Death… And Me-Novel



At the moment, the outside world could be called anything except dark. A bright light shined through the Spatial Passage, illuminating the inside of the Dimensional Realm as well. "Could it be we were found, and there is a trap outside?"

[Not likely,] Sister Orb answered. [I can't feel the presence of any formation. First of all, why would the enemy reveal their presence outside? A trap is supposed to not be perceived, right?]

Everyone had to admit Sister Orb was right. With that, Sesame immediately stepped forward, preparing to leave. "I'm going to take a look. If there is really any danger, it will be a lot easier for me to escape. You guys just stay hidden here until I call you out."

No one had any issues with Sesame's idea and let the cat, or Pixiu, pass through the Spatial Passage. They waited inside for a few minutes until, finally, Sesame called them. "Come out. There isn't anyone nearby."

Rean and Roan didn't waste time and quickly came out. Naturally, so did everyone else. "So bright..."

Rean closed his eyes and felt the elements in his surroundings. "There is so much Light Element! Dark Element is still the major Element around, but the Light Element doesn't lose to it by much."

"That's not all," Roan added. "I can feel that the Dark Element is slowly disappearing. Or, to be more specific, the Light Element is erasing it."Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.nᴇt

Sesame pondered a bit before saying, "Roan should come with me. The rest of you go back into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. We will investigate the nearest city to see what is happening."

Roan nodded. "That's all we can do at the moment. If whatever is happening has nothing to do with us, we will just depart for the Temporal Path and return to the Realm of Gods."

[Ahem...] Hex didn't seem very willing, though. [Since I'm free to do as I wish, I'll go somewhere else. You won't complain, right? I'm supposed to be free now.]

Rean and Roan didn't mind. "If you wish to do so, be our guest."

Rean then patted Hex right after. "Thanks for all the help, friend. By the way, do you have a way for us to contact you in the future if we need?"

[Why would you want to contact me?]

"Isn't that obvious?" Rean answered with a question. "You said there are other Universes out there. Perhaps one day, we will have to rely on you to get out of here."

Hex didn't like the idea very much. However, he was more concerned about leaving this place. [Fine...] Immediately, Hex's energy accumulated into a single point between him and Rean. Following that, a hexagon cube identical to Hex appeared in mid-air. It's just that this one was a palm-sized Hex instead of being bigger than Rean. [You can just pour your Divine Origin Energy inside and use a Divine Sense Message. It will be delivered to me as long as I'm still in this Universe.]

Rean smiled as he put the hexagon cube away. "Alright, thanks. We will see you around someday."

Hex was surprised that Rean didn't consider the possibility of that small communication device being fake. Well, it wasn't fake. Hex was very confident that no one could use it to locate him as it used a type of technology from outside this Universe. [Err... Sure, let me know if you need something. I'll be the one to decide if I will come out to find you or not, though.]

Rean returned to Roan's side as everyone bid farewell to Hex. "Until someday, Hex."

Hex quickly gathered his energy and manipulated the Spatial Laws around him. He wasn't at the level of a Divinity Realm being like Sesame, but opening a Spatial Gate for himself definitely wasn't an issue. [Goodbye.] Right after, he threw himself inside and disappeared into the distance. A few moments later, the Spatial Gate closed as well. No one knows when they will meet again.

Rean then looked at the others around him. "Alright, let's go back to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm."

*Vup, vup, vup, vup...*

Rean and the others disappeared, leaving only Roan and Sesame outside. "The nearest city should be Flangiji at the border of the Sparse Black Grass Land. Since it is one of the very few cities in this region, it is quite big."

Roan was satisfied with the idea. "A big city is more likely to have the answer why the Sparse Black Grass Land suddenly got this spike of Light Element. Let's go there."

Sesame opened another Spatial Gate and left with Roan straight away.

Meanwhile, near the Temporal Path Entrance, not a single Devil could be found. First of all, it would be hard for the Devils to even get close to this place as the concentration of Light Elements was so high that it would cause several side effects.

At the center of the city, around the Temporal Path, there was now a bright white palace. This building wasn't here before as it didn't match any of the other buildings around. Nonetheless, it was heavily guarded while winged beings came and left it nonstop.

However, even though this place was foreign, at the very top of the palace, there was someone the twins would definitely recognize. The Light Devil Clan Leader, Rui. "So the Light Element spread easier in our Light Devil Clan territory, correct?"

A subordinate quickly nodded as he discussed the events of his squadron. "Yes, senior Rui. The was one of the first territories we took control over."

Rui nodded, satisfied. "Good." He then looked at another subordinate who had more reports. "What about the Temporal Path? Aren't the Elder Devils in the Realm of Gods trying to force their way through back here?"

"We have three Archangels defending the entrance from the inside, sir." The guy quickly answered. "Besides, if they commit to the Temporal Path, they will allow the Realm of Gods' experts to completely wipe the Devils out in there. They are in a dilemma at the moment."

"Good!" Rui was even more satisfied. "Alright, you can leave now."

After they left, Rui's expression changed. He went to the window and looked outside. "Everything according to the plan..."
