《Death… And Me》Death... And Me
Advertisement
The moment those words came out, Rean's Light and Spiritual Sense Bending Skills enveloped him, Roan, and Kentucky. Following that, the three of them reappeared close to the formation where Roan's clone was located. Naturally, Roan left it there. It's just that he stopped giving it energy, so it would disappear soon. Nevertheless, that was more than enough.
Kentucky's wings, which were already opened, suddenly flapped at a ridiculously high speed. It was so strong that an enormous gale was left behind as his body shot forward. If Roan hadn't taken the kids around them into the Dimensional Realm as soon as they appeared there, Kentucky's action would have sent them flying.
*vup, vup, vup, vup...*
In less than a second, around ten kids appeared in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. They didn't even have the time to notice what happened as Rean's group flew in the direction of the entrance.
*Boom!*
One more second had passed, and a sonic boom reverberated behind Kentucky's wings. Kentucky had already surpassed the speed of sound! That didn't matter, though. After all, Kentucky was traveling faster than sound, so those in front didn't know what was happening while the others behind became disorientated by the explosion of sound itself. A sonic boom was extremely loud, making all the low-level Zasfins behind them deaf as blood came out of their ears.
Rean and Roan were focused on their own jobs, but they still had to admit as they simultaneously thought, 'We really can't beat Kentucky when it comes to flying speed.'
Of course, the high-level Zasfins in the place noticed the disappearance of the human kids as the sound reached their ears. Nevertheless, their Spiritual Sense couldn't see anything...though with one exception. The Saint Realm Guards! Only their Spiritual Sense had enough power to pierce through Rean's Spiritual Sense bending skill.
"What?!"
"What is that?"
"Enemy attack? It can't be!"
One after another watched with their Spiritual Senses as Kentucky passed by them in a flash. Fortunately, everything played as their group imagined. The Soul Rulers hadn't been challenged for way too long. That being said, even the Saint Realm experts were confused when they saw that, not believing that someone would really be trying something against them. That delay in their reaction was more than enough for Kentucky to disappear in the distance.
Of course, a few seconds later, they finally understood that it wasn't a joke! "Enemy attack, enemy attack! Call the ancestors! Someone's stealing all the human kids!"
"That doesn't make sense! Why aren't the Ancestors here yet? They should have already noticed what's happening here with their Spiritual Senses!"

"How would I know? Stop wasting time and contact them directly!"
"Everyone else, let's go after them!"
In this short timeframe, Kentucky had already covered more than half of the distance. Nevertheless, he didn't slow down even one bit. His eyes were sharp as he looked at all the kids he passed by, disappearing one after another. Most of them were little girls, with very few exceptions for boys. Naturally, that made Kentucky's resolve even stronger. After all, the perverted bird loved women.
Everything was going according to the plan when out of nowhere, Rean felt a new Spiritual Sense slamming against his Spiritual Sense Bending Technique. "Shit!"
Naturally, the swap between Spiritual Senses of the ancestors happened faster than they hoped for, so their actions were immediately seen.
"Who dares to cause trouble in the Soul Rulers' territory?!" a voice said as loud as thunder, making the underground tunnel tremble with its power.
"We have company."
Spiritual Energy filled the entire tunnel, suppressing Kentucky, Rean, and Roan almost immediately.
*Argh!*
*Boom!*
Kentucky immediately fell to the ground like a meteor together with the twins. There were still another 5 or so kilometers left until they reached the entrance. Unfortunately, the twins couldn't reach the kids there since it was too far from them.
Roan didn't waste time panicking, shouting, 'Sister Orb!'
[You got it!] Sister Orb immediately connected to all the Bloodline Trial Control Formations and the Soul Stone Formation. As soon as she did that, she messed up with the runes Rean indicated, creating a chain reaction that made the Spiritual Energy in the formations go haywire.
All the formations began to gather the Spiritual Energy around them, charging the remaining runes nonstop. Soon, they began to explode one after another.
"What?!" The ancestor on watch this time had his eyes widened. He was already making his way to where Rean's group was while keeping up his Spiritual Energy Pressure. However, when he saw that, he had to immediately change his plans. Rean's group didn't matter anymore, only the formations. After all, the number of materials necessary to rebuild them would be astronomical.
In an instant, his Spiritual Sense spread back to the other ancestors' dwellings, calling them for backup as he said, "Come out, now! The entire place is a mess!"
Rean felt several other Spiritual Senses at the same level as the guy who stopped them. However, the Spiritual Energy Pressure disappeared at the same time. Sure enough, no one could care about Rean, Roan, and Kentucky at the moment. Well, that was only in the ancestors' case. As for the Saint Realm and below experts in the tunnel, they were still after their group.

