Death... and me

Sutil then rushed back to the Death World, only to stop right in front of it. In the end, he saw just how easily Raco was killed, to the point that he didn't even have a chance to react. If he entered the twins' Death World, wouldn't he be sending himself to his death as well? Then again, it seemed like Tran was still holding on. With that in mind, were the twins really that strong, or was it Raco's mistake that he died that quickly?

Suddenly, Tran shouted from inside the Death World, "Fuck me! Sutil, where are you?! I can't hold on my own for much longer!"

Because the twins focused their firepower on Raco first, they indeed killed him very fast. However, Tran understood the disadvantageous position he was in and completely changed his mind before the twins began to focus on him. He was still a Middle Stage Saint Realm cultivator, after all.

Sutil gritted his teeth as he heard that and soon rushed inside. While keeping his Divine Sense spread out, he was finally able to find the twins every time they got too close. However, he didn't focus on the twins. Instead, he sent a Divine Sense Message to Tran, telling him, 'Get close to me, and let's leave this darkness.'

Tran nodded in response and immediately moved in Sutil's direction. At the same time, Sutil increased the power of his Wrath of the Thunder God, retaliating against all the attacks coming from the twins.

Eventually, Sutil and Tran got close to each other and dashed out of the Death World...or so they tried. Unfortunately for them, Death World had Roan as the conjurer. It would move wherever he went. With that being said, Roan only had to accompany Sutil and Tran as they tried to leave its range.

On the other hand, the ones who left the Death World were Eminia and Fatax. After all, they only received a message from Rean and Roan to not move when the battle started. "Wh-what happened?"

They looked ahead and could now see the huge dark area moving away from them quite quickly. However, what really caught their attention was the body of one of Saint Realm enemies on the ground. "This..."

They couldn't believe it. Rean and Roan were obviously an entire realm below the enemies at the very least, so how did they do that? No, that wasn't all. They also could tell that Rean and Roan were pursuing the two other guys. It was obvious that they held the advantage. "This kind of power..."

Eminia pondered over it a bit before saying to Fatax, "They're probably members of the Royal Family, or at the very least, one of the big sects or clans of our kingdom."

Fatax agreed with Eminia on that. "Indeed. They should be very high up on the strength ranking there. Perhaps they're legacy disciples or something like that."

Tran and Sutil were starting to feel desperate. It didn't matter how much they ran away as the dark environment didn't disappear. Besides, the twins kept up their assault from all sides.

'Three Claws of the Dragon!'

'Stellar Piercer!'

'Soaring Dragon!'

'Flame Emperor Slash!'

'Flaming Blade Arc!'

Seeing that, Sutil understood that he wouldn't be able to leave this place if he were to try and bring Tran with him. In fact, he was in doubt if he could go on his own. 'Tran, when I give you a signal, use your strongest attack against the enemies.'

Tran didn't know what Sutil was planning, so he could only follow his words. 'Alright!'

They continued to retreat for a few more meters until...

'Now!'

Tran immediately gathered Divine Energy and Water Element as fast as he could before releasing his attack.

'Water Vortex!'

As the name implied, a Water Vortex quickly appeared around Tran before expanding rapidly. Soon after, Tran pointed forward, commanding the attack to go in the direction indicated by Sutil.

*Shuaaaaaaa!*

Tran couldn't help but gasp for air after that, feeling the backlash of his attack. It hit a very big area, which was something hard to do in the Realm of Gods due to the restrictions. However, it was at this moment that his expression went dark. The moment he used his Water Vortex, Sutil ran away! 'Fuck! You fooled me!'

Sutil couldn't care less, though. 'Hmph! You should be grateful that I even entered this fucking dark thing to try and save you. Since it isn't possible, don't blame me for escaping on my own!'

With Sutil abandoning him, Tran decided to run away on his own. However, he was in the worst possible condition after that attack. Rean and Roan, obviously, didn't let the chance pass up.

'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

'Life Fire, Second Form, White Stellar Explosion!'

*Boom!*

*Arrrgh!*

Tran tried to raise a barrier while using his weapon to stop the twins. Unfortunately, it was way too frail to succeed. Roan's attack hit his vital organs while Rean's attack crashed his body against the ground. He was dead as dead could be!

Sutil heard the explosion and increased his Lightning movement technique to the max. After some time, he was able to see the light of the outside once again. From there, he would rush to his Vask Eagle and get away from this place. His forces could try to capture Eminia later when their group tried to enter the demon beasts' territory.

'Heading somewhere?'

Sutil felt a chill on his back when he escaped the Death World, though. Right in front of him, two twins with black and white hair were already waiting for him. "This... what about Tran?!"

Roan snorted after hearing Sutil's shocked response. "He's dead already. After you tricked him, ending his life was so easy that we didn't even need to intervene on our own." Rean and Roan's clones couldn't compare to the originals. However, they were more than enough for that weakened Saint Realm cultivator. In Tran's state before his death, even an Initial Stage Saint Realm cultivator could easily defeat him, let alone the twins.

Roan then pointed his White Star at Sutil and told him, "What was that exactly? Oh, right! If you surrender yourself nicely, I can at least give you a quick death. Weren't those your words? I hope you don't mind me using them."
