Death… And Me

Chapter 2541 Source of Energy

?”Letʼs play!”

*Boom!*

The Fragmentʼs sentience burst out of the ruined construction, charging at Lotar. However, even though it was filled with Light and Dark Element, it used only its Light, knowing that Shadow Ferals were pretty much immune to Dark Element.

Lotar didnʼt stay put either, charging right back at it. His Dark Red Flames covered his own body, using it as a means of protection against the Fragmentʼs Light Element.

*Bang!*

The power of Light and Dark struck each other, forcing everyone below the Space-Time Realm to fly into the distance. Iolanda was only able to stay put thanks to Rean, who shielded her with Kentuckyʼs help. Rean then grabbed Fuhiro and Kijia with his Divine Energy, distancing himself from the battlefield. ”Letʼs retreat, for now, Kentucky.”

Kentucky nodded, and he brought Iolanda away as well. Both Rean and Kentucky could tell that Lotar was fighting a defensive battle due to their presence. If they continued there, Lotar would definitely fall into a disadvantage.

Several kilometers away, Rean and Kentucky observed Lotarʼs Battle against the Fragment. Both the Fragment and Lotar seemed to be on a more or less equal term, so that fight definitely wouldnʼt be over anytime soon.

”Master, what do we do?” Other than Lotar, the Shadow Ferals had no Divinity Realm Shadow Ferals. However, they did have a few Space-Time Realm ones. Four of them came in to help with this expedition. The one who just asked was one of those four, called Tugis... and Rean remembered he was also one of the Shadow Ferals who first mated with Iolanda when she recovered her memories.

Iolanda narrowed her eyes as she looked in the distance. ”Iʼm still in the Space-Bending Realm. My comprehension is too low for me to determine a course of action. Tugis, you are in the Space-Time Realm Late Stage. What do you think of Lotarʼs situation?”

Within the Space-Time Realm Shadow Ferals, Tugis had the highest cultivation; thatʼs why Iolanda asked him. ”The power difference between Space-Time and Divinity is just too big. Even if I was at the Peak Stage of the Space-Time Realm, I doubt I would be of much use. It pains me to say so, but if the four of us Space-Time Realm Shadow Beasts try to help senior Lotar, we will only get in his way.”

Rean then approached Tugis while looking at the battle in the distance. Tugis narrowed his eyes. Even though Iolanda said that Rean and Kentucky were to be considered friends of their race, he still didnʼt like him; none of the Shadow Ferals did. ”What?”

Rean ignored Tugisʼs rudeness and pointed to the battle. ”Tugis, since you reached the Late Stage of the Space-Time Realm, you have already understood a few sub-laws of the Major Law you are comprehending. Your perception towards the laws is definitely better than mine since I just recently entered this realm. Please tell me, do you feel something weird with the Light and Black Beast fighting Lotar?”

Tugis found that question a little weird, but he still closed his eyes and cast his perception in that direction. They couldnʼt use Divine Sense in this place, so it was hard to tell what Rean meant. However, a few seconds later, Tugis understood. ”Thatʼs weird... I canʼt feel any laws in the attacks used by that Light and Dark Beast.”

”So I wasnʼt wrong...” Rean nodded. ”That beast, spirit, or whatever it is, canʼt use laws. Yet, it is able to fight senior Lotar on equal terms. Why is that?”

Tugis and the other Shadow Beasts in the Space-Time Realm knew it better than anyone else. Those who used the laws to aid their combat power were always several levels above those who didnʼt. Lotar was definitely using his own laws and should have noticed it as well. ”How can it be that strong without laws?” Tugis couldnʼt help but ask as well.

”Thatʼs not the question,” Rean shook his head. ”It is obviously using an excessive amount of energy to be able to match Lotar, who is using Laws. If that thing is already that strong, why did it wait until now to show its hand?”

Kentucky knew what Rean was talking about. ”You mean there is a source from which it is dragging energy, right?”

Tugis and the others immediately looked at Rean, who nodded. ”Yes, thatʼs the only possible explanation. It hasnʼt been used until now because it didnʼt want to spend its energy. That means... if we can find this source...”

Iolanda didnʼt waste time and passed her orders to all the Shadow Ferals behind. They had brought thousands of them, so it was just perfect for a search party. ”All of you, spread and look for anything that looks like a source of energy. Report back to me as soon as you find anything.”

*Roar!*

Immediately, the Shadow Beasts spread everywhere, flying in different directions. Some even buried themselves in the earth and traveled underground to make sure they were searching everywhere.

Of course, Tugis and the other Space-Time Realm Shadow Beasts went nowhere. Without Lotar nearby, they were Iolandaʼs royal guard. They would definitely not leave her side.

Tugis then looked at Rean. ”Not bad.”

Rean smiled. ”Itʼs nothing. You guys would have noticed that sooner or later.”

Following that, he looked in Kijia and Fuhiroʼs direction. ”Now then, how about we talk a little?”

Fuhiro had his cultivation sealed, but he didnʼt seem to fear his situation. ”You were supposed to help our Holamenor Clan, not fight against it.”

Rean shook his head. ”I donʼt want to fight you. I consider Senior Waremis and Spiegel good friends. However, so is Aelrie... or she was. I now understand the Aelrie I first met in the Realm of Gods is already gone. Why were you doing this? Angels abhors other bloodlines, so why would you change Iolandaʼs memories for her to think she was part of your Clan?”

Kijia laughed after hearing that. ”Thatʼs not entirely correct. Our Holamenor Clan reached a decision after the Soul Worms event. We wish to welcome the Shadow Ferals Bloodline into our own.”

”What?!” Let alone Rean, even Iolanda and the other Shadow Ferals were taken aback. Sure enough, none of them expected it.
