《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Rean's group continued to run around the border of the Inner Region. After two hours, they had found a total of three Stage Two Demon Beasts. One thing worth pointing out is that in general, those demon beasts are rarely alone. They always have a few weaker ones of the same species following them.
Be it Rean or Roan, they had no problem dealing with them. First, their real combat power was far above their Initial Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. As Sister Orb mentioned before, they could fight ordinary Advanced Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. So it goes without saying that even a Peak Stage Two Demon Beast would most likely be helpless against them when they worked together.
It was also a good thing since Malaka's group could exercise against the weaker ones that followed them. This time, Julio and Lenna had a lot more time to rest between battles since they didn't find demon beasts all the time.
As time passed, the Death Team's position began to grow in the ranks. Of course, three days killing only Stage One demon beasts without having Rean and Roan's help made the gap between them and first place quite big. Just a few hours that wouldn't eliminate that difference.
'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'
A ray of Light moved at extreme speeds against what seemed to be a giant red rabbit.
*Puch!*
It pierced through its right back leg, which immediately made it fall on the ground.
Roan appeared one the flank and finished it with the Third Form of the Death Style. It was a Blood Rabbit. In the first clash against Roan, it instantly got injured. Noticing the danger that it was in, the rabbit immediately turned around to flee. But as seen just a moment ago, it didn't get too far before breathing its last. Sure enough, it was another Stage Two Demon Beast.
Roan looked behind and saw several other Blood Rabbits who were in the middle of a battle against Malaka, Julio, and Lenna.

"This Demon Beast had quite a few underlings, no?"
Rean nodded.
"Well, it looked like a Rabbit, after all. I don't know if I could really compare it with a real rabbit from my previous world, but it seemed like it was quite fertile."
Roan nodded. At the moment, those three were fighting against 8 Stage One Blood Rabbits. However, Rean and Roan could see that they weren't that strong. It looked more like that used their advantage in numbers than individual prowess.
"Can they resist so many?"
"Give them a chance, but stay close to them just in case."
Numbers had its own quality, so Julio and Lenna had a hard time to hold against them. They kept retreating without stop as Malaka did her best to hold a few of them. Even for Malaka, too many enemies were too hard to deal with.
Finally, a breach appeared in Julio's defense, and one of the Blood Rabbits targeted his neck. But just as it was about to hit its target, a ray of Black Light Pierced its shoulders. Julio couldn't help but sweat cold when the Blood Rabbit's teeth passed just a few centimeters of his neck.
"How can you leave your guard down? You have a fucking Spiritual Sense, so use it! How come you didn't notice it coming from your side?"
Roan was harsh as always, which put quite a lot more pressure on Julio. It was not that his Spiritual Sense couldn't see the Blood Rabbit, it's just that there were too many for him to focus on. That's why he missed this last one's attack.
Spiritual Sense wasn't exactly like a 360 degrees sensor. You could cover this area, but you had to lock on the target as well, or you might miss it. Keeping several targets under watch was quite difficult for someone at Julio's level.
However, Roan was quite impressed with Lenna's awareness. Be it during the Lionesses fight or this time around against the Blood Rabbits, it seemed like she had some talent at sharing her attention everywhere. It was easy to see since her cultivation was a lot smaller than Julio's. Still, she hadn't been taken by surprise even once in this fight.

