Death… And Me

Samanta and Regio were still holding their opponent back, although they were at a definite disadvantage. However, the guy also paid attention to the battlefield and saw how his companion fled from Milina. Let alone the fact that Rean defeated his. 'Fuck! Where the hell did those two come from? The ones fighting me aren't anything special, but the other two are too overpowered!'

Suddenly, he received a Divine Sense Message from his companion that fled from Milina. 'Stop wasting time there. The white-haired guy is coming for you. Don't get forced to use the protective barrier. Unfortunately, this field is just too terrible for us.' Well, this field was also terrible for Rean's team, so they didn't really have the right to complain. 'Save your Divine Energy for the next match. Parvin's main team definitely won't be an easy match either.' 

He could see Rean kicking the water to approach him quickly. If he waited too long, he would be surrounded by three opponents at the same time. Let alone that Milina might come at him as well. 'Fine! Where the hell is Hemou and Tinbik? They're both Water Element users! Shouldn't they be back with the enemy's flag by now?'

Well, little did they know that Roan had just finished the second guy underwater. It's just that they were so deep that even Roan's Death World couldn't be seen from the surface. Yes, Roan left his flag unprotected. Too bad that no one would be able to take it anyway. Holang Country only had two cultivators remaining that fled from Rean.

Even if they went after Rean's team flag, Rean's group already got their own. Without their own flag, it was impossible to finish the battle. Let alone when Roan joined them. It would be useless to go after Rean's team flag.

Samanta and Regio finally let out sighs of relief when their opponent fled. "Phew...thankfully, Milina and Rean won against their opponents. We wouldn't be able to hold that guy for much longer."

Regio agreed with Samanta. "As expected of a top country. Even two of us isn't enough to fight him on the same level. Let alone the fact that he is a Fire Element user. After all, this is an ocean field. His power definitely wasn't just that."

Rean then approached Samanta and Regio before asking, "How are your injuries?" He could see that they did receive quite some damage from their battle. Especially Samanta, who fought that guy head-on while Regio only offered support.

"We're fine. However, we could do with your healing skill." Samanta obviously wouldn't reject Rean's help in this matter.

Rean smiled and began to heal both of them. A moment later, Milina arrived with the enemy's flag on their side. "Alright, with their flag in our hands, we won't lose. Anyways, let's go back to our flag to finish it."

However, Regio and Rean were taken aback when they saw Milina. They didn't notice it at first because she was far away. However, now that she was close, they could finally see it. There was no more fat in her body. No, to be more precise, there was no more Divine Energy instead. She was as slim as a healthy girl could be. And...she truly looked beautiful!

Samanta was the only one who didn't look surprised. Samanta and Milina had known each other for quite some time, so Samanta had seen her in that form before. "Oh, it seems like you spent all the Divine Energy in your body, huh?"

Milina nodded in response. "I had to if I wanted to scare that guy away. Just a little bit more, and my power would fall to the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm. Well, he doesn't know that, so it's fine." Milina then warned them, "However, the way I am right now, I'm weaker than Regio and Samanta. Don't expect me to fight at the Saint Realm level anymore."

It was then that she noticed that Rean and Regio were still looking at her body, which made her feel a little embarrassed. "Ahem... aren't you two looking way too much?"

Rean snapped out of his daze and rubbed the back of his head, telling her, "Senior Fabio wasn't lying. You truly look great without the Divine Energy inflating your body."

Regio nodded vigorously. Even he, who usually didn't show much emotion, was dazzled by that.

Milina obviously felt happy to hear that. "Hehe! You better not fall in love with me, though."

Rean immediately shook his head. "That won't happen. I already have someone I like and have no intention of betraying her."

That was the first time Samanta, Milina, and Regio heard about that. "Really? How is she?"

Rean shook his head in response, telling them, "I'll talk about it another time. For now, let's go back to our flag."

By the time they arrived, Roan was already back as well. Not that it was necessary as the two remaining participants didn't dare to battle anymore. Eventually, a Divine Sense Message reached everyone when they put both flags together. 'Kamos Country has brought the enemy's flag back. The match is over. The victory goes to Kamos Country!'

Following that, everyone was teleported through the spatial door in the waiting room. Their battle seemed to have been the one that lasted the longest. The other team had already left the spatial doors and were resting.

Rean's group then looked at the scoring board. Tenke Country was still first, with Venali's Huring Country in second. Rean's group had won all matches up to this point, so they had the same 21 points as them. By now, less than 60 countries had a full score of 21 points, so they could be said to be in a good position. In Rean's group, only his team and Klacks Country had that. The next opponent, obviously, would be Klacks Country.

The battles continued, and the seventh round was over. In the eighth round, Tenke and Huring kept their positions. As for Rean's team, it was time to face the strongest team among their ten country group.

Hedoi obviously saw that Rean's team defeated Holang, just like his own team did. Because of that, he threw away any thoughts of underestimating them.

"Next matches! Number 91 and 93. Number Ninety..."

Without wasting time, Rean and Hedoi's team entered their spatial door.. It was better to get over with it.