"Kentucky, go!"
*Creeee!* 'On it!'
Kentucky's wings, now free from being held, flapped once again, shooting his body through the air once more. Rean and Roan also held onto his back as they once again started to send the kids into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.
"Wait right there!" Unfortunately, the Saint Realm experts who were left behind quickly caught up to them. After all, they stopped for a few seconds whether they wanted or not to due to the ancestor of the Soul Rulers.
Rean immediately stopped using his Spiritual and Light Bending skills as he stood up on Kentucky's back, saying, "Kentucky, keep going. Roan and I will hold them back while Sister Orb grabs everyone."
*Creeee!* 'Alright! Hold tight!' Now that Rean wasn't concealing them anymore, Kentucky's body began to burn with white and black flames. His speed, which was already frightening, increased even more. However, those flames caused no damage to Rean and Roan since they also had Light and Dark Elements affinities.
The Saint Realm experts behind were taken aback by Kentucky's speed. They could totally tell that Kentucky was still in the Initial Stage Five Level. However, the speed he displayed was definitely equivalent to Stage Six Demon Beasts...very fast ones at that!
"Hmph! Do you think that's enough?!" Of course, the guys pursuing them were Saint Realm experts, so they were still faster.
Rean and Roan smiled in response, ignoring the guy's words as Light and Dark Elements gathered around their swords. Those elements, which usually were kept in harmony by the twins, suddenly lost it. Chaos was thrown into the mix as the energy in the area had intensified by several times.
'Death Style, Sixth Form, Destroyer!'
An attack that the twins haven't used in a very long time. It needed time to gather energy, which usually wasn't possible during the heat of the battle. However, with Kentucky's speed and the initial advantage, they had all the time necessary.
They didn't aim at the Saint Realm experts approaching from behind, though. Instead, they aimed it at the ceiling of the cave and released the attack!
Destroyer was a skill Roan created to deal with Demon Beasts who had very strong defenses. Now that the twins were in the Nascent Soul Realm, one could already imagine just how much stronger they were. Not only that, neither Rean nor Roan held back with their attack. Because of that, their White and Dark Star Swords could not hold the power of the chaos of Light and Dark, Yin and Yang.
*Boom!*
An enormous explosion of white and dark colors spread out, leaving a shockwave that increased Kentucky's speed even more. As for the Saint Realm Zasfins behind, they were forced back by it. Not to mention that the tunnel immediately crumbled in front of them, so they couldn't go forward.
"Fuck!"
Without any other choice, they could only start to excavate their way forward.
As for Rean's group...
*Crack, crack, crack... shatter!*
Rean looked with a hint of sadness at how his White and Dark Stars broke apart. In the end, it was already time for him to work on Heaven-level Equipment. Using Earth Peak-level Equipment on destructive energy like what Destroyer manifested was too much for them to handle. A cultivator with a piece of equipment below their cultivation level would usually try to protect it with their Spiritual Energy and Elements. However, Rean and Roan couldn't do that, afraid that there wouldn't be enough power to block those Saint Realm experts.
'Sigh... whatever. I can finally start working on Heaven-level Equipment after we're done with this,' Rean thought as he put those thoughts behind.
Although Sister Orb began the sequence to make those formations explode, she obviously started with the formations that Rean and Roan left behind. That gave them enough time to reach the entrance of the tunnel where most of the Zasfins were keeping guard. There were five Saint Realm and even one Elemental Transformation Realm Zasfin there, waiting for them.
In the end, they saw that the twins could only escape through this passage, so they didn't try to stop them on the way but mounted their ambush here.
"Some puny humans and a chicken dared to cause trouble here. Kneel down and accept your death!" the Elemental Transformation Realm Zasfin said as he pressured Rean and Roan with his Spiritual Energy.
However, Rean and Roan just laughed at that sight. They got close enough to the last kid on the line, who disappeared right after before shouting, "Hahaha! Until we meet again, idiots!"
Soon after that, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky disappeared as well, leaving the Zasfins at a loss for words with that scene. Unfortunately for them, that was only the start of their problem. Now that Rean and Roan were gone, Sister Orb didn't hold back as she said.
[It's fireworks time!]

My Poetry
So I think some of you know that I already write poetry. Most of my poetry is free verse. I thought why not go ahead and just make a poetry book in here. Some of this is poetry I've already written, others are brand new. God I'm really nervous about this, I don't usually share my poetry.
