With Latalia, Rovan, and the twins working together, Vio was quickly overwhelmed by the group attack. Not to mention that he had tried to escape earlier while ignoring Rovan's attack. That only contributed to his terrible situation.
The other Core Formation Realm cultivators were also quickly dealt with, leaving almost none alive.
In the end, only Vio was left alive. However, it was done that way so Roan could ask him a few questions.
However, as soon as the battle was concluded, Sian and Ervan fell to the ground. They were already gravely injured while Rean and Roan prepared the trap for Beal, forcing themselves to stand up and attack the Umbral Sect's group after the twins' help finally arrived.
Latalia narrowed her eyes as she looked at the two. After that, she arrived beside Ervan and began to pour Spiritual Energy into his body. Rovan wanted to do the same, but the Enhancement Skill's effect had already disappeared a while ago. He didn't receive serious injuries, but he could barely move at the moment.
Latalia then looked at Sian before shaking her head.
"This one called Ervan can still be saved, but he has absorbed too much Umbral Energy, so I don't know if he can fully recover. As for the other guy, he is beyond what a healing Pill can fix. Just give him a quick death."
However, everyone other than Latalia looked at Rean at that moment.
"Alright, alright. Don't look at me with those puppy eyes. I'll fix him, okay?"
Latalia didn't know what Rean was talking about. What fix? Does he have a high-level healing pill?
Of course, that was far from the truth.
'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery.'
'Life Style, Third Form, Purification.'
In front of Latalia's eyes, she saw all the injuries on Sian's body quickly closing. Not only that, her Spiritual Sense could tell how the Umbral Energy inside his body was being swiftly destroyed.
"The hell? What are you, a god?"
Rean laughed as he looked at her.
"Nope, I'm an angel."
Everyone other than Roan showed a puzzled expression.
'What the hell is an angel?'
Roan simply added in response.
"It does match the nightingale's nickname."
Rean's mouth twitched.
"Fuck you!"
While no one understood what they were fighting about, Rean finished healing Sian up. Sian was not at the Core and Soul Fusion Realm like Rovan, so it was a lot faster to finish him.
Soon after, Rean moved closer to Ervan.
Latalia finally came back to herself and retreated to the side. Compared to his healing abilities, her Healing Pills and Spiritual Energy were simply useless.
"Nnghhh."
"Bear with the pain. Destroying the Umbral Energy inside your body is the first priority before it can damage your organs. If that happens, it will take even longer to heal you."
Sure enough, as much Light Element as there might be, having Dark Element running through ones' body was anything but comfortable.
"Impressive. Now I know why the Umbral Sect was after you two. There was a rumor about a kid who could heal Umbral Energy without the need for pills from the Dalamu Sect. That kid is you, right? I didn't expect that your healing abilities were that powerful that even Healing Pills pale in comparison."
Rean smiled as he nodded.
"It seems like I'm quite famous. Hahaha!"
*Pah!*
Roan slapped the back of his head right after.
"Since when being famous is a good thing in the cultivation world, you idiot? Stop wasting time and finish this guy."
Rean rubbed the back of his head as he looked at Roan.
"Did you finish with that guy?"
Roan nodded.
"I did. They didn't come at us by following a track or anything like that. It was purely coincidence that they just so happened to use the same maze change moment that brought us together. It seems like quite a few groups are starting to understand how this maze works. If they don't die to the Fake Demon Beasts, they will eventually head in the same direction."
It was then that Latalia remembered.
"Wait! Don't think I forgot how you pulled me into this mess. Although we won the fight, we almost died, brats!"
Roan looked at Latalia and snorted in response.
"Hmph! That was your own luck. None of us knew that the Umbral Sect would appear in that place. After all, the initial idea was to simply get Ervan's group back. We didn't even know you were with them. Of course, we didn't know because you didn't allow Ervan to say that in his Thoughts Transmission Talisman, right? That is also part of your own fault."
Latalia's expression darkened, but she couldn't come up with an answer. It was true that she was the one who ordered Ervan to not tell them about her presence.
On Ervan's side, he finished explaining what happened to Luo through a Spiritual Sense message.
Rovan sighed after hearing that. How could he not understand how Evan felt? They were a small clan. Because of that, their few members were quite united too. Ervan obviously grieved the loss of Elder Luo. However, Rovan shook his head in the end.
'We all knew about the risks of coming into the Core Region to look for Latalia. It was all for the Serene Jade and your daughter's sake. Besides, she really kept her word and protected you all during the rest of the way. That alone was already heaven-defying luck of your part. You will be the next Clan Head in the future, so you must look at the greater picture.'
Ervan's expression turned gloomy, but he knew that Rovan was right.
'Yes, father.'
Rean then finished dealing with Ervan before he extended his hand to Latalia.
