Chapter 2401 The Sudden Turn
Going back a few seconds in the past, just when the Vruves appeared, Grovan had already told all his companions that they would kill everyone other than Nolui. That said, his group quickly spread and charged at different opponents.
Everyone, naturally, noticed the other experts coming after them. However, little did they notice that Rean and Kentucky had purposely positioned themselves so that the Space-Time Realm enemies would end up selecting them as their targets.
As soon as the Vruve arrived, Nolui put his treasure that blocked Divine Senses away. He knew that the Vruves most likely used some other method to find his location. Not only that, but they also followed him without alarming his group.
With Nolui's treasure out, Rean and Kentucky could tell each of the experts' strengths with Rean's Divine Sense Bending Skill. He soon noticed that the Vruves had one Peak Stage Space-Time Realm expert, two Late-Stage, and two Initial Stage ones.
Kanglia was in this realm but at the Middle Stage, so she had to face the second Late Stage expert even though she would be at a disadvantage. Nolui faced the guy called Dengais, who was in the same realm and stage as him.
That left the two Initial Stage Space-Time Realm experts free to move. Once Rean and Kentucky positioned themselves, those two remaining Initial Stage Space-Time Realm experts from the Vruve immediately charged at them.
Everyone other than Kanglia, Kinglei, and Nolui was in the Elemental Space Realm, so these two Vruves didn't put them in their eyes at all. Especially since the Vruves were usually stronger than those at the same level.
Too bad, though. That overconfidence was the downfall of the first Space-Time Realm expert in this battle. Well, it wasn't like you could blame him. Although there was only one stage separating Rean and the guy, the Vruve who attacked him was in the Space-Time Realm. His ability to control Time Power was supposed to give him the ultimate advantage against anyone below this level.
Naturally, that wasn't the case for Rean. He pretended to try to flee while the enemy's Time Power forced him to slow down. While the enemy approached to deliver the killing blow, Rean even turned around and put his sword in front of him in a defensive form, seeming to be terrified.
Yet, just as the enemy's weapon was about to pierce Rean's head, Rean's Sky Energy, Sword Aura, Life World Domain, and Time Power immediately burst out at full strength. Rean dodged the sure-killing blow in the last instant while his sword changed direction. It was too fast, too sudden, too unexpected!
The heart of the Vruve was pierced, and Rean's Light and Dark Elements rampaged inside his body, completely destroying his meridians. Naturally, Rean was taking Dark Element from Roan inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.
"Jidambo!" Dengais shouted as his expression showed extreme shock. He could never have expected a Space-Time Realm expert from the Vruve Organization to die in the hands of an Elemental Space Realm expert from somewhere else. Too bad Rean was as strong as a Middle-Stage Space-Time Realm, though.
Rean didn't wait for everyone to recover from their surprise. That's because Kentucky, who was still pretending to be 'weak' until now, immediately acted after Rean killed the first opponent.
'Kawa Blade Domain!'
A field of Blade Feather appeared around his enemy. Rean's body moved at breakneck speed, and he took advantage of that Kentucky had led the other Space-Time Initial Stage Vruve near him. His Life World Domain instantly neutralized all the opponent's Domain Effects, including the beneficial ones for the enemy himself.
"Nafrak, careful!" Grovan, who was keeping his Divine Sense over the battlefield, immediately noticed Rean and Kentucky's aim. By now, he would need to be an idiot to not know that Rean and Kentucky were way, wayyyy stronger than their cultivation realms suggested.
He immediately tried to get away from Kinglei, but how could Kinglei allow that? "Hey, you are playing with me!"
Kinglei increased the pressure, giving Grovan no time to care about anyone else. As much as he hated to admit it, he had to admit that this Kinglei, someone who wasn't part of the Vruves, had a similar strength to his. "Crowley, help him!"
However, that wasn't the case for everyone. Nolui could still hold his own against Dengais and prevent him from intervening. However, Kanglia was at a disadvantage from the very start. Her cultivation was a realm lower than her enemy, the guy called Crowley, and she was a pretty average cultivator at that. If things continued like this, she would die in just a few minutes. Holding her enemy back and preventing him from bothering Rean and Kentucky? That was way outside her abilities.
Nafrak was instantly put on the backfoot against Rean and Kentucky. Especially since Rean's Time Powers made his own pretty useless against his opponent. As for his Domain, he was definitely using it, but he simply couldn't feel the effect at all, which was a first in his life.
*Bang, bang, bang!*
Rean and Kentucky bombarded the guy from everywhere, giving him almost no chance to defend. In a matter of a second, the injuries over Nafrak's body were already plenty. He was purposely letting Kentucky's Blade Feather Domain hit his body just so that he could focus on Rean and Kentucky themselves. That was his only chance of surviving as long as possible.
"Immortal Slahing Through the Heavens!"
Suddenly, a powerful wave of Sword Energy entered Rean and Kentucky's domain, aiming straight at the two of them. Rean and Kentucky dodged at the last moment, but that also forced them to let Nafrak retreat. Nafrak then quickly left Rean and Kentucky's Domain while Crowly stopped just outside, having noticed Rean's weird Domain ability. Yet, he sighed in relief. At least he saved Nafrak and could now turn the tides of this battle in their favor... or so he thought.
'Death Style, Death Scythe!'
*Arrrrghhh!*
It was then that another scream echoed through the battlefield as Nafrak's body went limp. At the height of his Dantian, a White Blade split his body in two!
Roan... decided to show himself!
