Death… And Me Chapter 2024 She Was Quite Fast

As the twins talked with Luman, Librao finally managed to return to his ho in the ruins. Naturally, he didn't waste ti to go talk with his mother and told her everything that happened until he ca back.

"He dares!" It went without saying that Librao and Abelha's mother got furious, especially with the idea of Luman forcing himself to impregnate her daughter.

*Brommm...*

Decaying Dark Energy began to leak out from the coffin she was inside, showing that it hadn't been open for a very long ti. Her cultivation, as well as her children, required a constant infusion of Dark Elent from the Swamp, so the coffin was made to help with that. To let it all out now was the sa as throwing away several years of effort. She would have to spend a lot of ti accumulating that much again. Of course, she didn't care about that now.

Following that, she grabbed Librao with her Divine Energy manipulation and disappeared from the area. She lived close enough to Luman's settlent to know where to go, after all.

Back in the settlent, Luman finished telling the story about how his Lakure Race to the twins. "So, it was pretty much that. Now the only thing I can do is to make sure the Lakures I have here in the Swamp of No Return stay alive."

Rean found it strange. "The sheer amount of Dark Elent in this Swamp is ridiculously high. How co you and your Lakure Race mbers are not being affected by it?"

"Because of my disguising technique," Luman explained. "It not only can make us look just like Devils, but it also uses the surrounding Dark Elent to keep the transformation going. Since the technique itself is absorbing the Dark Elent that reaches us, it doesn't affect our bodies."

"I see..." Rean had to admit Luman's technique was also quite good in its own right. "But that will make it very hard for your Lakure Race to reproduce then. After all, the babies who are born will not be able to use the technique."

Luman then pointed at his head. However, Rean, Roan, and Kentucky Understood. He was pointing at his own Pocket Dinsional Realm. "When a Lakure Female gets pregnant, I send her into my Pocket Dinsional Realm. There she will give birth to the child and not have to worry about the Dark Elent in the surroundings. The child will obviously grow and cultivate there until I judge that he or she is strong enough to co out."

Luman then looked through the window, watching the several Devils and Lakures walking around his settlent. "The numbers of my race got quite a lot bigger in the past hundreds of years. When I built this settlent, there were only 21 Lakures, including . Now we are a few hundred."

"No wonder you keep insisting on this thing about reproduction all the ti. It is not that you were a pervert but that your entire group understands that you have to reproduce if you don't want your Lakure Race to disappear."

"Hahaha!" Luman laughed out loud in response. "That's definitely part of the reason. However, I am indeed a pervert. A cultivator has to have fun, too, you know?"

Roan then returned to the previous topic. "So, Luman, what can you tell us about this Swamp?"

Luman pondered a bit and began to talk. "As you probably noticed, we can't find our way out. However, within a certain range, it is possible to locate oneself. We made a few tests using puppets and found out that around 20000 kiloters, it is still possible to find your way back to a specific location. Abelha and Librao's mother just happen to live around 13000 kiloters from here, so she knows how to find us."

He continued. "Any puppet that went past this distance couldn't find its way back. We wondered if it was because they were attacked by Demon Beasts at first. However, after several more tests, we understood that it was basically because they got lost, never to be seen again. We used tine sleeves of soul, the sa used to know whether soone is alive or not, to confirm if the puppets were still intact. Even though a lot of them were indeed destroyed by the Demon Beast, quite a few did go further away intact. So, keep it in mind, to be safe, try to stay within 15000 kiloters of the settlent."

"The Dark Elent here has high decaying power. However, if you use it for cultivation, like the Devils, it is extrely beneficial for your progress. As long as you can deal with the decaying factor, that is. The decaying power is so high that even Devils have a very hard ti dealing with it. It goes without saying it doesn't have much use for our Lakure Race, though."

Roan nodded. "I noticed that already. It has helped quite a bit."

"So you do have Dark Elent Affinity. No wonder it was so pure when I felt it during your battle." Luman was surprised to hear that. He looked at Rean right after. "So, was it like I saw? Do you truly have Light Elent Affinity?"

Rean nodded. "We were born like that."

Luman looked at them as so rare breed. "Truly unexpected. You are the first humans I've seen with such affinities. It is your Light Elent that helps you against the Dark Elent here, right?"

"Yes," Rean confird his words. "And it is pretty effective against the creatures of this place. Of course, I can't gather as much Light Elent as I want due to the environnt."

"It is still pretty good," Luman was quite jealous. "Anyway, another thing you need to pay attention to in this Swamp is the Dark Tide."

"Dark Tide?" The twins' group hadn't seen it before. "What is that?"

"Since you haven't seen it, you haven't been in this swap for long." Luman began to explain. "It happens once every fews years, but there isn't a precise ti between occurrences. A huge accumulation of Dark Elent washes the entire Swamp, killing everything in its path that doesn't have resistance to it. The true danger is how fast it moves. It is even faster than at full speed. From what I could see, the flow of space and ti in this Swamp is what carries this tide forward every ti."

"How do you defend against that?" Since Luman's settlent was here, they obviously had a way.

Luman shrugged his shoulder. "What else can we do? We hide and create barriers to withstand the wave. Worst case scenario, I bring everyone into my Pocket Dinsional Realm and wait for it to pass. However, I wouldn't recomnd that."

"Why is that?" Rean and Roan thought that the Dinsional Realm would be a pretty safe choice.

"I told you, didn't I? It is the flow of space and ti in this Swamp that causes the tide. The tide itself carries really strong spatial distortions. Suppose you leave the entrance of your Dinsional Realm exposed by going inside. In that case, it will get damaged and might cause your entire Dinsional Realm to collapse. I learned it the worst way."

[He is right,] Sister Orb suddenly spoke to the twins through their soul connection. [The Flow of space and ti here can truly cause harm to the Dinsional Realm. It's just that the Soul Gem Dinsional Realm is very resistant, so it can withstand the flow while you two are inside. However, if this tide makes the flow even more powerful, it might cause so problems for the Dinsional Realm. It is basically the sa as you two hiding inside the Dinsional Realm while the enemy knows where the entrance is. It is a truly bad idea to leave it exposed.]

The twins nodded in response. 'Alright, Sister Orb. We will pay attention.'

However, the twins weren't that concerned. After all, Roan is the epito of the Dark Elent. It didn't matter how powerful the Decaying Ability of the tide was. It simply wouldn't have any effect on him whatsoever. That ant he could keep the dinsional realm entrance within himself, and nothing would happen.

Still, Rean asked Luman to be safe. "How do we protect ourselves against the tide in case we are outside?"

Luman was just about to explain when suddenly, a powerful Divine Sense washed over everyone in the settlent. That Divine Sense wasn't trying to stay hidden at all, making even those with lower cultivations feel it in its full might. Luman, however, just smiled as a result. "Oh, she was quite fast."
