DEATH… AND ME

their power was blocked.
Still, that just gave him enough time to escape death or being severely injured.

At this moment, Lovak was in a dilemma.
There were way too many enemies for him to deal alone.
If things continued like this, he would definitely lose.
However, he understood that just like his Rumbling Core Technique, the twins ’ technique definitely put a great burden on their Spiritual Energy too.
In theory, as a Core Formation Realm cultivator, he should be able to battle for longer. 

However, what if he was wrong? Every second that his Rumblind Core was active, the worse became his situation. 

Lovak then spread his Spiritual Sense around once more.
As soon as he did that, he felt a cold chill on his back.
His companions were falling one after another.
Soon, the power of the formation will be redirected at him.
Even if he wins this battle, he might not have enough power to revert the situation and retake control of the formation.
Chances were he would die trying.

*swish, swish!*

Once again, Lovak dodged two Stellar Piercers from Rean and Roan.
At the same time, he finally began to feel the backlash of his Rumblind Core Technique.
In the end, Lovak greeted his teeth and made a decision.

’Run! ’

Spiritual Energy gathered around his legs as he jumped in a different direction from Rean and Roan.
In a moment, he was already on top of the Fort Walls.
There was nothing wrong with that decision.
One must remember, Lovak is a bandit, not an upright person.
He definitely wouldn ’t give up his life just to keep his honor, that ’s for sure.

Rean and Roan noticed what he was trying to do, and so did Sister Orb.
She then deviated some of the formation ’s power and tried to block Lovak ’s escaping route.
Rean and Roan also rushed at him.
Unfortunately, Lovak was still using his Rumbling Core.
Not to mention that the formation ’s power wasn ’t all focused on him.
Using brute force, he broke through the Spiritual Energy Swords, quickly leaving the formation ’s range.

Roan looked at that and raised his hand.

”Let him go. ”

Rean stopped as well and didn ’t say anything.
Immediately after, their copies turned into specs of Light and Dark Energies, quickly disappearing.
Rean ’s knees then fell on the floor while he used his Sword to maintain equilibrium.
Although Roan didn ’t fall, he was very close to do that as well.
In the end, Lovak was right.
Rean and Roan ’s Fifth Form of the Death Style was extremely burdensome to the body.
One would wonder which side would fall first.

Rean then took a deep breath and channeled his Spiritual Energy, promptly gathering the Light Element on the surroundings.
The used it to alleviate the pressure in his body after they canceled the technique.
He also sent a wave of Light Energy into Roan ’s body through their Soul Connection to help him recover.
Roan, of course, didn ’t complain.

”In the end, he was too much for both of us. ”

Roan shook his head.

”What I didn ’t expect was that he had a technique that could increase his power so much.
There was nothing we could do about that.
Also, don ’t look down at what we did.
Different from the Inferno Wolf, we were fighting a real human being.
Someone who had intelligence! Not to mention that he definitely went through several life and death situations in his life.
If we battled that Inferno Wolf again while using the fifth form, that demon beast would have died 10 times over already. ”

Roan wasn ’t discouraged by the result.
His objective during this mission was very simple, acquiring combat experience! This last battle against Lovak left nothing for him to complain about.

Rean nodded and didn ’t say anything else.
Around a minute later, he got up and looked around with Roan.
At the same time, they saw Oritis and Rolim returning from the building that they thought the hostages were locked inside.
From the looks of it, they finished their job too.
Luina was still battling the sub-leaders of the group, but it was evident that her enemies wouldn ’t last much longer.
Not to mention that Sister Orb began to shift more and more of the formation ’s power towards them.

Roan ’s expression didn ’t change, though.

”Let ’s finish cleaning. ”

By the end of the assault at the Gold Hands Bandit Group ’s Nest, only their Leader escaped.
The rest was utterly wiped out.
