《Death… And Me》Death... And Me
Advertisement
Elder Buran saw the Light and Dark Element coming back and forth from Rean and Roan. However, he didn't want to give them time to use any skill, so he immediately stomped the ground.
'Earth Spike!'
Buran was much closer to the twins this time, so the earth spikes came out a lot faster. Not only that, but they came from behind the twins. Both the Earth Spikes pierced through Rean and Roan's bodies, quickly impaling them from the back. Seeing that, Elder Buran smiled, satisfied.
However, his smile quickly froze. That's because both Rean and Roan suddenly became specks of Light and Dark energy that drifted away.
'Not good!'
From both his sides, Rean and Roan appeared simultaneously!
'Death Style, Thrid Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'
Six sword slashes came at Buran. He knew that all of them were real, so he did not try to block them. Instead, he once again stomped on the ground, shooting himself in the air.
Roan's eyes narrowed, seeing that. Buran's reaction was much faster than he expected. However, it wasn't over. Out of nowhere, another Rean and Roan appeared from behind Buran, also rushing at him right after he jumped.
'Death Style, Fourth Form, Soaring Dragon!'
Buran couldn't believe it. He can see Rean and Roan on the ground, so where did these two come from? Not only that, he saw that the Rean and Roan on the ground used skills. Now, their copies were also doing the same thing, using skills!
'How are they doing it?'
Still, he didn't have time to think.
'Harden!'
Suddenly, his Earth Armor seemed to transform into metal!
*Clang, Clang*
The two Fourth Forms of the Death Style hit Buran. Blood gushed out, leaving deep cuts on his body. Not only that, but Roan's Dark Element immediately entered his body, destroying his Life Force while causing immense pain.

"Argh!"
Still, Buran was at the Late Stage of the Core Formation Realm. His Spiritual Energy pool was much bigger and stronger. He quickly channeled it on his injuries, promptly stopping the bleeding and locking Roan's Dark Element in place.
However, Rean and Roan didn't have any intention of giving him time to recover. They calculated his descending path and immediately rushed there. At the same time, the two energy clones that used the Fourth Form of the Death Style disappeared. On the ground, another two clones quickly took their place.
Those two clones immediately changed their instance and used their long-ranged attack at the falling Buran.
'Death Style, First Form, Stellar Piercer!'
Buran noticed the two rays of Black and White Energy coming at him. However, he was prepared this time.
'Release, Gather!'
In a split of a second, his Earth Armor separated from his body and gathered in the form of a boulder under his feet. Buran then used that same boulder to change his falling position straight away.
Because of that, both clones' Stellar Piercers missed their target by a hair. Not only that, but the real Rean and Roan had to adjust their positions as well. Roan couldn't help but feel surprised by Buran's reaction. The Stellar Piercers were extremely fast, but he was still able to respond in time.
Of course, he knew why it was that. Buran had seen the twins using the Stellar Piercer before. So when he noticed the clones' instances, he knew that the long-ranged attacks would come. Still, that wasn't something that just anyone could pull off. It showed just how much experience Buran had in combat and especially how well he knew himself and his own skills.
Of course, Rean and Roan were not slow. Since they couldn't pinpoint the right position of his fall in time, they might as well hit the entire area!

'Death Style, Second Form, Crescent Moon!'
Buran saw the two big arcs of White and Dark energy coming at him. This time, however, he wasn't idiot enough to put himself in mid-air with another jump.
"Hmph! Just because you injured me, do you think you have the advantage?!"
As soon as he touched the ground, he didn't stop. Instead, his body went underground at speed even faster than his descent was!
The twins were taken aback by that. However, Roan's cold mind didn't let the two of them lose focus. He immediately looked at Rean and nodded.
Rean understood what he meant and nodded as well.
Light Element once again gathered around Rean. However, it was not an attack this time. Suddenly, Rean and Roan jumped back in a specific direction. As for the place where they were a moment ago, another two earth spikes appeared in a flash. This time, the Earth Spikes came out of the ground at least twice as faster. If not for their timely reaction, they would definitely have been hit by them.
Yet, Rean and Roan didn't stop. They kept jump right and left, back and forth, avoid several Earth Spikes that could come from anywhere. It was as if they predicted every attack.
The observers, Okrin, Lana, and Westren, were shocked by that. However, they were not as shocked as Buran himself!
'What?! Dodging once could be attributed to luck, but not several times in a roll. My cultivation is over an entire realm above theirs. It should be impossible for them to find my presence with Spiritual Sense while I'm hidden in the ground. Just how can they tell where I am?!'
That's because Rean was using Buran's Life Force to find his location under them. He might be able to hide his presence from Spiritual Energy, but as long as he is alive, he won't be able to conceal his Life Force!
'Keep dodging. This kind of Earth tunneling and fast Earth Element materialization definitely spends a lot of Spiritual Energy. If he continues like this, he will run out of energy way before we do.'
Rean nodded and did as Roan said.
Sure enough, the sudden flash spikes stopped in just a few moments. However, that didn't mean Buran gave up.
"You were really a surprise. In that case, let's see how you deal with this."
Suddenly, two different Elements gathered around Buran's body. Rean and Roan were shocked to see both elements flowing into the ground. This was the first time they had seen someone using more than a single element other than themselves.
"It's Water and Earth... He can use Wood Element!"

TTWN: The Tale of Will Newbie
This series is inspired by the music of TheFatRat, please take a look if you don't know who he is here. Everyone wants to live in a fantasy world, right up until they have to face dark beings beyond their comprehension. Everyone wants to be a hero, right up until every day becomes a fight for their life. Sixteen-year-old introvert Will Newbie lives in a fantasy world. He's the hero of this story. He has been left with nothing; after a brief adventure in the mountains near his home, he returns to find his entire home missing, every person mysteriously vanishing into thin air. All that's left for him is his rather, "disembodied" older sister and the quest given to him by a rat-turned-god: Gather a team of Champions, fight back against the forces of Sin, and save the world. But if he's learned anything, it's that being a hero isn't as easy as it sounded in the books. So, he'll have to keep himself together, keep his team from tearing each other apart, and figure out just how much he's willing to sacrifice for what he believes in. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! This is my first fully written story, so I want to improve. Positive or negative, I'll take it into account! I will try to update weekly every Friday, but as I'm pretty new to this kinda grind expect some irregularities. The covers are also by moi, done in Pixel Studio. Quite proud of them, really.

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK TWO: One Cold Trail)
After their fateful misadventure in the mountainous Norther Reaches of RUNDAO, a dark new threat to all of RUNDAO has been revealed to the mercenary band of THE CREEPING BAM and their newest member, half-orc bandit SHAYLINE SWIFT-KILL. Returning their hard-won cargo to THE SILVER ORDER in their city stronghold in BAVAT, they find their well-deserved rest will have to rest – half-elf wizard GAEL FOXTAIL’s father has disappeared while performing an investigation in the coastal city of UNTERMER, and it’s up to our motley crew to find him. As a son of Untermer, wily bakaneko thief ART OF SHADOWS is the perfect choice to lead the way, but he has ghosts of his own to face as their investigation brings them into the orbit of the THIEVES GUILD. But there are daker forces at work here, and as they uncover a dark conspiracy and form an uneasy alliance with a trio of tough sellswords with their own stake in the game, led by dwarven warrior THELGAEWYNN FROSTFORGE, the Creeping Bam begin to suspect this may be connected to that unfinished business they started back up north … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.
