Death… And Me

Chapter 948 - The Door

Frin howled to the skies as his speed increased once again. The combination of him burning his Silver Fenrir bloodline, Duran delaying the demon through skill bombardment, and Rean\'s all-out Enhancement finally made them a bit faster than the demon.

"Impossible!" The demon, who was already using spatial power to move, couldn\'t believe he was falling behind. Well, he only had himself to blame. That\'s because his cultivation didn\'t allow him to use much spatial power. Compared to the being that exploded Sunkan Planet, this demon wasn\'t more than a step deep into the world of spatial energy.

*Vup!*

Suddenly, Frin stepped out of the cave before he used all his might to jump high into the skies. At the same time, Duran changed the target of his skills and aimed at the cave walls themselves.. In the very next moment, the cave entrance was sealed.

The skies of this Dimensional Realm obviously had a limit, but it was more than enough for their group\'s purpose.

Kentucky and Gulan looked at each other and nodded. Once the speed at which they were ascending matched their own ascending speed as Divine Demon Birds, those two would take the job of going further. That moment didn\'t take long to arrive either. Frin immediately changed into his human form before he landed on Kentucky\'s back. The others also did the same with Kentucky or Gulan.

*Creeeee!*

The two Divine Demon Birds cried to the skies as they used all the strength of their muscles and Spiritual Energy to flap their wings. Of course, Rean changed the target of his Enhancement skill to the two Divine Birds instead, increasing their speed even more.

Though it all took some time to explain, no more than a few seconds passed since Frin exited the cave.

*Bang!*

The demon smashed the rubble at the entrance with his spatial power, Spiritual Energy, and Underworld Energy. Duran\'s attempt wasn\'t able to hold the demon back for more than a couple of seconds. Nevertheless, that was enough for Kentucky and Gulan to fly even higher.

Since there was no such thing as Spiritual Sense in this realm, the demon took two or more so seconds to notice in which direction Rean\'s group had escaped. Well, there was also the fact that a lot of dust was around the cave entrance, which blinded his vision.

The demon then used all his strength to jump in the direction where Kentucky and Gulan headed. Unfortunately for him, Frin was using his bloodline and Rean\'s Enhancement skill when he jumped, so they weren\'t much worse than the demon\'s jump itself.

Underworld Energy and Spiritual Energy gathered around the demon\'s hands when he reached the highest point. He wouldn\'t go down without trying at the very least.

However, it was at this moment that the image of Kentucky and Gulan suddenly disappeared completely.

\'Light Bending!\'

Sure enough, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky activated their concealment skill, making it impossible to find them with naked eyes. They couldn\'t do that back in the cave since the demon would still see their steps. But in mid-air, and especially at a distance they were separated, there was no way for the demon to find their location. "Fuck!"

Nevertheless, he aimed his skill at the last point where he saw the twins\' group and released his most powerful attack.

\'Death Bringer!\'

A huge amount of Underworld Energy and Spiritual Power swept everything in its way, even space and air, destroying everything in a single direction.

Unfortunately for him, if it was Underworld Energy, Roan could feel its presence. Just as the demon was about to release his attack, Roan ordered Gulan and Kentucky to change direction instead of continuing to ascend. The demon couldn\'t see them anyway, so that was the best choice.

*Vuaaaaa!*

The demon\'s attack brushed past Kentucky and Gulan, who were still affected by the remaining Underworld Energy at the fringes of that attack. Rean and Roan acted quickly. Roan got rid of the Underworld Energy in their bodies as Rean healed any damage caused by it. All of that happened while still keeping his Light bending skill active.

The demon then began to fall from the skies since it couldn\'t keep itself afloat. At the same time, his body began to break apart as he used his last Stage Nine Demon Beast Soul to power his previous attack. \'Why did I have to be greedy? If I had just waited for the souls to come as always, I would eventually break the seal keeping me in this realm. But when I saw so many Divine Demon Beasts trying to enter the Bestial Sacred Ground, I simply couldn\'t hold myself back and activated my trap at the entrance. I\'m such an idiot...\'

The demon\'s body then began to disappear into specks of red light, only leaving behind some kind of ethereal dark energy. Rean\'s group didn\'t need to think much to understand that it was the demon\'s soul. "Should we head down and take it?"

Gulan narrowed his eyes before he shook his body. Soon after, he went after that soul and said, "Sorry, everyone. But I just can\'t let that guy survive. I\'ll destroy his soul even if it means going down with it."

Everyone quickly looked at each other and just sighed. Gulan\'s grandfather died because of the demon, so they could understand Gulan\'s motives.

However, just as Gulan was about to reach that dark soul, something unbelievable happened.

*Crack...crack...crack...*

*Creeeek...*

Space itself cracked apart, showing some kind of dark door behind it. Rean and Roan recognized that door instantly.

\'Isn\'t that the same door you used in the past?\' Rean asked.

Roan nodded as he said, \'Indeed. However, that one is a little different. That door won\'t send you to the reincarnation path. Instead, that one sends you to the Underworld.\'
