Death… And Me

Chapter 2995: Assailant



Divine Stones, that would be a very good start. Above all, the twins would be able to use them even though they aren't in the Void Tempering Realm yet. Their souls, and especially the Yin Yang Starlight Bodies, would be strong enough to resist the energy even though their bodies were made in the Mortal World and hadn't gone through the Divine Energy baptism yet.

'Sister Orb, you also had your senses spread around, didn't you? It couldn't cove the entire Sunlight Realm like this spirit, but these stones should be here in the palace anyway. Have you seen it?'

[No... however, there are many places where my senses can't penetrate. I didn't even know there was a hidden chamber inside the treasure room where I was located.]

The twins considered the idea and decided to check if the spirit was telling the truth. 'We might as well give it a try.'

"Alright, we need to be fast. Where can we find these Divine Stones?" Roan asked.

'How can I trust you will keep your word?' The Divine Werdlem Stone Spirit still had its doubts.

"Hmph!" Roan turned around and resumed his walk out of the room. Rean obviously did the same. They didn't need to prove anything. If the spirit didn't believe them, that was not the twins' problem.

'Wait, wait, wait!' Sure enough, the spirit quickly called them back. 'I will take your word for it! Don't leave me!'

Roan extended his hand, and his Spiritual Energy came out, grabbing the Divine Werdlem Stone from afar. It landed on his hand a second later. "Speak, where to?"

'This is not the only treasure room in this palace. You will need to go to the south to find the next one. That's where all the Divine Stones are kept. Or, at the very least, that's the only place where I can feel a cultivation energy of higher level than Spiritual Energy. I have never used Divine Energy, even though I'm a Divine Werldem Stone,' the spirit explained.

The twins narrowed their eyes. South was exactly the direction that Golden Crow had flown a while ago. They truly didn't like the idea of going after it. However, Divine Stones would be too good to let go.

The twins exited the hut again and found out the outside world had changed. The higher concentration of Sunlight Energy began to give birth to more Sunlight Beasts. Right now, the Transition Realm experts who entered the tower were fighting some of those beasts. As one can expect, they didn't find any Divine Werdlem Stone in there.

'I'll send you into my Dimensional Realm. Don't fight the Spatial Pull, ' Roan commented. He didn't want to carry the stone around. As long as it was inside the System's Dimensional Realm, no one would find it.

*Vup!*

The Stone appeared inside the Dimensional Realm, where only Sister Orb, now inside the Control Orb, existed. She used her control over that small Dimensional Realm to make it impossible for the stone spirit to see her. That way, she could talk to it without revealing her real form. [Oh! So you are the Divine Werdlem Stone Spirit. I was watching the conversation between my friends outside and you. How can I address you? Do you have a name?]

The Stone Spirit was taken aback and looked around, but it couldn't see anything. 'I... I don't really have a name. I never had a need for one.'

[Hum... how about Tony? Get it? Get it? Stone, Tony... It's nice, and it fits, right?] It was easy to see how bored Sister Orb had been so far.

The spirit didn't know what to say. Yet, before it could answer, Rean contacted it inside the Dimensional Realm. 'Alright, Tony, what are we looking for in the south side?'

Seems like the spirit's name was Tony now, much to his displeasure... 'Errr... do I have to be called Tony?'

'Just answer the fucking question,' Roan urged while the twins made their way through the Sunlight Beasts and Transition Realm experts. Sunlight Energy continued to accumulate, so they wanted to leave this place as fast as possible.

The spirit could only accept the name and focus on the task ahead. 'Once you leave the central area through the south gate, you will see a path of red tiles. It continues for several tens of kilometers. At the very end of this path, you will find another tower similar to the previous one. It's just that it is a lot smaller. The entrance to the treasure room where the Divine Stones... or whatever is being kept there... are being held is on the white residence straight to the left once you get there.'

'Seems like these towers are nothing more than baits to take one's attention away from the real important places,' Rean commented.

The twins passed through the south gate and saw several other Transition Realm experts fighting in the sky and the ground. There were even more Elemental Transformation Realm cultivators. Let's not forget they had also entered the palace with everyone else. However, they didn't enter the area of the previous tower due to the place having too much Sunlight Energy. They had been outside all this while.

It turned out to be a good thing for the twins. The Sunlight Beasts that were born everywhere focused their efforts on all these cultivators from various races. That didn't mean the experts were on the back foot, though. The Sunlight Beasts were just born, so they were pretty weak compared to Sunlight Beasts that existed for a very long time.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The real strong ones were being dealt with by the Transition Realm experts. Seeing those, the twins were pretty sure they were some of the Sunlight Beasts that had left the palace previously when the front gate was opened with the Flower Frames.

Suddenly, Rean's Spiritual Sense noticed someone. Diliy, his new master, was fighting against one of those Sunlight Beasts. He held the advantage, and it wouldn't be long before Diliy destroyed that Sunlight Beast. However, that was not what caught Rean's attention. Instead, it was the guy who was approaching Diliy while concealing his presence.

'Master, behind you!' Rean couldn't let that happen, so he used his Spiritual Sense to warn Diliy.

Diliy was taken aback and immediately turned around. He only had the time to see the space in front of him contort and raise his sword before a flash of pink energy appeared.

*Clang!*

Diliy defended in the last moment. As for the assailant, it was Kruwan, the other Sword Cultivator from the Trogram Sect.
