Death... and me

Chapter 3039 Still Here



3039  Still Here

Rean meticulously placed Tony in his designated spot, each movement filled with purpose and precision. Tony, aware of the gravity of the situation, remained silent, not wanting to disturb Rean's intense focus. Rean's conscience was still partially inside the meridias, at the very exit were it met the Werldem Stone before. *Shua!*

Once Rean was certain Tony was in the right place, his Light Element burst out, entering Foliana's meridians and navigating all the way to where they met the Divine Werdlem Stone. Together with his Spiritual Energy, Rean began to mend the connections between both sides patiently. After it was done, the Light Element would instantly heal the area, securing a brand new connection. It wouldn't be wrong to say that the new connections were even better made than they were with the normal Werdlem Stone before. One meridian, three meridians, ten meridians, twenty-five meridians...

Over one hour went by in a flash. Finally, the last meridian was connected, and Rean Light Element intensified even more. The body was then fully merged with the Divine Werdlem Stone, while the extra paths were added as bridges between the Dantian and Stone.

*Phew...*

Rean took a deep breath and removed his hand from Foliana's body. He rechecked the Werdlem Stone several more times with his Spiritual Sense, making sure everything was as perfect as possible. "How is it, Tony? You are the Stone's Spirit, so you should be able to feel the Spiritual Energy inside Foliana's Dantian and the flow between them and the meridians."

Tony hadn't made anything all this while. He didn't even dare to try to circulate any energy. Only when Rean gave him the signal did he finally allow for the connections to work as designed. 'Oh! Such smooth flow of Spiritual Energy. I can feel everything with extreme ease. I've never been connected to anyone before, so I don't know how the actual situation is compared to other owners of Divine Werdlem Stones. However, I dare say that even if we aren't on par with them, we definitely aren't far from it.'

Rean was very happy with the answer. "That's great."

*Pin!*

[Congratulations Hosts. A new owner for the Divine Werdlem Stone has been found. The quest is now completed.]

[Reward: 20 Celestial Points.]

Rean and Roan nodded, satisfied. They sure wanted to help the girl, but it was also true half of the reason became the reward of the quest. 20 Celestial Points was a huge boost for them. Of course, they wouldn't tell Foliana or Tony anything about that.

Roan pulled his hand away after that. "This Red Lightning... I think it can be copied. Above all, it has a special ability, just like my Dark Element or your Light Element."

"It does?" Rean was taken aback. But he then thought about the other cultivators in the past that had these rare affinities. They all had some kind of special ability, so it was understandable that Foliana had one as well. Luan, who had Space Affinity, was a very good example of it.

Roan's Dark Element had the absolute corrosion power. Rean had the absolute healing power. Others could copy their abilities, but they would never be able to reach Rean and Roan's proficiency with the same element.

Roan then tried to use his Dark Element to corrode a little of Foliana's shoulder. Yet, at that moment, the newly improved bloodline seemed to come to life, noticing the harmful intentions. Red Lightning struck Roan's Dark Element, completely eliminating it in an instant.

It wasn't impossible to get rid of Roan's Dark Element when it enters one's body. It is not like it has infinite power. If you use enough Energy to fight it back, you can eventually make his Dark Element use all its power and disappear.

Foliana's Red Lightning Element was different, though. It didn't ry to exhaust Roan's Dark Element. It outright destroyed it!

"Impressive..." Rean couldn't help but praise. "It is that powerful?"

"It is not really powerful at all," Roan shook his head. "When it comes out of the body, it is nowhere as strong. Of course, it is still much stronger than normal Lightning Element, but nothing heaven-defying. However, what it is truly good at is to fight harmful effects, just like my corrosion power."

"So..." Rean pondered a bit. "She is pretty much immune to poisons?"

"I wouldn't say 100%, but it should be pretty close," Roan nodded. "It is like she has your purification skill active 24/7."

Rean's Purification Skill could indeed get rid of any poison or other harmful properties that enter the twins' bodies, but it has to be activated, and it cost a good deal of Spiritual, Divine, or Divine Origin Energy. In Foliana's case, she didn't need to use any Spiritual Energy at all to keep that state. "That's truly a very good ability," Rean admitted.

"I agree," Roan obviously thought so too. "Of course. Don't get the wrong idea. If you cut her head, she will die instantly. It doesn't make her immune to physical attacks. Also, like I said, I don't think it makes her 100% immune to poisons or similar effects. Not to mention, most of the dangers she will experience in her life will not be related to those things."

Rean agreed. "Well, that's still good. By the way, why do you want to copy it? With my purification, there shouldn't be a need."

Roan shook his head again. "I'm not talking about the Red Lightning inside her body. We would need to have the same bloodline as her to achieve that effect. What I'm talking about is using her Red Lightning for attack purposes. As I said, it is still much stronger than normal Lightning Element. With your control over Yang Energies, it should be possible for you to copy its destructive power."

Rean immediately understood. "I see... You want to do the same as when I fuse Fire and Light Elements together. Or when you fuse Dark and Water Elements, right? Above all, I already have almost perfect control over Fire Element, which you also have since you are connected to me."

"Exactly," Roan confirmed. "If we can integrate it into our attacks, they are sure to be even more effective. This protection against poison is of no use for us, but the destructive power definitely is."

"It is worth a try..." Rean could already picture how it worked, but he would need time to get used to it. And since Roan was connected to him and they could share memories and elements, that meant he could also do the same.

*Ugh...*

Finally, Rean's Soul Power effect began to fade, and Foliana slowly woke up. "Wh... What happened?"

Rean patted the girl's head while Roan disappeared without a trace. "I had to remove your Werdlem Stone to put Tony in place. Anyway, you can get up now. The process is over."

Foliana opened her eyes wide and quickly got up. "Truly?!" 'Truly!' Tony answered from within Foliana's body. 'We are together from now on, little girl. As long as you don't let me down, I will do my best for you.'

Foliana looked down and immediately noticed the Divine Werdlem Stone there... or so she would... if she hadn't noticed something else instead. She was still 100% naked!

"Ah!" She quickly used her hands to cover her breasts and her vagina down there, completely forgetting everything else. "Why am I naked again?!"

Rean couldn't help but burst out in laughter. "Hahaha! I had already forgotten that. Well, I guess you still need a few extra hundreds of years to stop caring about such things." Following that, Rean waved his hand.

*Zush!* Immediately, Foliana's clothes appeared again. "Just put them back. I'm going out first. When you are over, just say I'm done, and I'll pull you outside."

*Zush!*

Rean instantly disappeared, just like before. Foliana looked around, still as red as a tomato. Yet, deep down, she felt a little sad. Even in that state, Rean didn't seem to see anything else other than a kid, which was kind of a blow to her confidence. 'I'm not ugly... am I?' She thought for a moment while removing her hands from her private parts and checking herself up. A second later, she vigorously shook her head. 'What am I even thinking?! Clothes, clothes! I need my clothes!'

A minute later, Foliana reappeared outside. Yet, Rean wasn't paying attention to her. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the Swordhorn Fish, Little Fisha. "So you are still here, uh?"

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
