Death… And Me-Novel



Abelha was taken aback by Kentucky's sudden appearance. By the time she noticed it, all of Kentucky's blade feathers had come from all sides. All of them carried huge space power as well as Light and Dark Elements. Inside the Kawa Blade Domain, space became harder to control due to Kentucky's bloodline ability. Not to mention that his partially unlocked Regal Bloodline made it even stronger.

Abelha still reacted, though. Kentucky only made his move when she approached Librao. That was the moment she was most focused on the twins below. Yet, that meant she could at least defend herself and her brother at the same time, even if it was a hasty action.

'Spatial Water Lock!'

With her Elemental Space Realm cultivation, she fused water and space elements together, creating a small dome that slowed down anything that entered into contact. Anything that passed through it also lost some power to its effects.

*swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...*Follow current novelenglish.net . s on Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

*Arrrrghhhhhhh!!!*

Unfortunately for her, there were two problems. First, as a devil, her main elemental affinity was obviously darkness. Water Element for her was the same for Roan, just a secondary one. It wasn't as strong as Dark Element. It's just that she saw that the twins' group could use Light Element when they attacked her brother. That said, using Dark Element in her Spatial Lock would have been much worse.

The second problem was that she was still at the Initial Stage of the Elemental Space Realm. Spatial Lock was different from using space to hinder the enemy's movements. Instead, it truly locked the space around the target. If you didn't have the cultivation necessary to fight against it, there would be no such thing as slowing down. You would truly be locked in space. The issue with Abelha's Spatial Lock was that it was too green. She had only become able to barely use it, so the spatial lock, even with her water element, could be easily broken. Let alone the fact she cast it in a hurry.

Several of Kentucky's Kawa Blade Feathers still passed through it without a problem, losing not much of their power. Immediately, both Abelha and Librao got slashed from all sides. The one to get the worst of the exchange was Abelha. That's because her brother had already suffered severe injuries, and anything extra could truly kill him. She used herself to defend him while sustaining the damage.

Kentucky kept his wings spread as he continued to control his Kawa Blade Domain. His feather shined with Light and Dark Elements as well as the power of space, making him look like a true Divine Bird. Well, he was a Divine Demon Beast. It's just that he didn't quite act like one.

"All kill you!"

Abelha got many injuries, but she was still more than an entire realm above the twins' group in cultivation. That wasn't something so easily countered. Her hastily conjured Spatial Lock grew stronger in just a few moments as Kentucky's Blade Feather started to struggle to get through her Spatial Water Lock.

Finally, Abelha gathered enough strength to defend against Kentucky's Blade Feather and counter-attacked. A pair of golden needles the size of an arm appeared on each of Abelha's hands. They brimmed with Space Power, showing that they were at the Divine Late Level. To hold a Void Tempering Realm Level of Space Power, a piece of equipment has to be at the Divine Low-Level at least. A Divine Middle Level was necessary for a Space Bending Realm level of power. As for Abelha's needles, they had to be at the Divine High-Level. 

Even Rean couldn't forge something like that yet... Well, he could forge Middle-Level ones that would be even better than High-Level. It's just that he and Roan wouldn't be able to use it at the Void Tempering Realm yet.

'Divine Space Thruster!'

Abelha bent the space around her while holding her brother with her Divine Energy. Her level was obviously higher than Librao, so she was able to close in on Kentucky almost instantly. Both golden needles then shot out of her hands like arrows, aiming at Kentucky's Head and Chest at the same time.

Kentucky showed a panicked expression and immediately tried to get away from Abelha's attack. It didn't work, though. Abelha was still faster than him, even if not by much.

"Die, Void Tempering Ant!"

The needles were shot at an almost point-blank distance, making it almost impossible to avoid... It's just that Kentucky never planned to avoid them to start with. The panicked expression on his face suddenly disappeared as his body feathers shined with even more Dark and Light Elements.

'Dark and Light Divine Armor!'

