Death… And Me

Chapter 1550 Letʼs Wait For Rean

Vaz obviously didnʼt like that. However, he understood the seriousness of the issue. ”Fine! However, all of you must remember that thereʼs no such thing as a guaranteed escape. We will be shooting through the barrier and hope weʼll get outside. If it turns out that thereʼs no such thing as outside, or the shooting distance isnʼt enough, we might very well be throwing ourselves to our deaths.”

Levid shook his head when he heard that. ”Vaz, we all knew about this risk from the time we asked your team to build this thing. However, we truly donʼt wish to die in this Upside Down World without ever seeing the outside. Some of us canʼt forget the Realm of Gods, while others just want to see it for the first time. For that, weʼre all willing to die trying, and I believe youʼre no different.”

Vaz didnʼt deny that. After all, he totally intended to enter the chamber that would shoot them through the barrier. He also wanted to learn more outside and wanted it more than ever now that he met Rean. ”Thatʼs true.”

Vaz then looked at the other Formation Masters, including Rean, before yelling, ”All of you, teaching time is over. We will use Reanʼs Power Control Rune to finish the last parts of the formation before giving it a shot at escaping this damned place. As I mentioned 30 years ago to the starting team and the ones who joined us along the way, I wonʼt force anyone to enter the formation. Some of you arenʼt that old, maybe not as young as Rean, but not like me and the others, so you have a lot more time left. Perhaps itʼs simply not worth it. Once the time comes, you can simply not take part in it.”

Vaz then began to walk in the formationʼs direction after that. ”Alright, the time has come. Letʼs start!”

”Yes, Elder Vaz!” Everyone, including Rean, followed Vaz to the formation and immediately started to work on it.

At the same time, Clinbay looked back at Levid and the others, saying, ”All of you, go back to the tower and buy us time. However, if things get too complicated, simply take the teleport formation and come back here. We will simply destroy the teleport formations on this side. That will give us time as well.”

Levidʼs group nodded after that. ”Alright.” Soon after, they passed through the teleport formation while Clinbay stayed to watch over the work. Clinbay didnʼt want to leave anything up to chance until the formation was completed.

Meanwhile, Rean finished passing the current situation to Roan. ʼYou saw that, right?ʼ

Roan, who was at one of the windows of the tower, nodded, saying, ʼYes. That guy called Clinbay wasnʼt lying. In the past few hours, Iʼve noticed the number of Divine Senses hitting the Divine Sense bending skill increase several times. Itʼs not hard to see a few shadows appearing around the tower, and these shadows have nothing to do with the people and demon beasts who lived in the city around it.ʼ

Roan then asked Rean back after that. ʼYou sure this formation wonʼt work once they use your power control runes, right?ʼ

Rean confirmed Roanʼs words while he worked, saying, ʼYes. My power control runes absolutely canʼt hold such a large-scale formation. They would be better off with the ones they were using until now, even if they are at a lower level. My runes simply werenʼt made for this kind of job.ʼ

Roan then asked something else after that. ʼYou said the entire formation would explode if they activated it with your runes. Will you be fine on your side?ʼ

Rean then explained, ʼVaz already said that anyone who doesnʼt want to enter the formation wonʼt be forced into it. The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm is still open as well. That means no danger that the system can detect has been found yet. So, I believe I should be fine as Iʼm going to pretend that I donʼt want to enter it in the end.ʼ

Roan couldnʼt help but ask, ʼWhat if that guy called Clinbay decides to get rid of anyone who decides to not enter the formation? You never know what these guys are capable of in order to keep their secrets.ʼ

ʼIʼll keep watching the Soul Gem Dimensional Systemʼs entrance to see if things change. Until then, Iʼll have to keep my part of the plan. If I suddenly asked to leave right now, it would be way too suspicious,ʼ replied Rean.

Roan had to admit Rean was right. ʼThatʼs true. Alright, then you guys better finish your work as fast as possible. Things are getting quite heated outside. If Iʼm not wrong, it wonʼt take more than a day or two for the being watching this tower to come out and check it by force. Even if the purging organization is the biggest in the Upside Down World, it absolutely has no chance against all the powers together. Besides, this organization is maintained by these same powers, so they definitely want a slice of the pie.ʼ

Rean already planned that anyway. ʼDonʼt worry. The formation is more or less finished. A day should be more than enough after the addition of my runes.ʼ

Roan then left the window and went back to his room, where there was an anti-Divine Sense formation. Soon after, he brought Celis out of the Dimensional Realm. After all, Celis was the only one in condition to fight if necessary. After all, Kentucky would take at least another month to recover from the statue transformation. ”With Rean and my powers like this, we wonʼt be of much help, so we are counting on you.”

Celis nodded, already expecting it as he said in response, ”Donʼt worry. Thatʼs why you brought me out the first time. I might not be able to fight those at the Middle or Late Stage Void Tempering Realm like you and Rean, but I can definitely hold my own against someone at the Initial Stage. That should be enough for us to at least escape if it gets chaotic in this tower.”

Roan was satisfied with that. ”Letʼs wait for Rean, then.”
