Death... and me
chapter-1680

“Zones?” Rean asked, slightly confused.

Habac nodded, explaining, “That Dimensional Realm is divided into thousands of zones. Each zone will allow the use of one of the five senses.”

Min understood the concept. “Since it’s a test, I’m pretty sure that zones that allow sight to be used are the rarest.”

Habac smiled in response. “Correct. The last time when I entered it, I hadn’t found a single zone that allowed me to use my sight. It went without saying that I failed that test since I didn’t find a single Sense Seed. The zones are the only other way to get your senses back without the Sense Seeds.”

Rean then looked in the direction of the mercenaries in Blansin’s group. “Could it be that this test has no dangers itself?”

Habac nodded once again, replying, “That’s correct. This test is all about finding the Sense Seeds before others. The realm itself will not try to kill you in any way. The main danger is definitely the other participants. That’s because it takes ten minutes for a participant to absorb a Sense Seed. It can not be absorbed faster than that. Can you imagine? Battles where you can’t tell right from left happening around you? You might get yourself killed, and you won’t even feel the pain if your sense of touch isn’t working.”

Rean bitterly smiled as he looked at his badge. “The badges aren’t very helpful in this next realm, it seems.” Rean then thought about something else. “Right! How can you tell who your group members are from the others?”

Habac pointed at the badge, saying, “The badge themselves. You will feel a link to the other badges in your group as long as you pour Divine Energy into it.”

Erla and Min sighed in relief after that. At least they would know who their friends were.

Rean then looked at Roan, who was just listening to everything. ‘Are you thinking the same thing as I am?’

Roan glanced at Rean before nodding. ‘That’s the perfect place to make use of him.’

Celis and Kentucky could also tell what Rean and Roan were planning. ‘In that case, we’ll also join you. Sense Seeds are hard to obtain for others, but it won’t be the case for us.’

Rean and Roan didn’t mind. ‘You’re right. Although a bigger group means a lot more Sense Seeds, we can get to the seeds faster than anyone else.’

However, Rean looked at Kentucky and Celis’ group of demon beasts. ‘Just be aware that your group is way too big. We don’t mind letting them take advantage of our plan. However, they’ll be the last ones. After all, your group is twice as big compared to Roan’s group or mine.’

‘That’s not a problem,’ Kentucky and Celis didn’t mind.

Soon after, Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis told their own group members that they would all join together for the next test. Naturally, everyone was taken aback. “Are you guys crazy?! It will take too long to find Sense Seeds for everyone. Look around you. The larger groups are all breaking down into smaller groups because they know that speed is important here.” Sure enough, everyone thought that.

Roan snorted in response. “Hah! I’m not forcing anyone to follow Rean, Kentucky, Celis, and me. If you guys want to separate into smaller groups to try to find more Sense Seeds, by all means, be my guest. Just don’t come complaining to us later.”

Erla looked at Rean. “For you guys to decide to join together, it’s because you have something in mind, right?”

Rean smiled after hearing that. “Hehe! We do have an idea indeed.” Rean then looked at everyone. “Be aware that Roan, Kentucky, Celis, and I will be the first ones to take the Sense Seeds. The question is whether you guys trust us or not. If not, the four of us will head inside on our own.”

Erla, Min, and Habac didn’t even think twice. “We trust you.” It’s not like they had much choice anyway. Besides, they saw what Rean was capable of, so they thought it was better to stick with him. Especially after they heard from Habac how hard the test was with everyone looking for the seeds while attacking each other.

The demon beasts in Kentucky and Celis group didn’t even need to talk. They didn’t really trust Kentucky and Celis. What they trusted were their Divine Bloodlines. It was simple as that. Not to mention that Erla being in this big group also helped. She was a Divine Demon Beast as well, after all.

Krikei looked at Lita and Vrie after that. “What do you think?”

Vrie shrugged his shoulders, saying, “Why not? I don’t think Roan would pull us into a hopeless situation. This is one of the most random tests, after all. Since they seem to have a plan, I’m all for it.”

Lita nodded, saying, “It’s not like we have a plan of action for this weird test anyway. It has always been a white elephant.”

Krikei agreed with them. “Alright, Roan. We will also join this group and let the four of you take the seeds first.”

Rean then looked at the mercenaries in Blansin’s group before sending Roan a Divine Sense message. ‘After the four of us take the seeds, I’ll give the next ones to Erla, Min, and Habac, okay? I want to take this chance to attack those guys while they’re confused.’

Roan didn’t mind. ‘Alright. Do you need help?’

Rean shook his head in response. ‘No. If things go south, I’ll leave on my own. This is more related to Erla’s own revenge. I’m just giving her a bit of help.’

With that decided, the groups separated and waited for the next few weeks to pass. Eventually, the spatial gate to the Null Senses Realm opened, and one of the managers allowed everyone entrance.

“Remember, you need to recover all your five senses to be able to use the spatial gate at the center of the Dimensional Realm. Only then will you conclude the test. You can all enter now.”

Everyone entered the gate together. Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis’ groups also registered their badges as being part of the same team so that they could feel each other.

However, little did others notice, but a new member also joined their huge group. A young man at the Saint Realm called Luan.
