Chapter 1006 - It's Good That You Know
Oglico was as confused as he could be. Didn't the twins drop their plates while fighting him and the others? How come they were playing cards over there? Not only that, but their Anti-Soul Power Plates just so happened to be floating above their heads as if nothing had happened. Of course, Sansa and Hudi had the same question in their heads.
With that, they looked into the distance and saw Samu, Difran, and Ancel staying by Elder Erfalis' side. They were using their Divine Energy to heal themselves. Of course, they couldn't ever hope to be as good as Rean. Those injuries would take several days to be dealt with. Naturally, they had terrible expressions as they knew what had happened already.
"This..." Oglico then looked at Rean and Roan, finally understanding what had transpired. "How's that possible? I should have been able to tell I was fighting Difran and the others with my Divine Sense..."
Roan then got up from the ground, feeling very good as he said to Rean, "Alright, whether you want to accept it or not, I won."
Rean sighed in response, saying, "Whatever. Next time, we'll play without your Death World active. It's just too hard to see inside it." Rean then looked at Oglico and said, "Oh, right! You're the last one left. Are you going to drop your Anti-Soul Power Plate, or should we force you?"
Oglico's expression was terrible after hearing that. He quickly looked around, expecting the other cultivators still in the competition to back him up. However, they knew that the twins made Oglico's group fight each other somehow. With that being said, they immediately took several steps back, not wanting to get on the twins' bad side at all.
Oglico then looked at Sansa and asked, "What about you?! Will you simply stay there and let them deal with me? Who do you think will be the target next time?"
Sansa and Hudi looked at each other before they looked at Rean and Roan. Sure enough, they were still confused as to why the twins left them out of their scheme. It would have been much better if Sansa and Hudi had been forced to fight as well, just like Oglico and the others. "Care to explain?"
Roan didn't say anything, but Rean was different. He smiled in response before answering, "I know your type. You don't want to rely on shady methods to win this Soul Power test. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you want to win fair and square, proving to others that you have the highest Soul Power talent in Cosec City. That's how prideful you are." Rean then shrugged his shoulders as he continued, "Well, the fact is that Roan and I also welcome a true challenge."
Sansa was taken aback for a moment before she burst out in laugher. "Hahaha! Good! I like you two! Yes, you're correct. Above everything else, I want to prove that I'm the best when it comes to Soul Power. I might just be an ant when we talk about the entire Realm of Gods, but I still have my pride as a member of the Infrincal Race. I want to at least prove that I really deserve it in a small city like Cosec."
Roan glanced at her for a moment and nodded. That was the reason why he and Rean didn't attack. He also loved challenges, even if it came to Soul Power alone.
Oglico gritted his teeth after Sansa was finished talking and began to take several steps back. "Everyone, you should really think twice about leaving me alone in this situation. If you don't help me, do you think you can deal with those twins, Hudi and Sansa? You'll all be attacked by them and lose this second test as well!"
Rean raised his hand as he said in response to Oglico's words, "The same goes for the rest of you. As long as you don't try anything funny, we won't do anything. Well, even if you do, would you really enter the range of our skills? Do you really want to battle the other cultivators or us?"
Sure enough, that was more than enough for everyone to distance themselves even more from Oglico.
Without any other choice, Oglico began to run away. He just had to hold on until keeping the plate floating became too hard without fully concentrating on it. Like that, he would still have a chance in the third test.
However, he was as badly injured as Difran's group. Besides...
"Oh, you're leaving already?" Sansa and Hudi covered his path of retreat. Somehow, they owed the twins for not dragging them into that mess a moment ago.
"You!"
Rean and Roan also appeared on the other side. However, Oglico didn't want to give up there. So...he selected the weakest target. 'Since I only have to care about myself, anyone in front of me is a target now. Even if they bring that dark area back, they're still Middle Stage Soul Transformation Realm cultivators. I only need one full-powered strike to take them down!'
Oglico then dashed forward in the direction of the twins...or so he tried. Just as Rean and Roan were about to retaliate, Sansa sent them a Divine Sense Message. 'Leave it to me.'
It turns out that Sansa had already expected something like this to happen, so she and Hudi acted first.
*Boom!*
Oglico then exchanged a few moves against Sansa and Hudi. Unfortunately for him, he was already very tired. Besides, Sansa and Hudi were both in the Initial Stage of the Saint Realm as well, just like him. Rean and Roan only watched them fight, doing nothing.
*Clang!*
Oglico didn't resist for much longer before he lost control over his Anti-Soul Power Plate. It fell on the ground, sealing his fate together with Diran's group. Sansa and Hudi, on the other hand, still had more than enough energy to spare.
Sansa then smiled back at the twins and said, "With that, we have probably spent somewhat the same amount of energy that you did in your plan. We're on even grounds now."
Rean laughed after hearing that. "Hahaha! You really are the prideful type."
Indeed. Sansa didn't want to gain an advantage for not using any energy at all during the Death World trap.. "It's good that you know."
