Death… And Me Chapter 193 - Heaven's Might Water

Chapter 193 - Heaven's Might Water

Right after, two Earth Pillars came at Rean and Roan. Fortunately, the Red Color of Killing Intent warned them in advance. They immediately shifted their attack and aimed at the two Earth Pillars. The pillars were them severed in three parts, quickly falling on the ground. Still, that gave Okrin enough time to jump away from their encirclement.
It was then that another man appeared.
Okrin looked at the newcomer and couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
"Elder Buran!"
Buran was the same one who gave Okrin the order to hunt Rean and Roan's group.
"I knew something was fishy—two super-powered kids appearing out of nowhere. My gut feeling kept telling me that something was going to happen. Sure enough, Okrin, all your subordinates died, and you were just a second away from following them."
Okrin quickly bowed as he apologized.
"I'm sorry, Elder Buran. But I'm really weaker than any of the two. When they gathered together, I was as good as dead already."
Buran shook his head.
"It's okay. I was watching the battle from the moment you used your Call of the Wind. It wasn't your fault. I gave you a mission that you had no chance of completing, that's all. Step back. You have almost no Spiritual Energy remaining."
Elder Buran then looked at Rean and Roan before asking.
"Who are you? I'm sure you are not part of the Sky Piercing Sect. After all, there is no way we wouldn't know about two geniuses of your caliber appearing there. Not to mention that your Elemental Affinities are outside the five main elements range. That's one more reason that you are not that sibling's fellow disciples."
Roan smiled after hearing that.
"Indeed. We are not part of the Sky Piercing Sect. We are only using these siblings as a beacon to attract your sect's people to attack us. That way, we can gain combat experience."
Buran nodded.
"I see... In that case, why don't you help our sect instead? I can offer a good payment as long as you kill those siblings behind you."
Lana and Westren began to sweat. If the twins decided to change targets, they would be dead for sure.
However, Rean laughed out loud after hearing that.
"Hahaha! Payment? I'm sorry to throw it at your face, but we probably have more Spirit Stones than you. Besides, a Late-Stage Core Formation Realm target just appeared in front of us. How could we let such a chance to pass? You will be a perfect challenge for us."
Buran was taken aback. He thought that the twins would definitely try to run after seeing his cultivation. However, it seemed more like they wanted to fight him. Still, he didn't give up.
"Don't be so fast to refuse me. Our Heaven's Might Sect has more things than just Spirit Stones. For example, we can give you some Heaven's Might Water, which increases the foundation sturdiness. You can ask these two disciples of the Sky Piercing Sect about it if you don't know about it."
Rean and Roan were taken aback. Having breakthroughs is what they need the most at the moment. Suppose that Heaven's Might Water can really increase the foundation's sturdiness. In that case, that also means they will have an easier time stabilizing it.
Rean and Roan then looked at Westren and Lana, waiting to hear their answers.
The siblings knew that lying would be useless. After all, the Heaven's Might Sect name was created due to this water. As long as they search a little, they will find out that Buran wasn't lying. Instead, if they lie, they will just make Rean and Roan turn against their sect.
"It's true, the Heaven's Might Sect has a pond that accumulates the five elements from heaven and earth. Those who drink its water can increase the foundation's sturdiness, so their sect sees it as one of their greatest treasures. However, it only works up to the Core Formation Realm Peak Stage. After one enters the Core and Soul Fusion Realm, that water loses its effect."
Buran then laughed out loud.
"So what? By then, our foundations will already be much stronger than others. Wouldn't that be perfect? There are very few alchemists' pills that can achieve such a great effect. Not to mention that they are really expensive. As long as you put hard work into the sect's missions and duties, you are entitled to some Heaven's Might Water."
Buran continued.
"As you know, we are in a war at the moment. So the sect has taken out a lot of the Heaven's Might Water for those who contribute the most. With your strength and the fact that others would underestimate you because of your age, you can no doubt make a killing with our reward system."
Roan then asked something else.
"Could it be that you also have this water with you?"
Buran didn't find the question weird. Since the twins didn't know about Heaven's Might Water, they obviously wanted to confirm if it was real.
"Sure. I'll pass you a few drops. It's not enough to make any difference, but you can definitely verify its effectiveness."
Buran then took three bottles out. One had Heaven's Might Water while the other two were empty. He then poured three drops in each bottle and threw them at Rean and Roan.
The twins quickly grabbed the bottles. Then, they pretended to verify the contents. However, they were, in fact, doing something else.
'Sister Orb, how is it?'
[Wait a minute...]
[Done. I only checked if there were any detrimental effects or not. I still don't what it does either. However, I can tell that it won't do anything bad to your bodies or foundations.]
Rean and Roan nodded.
'That's more than enough.'
Finally, they opened the bottles and drunk the content inside. Sure enough, they felt some kind of energy rushing into their Dantians. However, they quickly noticed a problem. Like the siblings mentioned, this water was made in the pond that gathered the five main elements. The problem was that both Rean and Roan didn't have much affinity with any of the other Five Elements. Because of that, the effect of the water was reduced by a lot.
Of course, they could tell that it still worked nonetheless.
Westren and Lana looked at the twins nervously. After all, they didn't know which decision those two would make.
"Good, it really works, as you said."
Buran smiled after hearing that. However, just as he was about to continue to talk, the twins pointed their swords at him.
"Now then, since you already have so much of it with you, we might as well take our rewards earlier."
Everyone was taken aback, including Westren and Lana. Even they thought that Rean and Roan would end up selecting Buran's side.
Buran, of course, felt like he was played with, which enraged him.
"Hmph! I gave you a chance, but you failed to grasp it. Since that is the case, don't complain later when I send you to the next world."
Elder Buran's body immediately gathered Spiritual Energy and Earth Element. Right after, a layer of rock seemed to gather over his skin.
'Earth Armor!'
Without wasting any more time, Buran charged at the twins.
"Fast!"
Rean and Roan were taken aback. Even though Buran was an Earth Element user, his speed didn't lose to Okrin at all. In fact, he was even slightly faster!
Knowing that things got dangerous, Rean and Roan also didn't hold back.
'Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!'
'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!'
