Death... and me
chapter-2243

"Not good!" Jeskli's blood ran cold as he understood what the Archangel wanted to do. He wondered if the Archangel was crazy as he knew he wasn't the only one who would be affected by it. Yet, he didn't have time to think about it. He immediately gave up the attack and used all his energy for defense.

'Dark and Light Divine Armor!'

Jeskli's feathers and scales hardened like never before, creating a living fortress out of his body. Time and Space froze for a moment as the Spear, which was a weapon at the Legendary Level, suddenly inflated. Cracks appeared all over it, starting from the crack on the tip. Finally, not being able to hold the energy inside it anymore, all the power inside burst out.

*BOOM!*

The Spear exploded right after, creating a blast of Light Element and Divine Origin Energy that far surpassed any attack used during their combat. Jeskli, naturally, was within the range of the explosion, so he was sent flying like a meteor into the distance.

*Arrrrghhh!*

Jeskli was truly caught with his guard down this time. He was definitely proud of his Minokawa Bloodline and the defense it carried. Yet, even it could not stop the explosion from breaking a few of his bones. Many of his Feather Blades were pulverized while countless of his scales cracked. His blood flowed like rivers from those cracks, showing the seriousness of the injuries.

Yet, the Archangel wasn't any better. To lure Jeskli into the explosion range, he obviously had to be somewhat close to it as well. Of course, his reaction was a lot faster than Jeskli's since he knew what he was doing, but his lower defense compared to Jeskli's still caused his body to be severely affected just as much.

Two of his wings were just destroyed there and then, which was the price he paid to defend himself from the explosion, other than several other injuries inside his body. Many of his white feathers were lost on the other wings as well. His hair was messy and dirty, something you would almost never see in an angel, let alone an Archangel. White golden blood flowed from his orifices on his face as a determined expression appeared there.

The Archangel was already expecting that. As much as it hurt his heart to sacrifice one of his spears, he had to do it. However, he knew that wouldn't kill Jeskli. Not to mention that losing one of his spears would definitely affect his combat power. He only did what he did because he wanted a chance to move away from the combat, and that's exactly what he got.

Without thinking twice, the Archangel shot in the direction of the top of the mountain. His objective was simple. Get inside the Cubic Light Barrier and kill Rean before he succeeds in destroying the Formation.

Jeskli couldn't do anything about it, so he immediately used the communication badge. 'Careful! He is coming for you! I'm right behind, but I will be a little bit too late to stop him. If you can, run now!' Naturally, he did his best to recover from the explosion and followed right behind. Still, we can't forget one can't use their Divine Energy to fly in this place. Jeskli could only fly because he was a bird, so he was simply using his wings. Yet, it was a lot slower when one didn't have the support of Divine Energy Flight.

Luan obviously was one of those holding a communication badge, so he quickly shouted to Roan on his side. "Father, the Archangel is coming!"

Roan opened his eyes and touched Luan's shoulder in a split second. With a flash of silver light, both men disappeared from sight. Naturally, they went straight into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Of course, the entrance of the Dimensional Realm was left there, so the Archangel could attack it. Nonetheless, Roan wasn't worried. He knew the Archangel was more worried about what was happening in the barrier, so he would just ignore it. As for Rean... he was in doubt about what was going to happen after what they had just found.

Sure enough, the Archangel didn't even pay attention to where the entrance of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm was left. He could attack and potentially destroy it with the difference in cultivation. Yet, it would take too long, and Jeskli would probably catch up to him during that time. Instead, he flashed into the Cubic Light Barrier straight away.

As soon as he appeared on the other side, he saw Rean standing there with a bitter smile on his face. Rean was looking directly at him as if he had been waiting for a while.

Well, the Archangel didn't care. What mattered was that Rean hadn't destroyed the Formation yet. He pushed his Spear forward, aiming to destroy Rean in a single blow. He could deal with Jeskli outside after that. Besides, with their difference in cultivation, there was no way Rean would be able to resist his attack.

However, Rean didn't try to run or defend to start with. Instead, he simply spoke a few words. "My name is Rean Larks. However, in my previous life, my name was Rean Faran, a metallurgist on a planet called Earth on the other half of this Universe."

The Archangel's face immediately changed into an expression of shock and disbelief. His Archangel's Spear suddenly stopped right in front of Rean's face. The Space, Time, Light Element and Divine Origin Energy instantly disappeared, making the Archangel throw up blood. He had attacked with all his might, so to stop his Spear at such short notice caused his Divine Origin Energy to go chaotic in his body.

Yet, he looked like he couldn't feel anything. Such was his surprise after hearing Rean's words. "No... It can't be..."

Seeing the shock on the Archangel's face, Rean confirmed his suspicions after he found some peculiar information about the Archangel's past. "Hello, Romario Faran. Or should I say... Long time no see, Dad?"
