Death… And Me-Chapter 1839: Fight!

Fratekla and Rlakux's injuries then began to close up at fast speeds, almost matching the speed Rean's Instant Recovery could achieve. It's just that they weren't using their own power for that. Instead, they used the power of the souls they absorbed when they arrived in the central region. Of course, Rean and Roan wouldn't just stand there and watch them recover.

'Death Style, Shadow Steps!'

'Life Style, Enhancement!'

Roan was the first to attack, heading straight for Rlakux.

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

Roan's scythe then transformed into three as they attacked three of Rlakux's vital points.

"Hmph!" Rlakux's scythe spun as Dark Element and weapon intent covered it.

*Clang, clang, clang...*

The two scythes made several clashes in a span of a second as the space around Roan and Rlakux contorted. Of course, it was more due to Roan's Spatial Power that it happened since Rlakux and Fratekla couldn't use it yet. Somehow, Rlakux's scythe didn't seem much weaker than Roan's scythe. Well, Roan's scythe had been damaged due to Sun and Moon Obliteration, so it was already impressive that it still had a slight advantage.

Another reason was that Rlakux was using not only his demon powers but the Space Bending Realm souls as well. When it was added to weapon intent and Dark Element, it was able to match Roan's attack power. The demon's power of using others' souls to strengthen themselves was truly impressive.

At the same time, Rean brandished his Black Star against the ground even though there wasn't anything there. However, the moment his sword passed there, an ethereal black thorn vine came out of the ground.

*Clang!*

Rean parried the vine and shot forward as well.

'Life Fire, Flame Emperor Slash!'

Light and Fire Element gathered as Yang Energy increased the power of the attack. Sword intent and Spatial Power also increased the power even more.

Fratekla quickly jumped back as her thorny vine-looking weapon came back from the ground, attacking Rean from behind. The souls of the Space Bending Realm experts she absorbed entered the vine, increasing its strength and speed. It was as if the vine was feeding on them.

Rean didn't care, though.

*Bang!*

Rean's Flame Emperor Slash and Fratekla's Black Thorn Vine hit each other, causing a shockwave that forced the two apart... or so it seemed. Rean's body suddenly began to disappear into specks of dark and white light before Rean's real body appeared on Fratekla's side.

'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!'

'Life Fire, Third Form, Flaming Blade Arc!'

A wide-area attack at point-blank distance, giving Fratekla almost no chance to defend. However, Fratekla didn't seem to panic as even more of the Space Bending Realm souls poured out of her body, creating something that looked like a gray shield between her and Rean's Black Star!

*Boom!*

The shockwave once again separated the two, and this time it was truly Rean's body that was forced away.

'Death Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!'

A wave of black and white light came at Rlakux, which he immediately counter-attacked while using the souls' power and his own.

'Reaper Wave!'

His Red Scythe came slashing down, creating a similar but vertical red wave of power, which clashed against Roan's White Scythe and the Crescent Moon.

*Bang!*

Just like Rean and Fratekla, Roan and Rlakux were also forced back by the shockwave, although neither side got injured. So far, both sides were evenly matched.

However, while Rean and Roan were calm, feeling that everything was under control, Fratekla and Rlakux had a heated discussion through Divine Sense.

'What the hell is happening here?! Not only can they use Spatial Power, but their overall strength is also out of the charts. We're using Space Bending Realm Souls here, you know!' Rlakux couldn't help but complain.

Fratekla agreed with him. 'They are indeed top geniuses from both angel and demon races. But that's not all. Their weapons are much better than ours. If not because they're damaged, we might have been at a disadvantage. The good thing is that it doesn't seem like they can use that attack that killed Sajax and the others. There seem to be very stringent conditions for that.'

Fratekla was mostly impressed by something else, though. 'The thing that bothers me the most is how they're both using Dark and Light Elements in all their skills. Not only aren't those two opposite elements rejecting each other, but they're also strengthening them. An angel shouldn't be able to use Dark Element, and a demon shouldn't be able to use Light Element. At the very least, not with such proficiency. That's not all. Their body strength is also ridiculous. We demons have extremely strong bodies, only losing out to demon beasts in this regard. However, both of them seem to have bodies stronger and more resistant than ours, and we're top demons.'

Rlakux narrowed his eyes after hearing that. 'I can't tell why they can use both Light and Dark Elements together. However, their body strength has to be related to a body cultivation technique. It's just that such body strength at the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm would only be possible with that technique.'

Fratekla nodded in agreement. 'Indeed, it has to be the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique. Yet, the number of experts that have ever been able to cultivate that technique is almost nonexistent. Most of them are already old monsters that wouldn't have been able to approach this place.'

It was then that Rlakux remembered something. 'Are you talking about the rumors? Those same Starlight Body Cultivation Technique experts seemed to be in a frenzy, trying to find some new cultivators of this technique that have just appeared. So far, it doesn't seem like they found who those new Starlight Experts are. Could these two be them?'

Fratekla nodded once again. 'That's what I heard as well. Elder Posrax was especially determined to find these new Starlight Users. I can't think of any other reason for their strength to be this high. Being able to use Spatial Power at their cultivation level is definitely rare, but not enough to explain their body strength.'

Suddenly, Rean and Roan's bodies began to disappear again. 

'Shit!'

Although that Divine Sense discussion only lasted a second, it was enough for the twins to make their next move.
