Death... and me

chapter-557
Agis then asked outside.
"What do you want to use Frandin for? Wouldn't it be easier to simply get rid of him already?"
Rean shook his head as he replied.
"No. We can use Frandin to enter a few cities if we need Spirit Stones, food, and other things."
"Wouldn't he use that chance to tell about us and escape?"Roan snorted after hearing that.
"He can only dream about it. There are many ways to prevent that from happening. The easiest method is to use one of my poison pills to bind him. Unless he wants to die, he will have to come back to us. Anyway, I'm not worried about him saying anything he shouldn't at all."
Calina sighed before asking.
"In that case, how should we proceed?"
Rean and Roan then looked at everyone.
"That depends on you guys. Truth be told, you're in this situation because of us. If you want to go out and move by yourselves, we won't stop you. However, as I mentioned to Agis, we won't be able to save you either if you aren't close to us. Whatever your decision may be, we will respect it."
Malaka immediately hugged Rean before saying."I've known you two longer than anyone else. I'm sure that you would never do such a thing on purpose. Even the ice block isn't that cold. I'll stay with you."
Rean smiled as he patted Malaka's head. As for Roan, he could not help but think...
'Was that a compliment or an insult...?'
He didn't know.
Calina and Qia also decided to stick around. Qia now knew that Calina was part of the Sasamil Imperial Family, so she was a bit more attached to her.
Agis frowned after hearing that. The problem was that he really didn't have many choices to start with. Of course, he did blame Rean and Roan for what happened. That didn't change. However, it was also true that he was supposed to be dead right now if Rean hadn't brought him along. Between dying with his world and escaping, he would obviously opt for the latter.
"Fine! I'll stay around as long as it's beneficial for me."
Rean and Roan nodded in response. After that, Roan told them his plan.
"We could have Rean fly with Kentucky while keeping his Light and Spiritual Sense bending skill active. That way, although we don't know how long it would take, our travel wouldn't be too dangerous. However, I don't think this is the best method. Whatever happens, we will have better chances if we are stronger. That being said, instead of avoiding dangers like this, we should travel by foot."
Rean agreed with Roan.
"That way, we could learn more about this world during our travel. What kind of Demon Beasts are there? What's the environment? How hard is it to cultivate? And so on."
Everyone nodded after hearing. They didn't want to be locked inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm forever, either.
Qia then offered.
"Let's form two different groups and travel in two different directions. From what you told me, the soul connection between you two can be kept as far as 3000 kilometers, right? A smaller group will be easier to move and operate. If anything goes wrong, we can have Rean or Roan bring the others into the Dimensional Realm. After that, we just need to use the other twin as an exit location."
Roan had to admit that this was a good idea.
"Very well. It will also help in our training if we have a smaller number of people when fighting. Alright, let's form two groups."
Malaka immediately raised her hand.
"I go with Rean!"
*Pah!*
Unfortunately, Roan immediately slapped the back of her head when he heard that. Soon after, Roan pushed the happy-go-lucky girl to his side.
"You want to go with him so that you can slack in your training? Keep dreaming! You will come with me whether you like it or not. We're now in a completely different environment, so expect your training to be several times harder from now on."
"Noooo!"
Rean couldn't help but put his palms together as he prayed for Malaka's Soul.
"May we meet again in the next life."
"I'm not dead yet!"
Roan ignored those two and looked at Agis. To be honest, Roan was really impressed with Agis's development since he hadn't helped him with his training at all. Sure, Agis was a Red Color talent, but just talent without effort wouldn't bring him anywhere. His Middle Stage of the Core Formation Realm cultivation was definite proof of his hard work. It seemed like the day he was saved by Rean and Roan deeply affected his disposition.
"Agis, it would be better if you stayed with Rean. I'll give you a training schedule for you to follow. Also, take it."
Roan then threw a full copy of the Death Style Manual. Agis narrowed his eyes, though.
"I already have my Master's training orders, and he passed me his skills as well."
Roan nodded.
"I know. However, this place is completely different from our previous world. There's a need to review everything. Don't worry. If you don't like what I came up with, you can simply ignore it and pretend you didn't see it at all. Of course, I will use your help to create it since you know yourself better than anyone else. Just make sure you take a look at my Death Style Manual. It should be of great help to you."
Agis wasn't really thrilled to receive more help from them. However, he wasn't an idiot either. As long as it was beneficial, he wouldn't refuse it. That being said, he simply nodded and began to read the Manual. As for the training schedule, the two of them could discuss it later.
With that, there was only Calina and Qia remaining. Well, it was very obvious what each of them wanted. Calina definitely preferred to stay with Roan while Qia wanted to be close to Rean, however...
"We don't have time to play the romance bullshit. Qia will come with Malaka and me. As for Calina, you will follow Rean."
Sure enough, Roan was merciless.
