Death... and me

Chapter 2362 Total Advantage

Rean had his Light and Divine Sense Bending Skill activated as he traveled with Kentucky and Essefy. After entering the devil race side, their team slowed down a bit as they didn't want to be found for any other reason.

At some point, Rean felt the Divine Senses of devils. Although the war in this continent was quite disregarded by both sides, the devils here wouldn't simply let their guards down. Nonetheless, those Divine Senses were mostly in the Void Tempering Realm and below. The few Space Bending Realm Rean felt weren't anywhere near good enough to break his concealment.

Rean checked his communication badge now and then, and he could see that Zandolf's signal got weaker sometimes, and sometimes it got a little stronger. Nonetheless, it was nowhere near enough to achieve communication. 'Well, at least I know he is staying in the same place.'

'Hum?' Rean then felt a new Divine Sense, this time at the Space-Time Realm Late Stage, much to his surprise. Fortunately, Rean's group was at the very border of that Divine Sense, so it was still easy to bend it. However, what caught Rean's attention was that he could tell that Divine Sense was moving in the same direction as Zandolf's location. 'Could senior Zandolf be fighting someone there? Or is it coincidence?'

Rean quickly warned Essefy and Kentucky before they increased their pace a little. Rean made sure to not get too close to that Divine Sense either. As time passed, more Divine Senses touched Rean's bending skill. All of them were moving in the same direction even though they converged from different locations. 'Something is definitely wrong.'

The other Divine Senses were in the Elemental Space Realm and below, so Rean didn't need to be careful with those. They would only feel his group's presence if they truly stayed just by their side. Or, obviously, if they got close enough to feel them with their natural Spatial Senses. Still, knowing where the Divine Senses came from, Rean was able to stay more than far enough from them to stay hidden.

'Are you sure you want to keep going?' Essefy couldn't help but ask. He thought that they wouldn't find any troubles if they were careful. However, it was obvious that they were entering some dangerous place after hearing Rean's reports about the divine senses.

Rean nodded. 'If senior Zandolf is truly in trouble, we might be able to offer some help. Don't worry, I'll make sure that we are always far enough so no one can detect us. If it truly reaches a point where I think it would be too hard to escape, then I'll be the first one to turn around and leave. After all, it is hard to imagine these devils could hold a Divinity Realm Middle Stage cultivator in place.'

The truth was that Zandolf didn't know about these devils converging into his location. He kept walking around while keeping his presence hidden. As far as he knows, no one was supposed to know his location, so he was feeling relatively safe.

Rean then pondered a bit and had an idea. 'You all, follow me. I believe we can get there first.' Rean noticed that the devils weren't traveling that fast. In fact, they were quite slow. Otherwise, he wouldn't really be able to stay in the range of the Space-Time Realm Devil's Divine Sense range. 

By using the almost nonexistent signal of the communication system and the maps provided, Rean traced a different route that, although it would be slightly longer, would most likely avoid any of the devils' army in this continent.

Now and then, Rean's group would pass by some scouting devils, but none of them could perceive their presence as they streaked through the skies. This situation continued for a few hours until...

*Zash!*

Suddenly, a blood light flash came from the ground below, traveling the distance between Rean's group and the ground in an instant! Rean, Kentucky, and Essefy immediately noticed it and dodged, causing them to separate for a moment.

Right after, three devils flew up as their Divine Senses spread. Rean couldn't help but bitterly smile. Those three devils were in the Elemental Space Peak Stage, just like his group. The reason he didn't notice them beforehand was that they weren't with their Divine Senses spread. The moment Rean got close enough for their Natural Spatial Senses to detect him and vice-versa, it was too late.

Those three devils didn't wait for Rean, Kentucky, and Essefy to grasp the situation and immediately attacked. They could now tell that Rean's group had the same cultivation as them. With the devils' advantage in the rich Devilish Energy environment, they were pretty confident they would have the advantage.

Rean narrowed his eyes. He didn't want to waste time here since it would attract even more attention from other Devils. Surprisingly, though, his Divine Sense told him that these Devils were the only ones around 1200 kilometers, which was Rean's Divine Sense's maximum range. 'Sigh... the difference to the mortal realm is so ridiculously high. Back on Sunkan Planet, I could literally cover the entire planet with my Divine Sense. Yet, here in the Realm of Gods...'

Rean quickly put those thoughts behind him and decided before looking at Kentucky. 'If we are fast enough, we can eliminate them before they can warn anyone else. Kentucky, let's do it!'

Kentucky understood what Rean meant, and he quickly started the battle against his opponent.

Essefy, too, was intercepted by the last Devil, and was quickly forced back. 'Shit! If it wasn't for all this fucking Devilish Energy and Dark Element...' Still, he could at least hold his ground. 

However, when he looked at Rean and Kentucky, he immediately got worried. 'What is happening?!'

Rean and Kentucky were being completely suppressed. They were indeed fighting with the power of a Peak Stage Elemental Space Realm expert, but they were nowhere near the strength they showed back in the Limigo Region. The two devils fighting them had the total advantage!
