Death… And Me Chapter 248 - Premeditated

Chapter 248 - Premeditated

Doren, who was doing his best to find an escape route, felt even more pressure after seeing his last remaining companion falling. Rean and Roan could even fight a Peak Stage Core Formation Realm for some time with Mirage a.s.sault on, let alone a Late Stage.

First, Doren resisted so far because he was a genius of his own sect. Second, he was a Wind Element user. He was proficient in his own Wind Movement Technique, one of the best elements for speed.

Nevertheless, Rean, Roan, and the four copies they created kept blocking Doren's path time and time again. Doren hoped that his companion would force at least one of them to go and help the girl, but who could have thought that she and the fat bird would win in the end?

Roan also noticed when Malaka gave a finis.h.i.+ng blow to the guy's head and nodded with a satisfied expression.

'It seems like Mia had been training her better than I thought. In that last second, I saw no hesitation in her movements.'

Rean also sighed in relief. He could feel that Malaka was in a terrible condition, but she would resist for some time still. That was enough time for him to go there and heal her up.

Rean and Roan then returned their attention to Doren and increased the pressure.

"Wait! I'll give you everything I have! Let me go!"

Roan snorted in response as he said

"Keep dreaming."

'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'

Rean didn't say anything as he also attacked. If they were not strong enough, they would be the ones on the ground now. Doren's group definitely had no intention of letting them go to start with.

'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

Their Mirages also used the same skills, attacking Doren from all sides. Finally, Doren wasn't able to hold back anymore. The injuries on his bodies were too severe for him to keep his performance up.

*Puchi!*

Finally, one of the Mirages' Stellar Piercer pa.s.sed through his chest. Doren's eyes opened wide as he looked at the hole in his chest. Although it missed his head, it was still a match-ending injury.

*cough.*

He vomited blood and kneeled on the ground, trying to not fall. Unfortunately for him, it was already over. He had no strength to move anymore. Knowing that begging would make no difference, he closed his eyes and waited for the final blow. However, that final blow that would take his life did not come as he thought. Instead, he felt a cold sensation on his neck. Something was faintly touching it.

He opened his eyes again, just to meet Roan's cold eyes, while the White Star pressed against his throat.

"Aren't you quite lucky? I have a few questions for you, so you still have a few moments to live."

As for Rean, he wasn't there anymore. The moment Doren gave up any resistance, he canceled the Death Style Fifth Form and rushed to Malaka's position. Kentucky was already there as well, making sure to watch for any danger that could come in Malaka's way.

Rean then looked at the pool of blood from Malaka herself and her ragged breath. At the same time, Rean could see the little bit of Light Element coming out of Malaka's body. Almost none was left. One must remember that Rean was also capable of using his First Form of the Life Style, Enhancement, on others. That being said, Rean and increased Malaka's combat power before the battle started. That's why she was able to match a Core Formation Realm cultivator with her Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Of course, Malaka was quite strong herself. It's just that her opponent turned out to be much stronger than ordinary Initial Stage Core Formation Realm cultivators. In the same way that Malaka could fight those about her realm, so did her opponent. If not for that, her battle wouldn't have been so desperate.

He immediately laid her on his lap and touched her injuries. Soon after, a burst of Light Element came from Rean's body and began to enter Malaka's injuries.

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!'

Kentucky looked at Malaka with some worry. Seeing that, Rean smiled and comforted him.

"It's okay. Malaka will feel weak for a while, but she isn't in danger anymore."

Although Kentucky couldn't understand words well, he could at least catch Rean's meaning.

*Chick!*

Kentucky then sat down on Rean's side and closed its eyes. Right after, faint ripples of Light Element began to gather on his body. Turns out that Kentucky began to heal his own injuries as well. Of course, he was far from being as good as Rean.

Back on Roan's side, he already started to ask his questions.

"So, why do I feel like you did not find us through coincidence?"

From what Rean said, Doren's group was already rus.h.i.+ng in their direction by the time he felt their Spiritual Sense. In a normal situation, the opponents would first pause to a.s.sess the situation with their Spiritual Sense. Only then would they decide whether to attack or defend. After all, they had to first check the cultivation levels of Rean's group.

"You have never had any intention of letting us go to start with, that much I can tell. You only asked for Spirit Stones to make us drop our guard. That would make it easier to catch us by surprise and prevent anyone from escaping. Speak, how did you find us? Why were you following our trace?"

Doren smiled bitterly after hearing that. He still had some hope after he heard that Roan had some questions. However, he didn't expect that this 'kid' would have seen through the entire scheme.

"If I tell the truth, will you let me go?"

Roan laughed coldly after hearing that.

"Of course not. However, I can at least give you a painless death. Believe me, you don't want to see what I'm capable of doing when I want some information."

Doren felt a chill on his back after he looked at Roan's expression.

Torture? It would be hard to find a single existence in this world better at it than Death himself.
