Death… And Me

Chapter 1994 A Lot To Explain



Chapter 1994 A Lot To Explain

Sometime later, Malado received a message from the other devils while he fought Losferu. Malado definitely had the advantage, but when he saw the contents of the message, he immediately turned around and left.

'What?' Losferu was obviously surprised by that. However, he quickly understood why Malado would leave him all of a sudden. 'Young Master Fagund must have escaped. No, they didn't know about Fagund. It was Tapir and those brothers. Tapir succeeded in bringing those brothers away somehow.'

Losferu didn't want to stay there and check, though. He also flew outside the area near the Path of Reincarnation and opened another fissure in space. With that, he also disappeared from there.

Traveling through space was as fast as always, especially since the Underworld didn't have continental barriers. Thanks to that, another fissure appeared in space as Tapir came out while carrying everyone else. "That... was close..."

"Phew!" Rean was the happiest to be away from that. "Man, I'm completely dry. I've never thought that enhancing a High Devil would consume so much energy. How long did it last, not even a minute?"

Roan nodded in response. "Pretty much. And that's considering I helped you in the latter part. The cultivation difference was just too big."

Tapir looked at the twins with a different look on his face. "Why didn't you use the Living Soul Crystal I gave you, then? It's good that we escaped, but you wouldn't have ended up without energy so quickly as you are now. I refuse to believe you trust me that much."

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. "Let's just say that I'm not that different from you."

Suddenly, Rean's group, including Fleus and Fagund, was pulled by Rui's Spatial Powers. Tapir had sent Rui a Divine Sense message the moment they arrived, so he was already expecting that.

In the meeting hall, the twins were once again put in front of Rui. It's just that the other elders from the last time were not present, except, obviously, for Tapir.

Rui looked at Tapir first, asking for his confirmation. "Is that true? Did you really get attacked near the Path of Reincarnation?"

Tapir quickly confirmed. "It's the truth. It was definitely the Mephisto Clan. Elder Devil Mephisto has the Underworld Relic in his hands at the moment, so he definitely doesn't want to lose it."

Rui's expression was as dark as it could be. The agreement between the Elder Devils was, above all, created so that the top experts of the Underworld wouldn't simply kill themselves. Every Elder Devil could feel the Relic's presence, after all. "What the hell is Mephisto thinking?! Our territory in the Realm of Gods is about to be invaded. We were supposed to stick to the rules more than ever. Is he out of his mind?!"

Fagund thought about something. "It shouldn't be because of my meeting with the angels, right?"

"No." Roan was the one to answer that. "Did you forget? He wanted to kill Gean and me because of our display in the Path of Reincarnation's periphery. My brother and I don't know what you talked with the angels about, but you made it pretty clear that things would have been many times worse if they knew."

Rui glanced at Roan for a moment, wondering if he should just lock those brothers up. He gave up on the idea, though. If the twins wanted to say anything, they could have simply used their Divine Sense to tell the devils that attacked them about everything, such as how Fagund was the next Clan Master... about how the Light Devil Clan met the angels... but even with all of that, they didn't.

Fleus was more interested in something else, though. "Errr... sorry to interrupt, clan master. Elder Tapir, was I seeing things? I could swear these two brothers used Light Element to increase your strength back there."

Tapir agreed with him. "You did not imagine things. They did use Light Element."

Rui was also curious about that. "Both of you came from the Realm of Gods. Both of you have a ridiculous talent for cultivation. Not only that but your Soul Guiding Power is stronger than anyone else. Now, you have Light Element skills, skills that are capable of increasing a High Devil's strength to such a level..."

Rui could only think about one possibility. "Are you really devils, or are you part of the angels?"

"Angels?" Rean and Roan thought Rui couldn't be any more wrong. But then again, Light Element wasn't something common in these parts, except for the Light Devil Clan. "We're not angels, don't worry. Besides, if we were, we would be some kind of allies, right?"

The thing that puzzled Rui the most was that he had already checked the twins' bodies. It didn't matter how he looked at them. They were devils through and through. He was an Elder Devil himself. Could a concealment skill be powerful enough to even trick him?

"Enough!" Rui used his Spatial Powers and grabbed the twins, pushing them close. "I'm thankful that your skills allowed Tapir to escape with Fagund, especially since Mephisto's devils didn't know about him. However, there are too many secrets to my liking. You better start talking."

Rean and Roan didn't seem bothered at all with Rui's outburst. "You have your secrets. In exchange, we have ours. What you need to know is that we can win the next Underworld Soul Guiding Contest for you. Could our identities be more important than the Underworld Relic? That's what's on the table, isn't it?"

Rui felt his rage rising, but he let the twins go after that. "Fine. At the very least, I don't think you're allied to other devil clans."

Fagund was nervous for a moment but sighed in relief when Rui let them go. He took that chance to also change the topic. "Clan master, what about the Mephisto Clan? They broke the rules. Will the other Elder Devils let that pass?"

Rui obviously knew that. "I will summon an Elder Devil meeting to discuss that issue. Mephisto has a lot to explain."
