Death... and me

Chapter 2753: Floquei

*Zush!*

Suddenly, Rean appeared in the area as Roan healed Sonzei. "How is it?"

Roan nodded, showing a tinge of satisfaction. "He is not a lost case, and this Leviathan Bloodline is truly something else. Just the fact it interacts with the Laws of Water on its own shows its power. Of course, it is most likely due to its long contact with the Fragment in this Dimensional Realm."

Rean smiled and looked at Lisia. "You have gone quite far, uh? Sonzei is in the Saint Realm and yet you can totally trash him. I have to say, you are truly different from Malaka. She hated training, but you take it all very seriously."

"I'm a lot more like my father in this regard," Lisia spoke. "He was always a stern and hardworking man, and I admired him. I still do, actually. It is not like he is dead or anything." She then looked at Sonzei. "However, it won't be long before the difference in cultivation between me and him shows its true value. I'm already struggling to put him down."

Roan agreed with her. "He is truly fighting for his life, so that's to be expected. I'm not kidding; if Sonzei lets his guard down, you must take his life. Without peril, he won't evolve. That's the approach I have always followed. I did it with Rean and Kentucky. I did it with my disciples, and I did it to you. I won't change now."

Sonzei then opened his eyes, having recovered from his injuries. There was no more pain or broken bones to speak of. If not for his ragged and bloodied clothes, one would find it hard to believe he was about to die a moment ago. That didn't make him happy, though. He

had already passed through this situation hundreds of times since he arrived here. The fact he was healed meant the battle was about to continue, and a lot more pain was coming in his direction.

"Take this," Roan threw him a few Rank Four Divine Stones. "Absorb them and get ready for battle. This time, you must defeat Lisia before I need to heal you again. If you don't, they just die and stop wasting my time."

Sonzei's expression froze. Lisia was already trying to kill him many times. However, he was holding by a thread since Roan healed him now and then. This time, he had to defeat her or die? Doesn't that mean he is pretty much dead already? "I... I don't-"

Yet, before he could finish his words, Roan left. He didn't even want to hear him.

Rean smiled and shrugged his shoulder. "Since Roan said you have to defeat her, that means he believes you definitely have the capability to do so. Come on, you are over an entire realm above in cultivation. It will be disgraceful if you can't use that to your advantage. She doesn't even have a bloodline like you do."

Lisia moved her sword right and left. "I don't intend to hold back, though. If I do, I'll be the one to suffer later. You better ame your mind fast. Will you die, will you defeat me? We will see."

Sonzei cried in response. "Then I'm dead already..."

Rean ignored that and looked around. "By the way, where is Fafa? She always stays close to Sonzei, no?"

Lisia nodded. "She did. But after seeing him being trashed so many times, she couldn't bear it anymore and left. She asked Luan to help her train as well. They should be fighting somewhere around here. Well, with Luan's cultivation, it is more likely that he is trashing her instead. Luan truly knows how to follow Ancestor Roan's methods."

Rean felt pity for her. "Poor girl. Still, she couldn't bear seeing Sonzei getting a beating, uh? Seems like she truly likes Sonzei."

"Hum..." Lisia thought for a moment. "She does like him, but it is not love-related. It is more like a Master-Demon Beast relationship instead."

"Oh!" Rean understood. "I thought she had some interest in him, but it seems like I was wrong."

"Flast-Kufei and I had never had that kind of relationship. It is good that at least Lisia understands that." Sonzei finally spoke. Rean and Lisia were talking about such things on his face as if he wasn't even there, so he had to intervene.

"I'm a woman, after all. Women are many times better when it comes to the problems of the heart," Lisia spoke proudly. She seemed very happy, too. "So, have you finished already?"

Sonzei quickly shook his head. "I only started to recover my Divine Energy a minute ago! What do you think I am, a monster?"

Rean could tell everything was going smoothly. "Well, you guys are fine, so I'm taking my leave. Do your best, Sonzei. Although you will probably be dead before the end of the training, I do hope you come out alive."

With those last words, Rean disappeared, much to Sonzei's despair. "Could it be things will get even worse? Even if I win against you?"

Lisia gently patted Sonzei's head, feeling proud. "My little Sonzei is growing up. He can even predict the future now."

Sonzei cried more.

In the Leviathan's Dimensional Realm, all of its elders were called out, and the council took place four days later. There, Rean, Roan, Olvris, and Sonzei could be found at the center of the meeting room.

It goes without saying that the Leviathans looked at Sonzei with hostility. They all could feel their sacred bloodline inside that human of the Levi Tribe.

"Why is this thing still alive? He is disgracing our Leviathan's bloodline!" One of the elders there spoke, still unaware of the reason for the gathering.

A few of the other Leviathans seemed to have the same opinion, although no one attacked. Those were the Leaders' Orders. At the highest place, an old man stood tall, looking at the Leviathans and Rean's group. He was Futula's father and also the Leviathans' leader, Floquei. "That's what we came here to discuss. Let's start."
