Death... and me

Chapter 1840: Sea Urchin

'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!'

Mirage Assault had lost most of its power at this point. On top of that, it wasn't very useful since it couldn't deceive those enemies at the Void Tempering Realm and above due to their natural spatial perception. However, it was still very good against those at the Transition Realm and below. The clones were far from having enough power to cause damage to the demons, but they still looked very real against enemies in that realm.

Rlakux and Fratekla quickly jumped back just as the twins' real bodies appeared.

'Death Style, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

'Death Style, Stellar Piercer!'

Surprisingly though, Rean attacked Rlakux while Roan attacked Fratekla. In an instant, the type of movements they had to deal with a moment ago had completely changed!

'Decaying Thorn Prison!'

Following her backjump, Fratekla's Black Thorn Vine grew and surrounded herself, creating a protective barrier.

*Putch!*

However, the moment she thought she was going to defend against Roan's Three Claws of the Dragon, the twins changed direction once again. Rean's Stellar Piercer headed straight to Fratekla while the Claws of the Dragon followed Rlakux.

The Stellar Piercer was a single-point attack, so a spread defense like that wasn't very good against it. Rean's Dark and Light Element attack passed right through it, piercing through Fratekla's right shoulder.

*Arrrgh!*

The Dark Element in the attack didn't cause any trouble to her. All demons had Dark Element Affinity, just like Roan. However, Light Element was another story. It immediately rampaged against Fratekla's Dark Element, causing her Divine Energy to go chaotic.

At the same time, one of the three scythes was blocked by Rlakux, while the other two hit his body. Fortunately for him, he reacted a little faster than Fratekla did, so the two attacks didn't hit any vital point either. Nevertheless, Roan's Three Claws of the Dragon still carried Light Element. It obviously caused just as much trouble as it did for Fratekla.

Rlakux and Fratekla quickly brought out even more of the souls' power, eliminating the Light Element in their bodies while retreating from Rean and Roan's range. They knew it wouldn't work that way, though. The twins wouldn't stop their assault that easily, especially when they had the upper hand. With that said, they also prepared their own counterattack.

The two purposely jumped closer to each other as the soul power they had absorbed before came out. Following that, a much stronger decaying power suddenly emanated from their bodies, spreading outwards. 

'Soul Decaying Field!'

Anything it touched seemed to age thousands of years in an instant! However, the real damage of that attack would be to the soul of those close to it. It could deteriorate the enemy's soul like a corrosive poison.

Unfortunately for them, Rean and Roan immediately disappeared. Fratekla immediately thought that they had destroyed two more clones, which wasn't wrong. The twins really did use Mirage Assault and let the clones be hit by Soul Decaying Field. 

In any case, the two demons looked around, ready to counterattack. Their Divine Senses should be able to see them this time. However, the twins had completely disappeared. It was the same as when they first attacked their group. There was simply nothing there. 

'Careful,' Fratekla knew why this time, though. 'They can use Spatial Powers even though they're in the Transition Realm. With that said, they must have Pocket Dimensional Realms. Let's retreat quickly since they can't come out anywhere else other than the place they first used to enter their pocket realms.'

Rlakux nodded in response as the two kept the decaying field active and moved away from that area. Well, they weren't wrong. The twins had really entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Also, it was true that they needed to come out in the same place they had disappeared unless at least one of the twins was outside. However, both the twins were in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. At most, they could reappear a few meters away from the exact point, and the two demons immediately left that range.

Then again, there was one more thing that could be used in the Dimensional Realm that allowed the twins to appear somewhere else.

Rean and Roan immediately gave the order. "Sister Orb, activate the Circuitry Teleport Formation!"

It would be too risky to use it if they were fighting against Spatial Power users. It would also be risky to teleport somewhere far away in this place since it should have defenses against Spatial Movement. However, if it was just a few tens of meters, then they could at least guarantee that the area of arrival was safe. Though, that was just because no Spatial Power users were there to scramble the surrounding space.

*Vup, vup!*

Rean and Roan reappeared outside the Dimensional Realm at the same moment that the demons stopped using their Decaying Field.

'Death Style, Death Scythe!'

'Life Fire, White Stellar Explosion!'

However, Fratekla and Rlakux didn't let their guard down just because they left the range of the dimensional realm. After everything they had seen from the twins, they accounted for the possibility that they could once again appear somewhere near themselves. 

"Idiots!"

The two of them immediately poured even more of their absorbed souls' power out. However, they didn't use the Soul Decaying Field. Instead, two items that looked like sea ​​urchins appeared in their hands as the Soul Power was completely absorbed by them. 

'Not good!' Rean and Roan could feel that those sea ​​urchin-like items had a lot of Spatial Power inside them. It was as if two giant black holes had appeared in their natural spatial perception.

*Zush, zush!*

Space broke apart as their spikes suddenly multiplied and shot out in all directions. The twins were absolutely sure that that item was created by some very high-level expert, far above the Space Bending Realm. Not only that, but those spikes seemed to pass through Fratekla and Rlakux as if they didn't exist. The control over space was so good that they completely avoided their owners. 

*Putch, putch, putch, putch...*

In an instant, the twins were pierced by hundreds of those spikes.
