Death… And Me

Chapter 1334 - Escaping Plan



Chapter 1334 – Escaping Plan

*Smack!*

*Ouch!*

Kentucky looked at Roan with an angry expression, complaining, “Why did you hit me?”

“Don’t you know the answer to that already?” Roan asked back. “If you don’t stop the bullshit right now, you better be prepared for a lot more pain.”

Hurio couldn’t help but ask Rean after that, “Is your demon beast hiding its real cultivation? After all, there are also a few Transition Realm demon beasts that enter the Lost Star Realm. They obviously have their human forms and intelligence.”

Hurio was right. Along their way to the depths of the Lost Star Realm and especially in the middle of the crowd outside, Rean and Roan identified a few Transition Realm demon beasts. They were mostly in their human forms, but their demonic aura was very easy to make out among the group.

Rean understood why Hurio asked that, saying, “You think it would be a lot safer if Kentucky was a Transition Realm demon beast, right?”

Hurio scratched the back of his head, showing that Rean hit the bullseye. “Well, I won’t deny that it would make me feel better.”

However, Rean immediately shook his head. “Unfortunately, that’s not the case. You’ve already probably guessed that we came from outside Lanqueas Continent. It just so happens that demon beasts in our home continent gain sentience a lot earlier than they do here. Don’t ask me why. I was as surprised as you when I found out that demon beasts actually needed to reach the Transition Realm to be able to speak.” Since he had already used this excuse so many times, he might as well use it again.

“Is there really such a place?” Hurio didn’t know whether it was true or not. But then again, he knew very little about what was outside of Lanqueas Continent.

Rean then continued, “With that said, Kentucky really is a Peak Stage Seven Demon Beast. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Hurio sighed in disappointment after that. “It’s fine. When I signed the contract with the two of you, I didn’t expect us to have a Transition Realm helper anyway.” He then went back to the previous topic as he asked the two, “So, is it okay if I bring her with me? At the very least, I know that she won’t go after my sister and the others, so I need to stay with her.”

Roan glanced at Hurio after hearing that, telling him, “First of all, your sister already said that only she and Lamanto know where they’re going. Even if you convince Lilia to follow you after your sister, you wouldn’t even know where to start.”

“Does that mean you don’t mind if I keep her close by?” Hurio asked in response.

Rean shrugged his shoulders, saying, “We will take your word for it. If something wrong happens, we’ll keep the same rules as before. We won’t help you if this puts us in danger. You will have to take care of her yourself.”

Kentucky couldn’t help but comment, “I’ll protect her, though.”

Rean and Roan couldn’t care less. “We aren’t your masters or anything. You’re free to do whatever you want as long as you don’t drag us into this mess.”

Kentucky nodded in response before he looked at Hurio. “That’s how it will work, then.”

Hurio obviously had nothing against it. “Great! Did you hear that, Li-” It was then that a strange scene entered his eyes as he turned to look at Lilia. “Er… what are you doing?”

At some point, Lilia laid with her chest on Kentucky’s back and hugged his fluffy feathers. It looked like she was having the time of her life! “He’s so fluffy and cute. I just can’t resist.”

Kentucky, the womanizer, had struck again. “Hehe! Your grandfather here is the dream of every single female in this Realm of Gods. It’s only natural that she succumbed to my charms.”

Hurio’s mouth twitched after hearing that. If not for the fact that Kentucky was a demon beast, he would have felt betrayed for real. Then again, he was feeling a little bit betrayed already. “Ahem… control yourself, woman.”

Only then did Lilia sit up again, feeling a little embarrassed. “So-sorry…” Still, the eagerness in her eyes for Kentucky was obvious for everyone to see.

Of course, there was a reason for Rean and Roan to accept this weird arrangement, Hurio’s tablet that allowed him to detect Fallen Light Star Fragments. With that, Rean took the opportunity to ask him. “Alright, Hurio. We’ll do it like this. I will travel with Kentucky around ten kilometers apart from you. Roan will follow you on the ground while you two check the tablet. That way, we can use your tablet and my Elemental Affinity to cover a bigger area while we move.”

Roan didn’t mind that. In fact, he wanted to keep an eye on that tablet from Hurio to make sure Hurio was staying true to his words. After all, nothing in the contract stated that one couldn’t pretend to have found nothing even though one actually did.

Hurio didn’t mind that either. “Sure. However, we literally just entered the depths of the Lost Star Realm. We should head a bit deeper for a few extra months before we start looking for the fragments.”

Rean had no problem with that. “That’s good for me.”

Lilia then mentioned another point. “What will we do if another one of those waves appear? We’re locked here, you know?”

Rean replied, “All we can tell at the moment is that the wave doesn’t move that quickly. From what we saw, it’s as fast as an average Stage Six Flying Demon Beast. We can simply jump on Kentucky and flee from that since Kentucky’s normal speed is much faster.”

“But doesn’t it cover the entire extent of the depths of the Lost Star Realm?” Lilia could not help but ask in response. “We would flee until we arrive at the barrier or at the end of the Lost Star Realm and die regardless.”

“Do you have a better option?” Roan asked her straight back. Well, in fact, the twins wanted to open a very, very big distance from it. They wanted to go far enough from it so that the system wouldn’t detect it. After that, they would enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and just wait for it to pass.. Simple as that.
