Death... and me

*Arrrgh!*

Well, to be more specific, it wasn't Kentucky's entire wing but a small part that Roan purposely aimed at. Nevertheless, it was just as strong as the rest of his body, so the power was definitely there. "You used Death Scythe!"

Roan faintly smiled in response, saying, "Indeed. The other attacks had no effect on you, so I used Death Scythe. However, I didn't expect to break your defenses. Well, I was barely able to cut it off, though."

Rean quickly approached Kentucky before passing a pill to him. "Swallow it. We'll use the medicinal properties to grow it back. Look, it's just a tiny piece. A Minokawa of your size should barely feel it."

"Tiny piece?" Kentucky felt like crying after hearing that. "What if he had attacked me directly then?"

"I had already decided from the start that I wouldn't do it due to the risks," Roan answered. "Now, just focus on your healing, and you should have it regrown in no time."

Celis took the chance to comment on that. "Well, Kentucky's defense is also amazing. I saw everything with my Divine Sense. Roan's all-out attack with both Dark and Light Element fused with space only barely achieved this result. If he had attacked Kentucky right in the middle, he definitely wouldn't have cut through. Of course, it would have still been quite a deep injury."

Rean agreed with Celis. "Indeed. This defensive skill your father gave you is just too strong."

Kentucky focused on the healing with Rean as the part of his wing that was cut off began to grow again. "Strong? You still broke it, didn't you? That's obviously not enough."

"Wrong," Roan answered. "Don't forget that I used a power I was only supposed to have at the Elemental Space Realm. How many cultivators out there do you think can use an attack as strong as mine? If all I could do was cut this small piece from your wing, then I doubt there are many enemies in the Void Tempering Realm who can hurt you at all. In fact, you should be pretty much safe against most Space Bending Realm opponents. This is something that Rean, Celis, and I can say."

Kentucky had to admit it felt good to be praised like that. "Is that so? Then I'll let it slide this time."

Following that, Roan also joined Rean and helped with the healing. Sure enough, they were done in no time.

"Alright, with that done, I'm heading back outside," said Rean.

Roan and the others didn't mind and quickly saw Rean disappear from the Dimensional Realm. At the same time, they still talked through the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and the twins' connection. It's just that Rean received quite some attention outside, so he focused there.

"So that's why you spent that long inside your pocket realm." A Winged Provis suddenly talked to Rean.

Rean knew this guy as his Divine Sense was one of the Divine Senses that had been put to watch him. "Oh, Senior Tlevigan. What do you think? Am I amazing or not? I finally had my breakthrough into the Void Tempering Realm."

Tlevigan nodded and felt quite jealous as well. "I can see the black sphere in my natural spatial perception. As expected of someone who could already use Spatial Powers before the Void Tempering Realm. Your spatial abilities are ridiculously high for your cultivation level."

Rean shook his head, saying, "Senior doesn't need to say that much. The blackhole you create in my spatial perception is twice as big. I wouldn't be able to do anything to you. Besides, Senior Tlevigan can bend space since you're in the Space Bending Realm. I obviously can't do that in the Void Tempering Realm."

Tlevigan didn't quite like it. His Spatial Powers were stronger, but that was only the result of his cultivation since he was in the Late Stage of the Space Bending Realm. He was sure no one could beat Rean in the same realm. "At least I can see why Elder Fran decided to keep you here. However, you better not try anything funny. I'm not the only one with an eye on you. Don't forget your duty."

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. "I can already imagine that. Don't worry. I'll continue doing the trades as I'm supposed to do."

Not too long after, Fran received the message that Rean had his breakthrough in his Pocket Dimensional Realm. "So that human entered the Void Tempering Realm, huh? Well, his dantian was brimming with Divine Energy, so I already expected that to happen at some point. With his talent, it would be a joke if he had failed. The humanoid races are blind, as always."

The Winged Provis who came with the information nodded. "They're known for their power struggles. So many talents like this guy come and go unnoticed. By the way, Elder Fran, should we change some stuff now that he broke through? Should we increase the observers?"

"No need." Fran shook his head in response. "We have something he wants, so he won't try to escape. At least not until he gets his hands on it."

"Do you really intend to give him the Iridescent Tears if he convinces Jakar to stay?" The Winged Provis didn't like the idea as that item was too important for their race. With Rean's cultivation, they could simply refuse it, and Rean wouldn't be able to do anything.

However, Fran shook his head. "I don't think he will succeed. In any case, it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, it'll act as a good excuse to keep him around for a while."

"Keep him around? He isn't really someone important for that Jakar brat, right? Why would you want to keep him around?" The guy asked back, puzzled. "Could it be that you expect to recruit him to our race? I don't think any of the elders and the leader will allow it. Our Winged Provis race had never relied on any outside strength when it came to our overall power, after all. It's already a lot to let him make a few trades in our place."

Fran faintly smiled after hearing that. "Of course not. Instead, I have called a little help from outside to check on something regarding his identity."
