Death... and me

Chapter 1964 Lizard

Rean and Roan separated and went after more information about what was happening. Because the topic was so widespread, they knew they would surely find devils who knew more.

In the end, it wasn't really a teleport formation capable of sending devils to other continents. After all, that would be too expensive. So, the spatial gates instead connected to the traversal cities near the continental barrier's border, where the devils came out. Once they were in the city, they would pass into the next city on the other continent and only then take another spatial gate connecting to the next.

'That's pretty much the system used in the humanoid races,' Rean said through their Soul Connection.

He was right. It's just that instead of spatial gates, teleport formations were used instead to do the same thing. In fact, those spatial gates had to be kept by the Elder Devils themselves since they were a lot more unstable. One must remember that Elder Devils were equivalent to what Fosleve or Placake were in their territories.

Roan decided on what they were going to do. 'So be it. Let's head to the City Formations Building. The devils that are arriving at this city are coming from there through normal teleport formations after they arrive in Triffer. If we go to Triffer, we might be able to use the spatial gates to go to the Temporal Path's entrance.'

Another reason they wanted to leave this city was because of the devils they killed in the Living Domes as well.

'Talking about Living Domes, to think that all devil cities are surrounded by several of them,' Rean added. 'The devils from other cities and continents told me that it's practically impossible to find a devil city without at least a few of those places.'

Roan nodded in response. 'They packed as much of the living beings inside the domes as possible. By making sure they had enough food and Divine Energy, those domes became the perfect breeding grounds. Then again, there's nothing we can do about it.'

Rean sighed in response. 'At least the demon beasts, humanoids, and spirits are planning to drive the devils back to the Underworld.'

Roan then met up with Rean at the City Formations Building, where they could see the teleport formations activate every once in a while. The number of devils that arrived was definitely much higher than the ones leaving, showing that devils were being brought to the borders nonstop.

They ignored that and approached the counter. "We wish to go to Triffer City. How many Divine Stones will that be?"

The devil there looked at the twins, telling them, "Void Tempering Realm devils? With your cultivation, there's no need to pay. Just stand on one of the formations and wait for enough devils to gather. Once the necessary number is reached, you'll be teleported away." Sure enough, the devils also had their own system in place for high-level devils. The difference between those at the Void Tempering Realm and those below was easily seen in such situations.

Rean and Roan arrived at the formation and joined a few other devils who also wanted to teleport away. A few were at the Soul Transformation Realm and above, but the majority were at the Nascent Soul Realm and below. The twins could also hear that these devils seemed to be afraid of what was going to happen and were trying to get away from the borders as fast as possible. Not all devils considered war a chance to acquire more souls, after all.

Yet, Rean and Roan seemed to be the only ones in the Void Tempering Realm. Or, to be more specific, the only ones in a realm where they could interfere with space.

"Hmm?" Though, that didn't last long before another one appeared. "The Dark Element from your bodies. You're not from here, right?"

The duo looked at the devil, who had just appeared. he was obviously a bestial devil as he looked more like a lizard on two legs. Of course, just like all other devils, he had horns and red eyes. Not to mention the obvious Dark Element coming from his body.

Rean and Roan also found something new in Fraghal City while they investigated. Unlike demon beasts, bestial devils were sentient from the start. They didn't need to reach a certain cultivation level to develop it. Well, the lizard devil in front of them was definitely in the Void Tempering Realm. They could tell it through their Divine Senses and especially because the Devil got close enough to enter the range of their spatial perceptions.

Roan looked at the lizard guy with a dark expression in response. "So what?"

The lizard raised his hands, trying to show he didn't want trouble. "Hey, come on. Why so hostile? There's no problem with it at all. A lot of devils are coming from the Temporal Path. You're far from the only ones. In fact, I'm also one of them. Look at my Dark Element, and you'll easily notice it."

Fortunately, thanks to Roan's proficiency with Dark Element, the twins could indeed tell the difference between the Dark Elements among devils. After the time they spent gathering information, they learned the difference between the local and foreign devils. That's because the amount of Dark Element in the environment affected the devils' Dark Element itself. Roan had to admit that most, if not all, devils were extremely proficient in Dark Element, as those differences were quite subtle.

"I can tell you came from somewhere else." Rean agreed with the lizard. "However, did you come from the Temporal Path or from some other city?"

The lizard smiled in response. "Hehe! Obviously, I came from the Temporal Path. It's just that I decided to go back to the Underworld. Aren't you the same?"

Rean and Roan looked at each other before shaking their heads at the lizard. "We were born in the Realm of Gods, so we haven't been to the Underworld yet. Though, we are planning to go to the Underworld at the moment."
