Death… And Me

Chapter 1071 - That's Correct

In the village, Rean talked with Aien one last time. "Don't forget our deal, okay? I'll be back at some point. Or perhaps, I'll send someone to get the Earth's Remnants you gather."

"Sure thing," Aien said in response.

After that, the Golden Rascol then took flight once again before heading towards the Erqs Forest once more. There was still a month's worth of journey.

The few cities they stopped by were for them to only buy things they needed. Rean and Roan also used different appearances, making Langara and Fatax wait outside every time with Rascal. It was hard to imagine someone made their way there faster than them, but there was no harm in being careful.

Eventually, they left the last city, called Tares, which was the closest one to Erqs Forest. "We're almost there. Two more days, and we'll be inside the territory where the fairies live."

The fairies couldn't be seen unless one met the necessary conditions like sufficient cultivation or the possession of detecting treasures. With that being said, it made perfect sense for them to live in the middle of the demon beasts' territory without caring about being attacked.

Roan then looked at Langara before asking, "Do you think there's any chance of someone from your clan waiting for us?"

Langara shook her head in response. "No one knew where I was going. All they knew was the direction due to the tracking seal in my soul. However, you removed it quite early, so I doubt anyone can find us. Besides..." Langara looked at Rean's concealment skill that was always active. "Let alone the fact that the place is too big. With this skill activated, I doubt they would even notice us passing by."

Rean was happy to hear that. "Good thing it's helping out."

Their group continued the travel for a few more hours without any issues when suddenly...

*Bzzzzz!*

"Aaaaarrrgghh!!!" Langara put her hands on her head as she screamed in pain.

"What?!" Rean, Roan, and Fatax were taken aback. "Are you alright?"

However, Langara's pain was so great that she couldn't even talk. With that said, Rean could only look at Fatax. "What's happening?"

Fatax was in a dilemma about whether he should talk about the ancestor's issues or not. However, that body was his sister's. Not to mention that her soul was still there. Eventually, Fatax gritted his teeth before explaining, "The connection between the Matriarch's soul and my sister's body is too weak. She's being rejected by my sister even though my sister doesn't want it to happen."

Roan found it weird. However, he decided to leave his questions for later. "Rean, try and see if you can alleviate the issue."

Rean nodded and immediately touched Langara's shoulder as a burst of Light Element entered her body. Rean focused on the head, where the soul could be found. However, this time he wasn't only able to see Langara's soul, but Eminia's slumbering soul as well. "This..."

There, he saw something that looked ridiculous. "Your sister's soul... is eating your matriarch's soul away!"

"What?!" Fatax was shocked to hear that. "That's impossible! My sister would never do that!"

Rean shook his head as he clarified, "Indeed, she isn't doing it on her own. I can tell that her soul is slumbering. However, she's doing it unconsciously."

Roan understood something at that point, muttering, "Now everything makes sense." He then looked at Rean, telling him, "Anyways, do something if you can."

"Oh, right!" Rean's Divine Soul Power and Light Element then formed a barrier between Langara and Eminia's soul. With that, Langara's soul finally began to recover as Eminia's soul slumbered once more. Rean knew where it was, though. He made sure the barrier would stay there in case the soul appeared again.

Langara then fell asleep during the flight, and it wouldn't be until a few hours later that she finally opened her eyes. "Wh-what happened?" She obviously still felt a huge headache as she held her head with her hand, but it was at least tolerable now.

Fatax, of course, immediately told her what had happened to her. Following that, Langara checked her soul and noticed that the Light Element and Divine Soul Power barrier that separated her from the invisible host. "Such a peerless Soul Power Barrier. It has the help of Divine Energy as well. The synchronization between the two energies is so unbelievable that I can't even tell which one is which."

Langara then looked at Rean with obvious surprise written all over her face. "This isn't about the control of Soul Power and Divine Energy or Elements whatsoever. The matters of the soul are extremely delicate. How can you be so good at it despite being so young? As far as I know, not even the Royal Family would have such capacity to do this."

Rean shrugged his shoulders after hearing that. "That's what you think. But how well do you know the Royal Family?" Obviously, he wouldn't tell that it was because of the Soul Gem System. The natural fusion of Divine Energy and Soul Power from the upgrade made things much easier. Besides, Rean and Roan had been tinkering with the matters of the soul for a long time already.

Langara didn't know whether Rean was telling the truth or not, but that didn't matter. The fact was that he truly saved her from a predicament. "Thank you. If you hadn't intervened, I don't know what could have happened."

Rean nodded with a smile, but it was Roan who talked after that. "Now I understand why every time you jump from one body to another, the previous owner would obtain a boost in their talents. That's because each one of them is consuming your soul before you have to leave. That also explains why the Clan Head of your Talan Clan wants you so much."

Roan continued, "Most likely, he noticed that you were close to reaching your limit. That it won't be long before you lose all your strength and your soul is fully consumed. He wants to make sure you will at least help improve the members of the clan before that happens. Or perhaps, he wants to use some other method to make sure you don't disappear."

Langara didn't even bother to pretend after that, saying succinctly, "That's correct."
