Death… And Me

Chapter 1398: The Oasis

It didn't take long for the Divine Stone to shatter due to the lack of Divine Energy inside. It was a breakthrough, after all, so it's normal for a lot of Divine Energy to be used. Seeing that she was finished, Rean smiled and said, "Congratulations. Now then, let's go."

With that, Kentucky immediately flew to the city. Unlike the outside, this city in the middle of the desert didn't have walls. It was really the first city Rean's group saw without some protection formation covering it or something of the like. In fact, Kentucky even saw some desert demon beasts attack one side of the city. Then again, it didn't seem like anyone other than those being attacked cared about it.

Kentucky's size obviously caught a lot of attention. Stage Eight Demon Beasts were several meters high, after all. Yet, even after flying over the city for a while, no one tried to stop them. Well, they probably thought that Rean's group was related to the Beast Tamer Guild, so it wasn't that unusual.

Eventually, Falangia saw the thing the twins were looking for. "There it is. That's the Formation Guild, and also the place where you can pay to use the teleport formations."

Rean and Roan nodded and immediately landed on an open space. The people in the street quickly opened up a clearing, not daring to get close to that group. However, what truly impressed everyone was how that enormous demon bird suddenly disappeared in thin air.

"What?!" Falangia was also shocked, of course. "Where is he?"

Rean and Roan didn't really need to hide that capability anymore. They could simply say that they had spatial rings capable of holding life. At their cultivation level, they didn't have much to fear anymore, at least not in a place like this one. No one would find out about the Soul Gem System because of such a thing, either.

Rean then used his Divine Soul Power to cover Falangia before he and Roan shot forward. They were too fast for the people around to follow with their eyes, so the twins simply disappeared as fast as they appeared. Only when they arrived in an empty corner did the two stop.

Poor Falangia was feeling all dizzy at this point. In the end, the twins' speed was too much for her body to resist. "Wh-what happened?"

Rean then touched her body and immediately sent a wave of Light Element into her body. Not only did her dizziness disappear in a flash, she had never felt so good before. Rean controlled himself this time, though, so the girl didn't moan, at least.

"How do you feel?" Rean asked with a smile.

Falangia couldn't help but turn slightly red before nodding. "I'm... I'm fine."

"Let's go to the Formation Guild, then." Rean's group then joined the crowd on the street as no one paid attention to them. The place where they stopped was located by the side of an oasis, and the Formation Guild was also close to it, just a few kilometers away. "This explains why the city was built here."

Falangia nodded, explaining, "The city itself isn't that old. Oases aren't things that last very long. This one, for example, took form around 400 years ago. In fact, it's quite small compared to back then. At least that's what I heard. I don't know if I'm going to be here when it dries up, but some believe this one won't last more than a hundred years."

Roan couldn't help but ask, "Can't the cultivators simply gather Water Element and fill it up? With this many cultivators, it shouldn't be a hard task."

Falangia shook her head as she replied, "It doesn't work. The problem is the land itself. It will absorb any extra water thrown into it. It's like this everywhere in this country. Once the lake dries up, this city will probably fall, and another one will rise somewhere else when a new oasis appears."

"That's quite an interesting concept," Rean said as he walked. "Well, people here should already be used to it anyway."

"That's true." Falangia agreed with Rean.

Rean could also see that there was an island in the middle of the oasis with a building that looked like a palace. "Let me guess. That's where the actual city lord lives."

Falangia nodded in response. "Indeed. This City Lord has been in control for twenty years already. He rose into power a year before I was born. Considering how fierce the competition is, it's quite impressive he lasted this long. It's probably because of his cultivation. Some say he's in the Initial Stage of the Transition Realm, which no one City Lord had achieved before."

Sometime later, they arrived at the Formation Guild. "Here we are. You can inquire about the teleport formations inside."

Rean nodded before saying, "Well then, thanks for guiding us. We can move on our own from here. Also, there's no need to worry. I used a concealing technique on you, so no one was able to see your face when we arrived. No one will come after you later, thinking that you have something good to steal."

Falangia was obviously surprised to hear that. "Th-Thank you..."

"Well then, until we meet someday." The twins didn't waste too much time and bade farewell. The breakthrough into the Middle Stage of the Core Formation Realm should have been more than enough payment, after all.

The twins then entered the Formation Guild, leaving Falangia on her own. In the end, she couldn't help but murmur to herself, "Perhaps we can leave Treavin Continent one day. Now that I think about it, I haven't even asked their names..."

Unlike the cities in Lanqueas and Huring Continent, the cities in Treavin Continent were rather small. Dry Sky City, for example, didn't have more than four million people. One must remember that even a small city on the other continents would usually have more than two hundred million in them. The good thing was that since Falangia had lived here since she was born, she knew pretty much the entire city like it was her backyard. "Well, let's go home."
