《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Rean and Kentucky then flew away from the mountain range as they talked about what happened with Roan. 'That was quite scary. I didn't expect that the connection between Kentucky and I could be sensed by others.'
Roan nodded in the Dimensional Realm as he felt the same. 'Indeed. However, that's probably because Phex is a Divine Demon Beast with very high cultivation. His senses are definitely many times better than the Blue Luan. If our cultivation was similar to his, I believe he wouldn't be able to feel it that easily.'
Kentucky couldn't help but sigh, saying, 'Still...to think that so many Divine Demon Beasts exist on this planet. Too bad this planet's special environment for them is of no use for me.'
Rean shrugged his shoulders as he said in response, 'You have nothing to complain about. Don't forget that you aren't nearly as old as Gulan, but you're already at Stage Five. Thanks to the Soul Gem System's support and our connection, I believe your cultivation is even faster than what this planet could provide you.'
Kentucky nodded, responding, 'I know that. Still, if I could also use the planet's special ability, it would be even better.' Kentucky then changed the topic as he soon said, 'Anyway, let's leave that aside for now. What about this war that will happen between the beasts and the Soul Rulers? Are we really following their orders?'
'Of course,' Roan replied as if stating a fact. 'Our cultivation is quite high now, so these kinds of missions will be perfect for finding opponents at our level. It's not because we can't run into the Dimensional Realm anymore that we'll just hide in a shell. You better be prepared. I'll increase the difficulty of your training routines from now on.'

Rean and Kentucky felt like crying after hearing that. Roan was too much of a battle maniac.
"Okay. But before that, we need to obtain the Heaven-level ores for our weapons. Kentucky, have you found any deposit during these past two weeks here?" Rean asked, slightly expectant.
Surprisingly, Kentucky nodded. "I did, however...it's in the direction of the city of Zasfins and demon beasts that Gulan mentioned before. Most likely, they aren't natural deposits, but accumulated ores that are being protected or used in trades."
"Well, the Blue Luan did say we could go there if we wanted to. Should we pay a visit?" Rean was quite curious about this city that had both Zasfins and demon beasts.
Roan agreed with the idea before Kentucky changed directions and headed towards the city. Although it was the biggest trading city between both sides, it was still quite far away from the mountain range. It took Kentucky and Rean two more days to arrive there.
As Kentucky looked from a distance, he saw many demon beasts flying in and out of the city. Not only that, but it was also possible to see Zasfins doing the same thing. Rean and Kentucky looked at each other and nodded before Kentucky also flew over.
The city had many guards, both Zasfins and demon beasts. The streets were extremely large, while the buildings had ridiculously big entrances. However, that made sense. This was a place where Zasfins could trade with high-level demon beasts. Naturally, those demon beasts were very big and needed a similarly big place to conduct their businesses.
No one stopped Kentucky from entering the city, though. From the looks of it, as long as one didn't cause trouble, one was free to enter and leave at any time.
However, what surprised them was the fact that the city had some humans as well. It's just that their numbers were several times lower than the average cities outside the Demon Beast Continent. Not only that, with their Spiritual Sense, Rean and Kentucky saw many of them not having slave collars. Not to mention that he saw a few at the Core and Soul Fusion Realm and, surprisingly, two at the Nascent Soul Realm, just like him!

Puzzled by the view, Rean asked Kentucky to ask one of the demon beasts in the area about that.
"Oh, that? Here in the Demon Beast Continent, we don't need slaves. We only care about strength. That being said, your race matters little. Naturally, you'll see a few humans who survived in this dangerous environment. It's that simple. Nevertheless, compared to the number of Zasfins and demon beasts here, they count for almost nothing. Well, it's definitely better than being a slave in any other place," a Green Colored Lizard explained, who was taking care of one of the buildings. Obviously, he was also at Stage Five.
Rean then took a deep breath before stepping out of Kentucky's back. This time, however, the slave collar he replaced was nowhere to be found as Rean sent it to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Of course, he still used a different appearance as always, just to be safe. "To think I would be able to walk on a city without pretending to be a slave..."
Kentucky didn't care much about that, though. All he could think about was the delicious Heaven-level ores that he sensed in this place. "Can we go take a look at the ores already?"
Rean nodded before they made their way to one of the stores. Well, you couldn't call it a store exactly as it was more like a cave heading underground. If not for the sign at the front, Rean would think it was some demon beast's lair.
After heading down, they arrived at a dim space where a few Earth-type demon beasts and Earth Affinity Zasfins conducted trades. Kentucky's eyes couldn't help but light up as he looked around him. From the looks of it, there was no lack of Heaven-level ores in this cave. "Rean, Rean! There are a lot of Heaven-level ores here. They go from Low to Peak-level ones! Quick, let's see if they wanna trade!"
Rean laughed and nodded, saying, "Alright, alright. However, my limit is only Heaven Middle-level ores. I can't work on Heaven High or Peak-level ores yet. Besides, they'll probably be too expensive for us, so be prepared if we can't get any."
