Death… And Me

Chapter 1228 - Explode... Again!

*Clang, clang, clang...*

It then fell on the ground and kicked a few times before it stopped completely. In the end, the only thing that survived the explosion was the Yin Ghost Core itself.

*Gasp, gasp, gasp...*

Liana then fell on her butt, not being able to keep herself on foot anymore. That was obviously some kind of attack that required a lot from her to execute.

As soon as the ghost was dead, the remaining ghosts lost a lot of their power. It was as if the presence of the ghost with a Yin Ghost Core made them stronger than they usually were. However, they didn\'t stop their attacks. After all, they only acted on instinct, going after any living being with Soul Power.

Rean, Roan, and Kentucky didn\'t have issues getting rid of the rest, though. It\'s just that Roan felt somewhat annoyed that the Ghost Leader didn\'t choose him to attack, so he could only watch until the end. However, another thing annoyed him as he moved in Liana\'s direction.

When Liana saw Roan coming, she cursed herself. She had overexerted just now, so she was in no condition to fight back if Roan decided to attack. All she could do was put her hand over her spatial ring, ready to take out her life-saving item.

Roan didn\'t care about any of that, though. "There\'s a difference between showing your power and being an idiot. Why the hell did you use an attack that put you in such a weak position? Aren\'t you here to accomplish the task of the Missions Hall?" That\'s what bothered him. "Sure, you did defeat that ghost in the end. However, what if you couldn\'t? Also, what if Rean, Kentucky, and I weren\'t here? Would you be able to fight the rest of the ghosts? Don\'t come and say that you only had to fight it because you were following us. From the very start, I told you you could leave. I didn\'t even want you to tag along."

Liana felt like an elder of her Tenke Kingdom was rebuking her, which did happen many times in the past. To her, that\'s the kind of aura he gave, someone much, much older and experienced. In the end, she couldn\'t help but drop her head, saying, "I was reckless."

Roan\'s expression finally eased after that. "You aren\'t without salvation, it seems. Those proud idiots of the Sacred Land would definitely complain back, not admitting their mistake."

Rean then arrived by Roan\'s side and patted his shoulder while looking at Liana. "Don\'t mind this old geezer. He\'s harsh, but when it comes to combat, he\'s always right. It\'s extremely annoying, but that\'s his way of being gentle."

Roan\'s mouth twitched after hearing that. "Where the hell did you get the idea that I\'m gentle? I would have done the same thing with you if you had performed that poorly. No, I would be even worse since you received my training."

Kentucky ignored Roan\'s last words before he told Liana. "Leaving the ice block aside, that water body you created was very impressive."

Liana finally recovered a bit and got up again. "That\'s a secret skill from our Tenke Country. However, it needs an unbelievable high control over Yin Energy and Water Element. Not to mention the huge amount of Divine Energy and Soul Power to create it in the first place."

Kentucky nodded before he looked at Roan, asking, "Roan, you can already control water Element as well, right? Are you able to create something like that?"

Roan pondered a bit about the skill itself. "Rean and I can already create Divine Energy clones, so it shouldn\'t be something much different. It\'s just that I don\'t know how she made it explode in the end. Let me give it a try."

Without even waiting for Liana\'s words, Roan used his own Yin Energy to control Water Element. It wasn\'t as perfect as controlling Dark Element, but he wasn\'t that far off. A few moments later, a body of water, made of Yin Energy, Water Element, and Divine Soul Power, took form. "Hmm... it\'s not exactly correct. The balance is off compared to her skill."

Liana felt like crying after seeing that. Roan tried it for the very first time, and he didn\'t even have the jade slip with the explained process to do that. However, he had already created a Yin Clone that was at least 90% as good as the one she just used. Not only that, he didn\'t seem tired after doing it at all. \'Isn\'t this way too unfair?!\'

Roan noticed Liana\'s sad expression before saying, "Don\'t worry. I used a lot of Divine Energy to create it. The difference is that my Dantian has a lot more Divine Energy than yours due to our region\'s trait. Still, I wouldn\'t be able to create more than two before I run out, so I can understand why you felt so tired after it. If I\'m at my peak, I might be able to create three, but that\'s the absolute limit."

Liana shook her head. "Being able to create two clones is already far above what anyone at your level can do. You guys are incredible freaks. However, don\'t expect me to share with you the method to create the explosion. I\'m bound by the Soul Binding Contract to not share the country\'s secrets."

"Explode!"

The Yin Energy and Water Element in Roan\'s clone suddenly went chaotic before the Yin Clone burst in an explosion of Yin Energy and Water Element. "I see... so that\'s how it works. It might be useful in the future."

Liana wanted to die already.
