Death... and me
chapter-1642

Roan then looked at the human and demon beast in the Void Tempering Realm, saying, “If you two pay very close attention to me with your natural spatial perceptions, you can probably answer this spirit’s question.”

The human and the demon beast were already surprised Roan could see the spirit. However, what really shocked them was when they did what Roan said. “You!”

It was very, very small. Almost imperceptible even. However, it was definitely there. “You can use Space Power! How?!”

As mentioned before, Void Tempering Realm beings saw each other as if there were black holes in their natural spatial perceptions. They simply couldn’t hide that easily unless they were using some skill capable of doing that. Right now, they could see a very small black point in their perception that was easy to gloss over. Nevertheless, Roan definitely had it in himself. That meant Roan could definitely use Spatial Powers or had natural spatial perception at the very least.

The spirit was also in the Void Tempering Realm, so he was also shocked. “Transition Realm capable of controlling space! Just how the hell did you achieve that?”

Roan shook his head, responding, “Even if you ask me, I have no idea. I just know that ever since I got to the Middle Stage of the Transition Realm, I was able to feel and control a very tiny amount of it. Of course, compared to the three of you, I’m nothing but an ant in this aspect.” Roan then coldly smiled. “However, if we talk about strength alone, then probably even the three of you together wouldn’t be my match.”

Roan’s words obviously didn’t ring very well in the group’s ears. “Are you trying to pick a fight?”

Roan denied it, though. “I just want to join some group, and the fact this spirit is with you caught my attention. I have no intention of having you carry me. It will be enough for me as long as I don’t have to carry you instead. With this Kipos and me there, the four of us will have a much higher chance of concluding the Deep Sea Monster Assault test.”

The spirit couldn’t help but ask, “You seem pretty confident, no?”

Roan nodded, replying, “I’m strong. Simple as that. So, how is it? We still have several days until the Deep Sea Monster Assault test starts. If you want, I don’t mind entering an arena and fighting you to prove my words.”

The human narrowed his eyes in response. “Have you even fought a Void Tempering Realm enemy before?”

Roan nodded, saying, “I fought two of them a few days ago, and I can even sign a Soul Binding Contract stating that I’m telling the truth.”

The demon beast snorted in response. “Hmph! What use is there for a Soul Binding Contract in your case? It’s the spatial powers that allow others to get rid of the Soul Binding Contract’s seal. Since you can use a little bit of it, you probably can get rid of them as well.”

Roan had to admit the guy was correct. “Then we can simply fight in an arena.”

”There’s no need,” Suddenly, the spirit intervened. “Let him join the group.”

The human and demon beast were taken aback. “Why? Just because he said so? The amount of spatial power he can control is ridiculously low. Sure, we’re impressed he can do that at his level, but that’s about it.”

The spirit then explained, “Have I ever made a bad judgment before ever since we got together?”

Immediately, the other two went quiet. From the looks of it, the spirit was the leader in their group. At the very least, the human and demon beast trusted it quite a lot. “If you say so, then we won’t complain.”

Roan faintly smiled in response. “That’s good.”

The spirit then changed the topic. “First, what about our names? I’m Krikei, a member of the Kipos Spirit Race. As far as spirits go, we’re quite behind in the Spirit Races’ rank and could be said to be fairly common in between.”

Roan nodded, saying, “Roan Larks. I’m on a journey to Jhiod, and I found this method to enter it.”

The human was the next one. “I’m Lita Subao. Obviously, I’m a human, just like you.”

The demon beast in human form was the last one. “Just call me Vrie. I’m a Silver-eyed Black Tarantula.”

Krikei immediately took the chance to ask about something that was bothering him after the introductions. “Something tells me that you aren’t joking about your strength. If that’s the case, why did you come to us? There are several bigger groups around with Transition and Void Tempering Realm members among them. You wouldn’t have had so much trouble joining their forces. Not to mention you could prove your strength during the test, so no one would use you like a cannon fooder to scout the front either.”

Roan agreed with Krikei. “You are correct. However, there isn’t much of a reason for me to approach you. I just so happened to see a spirit, which is a very rare occurrence. Let alone a spirit that’s trying to join some power of another continent. So, let’s just say that destiny brought me to you.”
