The fourth round had Rean's group fight group number 97, the first team from Parvin. As mentioned before, Parvin ended up having two teams from their country entering the same group. Things didn't go well with this group, though. They talked with the other countries who fought Rean's group and exchanged information with them. They knew that Rean's group only had Roan on the defense.

The Death World skill was too complicated to deal with. With that being said, they pretended that only two people stayed behind, protecting their flag. However, when Rean's group attacked, the other three came out. Just to make sure, they also stayed far away, to make sure that no Divine Sense could notice their presence.

What happened next was a five-on-four battle. Two of the members of Parvin Country focused on Milina, who looked a little slimmer again. The rest focused on Rean, Regio, and Samanta. Their leader, a guy called Jixe, was the one to fight Rean.

Parvin Country had two teams in this capture the flag test. That in itself showed that Parvin was definitely among the strong countries, not far from the top ones. Besides, the team Rean's group was fighting against was the strongest group of Parvin Country as well. Jixe just so happened to be an Elemental Transformation Realm cultivator. So, he had a lot of Divine Energy to use, even though he couldn't use as much as an Elemental Transformation Realm cultivator normally could.

Rean had to go all out in his fight against Jixe as Roan kept behind. Roan also couldn't possibly arrive fast enough to help Rean as he was on the other side of the field. In the end, Rean finally had to use the twins' elemental exchange to make up for the lower amount of total Divine Energy available to use since his fight with Jixe wasn't going anywhere.

Well, that was supposed to be a huge battle for Rean. However, Rean had never forgotten the real objective of this test. Capture the flag! It didn't matter how many of your group members you lost. If you succeeded in bringing the enemy's flag back to yours without having yours stolen, you win!

'Death Style, First Energy Form, Shadow Bind!'

'Death Style, First Movement Form, Shadow Steps!'

Obviously, Rean could use Shadow Bind as well. Better yet, no one knew he could do that as it was a skill that Roan used, not him. The Shadow Bind attached themselves to Parvin Country's flag before slinging shooting it in a direction none of the Parvin Country members could reach in time, only Rean. He also used the Three Claws of the Dragon with one of his clones against Jixe at the same time. It gave him the chance to use the Shadow Steps to get away.

*Grab!*

As soon as Rean got the flag, he used his Divine Sense to talk with the rest. 'Retreat or stay, that's up to you. I'm going ahead with this flag to end this match.'

'What?!' Milina, Samanta, and Regio were taken aback. Was he leaving them behind to fight five vs. three? However, they quickly noticed that everyone completely ignored them when Rean shot into the distance. What was the point in fighting Milina and the others? They would lose if Rean arrived back to his flag instead.

"Hold them back!"

Naturally, they immediately attacked Parvin Country's team even more fiercely. That allowed only Jixe to get away from them and pursue Rean. Unfortunately for him, if it was speed alone, Rean was king! Once Rean increased the gap between them to over tens of meters...

'Light and Divine Sense Bending!'

Rean disappeared from both Jixe's vision and Divine Sense. Of course, Jixe was close enough to at least see where Rean was running. Those marks couldn't be wiped out. With his Divine Sense focusing on those clues, he kept after Rean. Unfortunately, following Rean was already hard enough, let alone a few marks on the ground. 

As outraged as Jixe could have felt, he understood after a minute that he definitely wouldn't catch Rean anymore. He then took the decision to change his direction and head straight to their flag. He could at least try to prevent Rean from delivering their flag back to Roan's place.

It's just that it didn't work well either. Sure, by making a beeline to their flag, he arrived ahead of him. However, the Death World was already waiting for him. He gritted his teeth and entered the Death World without minding the consequences. He was even able to react and exchange a few moves against Roan in that unfavorable position. However, he suddenly heard a Divine Sense Message from Cassia. 

'Kamos Country has delivered their flag back to their own. It's the Kamos Country's victory.'

Immediately, Roan's Death World burst apart as Roan saw no reason to continue the fight. Only then did Jixe see Rean holding his team's flag beside their own. "How can you be that fast?!"

Rean laughed in response. "Hahaha! That's because I knew you would come here. All I had to do was follow you from behind, just far enough for your Divine Sense not to see the marks I left on the ground. In fact, I could have delivered the flag earlier, but it was nice to see your fight against my beloved brother."

Roan's mouth twitched after hearing that. "Who the hell is your beloved brother?" Naturally, he didn't like that at all. "Also, since you wanted to see the fight, you could have let this guy and I fight to the end."

Rean shook his head. "We need to think about Milina. The less Divine Energy she uses, the better for us."

Roan hated it but had to admit Rean was right. "Fine."

Suddenly, everyone in that field was teleported back through the spatial doors. Rean then saw that Regio was enveloped by the protective barrier, showing that he had been defeated. 'As expected of a strong country. Milina has also gotten a lot slimmer than she did in the previous battles. It's almost to the point that one can't call her fat anymore.'

A moment later, the Sacred Land deactivated the barrier, allowing Rean's group to go back and wait.
