Death... and me

Chapter 1490 – Havek

Well, it turns out that there were still a few flaws in it. In fact, Roan didn’t think he could eliminate all of them. Sure, he had made many cultivation techniques in the past. However, he had never been able to create something as perfect as the system’s Yin Yang Cultivation Technique. Let alone in Magali’s case, where her meridians were all over the place.

While Magali tried the technique, Roan used his Divine Sense and Energy to verify her body. At the same time, he sent what he saw to Rean as the twins worked together to improve the technique. Of course, using Rean’s knowledge of the body and Roan’s knowledge of techniques as always. 

Correcting the technique took a few minutes, but every try also took time. It wasn’t before several hours later that Magali felt no side effects with it. “This is great! It’s so smooth now!”

Roan sighed in relief after that. “That’s good, then. It’s quite unfortunate this job took way longer than I wished.”

Sanga and Mavo’s mouths twitched after hearing that. They were expecting such a thing to take weeks to be finished, and Roan was complaining he finished in a few hours. Of course, the important thing here was that he succeeded. 

“Thank you, Roan. Here, this is your payment.” “Sanga then passed the Divine Stones to Roan. In fact, she gave him fifteen Rank Two Divine Stones instead of ten.

Roan looked at that and said, “This is more than the agreement.”

“Just take it,” Mavo also agreed with Sanga. “You did an amazing job, so this is just a little bonus. I’m just sad we don’t have much more to pay.”

Of course, Roan didn’t refuse. This amount might make no difference for the twins, but it was better than nothing. “By the way, who devised this cultivation technique for her? I’m sure I can create something similar. Then again, even I would take a very long time to come up with it. The person who created it is definitely knowledgeable. If possible, I would like to exchange a few ideas with them.”

“This…” Mavo and Sanga looked at each other as if there were some issues with it.

Seeing that, Roan shook his head, saying, “If you can’t talk, then just don’t. Anyway, my job here is done, so I’m taking my leave.”

“Wait!” Suddenly, Magali stopped Roan. 

“Magali!” Mavo and Sanga immediately called her attention.

However, Magali just shook her head, telling them, “Mom, dad, He did much more than we thought anyone else could. He deserves at least this much.” 

Mavo and Sanga couldn’t help but sigh after that, but they followed Magali’s wish in the end. “Very well. The person who created this technique is not really a person but a Sea Chilling Spirit. Well, that will be of no use for you since no one can see a spirit without high enough cultivation or if they don’t show themselves.”

“A Spirit?” Roan was surprised to hear that. ‘I’ll better ask the small Kibin later.’

Magali confirmed, telling Roan, “Yes, it went by the name of Havek. He was part of the Chilling Water Spirit Race.”

“Havek?” Roan did remember a certain person with that name, although it was Rean who had interacted with that person the most in the past. Of course, Roan thought that their names being the same was nothing but a coincidence. This was the Realm of Gods, where countless intelligent beings lived. Just how many Haveks would be found in Pol Continent Alone? Though, just to make sure… “He didn’t have a surname, right?” Spirits had no surnames, just like the demon beasts. Well, to be more specific, there might be a few who had surnames, but they were quite rare since most of them didn’t care about it.

“How did you know?” Magali asked in surprise. “Wait! Could it be that you know him? That would explain how you know so much about cultivation techniques.”

Roan shook his head, saying, “I probably don’t. It’s just that I met someone called Havek Sasamil many years ago. I doubt the Spirit you saw has the same surname, though.”

Magali, Sanga, and Mavo looked at Roan with weird expressions after that. “That’s… his name.”

Roan’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch a little after that. ‘That’s too much of a coincidence, isn’t it?’ Roan then asked another thing. “Did he look full of himself, like he was the best Spirit in the entire Realm of Gods or something like that?”

Once again, the three of them nodded in unison. 

“That’s definitely him.”

“That basically sums up that spirit.”

“You couldn’t have described him any better.”

Roan nodded before saying, “Alright, let’s just pretend I didn’t hear anything, and you didn’t say anything either. I’ll take my leave now.” Whether it was a coincidence or not, Roan didn’t want to meet that person at all.

Of course, Rean, who was listening to everything through their Soul Connection, wouldn’t leave it at that. ‘Cut the bullshit. It’s obviously Havek. First of all, it was I who had to deal with him most of the time, so why would you care?’

‘I just find him annoying,’ said Roan in response.

‘Alright, he was a little annoying, but he wasn’t a bad person.’ Rean tried to cover for Havek, saying, ‘He was just a little overconfident. Anyways, he might know something about mom and dad. He might know a lot about everyone from Sasamil!’

‘A little?’ Roan asked back. ‘Even I, who barely interacted with him, don’t want to see his face.’ Nevertheless, he knew that it was their best shot so far. They did find Rana, who happened to be a Fairy Spirit. It made sense that another person from the destroyed Sunkan Planet also turned into a Spirit. ‘Fine, let me see.’

“Alright, do you know how I can meet him?” Roan asked the group.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to pretend you didn’t hear anything?” they asked back.

“Just forget what I said, alright?” Roan did not have much choice already.

Of course, they could tell why he didn’t seem to want to meet that specific Spirit. “Well, we agreed that we wouldn’t say anything about him.. However, since it seems like you know each other, we will tell you what we know.”
