Death... and me

Chapter 2997: Chains

Rean immediately noticed something strange. The Sunlight Energy in there was truly strong, so Klifon shouldn't be able to resist it. Even Rean himself was having a hard time. Yet, Klifon seemed completely fine. Of course, the situation at hand took precedence, so Rean put those thoughts behind.

*Peng!*

Suddenly, a chain connected to the giant ball of Sunlight Energy broke, which was a chain Klifon was working on a moment ago. The twins looked around, and they could see many more of those chains. Over half of them had been broken recently, while the rest didn't seem to last much longer.

Klifon saw he succeeded in breaking a chain and quickly flew to the next one. "I don't have time to explain. Take the teleport formation you two used and get out of here before I get her free."

Roan looked up and could see the room shaking nonstop due to the attacks of the ethereal Golden Crow above. Looking at the concentration of Sunlight Energy, and the fact Klifon said 'her,' it was safe to conclude the giant ball of Sunlight Energy was indeed another Golden Crow. "We came here looking for the Divine Stones."

"Divine Stones?" Klifon continued to work on the chains to break them. "There is no such thing here. The only existence in this place is the one I'm trying to free. I'm not trying to deceive you. Trust me, you won't want to be here when she wakes up."

Rean landed on Klifon's side, making Klifon nervous. "What is it? Are you going to stop me?"

Rean shook his head. "I don't even know what you are trying to do, so why should I stop you? Above all, you are even warning us to get away so we don't get hurt. I don't think you are lying. However, there is a big Golden Crow outside trying to make its way into this chamber. Are you sure you want to be alone?"

Roan narrowed his eyes. 'What are you trying to do? There are obviously no Divine Stones here, so we need to leave.'

Rean didn't agree. 'Come on, there might be something good in it for us as well. Besides, don't tell me you couldn't feel Klifon's concern. He truly is afraid of us dying because of that other Golden Crow. His feelings are genuine, so can you just ignore him?'

'Tch...' Roan didn't like Rean's words, but he truly couldn't feel any lies in Klifon's words or expressions, and someone as young as Klifon could only dream about deceiving Roan with

lies.

"How... How do you know the name of her race? No one was supposed to," Klifon asked, surprised. He obviously didn't hear the twins' soul conversation. However, the room shook again, and cracks began to appear on the ceiling. It wasn't time to talk about the twins' knowledge. "Listen, she is my mother; that's all you need to know. Now, can you see that passage on the bottom left? Follow it until it divides into four different paths. Take the left one. It will bring you straight to the entrance of the Palace. You can leave the palace through there."

"Also..." Klifon made up his mind. "Take care of Rosa for me. She is truly a good girl. My advice is that you take her and leave this country immediately."

*Peng!*

Suddenly, another chain broke down. However, it wasn't Klifon who destroyed it. Instead, it was Roan. The chains were already under great pressure, so it wasn't hard to achieve that with his strength and especially his Dark Element.

*Peng!*

One more broken chain followed a second later. Rean, too, just destroyed another one.

"Why..." Klifon was completely lost. "You know nothing about me, about this situation, about what I'm trying to do. Are you crazy? Idiots? Nonsensical? Get out now! There is no need to get involved!"

"She is your mother, right?" Rean didn't mind those comments while asking. "The Golden Crow outside is obviously trying to stop you from getting her free, so how can we just ignore it? Besides, did you forget you and I are brothers now? Hahaha!" Rean was obviously mentioning that time they teased Rosa together. Could that really be used as a motive, though? Well, Rean thought so. The chains were covered in many runes, but they were quite worn due to time. Rean found it easy to destroy them as well.

Roan complained and destroyed more chains. "Stop shit chat and speak already. All you need is for the chains to be broken, right?"

"That..." Klifon got a little emotional. "Ye-Yes! Fuck! Don't say I didn't warn you! Break the Chains. That's all you need to do! I'm taking care of the chains on this side. I already know their weakness. You two don't seem to need that, though. Take care of the rest of the chains."

*Boom!*

*Crack, crack, crack...*

The attacks of the Golden Crow outside continued and seemed to get more ferocious.

"That piece of shit! Just how much does he intend to humiliate us?!" Klifon couldn't help but exclaim, visibly angry. He increased his efforts beyond his limits, trying to break as many chains as possible.

Rean and Roan looked at each other. They were helping, but they were ready to get the hell out of there if things got bad at any moment. It wasn't like they would try to protect Klifon or help him in exchange for their own lives, after all.

*Peng, peng, peng, peng, peng...*

Sister Orb and the twins had their Spiritual Senses spread outside and could tell in detail how far the Golden Crow outside proceeded. It kept rampaging and making its way down little by little. It's just that the material used to build this place was highly resistant. Well, there was also the fact that Golden Crow wasn't really as strong as a real Space Bending Realm expert. It had that cultivation, but it was more like a ghost of one.

*Peng, peng, peng, peng...*

*Boom, boom, boom, boom...*

Suddenly...

*Crack, crack, crack... Bang!*

The ceiling came crashing down. The Golden Crow from outside finally made its way inside. The twins immediately flashed to the exit, already expecting that after watching everything through their senses. However, Klifon stayed behind.

Klifon braced himself for the impact of the collapsing ceiling and the Golden Crow's power, ready to die there. However, just as everything would crash on his body and destroy his core...

*Peng!*

The last chain broke!
