Death... and me

Chapter 2239 I'm Going

While the twins were having their moment, the Archangel almost lost his mind. "What the hell is that?!" He quickly took a seal from inside his Pocket Dimensional Realm and began to send his Divine Sense Inside. 'Attack them! Kill them! Move! Now!'

Yet, the Wraith seemed to get quite intimate with Roan. It's not that it didn't receive the orders, but that Roan's control over it was many times superior to the seal in the Archangel's seal. "Fuck this shit!" He decided to attack the twins once again.

Yet, how could Jeskli allow that? He quickly assaulted the Archangel once again, forcing him to pay attention to himself. "Hahahaha! I don't know how the hell they did that, but I can't possibly let you intervene, right? Those creatures that keep attacking from within the space also seem to be terrified of that Wraith, so it is even better. Rean, Roan, Luan, just go. I'll keep this friend here company."

The moment the Archangel heard the twins' name, he paused for a moment. Yet, he quickly shook his head and focused once again on the battle. This time, he truly held nothing back and began to assault Jeskli with everything he had.

Jeskli more than welcomed that. He wasn't afraid of an Archangel at all since he was a Minokawa. He had Light Element Affinity. Not only that, he also had Dark Element Affinity, which gave him a slight advantage against the Archangel too.

Rean, Roan, and Luan didn't care about what was happening in the battle of Divinity Realm Level experts. There was nothing they could do about it anyway. They simply turned around and immediately began to follow Lua, who guided them through the hidden slaughtering formations.

At the same time, Roan ordered the Wraith. "Keep the creatures away from us."

*Wraaaaaaaaa!!!*

The Wraith immediately accepted the orders and covered the surroundings with its ghostly powers. There wasn't a need for it to attack anything. Just that power alone made the creatures too terrified to get close. Even the Archangel's orders were useless in making the creature's fears disappear.

"Increase your pace, Luan. This guy won't last much longer," said Roan.

Rean obviously got curious. "What do you mean?"

Their group continued to run, as Roan explained. "I don't know exactly how this guy was created, but the souls used for it to take form are dissipating very fast. This guy is some kind of soul devil without the advantage of being able to keep his form. It seems like he has been used quite a few times in the past too. That said, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes before he finally collapses. There is nothing I can do about it, and I don't really want to stop it either. The souls used in it will be able to at least go back to the reincarnation path."

"That's more than enough," Luan was confident. "Keep following me up closely, Father, Uncle Rean. We will take the fastest route."

Luan then dodged all the formations, having to get quite close to a few to save time. The Wraith followed dutifully, although Roan could see it was feeling quite some pain due to the seal of control in the hands of the Archangel. It might not work anymore, but it still got the punishment for going against the Archangel's wishes.

Thankfully, with no more creatures on their way, they arrived at the top of the mountain within the time limit while Jeskli held the Archangel back.

*Wrrrr....aaaaa...*

Roan narrowed his eyes as he could see the souls of the Wraith disappearing even faster. In the end, he just touched it with his hand before using Rean's Light Element. "You can go now. Thanks for the help."

With Rean's Light Element, Roan sped up the process and completely dissipated the Wraith.

Rean couldn't help but ask. "Wouldn't it have been better to wait until we understand this barrier? Without the Wraith, the creatures should come after us anytime now."

Roan shook his head. "Don't worry. The ghostly powers it created should last a few more minutes. Besides, Jeskli already said in the communication badge that he and the Archangel are going all out. Their battle won't last much longer at that pace. Yet, this is the Archangel's territory, so we shouldn't rely on his victory. In the few minutes we have, we need to find out what is happening and do something."

Rean nodded and looked at Luan. "Luan, can you see anything?"

Luan immediately shook his head. "This cubic Light Barrier has too much Light Element. The Light Element is blocking my vision of what is behind it."

Rean also asked Sister Orb. 'What do you think?'

[What is there to think? It is a barrier formation. Like I said before, there is another formation inside it that is using most of the environments energy, but I don't know what that one is. Also, I won't be able to hack into this thing any time soon, so you are on your own.]

Rean sighed and could only give it a try. He was refraining from touching it as he had never seen this kind of barrier formation before. Now, however, he had to do it if he wanted to use his Divine Sense to check it.

He slowly touched the Light Element Barrier, trying to send his Divine Sense inside. Yet, as soon as he did that, his hand passed straight through it. "Woa!"

Rean quickly took his hand away before he fell inside the barrier. "Is it really a barrier? I almost passed right through."

Roan gave it a try.

*Bzzzzz!*

Yet, as soon as he touched the barrier, his hand was repealed by a burst of Light Element. "It seems like it only allows beings of pure Light Element to enter. Something tells me the Archangel didn't expect to find anything like this in here."

Roan was absolutely correct. Usually, this barrier would keep anything that wasn't part of the Angel Races outside. There weren't other beings like the angels in this place, so the barrier was supposed to be very effective for the Archangel's plans. Yet, Rean just happened to be here.

Luan also gave it a try, but just like Roan, his hand was also repealed by the Light Element.

Seeing that, Rean knew he only had two options. "I can enter alone, or you can enter the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, and then you come out once I appear on the other side."

Roan shook his head. "Luan and I will stay here. Neither he nor I have any knowledge of formations, so we would be useless inside. I would rather keep an eye on the battle of Jeskli and the Archangel. Besides, you can simply share your memories with me while inside."

Rean accepted the idea. "Very well, I'm going."
