Death... and me

Chapter 1850: Until Next Time

It took some time before Rean got the knack of copying the demon's body structure. After all, the differences weren't just external but internal as well. Things like the horn, for example, were things he couldn't create, so he used his Light bending skill to make it look like he had them. The red eyes were easier, as he just needed to drive the blood inside to his eyes. With his Light Element and knowledge of the human body, it wasn't anything that hard.

"Phew..." Rean took a deep breath as Dark Element emanated from his body. "How is it? Do I look like a demon? Of course, I have the fake horns, but we won't bring them out unless the demons ask to see our demonized bodies. I want your opinion on the overall transformation. Do I look like a demon even without the demonized form?"

Turen was really impressed by Rean's transformation. It wasn't something one could identify with Divine Sense since Rean truly changed the internal structure of his body. "That's very, very good. If anything, I would call you a high-ranked demon without thinking twice. Just that alone would open many doors in the Underworld or on the northeast side of the Realm of Gods."

Roan checked the two unconscious demons and then Rean before saying, "The natural Dark Element in their bodies seem to have been well copied by you. Well, as Sister Orb always says, I'm supposed to be the epitome of Dark Element, so your Dark Element, which comes from me, is a lot purer than theirs."

Naturally, Rean was happy to hear their opinions. "Great! I already memorized how to do this transformation, so I'll share it through our connection, Roan. Try to do the same thing I did."

Roan nodded and received Rean's memories. A few minutes later, his internal structure, as well as his external features, changed. If anything, Roan looked a lot more convincing in his fake demon form since he was the real Dark Element user. "This is definitely superb."

Turen then waved his hand as Spatial Power gathered around the two demons. Not too long after that, Fratekla and Rlakux completely disappeared from their sight. "Alright, that should conclude this part of the plan. Of course, you should refrain from heading to the northeast side of the Realm of Gods, the demons' territory, for now. After all, you won't be able to hide your Pocket Dimensional Realm. I can see that someone helped you two conceal it. However, when it comes to someone at my level, hiding it is simply impossible. We're too sensitive to things related to space."

The twins nodded after hearing that. Philip in Jhiod Continent was the one who helped them conceal their Dimensional Realm's presence. Yet, they had already revealed it during the competition. Of course, they understood why Turen said that. "In the demons' territory, no one knows that we have Pocket Dimensional Realms. If two unknown demons at the Transition Realm suddenly appear there with their own Pocket Dimensional Realms, that would be way too suspicious. Pocket Dimensional Realms are supposed to be very hard to get, after all. Not to mention that one shouldn't be able to have them before the Void Tempering Realm."

"Correct," Turen confirmed their words. "If I were you, I wouldn't go there before I reach the Space Bending Realm. It'll still be somewhat suspicious, but at least not as much as having them at the Transition Realm. You can just come up with some excuse at that point. Of course, it's not like you will find experts at my level in every corner. Try to keep your Pocket Dimensional Realm hidden while you're there."

The twins nodded once again. "Understood."

Rean then decided to ask something else. "By the way, dad. What exactly do you intend to do with those demons? The female one is the granddaughter of one of the big guys, right?"

"Hehehe!" Turen laughed in response, telling Rean, "Krankax will definitely ask for the fragment back, but there's no way I would give it to him. In the end, he can only retrieve his granddaughter. For demons in his position, the bloodlines of his descendants are very important. I'm thinking about asking for a few benefits to be brought to my Temporal Gap in the Temporal Passage. I will also ask for information regarding the Vruve organization."

Roan understood. "You don't know if anyone in the Vruve Organization has a fragment. However, considering their power, it's pretty much certain they have at least one, right?"

Turen nodded, saying, "Exactly. I want to see if I can exchange Krankax's granddaughter for information about it. If possible, get the name of whoever has it. The Vruve Organization is shrouded in too much fog, and the long time I've been cooped up in the Temporal Gap hasn't helped much with the acquisition of information. With that being said, this is a great opportunity. If I determine that it's necessary, I'll contact you through the Thoughts Transmission Talismans."

*Rumble...*

Suddenly, the room they were in at the moment began to tremble. However, it only lasted a few seconds as Turen used his Spatial Powers to stabilize it. "Sigh... seems like we're running out of time. It won't be long before everyone notices that I left the Temporal Gap, so I need to go back. Rean, Roan, we'll have to part ways here."

The twins nodded with determination in their eyes. "Don't worry, we'll look for mother while we're out there."

Turen smiled after hearing that. "I'm sure you will. However, make sure to prioritize your lives. If there comes a moment where you need to choose between the fragments and yourselves, just give them away. There's always hope while you're alive."

Turen then got up and used his control over space to catch the twins. "I'm sending you out right where I stopped your battle against Fratekla and Rlakux. You can simply use the fragments to exit the ruins. Farewell, boys."

"We'll be back, dad. You can be certain of it," said Rean and Roan in response.

At the very next moment, the space around the twins blurred before they disappeared from the room.
