Death… And Me

Chapter 2630  Disciple For Way Longer

Roan went silent for a moment before continuing. ʼHow much of all of this was part of your plan? Was my creation also related to it?ʼ

Kafan shook his head. ʼAll I can tell you at the moment is that becoming a Death Spirit Copy was inevitable. But understand this: Iʼm your master, and you are my disciple. This relationship has never changed and will never change. I was able to bring you back to a real life by sending you with the system, and I donʼt regret it.ʼ

Rean could hear everything through his connection with Roan since Roan was allowing that at the moment. ʼDid you notice?ʼ Rean asked Roan through their soul connection, not allowing anyone else other than Roan and Sister Orb to hear. Roan glanced at him. ʼNotice what?ʼ

[I didnʼt notice anything either. He refuses to talk about Roanʼs past, after all.]

Roan agreed with Sister Orb, but he knew Rean had caught something. ʼJust speak.ʼ

ʼI might be wrong,ʼ Rean added before speaking what he thought. ʼWhen he said that you had always been his disciple, his tone seemed somewhat... different.ʼ

[So? Whatʼs the problem? He just thinks highly of Roan as he always did.]

Roan was not an idiot. Sister Orb might not have understood, but how could he not? ʼCould we go truly this far back?ʼ

Rean nodded. ʼAs I mentioned, I might be wrong. It was just a feeling I got when he spoke like that. It is not really worth thinking too much about it since you donʼt intend to awaken your memories, which means we would never get the answer anyway.ʼ

Rean then reinforced. ʼI wonʼt change my opinion. I still think it is better if you never wake up your memories. After all, you might not be yourself anymore after that. It is different from our ability to share memories with each other. In our case, we know very well which memories are ours and which ones are not, so they donʼt affect our self-awareness. Your sealed memories, on the other hand, were also yours from the start. They could truly end up mixing, or the old ones might even overtake yours now.ʼ

Roan obviously understood that. Sister Orb couldnʼt hold back anymore. [Stop fucking talking in riddles! Can you explain what the hell Rean noticed when he said ʼyou had always been his disciples and will always be?ʼ I canʼt see what is wrong, and thatʼs making me crazy!]

ʼFine!ʼ Rean relented, ʼHe said that Roan had always been his disciple, but his tone seemed different at that point. What I think is that Roan has been Kafanʼs disciple not only during his time as a Death Spirit Copy but also before that.ʼ

[Are you saying Roan was already Kafanʼs disciple in his previous life?] Sister Orb finally understood.

ʼYes,ʼ Rean didnʼt know what to do with that orb. ʼNow, letʼs hear what they say.ʼ

Roan ignored Sister Orbʼs antics and returned his attention to Kafan. ʼIʼll be straight with you, entering the Hidden Realm is part of a Quest that the system offered that could potentially help us a lot... although we arenʼt really sure what will happen if we complete it.ʼ

Roan wasnʼt lying. The system said that it would add Yin Yand Essence Energy in the next Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade. However, what else would happen to that Dimensional Realm they still didnʼt know. Nonetheless, it would only be worth upgrading the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm if they got this quest concluded. After all, Rean could use the Yin Yang Essence to upgrade all their equipment, which ultimately would increase their overall strength. Solar Essence had already reached its limit.

ʼI quest, uh?ʼ Kafan pondered a bit. ʼThen I wonʼt stop you. Well, even if there wasnʼt a quest, I wouldnʼt stop you either. This is your decision to make. If you truly which to recover your memories, breaking the crystal I gave you is all you need to do, so there really isnʼt a need for me to talk.ʼ

Kafan then looked around and could see the Semi-Celestials were almost done speaking with their groups. ʼWell then, this is as far as I can talk. Iʼm also aiming to enter the Celestial Realm... if such a thing is even possible, so Iʼm going with the other Semi-Celesitals. Roan, I wonʼt be able to protect you in there, so this is another reason for you to not enter the Hidden Realm other than the risk of awakening your memories.ʼ

Kafan then turned around and returned to the side of the other Semi-Celestials. Quite a few eyes fell on the twinsʼ group. After all, Kafan seemed to be related to them. Gragatou wasnʼt surprised, though. He knew about the trip the twins made to the other side of the Universe and the fact Roan was Kafanʼs disciple. Itʼs just that the Semi-Celestials wouldnʼt go around talking about other Semi-Celestialsʼ business.

Once the Semi-Celestials gathered again, Gragatou took the chance to speak. ”We are now entering. I wish you all good luck.”

The Semi-Celestials didnʼt hesitate and took the forefront. At the very least, they would be the ones to enter first, possibly dealing with the dangers inside the Hidden Realm for those coming behind. Of course, after that, they would move on their own, and the rest would be left behind.

The Semi-Celestials disappeared inside the Spatial Tunnel, leaving everyone staring at it. Yet, no one wanted to be the first to enter.

The twins could tell why. Most likely, the Semi-Celestials had Soul Flames left behind. If they died, their Soul Flames would extinguish. These groups were simply waiting to see if their Thoughts Transmission Talismans would activate, saying that the Semi-Celestials of their backgrounds died. If that happened, then they definitely wouldnʼt step inside.

Yet, no one received any message. Several minutes passed, and finally, the first group decided to follow. After all, the Semi-Celestials might have cleared the danger and then left. If they waited too long, such dangers might return and take them by surprise, considering the Semi-Celesitals had already left the entrance range.

That group caused a wave of movement, and everyone else quickly followed suit. Even Landeau and his Essence Race members did not lag behind. Still, he noticed with his Divine Sense that the twins were still not following. ʼWell, I delivered them to Kafan, so they have nothing to do with me anymore.ʼ

Just like that, the twins were the only ones left outside... with a few exceptions.
