Death... and me
-
chapter-2351
The needle in Kanglia's hand shot forward, piercing into the formation barrier. It then exploded with a powerful wave of Divine Origin Energy and Spatial Power, creating a huge force inward. Seeing that, Rean couldn't help but feel a little afraid. 'If it was thrown at me and I didn't dodge, I would be dead for sure...'
However, his mind quickly returned to the task ahead as he watched the location where the needle hit. There, a small crack opened, revealing the area behind. Most of the devils were outside, fighting against the Realm of Gods' army. Yet, there were still quite a few inside.
Nonetheless, Klangia and everyone else rushed in. That crack gave enough time for them to enter, but it would be impossible to bring an army through the same method.
As soon as Kanglia appeared inside, a wave of red blood energy came crashing against her. Spatial Power and Time enveloped it, making the attack even more powerful.
"Hmph!" However, Kanglia wasn't the least bit afraid. It would be ridiculous that such a commotion caused by the needles wouldn't be noticed straight away. The moment they stepped inside, they knew they would be under attack.Kanglia's hands moved, showing a pair of white fans. Spatial and Time Power danced around it while Wind Element and Laws created a huge tornado around her.
*Swash!*
The wave of blood energy sank into the tornado, disappearing without a trace. Yet, the Devil who attacked didn't stop and immediately threw himself into the tornado. Rean could feel that the guy was in the Space-Time Realm, just like Kanglia. Yet, he was only in the Initial Stage. The reason he dared to do that was because of the environment, carrying much more Devilish energy and Dark Element inside this formation. That gave him a great boost in power.
Rean then ignored that and quickly looked for the formation core. It wasn't hard to see it, though. A few tens of kilometers away, the ground shined with powerful waves of Devilish Energy and Dark Element. At the very center, it was possible to see something that looked like a dried branch. Yet, the power being released by that branch far surpassed the energy of the surroundings.
Rean then looked at Essefy, who was already charging at the formation core. 'Careful. That is most likely the core, but I can tell that is no the only one.'
'What?!' Essefy paused for a moment before looking at Rean. 'You can tell?'
Rean nodded. 'Yes. There are three formation cores. If we want to take this thing down, we will need to destroy all three. The other two are being concealed, and this one was left in the open. It is definitely a real core, but also a trap, trying to pull our attention away from the other two cores.'Suddenly, a Devil appeared under Rean, thrusting a dark and yellow spear at him. The Devil used the Dark Element Environment to conceal himself, waiting for the right opportunity to strike. At the same time, other devils appeared everywhere, all of them plunging at Rean and his group. There were at least two hundred of them.
Rean glanced at the attack coming from below and didn't even more. Even though the formation and the environment made Divine Sense and Natural Spatial Perception useless, Dark Element could be said to be Rean's second nature due to Roan.
His White Star was already in his hand. The moment the Devil appeared, Rean also launched his attack.
'Death Style, Stelar Piercer!'
*Clang!*
*Crash!*
*Pukt!*
Rean's Stelar piecer broke through the Devil's Spear, his Devilish Energy Barrier, and passed through his organs as if they didn't even exist! In a second, an Elemental Space Realm Middle Stage Devil had already fallen!
Rean and Roan could fight on equal terms against Space-Time Middle-Stage enemies, let alone a Devil an entire level below.
Rean didn't stop there and immediately moved away.
*Boom, boom, boom...*
Just like everyone, several attacks exploded where he had just been a moment ago. That was quite surprising in Rean's case, as most of the attacks came in his direction.
One couldn't blame the Devils. They saw how a Middle Stage Elemental Space Realm Devil was killed in a single move, so Rean was immediately considered the most dangerous element in that formation.
*Bang!*
*Arrrrgh!*
Yet, the devils barely had time to see where Rean moved to when another Devil was smashed to pieces! Kentucky had also moved, changing back to his Demon Beast form. Yet, he didn't assume the Minokawa appearance. Instead, he used Rean's Body Transformation Technique to change all his scales and feather to pure white!
Kentucky quickly flew around, and several of his blade feathers shot everywhere. Most of the devils in these attacks were in the Transition Realm and Void Tempering Realm, so each of those blade feathers was pretty much a death sentence.
In the end, three Elemental Space Realm Devils, all in the Peak Stage, charged at Kentucky to try to stop him. Yet, even in this environment that powered the Devils to fight above their level, those three Devils could only fight Kentucky to a standstill.
The rest of the group was fighting their own battles, but they all looked at Rean and Kentucky. None of them expected those two to be that strong. Thanks to that, two members of their group quickly separated themselves from the pack, charging in two different directions. 'Good job, Goku, Kenny! And thanks for informing us where the other two cores are located. We were confident that we would eventually take the devils down, but not this fast. Try to hold the rest of them for a little more.'
Rean smiled, using his Shadow Air movement technique and sword skills to kill Devils right and left. He wasn't as efficient as Kentucky, but he wasn't that far behind.
Essefy looked at those two cultivators charging away and couldn't help but ask Rean. 'Is it okay to tell them? They might gain more points in the end.'
Rean shook his head. 'It is fine. In the future, if they find information about the Essence Race, they will remember me and contact me through the communication badge. Besides, we will get points anyway.'
The battle continued for another half an hour until...
*Boom!*
The last formation core was destroyed, causing the protection barrier that covered several thousands of kilometers to suddenly disappear. Rean's group had succeeded in taking the formation down!
