Death… And Me

'Leave it to me!' Milina decided to use the remaining Divine Energy in her body in this battle as Holang was probably easier to defeat after seeing their results. Since they lost against Klacks, they should still be feeling its effects.

Milina then aimed downwards as Earth Element gathered around her body. With the help of the stored Divine Energy in her body, even the disadvantageous environment didn't stop her skill from taking shape.

'Castle Wall!'

A huge shield of Earth Element appeared in front of their group, powered by Saint Realm level Divine Energy. Rean and the others weren't idiots, so they also poured Divine Energy into it even though it wasn't their skill. 

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

The Castle Wall was hit head-on by the three skills of the Holang Country's people. Holang couldn't help but snort at seeing that. How could their skills be stopped by some small fry from a smaller country? They only won all fights so far because they got trash to fight against...or so they thought. Just as they were about to follow up with their next skills and get rid of Rean's group, they noticed the yellow wall-like shield passing through the dust caused by the explosions.

"What?!"

They were strong, that's for sure. Milina's defensive ability almost crumbled due to their power. She was mainly affected by how there was only a small amount of Earth Element in the area. Nevertheless, it resisted, helping Rean's group touch the enemy's flag area intact.

*Splash, splash, splash, splash!*

All four of them landed in the water safely. Of course, their opponents didn't wait for them to regain their balance after the fall.

'Earth Spears!'

Milina immediately retaliated against the Earth Element enemy with the same skill, though. 

'Earth Spears!'

In this field, using any more complicated Earth Element abilities was too hard, so they had to opt for common ones. However, her opponent was taken aback by the number of Earth Spears coming his way. 'Impossible! There's no way someone at the Soul Transformation Realm can create this many spears in this environment!'

'Sword Assault Array!'

Rean was immediately assaulted by several flying swords.

'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!'

Immediately, he created four clones of himself as his hair changed into a mix of black and white color.

'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

Rean's clones then used Three Claws of the Dragon to deflect the swords as Rean himself swan in the enemy's direction!

'Fire Dragon Charge!'

The last opponent shot in the direction of Rean's group. He knew that his Fire Element performed the worst in such a place, so he took the initiative.

Samanta and Regio immediately joined forces to fight him. Regio had the same problem as that enemy since he also used Fire Element. Because of that, he decided to give Samanta support instead by using long-ranged attacks.

'Fire Wisps!'

Hundreds of specks of Fire Element appeared in front of his opponent, exploding at contact. Their strength wasn't anything praiseworthy but enough to slow the guy down.

Samanta then took the front and counterattacked. Her fan shone with Wind Element as the feathers suddenly detached from it. 

'Feather Blade Storm!'

Samanta used one of her strongest attacks right from the get-go. Of course, she wasn't an idiot. As she mentioned, she knew the difference between her and the geniuses from top countries. What she and Regio had to do was hold that guy down long enough, that's all.

Meanwhile, at the back, Roan snorted as he felt two Divine Senses approaching his position. 'Hmph! They saw me launching the rest of my group to fight their members. They knew it would be a three-on-four battle, but they completely ignored that. As expected of a top country, I guess? They think that even with smaller numbers, their companions couldn't possibly lose to us.'

'Death World!'

'Shadow Bind!'

'Mirage Assault!'

'Light and Divine Sense Bending!'

Immediately, Roan's defensive measures took place. So what if his opponents were Water Element users? His skills worked against any elements!

The two guys underwater were surprised to see Roan's Death World. Due to their pride, they didn't ask the teams that lost against Roan's team how it happened. Naturally, they didn't know much about Roan's Death World. It did appear in the first test, but who cared about what small countries did there?

Without being able to locate Roan's clones or the real one's position, they decided to aim for the flag instead.

'Stream Movement!'

'Cyclic Water Repel!'

The first used the speed approach while the other preferred to mount a strong defense while inside Roan's Death World. 

Suddenly, the first cultivator saw Roan through his Divine Sense and immediately changed targets. 

'Icicle Frenzy!'

'Water Compression!'

Roan snorted as he answered in the same coin. 'Good chance to test my control over Water Element with my Yin Energy.'

'Icicle Frenzy!'

'Water Compression!'

Both Roan and his enemy were caught by the icicle storm and could barely move due to the water compression. However, Roan didn't didn't stop there as his Yin Energy burst outwards, affecting the Water Element in the area around him.

Thanks to that, his movement was restored somehow while he still shot icicles at his opponent.

Of course, the enemy wasn't going to stay still. His icicles suddenly made a turn and smashed against's Roan's icicles. He also pushed his water movement skill to the limit, trying to get away from the range of Roan's Water Compression.

'Nicely done!' Roan thought for a moment.

Roan then swapped his position with one of his clones while he moved against the second guy.

'Hehe! I wonder if you can continue to hold your protection skill in my Death World.'

Roan was right. One must remember that although the Death World's Dark Element was spread thin, it was still Dark Element. The guy's Cyclic Water Repel formed a large barrier around himself. That meant it was in contact with a lot more Dark Element than his body would normally come in contact with.

After he made it halfway to Roan's flag, he already had to pour more Divine Energy than ever to keep his skill up. 'Fuck it!'

In the end, he could tell that Roan was fighting his companion, so he deactivated his Cyclic Water Repel and made a beeline to the flag! Unfortunately for him, he also didn't know about Roan's clones and that the real Roan was waiting for that to happen.

'Death Style, Death Scythe!'
