"Where is he?!"
Rean's Soul was nowhere to be seen... Yes, Rean has fled!
Rean sighed in relief when he confirmed that he could really cross through walls in that form of his.
"Who the hell would stay put waiting for a creepy guy to cut you in half? Go to hell! No, wait! If he is Death, then he came from hell to start with. Errr... whatever, go to Heavens then!"
Rean still thought that it didn't sound quite right, either. However, it was not time to ponder whether he is properly cursing Death or not. He had to flee!
Nevertheless, that was useless. In the next second, a gate appeared right in front of Rean's Soul and Death came out from it. Rean tried to turn around and run once more, but Death was already prepared for it. The black energy precisely wrapped around Rean's waist before being pulled back.
"Hmph! Making me waste my time. Usually, I would go around collecting a few Souls before sending them all into the Path of Reincarnation at once. But since you are this eager to be first, I will fulfill your wish."
Before Rean could even reply that comment, another Gate, this time bigger, opened right in front of him. As soon as the Gate opened, Rean's Soul felt like he was being pulled by an enormous pressure! The more he struggled, the higher the attractive force seemed to be.
Death saw that and snorted. Once the Gate to the Path of Reincarnation is opened, any soul that stopped to be part of the living world would be dragged inside. It was impossible to escape! He didn't even need to transform Rean's Soul into Soul Energy, the Path would do that automatically.
Death then turned around and opened another Gate. He still had several Souls to pull out of their dead bodies today, so he wouldn't stay here just to watch Rean's Soul falling inside. After all, he had seen this scene countless times already.
A new gate appeared in front of him, and Death Stepped forward.
But it was at this moment that Death noticed something strange.
"Weird... How come I'm walking forward, but the Gate is getting further away?"
Of course, such a train of thought only lasted for a second. That is because Death suddenly fell with his face on the ground. He then looked back and saw Rean holding one of his lower legs. Immediately, Death's expression changed paled! Well, it was already pale to start with.
"LET GO!"
Death must be dreaming if he thinks that Rean would do as he asked.
"THEN CLOSE THAT GATE!"
Death then started to struggle and kick Rean's head with his other leg. But Rean seemed just like a maggot. It didn't matter how much he kicked, Rean kept holding him tightly!
"I can't close it until the dead soul has passed through, so let go!
Rean immediately answered.
"I Don't wanna die!"
Death felt like crying.
"You are already dead, idiot! Just go and pass away peacefully!"
Rean couldn't help but snort.
"Then come with me, and let's peacefully pass away together. Hahaha!"
"Don't drag me down with you!"
"It was you who put me in this situation to start with!"
"I'm only doing my job!"
"And what does that have to do with me?!"
Between screams, struggles, kicks, and curses, Rean and Death were sent into the Path of Reincarnation... together...
