Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 1149 - Defend!

"Sorry, I wasn't my opponent's match in the last fight and ended up losing," Regio apologized.

Rean didn't seem to mind it as he told the Sacred Land people that they didn't need to heal Regio. He could do it much better and more thoroughly. "It's fine, it's fine. They have a better background, resources, cultivation techniques, and other things. It makes sense that you were weaker than them. Look at Samanta. She looks like she was almost trashed to the ground."

Samanta's mouth twitched after hearing that. "Are you looking for a fight? My opponent was extremely strong as well, you know. Be grateful that I could at least hold him until you delivered the flag. I know my limits, okay?"

Rean laughed in response. "Hahaha! Don't worry, don't worry. I'm just joking."

Rean then looked at Milina, telling her, "Your race is truly something. The fat you and you at this moment are two completely different people."

Milina had heard that quite a few times in her life. "Hehe! I told you I was different. However, this last battle truly used up a lot of the Divine Energy in my body. I believe I won't be able to perform at the same level when we face Holang and Klacks Country.

Rean then smiled in response as he said, "Well, there's good news. Holang and Klacks... had just fought each other. Look!" Rean then pointed at the scoring board, showing that Klacks Country got the victory and was now at 12 points, just like Rean's group. "It was good that they got each other before we had to fight any of them."

That truly improved the mood in their group. "That's true. Who's our next opponent?"

"It's the other Parvin Country group," Regio replied.

Rean nodded in response. "Parvin was quite difficult to deal with. Fortunately, you have my healing skill, so you just need to recover your dantian's Divine Energy reserves. Make sure you're ready for the fifth match."

"Yes!"

The matches continued without many changes at the top of the scoring board. Other than a few black horses, the top countries would only lose a match when they fought other countries of the same level. In any case, the top 60 on the scoring board was finally beginning to take form. Rean's group was obviously there with their 12 points.

The fifth round started, and Liana's group from Tenke Country got another victory. The same went for Venali, Gari, Fulia, and all the other members of top countries in other fighting groups. It was basically what everyone expected.

Rean's group's fifth round wasn't any different, though. Parvin's strongest group was the previous one. The next group was strong as well, but definitely not at the level of Jixe's. They ended up winning that match without losing any members this time.

The sixth round wasn't any different. Yugves just so happened to be a country at the same level as Kamos, so they weren't anything impressive. In fact, three of their members were from different countries as well. It's just that they joined forces for this test. Naturally, Rean's group easily took them out.

Once the queue rotated once more, they finally arrived at the seventh round, and Rean's group would have to encounter Holang Country. That was the first top country they had to fight in this competition directly.

*Vup, vup, vup...*

Both sides passed through the spatial doors, appearing on the new field. Well, in fact, they fell into the water straight away. That's because the new environment was a huge ocean. There wasn't anything else other than water and more water out there.

"This is quite complicated. Do we have anyone here good at Water Element?" Samanta asked.

Rean then looked at Roan before asking, "How has your Water Element training going so far?"

Roan nodded and told him, "I haven't reached the same level as my Dark Element, but it's usable." One must remember that back in the alchemist competition, Roan already had started to train in manipulating the Water Element. After all, he was the epitome of Yin Energy, which was perfect for this. The reason he hadn't used it far simply was that it wasn't as useful as his own Dark Element skills.

Suddenly, Water Element gathered around Roan and his team members before everyone started to rise to the top of the water. Roan could concentrate the water under everyone's feet so much that they could use it as a platform. Follow current s on ɴovel(F)ɪre

Roan then looked in the distance and could see the members of the Holang Country there. "There are only three people there at the moment. It seems like two of them drowned, or they're also Water Element users. Obviously, it should be the second one since their teammates don't seem concerned with their friends' disappearance."

"What should we do?" Milina felt quite helpless in that environment with her Earth Element Affinity.

Roan coldly smiled as he pointed forward. "I told you before, didn't I? I will defend while all of you attack." Suddenly, the water began to take the form of a tube around Rean's group, except for Roan. "Have a good journey."

'Water Cannon!'

*Bang, bang, bang, bang!*

Yes, Roan simply launched everyone from his group directly into the Holand Country's flag defense. Along the way through the air, Rean couldn't help but sigh, muttering, "He totally enjoyed it."

However, it was too late to head back, so Rean began to use his Divine Sense. 'Samanta, help control our descent. This free fall is not like that one we had in the first battle. Everyone's weight will affect our resistance against the air.'

Samanta was already preparing for that anyway, even though she hated how she was put in this situation. 'Fuck this shit! I swear I'll give that guy a beating one day!'

She then took her fan out and poured her Divine Energy inside.

'Rising Gale!'

A powerful wind then came from below everyone, hitting each member of her group with different levels of force. That allowed them to descend simultaneously in the direction of the enemy's team.

Of course, Holang Country wouldn't stay still while Rean's group came directly at them.

'Kill them!'

'Fire Dragon!'

'Myriad Corrosion Spikes!'

'Sword Formation!'

Several attacks came from below, trying to hit Rean's group. As they were falling, moving around was difficult, so they could only defend themselves.

Immediately, Light Element gathered around Rean before spreading around.

'Life Style, Fifth Form, Light Aura Burst!'

Everyone felt the Light Element entering their bodies, increasing their strength. It had been some time since Rean used that area of effect enhancement ability.

'Defend!'
