Death... and me



'Death World Domain!'

'Kawa Blade Domain!'

Roan and Kentucky immediately activated their domains, and so did Eagon. Eagon's one seemed to be of the fire type, pretty common if you think about it.

Roan, as the Death World user, obviously could control it so that his own Domain wouldn't corrode Eagon or Kentucky's Domains. The same happened in Kentucky and Eagon's cases.

Kentucky used his limitless blade feathers in his Domain to block all the Rays of Light that the Crystal shot. Usually, the Crystal would be able to make its lasers dodge like it did against Roan's Scythe. However, Roan's Death World completely messed up with the Crystal's senses.

Roan was certain about one thing, though. That Crystal wasn't using Divine Sense. If it was, his Divine Sense Bending Skill would have captured it. In that case, the Crystal was definitely using some other method to pinpoint their location. That's where his Death World came in. Other than Eagon and Kentucky's Domains and powers, Roan was corroding everything with his Domain's Dark Element.

That caused the senses of the Crystal to be messed up since it didn't have real vision. It wasn't like it had eyes or anything like that. With that, Kentucky's Blade Feathers were able to intercept most of those lasers now. 'As I thought, he is probably using the World Essence or something similar to see the environment around itself. With my Death World activated, even World Essence won't be able to escape the corrosion of my Dark Element.'

Sure enough, the Crystal being was having a hard time finding Roan's group. He could still detect them but not follow their moves as perfectly as before. "Fuck!" 

In the end, it threw caution to the wind and began to shoot its lasers everywhere. Thousands of Rays of Colored Light spread around that Pseudo-Dimensional Realm, indiscriminately hitting anything on their way.

Roan obviously saw that and began to use his Scythe to defend against the Rays that came his way. Fortunately, since the Crystal could follow his movements inside the Death World, it allowed him to dodge and block any potential threat from those attacks.

Eagon was using a small translucent shield that moved everywhere his will ordered. From the looks of it, the shield was quite a high-level Divine Equipment since it didn't get damaged by the lasers.

Kentucky, on the other hand, activated his Dark and Light Divine Armor, which was blocking the few lasers that he couldn't dodge in time.

For now, it seemed like Roan's group wouldn't be in any danger. Above all, the Pseudo-Dimensional Realm kept everything that was happening inside itself, so those attacks weren't affecting the planet either.

Unfortunately, the same problem persisted.

'We can't continue like this forever,' Eagon suddenly communicated with Roan and Kentucky.

Roan nodded, knowing that the Crystal had a lot more energy than the three of them together. In a battle of attrition, his group was definitely going to lose in the end. But then again, how would he stop something that he couldn't attack?

Suddenly, Kentucky shouted to the Crystal. "Hey, stop this bullshit! We have nothing to do with whoever fooled you!"

"Do you think I will simply believe you again?!" The Crystal shouted back.

Kentucky continued. "Then how do we prove to you we have nothing to do with them? If you are so certain we are part of the same group, then you definitely have a reason for that."

Eagon and Roan were surprised that the Crystal was even willing to talk. In any case, they simply left Kentucky to continue while they figured something out.

"Prof?" Yet, it was at this moment that the Crystal stopped its attacks. "Now that I think about it, there is a way to prove indeed."

"There is?" Roan and Eagon asked back at the same time. "Then... how do we do it?" Roan even reduced the effect of his Death World so that the Crystal wouldn't restart the attacks.

"You just need to let me see your pasts," the Crystal answered.

Roan, Kentucky, and Eagon were taken aback. That Crystal could see the past? Well, Roan and Kentucky had experienced something similar because of the system. There was also that time when the Fragment looked into Romario's past events as well. That said, they couldn't truly say it was impossible.

However, there was also a problem: Roan and Kentucky had a lot of secrets, and Eagon shouldn't be different. Could they really let the Crystal do such a thing? Obviously not. 

Eagon was the first one to refuse. "I don't know if you can really look into the past or not. However, that won't do. It's not that we have something to hide from you, but we do have our own secrets we don't want anyone else to know. Choose something else."

Kentucky and Roan nodded. "He is right. You have your own secrets, too. Would you like if we could see into it?"

The Crystals did like the answer at all. "Then we have nothing else to talk about." He immediately gathered Divine Origin Energy and World Essence, ready to restart the barrage.

"Wait, I have an idea!" Yet, it was at this moment that Kentucky intervened.

The Crystal paused for a moment. "What idea?"

Kentucky then looked at Eagon. "Eagon, back when the planet was destroyed, you met the two guys from the Vruve Organization who did it, didn't you?"

Eagon nodded. "Indeed. I'm the Lord of this Sector of the Mortal Realm. When the planet was destroyed, I immediately detected the fluctuations and came here to check. It was then that I met those two cultivators."

The Crystal got angry again. "You know them?!"

Eagon quickly shook his head. "No. Well, not completely. I know they are part of the Vruve Organization, an Organization that stands separated from the Three Higher Realms."

Kentucky then requested. "Eagon, can you project an image of the two people you met back then?"

Eagon didn't understand where Kentucky was coming from. Still, he did just as Kentucky asked. "Well... sure..." Immediately, he used his Divine Energy to create an image of the two guys. 

"This..." The Crystal was taken aback. "These are not the guys I made a deal with."
