Death... and me

Chapter 2600  To The Bottom

Following that decision, the crowd dispersed. Demon beasts went back to the Demon Beasts' territories while the people stayed in the system sect. Rean and Roan didn't waste time. They left the Dimensional Realm and left Qia and Calina in the system sect of the Dragon Race. Naturally, Fay and Alen were also left with Qia and Calina.

By now, both sects had already exchanged numbers and would be able to communicate as long as the twins were within the communication system range. Rean then prepared to leave with Roan when suddenly, Fay asked him to wait.

"Dad..." Fay seemed somewhat struggling to talk.

Rean, on the other hand, just smiled. "Is it about everything you found out about Roan and me? About our objective?"

Fay nodded slightly. After spending so long with everyone in the Dimensional Realm, she had little doubt the twins were truly on a journey to save the Universe. It wasn't wrong to say they were on a journey to save her life and her mother's, too. "I... I'm sorry..."

Rean then pulled her over, giving Faya a hug, something that the previous Fay absolutely wouldn't let happen. Yet now... She also hugged back. "Good luck. I'm sure... you will convince that turtle..."

Rean nodded and turned around to leave. Roan, obviously, did the same, which made Rean curious. 'How were things with that lazy kid?' He was asking about Alen.

Roan narrowed his eyes for a moment. 'Even though he now knows the whole truth, that only made him more scared than he usually is. But...' Roan then remembered that Alen's expression seemed to have changed once he understood that even Calina would die if they failed to save the Universe. 'He should be fine... I think.'

Rean smiled after hearing that. 'That's good to know.'

"Alright!" Kentucky immediately flapped his wings and dove down. Rean kept illuminating the path ahead since Divine Energy and Natural Spatial Perception were also disrupted here. This time, because they knew exactly what to expect, Kentucky only took one hour to cross the threshold separating the Flash Beasts' Territory and the upper layers. *Roar!*

Sure enough, a Flash Beast appeared just a few minutes later. It wasn't a very strong one, though. The twins made short work of it with their strength as Kentucky continued on his way down.

Of course, one Flash Beast was far from enough. More and More of them noticed the twins' presence and came after them.

"There it is!" Suddenly, Rean pointed in a certain direction. He could see the colored fragments again. Those were the fragments that could one day become flash beasts. Yet, at the moment, they could be used to pull them down the Depths much faster than Kentucky himself. By using the same method as before, Rean approached one of those Fragmetns before it could escape. He completely ignored the several Flash Beasts coming for them from all sides. Kentucky and Roan then entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, leaving only Rean outside.

*Grab!*

*Zush!*

The small fragment that looked like a colored crystal was immediately spooked and flashed down with all its power. Naturally, Rean, who was holding onto it, was pulled together. In less than a second, the fragment surpassed Kentucky's speed and only got faster.

Sure enough, the Flash Beasts were left behind, eating dust. The fragment went right and left, hitting Rean against the walls of the Depths of the Continental Barrier. Well, Rean was already used to it since he had gone through such an experience before. Now, his body and cultivation were several times stronger, so he didn't even to change places with Roan to hold into the little fragment of colored crystal.

'As expected,' Rean mentioned. 'Once they are caught, they all charge into the bottom of the Continental Barrier Depths.'

Roan agreed from inside the Dimensional Realm. 'That makes me wonder. Could it be that these small fragments are actually part of Hyeoumu himself?'

'That might be the case,' Rean also considered that possibility. 'Anyway, the distance to the bottom varies depending on where we enter. Nonetheless, it shouldn't take long for us to reach Hyeoumu's shell.'
