Death… And Me-Novel

Naturally, the twins' interests were piqued. "Oh-ho... well then. We're listening." New chapters are publɪshed on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

Libraia shook her head after hearing that, though. "Not here. You'll have to ask in the Yume Clan to get your answer. However, you definitely won't get anything if you're not part of it."

Rean found it strange, though. "Why would you want us to join if we're going to leave once we get the information?"

Libraia smiled after hearing that, telling them, "You will understand if you decide to join us. Besides, isn't that female demon beast called Erla also joining us? Since you're friends, it wouldn't be a bad idea for you."

Roan immediately asked, "Are there any commitments to be made? If you need us to be stuck there for some reason, we might as well try to get what we need somewhere else."

Libraia shook her head, replying, "What commitments could be there? Do you think I didn't notice? Rean signed a Soul Binding Contract but was not affected by it at all. Since that's the case, how can we force you to do anything?"

Rean was taken aback to hear that. "You were watching?! No, wait! You don't seem that impressed that we could do that while we're still in the Transition Realm."

Libraia shrugged her shoulders in response. "Well, getting rid of the seal without being in the Void Tempering Realm might be unthinkable in other continents. However, in Jhiod Sect, such methods do exist. It's just that they're usually quite expensive. Anyway, you aren't the only ones with this capability. Besides, you're already close to the Void Tempering Realm, and only an idiot would doubt you can get there. Even if a Soul Binding Contract worked on you, it would only be temporary."

Rean and Roan nodded after hearing that. "So that's how it is..."

Libraia then continued, "Anyway, I'm asking you to join our Yume Clan in the sect because I do think both you and us have a lot to gain from this. Remember, with my strength, I could simply capture you if I wanted. Once you're in Jhiod Sect, I could ask anyone from my clan to take you two. No one would complain about two new disciples disappearing if my Yume Clan was the culprit. However, I'm not doing anything like that. Even if you refuse, I won't force you either. It has to come from you."

Roan pondered over it for a bit and nodded. "Very well. As we mentioned, we won't be staying for long unless necessary. If you truly don't care about it, then we might as well enter your clan. I'm quite curious about why you don't mind the fact we'll leave later."

Libraia was obviously happy to hear that. "Great! Also, it's not like we won't see each other anymore. My duty to the Recruitment Building is due to be over in two months, so I'll be returning to the sect after that. We'll see each other again, so you can count on me later." Soon after, she brought out her sword.

Seeing that, Rean smiled and asked, "You still want to spend your last day trying to figure out sword intent?"

However, it was at that moment that Libraia's sword began to switch between its original form and its ethereal form. Of course, that made the twins quite impressed. Though not only were they impressed, all the elders that the twins fought until now were also just as shocked. They still couldn't figure out how the weapon intents worked. But now, Libraia showed it right in front of them. How come even they didn't know?

"Libraia, this..." Govin couldn't help but open his mouth.

Libraia laughed out loud after that. "Hahaha! What? Surprised? Did you forget who I am? When it comes to the geniuses of the entire Jhiod Sect from my generation, I'm definitely ranked at the very top. Only that Iobe guy and Singa girl were my matches during my time. Now that I've had the chance to see sword intent so many times for an entire year, it goes without saying that I had a huge chance of understanding it."

Rean was still impressed, though. "It seems like all the Divine Stones you paid were worth it in the end." Libraia wasn't as fast as Ophilia, who learned it in just a few days. Nonetheless, she was the second person the twins had seen to learn an Intent. After an entire year in the Recruitment Building, no one other than Ophilia had understood a weapon intent in the System Sect.

Libraia was obviously delighted to hear that. "That's how much you two are worth. We know what weapon intents are, but we only had one chance to see them when a visitor from the center of the continent came to us. Believe it or not, weapon intents are also extremely rare in the center of the continent... or so I heard, at least. In a certain way, you two are more important than Erla herself."

Roan's opinion of Libraia improved a bit after that. "Still, you aren't intending to capture us or anything. Well, now that you have awakened your Sword Intent Seed, we aren't as important as we were a year ago. In any case, I can tell you aren't lying about making a sincere offer. Very well, I'm looking forward to seeing the Jhiod Sect."

Libraia and the twins then spoke for a while. They did the same thing with Govin, Iglet, and the other elders there. When they were finally done, they were sent to another hall, separated from the participants of the recruitment tests.

Erla, Min, Habac, and everyone else who would be joining the Jhiod Sect were there as well. Not only Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis's groups. There were also a few other participants that completed the twelve tests in a row after the Thunderstorm Breakthrough test.

Eventually, the day arrived for the departure. The one who would bring everyone just so happened to be Govin. He was also part of the Yume Clan, so Libraia had him take care of the twins and Erla on the way. "It's time. I'll grab all of you with my Divine Energy, so don't resist it." However, he noticed something as he looked at the twins, asking, "Where is that boy with three pupils? Is he not coming with you?"

"That's a secret," Rean replied with a smile.
