Death... and me
chapter-73

Suddenly, the Spiritual Energy began to take form. The first Pillar Base grew in size and slowly approached the Shell of the Datian.

[Once the Pillar touches the Shell, gather as much Spiritual Energy as possible and sent it all at once to the Pillar. You need to make the Pillar breakthrough the Shell so it can reach out.]

Rean and Roan followed Sister Orb's instructions and waiting for when the first Pillar reached the Shell. From there, they gathered as much Spiritual Energy as possible and sent it all at once to the almost fully built Pillar.

With that surge of energy, their Pillar acted as if it was on steroids and broke through the Shell of the Datian. However... Sister Orb didn't warn them that when it destroyed the Shell, it was painful as hell! Well, it was not that she didn't inform them, but that she didn't know...

Rean and Roan grunted in pain to the point they almost fainted! Of course, they knew it was not the time to let their consciousness fly away, so they held it. The Pillar grew a little more until it was completely outside.

[Good, now only need to repeat this process another nine times. Easy, no? I'll be cheering for you!]

Rean and Roan.

#@$%@!%¨!#%¨@!!!!!

Of course, they only cursed all of that in their minds. If Sister Orb decided to somehow get on them during the breakthrough, they would definitely fail. Even though she is inside the Dimensional Realm and they are out, they didn't dare to risk it.

They concentrated once more and started to build the second Pillar. Once again, another broken shell, and another dispair. Then the third, fourth, fifth, all the way to the ninth!

[Good, now comes the Light and Dark Pillars. From this point, I will give you support to both Elements and Spiritual Energy control. However, don't expect it again in the future unless it is something related to a breakthrough. It uses too much energy of the Soul Gem.]

Rean and Roan nodded. They worked with Sister Orb and started to build the last Pillar. This one appeared in the center of the other nine, which gave the impression that the nine neutral ones existed only to support it. It was okay until this point. But when they saw the size of the last one, their mouths twitched. That Dark and Light Element Pillars were at least three times larger in width than the others.

They could already imagine how hellish the pain will be once this thing broke the Shell of the Dantian.

[Why the black faces? You should thank me that I can create a Pillar of such high quality. Others would be envious of you if they knew what you have.]

The twins wanted to say that they were okay with being ordinary. Unfortunately, the process already began, so it couldn't stop anymore. Soon, the Dark and White Pillars arrived at the Shell of the Dantian.

[Alright. I will help you gather even more Spiritual Energy now. Concentrate!]

Spiritual Energy quickly gathered, and Sister Orb used the 104th Meridian to give them even more. Finally, in one stroke, the Dantians were pierced through one last time, and the Light and Drak pillar came out. However, there was no grunt of pain this time. It was not that it didn't hurt, but that Rean and Roan passed out straight away after it.

[Sigh... In the end, I have to do all the work. Fortunately, I only need to mend the cracks. Since there is enough Spirit Stones, It won't take long.]

The next morning, Hamarlia found Rean and Roan on the ground. She was frightened by that view and quickly helped them. Still, they didn't wake up no matter how many times she called. Without another choice, she put them on their beds and rushed to Juri's House.

Juri quickly came to take a look and found the two kids with ashen faces. However, after checking their bodies' condition with his Spiritual Sense and Spiritual Energy, he couldn't find anything wrong with their health. He then proceeded to their Dantians, but what he saw almost made him jump in fright!

"What the hell?"

Hamarlia was taken aback by that reaction.

"Is something wrong with them? Are they badly hurt?"

Juri shook his head.

"No, their bodies are fine, it's just... Well, they are now in the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Hamarlia and Turen were taken aback. Foundation Establishment, their 8 almost 9 years old kids? Was that a joke? Obviously, there were shocked too.

However, Juri wasn't worried about it. Roan had commented that they would try to make the breakthrough soon, so they being in the Foundation Establishment Realm didn't disturb him. What bothered him was something completely different.

Juri pondered a bit and then told the twins' parents.

"They are fine. It is just that the breakthrough had drained a lot fo their energy. Just leave them in the bed for a few days, and they will wake sooner or later. Also, let me know when that happens, I have something to ask them."

Hamarlia and Turen let out a sigh of relief. If Juri is saying that they are fine, then it should be okay.

Juri gave one last look at the twins before leaving.

The days passed, and soon, five days went by. This morning, Rean was the first to wake up, with Roan following right behind a few minutes later. But as soon as they tried to move, their entire bodies contorted in pain.

Hamarlia heard their grunts and rushed inside their room in a flash.

"You are awake, finally!"

Tears filled her eyes as she jumped to hug them. However, Rean and Roan were frightened when they saw it.

"Stop!"

Too late, she didn't care about their shouts.

"Ahhhhh!"

The pain they felt through that hug was even worse than the nine neutral pillars. They just couldn't tell if it was worse than the Light and Dark ones because they instantly fainted.

"Ah! Sorry!"

She quickly let them go while looking at them, still crying.

Well, now even Rean and Roan were crying too, but for a completely different reason...
