Death… And Me

Chapter 1916 Just Why He Doesnʼt Notice It?

”Ahem...” Placake quickly recovered. ”If thatʼs the case, then you have nothing to worry about. Itʼs not like our territory doesnʼt have a few humanoid powers, either. Itʼs just that theyʼre small and wouldnʼt try to do anything to the demon beasts. Isnʼt that the same on your humanoid side? There should be many demon beast locations there.”

Rean nodded in response. ”There are, indeed. Not allowing any demon beast would only contribute to weaker experts.”

”The same goes for us,” Placake added. ”Having humanoid races that our demon beasts can fight against helps those with sentience to know what to expect when not fighting other demon beasts. If you donʼt stop us from looking inside, then I have no need to do anything to you bunch. First of all, youʼd be a weak humanoid force inside the demon beastsʼ territory.”

Rean looked at Placake for a moment and then asked Roan through their Soul Connection. ʼWhat do you think?ʼ

ʼHe doesnʼt seem to be lying,ʼ Roan finally said something after all this while.

ʼGood to know youʼre still alive,ʼ Rean couldnʼt help but mention. Soon after, he decided to take the sect out. ”Alright, then. Where exactly can I take my sect out? I want it to be a place where my members can go out and gain experience.”

Placake looked straight at Mladrem after that. ”We do have some empty space near here, right?”

Mladrem nodded in response. ”We do. The Krilatos Region is just a few thousand kilometers from here and is controlled by the Dragon Race. Then again, we have quite a few different demon beasts around there, including a good amount of sentient ones. That should work for a case like this.”

Placake was satisfied with the answer. ”Krilatos Region, huh? I remember when it had a different name. Oh well, it was quite a long time ago.” He put those thoughts behind his head right after. ”Anyways, Iʼll have one of the members of my Dragon Race bring you there.”

That was more than enough for Rean. ”Great! Is there anything else you need to discuss? If not, just gather the demon beasts or other racesʼ Formation Masters you have in your forces and send them to me. They have to be willing to learn and not cause trouble just because Iʼm a human.”

”Thatʼs a given.” Placake agreed with Rean. ”Rawor, I know youʼre watching. Come here.”

”U-Uncle, I didnʼt do that on purpose. Itʼs just that you suddenly left. You hadnʼt done it in so long, so I got curious when youʼd come back,” said the Blue Dragon as he appeared. He wasnʼt an Azure Dragon, though. Instead, he was a simple Water Dragon. Then again, that was still a Divine Demon Beast bloodline.

”Enough with your bullshit. You like to play with our old bloodline formations, so I think you could benefit from this quite a lot. Bring Rean there and help him find a place for his sect. After that, you can stay to learn about Circuitry Formations from him.”

Raworʼs eyes glistened in response. ”Y-Yes, uncle!” After that, he looked at Rean. ”You heard uncle. Letʼs go!”

”Uh... sure. Lead the way.” Rean simply agreed.

After the two departed, Linfia once again spoke out about her concerns. ”I think youʼre giving way too much freedom to that human.”

Placake shook his head in response. ”Youʼre very experienced, but you still couldnʼt detect any lies, right?”

Linfia didnʼt deny that. ”True. However, itʼs not like itʼs some special ability of my Blue Luan Race. Itʼs just the experience I gathered after dealing with the humanoids for so long. It isnʼt infallible.” At the same time, she thought, ʼHe also noticed my... my... ah! I have to give him a beating! No, first, I need to make sure he doesnʼt open his mouth!ʼ

Placake just smiled in response. ”Then letʼs see how things go from here on out. If you want, I can make you responsible for looking after them.”

”No way!” Linfia immediately refused. ”Why do I have to keep watching a bunch of ants 24/7? They have your claw in their bodies, so you deal with it!” Sure enough, she thought it to be beneath her to do such a thing. Itʼs just that she intended to pay Rean a visit to discuss that ʼmatter.ʼ

Placake already expected that. ”Sigh... then donʼt complain about it. Donʼt worry. Krilatos Region is very close, so I can keep my Divine Sense there if I get closer. I havenʼt done much in a long time since we stopped the devils, so it can serve as good entertainment.”

”ʼIʼll still go there to check if theyʼre doing something wrong with my bloodline formation from time to time, though.” Linfia needed an excuse to go there, and the bloodline formation she gave to Rean was the perfect one.

”Sure.” Placake didnʼt see anything wrong with that.

Mladrem was still worried. ”What about the humanoid races? Could they try something?”

Placake shook his head, saying, ”Iʼm more preoccupied with the devils. If they find out about the twinsʼ capabilities, they might try something weird. The angels have a hard time coming to the Realm of Gods due to the conquered Temporal Gap, so we canʼt expect much help from them either.”

”Hmph!” Gardo snorted after hearing the word angels. ”Most of them are probably dead already or returned to Heaven. They wouldnʼt help even if they could. Those guys only care about Heaven.”

”Thatʼs not true.” In response, Placake shook his head. ”There are still a few angels in the Realm of Gods. Donʼt forget that just like demons, angels also have a reason for wanting to come to the Realm of Gods. Well, getting help from them would still be difficult.”

”There are still some around?” Gardo was surprised to hear that. ”Forget it. If you hadnʼt mentioned it before, thatʼs because there was no need for it.”

Placake didnʼt deny it. ”Indeed. As I said, we canʼt expect much help from them.”

Gardo turned around, preparing to leave. ”Alright, Iʼll stay around as always. Call me if you need anything.”

”The same goes for me.” Mladrem also took decided to leave.

Placake nodded and looked at Linfia, asking her, ”What about you?”

”Iʼm going with you to check on a few things,” she answered. Naturally, that was a lie. She just didnʼt want to waste the opportunity and the excuse to stay with Placake.

”Suit yourself,” Placake answered.

Placake and Linfia departed straight away, leaving Mladrem and Gardo behind. The two looked at each other and sighed. ”Just why doesnʼt he notice it? Even that human saw through it.” Then again, that wasnʼt their problem, as they didnʼt want to get into a fight with Linfia. ”Forget those two. It has been like this for countless years, so itʼs useless to try and change anything now.”

In the end, the two also opened fissures in the fabric of space and disappeared inside.
