Death… And Me

Chapter 779 - As I Thought

Author's note: Golden Ticket will be implemented on the next 18th of this month. To welcome it, I'll be changing the current 13 chapters per week release rate to 21 chapters. Starting today, I will be posting 3 chapters a day. Depending on how I fare in the new Golden Ticket system, I will keep the 21 chapters per week rate or probably increase it even more. If you don't know what it's about, check the author's thoughts at the end of the chapter. You can also find it on the events page.

As mentioned before, you shouldn't be able to feel the Spiritual Sense of someone with cultivation much higher than yours. Of course, there were treasures and other methods that were capable of achieving such a thing. However, Phex and Darian could tell that Rean and Roan didn't have anything like that in their bodies.

Rean shrugged his shoulders before explaining, "This is an advantage only someone born with Light Element Affinity would have. Spiritual Sense has Life Force, so when it touches me, I can feel it. The stronger it is, the more clear it becomes. Senior Phex and those other Stage Nine Demon Beasts' Spiritual Sense look like enormous suns in front of my eyes." Sure enough, Rean didn't really explain how it worked. However, it wasn't completely a lie either since it was an advantage of his Light Element.

"Light Element Affinity...you did say something like that before," Phex said as he slowly nodded. "I've never seen anyone with Light Element Affinity other than you, so I can't tell if it's true or not. In any case, it's still a fact that you can feel our Spiritual Senses, so I'll leave it at that."

Suddenly, five demon beasts in human form entered Darian's room. Rean and Roan recognized one of them. It was none other than Xaon, the Basilisk. As for the others, they had no idea who they were. The only thing they knew was that they weren't Divine Demon Beasts, or so Kentucky told them through Spiritual Sense. 'Normal Stage Nine Demon Beasts. Well, considering the number of normal demon beasts available, it makes sense,' Rean thought for a moment.

However, they quickly noticed that Xaon and the other demon beasts seemed to be in a haggard state, as if they had gone through quite a difficult battle. Phex and Darian, of course, noticed it as well. "What happened?"

Xaon sighed as he explained, "We received your message from the Thoughts Transmission Talisman. However, Fikin and a few other Zasfins were waiting for us along the way, so we had to fight. It was only when the power from the Bestial Sacred Ground was restored that we obtained a slight advantage. Well, Fikin and the others immediately retreated after that."

Phex didn't find it surprising. "No wonder you took this long to arrive. With your cultivation levels, you were supposed to be here way earlier. It seems like the Zasfins had put in a lot of effort into destroying the Spiritual Energy Fields."

As Phex said, Darian asked something else. "Did Frin stay behind with Gulan?" Frin was the Silver Fenrir, one of the four Stage Nine Divine Demon Beasts in the world.

"Yes." Xaon nodded as he replied, "He controlled the Spiritual Energy Field formation and used Gulan's blood to restore it. The Spiritual Energy Field there is a lot safer than Darian's palace, so I don't think anyone will try to attack him. Even more so since Fikin himself came out to stop us."

Xaon then looked at Rean, Roan, and Kentucky before turning to look at Phex and Darian. Everyone seemed to be in pretty bad shape. "So, what happened here? Is everything okay?"

Darian used a Spiritual Sense Message to explain everything that happened in their absence.

Xaon was obviously surprised by that. "What?! A Golden Drohare? So, now we have seven Divine Demon Beasts on the planet, huh? It makes one wonder if even more of them will appear now." Xaon then looked at the twins before asking, "Are you really leaving the Golden Drohare with them?"

Phex nodded, replying, "We already discussed this." Unwilling to think about how Rean threw the twins' achievements at his face any longer, Phex changed the topic. "What matters now is why the Spiritual Energy Fields had turned out like this. They had been working for a very, very long time. Why did they get damaged?"

Darian sighed in response, saying, "It's most likely because of that, right?"

Rean and Roan looked at each other before asking, "Are you talking about the Bestial Blood Pond?"

Xaon immediately looked at the twins. "How do you know that?"

"It was the Golden Drohare who told us about it." Rean then explained what Red told them.

As soon as he finished, Darian exclaimed, "What?! The Golden Drohare was in the Bestial Blood Pond? That's impossible!"

"Impossible? Why?" Naturally, the twins and Kentucky didn't know much about it.

Xaon and Phex then looked at Darian, waiting to see if he wanted to say anything else. After all, they considered Darian as their senior, the oldest out of all the demon beasts in the world. Seeing everyone's eyes fixated on him, Darian decided to speak. "Well, since you already know about the Bestial Blood Pond in the Sacred Ground, I guess there's no harm in telling you a little about it."

Darian continued, "The reason why I said it's impossible is that no one should be able to enter the Bestial Sacred Ground. Even for me, Phex, and the others, entering that place is extremely difficult due to the protection field there. The Golden Drohare is just a Stage Six Demon Beast, and it was definitely even weaker when it saw us back then. I can't see how it could have appeared there. He must be lying when he says he saw us at the pond."

Phex and Xaon nodded in agreement. They, too, found it hard to accept as they knew how complicated it is. "This is one more reason for you to be careful about the Golden Drohare."

Roan narrowed his eyes for a moment. As mentioned before, Roan was very good at detecting lies. Besides, demon beasts were even worse at using them. He was pretty sure that Red wasn't lying when he said that he was in the Bestial Sacred Ground. It was then that an idea popped into his mind. Soon after, he connected his mind into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. 'Red, do you know how you got into the Beastial Sacred Ground?'

Red was already awake at this point. It's just that he was too weak to do anything. Sure enough, Rean and Roan had paid 10000 Destiny Point to buy Red's entrance in their Dimensional Realm. For them, it was an investment since the mission reward was 30000 points. "I don't know...when I woke up, I was already there."

Roan wasn't surprised after hearing that. 'As I thought.'
