DEATH… AND ME

Chapter 1236: Well, Roan Could

Naturally, Rean’s group wasn’t the last one to arrive.
The news spread between the cultivators who had the power to wander the Demising Catacombs.
Because of that, there were more than fifty different groups in the enormous room, waiting for the dark spheres to lose their powers.

Tiffany’s group, who had already left, didn’t release the information that Roan told them, though.
Tiffany, Roan, Rean, and Liana were the only ones at the gate who knew what could happen after it opened.

There was one thing that Tiffany had to ask, though.
‘What about your fellow members from the Sacred Land? Are you sure you don’t want to at least warn them?’

Roan snorted in response.
‘We don’t know them, so why should we?’

Rean agreed with Roan on that one.
‘Besides, it’s mostly Evil Path cultivators from the Sacred Land who came.
Not to mention that everyone knows the risks of entering this place, so they can’t blame anyone else.’

*Zi…zi…zi…zi…*

Eventually, the last sphere seemed to be losing its power.
As it happened, the formation protecting the gate also began to wane, losing its protection very fast.
Everyone’s eyes lit up, as it looked like the gate was really going to open.
They all got closer to it, ready to act once the path appeared…except for Rean’s group.
They got closer to the exit instead.
Rean and Roan said that they wouldn’t be harmed by the burst of Dark Element and Yin Energy from inside, but that didn’t mean that was the only danger behind it.

*Clack, clack, clack, clack…* 

The sound of locks coming off could be heard, which made the bystanders even more excited.
However, they failed to notice something.
From the gaps of the gate, Dark Element began to rush out, even if just a little.
Well, one person didn’t fail to notice it, Roan.
‘I was right!’

Hearing that, Tiffany immediately grabbed Liana’s arm, ready to dash away as fast as possible.
However, Roan stopped them.
‘I praise your courage for staying regardless of the danger.
Stay by our side.
Rean and I can protect you.’

Rean smiled as he heard that.
‘You do want to see what’s on the other side, right? It seems like you’ll be able to do so without anyone there to bother you.’

Soon enough, the last sphere lost its power completely as the gate’s last lock was released.

*BOOOOOM!*

The moment the lock turned loose, the gate burst open with such strength that it even created a shockwave on its own.
Though, that meant very little compared to the unprecedented amount of Dark Element and Yin Energy spreading throughout the area. 

*Ahhhhhh!*

*Arrrgh!*

*Nooooo!*

That wave of Yin Energy and Dark Element immediately assaulted everyone in the room, reaching Rean and Roan’s position in a fraction of a second.
Fortunately for the twins’ group, they were already expecting it, so they had braced themselves not to be blasted away.

The bodies of everyone in front of the wave immediately began to rot as their life forces were wiped out in a moment.
No one was spared.
Even if Roan released all his power to create Dark Element, he wouldn’t even get close to the amount of Dark Element that exited that gate.

‘Death World!’

Roan’s Death World immediately enveloped Tiffany and Liana, which made the burst of Dark Element and Yin Energy lose most of its power when it collided with Roan’s own Dark Element.
However, it was still way too much Dark Element for anyone other than Rean and Roan to bear.
At least, too much for anyone at the Elemental Transformation Realm and below.

‘Light Burst!’

‘However, Rean also acted, touching the two girls’ shoulders and sending a huge burst of Light Element into their bodies.
This time, the Light Element had an objective, which was to keep the Dark Element out of the girl’s bodies, so the usual wave of pleasure didn’t happen.

Tiffany and Liana looked at what was happening with frightened expressions.
They were able to see with their Divine Senses how everyone around the gate began to fall dead like flies.
It didn’t matter what cultivation level they had or if they were from the righteous or evil path.

But then again, the real top disciples of each power had their own life-saving treasures, which they brought out.
Several barriers, far above the level of what an Elemental Transformation Realm cultivator could use, appeared one after another.
Granto was obviously one of them.

*Crack, crack, crack…*

However, they truly underestimated the amount of Yin Energy and Dark Element trapped behind the gate. 

*Shatter, shatter, shatter…*

The barriers broke apart one after another as well.
Those who had more than one life-saving treasure didn’t hesitate before bringing them out.
As for those who didn’t, they died not long after.
Everything happened in a matter of four to five seconds.
Eventually, the burst of Dark Element and Yin Energy started to die out.
Of course, the concentration in the air was still incredulously dense compared to what it was before.

It was at that moment that Rean smiled before contacting Roan through their Soul Connection.
‘Roan, I’m fine on my own.
Leave these girls to me.
You can go.’

Roan coldly smiled as well before White Scythe appeared in his hand.
Dark Element? Yin Energy? Such things only boosted his power.

‘Death Style, First Movement Form, Shadow Steps!’

‘Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!’

Roan immediately disappeared like a ghost, blending in with the darkness that covered the room.
With so much Dark Element, he didn’t even need Rean’s Divine Sense bending skill.
He was truly invisible, even if for a small amount of time.

Hedoi, Granto, and Kluo.
Those three were still defending against the Dark Element and Yin Energy but were having a hard time doing it.
It was obvious that they were seriously affected by it.
Besides, none of them had time to think about a sneak attack.
If even them, Evil Path cultivators who use Dark Element were suffering like this, let alone the others.
How could someone spend the effort to attack in this situation?

Well, Roan could… 

‘Death Style, Death Scythe!’
