《Death… And Me》Death... And Me
Advertisement
The battles between the demon beasts and Zasfins naturally continued. Rean, Roan, and Kentucky, obviously, used those chances to fight and train. At the same time, they accumulated Merit Points to buy the airship. However, their effect in the battles was just too small.
One must remember the size of this world and how many Zasfins and demon beasts there were. Although they were changing destiny in the areas where they fought, it was extremely far from enough to generate a good number of Destiny Points. Rean considered if he should give his Circuitry Formation blueprints to the Zasfins. That way, they could build the communication system, just like in Sunkan Planet, for Destiny Points.
However, he quickly threw that idea away. After all, that would help the Zasfins win the war, not the demon beasts. With a reward of a small continent on the table for the humans, Rean couldn't possibly allow the Zasfins to get an advantage.
Well, he couldn't give it to the demon beasts either. After all, almost no demon beast knew how to draw formations. They definitely wouldn't ask for the Zasfins' help on it, either. Besides, although there were bound to be a few demon beasts who know of formations, showing his blueprints to them might have the opposite effect when it came to the twins' safety. One must remember that it wasn't possible to enter the Dimensional Realm anymore if danger appeared.
And just like that, four years had gone by. Rean's group didn't receive missions straight away. There was always an interval of a few weeks to a couple of months between them, so the accumulation of Merit Points wasn't that fast.
However, there was good news. First, no one came to check their valley anymore. It was as if even Gulan forgot it existed. He simply used the Mountain Bull, who was in the other Spiritual Vein in the twins' territory, to deliver the jade slips with the tasks.

Second, Rean and Roan alone might not be much, but when put together with the other humans of the Demon Beast Continent, they were doing quite well for the demon beasts in the war. If things continued like that and the demon beasts won, they would really deserve that reward.
Another thing was that Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis had finally broken through to the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Well, Kentucky and Celis had reached the equivalent of it, Middle Stage Five Demon Beast...or Tree in Celis's case. Although the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the valley wasn't comparable to the concentration in the Soul Rulers' headquarters before they took Celis away, they were still cultivating as one.
Celis, especially, was always absorbing Spiritual Energy, pulling Rean, Roan, and Kentucky's cultivation with him when they weren't cultivating themselves. With that, their results got quite close to what they had in the Soul Rulers' headquarters. Not to mention that the war between the demon beasts and Zasfins was happening. Rean, Kentucky, and Roan weren't lacking in opponents.
The twins even fought another Soul Transformation Realm Zasfin after that. However, this guy was only at the Initial Stage. Now that they were in the Middle Stage, they were able to get rid of that Zasfin. Of course, if that Zasfin had focused on defense or escaping, it wouldn't have been so simple. However, which Zasfin would flee in front of Nascent Soul Realm humans and a Stage Five Demon Beast? Just like the first one, he completely underestimated the twins' group, dying in the process.
The twins were also able to accumulate quite some wealth in terms of Spirit Stones. Now that they were only fighting enemies at the Nascent Soul Realm and above, they got a lot of spoils. That second Soul Transformation Realm Zasfin even had a Spatial Collar, which was worth a lot of money. As for Spirit Stones, most of them had at least a few Rank Four ones. So they had acquired a little bit over 20000 of them.

Of course, that was only possible since no Stage Seven or Saint Realm expert has joined the fray so far. Otherwise, those who usually observed the battles would definitely have stopped the twins.
The twins weren't the only ones who have improved during this time. Back in the valley, the same four years had gone by. As one could imagine, Malo and the other Purple Talent kids had all advanced into the Core Formation Realm as a result. Of course, there were those with Red Color Aptitude, while some had Blue Color Aptitude. As one could imagine, the group that first entered the Foundation Establishment Realm was at the forefront, with most of them already at the Middle or Late Stage of the Core Formation Realm. Malo, especially, was at the peak of that realm.
No, calling all of them 'kids' wouldn't work anymore. After all, Malo and the others were already 13 years old before the war started. With that said, they were all 17 now, with Malo very close to becoming 18. It's just that there were many kids who were babies or below 10 years old back then, so most of them were still kids.
Rean and Roan couldn't help but feel a little jealous. If only they had these conditions back then, they would probably be just as fast, and that's considering their bigger Spiritual Energy Pools.
'As expected of Purple Color talents. They're terrifying,' Rean and Roan could not help but mutter inwardly several times during these past few years.
However, talent could only bring them so far. Until now, the kids in the valley had been sparring against each other or using Rean's formations to fight fake opponents. Unfortunately, that wasn't cutting it anymore. Roan could clearly see their lack in combat experience, or to be more exact, the lack of danger of dying. It was due time to let them head out and gain experience. It's just that the area they were in was a terrible choice. After all, the Tribes' Zone was mostly occupied by Zasfins. If so many high-level humans suddenly appeared here, that would definitely attract too much attention.
Rean and Roan discussed this issue and eventually came to a conclusion. Although each mission didn't give that many merit points, doing missions for four years still helped accumulate a lot. With that said, Rean's group had enough to finally buy Rean's beloved airship. "We're moving to the Demon Beast Continent."
