Experts that had an especially high concentration of Divine Energy in their dantians were acting more like beacons at this moment. They all knew they couldn’t fight that thing, so they fled for their lives, with the goal of also warning the powers of the continent.

Meanwhile, Rean’s group was already having difficulty resisting the continental barrier as the Flash Beast came out of the chasm. They had just entered it when they found the big Kibin, so they were quite far from the other side. Nevertheless, Sharky’s environmental advantages saved their lives.

*Shua!*

Suddenly, Sharky shot out of the gradually strengthening continental barrier, pulling the twins’ group with him. Well, in fact, he was the greedy type. He wanted to flee alone. It’s just that Rean, Roan, and especially Kentucky kept him very close. He had no way of escaping if he didn’t bring everyone with him. Of course, Rean helped by using the Enhancement ability, so it wasn’t like they dragged Sharky down that much.

“Phew… W-we’re out… we’re out…” Sharky exclaimed as he reduced his speed. He didn’t stop, though. Staying close to the barrier wasn’t good either, so he tried to get away from it.

The twins’ group was still in the underground portion of the sea. However, they could see that the underground world began to expand very quickly. To be more specific, the ceiling was the part getting higher and higher. “Where are we?”

Sharky then answered, “The Under Desert Sea only continues until you leave the continental barrier. The underground sea disappears very quickly once you get to the other side. However, according to the jade slip you gave me, we’ll need to keep close to the ground for a while to avoid problems.”

The twins nodded after hearing that. They also looked through the jade slip, so they knew Sharky was right. That route was made to allow them to enter the Pol Continent without being caught by the high-level aquatic demon beasts defending the exit. With that said, the underground sea disappeared quickly, giving space for the normal Sea that Pol Continent was all about. However, it wasn’t until two hours later that the twins’ group finally emerged on the surface.

Rean, Roan, Kentucky, Falangia, Rafatia, and Luan looked around. Of course, all they could see was water, water, and more water. There was no land to speak of. The ones most affected by it were obviously Falangia’s group. They lived in the Treavin Continent all their lives, so seeing this much water was an eye-opener.

“Sharky, in which direction can we find an island?” Roan asked the Blade Tail Shark.

Sharky pondered a bit over the area they were in before taking out another jade slip. This one, however, was a broad map of the area. “Here, take this. It shows all the islands you can find in this sea.”

“This sea?” Rean couldn’t help but ask, “Is Pol Continent separated by seas instead of regions?”

Sharky nodded in response. “Yes. As you probably know, 99% or more of the Pol Continent is basically covered in water. With that said, it’s better to separate the area into seas instead of regions. At the moment, we are in the Foczi Sea, the most southeastern sea of the Pol Continent.”

Sharky then looked at Rean and Roan and seemed eagerly waiting for something. The twins, obviously, didn’t ignore that. Rean then decided to get over with it. “Alright, alright. We’ll do it now.”

Roan nodded. “I have already prepared the pill for you. With Rean’s Purification skill, the process will be even faster.” Roan immediately threw a pill to Sharky, who swallowed it without thinking twice.

Following that, Rean touched Sharky’s body.

‘Life Style, Third Form, Purification!’

In a mix of delight and pain, Sharky’s body began to get healed. All his hidden injuries, caused by mistakes during his cultivation, disappeared one after another. The defects in his meridians were destroyed by the Dark Element and were rebuilt with Roan’s pill.

Because Sharky was two realms above the twins, that process took almost an entire hour to finish. Nevertheless, Sharky couldn’t be happier as he could feel his body improving over time. No, to be more specific, his body wasn’t improving. Instead, it was becoming what it was supposed to be if he had never done anything wrong in his cultivation.

“Hahaha! I feel so powerful!” Sharky roared, excited. He had never felt so good before. He then looked at the twins and wondered if he would win a battle against them right now. However, one Roan was enough to put him on his knees. What would it be like if the twins and Kentucky attacked together? He quickly gave up on the idea.

Sharky then shook his head and said, “Well, I guess everything is over, no?”

Roan nodded. He didn’t trust Sharky very much, so he wanted to get rid of him. “You can go now. However, I left a small gift in your body with my pill earlier. If you open your mouth to talk about us… hehe.”

Sharky felt a chill on his back and quickly nodded. He simply didn’t care anymore.. Now that he was fully healed, he just wanted to go away and never see Roan again in his life. “Then, farewell!”
