Death... and me
chapter-772

Red's body began to spark with red lightning arcs. Those arcs then created a protective layer around him that would attack anything it touched. Soon after, Red looked in the direction the Spiritual Energy Field's core was located before darting forward. 'So what if I can't see you? You can't stop my charge either. As long as the core's there, I'll hit it. Let me see exactly how you'll prevent me from doing that.' Red thought that with his Divine Demon Beast Bloodline and Stage Six cultivation, it would be more than enough to break through any defense.

Rean and Roan noticed what Red was doing. However, contrary to Red's expectations, they really did try to block his attack. They completely ignored any difference in cultivation.

'Death Style, Second Defensive Form, Cyclic Reversive Arc!'

An improvement of the first form, which only created strands of Light and Dark elements to stop an attack. Just like the first form, the Dark Element destroyed the power behind the attack while the Light Element reinforced the Dark Element, preventing the Dark Element from disappearing. However, the second form was even better. Instead of static strands, they revolved around the twins. That way, the dark strand wouldn't need to resist the attack in a single point. Not only that, due to the cyclical movement, several dark and light strands were able to gather together to stop the assault.

*Bzzzzz!*

Red's body soon hit the strands, which immediately gathered in front of his horn, destroying the power of lightning surrounding him. Red's attack couldn't advance more than a few meters before being completely nullified.

"What?!"

Red felt a chill on his back when that happened. That's because his body was completely exposed now that his protective lightning disappeared, and he didn't even know why that happened. He quickly turned around and dashed out of the Dark World.

Surprisingly, Rean and Roan didn't try to attack him on his way out. Instead, they just watched as he left, much to Red's surprise. Of course, Red quickly recovered as he looked at Roan's Death World from a distance, asking, "What the hell are you? Why didn't you attack me now?"

The answer to that was quite simple. Rean and Roan couldn't attack Red at all! Red wasn't able to see it due to the Death World and the blockage of Spiritual Sense. However, the fact still stood that Red was still a Middle Stage Six Divine Demon Beast while the twins were only in the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. If it was an average Demon Beast's attack, it wouldn't have been too hard. Unfortunately, Red's attack was several times above what an average Middle Stage Six Demon Beast could unleash. The twins suffered quite the backlash to stop him.

Of course, as soon as Red retreated from Roan's Death World, Rean acted.

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!'

Visible to the naked eye, Rean and Roan's injuries began to quickly disappear. It didn't take more than a few seconds for the twins to be fully recovered. Well, there was also the fact that Red didn't continue to attack, so Rean had the time to do it.

With that, Rean took the opportunity to answer Red's question, saying, "Who we are is not important. As for why we didn't attack you, that's because we think there's something more behind your actions. A demon beast would never side with the Zasfins of its own volition. At the very least, that's what we believe."

Red couldn't help but laugh after hearing that, responding, "Hahaha! A demon beast would never side with the Zasfins? Why do you think so? Unfortunately for you two, there's one demon beast here who did it of his own volition."

Rean and Roan were taken aback after hearing that. A Divine Demon Beast helped the Zasfins because it wanted to? "That doesn't make sense. It's impossible that you don't know the Zasfins tried to take control over the entire world in the past. That means getting rid of the demon beasts as well. Or, at the very least, putting them under their control."

Red nodded, saying, "Exactly! Too bad they failed. However, there's no need to worry. This time, they'll succeed."

Red then stopped talking as his body burst with Spiritual Energy and Lightning Element. Suddenly, two wings made out of red lightning appeared on his back as his horn turned golden. However, while the lightning around Red's body and wings was red, it had a different color when it reached the end of his horn. It was possible to see the red color change to gold by the time it arrived there.

It was at that moment that Sister Orb's voice echoed in the twins' minds. [Ah! So that's his race! I have to admit, this planet does really have a thing for Divine Demon Beasts.] Through Sister Orb's surprising words, the twins confirmed that Red really was a Divine Demon Beast.

Until now, Rean and Roan were considering the possibility that Red had used some other method to enter the Spiritual Energy Field's Dimensional Realm where the core was located. However, Sister Orb had confirmed that he really was a Divine Demon Beast. 'So, Sister Orb, what kind of demon beast is he?'

[First of all, calling him a rabbit is wrong. He leans more towards the hares. I should have noticed it when his size changed. His legs are a lot longer, after all.] Sister Orb explained. [Anyway, he's from the Golden Drohare race. It's just that he's way too young, so his body hadn't turned fully golden yet. However, the dragon-like scales, golden horn, and golden lightning are unmistakable. The only rabbit or hare related to those traits would be the Golden Drohare Race. It's a bona fide Divine Demon Beast. Be careful. This race's control over the Lightning Element is formidable. They can rival even Kirins when it comes to it. Now that his lightning had turned golden, he will show even more power.]

Rean and Roan bitterly smiled after hearing that. It was already hard to hold off Red while he was wielding red lightning. Just how would they hold him now that his power increased even more? However, a thought popped into Rean's mind as he said, 'Oh! I think I have an idea.'
