Chapter 239 - Do You Wanna Die?
Rean then sent a Spiritual Sense Message to her.
'How was it?'
Malaka understood what Rean was trying to ask, responding.
'That Luvoni guy was quite powerful. If he was just a little bit faster, I would have lost for sure. I can't do any better than that... sorry.'
'Enough! You did great! You defeated someone an entire cultivation level above your own. There is nothing to be sorry about. I'm very proud of you, and I'm sure that Roan would be as well.'
Unfortunately for him, Roan wasn't happy at all. Roan then began to make his way to where those two were staying. However, just as he was about to put an end to the show, a person stepped out of the crowd.
"Inna Malaka, right? Would you accept my challenge as well?"
Rean and Malaka looked in the voice's direction, just to see another girl who didn't look much older than Malaka herself. She was perhaps around 12, or at most, 13 years old. Her cultivation was at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Turns out she had blue eyes and blond hair, quite a rare sight in a place like the Sasamil Empire. However, she used similar clothes as the man who took Roan's Yin Ice Ore.
Immediately, most of the onlookers shook their heads. Even a Red Aptitude with a Middle Stage Core Formation Realm cultivation lost to Malaka. What does this girl intend to achieve against the little monster?
However, contrary to the others, Rean and Roan narrowed their eyes.
Malaka immediately smiled after hearing that, though.
"But of course! However, it will cost 100 Rank Three Spirit Stones, just like everyone else."
The girl didn't mind and immediately took the stones out. She then proceeded to her side of the stage while showing an unperturbed expression.
'Malaka, be careful. That girl isn't simple.'
She was taken aback for a second but laughed afterward.
'It's okay, I will finish it very fast. After that, you need to take me out to get some good food!'
Rean didn't try to stop her. Just now, he received a message from Roan saying to let her go. From the looks of it, both the twins felt something weird from that girl that was going to challenge Malaka.
The challenge this time was one of the most common ones. Target destroying. They would need to control the pond's water while the Water Element Disruption Formation was active to hit them. Those targets would appear anywhere above in the air, and it was up to them how they would do that. As one could imagine, the girl who destroyed most of the targets would win in the end. As for the duration of the competition, it would only last for one minute.
As Malaka arrived at the pond, Roan appeared beside Rean and Kentucky like a ghost. Still, neither of them seemed to be surprised.
'Is that what I think it is?'
Roan nodded.
'Definitely.'
The trial quickly started as the target appeared in mid-air one after another. Malaka did her best to destroy them since she knew that hiding her real strength would be meaningless at this point. The other girl did the same thing and began to summon Water Icicles, which she also shot in the air.
Water Icicles kept flying and hitting the targets nonstop. Turns out that both girls were quite similar in terms of proficiency. Yet, while Malaka seemed to be putting a lot of effort into it, her opponent appeared to be taking things in a relatively lax manner.
Soon, 30 seconds passed. Malaka had a small lead, having destroyed 14 targets while her opponent got 13 in total. All of the spectators began to feel excited. This was the first time that Malaka seemed to be struggling against one opponent. Still, none of them knew where that blond girl came from either.
However, no one expected what happened next. Suddenly, that girl summoned several Water Icicles, which were obviously much stronger than the previous ones, and shot them all at once. It's just that... they were all aimed at Malaka!
Malaka was still trying to destroy as many targets as possible while looking at the sky. If those Water Icicles connected, grievous injuries would be the best outcome. Death was a lot more probable. After all, Malaka didn't have any defense up at all!
However...
'Life Style, First Form, Enhancement!'
'Death Style, First Defensive Form, Reversive Arcs!'
Rean and Roan appeared in front of Malaka in a flash of black and white light, destroying all of the Icicles at once!
The girl was a bit surprised by Rean and Roan's sudden appearance. However, her smile didn't disappear.
Soon after, the Water Icicles that the girl had used to attack the targets in the air came down. Turns out that those ones were the real attacks. The first ones were only there to catch the attention of any possible protectors, leaving them with no time to react to the killing blow.
Unfortunately for her, another flash of white and black light appeared right above Malaka... Kentucky!
Kentucky's body then burst with Black and White Flames as his feathers and scales hardened.
*Bam, bam, bam, bam...!*
The Water Icicles hit his body but failed to leave as much as a single cut. Rean and Roan didn't seem to be the least bit surprised, though. The moment they moved out, they had noticed Kentucky's movement as well, aiming for the Water Icicles in the air. They were well aware of Kentucky's terrifying defense as well. Not to mention that the Water Icicles in the air were a lot weaker than the previous ones.
Well, he was still sent kicking like a ball because of that...
It was only at this moment did the girl's face show some shock.
The twins' expression was as dark as it could be, though. They had been paying attention to that girl because they could feel Yin Energy far above what a woman's body should be able to produce coming from her. Of course, they only noticed that because Roan was a Yin Energy Receptor himself. As for Rean, he had his Soul connected to Roan, so he could feel it as well. If not for that, they definitely wouldn't have arrived in time.
Right now, Roan had the worst expression on his face as he said.
"Do you wanna die?!"
