Death… And Me

Chapter 552 - First Questions

Laime kept his grim expression as he looked at Rean.

”This is the City of Danve, located in the southeast side of Tasman Country. As for Tasman Country, itʼs located on the west side of our Empire, Palif. Our city isnʼt that big nor small compared to others, just in the middle. The lord of the city is named Devou Zais, young master Frandinʼs father.”

Rean nodded with a satisfied expression.

”Thatʼs good enough. At least I now know where I am. Do you perhaps know the name of this planet?”

”Planet? Whatʼs that?”

Rean shook his head.

”Itʼs fine if you donʼt know.”

Sure enough, it was hard to find people who knew the concept of planets. Rean then changed his topic.

”By the way, how did you find me? Iʼm sure Iʼve concealed my presence well enough. Is it because of this mark on Fradinʼs forehead?”

Both Frandin and Laime, as well as the people listening below him, looked at Rean with weird expressions.

”Do you really not know what it is?”

Rean narrowed his eyes, obviously annoyed.

”If I knew, I wouldnʼt waste my time asking. Which part of Iʼm not someone from here donʼt you understand?”

Frandin began to consider whether Reanʼs claims of not having an owner were true or not. However, he was still in a precarious situation, so he put those thoughts aside for the moment.

”It makes no sense hiding it since itʼs obvious to anyone who sees it. Besides, you would find out about it as long as you asked anyone with common sense. This is a mark only awakened by those of pure bloodline from our Zasfin Race. It connects us with others of the same bloodline, even those who donʼt have this mark. Everyone knows that we can use it to find each other as long as we arenʼt too far away.”

Sure enough, it was that mark.

”Zasfin Race, huh?”

It was the first time Rean had heard that name. However, just as he was about to ask a few more things, he felt the presence of more Spiritual Senses hitting his Spiritual Sense Bending Skill. Two of them were Core and Soul Fusion Realm level. As for the last one...

ʼNascent Soul Realm. His powerful Spiritual Sense will be enough to pass through my bending skill if he gets close enough. At that moment, he will notice that Iʼm just at the Peak of the Core Formation Realm.ʼ

Rean then smiled at Laime.

”It seems like weʼve got some company. However, I still have many things to ask, so Iʼll take my leave here. Oh, Iʼll bring my friend Frandin with me since he seems to be very knowledgeable about this region. See ya.”

At that moment, a voice echoed in everyoneʼs minds.

”Hmph! Do you think you can leave this place?”

Frandinʼs eyes immediately lit up.

”Father!”

However...

”Of course! Look!”

Out of nowhere, Rean hit the back of Frandinʼs head, knocking the guy out straight away. Soon after, Rean brought him into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm together with Kentucky. Naturally, all the others could see was how Rean, Kentucky, and Frandin disappeared in mid-air, much to their shock.

Devou, the City Lord, immediately spread his Spiritual Sense but couldnʼt find as much as a single hair of their existence. Not only that, but Frandinʼs connection with everyoneʼs souls was also cut, just like that.

”Impossible!”

Devou felt like he had seen a ghost. He knew very well that his raceʼs bloodline mark connection could reach several tens of kilometers of distance. It might be possible even from a hundred kilometers, depending on the bloodlineʼs purity. As long as Frandin was inside that range, he would be able to feel it, especially since he had the same mark. However, Frandinʼs connection was cut in less than a second. That was the same as saying that Frandin moved all that distance in less than a second.

”Did they perhaps teleport away?”

”That must be the case. I refuse to believe someone can move this fast.”

”What do we do now?”

”What else? Send people out to find him! I want my son back!”

”Yes, Lord Devou!”

Devou wasnʼt completely wrong when he said that Rean and Frandin had teleported away. However, Rean didnʼt need to use a save point this time. First of all, with the system frozen, he wouldnʼt be able to use Destiny Points to place a save point anyway.

However, there was more than one way to teleport to another place with the Soul Gem Dimensional Realmʼs help. Rean and Roan could exit anywhere near their bodies as long as their Soul Connection wasnʼt too far from each other. At the moment, their Soul Connection Range was at level three, which gave them a range of 3000 kilometers. That being said, after entering the Dimensional Realm with Frandin, Rean was able to exit it, appearing close to Roan.

Qia and Agis were obviously shocked by that. How did he come back without them noticing? Malaka noticed their confusion. However, they would figure this out sooner or later now that they know about the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, so she didnʼt waste time and explained it. Only then did they understand how useful the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm could really be.

Roan ignored that as he told everyone.

”Letʼs go inside the Dimensional Realm. Rean got someone who we can use to obtain some information.”

Agis, Qia, and the others nodded. They then felt the same suction power as they let it take them away. In the next moment, they were back in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.

There, Sister Orb stayed by Frandinʼs side, waiting for him to wake up.

[Hurry up, Rean. I want to know more about this place.]

”Alright, alright...”

ʼLife Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery.ʼ

Rean then healed the bruise on the back of Frandinʼs head before waking him up. Sure enough, Frandin opened his eyes straight away.

”This...”

Obviously, he was surprised to see so many humans at once. Of course, Rean put him inside the same jail as he put others in the past, so Frandin couldnʼt see anything outside. There was also no Spiritual Energy inside there since Sister Orb controlled it. Finally, Rean made sure to change everyoneʼs appearance to be completely different from their real ones.

”Now, then. Letʼs continue our conversation.”
