Death… And Me Chapter 2775: Back To Work

Chapter 2775: Back To Work

The fact that Rean had powerful healing skills wasn't a secret anymore at this point. But no one thought it to be this outrageous. Sure, someone like Sophia could possibly reconnect a head with her powerful Light Element, but even she couldn't make it as easy as Rean did. Soul Gem then looked at Leandro with a dark expression on his face. "It was you, wasn't it?" "Hmph!" Leandro snorted in response. "Believe me. Nothing would have made me more satisfied than to have cut your head myself! Too bad I do not have the capability right now. Whatever hit you came out of nowhere. Even I couldn't feel its approach."
"He isn't lying," Kafan confirmed. "Gragatou, Black Locust, and I were really close to you, and even we didn't notice it before that blade appeared. Whoever attacked you is definitely much stronger than any of us."
Soul Gem was taken aback. He quickly looked at Leandro, who nodded back at him. "You are thinking the same thing as me. It could only be one of them."
"One of what?" Black Locust asked in a frigid manner. He didn't like the idea of an invisible blade looming on his head at all.
"The rest of you probably thought about it already. What kind of expert could pass by your senses and attack under your nose? Only a Celestial Realm expert could do such a thing," Soul Gem explained.
"So they truly exist..." Gragatou sighed as he looked up. So far, no one was really capable of proving the Celestial Realm existed. They believed it, but without an example, no one could say it for certain.
Soul Gem then noticed that a barrier of Spatial Power and Laws was surrounding him. Not only that, there were other barriers made of other elements and laws. All of them were the Semi- Celestials' doings. "Are you using it to feel the approach of another attack?"
Kafan nodded. "Obviously. We can't simply stay unguarded."
Leandro wasn't doing the same, though. "You can all stop already. Unless there are two Celestial Realm experts waiting outside, a new attack won't come anytime soon."
"How come?" Sophia asked.
"Because Celestial Realm experts can't enter most Universes," Soul Gem was the one to answer. "For the guy to send an attack into this Universe no doubt spent most of his energy. Although he won't lose the comprehension of laws like Semi-Celestials do, he will still feel weak for a few days. After all, he had to push against an entire Universe's rejecting force to get the attack to reach me."
The Semi-Celesitals felt a chill on their backs. "He had to push against... an entire Universe's rejecting force..." None of them could even dream of doing such a thing, and the guy didn't lose any of his comprehension of laws.
"In any case, there might be two Celestials out there, so I will keep my own barrier up. I don't know if it is of any help, but I feel a little more confident that way," Black Locust said, not taking any chances.
"It is extremely unlikely that more than one came," Leandro added. "Celestial Realm experts are in one of the strongest cultivation realms that exist. They aren't dispatched easily, even if it is to acquire a Chaos Origin Source. It was already very unlikely that one of them would come, but he did."
One one cared and kept their own protections. "That was how you knew the Universe when you first arrived here? How has it been, uh? Is it still the same outside there? Can you truly believe that?"
Leandro narrowed his own protections. He knew how hard it was for a Celestial Realm expert to appear. But then again, he couldn't deny the possibility their words were correct. "Fine, do as you wish."
Gragatou turned his attention back to Soul Gem. "Your equipment became rubble with that attack. Can you still take down the Grape Vortex?"
Soul, who was being helped by Rean's Light Element to heal his soul, nodded. "It's fine. The complicated thing would be to remake all those smaller devices. There are just too many of them. But the control unity is only one piece, even though it does have many Circuitry Formation Runes and other trinkets."
"How long until you rebuild a new one?" Romario asked. He knew about Circuitry Formations, so he could help.
Soul Gem gathered the broken parts and took a quick look. "Two days should be enough. Just keep everyone in their positions. Also... Rean, you did the right thing."
Rean smiled. "Light Element is very good when it comes to hiding."
At the moment, Rean was using both his Light and Divine Sense Bending skills. He unleashed them even before he began to heal Soul Gem back to life. After all, he didn't know if more attacks would come, so he first just hid everything near Soul Gem's body and was still doing so
now.
Soul Gem looked at Romario. He heard from Rean through Divine Sense about his real identity. "Rean said I could trust in your abilities, Trulin. Give me a hand. It will be faster with your knowledge and cultivation."
"I will also stay close and keep my barrier of dark laws," said Kafan. "I don't know if the guy outside noticed Soul Gem came back to life or not. But if he did, I want to increase the chances of keeping Soul Gem safe."
"I'll help," Gragatou also kept his own barrier.
"Hmph!" Black Locust followed suit.
The rest of the Semi-Celestials were told to return to their positions and recollect all the small devices. The invaders watching from outside might think they couldn't do it anymore.
They weren't wrong. Outside, Flavio watched as the hundreds of thousands of small triangular devices were taken back by their users. That made him relax a little. Still, the area where Soul Gem died was completely empty on the screens. "Hmph! They are so afraid of dying they are hiding themselves now. It won't be long before they perish."
"Sir, wouldn't someone else know how to do the same thing?" One of Flavio's subordinates asked. "That guy sir killed might not be the only one. Perhaps we can send some troops to check it, just in case."
"No need," Flavio shook his head. "Look at this Universe. It is already getting very unstable. The reports talked about how it was split into two sides, which explains why the Grape Vortex is working this fast. I don't want to risk losing our troops because of a miscalculation. Besides, I only killed the guy because I had a bad feeling. It didn't mean he could truly do anything to the Grape Vortex."
"Understood." The subordinate nodded and didn't speak anymore.
