Death... and me



Once again, Rean approached the border of the Formation and touched one of its runes that was connected to the Sphere. Immediately, a flow of memories began to stream into his mind. The problem was that there were too many of them, and they were all broken into pieces.

*Argh!*

That wasn't all. The memories also put a great burden on Rean's mind, making it very hard to piece them together. This time, however, Rean used his connection with Roan and also Sister Orb to help deal with the load. As mentioned before, the twins could share their memories, but they could also prevent it from happening if they wished. Usually, they never allowed the other to watch as they simply didn't like each other. Above all, they weren't exactly a big fan of Sister Orb seeing them either, so they kept them closed for her as well.

[So many things...] Even Sister Orb, with the help of the system, was having some difficulty putting things together.

Roan narrowed his eyes as he could feel the same burden to his soul as Rean was feeling. Nonetheless, he used his Sky Energy to strengthen his mind and keep his thoughts clean. 'Don't mess this up. Make sure you separate these memories from your own so that you won't have some identity conflict later.'

'I know that,' Rean immediately answered while resisting the pain. 'If I see that my own memories are getting messed up, I will immediately stop. Fortunately, when it comes to the strength of the soul, I'm even better than you with my Light Element, so you should be the one to be careful about it.'

'It's easier for the Underworld to become a land of living beings than me losing my mind before you,' Roan answered straight away.

[You two stop bickering and help piece the memories together. So far, we are only getting a lot of jumbled-up shit. Since I have the highest mental capacity with the system's help, I'll lead the connections. You two just follow my lead. However, be ready to teleport away. If things go south, just throw me at the Fragment so that I can use the others to absorb it, and then can we try our escape.]

Rean and Roan nodded and used Sister Orb's ability to begin to make sense of everything that was entering their minds. Of course, they weren't idiots. Although the Fragment somehow received the past events of the Archangel's life, they knew it wouldn't be his entire life. Just how old that guy was? It would be ridiculous. All Rean and Roan wanted to get something worth using against the Archangel that could stop the Formation and the battle.

Minutes passed as Luan watched the outside. He could see that Roan was still working on the memories and began to get nervous. "Father, the ghostly powers of the Wraith are almost gone. I think it won't take long for the creatures to get come after us again."

Roan shifted a little of his attention to ask. "How's Jeskli and the Archangel's battle?"

Luan focused all his energy on his eyes as he looked at the explosions of Divine Origin Energy in the distance. "It is hard to make anything out of their fight. However, I can tell that the overall Divine Origin Energy they are deploying is falling fast. Both of them will run out of energy soon. Of course, one of them might just be pretending to get weaker, or perhaps both are doing it."

Roan nodded. "Let me know as soon as the ghostly power is gone. We will enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm as soon as it is gone."

"Alright," Luan accepted the order and kept his focus on everything.

Meanwhile, Jeskli and the Archangel were looking quite tired.

'Divine Yin Yang Claws!'

Jeskli came from above, rotating his body as Light and Dark Elements filled his claws. The Yin and Yang Energies filled each of them, causing the Space around them to fracture.

The Archangel wasn't any slower. His wings burst with Light Element and Yang Energy, which quickly fused with his two spears. Time and Space mixed in their tips as the Archangel counter-attacked.

'Heaven Piercer!'

*Bam!*

*Bzzzzzzzzzzz!*

The Elements, Space, Divine Origin Energy, and Time clashed against each other. None of the two held back at all, creating several spatial rifts as Space and Time went into disarray. For them, at the Archangel and Divinity Realm levels, the Spatial Rifts weren't much of a concern. They were dangerous, but they would need to be a lot bigger and more powerful to affect the two.

Nonetheless, they were quickly running out of Divine Origin Energy. If things continued like this, even those Spatial Rifts would begin to get dangerous. Without the energy to defend themselves, the Spatial Rifts could definitely tear the two apart.

*Crack, crack, crack...*

*Boom!*

Suddenly, three of Jeskli's claws broke, causing the accumulated energy to explode and one again force the two apart. Jeskli landed several hundred meters away, gasping nonstop.

One of the Archangel's Spears also had its tip cracked. It didn't completely break, but it definitely wasn't far away from it. The Archangel couldn't help but feel some pain in his heart. Only he knows how much effort he put into acquiring those two spears.

However, he quickly put those thoughts behind him as he glanced into the distance. He was the only one capable of using Divine Sense in this place since he was the owner of the formations. That said, he obviously saw when Rean entered the Cubic Light Barrier. It left him baffled to see someone who wasn't an angel get inside that place, but there was nothing he could do.

Yet, even after several minutes, nothing happened. He knew that he left no other protection in the Formation inside the Cubic Light Barrier. Even someone at Rean's level should be capable of destroying it if given enough time. 'I can't delay it much longer.'

The Archangel then looked at the Spear that had its tip almost broken and made a decision. His wings flashed with Light Element, and he shot himself against Jeskli once again.

Jeskli wouldn't just look at the incoming enemy, so he also attacked. He was a Minokawa, famous for their body defenses. If anything, he welcomed melee combat.

Yet, just as the two were about to reach each other, the Archangel threw the Spear that had its tip cracked.

"Explode!"
