Death… And Me

Roan then sheathed his Black Star and shook his head soon after as he said.

"Leave them. They're way too fast. We won't be able to catch them, nor do we know if they have reinforcements coming in our direction."

The others nodded in response before entering the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.  Rean, of course, stayed out and resumed his flight together with Roan and Kentucky. Their main worry at the moment was to get away from this place as fast as possible.

*Creeee!*

Kentucky then flapped his wings and began to fly away once again. This time, Rean had him follow a slightly different direction than they were heading a moment ago. At the same time, Roan connected his mind to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

'Frandin, can all Zasfins use that kind of skill?'

Frandin shook his head as he answered.

[No. From what I know, you must reach a certain level of Soul Power. Otherwise, you can't activate it. From what I know, you use your entire Soul Power to activate the Bloodline Mark. The Bloodline Mark will then consume it completely, not leaving anything behind. In exchange, it will give you that power. But as I mentioned before, once the energy is spent, you will forever lose your Soul Power, while the Bloodline Mark will disappear.]

'How much Soul Power do you need? Also, does it depend on your age like the trial requirements?'

[It has nothing to do with age. As long as you reach the right amount of Soul Power, you can use it. However, the higher the rank of your Bloodline Mark, the higher your Soul Power must be. For example, those two had Rank Three Bloodline Marks on their foreheads, so they needed 300 points of Soul Power. Of course, they probably had much more than that. It's just that 300 points is the bare minimum for one to use it.]

Roan nodded. That put some light into the situation.

'Now, then. Why didn't you tell us about that?'

[Who the hell would be crazy enough to challenge Nascent Soul Realm Zasfins with Core Formation Realm cultivation? I've never thought you would even see such a thing in your life, so it obviously didn't even pass through my mind.]

Roan narrowed his eyes after hearing that but decided to leave it be. The fact that Frandin still contacted them in time at least helped his words. After all, he could have just stayed quiet, but he still warned them in the end before they tried to attack Jamil and Lucas.

[By the way, where the hell am I? Do you really need to imprison me like this? Also, how exactly can I see your fight even though I'm not by your side?]

Rean sighed in response before he used his control over the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to summon Frandin out of jail. Naturally, he appeared right above Kentucky as well.

"Ah!"

He immediately got down and held Kentucky's feather. This sudden action was too unexpected.

"Ho-how did you do that?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he said.

"Are you an idiot? This is a special technique that only the humans of our world can use. You should have deduced this much at least."

Well, that was obviously a lie. However, Frandin was forced to believe since he had never seen anything like this before. If it wasn't a skill from their world, then what would it be?

"This..."

Eventually, Frandin calmed down and slowly sat on Kentucky's back.

"No wonder your friends appeared and disappeared everywhere. You can carry everyone together with you without anyone noticing. Your world's techniques are really a sight to behold."

Roan ignored his compliment before asking.

"That guy used his Soul Power to track us down. Can he do that again? I could feel my energy inside his body, just a tiny bit. I can tell that he used it to find our location."

Frandin pondered for a bit before saying.

"In theory, as long as it's a Soul Power skill, he should be able to. However, those two lost all their Soul Power after they activated the Soul Eater skill. That being said, they will need to ask someone else to drag the energy of your attacks from their bodies to track you down."

Frandin then continued.

"However, I find it hard to believe they will let anyone do that."

"Why?"

"Because they just lost their Soul Power. The last thing they want in this world is that others know that they can't use Soul Power anymore. The moment they reveal everything, they will lose all their positions. Besides, letting others know that they ended up like that because of humans would definitely consolidate this. If they know what's good for them, they will keep a low profile from now on, never to let anyone know what happened. At the very least, I would do so."

Rean's group had seen just how much the Zasfins disdained the humans, so they could imagine that happening. With a planet lacking Spiritual Energy like this one, Nascent Soul Realm cultivators probably had a much higher position than the Nascent Soul ones from their world, after all.

Frandin hit the bullseye when he said that. After Lucas and Jamil's Soul Power ran out, their Bloodline Marks disappeared together with the rest of their Soul Power Source. Without any other choice, they had to stop somewhere to recover from their injuries a little. 

After that, the two returned to Fhanzen City and met up with each other again. Obviously, only the two of them were present. Lucas then looked at Jamil, trying to control his temper.

"Jamil, this is all your fault!"

Jamil wasn't feeling any better either.

"Shut up! Do you think I know what could happen? Don't forget that I also lost my Soul Power forever! I had just reached the necessary Soul Power Points to take the Rank Four Bloodline Trial! But look at me now..."

Lucas was a little surprised to hear that. Still, he quickly recovered since it didn't matter anymore.

"I'll warn you. You better not let anyone know what happened."

Jamil nodded as he said.

"Obviously! Do you think I want to lose my position as the Kastran City's City Lord? Make sure you also keep your mouth shut."

Lucas nodded after that. However, just as he was about to ask what they would do, someone had entered the room.

"Big brother! How was it? Did you capture that human?"

It was none other than Falin, Jamil's younger brother. He had an excited expression on his face after hearing that his big brother was back. He had been waiting for too long to take revenge on Roan and Calina, so he couldn't wait to put his hand on them.

However, the moment he asked that question, a light flashed on Jamil's hand before it pierced through Falin's heart.

"Bi-Big brother..."

Falin's eyes widened as he looked at Jamil's weapon on his chest. He couldn't believe Jamil did such a thing.

"All of it just happened because of your actions. Because of you, I can never go up in the ranks again. Just die already, you useless piece of trash!"

Falin wanted to ask why Jamil did that. Unfortunately, his vision began to turn dark before he fell to the ground. He would never know the answer to his doubts.

Jamil then looked in the direction where he and Lucas battled the humans.

"I won't let it end like this."