As for Malaka. Well, she was used to this kind of treatment anyway. Just how many times Roan made Malaka battle Stage One demon beasts on the nearby forests of the Varen Tribe? Those were dark memories, so Malaka didn't want to remember them, though.
Finally, the first Blood Rabbit fell. With that, a chain reaction began, and the others died one after another. In the end, the last three tried to run away, but they were quickly caught by Malaka and the others. Without their numbers' advantage, there wasn't much of a threat coming from them.
"Good. Although a certain someone wanted to offer his neck on a plate for the Blood Rabbits, the rest of the battle wasn't too bad. It seems like your teamwork is improving considerably. Let's go find the next group."
Julio felt embarrassed but didn't complain. After all, Roan had still saved his life just a moment ago.
Half a day passed since Rean's group entered the Inner Region, but they didn't find many difficulties.
Back on the base beside the Dalamu Sect's private demon forest, the teleport formation inside the build began to shine with Silver Light. Once the Light finally settled, a man appeared above it. That was obviously Elder Hulian. Together with him, there was a female cultivator. Her name was Tarshalia Wolkans, an Advantaged Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivator.
"Well, where are they?"
Hulian smiled before answering.
"Let's check the Pillar. It should be easy after that."
The two of them sent their Spiritual Sense into the ranking pillar and soon found Rean and Roan's location. They also had their own bracelets, so they quickly marked which one of the red points on it represented the twins' group.
Without giving any explanation, the two of them took flight and dashed into the forest. The other elders saw that and felt quite puzzled. However, since it was Hulian's time to organize the Sect Entrance Exam, they didn't mind it that much.
What took Rean's group hours to arrive, only took Hulian and Tarshalia around 15 minutes. Eventually, they could see Rean and Roan in the middle of the forest with their Spiritual Sense.
"I see the twins. All I need to check is the connection of their souls with their bodies, correct?"
Hulian nodded.
"Yes, please do."
The way Hulian thought to check whether Rean and Roan were reincarnations was quite simple. Those who reincarnate with their memories would not be well connected with their own bodies. That's because they would usually pick up a body that they felt to have the highest potential. That being said, they would enter the body of someone else's soul. In the end, the soul that was supposed to enter that body will go back into the Reincarnation Path once more to wait for a new chance.
Since that body was not supposed to be theirs, the connection with the reincarnations and their new bodies would be bellow average.
Usually, the average percentage of synchronization would be between 90 to 95%. However, an expert who kept memories for reincarnation would already be fortunate if he or she achieved 80%. After all, that wasn't supposed to be their bodies to start with.
Because of Hulian's request, Tarshalia already had an idea about what he wanted to verify. She looked at the twins as she began to draw a few Seals on the air. As those seal accumulated, spiritual energy started to rush at them.
"Well, let's see if they are 'new' or actually 'old' friends."

Toothpick
“Hello! My humble audience! I, the Bard of the North, am going to tell you a tale. Nothing new, nothing old. A story of a hero, some may say, others a poor boy who was hated by the world.” The storyteller paused as he waited, right timing was everything when telling a story. Pacing… Too slow and the audience became bored then left without tossing even the smallest of coins. If he spoke too fast and rushed the story. It would leave the audience confused and having no reason to be impressed. So like any good storyteller, the Bard has to do a balancing act of sorts. Not too slow, not too fast. Just perfectly in the middle. “In a shattered country in the south, a novice princeling has the ambition to mend a torn tapestry that is his birthplace. Struggling to fend off those who would usurp the throne in an unending civil war spanning centuries. A mercenary that left only death in his wake, unable to stave off the monotony and peace of life. He looks back at the path laden with bodies, wondering if it was all worth it. Wandering souls summoned by a madman, travel away from a wasteland in a foreign land, the first alone, the others as companions. A deity, ancient in her years, waiting to be freed from a duty she no longer enjoys. For all these people and their stories, none are the hero of this tale. No, the hero is not grand, not wise, not ready.. he was punished for nothing of his doing, who was an outcast that was unloved by many, including his father.” This was always the big reveal novices use to jump off into their story. He did not start here, instead, like any good fishermen, he set the bait and waited until the fish bit before pulling. As he saw the audience's eyes focus, he then started the backstory. The harness, that stopped the listeners from having metaphorical whiplash. The foreshadowing. “But that is not where the story starts. No, not even the hero's birth. Where the story begins, is the boredom of the deity, a deity many know of. She who hunts for the impossible, the guide for those who have lost the path, the Huntress of Mallon--” A small pause, a short breath. “--All old names for a single powerful being that has roamed the grounds of this continent longer than any line of kings or queens, lords or ladies. A being of worship for many an individual…” One last breath. And he began singing the first verse.
