Death… And Me

Chapter 1836: Decades?

Roan pondered over the issue for a bit. If they were normal Peak Stage Transition Realm beings, he was confident that their strength would be enough. However, five demons that had a Foundation Fragment in their hands were bound to be anything but normal.

With that, Rean looked at the building ahead of them before saying, ”Perhaps we should head inside first. It would be better to not fall behind too much in the run for the fragment. If we have to battle in the end, then so be it. We should be able to at least escape safely since the Dimensional Realm is now free.”

Roan nodded in response. ”Very well. Letʼs see if we can use anything inside to our favor.”

[Thatʼs good and all.] Sister Orb mentioned. [However, where exactly is the entrance of this place?]

Rean and Roan narrowed their eyes in response. They couldnʼt find anything that looked like an entrance, window, or anything similar. There was also the problem that they didnʼt want to spread their Divine Sense so the other side wouldnʼt feel them. 

”Hmm... at least I can tell that they arenʼt getting any closer to the fragment either,” said Rean soon after. They still had the Divine Sense bending skill active, after all. ”They seem to be circling around the building, heading in our direction.”

As soon as Rean said that, Roan had an idea. ”Right! Why didnʼt I think of it before? Quick, head inside the Dimensional Realm.”

Rean was taken aback for a moment when he finally noticed what Roan wanted to do. ”Hahahaha! Thatʼs right! Letʼs go!” Immediately, the twins disappeared from the Realm of Gods.

Meanwhile, the five demons made their way around the building as they looked for an entrance. They also kept their Divine Senses fully spread, trying to find anything out of the norm. However, the lack of movement from the ʼangelsʼ worried them. ”Could it be that they already entered the building?” Fratekla couldnʼt help but ask.

”Maybe,” Rlakux wondered. ”We havenʼt checked everything yet. So far, I canʼt see any entrance. Forcing our way against a building made of Clenhest Stone is out of the question as well. They might have found the entrance already, or they might have known about it from the very start. In any case, keep your guards up. We donʼt know if itʼs a trap.”

With the exception of the twins, there was a requirement for someone to have a Pocket Dimensional Realm. They must have at least a small level of control over space. Thatʼs why you simply couldnʼt find anyone below the Void Tempering Realm with it. Not to mention that those dimensional realms were very expensive. Even Philip didnʼt know if he believed in the twinsʼ words back in the Jhiod Sect because of it.

In any case, in a group made of Transition Realm beings, one would not expect to find a Pocket Dimensional Realm. The twins knew about it, but it wasnʼt of much use since the Dimensional Realm was always closed when they were in dangerous situations. However, now that they reached a level where their enemies would all be above the Transition Realm, this blockage was useless since their enemies would most likely be able to feel the Dimensional Realm regardless.

Though, the demons that came around this time were definitely strong, especially after absorbing so many souls when they arrived in the central region. Yet, none of them could use Spatial Powers. Being able to use Spatial Powers before the Void Tempering Realm was just way, way too rare. One could take Luan as an example. Many things had to come together for him to be able to do it at his level. His Sacred Eye Bloodline, his Space Affinity, Roanʼs cultivation technique... even the twins themselves, with everything that went for them, only had a grasp over it at the Middle Stage of the Transition Realm.

Rlakux, Fratekla, and the other three demons passed by the place where the twins left, unaware of the entrance of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm left within the fabric of space. Naturally, the twins watched it from inside as they had always been able to see everything outside. That was a perk that the other participants with Pocket Dimensional Realms couldnʼt do. 

”Hmm... which one of them has the fragment? Do you know?” Rean asked Sister Orb.

[No.] Sister Orb answered. [Spatial rings wouldnʼt be able to hide its presence, so thereʼs definitely something else masking the fragmentʼs power.]

Roan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the demons. It was the first time he saw ʼlivingʼ ones as the other two they dealt with in the past were only souls. ”The female in the middle,” Roan mentioned.

”What about her?” Rean asked back.

Roan then explained, ”They arenʼt making it obvious, but itʼs obvious that the four male demons seem quite aware of the female one. It isnʼt fear, though. If anything, the guy at the front appears slightly stronger at first glance.”

”Do you think theyʼre protecting her?” Rean understood what Roan meant with his words.

Roan nodded, replying, ”Thatʼs what I think. However, donʼt underestimate her. Iʼm not sure to start with. Even if I am, that might be only because sheʼs carrying the fragment, not because she needs protection.”

*clack, clack...* Rean cracked his fists as he prepared to attack. ”Well, since we have a target, we might as well get it over with. Theyʼre passing right by the entrance of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, but they canʼt tell itʼs here.” Soon after, he brought his Black Star out.

Roan pondered in silence for a bit before saying, ”Forget her for now. If she really is carrying the fragment, she might have some life-saving treasures on her. Instead, focus on those three on the sides. Letʼs start with them.”

”There are only two of us here, though,” Rean mentioned.

Roan faintly smiled in response, asking him, ”How long has it been since we used Sun and Moon Obliteration?”

Rean was taken aback to hear that. With a light scratch of his head, he then replied, ”Decades?”
