Death... and me

Alanda was with the leading group when suddenly, he rushed out. As soon as Diakar crushed the red bead, he immediately noticed it.

'What is happening with those two? There shouldn't have been another accident.' ​​

Back on Rean's group side, they were not as fast as the Python, it only took it a few seconds to reach their group. It then pounced at Roan, but Diakar, who was beside him, took out his Sword and slashed against it. The Sword hit the enemy's body, but nothing more than a small cut was left behind. Diakar has the highest cultivation, being in the Middle Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm, but even he couldn't damage it.

Fortunately, it was still strong enough to deflect the attack, giving Roan more than sufficient time to dodge. Roan didn't run after that, though. Instead, he took that chance and slashed against the Python's eyes. Because of the speed of the Python, Roan already understood that running would be meaningless. They need to resist until Alanda appears.

The Python closed its eyes, but it wasn't enough to prevent the cut. Especially since the power of the Darkness Element immediately started to erode the surrounding area. Rean had heard Roan's call, appearing on the other side in a second. He was planning to hit the other eye as well. However, the Python understood the danger and immediately dodged while swiping its tails against Rean.

Although Rean used his Sword to block, his body was too small, so he was still sent flying. The only good thing was that he didn't get injured. The Python didn't take this group seriously before, but it won't hold back anymore.

Roan looked at it and then told everyone.

"Don't try to run, we are not as fast as it. Try to stall for time. Attack together, and defend together. Alanda should be here in any second."

The Python didn't waste any time and attacked once more. However, it circled around and went to Rean, who landed further away from Roan, Diakar, and Opril.

Rean didn't panic. He waited for the moment that the Python pounced at him and used his Light Element on his legs, dodging the attack in the last second. However, the Python's tail came once more while still on the air after jumping to avoid the previous attack.

"Fuck!"

Bam!

Although Rean had used Light Element in his arms this time to block the tail with his Sword, he didn't have a foothold. Thus, Rean was sent rolling in the air, even further away from Roan and the others. Noticing the chance, the Python immediately ran after him.

Roan and the others were close but would need another second to help Rean. As for Rean, he hasn't landed yet, so he couldn't see things clearly. Roan could see that Rean would be swallowed whole if he didn't arrive there in time, but he couldn't use the enhancement in his body like Rean.

[Are you two idiots? Why haven't you traded Elements through the connection of your bodies yet? Just have Rean send Light Element within the thread and use it on yourself. At the same time, send Dark Element back for the exchange.]

Sister Orb!

Rean and Roan didn't have time to think, so Rean gathered Light Element while Roan did the same thing with Dark Element, quickly making the exchange. This was the first time they tried something like this, but surprisingly, it felt as natural as breathing. Light and Dark Elements passed through the thread in an equal exchange. Two opposites, still, one couldn't exist without the other, the real meaning of Yin and Yang.

For a moment, a small part of Rean and Roan's hairs changed, showing a mix of Black and White colors. Roan ignored this fact and immediately used the Light Element in his legs. He hasn't tried something like this before, but he had seen Rean enough times.

For a second, his speed soared, and he was able to reach the side of the Snake's head just as it was about to swallow Rean. He slashed down against the same eye he hit before, leaving behind an even deeper cut. Not only that, but he had used Rean's Light Element to increase the power of his arms in the last moment too. The Python's attack direction changed, and Rean finally landed on the ground.

Rean didn't waste this chance and did the same thing, slashing against the Python's other eye, who had lost its balance due to Roan's attack. Light Element increased the power of his arms while Dark Element was used on the Sword. The enemy had no time to dodge, and its other eye was hit as well. Greater damage while leaving the erosion of the life force effect behind.

The Python was now blind! Because it couldn't see anymore, it immediately went berserk, swiping his tail around. Rean and Roan were once again sent flying, but the Python didn't pursue. Instead, it tried to go underground one more time to escape. It needed time to heal its eyes.

"Hmph! Since you are already here, why don't you stay for a while longer?"

It was at this moment that Alanda arrived. He grabbed the Snake's tail and swung it around. The half part of its body that was already underground quickly came out. Alanda is at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so he and the Python should have similar combat power. But because the Python was blind, it didn't pose too much of a threat to Alanda.

Rean, Roan, Diakar, and Opril also helped on the sidelines. With Alanda's Sword piercing through its skull, the Python finally stopped moving. It was dead!

Seeing its body, Alanda let out a sigh of relief.

"It is finally over."

It was then that he looked at Rean and Roan. He could see their hairs, which are black and white, slowly turning back to their original colors. Not only that, but he was also close when Rean and Roan used the other's Element. However, he decided to ask about it later.

"Just why is there a Stage Two Demon Beast in this place?"

Rean's group shook their heads. They, too, had no idea.

[Number of Demon beasts Killed: 10]
