Death... and me
chapter-2072

The Devil was impressed that Sesame didn't even try to negotiate after giving such a high price. After all, it was Rank Five Stones. Those weren't easy to find just anywhere. But Sesame was an old monster that lived in the Underworld for a very long time, even before the Swamp of No Return received the Fragment's fall. It was definitely a high amount to others, but not as much to him. Especially since Devilish Stones weren't of much use for his race, as he was like Rean and Roan, he needed Divine Energy.

Sesame then threw a Spatial Ring to the Devil containing exactly a hundred thousand Devilish Stones. The Devil Dealer was obviously ecstatic to receive that as a part of the payment would be given to him. "R-Right! I'll get you all the information you requested straight away. Just a moment, sir."

Not long after, the Devil returned with a Jade Slip, giving it to Sesame right away. "Please, check the contents, sir. Our organization can guarantee that at least 50% of the information should be up to date. As you know, things change as time goes by, so part of the information might not represent the actual state of affairs anymore."

Sesame already knew how things worked here. "50% is a very high number. I'm satisfied with it. If things turn out well, I'll come back straight to you for a few more deals."

The Devil was obviously happy to hear that. "Great! By the way, one of the pieces of information that is absolutely accurate is Elder Devil Belial's home location. He hasn't moved out for hundreds of thousands of years as the area suits his cultivation very much."

Sesame and Roan looked into the information in the Jade Slip and saw that it had a lot more than they needed, including some pieces about Belial's cultivation methods.

-It is known that Elder Devil Belial cultivates the AfterLife Fog Mantra, created by himself. It's a cultivation that heavily relies on the energy of dead souls to create illusions different from any conventional method. Strong Soul Power and Mental Awareness are advised to anyone intending to get in contact with this Elder Devil. At the very least, a Soul Protection treasure is needed.-

Sesame and Roan looked at each other and nodded. They didn't say anything and simply left the room, getting back in the street a minute later.

Back inside the chamber, a voice echoed in the Devil Dealer's ear. "He seems quite wealthy. His Space-Time Initial Stage might be troublesome. However, if we join forces with Fugrin and Valamidos, we should be able to trap him. It will be even easier if you take action as well, Nassar."

The Devil Dealer's expression had completely changed after Sesame and Roan left. He didn't seem to be afraid of Sesame's cultivation at all. Due to the formations set in place in the chamber, one could not pry on the other part's cultivation unless they allowed it by themselves. That's what Sesame did a moment ago, for example.

Turns out that the Dealer, Nassar, is also a Space-Time Realm Deil, and he is at the Peak-Stage at that. Yet, he immediately shook his head. "If you want to die, be my guest."

There was a sudden gasp of surprise as a new Devil appeared in the chamber. "Is his background this problematic?" Naturally, the new Devil wasn't worried about Sesame's Initial Stage Space-Time Realm. He could only guess that Nassar knew who the Devil was.

Nassar shook his head again, though. "He has no need for a background, Kegivre. I'm pretty sure that small Black Devil is also at the Elder Devil Realm."

"What?!" Kegrive was obviously the other Devil's name. "I've never heard about an Elder Devil similar to him. Is he disguising himself? No, wait! Are you sure he is an Elder Devil?"

Nassar could only shake his head again. "How can I be sure? If someone at that level tries to hide their cultivation from me, that is easy. Also, I don't know who he is. The reason I said he is at the Elder Devil level is nothing but a gut feeling. My instincts saved my life countless times during my life, and I'm not about to ignore them now."

Nassar then looked at Kegrive with a sly expression. "Of course, I might be wrong and he is truly just an Initial Stage Space-Time Realm Devil. If you want to try your luck, by all means, be my guest. Who knows? Perhaps I'm trying to fool you so that I can catch those two alone and take all their wealth for myself." That was definitely a possibility in the Underworld, or better, in any Cultivation Realm. "Just don't expect me to be there with you."

"Hmph!" Kegrive immediately gave up the idea, though. "I've known you long enough to understand when you are joking or not. Since they are that dangerous, I'm definitely not involving myself."

Nassar nodded. "It's good that you understand. Besides, we got a very high payment. That's already a great deal, so let's be satisfied with what we have." However, Nassar's smile turned cold at that moment. "We won't try our luck, but that doesn't mean others wouldn't."

Kegrive obviously understood what Nassar was trying to say. "Hahaha! Leave it to me. Some rumors that escaped by accident are common in this Dark Web City. I'll make sure these 'accidental' rumors will reach the right Devils."

Nassar didn't say anything and just got up before leaving the room.

Roan and Sesame didn't have any intention of continuing in the city since they were running against time. They left through the nearest entrance before disappearing in the distance.

Around an hour later, news of the sudden demise of two Space-Time Realm Devils who went out to rob some foreigners spread around the city. These Devils heard the 'accidental' rumor about the wealth being carried by Roan and Sesame and decided to make it their own. Well, they shouldn't have done that.
