Of course, once again, it wasn’t just an issue for females. Everywhere Rean looked, he could see those with low cultivation being abused in some way. Men were absolutely no exception. It’s just that in the end, men couldn’t get pregnant. It was as simple as that. ‘Well, if there’s one thing you can get from such an environment, it’s experience. If you survive, that’s because you stood out compared to the others.’
Falangia was still far away from such a thing, though. Being nineteen at the Core Formation Realm would be considered a super genius back in Sunkan Planet or the Zasfin Planet. However, in the Realm of Gods, that wasn’t anything at all. It’s just as she mentioned. Her cultivation could only be considered something substantial in the Treavin Continent or some other place with similar standards.
Meanwhile, Roan decided to not do anything cultivation or battle-related for now. After they left the Lost Star Realm, Celis went back to cultivate with the remaining Rank Three Divine Stones. Their cultivation simply advanced too much, so those Rank Three Divine Stones would only last until they reached the limit of the Elemental Transformation Realm. Not only that, but Celis calculated the time and told them that it would take at least three years for that.
Roan soon found a problem, though. ‘When I’m not training or battling, I basically have nothing to do. Maybe I should pay a visit to the Alchemist Guild? But then again, the level of the Alchemist Guild in this place should be quite low. Earning Divine Stones wouldn’t be a good idea either as the people here a much poorer.’
Roan wanted to relax for once, but he simply had no idea how he should do it. It was then that he noticed a kid being assaulted just for fun in his Divine Sense. That wasn’t all. Just like Rean, he noticed similar things happening every few kilometers around him. He simply hadn’t paid much attention before.
Roan had never been a good samaritan. But surprisingly, perhaps out of boredom, he decided to help the kid. With a flash of Dark Light, the three cultivators beating the kid dropped to the ground, dead. Sure enough, Roan wasn’t as merciful as Rean, even though they did the same thing. The people near that scene noticed it and immediately opened distance, not wanting to get involved with whoever did that to those guys.
As for the kid, he didn’t know what had happened. He only got up quickly and tried to leave the place. Unfortunately, he had a few bones broken, so he moved very slowly. Roan was a little surprised, though. The kid definitely wasn’t more than five or six years old. In fact, his injuries were anything but minor. However, the kid still didn’t cry. He bore the pain that even most adults would have difficulty bearing.
“Not too bad, kid,” Roan said, appearing in front of the kid like a ghost.
“Ah!” The kid might be able to deal with pain, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t be scared. The poor guy fell on him, but when Roan suddenly appeared like that, he couldn’t do much. “Wh-What you want? I already ate the bread! I can’t give it back. I didn’t kill those guys either!”
Roan immediately understood what had happened. This boy had stolen food from those cultivators a while ago and got caught. That’s why they were giving him a beating. Well, Roan didn’t feel pity for them. He could tell with a glance that those guys were from the evil path. The bloody aura around them was too easy to identify. “I know. I was the one who killed them. What’s the point in fighting someone so much weaker than you? It disgusts me.”
Roan then touched the boy’s shoulder.
‘Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!’
With the difference in cultivation, Roan didn’t even need to exchange elements with Rean. Just his scythe’s Light Element Gathering ability was more than enough to heal the boy, who was just in the Foundation Establishment Realm, in a few seconds.
The boy looked at his body and how the pain had disappeared. Not to mention how good he felt with Roan’s Light Element. Nevertheless, he was suspicious of him. “What do you want?”
Roan snorted before walking away. What did he want? Roan doesn’t want anything. He was just bored. Roan then spread his Divine Sense once again and looked for more cases like that. However, he didn’t help everyone he found. He only intervened when it was a case of adults bullying kids. That’s because, in a place like this one, there’s probably no such thing as innocent adults. Falangia was a very good example of it. Kids, on the other hand, didn’t have the strength to fight back, so it was still somehow okay to help them. At least until he got bored of doing that as well.
Because of Rean’s Light bending skill, no one saw Roan walking around… except for the first kid he saved. ‘Seems like this kid is from some race with a good sensory ability…’ Well, it wasn’t like Roan was putting much effort into hiding anyway. The funny thing was that the kid tried to stay hidden so that Roan wouldn’t notice him.
After that, Roan walked around and ended up crippling or killing a few more people during the next three to four hours. In a certain way, he didn’t dislike getting rid of those trashes. It made him relax a bit, so he simply continued in that hero-like behavior until he got tired of the kid following him.
He entered a less crowded alley and waited for the kid to appear. Yet, the kid stopped a few tens of meters away from there, as if he knew Roan was not moving. ‘Oh… Now, that’s a better sensory ability than I thought.’ Roan’s body then flashed, disappearing from his position.
“Ah!” Once again, the kid was scared by Roan’s sudden appearance. It’s not that he didn’t feel Roan, but that he didn’t even have the time to react before Roan arrived.
Roan then looked down at the kid and asked, “So? Why are you still following me?”
