《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

All the bandits immediately began to run to all sides. However, the so-called Brother Luono was the only Foundation Establishment member in the group. The rest were all in the Energy Gathering Realm. Not too surprisingly, the Stage Two Azure Hyenas started a massacre. Brother Luono didn't even try to stop it, he simply turned around and used the other bandits as his own scapegoats.
There is no way he could fight all four at once. First of all, he is only a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. He could tell that the Azure Hyena Leader is at the peak of the Second Stage, he was simply no match for that. Let alone if all four attacked together.
However, the Hyena Leader noticed that Luono was much stronger than the others from the very start. So the moment Luono turned around to run, it pounced at him. Without another choice, Luono took out his weapon and blocked the attack while he kept running.
Unfortunately for him, he didn't have anyone to help him as the twins helped themselves. Rean and Roan might not like each other, but their teamwork is simply unmatched with their souls' connection.
But then again, he is in the Middle Stage of the Foundation Establishment, much higher than the twins. He kept running for two hours without stopping, his body was full of injuries. Finally, the Azure Hyena Leader got worried about the Azure Spiritual Flowers back in the lake, and ultimately gave up the pursuit.
Luono then sat down and sighed in relief. He had truly escaped calamity today.
"That damned Nial. If he survives against those Azure Hyenas, I will definitely kill him myself! As for those two brats, just wait until I find out where you came from. So what if you have a background? I doubt they can protect you forever!"

But it was then that he heard a voice beside his ear.
"Too bad, though. You won't have a chance."
Luono was frightened by that. But before he could even react, six dark and white swords appeared around instantly.
'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'
Luono just had enough time to raise his weapon and block one of the Swords. Unfortunately for him, that one was a fake. Well, it still had 70% of the attack power of the real ones, though. Two Swords pierced through his head while the other three went through his heart. That was instant death! All that remained was the expression of shock on his face.
On both his sides, Rean and Roan looked at the corpse. Sure enough, they didn't completely run away. Using Roan's experience about assassinations, the twins followed the Azure Hyena and Luono without them noticing. Even though Rean stopped Malaka, Roan still believed that wiping out the roots was the best thing to do.
He had noticed that this Luono was strong, so he thought about the possibility of him surviving against the Azure Hyena. Fate played as Roan imagined, and he really got out alive. Of course, it wasn't for long since Rean and Roan didn't give him a chance to.
Roan didn't feel anything when looking at the corpse, but Rean still felt somewhat annoyed by this feeling of killing someone. It was the same back when they were attacked by Nial's group.
Roan obviously noticed that.
"Get used to it, this is the kind of world we live in now."
Rean nodded before sighing. He knew that it was the truth.
"Let's go back. We left Malaka, Diakar, and Opril close to those Hyenas Territory. The Hyenas might go crazy now that an Azure Spiritual Flower was stolen and might find their hiding place."

Roan nodded. But before that, he examined Luono's body to see if there was nothing worth taking back. However, other than a few Spirit Stones and other cultivation resources, there weren't many things. As for his weapon, although it is a low-level Spiritual Equipment like their own swords, Rean's ones were still much better.
However, just as Roan was leaving, he noticed a pendant barely appearing through Luono's clothes' cuts. It seemed to be a little too big and didn't match this type of person at all. He took it out and noticed that it was the type that could keep things inside.
Rean and Roan looked at it curiously and opened it. Inside, they found a small green stone that seemed to be quite old. However, they had no idea why Luono would keep it with him.
"Could it be a precious stone?"
"I don't think this is the case. Considering that he is a bandit, he would have sold it a long time ago. Besides, he kept it inside that pendant, which was evident that he put a lot of importance on it. Maybe it is some kind of memento from a family member."
Rean nodded.
"That might be the case. Anyway, let's bring it with us as well. Who knows? Maybe it is worth something, so let's ask Alanda and Juri later."
Roan nodded and put that pendant around his neck and under his clothes.
The twins had to run a lot to flee from the Azure Hyenas, so it took them almost two hours to return to Diakar, Opril, and Malak.
Seeing Rean and Roan appearing once more, the two protectors sighed in relief.
However, Malaka immediately covered her nose.
"Rean, Roan, you stinky!"
Rean and Roan smelled themselves and had to admit that their smell wasn't very nice. Of course, it was due to the use of the Hyenas Skins and blood.
Diakar and Opril laughed before saying.
"You two surely took longer than we expected."
Rean shrugged his shoulders.
"We didn't have much choice. We had to wait until night time to come to infiltrate into their den. Fortunately, we got the Azure Spiritual Flower."
Diakar and Opril were taken aback.
"You entered their den?! How did you leave that place alive?"
Rean laughed before explaining everything that happened. Hearing the entire story, Diakar and Opril were shocked. That was really a crazy move. And finding the bandits once again while running, that could only mean one thing. It was evident that those bandits came after them because Roan let them escape. In the end, it played in their favor.
Suddenly, Malaka grabbed Rean and Roan's arms.
"I want to try this 'camouflage' thing you talked about. Go, go, use it!"
Roan's mouth twitched while Rean laughed and patted her head.
"It is useless during the day, maybe another time, okay?"
Malaka sulked a bit but gave up in the end.

Code Reader Kagami (LitRPG)
Sometimes things happen in this world that we are not in control of. Sometimes we are to a certain degree, and sometimes we are completely in control. However, this is a tale that constantly questions those boundaries. The story follows Kagami, a young programmer, as he winds up in a world almost alien to him. If it were up to him, he would have never visited this world and would rather stay raising his young daughter. Was it through his own actions that he had wound up here? Was it due to several combinations of factors? Or was it something he completely chose. These are questions that constantly haunt Kagami’s mind as he wanders this world and ponders his actions. Unfortunately, the glaring truth of it all refuses to ever look him in the eyes. Each night as he looks up at the night sky, he wonders if the end of this would turn out like the game he made. A tale of Guts and Glory… or would it turn out like he fears, a tale of blood and tears. Regardless of how it turns out, he will one day unveil the truth enshrouding it all. And perhaps in doing so, unveil the fate of his old world, enshrouded by mystery. ___________________________________________________________________________ While this is a typical Isekai started by the infamous truck-kun, the story is most definitely not what is to be taken at face value. I love making tragic twists into these types of stories. For Code Reader Kagami, you'll begin to see a descent into psychological madness. As your hero changes entirely from the moral man he initially was. If you're not a fan of dark aspect stories, this one is not for you. Thank you~
