Death… And Me

Chapter 563 - Forging

Frandin only had Rank One Spirit Stones with him. However, Spirit Stones were much rarer on this planet, so it was more than enough for him to rent a place. It's just that he couldn't help but feel a bit sad to see his Spirit Stones disappear like that.

Rean ignored him, though. He verified the workshop before asking Sister Orb.

'How is it, Sister Orb? Is anyone able to peer through it?'

[No, it's fine. There's a formation in this room, but it's related to the workshop itself. There are no formations used for spying in this place. Of course, you should still create a simple concealing one, just in case.]

Rean nodded as he took the materials for the formation out. Rean made a very basic formation that any Core Formation Realm cultivator's Spiritual Sense would be able to pass through. However, it wasn't there to stop others but to serve as a warning.

After that, Rean finally turned on the forger and began to make more Earth High-Level Equipment. At the moment, that was the best way to make a ton of money quickly.

While Rean occupied himself in the workshop, Roan and the others continued their training in the Demon Beasts' Core Region. It was then that Roan received a message from Rean through their Soul Connection.

'And that's about it, so I should stay in Lumeria City for the next few days.'

'I see. I know you want to buy that robe with the Yin Energy Inscriptions. However, make sure to forge more weapons, so we have some Spirit Stones for cultivation.'

Rean nodded as he replied.

'I know. However, after this auction is over, we will definitely attract a lot of attention because of the weapons I made. That being said, we better continue our travel once I finish buying everything.'

Roan didn't mind.

'Very well. Let me know when you're ready.'

Roan then looked in front of him before jumping to the side.

*Bang!*

Roan was battling a few demon beasts with Qia and Malaka when he received Rean's message. However, he didn't stop. It was as if Rean's words had no effect on his concentration at all.

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

*Swish! Swish! Swish!*

With that attack, the demon beast fell to the ground, dead. However, that was far from over. Their group wasn't being attacked by a lone strong beast, but by a lot of them.

'Myriad Water Frame!'

Water Element gathered around Malaka before a few copies of herself appeared around. However, hers were different from Rean and Roan's skill. They were just illusions and had no attack power whatsoever.

Still, that was more than enough to trick the eyes of the Demon Beasts.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

Malaka's Staff moved everywhere, hitting the demon beast's heads. Each strike put one of them down. Some were lucky and just went unconscious. However, the majority had their heads smashed inwards by Malaka's Staff.

'Sand Storm!'

Qia, on the other hand, had an Earth Element Affinity. However, she was already able to use two elements at the same time. The second Element she excelled at was Wind. In her eyes, she could have the best defense and speed with those two. Not to mention that a few good combinations came from it.

The Demon Beasts around her couldn't help but close their eyes. With that, Calina had the chance to counter-attack.

'Earth Spikes!'

*Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!*

Many of the demon beasts were immediately killed off guard as the Earth Spikes pierced through their bodies. Qia just so happened to be like Calina, someone who didn't use weapons.

Roan looked at that and gave a mental nod.

'As expected of the Imperial Family. Although she isn't at Calina's level, she did receive very good training. As for Malaka, there are no problems. She's able to use her master's skills without issues. The same could be said about the Death Style Skills. All they need is more as their cultivation goes up. After all, our powers change a lot with each breakthrough.'

Somewhere else, Calina and Agis were also fighting. However, without Rean to give any Light Element Support, their prowess wasn't as good.

Still, Calina and Agis's combat power wasn't low. They just had to be more cautious with the enemies they chose to fight against. At the moment, they were fighting against an Initial Stage Four Armored Snow Bear. Agis wasn't as strong as Calina, but he definitely didn't hold her back. Besides, when it came to raw attack power, Agis was still superior because he used a weapon. With their power combined, they could more or less match that Snow Bear.

Later that day, in the auction house.

"What? Did they disappear from your view? Did they notice your presence, or were they being cautious?"

The man shook his head as he replied.

"I'm not sure. However, I don't think that Zasfin was the real person in command. He was probably being used by someone else. After all, an Initial Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator like him wouldn't possibly escape my eyes."

Paciu, the appraiser that received Rean and Frandin, narrowed his eyes as he said.

"Forget it. I was just hoping to find who forged these weapons. If possible, I wanted to make a deal with him or her. Spiritual Weapons are always in high demand, after all. If the other side is skilled enough to escape from your watch, it's better not to try anything that could irritate them. You can leave now."

The subordinate nodded and quickly disappeared from the room, leaving Paciu behind.

'I should take the chance and ask them about it once again when they appear next time. I can't let such a good deal slip through my fingers that easily.'

Paciu then called another employee of the auction before saying.

"If you see those two again, make sure to call me straight away."

The employee knew who Paciu was talking about, so he immediately nodded.

"Yes, Senior Paciu."

And just like that, three days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Frandin was forced to help him with the entire forging process. However, Frandin couldn't help but feel excited. That's because he was seeing and learning how to forge Spiritual Weapons himself. Since he was a hostage anyway, he might as well use it in his favor.

The only problem was that Rean never answered his questions. It was obvious that Rean had no intention of teaching him. It was basically a coincidence that Frandin was there to help with the forging process. Eventually, Rean put his tool back into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm's workshop.

"Phew... I forged all of them in a hurry, so they ended up as sub-par products. Nevertheless, they should match this world's High-Level equipment. Now that I think about it, the auction house got quite a good deal with those five weapons of mine. Those ones can definitely be compared to Peak-Level weapons."

Frandin was surprised to hear that.

"Is that true? Is it possible to make Spiritual Weapons stronger than their material's level?"

Rean looked at Frandin as he smiled.

"It is, as long as it's me who's making them. Hahaha!"

Rean then passed the weapons to Frandin before saying.

"Alright, the auction house should be close to its opening of the week. Let's head back there and give these weapons to be auctioned as well."

Frain looked at the 13 pieces of equipment that Rean made in the last three days. Without a doubt, he would make a lot more Rank Two Spirit Stones than he needed to buy that robe.

"Isn't it a bit too dangerous to bring this amount out?"

Rean looked at Frandin with a puzzled expression as he replied.

"Why would you care? If something goes wrong, there would be a better chance for you to capture me, no?"

Frandin was taken aback by those worlds.

"This..."

Rean laughed as he looked at Frandin's expression.

"Hahaha! You saw that I can heal the poison in your body without using the antidote pills Roan gave you. Naturally, you would think that everything will be okay if you somehow banded the Zasfins around to capture me. After that, you just need to force me to heal your poison again. However, you were also afraid that I would escape. If that happened, you would be 100% dead since there would be no antidote for you."

Frandin dropped his head and didn't deny those words. In fact, one had to be an idiot to not think at least that much after seeing Rean's healing powers.

"It's fine, it's fine. I'm not angry or anything. It's obvious to me and the others how much your Zasfin Race hates humans. However, I would not try anything weird if I were you. Don't forget, I was able to leave Danve City even though your father came out. If a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator couldn't stop me, then no one you could possibly get in contact with could. Well, if you aren't afraid of dying from the poison, be my guest and try it out. I don't mind leaving you behind and capturing a new Pure Bloodline Zasfin to serve in your place."

Fradin couldn't help but let out cold sweat. His instincts told him that Rean wasn't joking at all. If he wanted to, he would leave, and no one would be able to stop him.

"Don't worry. I won't do such a thing. Also... I do despite the humans of our world. However, I have a slightly different opinion about your group since you aren't from here to start with. At the very least, you definitely aren't anything like the other humans around."

Rean shrugged his shoulders, not minding it too much.

"Well, that's up to you. Let's head to the auction house."
