Death… And Me

Chapter 3077  What Do You Need?

"Hum..." Rean heard all of that, trying to understand how he could help the imprisoned soul.

Uruavis, who seemed to get worse as time passed, couldn't help but ask. "How is it, envoys? Can you help Mother?"

Yuan looked at him. At the very least, Yuan had no idea whatsoever. "I'm not sure, sorry..."

Rean, on the other hand, didn't just give up that easily. "I need some time to ponder about this issue. If I'm not wrong, this Spiritual Prison where the Charybdis Queen's soul finds herself is made to also counter her bloodline cultivation. That's why I get the same feeling as the Charybdis Bloodline. I think her own bloodline is being used in this Prison."

Uruavis was surprised to hear that. "Is... Is that so? Then..."

Rean shook his head. "I'm not sure yet. Like I said, give me some time to think."

At the same time Rean and Roan talked through the Soul Connection. 'What do you think? Is it truly the bloodline that is being used in this Spiritual Prison?'

Roan agreed with Rean. At the moment, he had asked for a break in the World Splitting Sect so he could focus on what was happening on Rean's side. 'It does give the same feeling, after all. When Uruavis mentioned that their cultivation type was different, I already expected something like this.'

Rean pondered a bit. 'I'll try to use your Dark Element and see if it can corrode the walls of the Spiritual Prison.'

'Go ahead,' Roan thought the same. Even if it didn't work, he wanted to see the prison's reaction.

Rean's hair once again changed into a mix of White and Dark Colors. Right after, the exchange of elements happened, and Rean received Roan's purest Dark Element. He sent it against the Spiritual prison shell and the many runes slowly to see the effects. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At first, there was no reaction. But as Rean increased the Dark Element in his hand, the expected corrosion effect began to appear. A dark smoke rose from the Spiritual Prison, and the weird runes themselves began to get agitated.

Unfortunately, that was all he could achieve. The Spiritual Prison seemed to be able to repair itself faster than Roan's Dark Element could corrode it. No, faster was an understatement. Even if Rean could use ten times more Dark Element, it still wouldn't be enough to outdo the repair ability of the Prison.

'Well, it is not the first time we met some kind of repair ability faster than your corrosion power,' Rean commented, not surprised at all.

Roan obviously remembers the various times he say that happening. One good example was the Ruins of the Stars. Or, to be more specific, the spaceship. Back then, they also tried to use Roan's Dark Element to corrode the hull of the Spaceship, but the Spaceship could repair itself much faster than they could break it.

Still, that didn't mean they had a solution. 'There is no point continuing doing that. Also, I think I know why you haven't seen those runes before.'

'Oh! So you got the same thought as me, it seems,' Rean smiled. 'Bloodline Runes, right? Runes that exist solely for Bloodline Cultivators.'

'Yes,' Roan confirmed. 'That makes things tricky since we have never dealt with such Runes before. We didn't even know they existed. Of course, we might be wrong as well.'

Rean was doing exactly that. 'Since they are runes, I thought about using a formation to counter their effects. The problem is that I don't even know what each of these countless runes that keep appearing and disappearing do.'

Suddenly, Yuan got by Rean's side after seeing Rean going silent for a while. "Rean, is there anything I can help you with?"

Rean opened his eyes and turned to Yuan. However, he shook his head. "Probably not. Well, there is no harm telling you my theories, so maybe you can get some idea. These runes that you see appearing around the Spiritual Prison are most likely Bloodline Runes, Runes created by and for Bloodline Cultivators like the Charybdis Queen. If we can't nullify these bloodline runes, we won't go anywhere. This prison is way too strong to be broken by force."

"Bloodline Runes?" Yuan had never heard about them either. "I can't help much, sorry."

Rean didn't mind. "It is fine. I just started to think about it."

However, Yuan did get an idea in the end. "You said that this prison was probably created with the Charybdis Queen's won bloodline, right? What kind of blood was used? Would you perhaps be able to use the Charybdis Queen's blood to destroy the prison?"

Rean glanced at Yuan, surprised. "That's not a bad idea... But how? Even if the Charybdis Queen's bloodline was used to make the prison against her will, I don't know how to use her blood against it. If anything, throwing more of her blood over the prison would only strengthen it."

"This..." Yuan couldn't give an answer. "That I don't know."

Yet, there was one person who thought about something, Roan. 'Didn't you say that you wanted to give that idiot a Charybdis Bloodline as a reward for breaking the prison?'

Rean was taken aback by that question. 'Well, I sure did. Why?'

Roan continued. 'If he wants to receive the Charybdis Bloodline, it will have to be Essence Blood since the normal blood wouldn't make much of a difference. Chances are that this prison is made with the Charybdis Queen's Essence Blood.'

Rean's eyes lit up. 'That actually could work... but how would we make Yuan absorb it?'

Roan shrugged. 'That you will have to ask Uruavis. I'm pretty sure he knows the answer.'

Rean immediately remembered Tana and Drefin, the two Golal Sharks with a little bit of Charybdis Bloodline. 'Right! That has to be it.'

Rean quickly turned in Uruavis direction. Yet, Uruavis was seemed to have almost completely deflated by now. "WoW! Uruavis, are you okay?"

Uruavis bitterly smiled. "My decay is happening way faster than I expected. Don't worry, though. This is a fate I already accepted the moment I detached from Mother. Say it, what do you need?"
