Death... and me

Chapter 1823: We Got Everyone

Rean could tell what Roan was thinking, though. 'Just take them in. We can simply tell them to head to the frontlines in the next battles. That shouldn't be a problem.'

Roan nodded in the end, saying, 'It's quite naive, but you'll definitely bother me to no end if I say no. Very well. I might find some good use for these guys.'

Olly received Roan's Divine Sense message after that, quickly moving the guy who surrendered out of the battlefield. Following that, eleven more submitted, now forced to join the Walfure Region's forces.

The battle didn't last long after that since the advantage in numbers only increased. Some of the Walfure Region's participants had to retreat for different reasons. But ultimately, the Walfure Region held the complete upper hand. With both leaders from both sides dead, the battle ended with Walfure's victory.

Celis then retracted his roots and quickly returned to his human form. Following that, the formations around the System Sect deactivated, finally getting a clear vision of the entire battlefield. Well, there was damage everywhere on the field due to the level of the fighters, but the System Sect itself was completely unscathed.

Rean returned to the Formation Hall with Havek to take a look and saw a bunch of cultivators of the sect down on the ground. It wasn't like anyone was dead, though. However, they used up most of their Divine Energy, so they were all sapped dry. And that's after Celis and the addition of Divine Stones. "Good job, everyone. Havek and I will add more slots to the formations later on so that others can share the burden with you."

As for Roan, he was outside, looking at the severely injured Space Bending Realm enemies that surrendered. Seven of them were part of the previous Crimew group, while the other five were from Jutras. "Just wait here for a moment and focus on healing your injuries. Someone will come and help you with it soon. Meanwhile, I hope all of you understand that you are now under the Walfure Region's flag. I'll have you participate in the next attacks even if you don't want it."

There were quite a few dark expressions as they looked at Roan. However, none of them said anything.

Roan was just about to continue when suddenly, the supervisors of Jutras and Crimew Region appeared above everyone, announcing, "We hereby announce that both Crimew and Jutras Regions are now under the Walfure Region's jurisdiction. Walfure Region is responsible for its defense and offense. Whether they can keep their territory or not is up to them. Also, those who surrendered are not allowed to change sides again unless Walfure also reaches a point where it will lose its territory."

"What?!" That took quite a few by surprise, including Roan. After all, even he thought internal betrayal was allowed. "Why did you add such rules all of a sudden?"

"Time," the supervisors answered. "This competition has to be over in 200 years, so we can't allow things that will drag it out. It should be a good thing for you too."

Roan obviously nodded after hearing that. "That is definitely very welcome."

As for the ones who surrendered to Walfure, they felt as terrible as they could be. Well, since only seven from one side and five from the other remained, they knew they wouldn't have much chance of coming back with a betrayal anyway.

The two supervisors then disappeared as fast as they appeared after saying those words. Not that the Walfure participants cared.

Rean then appeared outside the System Sect before telling Roan and the rest. "Well, that's a good thing for us."

One might be wondering why Roan was able to bring the sect out in the first place. After all, the system was supposed to block the twins' entrance in dangerous situations. However, the fact was a dangerous situation had never really appeared. Roan mixed himself in the middle of the Transition Realm experts when he entered the battlefield. As for the Space Bending Realm ones, none of them cared about the Transition Realm experts at all. What mattered were the other Space Bending Realms. With that said, there really wasn't anyone capable of putting Rean and Roan in danger. Of course, they checked with Sister Orb before they tried it to be sure, and she confirmed their thoughts.

"Rean, let's join forces and heal everyone. Kentucky, you help as well. We need to get everyone back to peak condition so that we can head to the other regions," said Roan.

Olly immediately asked back. "Aren't we a little late for the other regions? We did spend a few months here. By now, the battles in the other regions should be quite advanced."

Roan then took his communication badge out and checked the information from his scouts. He wasn't only focused on Crimew and the attacking Jutras. He had System Sect scouts in all other regions around Walfure. "There's no problem. The reason Crimew reached the tipping point and was allowed to bring out their Space Bending Realm participants was that we attacked it from behind. The other regions around us haven't had this problem, so they're quite far from this point. First of all, Crimew was the closest to that point to start with. That's why we also attacked it."

"If you say so..." Olly didn't mention anything after that.

Roan started to heal everyone with the help of Rean, Kentucky, and other Water Element affinity members of the Jamai Sect. Let's not forget that it wasn't only light that could heal. What was most used for healing was the Water Element. At the same time, he asked, "Rean, did you take out all the scouts? Or was someone able to escape after seeing what happened?"

"Don't worry," Kentucky was the one who answered. "No one escaped under my vigilance. Hahaha!"

"I don't trust you. How is it, Rean?"

"Hey!" Kentucky wanted to cry after hearing that.
