Death... and me

Chapter 776 - Almost Killed From Anger



As one could imagine, the reason Rean and Roan's energy could match Red's was due to their much bigger Spiritual Energy Pools. Of course, there was also the part where they were fighting together while Red was all alone. In a certain way, they were in a quite fair matchup since Red had the advantage in terms of cultivation.

*Gasp, gasp, gasp...*

​​

Red and the twins raggedly breathed as they looked at each other. They were quickly reaching their limits in fighting. Nevertheless, Red ignored that problem and quickly attacked again.

'Golden Heaven!'

Golden clouds gathered above Rean and Roan as golden lightning fell all over them and their copies. Of course, they wouldn't just stay there and wait to be hit.

'Death Style, Second Defensive Form, Cyclic Reversive Arcs!'

Strands of Dark and Light Elements once again appeared at the tip of the twins and the clones' swords, creating the same barrier that stopped the attack by destroying their power. 

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*

'Golden Streak!'

While that was happening, Red's body shot in their direction, attacking the twins while they defended the lightning coming from above. Well, Roan would never let his guard down just because of that.

'Death Style, First Energy Form, Shadow Bind!'

Dark vines materialized around him and Rean. However, it didn't try to stop Red. Instead, they attached to Rean and Roan's bodies, pulling them away from the area where Red was going to attack. 

Red was becoming furious already, cursing out loud, "Fuck! Can you stop running away?!"

Rean laughed in response while gasping for air. "Hahaha! You are... *gasp*... too strong. There's no way we can block you head-on!"

Roan agreed with Rean on that. "This is legitimate guerrilla warfare. Let's see who can last longer!"

Red knew that this was their plan. In any case, he couldn't give up so easily. "You asked for it!"

Until now, only the tip of Red's horn had golden lightning. However, as soon as he said those words, that golden lightning spread through the horn as a whole. However, that increased the burden on Red's body several times. It's just that Red ignored that. Soon after, he looked at Roan but quickly gave up. He understood that when it came to battle, Roan was just too hard to put down. Instead, his eyes fell on Rean.

'Golden Sacrifice!'

*Kabrum!*

Rean couldn't even see what happened. One moment, Red was still far away. On the next, Red's horn pierced right through his body, cutting it in two! Red displayed a speed that was definitely at the Stage Seven level, which he hadn't done until now.

"What?!" Rean was taken aback by that. He simply didn't see it at all!

When Red stopped, he looked behind as Rean's body...broke down into specks of white and black light. It was a clone!

The real Rean was fighting one of Red's clones. Roan asked him to change targets with his clone at some point in the battle without Red noticing. He thought that since Red failed to take him by surprise back then, he would try it with Rean next time. Sure enough, Roan was right. Rean could only stare at his clone's body disappearing as he felt a chill on his back. That clone could very well have been him.

*Cough, cough, cough!* Red destroyed one of Rean's clones, but he wasn't the least bit happy. The moment his body stopped again, he began to vomit several mouthfuls of blood! He had really overexerted himself. "When...when did you change?"

Roan snorted, responding, "Your attack pattern is too obvious. In this place where Spiritual Sense is greatly restricted, it wasn't hard to find a gap to exchange Rean for his clone without you noticing. Look around. There's no lack of floating red crystal islands to use as cover."

Red gritted his teeth as he looked at the Spiritual Energy Field's core. As always, it was fully surrounded by carrots. "In the end, that's my only choice, huh?"

Rean and Roan were taken aback by Red's words. However, it was too late. Red once again used his golden lightning to cover his entire horn as he shot in the direction of the Spiritual Energy Field's core. No matter what, he had to put an end to this.

*Kabrum!*

Rean and Roan were not Red's match in terms of raw power and speed. Naturally, they had no chance to stop Red's charge. However, just as Red was about to strike the core and destroy the carrots on the way, Rean used his Spiritual Energy to take the carrots out of Red's path.

"What?!" Red was shocked by that. Why would Rean suddenly do that? However, he decided to ignore it for now and finish the core first. He could only put his all one more time. After that, he would be too weak to even move.

*Boom!*

Red's horn struck the core head-on, once again making it crack all over. This time, the crack was much bigger, making the core almost collapse instantly. "Hahaha! I did it! I want to see how you will fix it now."

*Cough, cough, cough...*

However, Red began to cough even more blood again. His lightning wings disappeared as the golden lightning of his horn went out. The scales of his body then retracted together with the horn. Not too long after, Red's red color also disappeared together with his size, leaving behind nothing more than the snow-white rabbit that Rean and Roan knew about. Red was simply in no condition to fight anymore.

Following that, Red bitterly smiled at Rean and Roan, saying, "Hehehe! It seems like I paid the price for it. Go ahead, kill me. At the very least, I completed my job."

Rean sighed as he saw Red's clones disappear as well. Following that, he approached Red and patted his head, saying, "There's no need. You were just deceived, that's all."

Red was taken aback and didn't know what to say. He didn't expect that Rean would insist that he was wrong even now. "Even if I was wrong, it's too late now."

Roan looked at Rean and snorted in response, saying, "Hmph! Too late? That couldn't be further from the truth."

What followed after Roan's words almost killed Red from anger...
