Death… And Me

Chapter 782 - Intervention

Darian nodded, saying in response, "Yes. The same way we\'re keeping an eye on the Soul Rulers, they\'re definitely doing the same thing to us."

Phex continued after confirming that. "Alright. I\'m heading back first to start passing the mission for demon beasts at Stage Seven and above. Since the Soul Rulers\' top experts took action, there\'s no need to hold back anymore."

Phex was just about to leave the underwater palace when suddenly, Rean called his attention. "Wait, Senior Phex. There\'s something I want to help you with."

Phex turned around just in time to see Rean grabbing his arm. Soon after, Rean\'s Spiritual Energy and Light Element entered Phex\'s body.

\'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!\'

Immediately, everyone saw as Rean healed Phex\'s injuries. Well, Rean and Phex had a huge difference in cultivation, so it didn\'t happen as fast as it happened with the twins. It took Rean over four hours and multiple Spirit Stones to make up for that. In any case, Rean was truly able to heal injuries on Transition Realm cultivators!

When he finished, Phex couldn\'t help but ask, "How can Light Element be this strong?"

Rean shook his head as he replied, "It wasn\'t just Light Element doing the work. Senior\'s body had a lot of foreign power rampaging around. Obviously, those powers were the outcome of the Zasfins\' attacks. I also used Roan\'s Dark Element to slowly destroy them. Unfortunately, my cultivation is much lower than them, so it took me all this time to finish."

Phex patted Rean\'s shoulder as he laughed. "All this time? Hahaha! If I were to heal myself, I would take at least a few months! You did it in a few hours! You have no idea how much you\'ve helped me with that." It was then that Phex thought about something. "Can you...help Darian with his blood loss?" Darian wasn\'t injured, but he did lose a lot of his blood. That would take much, much longer to recover than any other severe injury. Well, it was even more so since Darian is very old.

Darin couldn\'t help but show a hint of hope. He could still more or less fight at the peak of Stage Eight or at the Initial Stage Nine Level. However, the top experts of the Zasfin race were definitely at the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm, so he wouldn\'t be of much help like that.

Rean pondered a bit about the issue before saying, "Hmm...I\'m not sure." Light Element gathered above Rean\'s hand as he explained, "What I\'m doing is simply stimulating the natural recovery ability of the body through the manipulation of Life Force. With that said, I\'ve never tried to stimulate the production of blood, let alone the blood of a Divine Demon Beast." Rean then looked at Darian as he continued, "I\'m not sure what effects would happen if I tried."

Darian immediately grabbed Rean\'s hand as he hastily replied, "This old man is willing to give it a shot. As for any collateral damage, I won\'t hold you accountable. The way I am at the moment, I won\'t be able to help the demon Bbasts for the next decade at the very least." Sure enough, Darian didn\'t want to be left behind.

Rean looked at the other demon beasts after this. Surprisingly, they all nodded, approving Darian\'s decision. "Alright then. Let\'s see how it goes."

At the same time, Phex turned around, preparing to leave as he told them, "Give it a go. As for me, I\'m going back to organize everything."

Roan once again stopped Phex, though. "Are you perhaps planning to move demon beast tides?"

Although most of the world was under the Zasfins\' control, many areas with demon beasts were still available. That being said, one could find some demon beast tides happening every once in a while close to those regions. Now that the demon beasts were leaving the Demon Beast Continent, it had become even more common. The alliance used this method many times while attacking in the previous years.

Phex nodded, responding, "Yes. I did send quite a few to raid the Zasfins\' territories. However, they weren\'t even close to the number of tides I could use. I\'m planning to go all out from now on."

Roan faintly smiled after hearing that as he said in response, "In that case, would you mind leaving the control over the tides to me?"

Phex and everyone else were taken aback after hearing that. "Why?"

Rean laughed as he pointed at Roan, saying, "You should listen to him. When it comes to war tactics, I doubt any of you would ever be his match. Trust me, any arm in his hand would display a level of power many times higher than normal."

Phex pondered a bit before saying, "You must understand that demon beast tides are mostly made up of demon beasts at Stage Four and below. They don\'t have sentience, so they can\'t follow any complex orders. Do you still think it would be of any use?"

Roan assured Phex as he replied, "As long as you can control them to say when and where to attack, that should be more than enough."

One of the Stage Nine Demon Beasts couldn\'t help but intervene. "Wait! Is it really okay to leave this human in charge of the tides? Aren\'t we trusting them way too much? What proof do we have about his abilities controlling armies? What if all of this is fake, and he uses this chance to give us a blow instead? Don\'t you think this is too risky?"

Sure enough, that was also a problem.