Kentucky had the strongest defense of the twins' group by far. Even the Starlight Body Rean and Roan used couldn't be as resistant as Kentucky's natural defense. Let alone when he uses his Minokawa Bloodline Defense ability.

*Clang, Clang!*

Both Golden Needles hit Kentucky's body but couldn't go through his defense. No, to be more specific, they were making progress little by little, breaking through Kentucky's Feather Blades and Scales. It was an attack of a much higher-level cultivator, after all. Too bad it was too slow.

'Impossible! What kind of monstrous defense is that?!'

Abelha couldn't believe a Void Tempering Realm Demon Beast would be able to block her attack like that. Yet, she also noticed the situation she found herself in after her attack failed to take down Kentucky. 'Not good!'

It's not that she lost track of the twins. She used her Divine Sense as well as her Natural Spatial Detection to keep an eye on the twins' location. But the moment her needles were about to hit Kentucky, her attention was taken by that event. That was enough time for Rean and Roan to move. 

'Death Style, Shadow Air!'

They moved behind Kentucky, using the Dark Element from his body to move unnoticed. When the two needles failed, both the twins shot out from Kentucky's back, and pincer attacked Abelha and Librao.

Sword and Scythe Intent Third Stage, Call of the Weapons! Rean and Roan kept their intents hidden until the last moment. Sure, they had Librao in their hands during the first attack, but Abelha was still the strongest enemy, even though Librao presented himself on a silver plate. They had to have something in hand for when the moment came to take her down.

'Death Style, Death Scythe!'

'Life Fire, Flame Emperor Slash!'

Abelha panicked for real this time. She could tell that Rean and Roan's attacks were much stronger than the ones used against her brother. Even at her Elemental Space level, she had no confidence whatsoever she could block them, let alone avoid them. All she could do was embrace her brother and release all her Divine Energy and Space Power at once, hoping to put up a defense strong enough to at least survive that surprise attack!

Too bad that it was too late. Rean and Roan's attack passed through her defenses like a hot knife through butter. Only death awaited her and her brother... or so everyone thought.

*Bzzzzzz!*

It was at that moment that a Spatial Lock was conjured around them. Immediately, Rean, Roan, Kentucky, Librao, and even Abelha, with her Elemental Space Realm cultivation, were completely frozen in place. The Spatial Lock Abelha had used in this battle couldn't even hold a candle to the one they were feeling now.

"Well, well, well... What do we have here?"

Several hundred meters up in the sky, a middle-aged man appeared as he struck his beard. What impressed Rean, Roan, and Kentucky the most was how high he was. At that level, the Space Laws would pressure you down completely. Even Kentucky couldn't go more than a few tens of meters, barely high enough to avoid the swamp trees below. That showed just how many times higher was that man's spatial power compared to the rest.

He slowly came down, not feeling the least bit uncomfortable with the space around him trying to push him down. It was as if he couldn't even feel it.

Abelha, being the one with the highest control over space power other than the man, could only barely utter a few words. "Crazy Old Luman..."

He was the man Abelha and Librao didn't want to see the most. But then again, Abelha couldn't be happier at the moment as she would probably have died if he didn't.

Luman looked at Abelha for a moment and fell into a pensive expression. "Hum... I feel like I've seen you before. Oh! It's Libina's toddler. Now, that's quite a pleasure. I wonder if your mother is still alive. I still remember how good-looking she was. Well, you have become quite a beauty yourself, so how about it? Would you b willing to bear this man's child?"

Abelha felt a chill on her back, looking at the perverted expression on the man in front of her.

Yet, his attention quickly shifted as he looked at Rean, Roan, and Kentucky. "Hum? A Living Soul? I can't believe I found a Living Being from the Realm of Gods here. Today is my lucky day!" Sure enough, he noticed that Kentucky was a real Demon Beast since he couldn't change his body like Rean and Roan.

Yet, it was Rean that felt the most surprised as he used all his strength to speak. "But... You are also a Living Being... even though you did a very good job of pretending to be a Devil."

Luman's smile immediately disappeared, and shock covered his face. No one had seen through his disguise before. "Boy... Who are you?"
