Death… And Me

Chapter 1868: Thatʼs It Then

Heading to the demon beastsʼ territory. That was the right call. Back when Rean and Roan were in the Huring Continent, they told Erithean that they were looking for their friends. They told him they were probably inside the demon beastsʼ territory due to the spatial gate they entered back then leading exactly there. Erithean was really amazed that the twins even made it to the center of the Realm of Gods. Nevertheless, since they were there, they probably werenʼt going to stop before arriving on the demon beastsʼ side.

”Theyʼre coming here?” That piece of information took the three demon beasts aback. ”Why would they do that?”

Erithean then explained, ”It seems like theyʼre looking for their friends, who were teleported to the demon beastsʼ territory. As for where they are or if theyʼre even alive, that I have no clue. I also have no idea what they look like.” He wasnʼt lying. That was really all the twins told him.

Lanfia didnʼt feel anything when Erithean spoke, nodding in satisfaction. ”See? All you had to do was tell the truth from the start. If you had, I wouldnʼt have touched your home.”

Right after, she looked at Placake, saying, ”Even if theyʼre coming, it should take some time for people at their level to arrive here. But then again, we donʼt know where to look as they might enter our territory through basically any of the borders.”

Placake knew where Lanfia was coming from. ”I understand. Iʼll have their pictures and traits sent to all the demon beast regions that border the spirit continents.”

One must remember that the humanoid and demon beasts were located on opposite sides of each other. Demon beasts were situated in the northwest, while the humanoids were in the southeast. The only point where their continents could meet each other was through the central continent. The central continent was jointly held by spirits, humanoids, and demon beasts in order to keep it free from demons. The three sides might not like each other that much. However, they at least knew that the demons, or devils, had to be kept under control. For that, all three had a delicate alliance. The place where Lanfia was stopped just so happened to be the border of that central continent and the continent of the humanoid races.

However, unlike the other continents, that central continent couldnʼt be easily accessed. If the twins wanted to arrive in the demon beastsʼ territory, they would need to pass through the spirit continents first.

”I doubt they would dare to pass through the devilʼs continents to reach our territory so that at least eliminates half of the borders,” said Placake. ”However, because of their cultivation, itʼll still be hard to notice when they arrive, if they arrive at all. Low-level cultivators coming and leaving is something quite common in the ce

nter of the Realm of Gods.”

That was true as well. The continental barrier posed a huge problem for far-away continents when it came to traversing it. However, in the center of the Realm of Gods, there was no lack of paths to do that. Just the fact that the Continental Barrier Spirits were everywhere provided many chances for that.

Gardo couldnʼt help but ask after that. ”What about these friends of theirs? Theyʼre coming here to look for them, right? What if we find these friends and use them to lure the twins?”

They all looked at Erithean in response. However, Erithean reinforced what he said before. ”I told you. I donʼt know what they look like. If you donʼt believe me, then just go after the survivors of my family.”

Lanfia shook her head, saying, ”Heʼs not lying.”

Placake pondered over it for a bit when he got an idea. ”The twins are looking for these friends of theirs, right? Then... wouldnʼt these friends also be looking for the twins? We can simply spread the images of the twins everywhere in the demon beastsʼ territory and wait and see if someone takes the bait.”

Gardo and Lanfia had to admit it was a good idea. However, Lanfia saw a problem as well. ”The only issue is that as soon as we spread information about the twins, the spies will contact the humanoid races back. Itʼs the same as saying that we know the twins are heading to our demon beastsʼ territory. If we do that, the humanoid races will definitely increase the guard on all borders leading out of their territory.”

Placake narrowed his eyes in response. Because the demon beastsʼ territory was on the opposite side of the continent from the humanoid races, it wouldnʼt make sense for the twins to come here. Spreading news that the demon beasts were looking for the twins in their territory would make it very obvious that they were coming. At the moment, their advantage was that only they knew the twins were heading to their territory. The humanoid races didnʼt know that.

Gardo then suggested another idea. ”How about we wait? Itʼll be too hard for us to look for the twins in the humanoid and spirit race territories. Even Lanfia had to toil a bit to come back alive with this guy, right? Sending lower-level demon beasts to look for the twins will only make them easy targets to the humanoid races, so we might as well not do it. Theyʼre sure to keep an eye on the demon beasts that live on their side from now on as well. Let the humanoid races think that weʼre looking for the twins inside their territory. They have gone so far already, so Iʼd bet theyʼll find a way here.”

Gardo continued. ”We can wait a few years and only then spread the information. By then, the twins will most likely be inside our territories already, looking for their friends. Before that, we sho

uldnʼt let anyone know about it other than the leaders of the demon beast regions in each bordering continent.”

”But that would require the twins to succeed. What if they donʼt?” asked Lanfia. ”The longer we wait, the higher the chances that the humanoid races will find them again.”

However, Placake shook his head, replying, ”We donʼt have much choice. Of course, we will keep as many demon beasts looking for them as possible inside the humanoid racesʼ territories. Even if theyʼre caught, itʼs better than nothing. In any case, theyʼve already made it that far, so I think we have a good chance.”

Gardo and Lanfia could only nod in response. ”Thatʼs it then.”
