《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Red finished charging his attack before he shot forward with greater speed! Not only that, but his attack power more than doubled now that he was using golden lightning. Without a doubt, the twins definitely couldn't stop such an attack with their current difference in cultivation.
Red charged into the Death World. The lightning around his body and wings was so intense that even Roan's Death World was illuminated where Red passed by. In a flash, Red had already reached the point where the Spiritual Energy Field's Core was located. However...
"What?!"
Suddenly, Red's advance stopped. It wasn't because someone tried to stop him. No, the one who did his best to halt his advancement was Red himself. That's because the Spiritual Energy Field's core was covered. In the end, Red's expression turned ugly as he cursed, "You're despicable!"
Rean's voice echoed from the Death World. "Hahaha! Despicable or not, the fact still stands that you stopped, right?" Rean was feeling very pleased with himself. "If you want to destroy the core, you'll have to destroy these little guys as well. Now then. Can you do that?"
Red felt like crying after hearing that. That's because Rean covered the core with...carrots! Not only that, but he also used his Spiritual Energy to make a barrier around them. If Red tried to take them away, the barrier would explode, destroying the carrots as well. "Hm-hmph! Do you think I won't attack just because you put some carrots there? I was just surprised by the view. That's why I stopped my assault. There's no way I would give up my mission just because there are a few carrots between me and my objective. I can simply head back to your Freedom Sect and take the ones there."

"Is that so?" Rean asked in response with a smile on his face. "Then, so be it. By all means, go ahead and attack. Hahaha!" Rean was absolutely sure that Red wouldn't attack. He and Red talked a lot during the Formations classes. He used the carrots to control Red many, many times, and it always worked. Red simply couldn't resist the appeal of a beautiful carrot.
Of course, this was all but a big gamble. Rean and Roan knew that they couldn't stop Red's attack with their actual strength. It was to the point that Roan had to agree with Rean's idea, even if it sounded ridiculous. Others couldn't see it because of the Death World, but Roan looked really surprised that such bullshit worked. 'It's like Kentucky when it comes to Heaven-level ores. He simply can't resist it. Could it be that every Demon Beast has a weakness like that?'
Roan then looked at Red's contorting expression and thought about Kentucky before coming to a conclusion. 'Nope. They're just idiots.'
Red's lightning then began to spread around his body again...and that was pretty much it. As much as he steeled his resolve, Red simply couldn't make his way forward. He couldn't destroy the carrots even if he could get more of them later. He loved them way too much. "Fuck it! I just need to kill you two and then retrieve the carrots. It's that simple!"
Red's direction suddenly changed as he charged into the Death World. One must remember that although Spiritual Sense was restricted, it wasn't completely useless. Red could also see a few meters around him. Not to mention that his golden lightning was bright enough to illuminate his surroundings while inside Death World. That's how he noticed the carrots in time.

In any case, the Death World was enormous. Rean and Roan's Spiritual Senses couldn't see much, just like Red. However, their vision was definitely not an issue. Unlike Red, the twins could see everything inside the Death World.
'Death Style, Second Movement Form, Shadow Air!'
Inside the Death World, Shadow Air was the ultimate movement technique. It might not be faster than Red's actual speed, but it was definitely good enough to avoid any of Red's charges. Not to mention that Rean and Roan could counterattack every time Red passed by.
'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'
'Life Fire, Flame Emperor Slash!'
'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'
'Death Style...'
Red charged everywhere inside the Death World. However, he couldn't pinpoint the twins' location. He tried to attack the places where the attacks came from with melee and ranged Golden Lightning skills. Unfortunately for him, the twins were always faster. And just like that, Red's body began to accrue more and more injuries. Red had a very good defense due to his scales. Though it was not as good as Kentucky's, it was not too far behind. However, we're talking about Rean and Roan using Rean's Black and White Stars. If they could even injure Kentucky, then let alone Red.
*Arrrgh!*
Suddenly, Red charged out of Roan's Death World as his blood dripped nonstop. One must not forget that Roan's Dark Element could also destroy life force. It made the injuries even worse, forcing Red to retreat to drive that destructive power out of his body. Eventually, he sighed in relief as he used his Spiritual Energy to stop the bleeding.
"Are you really not going to let me destroy the Spiritual Energy Field?" Red asked from a distance.
Surprisingly, Roan's answer wasn't a straightforward denial, saying in response, "That depends. You still haven't told us why you want to destroy it. As a demon beast, you should want to help others. We don't understand why you're siding with the Zasfins since they tried to take control over the demon beasts. Are you a masochist who likes to be bullied?"
Red showed a puzzled expression as he thought, 'What's a masochist?' However, he quickly shook his head and put these thoughts behind as he replied, "What difference does it make?"
Roan shrugged his shoulders...it's just that Red couldn't see. "Well, depending on your answer, we wouldn't mind helping you. The entire situation is still kind of a blur for us. There must be a reason behind your actions, right?"
Red took a deep breath after hearing Roan's words. Attacking would be useless since Spiritual Sense is being restricted. He needed to figure out another way to do so. "Fine, I'll tell you why I'm siding with the Zasfins."

The Queen's Guard
Friedrich Schreiner is a proud gefreiter of the Queen's Guard, 2nd Company: the finest fighting infantry on the continent (barring the Temple Guard; but please don't bring that up). Service is honourable but, with the Empire on a peacetime footing, terribly boring. Affairs take a dramatic turn for the worse when a mysterious invader uses a forgotten and taboo magical means to breach the capital, plunging the nation into chaos and endangering the royal family. With events spiraling out of control, Friedrich is entrusted with a critical mission. Will hot lead, cold steel, and his determination be enough to see him through? The Queen's Guard is what I'm calling a black powder fantasy story: it's set in a loose equivalent of the early 18th century (plus or minus a few pieces I decided I wanted or didn't want). Magic exists, but not in a spell-slinging sort of way: it's Earth-shaking undertakings or minor enchantments forged in by master craftsmen, the grand working of a secretive cabal or a slight nudge to the course of a blow. I, the eternal optimist, have a full trilogy in mind. The first book is The Prince's Arquebusier, hence the cover and the title disagreeing! This is my shot at 2021's NaNoWriMo and RR Writathon! I've hitherto been terrible at writing long-form fiction, so this is an effort to break out of that by having some accountability in being supposed to post chapters regularly. Here's hoping it works! I have an outline, but not too much detail. I'll do my best to avoid continuity errors, doing anything glaringly stupid, or otherwise fluffing my lines, but I can't make any promises on that. Please do let me know any feedback! Always happy to improve. [participant in the Nov 2021 Royal Road Writathon challenge]
