Death… And Me Chapter 504 - Changing Targets

Chapter 504 - Changing Targets

Wano didn't seem to mind the change, though. He was using the same strategy as always, pretending to be weaker before landing a finishing blow. The fact that his opponent had suddenly increased his power only meant that he would have to use his full power as well.
However, it was different for Rean and Roan, who were already using all their power. Wano understood that, so he sent them a Spiritual Sense message as he asked.
'Do you need help?'
Rean and Roan shook their heads as they replied.
'No. It would not be considered training if it was easy.'
The woman's body crackled with Lightning. Suddenly, she shot forward like an arrow in Rean's direction!
'Lightning Emperor Strike!'
Rean was taken aback by her speed and immediately tried to defend. However, her attack was faster than his defense, so she hit his body head-on!
*Kabrum!*
Rean's body was sent flying before it turned into specks of Light and Dark Energy. The woman couldn't help but feel impressed. She could swear that the clone was the real one. She had never left them out of her Spiritual Sense from start to finish and paid attention to the real bodies' positions. She really couldn't tell when they had changed place.
"Doesn't matter. I just have to get rid of all of you."
Her body flashed away as she headed in one of the twins' directions once more.
'Lightning Emperor Strike!'
However, Rean and Roan didn't panic, nor did they try to flee. Instead, they also shot forward in her direction. Just as they were about to clash, the twins also used their skills.
Light and Fire Element gathered around Rean and his clone's swords as they attacked together.
'Life Fire, White Stellar Explosion!'
Roan wasn't any slower. Threads of Spiritual Energy and Dark Element spread out of his body, covering an area several meters around his body. Soon after, Dark Element expanded from the threads.
'Death World!'
That was a skill he came up with after acquiring the Dark World skill back in the Capital's black market. He used his own comprehension of the Dark Element to change it into more than just a sight disturbing skill. Anyone inside his Death World would be slowly corroded by the Dark Element and Yin Energy power. Of course, the thing about obstructing one's sight still worked.
Naturally, Roan didn't stop there and used his own offensive skill to help Rean. His clones did the same thing as well.
'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'
Sure enough, some of the Lightning Emperor Strike's power was affected by Death World. Right after that, Rean and Roan's attacks clashed against the woman.
*Boom!*
Her attack had a wide range of effect, so even the several slashes from Roan's attack were barred by that. Rean's attacks were done with pure power in mind, so they carried the strongest destructive power between the twins' offensive.
Both sides were then blasted back by the shockwave of the clash. Neither of them could stop their bodies for several tens of meters.
The woman then looked at Rean and Roan with her eyes open wide.
'Impossible! I'm as strong as a Late Core and Soul Fusion Realm now. Even if they're working together, how can they stop my attack?'
She wasn't the only one. Wano and Zuo even stopped their combat for a second, thanks to that. Although the Death World obstructed their sight, it wasn't the same for Spiritual Energy. They could tell what happened during that moment.
'Where did these boys come from?'
'Hehe. These twins are far more interesting than the demon bird. To think that their combined attack can reach such power. And here I was, thinking that I would need to save their asses.'
Zuo quickly recovered from his dismay before sending the woman a Spiritual Sense Message.
'Pata, the black and white kids aren't the only enemies here!'
Obviously, Pata was the woman's name. As soon as she heard that, her eyes shone. The twins could protect themselves, but they couldn't protect the girls on the other side.
'Divine Lightning Path!'
Her body burst with Lightning once again before she used her movement technique. Sure enough, she shot forward in Calina and Malaka's direction.
Rean and Roan understood what she was trying to do, so they also went after her. However, they needed to join hands to resist Pata's strike. When it came to speed alone, they couldn't surpass her speed.
Wano's eyes narrowed as soon as he saw that.
'Not good. The twins won't make it in time.'
Wano was just about to change target when all of a sudden, he received a Spiritual Sense message from Roan.
'No need. I didn't train the two girls so that they would become cannon fodder.'
Calina and Malaka's Spiritual Sense had been spread all along. They knew that they were the weakest members of the group, so they had always been prepared to be targeted. The moment Pata changed direction, the two already reacted accordingly.
Immediately, the two used their own movement skills to move away from their opponents. The guys attacking then noticed that and tried to pursue them, but Kentucky hardened his feathers and scales before blocking the two. It would only last for a second, but that was enough.
Pata looked at that and snorted.
"Trying to run away? Then, don't blame me for taking the bird down first."
Kentucky was even stronger than the girls, so it wasn't a bad trade-off to get rid of it first before the girls.
Lightning Element came forth as Pata used the moment Kentucky was busy blocking the Core Formation Realm guys to land a decisive blow.
'Wrath of the Thunder God!'
The attack was even stronger than the one she used against the twins. It also used a lot more energy and needed time to charge. However, the distance between her and Kentucky gave her the time necessary to channel that attack.
"Evil beast, die!"
However, it was at that moment that Malaka appeared in front of her.
"What?!"
She was sure that the two girls had retreated just a second ago. How come one of them appeared in front of her right now?
The truth was that Malaka and Calina didn't intend to retreat, to begin with. Since Calina and Malaka were much closer to Kentucky, they obviously came back faster than the enemy. They only moved like that to make Pata lose her focus on them. Sure enough, she focused her full power on Kentucky, which gave the two girls the opening they wanted.
'Death Water Style, Second Form, Spinning Dragon Tails!'
Once again, Malaka used the attack that could use the opponent's power against them. Nevertheless, that strike wasn't something that Malaka could possibly revert on her own, nor did she plan to do it.
'Glacial Armor!'
Calina touched Malaka's back as a powerful wave of cold energy enveloped her body, creating a layer of ice armor around Malaka's body made of Ice and Yin Energy. The armor wouldn't last more than a second or two due to its structure and Calina's cultivation, but that was enough.
Calina and Malaka used all the Spiritual and Yin Energy possible in that single moment. Malaka and Calina's sudden appearance disrupted Pata's attack before it reached full power as well. And with that, the two sides clashed.
