Death… And Me

Chapter 1948 Then Thatʼs Decided

In the Dimensional Realm, Roan asked Sister Orb to check on the two. ”Sister Orb, is there any type of signal coming from their bodies thatʼs trying to escape the Dimensional Realm?”

[Nope. You, Rean, Calina, and Qia have the claws of the Azure Dragon. The connection it has with the Azure Dragon is very clear. However, Alen and Fay donʼt have anything like that.]

”Thatʼs good to hear,” Roan answered. ”We can send them away.” Without wasting time, Roan made them disappear from the System Sect. By now, they had already bidden their farewells to Calina and the others, so there wasnʼt really a need for them to wait.

With that, Alen and Fay appeared inside the sect at some point, like any other member that used the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. After that, they went to the Mission Hall and took one of the many tasks from the System Sect that asked the member to leave the sect. The System Sect had been around for over two decades, after all. They now knew their territory and the surrounding territories very well, constantly sending their members over.

The two then registered an item-gathering mission that required the member to leave the System Sectʼs territory. Ran had also prepared the System Sect to recognize the two as the other fake members, so no one would find it strange. Eventually, Fay and Alen stepped on one of the teleport formations in the Formation Hall and disappeared.

The teleport formations in the Formation Hall didnʼt go very far, as the demon beasts didnʼt want that. Their maximum distance was the sect territoryʼs borders in relation to other demon beast territories. After all, other than defending against enemies similar to Placake in level, the demon beasts wouldnʼt intervene with what happened to the System Sectʼs members. Thatʼs why it was normal for those borders to exist, and many System Sect disciples fought demon beasts inside and outside of it.

From there, Fay and Alen headed out without catching anyoneʼs attention. Even the Divine Senses that covered the System Sectʼs territory didnʼt pay much attention to them at all. There were too many System Sect members that often went out. With Placakeʼs tracker on the twins and their friends, they werenʼt very concerned either.

Back inside the Dimensional Realm, Rean let out a sigh. ”Alright, they are gone.”

After that, he looked at Calina and said, ”Qia told me that you knew we were leaving as well.”

Roan was taken aback for a moment as he looked at Calina. ”You knew? How?”

Calina giggled when she heard that. ”Hehe. Itʼs just too obvious. Qia told me that Rean had taught the demon beastsʼ Formation Masters everything they needed to know already. After this, Rean would only be necessary as a safety measure in case the formations experienced some problem they couldnʼt easily resolve. However, any kind of problem could be solved by them or with Havekʼs help through the communication system itself. Thatʼs why we knew that you two would eventually have to continue with your quest.”

Roan narrowed his eyes for a moment but didnʼt deny it. ”Thatʼs true. We need to leave, and we canʼt bring you guys with us. I just hope you wonʼt make things difficult.”

”Itʼs fine.” Calina didnʼt seem to want to do that anyway. ”Qia and I know that we would be nothing more than burdens to you two. At the moment, even Zuo is stronger than us, thanks to his Magnetism Affinity. We donʼt want to hold you guys back.”

Roan looked at Rean, who nodded back in response. ”Qia told me the same thing. Iʼm as surprised as you are. Qia is willing to stay behind since theyʼll be safe in the Dragon Raceʼs territory.”

Roan looked back at Calina, who just smiled at him. ”No need to say anything. I know you very well. Make sure to bring the two sides of the universe back together.”

”I canʼt promise such a thing, but Iʼll definitely try,” Roan answered.

”Master!” Zuo couldnʼt help but call Roan over. ”If youʼre leaving, Iʼm going too!”

Roan shook his head, though. ”You wonʼt come. Instead, Calina, Qia, and especially you will take my Void Shattering Pills. You have improved a lot during these two decades and something. I want you to protect them for me and work on your own method to improve your Magnetism Affinity.”

”But...” Zuo obviously didnʼt want it.

However, Roan didnʼt let him continue. ”No buts. Do you intend to stay under my watch for the rest of your life? Thatʼs not necessary. Your cultivation didnʼt progress as quickly as Luanʼs while you were out, but your life experience definitely did. Why do you think Rean and I sent Fay and Alen out? Because they needed it. The same goes for you. Even Calina and Qia will have to do something to improve by themselves, and having you around should make it better for all of you.”

”What about me, father?” Luan obviously was there as well.

”I wanted to tell you the same thing, Luan,” Roan answered. ”I will have to ask you to come with me. In the end, we need your hybrid eyes during our journey. However, I wonʼt make things easy for you. If you come, you better be ready for a lot of danger, especially when I send you out on your own.”

Yet, Roan still gave him another option. ”Of course, I wonʼt force you. If you want to stay with Zuo, Calina, and Qia, you can do so. You and Zuo are quite good training partners for each other, so itʼs not a bad idea.”

”Thatʼs not fair...” Zuo looked at Luan with jealousy. ”Give me one of your eyes.”

”Hmph!” Luan snorted back in response. ”Even if it was possible, who the hell would do that?”

To be more specific, Zuo and Luan always felt more like rivals than friends, not that Roan found it a bad thing.

In any case, Luanʼs answer was obvious. ”Father, Iʼm obviously going with you. My eyes are ready for any mission.”

Roan nodded in response. ”Then thatʼs decided.”
